Ultimately, upon Tu Po's message, the royal family gave up the struggle. They replaced 297 people and used ninety-nine drops of "Divine Silver Water."
He also made you swear an oath, and you readily agreed: "If I go back on my word afterward, may my soul be extracted and burned for over a hundred years!"
Afterwards, you were the only one who opened the map for the group of people who had been switched places. The other five, wanting to share the hardships, also opened the map with you, breaking their oath together.
Although you have no grudge against them in this life, the excuse you used before was "My master ordered me to punish these evil people," and this royal family that has lasted for 3,000 years, the great purges that are carried out every 600 years, and the dozens of people who are offered sacrifices to the Eight Kun Serpent King every day... they all deserve to die.
[You've arrived at the Serpent King's Cave again. The Eight Kun Serpent King's vitality is terrifying. You kept cutting its wounds and bleeding it out, but it kept healing and recovering... It took you a full half day to kill it.]
[Then, carefully separate and pack the blood and snake carcass. You've only been at sea for two months, yet you've already collected all the most precious things from this giant island. Now, it's time to sit down and enjoy the fruits of your labor.]
The other five unanimously decided to give you the purest "Divine Silver Water" first. They weren't in a hurry at all; snake blood and snake meat were also powerful martial arts medicines, and the eight snake penises were even more precious!
The six of you were practicing martial arts on Tianyuan Peak, oblivious to everyone else. Due to the abstract nature of this kingdom, the royal family hadn't appeared for a long time, and no one dared to go up the mountain to investigate.
[Your progress in strengthening your marrow has increased by almost 10% every day. This is because you've used too much "Divine Silver Water." After thousands of years of exploration, the royal family has long since developed an optimal formula and the most efficient consumption method.]
While your method has led to rapid growth, it has wasted over 50% of the drug's effectiveness.
However, you used 300% of the medication.
[Your internal strength training was completed on the fifth day, and your internal energy has been completely transformed into powerful internal energy!]
The next stage is complete integration, which requires "proficiency" and mainly involves enhancing overall control over one's own power, but it cannot raise the upper limit of one's strength.
For example, an average person's body can withstand a 200-pound impact, a 100-pound punch, and a maximum of 30 pounds with a finger. However, after achieving perfect unity, a single impact still delivers 200 pounds, but a punch or a finger strike can mobilize the entire body's power to resonate and deliver 190 pounds and 180 pounds respectively!
The claim by a master who claims to be "perfectly integrated" that he can "fight you using only his little finger" is a lie!
You reached the pinnacle of complete unity on the ninth day.
The final step for a Grandmaster is "Manifestation of Divine Will." At this spiritual stage, "Divine Silver Water" can still be helpful, but its effects are significantly reduced.
However, the reduced effect was compensated for by your soul, which is more than five times stronger than your original essence.
On the thirty-third day atop Tianyuan Peak, you successfully manifested your "Divine Will." When facing enemies, you no longer possess only the "invisible majesty of a Grandmaster"; your spirit can even project martial will, its power many times greater!
On the forty-first day, you climbed to the top of the highest building on Tianyuan Peak, your roar echoing throughout the entire capital city below—your life level has leaped another level, placing you at the pinnacle of martial arts in this world!
[On the fifty-ninth day, you must stop practicing martial arts, because you have reached the point of no further progress!]
According to typical cultivation novels, Grandmasters are divided into early, middle, and late stages, and the Great Perfection stage. With each advancement in level, one's essence, energy, spirit, and the three abilities mentioned above will gradually awaken and strengthen simultaneously.
And you, now, are undoubtedly a "Grandmaster late-stage, tenth-level peak, breakthrough 100% to the next level, surpassing the Great Perfection!"
[Unlike last time, when you reached this level you were already a complete madman, this time...]
You gaze at your reflection in the mirror—snow-white hair, silver eyes, and even paler skin—and fall silent.
Yun Shou: "Well... it's not impossible, is it?"
His face shape has also changed; he's gone from 100% handsome to having a touch more good looks.
"Ah, is he going to go from a handsome guy to a dashing man?"
You unbuttoned your pants and glanced inside. Hmm, the white stain was quite thorough.
"There are so many white ones, and they're all so white!"
"..." Yun Shou didn't want to speak.
After confirming that they had enough, the rest of the group began using the "Divine Silver Water." However, one grandmaster said he would leave this treasure to the next generation and try using snake blood instead.
Snake blood is hundreds of times less potent than "divine silver water," but the quantity required is tens of thousands of times greater.
[One after another, both orthodox and unorthodox deities ascended the mountain. They truly considered themselves gods, and at the same time, they harbored a willingness to die for the royal family who "respected" them: "I am a celestial being. After I die, I will only return to the heavenly realm. In the mortal world, I should protect the loyal royal family under my command. After all, when a mortal dies, he is truly dead."]
None of these deformed martial artists, whose strongest are merely Grandmasters, can withstand a single blow from you.
Although your current combat power is only slightly more than twice that of a Grandmaster, and not even comparable to when you were still human, you are still one of the strongest in this world.
In the 283rd year of the Daqing era, during the third month at Tianyuan Peak, everyone emerged from seclusion. Each one was a "Grandmaster at the Great Perfection," and each one had their fur dyed white, including the one who drank snake blood.
This time you've won six times out of ten, and returned home with a full haul!
[Transporting a large amount of supplies, six Grandmasters strode across the sea in their ship, creating a striking scene.]
When you finally set foot in the desert and returned to this continent, five months had passed since your departure.
"Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, everyone here is a Grandmaster." Li Tianbing, the Grandmaster of the Meteor Sect, couldn't help but sigh. He only became a Grandmaster five years ago; his Grandmaster experience wasn't even as long as yours.
[The sight of the vast desert reminds you of unpleasant experiences. The locals in this wretched place are xenophobic; you could be beaten to death just for watching a play. You tell everyone to stay put for a moment, and you'll be right back.]
You randomly grabbed a priest who understood three languages, asked him about the general situation, released him, and then raced all the way to the core tribe of that desert tribal group, the "King Priest Tribe."
[The high priest, barely comparable to a grandmaster, was pinned down by your hammer. He watched helplessly as you used your inner strength to transport Oligo (a type of energy) from various parts of the tribe, smearing it on the altar. He let out a heart-wrenching scream, slamming his head against the ground repeatedly. Finally, he twisted his neck to the right, unable to bear it any longer, and committed suicide.]
You leave satisfied.
At this time, the Qinghe Gang's power dwindled once again. Your loyal acting leader, the Right Protector, was attacked yet again. A Daoist sect deacon pointed out his "insolent words" and broke his right arm.
Xu Ruohai is almost sixty years old. Although he is still a top-tier martial artist, his physical functions have passed their peak. It's been three months since his broken bone was broken, and his hand is still wrapped in bandages.
Because the Daoist sect started to panic.
