Chapter 249: Heaven-deriving Martial Technique, Called Merit

Still on a cliff, Venerable Bai was training. A faint seven-colored light surrounded him.
The masked man appeared behind him out of thin air. He half-knelt and said, “My Lord, the momentum of the Seven Great Demon Saints has reached its peak. The chaotic world between humans and demons has completely begun. Fortunately, the supreme demon did not appear with his demon army. Right now, the Seven Great Demon Saints are wreaking havoc.”
Venerable Bai did not open his eyes or answer.
The masked man could not help but ask, “My Lord, why didn’t the supreme demon take the opportunity to engulf the human race?”
Venerable Bai answered, “In the battle with the Sacred Dynasty, the demon race’s supreme being was severely injured. In addition, the enemy of the demon race is not the human race. When the Seven Great Demon Saints are resurrected, they will certainly attempt to become the supreme being of the demon race. Resurrecting the Seven Great Demon Saints was not the supreme demon’s original intention. However, after the luck of the demon race increases greatly, the Demon Saints will definitely be resurrected.”
The masked man continued to ask, “Are you referring to the Celestial Clan?” “The Celestial Clan is only one of them. There are other races on the other side of the demon race. A few years ago, that powerful aura came from that race.”
Venerable Bai said with a calm expression. When the masked man asked which race it was, he did not answer.
The masked man could only change the topic and say, “Great Jing has yet to be found, but in Martial Emperor Island, Great Jing’s luck is currently skyrocketing. The speed of this increase can already be ranked in the top ten.”
Venerable Bai asked, “Is the Martial Emperor Island unable to track down Great Jing?
The masked man answered, “They only know that it’s in the north, but they don’t know where it is exactly. After all, luck is not created by humans, and Martial Emperor Island only has observation methods.”
Venerable Bai said unhurriedly, “It seems like the Dao Ancestor did not escape. Instead, he discovered a new continent, just like how the Sacred Dynasty discovered the Divine Land.”
The masked man was suddenly enlightened and felt admiration for the Dao Ancestor. He added, “North to the Dragon Vein Continent. It seems like that is a sea that humans have never set foot in.
“When will that existence take action?”
Venerable Bai turned around and asked with a cold tone.
The masked man answered, “He said that he would soon. When he learns the divine technique, he will definitely eliminate the Seven Great Demon Saints.”
Venerable Bai said, “Tell him that if he doesn’t take action in five years, I will publicize his existence. Then, he can forget about ever becoming an upright person.”
“Yes!”
The masked man answered and disappeared.
In July, the scorching sun hung high. It was a little hotter than the summers of previous years.
Jiang Changsheng retracted his gaze and looked at everyone in the courtyard. “Jian’er and Haotian have stepped into the Grotto-heaven realm.” The moment he said that, everyone turned to look at him.
Ye Xun asked in surprise, “So soon?”
The Sword God was also shocked. It had been some time since he broke through to the One Grotto-heaven realm, but he had yet to find the opportunity to break through to the Two Grotto-heaven realm.
Jiang Changsheng did not hide anything and recounted the method for Jiang Jian and Lin Haotian to quickly become stronger, causing everyone to be silent.
A third eye that absorbed luck…
A half-demon bloodline that absorbed blood…
This was not something that could be obtained with hard work!
“This won’t do. I still have to go out and explore. Perhaps I can comprehend other methods,” Ye Xun stood up and said.
The Sword God stood up and the two of them left in a hurry.
Bai Qi looked at Ji Wujun and asked, “You’re not tempted?”
Ji Wujun answered, “It’s not worth it. The current resources of the Great Wilderness are not much better than the resources of the Divine Land. Moreover, I am about to step into the Seven Grotto-heaven realm. I should be able to break through before the end of the year.”
Bai Qi wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, she chose to shut her mouth.
