According to media reports and announcements, it had only been ten years since the Spirit Energy Revival, but it had actually happened much earlier than that. It was just that the Spirit Energy Revival had initially only affected remote places such as deep mountains and forests, Hongze Great Lakes, and vast seas.
At that time, there was a lot of information about this on the internet.
For example, the Celestial Lake Water Monster, Godzilla, the Amazon Primeval Forest Python, the Giant Adamantine Ape on the Atlantic Ocean's Skeleton Island, and so on. There were even some photos and blurry videos that leaked out, but they were all refuted by the government in the end. Furthermore, the government secretly admonished those who spread the "rumors."
The inheritance of martial arts was even longer, but after experiencing the baptism of many wars in modern times, martial arts gradually declined. Coupled with the rise of artillery, firearms, and hot weapons, even those martial arts families and martial arts sects had some different voices.
What was the use of practicing martial arts?
Cultivation was too difficult, and it was difficult to make any progress. After training bitterly for ten years, others could defeat him with a single spear strike.
However, according to some records, in fact, martial arts were very popular in ancient times, and the environment at that time might be similar to the current Spirit Energy Revival. That was why there were some overlords lifting cauldrons and taking the heads of generals in the midst of an army of ten thousand. Without a strong martial arts cultivation, it was impossible to achieve this.
There was also the legend of Liu Bang slaying the White Dragon. In fact, it was just that he had killed a ferocious beast, the White Snake.
The three people in the car had been practicing martial arts before the revival of spirit qi, and their statuses were not low. Naturally, they knew a lot of secrets. For example, Void Realm powerhouses were rare in ancient times, and they were known as Earth Immortals.
This kind of powerhouse could break through the void and ascend to the heavens. It was not a myth. Some powerhouses speculated that the so-called ascension to the heavens might refer to crossing the starry sky with one's physical body.
The last recorded Void Interpretation powerhouse was born about 600 years ago. The Wudang Sacred Land, one of the five sacred lands of China, was founded by him.
In the car.
Cheng Dongfeng sighed, his eyes turning red as he said, "Old Duan, could you apply to headquarters to see if there's a need to place more pawns in the Sky Demon Cult? I think I'm especially suited to be a spy since I could enter the Secret Realm directly to cultivate. I'm so jealous."
What did it mean to be arranged by the Sky Demon Cult to cultivate in a secret realm?
This meant that that person had truly obtained the trust of the Heavenly Demon Cult and would be heavily nurtured. When that time came, would there be any lack of cultivation techniques and cultivation resources?
Duan Tianhe smiled and said, "Alright, I'll apply to the Minister when I get back."
"No, no, no …"
Cheng Dongfeng quickly replied, "I'm just saying it. Things are not like before, and those Sky Demon Cultists are everywhere. They might even know who I am, and I'd better not get killed the moment I go undercover … it's better to just earn merit points, and we might have the chance to cultivate in our own secret realm."
"By the way … the higher-ups specifically called you to tell you about this? Is there no other information? "
Duan Tianhe's expression turned solemn as he said, "He must have just come out of the secret realm and sent word that the Sky Demon Cultists had found a treasure at Mount Helan. It could be a rank-nine willow tree, and the Sky Demon Cult has dispatched an elder and two peak Grands to Mount Helan."
"A rank-nine floral spirit?"
Both Cheng Dongfeng and Chen Jingzhou's faces twitched. All of a sudden, Cheng Dongfeng slammed on the brakes and stopped the car by the roadside, turning stiffly towards Duan Tianhe and Chen Jingzhou, who were sitting at the backseat.
"Are you sure it's an elder and two peak Grands?"
Both Chen Jingzhou and Duan Tianhe did a double take at that.
Did Jiang He not say that Bound Star, Guilty Star, and Third Elder of the Sky Demon Cult had gone to Mount Helan to kill him?
Feelings, it was just a coincidental encounter.
Inwardly …
He silently gave the three elites of the Sky Demon Cult a thumbs up …
How unlucky!
