High-Level Martial Era - Chapter 802

Chapter 802: Chapter 421: The Powerful Jing Kui! Meeting the True God (Seeking Monthly Votes)
 

Although Jiang Yuan True God had previously established a Law oath with Li Yuan, Jiang Yuan True God did so with the mindset of ‘give it a try, there is nothing to lose.’

He never truly believed Li Yuan would surely ascend to Heavenly God.

After all, becoming a Heavenly God is incredibly difficult.

What about awakening the Eight-Star Veins? Most direct disciples of Heavenly Gods are of the Eight-Star Veins too, but only a few eventually ascend to become Heavenly Gods.

Therefore, after bringing Li Yuan back to Yuan Country Capital, Jiang Yuan True God gave Li Yuan opportunities… rather than directly bestowing treasures upon him.

He was also observing Li Yuan.

In Jiang Yuan True God’s view, if Li Yuan could really become a Heavenly God, then with the opportunities he provided, Li Yuan should be able to rise quickly in both Yuan Country Capital and the Starry Sky Ancient City.

If he can’t become the strongest genius of his generation in Jue Xing Continent, what chance does he have to become a Heavenly God?

But Jiang Yuan True God hadn’t expected that, in just a few days, Li Yuan had already caused such a huge stir.

“Also a Flying Heaven Eight-Star Vein.”

“It seems even more formidable than in my youth.” Jiang Yuan True God revealed a slight smile.

Before he had received the inheritance of Anchi Heavenly God, he had awoken the Seven-Star Veins as a Prime Warrior, and after receiving the heavenly inheritance, he broke through again and awoken the Eight-Star Veins!

“He is about to get some real benefits.”

“Perhaps, this Xu Yuan has a sliver of hope to awaken the Nine-Star Pulse as a Demigod.” Jiang Yuan True God thought secretly.

The difficulty of progressing from Eight-Star Veins to Nine-Star Pulse was terrifyingly high. In Jue Xing Continent, Demigods with Eight-Star Veins are born in almost every generation, but in billions of years, those who have manifested the Nine-Star Pulse are extremely few.

At least, Jiang Yuan True God himself had not managed to do so.

“However.”

“Being too dazzling is not always a good thing.” Jiang Yuan True God’s eyes turned cold: “I’m afraid once the news spreads, many will start harboring ulterior motives.”

Having dominated Jue Xing Continent for over ten thousand years, Jiang Yuan True God had many formidable enemies.

With this thought.

Jiang Yuan True God’s mind stirred, and soon after, a breeze passed by, followed by the wind coalescing to form a blurry figure.

“Your Majesty.” The blurry figure said respectfully.

“Shadow Demon, I have a task for you, coming up…” Jiang Yuan True God quickly laid out his request.

“Should we inform him?” the blurry figure asked.

“No need, just act in secret.” Jiang Yuan True God shook his head: “If nothing happens, there’s no need to alert him.”

“Yes.” The blurry figure turned back into a gust of wind and disappeared within the hall.

…

In Yuan Country Capital, Jue Xing Divine Mountain, spanning hundreds of kilometers.

Although there are many strong individuals stationed inside, the total number is not large, and it is not as densely populated as many Divine families, thus it’s quite desolate, with continuous mountain ranges and many Treasures and Exotic Beasts living in them.

Among one of the inconspicuous mountain ranges.

Outside a simple wooden hut.

“Whoosh!”

A black-robed youth stood in the void tens of meters high, wielding a long sword. The sword suddenly trembled, and immediately his entire body erupted with countless snaking twists of lightning, exploding and covering the sky densely.

In an instant, with him as the core, it was as if he was the source of the lightning, emanating an incredibly terrifying pressure.

What’s astonishing is that the numerous lightning snakes didn’t harm the surrounding boulders or trees in the slightest; after wildly dancing around, they quickly converged back together.

Countless tiny flashes of light met on the sword, intertwining and merging perfectly with the blade.

“Chaotic Thousand Leis.”

“This move is becoming more and more refined.” Jing Kui silently pondered, this was a powerful Heavenly God art that he was cultivating.

“It’s just a pity.”

“Despite significant improvements in swordsmanship and integrating Space Law, its might is already close to that of many True God techniques.” Jing Kui thoughtfully said: “But to break through to the eighth stage High Rank of Thunder Law, there’s still a bit missing.”

He might be a Demigod,

but he possesses terrifying talent in Thunder Law, having already reached the Intermediate Rank of the eighth stage… Once he progresses further, sets the Divine Fire alight, and harnesses the strength from the evolved Divine Fire, he will most likely be able to condense the Divine Heart in a very short period.

To condense the Divine Heart is to become a True God!

But this step is as insurmountable as the firmament, blocking his path for many years.

“I hope to break through before the Ancestral Realm battle.” Jing Kui mused, “Then, beating those folks from Changqing Ancient City and Heavenly Snake Ancient City should be easy.”

As one of the top talents of Jue Xing Ancient City’s current generation, even Heavenly Gods take him very seriously, conversing with him personally.

He naturally knows some information about his rivals, each one difficult to deal with.

Suddenly.

“Huh?” Jing Kui’s eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.

He had just received intelligence from Dong Lin Pseudo-God.

“Jiang Shan and Xu Yuan, both passed through the Nine Sounds Realm?” Jing Kui showed a hint of doubt: “Is the difficulty of the Nine Sounds Realm so low? Or did Xu Yuan’s Soul Will breakthrough?”

He had been in Yuan Country Capital for half a month, mainly for the well-known Nine Sounds Realm.

But he had already met both Jiang Shan and Xu Yuan.

“It doesn’t matter.”

“Even if the Nine Sounds Realm is not as challenging as its reputation suggests… the progress in swordsmanship is nothing to scoff at.” Jing Kui felt quite indifferent inside.

Having cultivated for hundreds of years and traveled to many places across the vast lands, he had quite some experience.

With that thought, Jing Kui turned into a streak of light, quickly soaring out of the range of Jue Xing Divine Mountain, passing through layers of clouds, and flying towards the direction of the Nine Sound Building.

…

Nine Sound Building, the Nine Sounds Realm was still in operation.

However, as time passed, the number of challengers dwindled, especially as most prominent figures had already made their way through, so the hustle and bustle had diminished considerably.

The millions of spectators, though, still talked mostly about Xu Yuan and Jiang Shan. After all, it is exceedingly rare for an era to have two peerless geniuses who have conquered the Nine Sounds Realm.
