Chapter 122: In This Life, There Will Only Be One Martial Sunlight (7k Two-in-One)
Chapter 122: In This Life, There Will Only Be One Martial Sunlight (7k Two-in-One)
In a courtyard within the White Jade Capital, where vines gently entwined and moss grew on the green stone slabs, a young man with a straight posture and extraordinary demeanor spoke loudly, "Senior Ning, I have come to visit you as per my family's ancestral order."
The elderly man fishing by the pond turned his head and carefully examined the young man from the Mu family.
No one in the Federation dared to underestimate the six major families.
It wasn't just because of Mu Shuai's achievements, but also because of their martial prowess, financial resources, and the contributions they had made to the Federation for tens of thousands of years.
Throughout history, the six major families had never lacked Grandmasters. In the Mu family's history, aside from Mu Shuai, three Supreme Grandmasters had emerged, one of whom still resided in the Federation, serving as one of its cornerstones.
In terms of seniority, Ning Fengyuan would have to address that person as his senior and respectfully serve tea.
[Burning Zither Cook Crane]: What do you mean? [I Have a Spear]: In the last battle, I could sense the soaring battle intent in his eyes! This kid is definitely a battle maniac like us!...
...
They didn't need any team support; they just needed to follow the path laid out for them, and they would reach the pinnacle.
"Even a warrior with a Martial Bone who has reached the sixth limit wouldn't be as strong as you!"
This evaluation left Ji Jingqiu somewhat perplexed.
Once he cultivates the third Divine Anomaly [Ten Thousand Phenomena], the power of the imitated Qi Energy will be no weaker than the original.
"Hehe, the Mu family's invitation... Are the six major families getting involved too? Won't there be people coming from the Heavenly Path as well?"
At the center of the invitation was a swastika symbol, which anyone in the Federation who had taken a few history classes would recognize as the Mu family's emblem.
"Senior Sister..."
Group Name: [A Ray of Hope]
After forming a Superlative Body, the transformed Qi Energy, with the support of the Body, can already leave the body! However, his Body is not yet in its initial stage, so he can only separate it by half a meter.
Mu Junxin was a bit younger, only seventeen years old, and was still in the process of building his Body. This trip to the Four Guardians Star was for him to enter the secular world for cultivation.
[I Have a Spear]: He will definitely go.
...
"Are you going to the Four Guardians Star to enter the secular world for cultivation?"
"Oh? Who?"
A Grandmaster opening the path must derive the Heaven and Earth from the path they open.
Shi Shixiong was a person who trusted others, and he didn't hide anything from him.
Ji Jingqiu rubbed his temples and nodded.
Mu Junxin didn't hesitate and walked straight over.
Mu Junxin's expression froze.
"Moreover, your strength is not just due to the sixth limit's improvement... Compared to other warriors, it's a sheer cliff of strength!"
"What allowed him to enter the Superlative realm is his mental cultivation; he has already entered Profound Meditation."
"The warriors selected by those merchant alliances from the public are also extraordinary. For example, Quan Shiwang is top-notch, and they are all excellent choices. The only one that makes me feel a bit disappointed is Zhang Buzhou from the Divine Might Corporation."
Under a tree, there was a stone table with several stone stools, simple and natural. The sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting a fragmented pattern on the stone table.
"It's a pity; he probably won't have enough time to reach the initial stage."
The familiar pain slowly rose within his body like a tide, but Ji Jingqiu didn't enter Profound Meditation. Instead, he looked towards the distance.
He was told that as long as he could reverse Innate, he would have the chance to cultivate the fourth Divine Anomaly. Additionally, the fourth Divine Anomaly refers to the fact that the Dao Body can accommodate a maximum of four Divine Anomalies, not just four.
"This has nothing to do with the Mu family's reputation. This person doesn't seem to like socializing. As far as I know, he hasn't accepted any invitations from anyone during this time." Mu Junxin shrugged.
He possessed the Wisdom Light, a martial arts genius, and inadvertently became the strongest among those with a pre-power body in ten thousand years. Why couldn't he envision becoming the strongest in the Body realm? Based on his knowledge of web literature from his previous life.
Ji Jingqiu slowly clenched his fist, feeling the Primordial Energy within his body continuously transforming on its own.
The predecessors had developed ten Divine Anomalies for the younger generation to choose from. By adjusting the materials and the order of principles, they could freely combine Divine Anomalies starting from the second one.
Mu Junxin understood the hidden meaning in Senior Ning's words but didn't agree.
Purple Micro Capital.
Dojo, Academy, Mega Enterprise, Martial Arts Clan—these were the major powers in the Federation.
Mu Junxin spoke slowly.
The selected core Dao Bodies of each power were not only strong but also had a complete and orderly heritage.