Mu Lingluo smiled and said, “Recently, a strange person appeared in Great Jing. He hunted ferocious beasts and used luck to refine their tendons and bones. Then, he used this to temper himself. By doing this, he can master the talents of ferocious beasts. This method is extremely difficult. My grandfather even wanted to pay him a visit in person.”
All ferocious beasts had special abilities, but most of them had yet to be developed. They only knew how to rely on their physical bodies to hunt. These abilities were related to the attributes of martial arts spiritual energy, but they were all based on their own strength. They were not like those ferocious beasts that could rely on the power of heaven and earth.
Bai Qi curiously asked, “Who is that extraordinary person? What’s his name?”
Ji Wujun shook his head and said, “It’s Guan Tongyou who was saved by the Dao Ancestor. He is a genius, and he is the most powerful existence here other than the Dao Ancestor. He can hunt a lot more ferocious beasts, so it’s normal for him to develop a new Martial Dao. It seems like he will soon step into a higher realm.”
Mu Lingluo curiously asked, “What is Guan Tongyou’s current realm?”
She had yet to see Guan Tongyou.
Nine Grotto-heaven realm!
Ji Wujun’s answer made Mu Lingluo’s eyelids twitch.
At that moment, she felt the same as Lin Haotian. How many experts did Great Jing hide?
Jiang Changsheng said, “This method is indeed good. It is beneficial to the development of martial arts. You can learn it.”
Guan Tongyou’s net worth increased extremely fast, from 13 million to 27 million, and it had increased this much in the past five years. It seemed like it was related to the new martial arts path he had developed.
Other than Guan Tongyou and Qi Yuan, there were other capable people who had created their own Martial Dao. However, the Martial Dao of these two were the most outstanding.
Jiang Changsheng was not interested in these new Martial Daos, but for Mu Lingluo and the others who could only practice martial arts, they could give it a try.
The Martial Dao relied on everything available to strengthen one’s physique. The Immortal Dao was more brilliant in comprehending the rules of the world, tempering the body and refining the soul. Simply put, the Martial Dao had to be within the rules of the world, while the Immortal Dao could jump out of the rules and form its own rules.
The cycle of life and death was within the rules. Immortality and prying into the cycle of life and death were no longer restricted by the rules.
During the process of absorbing Qi, Jiang Changsheng’s physical body had been nourished by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and was as powerful as a
ferocious beast. Other than his physical body, he was also in control of his soul, and the fighting strength of his soul was even stronger than his physical body.
Hearing Jiang Changsheng’s words, Ji Wujun also became interested in Guan Tongyou’s Martial Dao. Coincidentally, Guan Tongyou happened to be in the capital recently, so the two women immediately went to pay him a visit. Bai Qi and the two cat demons could no longer restrain themselves and immediately followed.
For a moment, Jiang Changsheng was the only one left in the courtyard.
Jiang Changsheng began to pry into the Dao World.
White Dragon, the Three-legged Golden Crow, Tai Xi, and Tai Wa had been working hard to train. On the other hand, the other ferocious beasts and mutant beasts were very lazy. This had something to do with their thinking. They did not get strong by relying on training, but by growing naturally.
“In a while, I’ll release the two of them and let them be mythical beasts for Great Jing. This will also increase the incense offerings.”
Jiang Changsheng thought silently. As time passed, someone would eventually forget the power of the Dao Ancestor. There would always be a new generation that did not know the Dao Ancestor’s mystical abilities.
White Dragon and Golden Crow were born as mythical beasts under the Dao Ancestor, so these incense points were naturally directed to him.
This would also help the integration of Great Jing and the vassal countries.
With a unified belief, it would be easier to understand and accept each other.
Half a day later, Mu Lingluo and the others returned and obtained a secret book copied by Guan Tongyou’s disciples.
Heaven-Deriving Martial Law!
Under the influence of Jiang Changsheng, Guan Tongyou also wanted to become an immortal, so he named his new Martial Dao as law.
