Earth.
The headquarters of the Martial Arts Department (MAD) in Jingdu City.
"Where's Minister Wang?"
"What? He's still in seclusion? "
"There's trouble in the west. The Ape King of Skull Island attacked Australia yesterday, killing three of their elites and affecting countless civilians. Over a million civilians and soldiers were killed, and the Australian leaders are requesting aid, hoping that the Hua Nation could send their elites to aid them."
"Recently, Mount Hua, Mount Tai, Mount Emei, and various other places have been experiencing unusual phenomena. Our brothers at the intelligence department had gone to investigate and found that the Spirit Qi in those places had mutated, and it is slowly spreading across the nation and even the globe. It seems that the Second Revival of Spirit Qi is about to begin."
Many pieces of information were reported.
Secretary Zhou was the one who received them.
He was now divine-tier, and had returned to his previous post after his ascension.
After memorizing each piece of information, Secretary Zhou said, "Everyone, Minister Wang's seclusion this time is to break through to the realm above the Paragon of Martial Arts and open up a path to heaven for warriors. I'll have to trouble you with the matters outside."
"Most of the elites from various immortal sects and factions have returned to the Hua Nation, and there's nothing to fear even if the Second Revival of Spirit Qi would give birth to Ferals again. As for Australia …"
Secretary Zhou thought about it and said, "The one on Skull Island was once the most powerful Feral on Earth, the pinnacle of Feral Emperors."
"It had been hiding before, but now that it has come out and attacked Australia, it might have completed its evolution and even obtained a daemon cultivator's legacy. Now that Minister Wang isn't here, none of us would be its match."
The many MAD elites were silent.
"Can we ask Mister Jiang?"
Someone asked. "Mister Jiang's power is unparalleled, and I heard that his pets are immeasurably powerful. Mister Jiang only needs to send one dog to Australia to solve the crisis there."
Secretary Zhou shook his head and smiled bitterly. "How could we trouble Mister Jiang so easily?"
"Well, I'll contact Mister Jiang later. We'll wait for Minister Wang to come out if he's unwilling."
The many MAD elites were ready to leave.
That was when a frightening aura suddenly arose from inside the MAD. The entire MAD, as well as all of Jingdu City, trembled.
"That's …"
"The location of Minister Wang's training room!"
Secretary Zhou and the other martial elites all flew out of the building, only to find a figure crashing through the building and taking to the skies.
"It's Minister Wang!"
A warrior growled and wanted to chase after him, but he found that Wang Hou's speed was too fast. He broke through the atmosphere in almost an instant and rushed into outer space.
Rumble!
Rumbling sounds came from beyond the sky.
Immediately afterwards, a great dao appeared, crossing tens of thousands of li, appearing beyond the heavens.
Above the Great Path, the Noble aura surged, and there were thousands of strange phenomena around him. The Qi of the Great Path drew out many human silhouettes, performing martial arts in the air.
Within the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, the Ten Thousand Swords Daoist took to the air and looked beyond the sky in shock.
Within the Taixu Sect, the Daoists took to the air with somber expressions.
In Shennongjia, a Flood Dragon flew up and hovered in the sky.
Soon, the many Golden Immortals and Perfected Immortals who returned from the celestial battlefield gathered together. Their Immortal Senses flickered as they conversed.
"Martial arts!"
Someone exclaimed in awe, "There was no martial arts in the world before the Pre-Qin Dynasty. Cultivators cultivated, refining qi into essence, and refining essence into spirit. All of them walked the immortal path, and even the path of body refinement was an immortal path."
"Then, when the Hundred Races invaded and Earth was powerless to resist, the mortal emperor forged the Twelve Bronze Men under the guidance of the Six Saints to suppress the Dragon Veins of the homeworld and cut off the Dao of the homeworld. Then, he used the Star Map to seal the dimensions around the homeworld so that the champions of the Hundred Races could not enter the homeworld. However, the immortal path became difficult to cultivate because of that, which was why martial arts was born."
"Still, martial arts is difficult, and each tier has to be explored by the cultivator themselves … I had thought that Paragon was the end of martial arts, but I never thought that this person could take that step!"
On Earth, the ground quaked.
Beneath the ground, golden light flickered.
Mortals would not be able to tell, but the Golden Immortals could see that the fortune of the entire homeworld was churning, rushing out of the skies and blessing Wang Hou.
"The homeworld's fortune blessing!"
A Golden Immortal's expression changed and he exclaimed in shock, "If this person does not die, his future would be unimaginable!"
"Martial Progenitor!"
"He had forged a Dao for martial arts, and if he could continue perfecting it, he might be able to ascend to Sainthood through martial arts!"
The many Golden Immortals were utterly shocked.
The Ten Thousand Swords Daoist cried out, "Quick, think of a way to contact the Six Holies Palace and inform them of this!"
Kaboom!
Suddenly, twelve muffled sounds rang out one after another. Giant bronze statues flew out from the ground, and there were a total of twelve of them.
"The Twelve Bronze Men!"
"The Twelve Bronze Men had suppressed the Dao of the Earth Veins, and it is said that the Six Saints had left a measure upon it. Now that the Twelve Bronze Men have appeared, the Dragon Veins of the homeworld are completely revived and the homeworld's Dao is connected, which means …"
One of the Golden Immortals could not continue halfway through his sentence.
His eyes widened, and the shock in his eyes was even harder to conceal.
While the other Golden Immortals did not say anything, the look on their faces was enough to say … that they understood!