Their strength often came from a combination of personal opportunities, timing, and talent, which couldn't be replicated.
An excited young girl rushed into the house.
The secretary behind her said, "Director Zhang, are you going to accept the Mu family's invitation?"
Qi Energy surged around his body, and a clang of sword sounds seemed to ring out, leaving sword marks on the ground around the youth.
[Burning Zither Cook Crane]: Speaking of which, is Ji Jingqiu part of our dojo lineage or not?
At this point, Professor Zuo also mentioned to him—
"It's over."
Ning Fengyuan nodded slightly and suddenly said, "This child has just started forming his Body, and he's in the same realm as you. Why don't you find an excuse to spar with him?"
Ji Jingqiu took the invitation letter, examined it briefly, and it could be said to be concise and clear. It contained an address and a simple invitation, signed by Mu Junxin.
The direct consequence of the Federation's vast size was the proliferation of various powers.
Ji Jingqiu thought to himself.
"You must go!" Professor Zuo nodded, "This banquet will surely gather many warriors. You can compete with your peers, hone your martial arts, and strengthen your Heartcurrent!"
Ji Jingqiu's eyes sparkled with excitement, and he asked eagerly, "Who will be there?"
"In the early stages of the dojo's formation, it does have an advantage. However, considering the overall future prospects of martial arts, it's not enough to enter the Superlative realm."
"Hmm." Ning Fengyuan's expression was gentle, and he got up and walked to the stone table in the center of the courtyard. "Have a seat."
Ning Fengyuan was not surprised by this answer.
But who could have guessed that the strongest one was not in the realm of physique but in the realm of mental cultivation!
"The strongest one is not in the realm of physique but in the realm of mental cultivation?"
!"
Inheritance.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
Humans are social creatures, often gravitating towards similar factions during conflicts.
The man with the sword-like eyebrows shook his head, "I won't go. I'm more concerned about where those underground cult rats are hiding."
During this period, he received invitations daily, either from companies or unknown Martial Warriors, filling up an entire box.
The Formless Dao Body indeed had immense potential, with three innate divine anomalies, like an endless treasure trove. But could he truly unlock its full potential alone? Yes, he could.
"Senior Sister Yue..."
Mu Juncheng's eyes flashed, "I'd also like to ask Senior about the top geniuses of the Four Guardians Star."
For instance, the Dragon Tiger Dojo, after accumulating for countless years, had seen the rise of generations of Martial Geniuses. Their exploration of the Dragon Tiger Body had reached its pinnacle, making further progress extremely challenging.
"Speaking of which, there are indeed many genius Martial Warriors in this generation." Professor Zuo seemed slightly distracted.
"Right." Ning Fengyuan seemed to remember something, smiling with a hint of playfulness, "Little Mu, before you left, did your elders set any goals for you?"
Ji Jingqiu nodded, as he had planned to do the same.
"That person... I heard that he hasn't accepted any invitations recently. I thought he was a pure Martial Daoist, but if he attends this time, well, I can't say." Someone mocked.
"Who has been invited?" Ning Fengyuan was intrigued, as sitting here day after day could be enlivened by witnessing the competition among these youngsters.
Ge Hong lowered his voice, more excited than Ji Jingqiu who had received the invitation. Those unaware might think he had received the invitation himself.
Professor Zuo clicked his tongue, "Dojo, Academy, Company, and even Martial Clans, this generation is truly a gathering of elites. For instance, among the top five Dojos..."
Mu Juncheng sighed, "As a junior, I've already formed a Superlative Body in my clan. I'm afraid I can't compete fairly with that person."
Of course, it was slightly weaker in terms of power and mystery.
Seeing the temporary invitation, Professor Zuo also became interested. He was from the Sun and Moon Corporation under the Qin family and had heard much about the Mu family.
— The Dharmic Body Embryo is the foundation of all Superlative Bodies. In comparison, the Formless Dao Body has almost no choice.
"In the past, these would be considered outstanding talents. This generation is indeed the golden age prophesied by General Ji, with rising talents and fierce competition!"
Mu Juncheng smiled, but with a hint of helplessness, "I'm not sure if we can get him to come."
The morning light pierced through the shallow and deep clouds, and the grand sunlight slowly descended upon the city.
As for whether he had achieved the Small Achievement, he didn't really care.
Mu Juncheng couldn't help but clap and sigh, "It's truly an age of great competition. It's an honor for me to live in the same era as these powerful enemies. But, Senior, have you forgotten someone?"
At this point, Professor Zuo was quite excited.
The blood energy surged like a tide, vast and powerful.
This generation of the Mu family produced two Martial Geniuses: Mu Junxin and the one before him, Mu Juncheng.
Ji Jingqiu sat cross-legged in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, regulating his breath.