Boisterous laughter could be heard in the car, though the atmosphere soon turned solemn again.
A rank-nine floral spirit was definitely a priceless treasure. If they could cut it down and reap some benefits, Duan Tianhe and Cheng Dongfeng might be able to quickly stabilize their cultivation and ascend to rank-eight. Even Chen Jingzhou, who had grasped sword will would improve greatly.
That was when Pudgy Jiang called.
Thrilled, he exclaimed, "Old Duan, we're rich, we're rich! I found a huge willow tree on Mount Helan, and it's so huge that it might be a floral spirit … but …"
Pudgy Jiang paused and said doubtfully, "That floral spirit looks a little withered."
… …
In the living room of the mansion.
Jiang He could not help gulping as he smelled the aroma wafting out of the kitchen.
Suddenly, his eyes twitched.
In the kitchen, Sora's aura had changed slightly. Her frail qi and blood had strengthened considerably.
"A Demi-Martial Artist now?"
Jiang He smiled, unsurprised.
After all, Sora's qi and blood had strengthened considerably after she blew on a cucumber of his, and she benefited immeasurably from the energy released from the Violet Flame Lingzhi when she was cooking.
Soon.
A plate of [Violet Flame Lingzhi stir-fried with rank-four Feral Beast beef slices] that looked, smelled, and looked good was placed in front of Jiang He.
Meanwhile, Sora served Jiang He rice, while she herself, dressed in a sexy maid costume, served Jiang He from a corner.
Jiang He smiled. "Have a seat, Sora. Have some … oh, by the way, you can have meat, but don't eat the Violet Flame Lingzhi … whatever, I'll just pour you some soup."
Sora was dumbstruck.
Holding her bowl, she obediently put down the Violet Flame Lingzhi she was holding with her chopsticks, though she looked a little aggrieved.
Jiang He could not help being amused.
It was not that he was being stingy.
Rather, the energy contained in the Violet Flame Lingzhi was too powerful, and Sora, a Demi-Martial Artist, could not eat it at all. A single piece would replenish qi and blood, and overdo it … could kill.
Putting a mouthful of the Violet Flame Lingzhi into his mouth, Jiang He closed his eyes and chewed softly.
The taste …
It was just like mushrooms, and the most important thing was the texture.
Once the Violet Flame Lingzhi entered his mouth, it was as if gunpowder exploded in his mouth. It was not scalding, but it felt as if flames were burning in his mouth.
"Violet flame … violet flame … does this flame represent fire?"
Jiang He ate three bowls of rice in one go, finishing off the entire plate of stir-fried beef with the Violet Flame Lingzhi before patting his belly in satisfaction.
Still, a look of disappointment flashed across his face when he sensed his own cultivation.
"Wasn't this thing supposed to improve cultivation by a large margin?"
"I ate an entire Violet Flame Lingzhi, but my cultivation only rose to rank-seven intermediate-pinnacle?"
Jiang He did the math.
From rank-seven novice to rank-seven intermediate-pinnacle …
You call that a large margin???
"Moreover, what happened to the chance of awakening superpowers?"
Jiang He could not help slapping the dining table angrily, only to find in surprise that a faint flame had appeared over his palm.
In the next split second, a scorching sensation erupted from Jiang He's body.
"Oh no, it's awakening!"
"It's so hot! My body is about to catch fire!"
Jiang He's expression changed, and he arrived at the third-floor swimming pool in a flash.
The pool was eighty square meters, and it was filled with clear water.
Plop.
Jiang He promptly jumped down.
And yet, the scorching sensation over his body did not diminish at all. Instead, it grew stronger, and his clothes were burnt to ashes even though he was soaking in the water.
Glug, glug!
The water in the swimming pool began to churn and bubble, directly boiled by his body heat and rapidly evaporating.
Jiang He was dazed from the heat, as if he was hallucinating. Then, he could vaguely see a graceful figure entering his vision.
"Glug, Master …"