It meant that the Twelve Bronze Men had acknowledged this person and acknowledged the martial arts.
No …
The Twelve Bronze Men were only mystic artifacts and did not possess sentience.
It was the Six Saints who acknowledged him.
And it was the Six Saints who acknowledged the martial arts!
As the Royal Noble's breakthrough resonated with the Dao of the world, the Twelve Bronze Men appeared, and the Spirit Qi of the world on Earth rapidly thickened.
A martial artist who had just ascended to rank-nine who was training with the blade suddenly stopped as a blade will appeared over his body.
He could clearly sense that the Dao of the world seemed to be within his reach.
The cultivation of martial arts seemed to have … become much simpler.
And it was not just him.
At that very moment, there was no telling how many martial artists across the globe were breaking through.
Even divine-tier martial artists were benefiting greatly.
There were martial artists who comprehended the power of wills.
There were martial artists who welcomed the Four Nine Minor Tribulations, and there were even some profound Void-realm experts who reached the Nirvana realm in one go.
After a long time.
The phenomenon in the skies vanished.
The Dao that stretched over tens of thousands of miles vanished.
The Royal Noble descended from the skies and landed outside the capital.
The aura emanating from his entire being was completely different from before.
Perhaps due to his great improvement in ability, he could not control his power perfectly when he landed, and the force that escaped caused the ground beneath his feet to tremble …
Boom!
And then, the ground beneath his feet caved in.
A ruin appeared in front of them.
The light of treasures shone everywhere, and concentrated Spirit Qi of the world rushed out.
Feeling a headache, Wang Hou rubbed his temples and was at a loss for words. "I've always been blessed with fortune, and I'm the kind of person who would pick up treasure even if I jumped off a cliff. Now that I've been blessed with Earth's fortune, my fortune has become even more prosperous … I'll have to be careful when I go out to play in the future. Who knows if I would accidentally create some ruin, Secret Realm, or cavern abode?"
He sighed.
Wang Hou glanced at the ruin.
"It's probably a ruin left by an ancient Void-tier martial artist … there should be some resources and legacies inside. I'll contact Secretary Zhou and have him bring some people here."
He then called Secretary Zhou.
Then, he whipped out his phone and called Jiang He.
There was a faint smile on his face even as he dialed the number.
Before …
He was useless.
Jiang He was the one who shouldered everything.
But now, things were different.
"My ability would not lose out to a Golden Immortal now, and I feel that I could control at least fifty to sixty percent of the Star Map's power …" He was eager to tell Jiang He that he could help out if anything happened in the future.
The legion of the Hundred Races Alliance?
Afraid of nothing!
Be that as it may …
"Apologies, the number you have dialed is not within the service area …"
A mechanical voice spoke from the other side of the phone.
Wang Hou frowned.
A foreboding thought suddenly occurred to him.
…
Meanwhile, Jiang He was bathed in blood as he fought Modolo in close quarters.
Their battlefield had shifted from the void to the Black Demon Star.
There was no telling how many soldiers and average Sky Demons were caught in the shockwaves of their battle, dying or maiming as rivers of blood flowed. Jiang He had done it on purpose. Meanwhile, the Sky Demon champions were heartbroken. They wanted to stop Jiang He, but were powerless to do so, and could only watch as everything unfolded.
Pow!
The two men clashed once more before separating.
Modolo was even worse off compared to Jiang He.
The Demonic Qi armor over his body was riddled with sword scars, and he no longer had the strength to recharge.
There were at least forty sword wounds all over his body.
What was most serious was actually his' Divine Soul '.
"What kind of monster is that brat?"
"Can secret Yuan Spirit techniques be cast without any cost?"
Modolo glanced at his own mind, and found that the strand of Demonic Qi that the Demon Patriarch had left there to protect his spirit was showing signs of fading.
Panting heavily, Modolo stared at Jiang He, who was panting as well. He had to admit that Jiang He was stronger than he was!
Even so …
Was strength useful?
Most prodigies died prematurely, and only those who survived to the end were the victors.
Smiling, Modolo panted heavily and chuckled, "Golden Immortal human, you are very powerful. It would be extremely difficult for me to kill you even if I use all my trump cards … but isn't that your limit?"
He waved his hand.
Over the horizon.
The many Golden Immortals had arrived.
The White Sky God King glanced at Modolo and smiled. "Modolo, you actually failed to take down that Golden Immortal human. It seems that you are nothing much after all."
"Hehe!"
Modolo laughed without saying a word.
Everyone had seen for themselves how powerful that Golden Immortal human was. If the White Sky God King wanted to take advantage of him, he would let him.
Indeed.
Though that was what the White Sky God King was saying, there was a somber look in his eyes.
He turned toward Jiang He, and the aura around his body began to rise.
A sword light appeared in his palm.
The aura of a premium-grade acquired soul treasure emanated.
Jiang He, however, shook his head.
"Sigh!"
He breathed a long sigh.
A chili appeared in his left hand.
A small blue pill appeared in his right palm.
There was a hint of bitterness and helplessness on his face. "I've gotten a little too full of myself!"
Indeed.
He had gotten a little too full of himself.
He had assumed that he would be invincible beneath Grand Luo after ascending up to Golden Immortal, and did not expect that reality would hit him in the head before he could show off his might!
A random Golden Immortal Demon who popped up out of nowhere was evenly matched against him, and he was even panting a little. It was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head, and Jiang He's inflated heart instantly cooled.
"I'm still too weak …"
He breathed a long sigh.
Tilting his head back, he ate the pepper and the blue pill.