【Standing Out Like a Crane Among Chickens】: Why go to such lengths? Why? Tomorrow's banquet will surely attract attendees from other factions. As we belong to the same Dojo faction, we must unite and support each other.
This extreme focus can be replicated, independent of opportunity and timing. As long as one's talent meets the standard, they can reach the theoretical limit.
His grandfather had specifically instructed him to be kind and make many friends, which he had always followed. So, he declined all invitations.
"What about Ji Jingqiu?"
Hearing about this Dao Body, Mu Juncheng's expression changed slightly, feeling a sense of loss.
This is the difference between well-ordered inheritances.
【Sword Heart Clarity】: The Dragon Tiger Dojo has always been known for its strict rules. Their disciples have already established their Dao Bodies, and based on the current situation, Ji Jingqiu will likely participate in the Great Martial Arts Tournament under the Stellar Corporation's name.
Therefore, Ji Jingqiu felt awkward and went to find Lou Qinglan to ask about the additional payment—after all, the company was paying.
Mu Juncheng was slightly taken aback and shook his head, "No, but as a junior of the Mu family, I must at least bring back the title of 'Proud Sun' to uphold our ancestors' reputation."
Regarding the Dragon Tiger Body, they had long mastered many methods of its formation, perhaps the fastest, the most perfect, or the most extreme...
【Sword Heart Clarity】: If I remember correctly... He doesn't seem to have accepted any invitations. I'm not sure if he will attend.
...
The young man, who had been cultivating indoors, sensed something and slowly opened his eyes. His appearance was ordinary, but his eyebrows were exceptionally thick, like two sharp blades. His entire being resembled a precious sword sheathed.
Mu Juncheng nodded, "I've also heard about him, but when it comes to the core heritage of the Dragon Tiger Dojo, no one can find fault with it."
If one doesn't cross boundaries in battle, can they still be called a genius?
"Are you planning to host a banquet for the Four Guardians Star?" Ning Fengyuan suddenly asked.
This Dao Body was extraordinary, perhaps not inferior to the Dragon Tiger Body, but...
From six to eight o'clock was his personal quiet meditation time. During this period, he would suspend his cultivation and enjoy the rare tranquility.
Some mocked, while others supported.
The Formless Dao Body was evaluated as having great potential but not worth the effort.
The former, a few years older, had already formed a Superlative Body, reversing his innate nature and entering the Divine Roaming Realm. He roamed within the Federation, attempting to capture the divine opportunities of heaven and earth.
Another night was about to dawn.
Ji Jingqiu circulated the Primordial Energy through the Unity Art, and the force flowed layer by layer, like a rushing river within his body, sounding like thunder! Soon after.
The core heritage of other top-tier factions was more or less the same.
Yue Yourong looked at the man, "Senior Brother Qin, are you going to the banquet?"
Zhang Buzhou, from the Divine Might Corporation, had a compatibility rate of over 99.3% with the Dragon Tiger Body, as revealed by the diagnostic equipment!
According to Ning Fengyuan's knowledge—
The Dragon Tiger Dojo had produced countless geniuses over the millennia. It could be said that they had "played with the true seed realm."
Only by being the strongest in every realm can one become the strongest in the world! The clock struck eight.
Is this the late Wood Elder's younger clan member? "Brother Ji! An invitation from the Mu family! You have to go this time, right?"
Ning Fengyuan's smile grew more mischievous, and he said with a low laugh, "Has your family elder or that Lu from the military told you that only one Sun Blaze is allowed in this generation?"
"Unfortunately, this kid is cultivating the Formless Dao Body."
This is also why many Superior Bodies of Power may produce a strong individual in one generation but struggle to continue the legacy.
"Your dojo has already evolved the changes of the sun and moon. Congratulations, your inner world is about to be formed!"
"Besides Primordial Palace, no other power on the Heavenly Path cultivates new talents. And given their nature, it's unlikely they would."
As he opened his eyes...
During this period, due to Ji Jingqiu's self-discipline and diligence, the entire Deep Dive Studio had been working overtime, busy until three or four in the morning every day.
So far, the Qi Energy throughout his body was close to being completely transformed into Primordial Energy, and once his Body Formation progress reached 30%, the transformation would be complete.
Additionally, the primary material for the first layer of Divine Ability, Dharmic Body Embryo, was already on its way and would arrive tomorrow, ensuring a seamless transition.
Ning Fengyuan smiled, "What do you think of this kid? Which layer would you place him in?"
...
Professor Zuo, the leader, stretched lazily, still full of energy despite having slept only a few hours. This was thanks to Ji Jingqiu's Meditation Seal.
...
"Brother Ji!"
...
"By the way, will the one from the eighth layer be going?"
Ge Hong strode in from outside, his face glowing with excitement as he held up a deep blue invitation.