“The Heaven-Deriving Martial Law is indeed exquisite, and it is very suitable for the martial artists of the Great Wilderness. In the endless ocean, there are so few ferocious beasts that it would be difficult to find them. However, here, it is everywhere. With this new Martial Dao, Guan Tong can be called a saint. Ten thousand years later, his name will certainly be in the history books.” Ji Wujun sighed with emotion and sincerely admired Guan Tongyou.
Bai Qi went to Jiang Changsheng and chuckled. “Master, Guan Tongyou still misses you. He is prepared to donate this technique to the Martial Palace so that the entire Great Jing can master this martial arts technique. This is definitely giving you face.”
Jiang Changsheng said, “The world will naturally respect him and repay him.”
It did not matter if he accepted Guan Tongyou or not. Guan Tongyou coming to Great Jing had already proved his determination.
Before long, this guy would step into the Martial King realm!
This would be the first Martial King realm expert of Great Jing!
Jiang Changsheng was an immortal cultivator, and he had not integrated with Great Jing’s luck. As for Guan Tongyou, he had integrated with Great Jing’s luck, and he alone occupied nearly 20% of it.
Bai Qi smiled and said, “You’re right!”
For the next period of time, Mu Lingluo, Ji Wujun, and the three demons mastered the Heaven-Deriving Martial Law. Mu Lingluo was prepared to go back and lead the Mu Family to train in it, and Jiang Changsheng agreed.
At the end of the year, Ji Wujun broke through to the Seven Grotto-heaven realm at Longqi Mountain, causing a phenomenon of luck between heaven and earth. Her lucj had also officially integrated into Great Jing, increasing its value by 5 million incense points.
At the same time, the Emperor issued an edict to inform the public of Guan Tongyou’s contribution to martial arts and conferred him as a saint, Saint Guan!
The Heaven-Deriving Martial Law had been spread throughout the land, and it had also been copied by various forces and families. It had become the foundational cultivation technique of Great Jing. As more and more people cultivated, Guan Tongyou clearly felt his luck increasing. Unknowingly, his thoughts were clear and his comprehension increased. This feeling was extremely strange.
He specially visited Jiang Changsheng and expressed his confusion.
“This is heaven and earth’s repayment to you. The martial arts technique you founded has a great effect on heaven and earth. Other than humans, I reckon other races can also learn it and thus promote the birth of a higher realm of martial arts. I call this merit.”
Jiang Changsheng said calmly, and Guan Tongyou’s eyes lit up.
Ji Wujun was also thinking about the word merit. She sighed and said, “It can indeed be called merit. Dao Ancestor, you are really amazing. You have seen through this matter and have yet to give it a name.”
Very few people could advance the martial arts path, and very few people thought of this. They all thought it was the effect of their own martial arts, so Ji Wujun’s admiration at this moment was sincere.
Jiang Changsheng smiled calmly. This was only the merit of the martial arts world. It was far inferior to the merit of immortal cultivation.
However, no matter how strong martial arts were, they were still to strengthen themselves. They were different from the Immortal Dao. The latter could create all things, split the sky and earth, and create the cycle of Yin and Yang. Therefore, the feedback of merit was a thousand times greater. However, in any case, with Guan Tongyou’s martial arts merit, his future cultivation would be more smooth.
Guan Tongyou chatted with Jiang Changsheng for a long time. The explanation of merit made Guan Tongyou admire Jiang Changsheng even more. He felt that Jiang Changsheng knew everything.
When Guan Tongyou left, he had become Jiang Changsheng’s ultimate believer. He could die for him, and Jiang Changsheng could take control of Guan Tongyou’s body to assist him.
He was really a martial arts fanatic!
Jiang Changsheng sighed internally.
At the same time, he also came to a realization.
As the saying went, there were three thousand Great Dao. Different worlds had different cultivation methods. Perhaps martial arts were also one of the three thousand Daos, but it was born later than the Immortal Dao. Only when he broke the rules of the Martial Dao could his Immortal Dao be considered as having truly entered the Dao..