The West Forest Business Alliance personally reached out to negotiate a trade with Dragon Tiger Dojo, offering to exchange Body Formation quotas, but Dragon Tiger Dojo refused, citing the involvement of their core lineage.
Ning Fengyuan nodded, "This child is one of the top dark horses of this generation. He chose the Pure Yang Body as a fallback and still has a 93% compatibility rate, which is still a Superior level."
Suddenly, a woman in the center of the room opened her eyes, interrupting their conversation.
The middle-aged man nodded in satisfaction, "Very good. You must complete the Body Formation within two months and strive to reverse Innate. During the qualification battle, trample the Daoist from Dragon Tiger Dojo underfoot! Let them know what a true genius is!"
Just as dojos emphasize exchange and martial tournaments, the various academies in the Federation also hold regular exchange meetings to share knowledge and promote mutual progress.
According to Professor Zuo, Ji Jingqiu's speed in Body Formation was only inferior to the top disciples of the major powers, which was an incredible achievement.
Mu Juncheng asked cautiously, "Superior and outstanding?"
The middle-aged man replied indifferently, "It's just a child imitating an adult's banquet. The goal is the qualification battle; everything else must take a back seat!"
After all, it's better to have fewer but equal.
Generations of warriors have dug deep into the core Body of Power, exploring this treasure trove to its limits.
His grandfather's words before his departure were true—warriors must have the confidence to stand alone!
"As far as we know, the Stellar Group has also received an invitation."
"Understood."
"Is this visit just a courtesy call?" he teased.
...
Ning Fengyuan smiled, and at the Grandmaster realm, he could already perceive others' Heartcurrent. He could tell that this young man's words were sincere.
Ning Fengyuan smiled faintly, "He can enter the Superlative level."
"Oh?" Ning Fengyuan's interest was piqued upon hearing this, "Not even giving face to the Mu family? If that's the case, I'll have to reconsider this young man's spirit."
"Additionally, there are also those few thousand-year-old martial arts families that are second only to the six major clans..."
Ning Fengyuan smiled, "I received much guidance from Mu's predecessor years ago, and with the help of the Demonic Origin Divine Kingdom in recent years, I've also achieved some success."
"Hmm, then it must be for him." Someone suddenly laughed, "In the past half a month, countless people have sent him invitations, but he's rejected them all, except for the Stellar Group's gathering. If he comes this time, it'll be quite a sight to see."
The staff of Deep Dive Studio entered one after another.
For example, a thousand years ago, a master who cultivated the Formless Dao Body brought this once-obscure body of power into the spotlight. But after that, there hasn't been a second person who could match his achievements.
Thanks to the White Jade Capital group, his Heartcurrent had almost doubled, allowing him to push the progress of the Formless Dao Body to 28.3% in just one short week.
Beside him, a swordsman smiled and said, "What Sister Yue said is absolutely right! Fellow martial artists, we should have broader minds.
Not to mention, when he traveled the Heavenly Path, he had also received help from the third ancestor of the Mu family.
Ning Fengyuan suddenly shook his head, seemingly dissatisfied with this body of power,
Martial artists ultimately seek superiority through actual combat.
Just as everyone was preparing for the day's Body Formation procedures...
...
However, when it came to dividing the benefits, the Federation instantly fragmented, and each family had its own "bitterness."
Ji Jingqiu even sought clarification from Shi Xuan, his senior brother.
[Burning the Zither, Boiling the Crane]: Hmm, I hope your actual combat matches your bold words.
Ji Jingqiu knew this was very likely due to the effects of Vile Toxin Syndrome, but he didn't say anything.
No matter how good the paper strength and evaluations are, they can't compare to real skills.
Mu Juncheng's smile was radiant, and his eyes shone with a blazing light, indicating his sincerity.
After cultivating this body of power, to maintain martial progress, one must not break their body until reaching the Master realm.
The young man standing in the center of the room had a physique as if forged from metal, and he was using the Heartcurrent Technique to sculpt the Pure Yang Body's principles within his body.
However, Professor Zuo didn't seem to mind this at all; instead, he was full of energy every day, even stating that the biggest gain from this trip was not the Stellar Group's commission but the real-time access to and monitoring of Ji Jingqiu's physique data.
Then, Professor Zuo shrugged, "Huge potential means no previous records to refer to, so we'll have to figure it out ourselves."
"Of course, it's Ji Jingqiu, who left his mark on the eighth layer," Mu Juncheng said with a smile.
"Our family's ancestor said that a great era is about to begin, and we, as members of the Mu family, must not fall behind. We need to strive to forge a path for the world. For this 'Descent' quota, every member of the Mu family must compete for it themselves."
Mu Juncheng's pupils suddenly constricted, and after a moment of contemplation, he asked, "Is it because of the embryonic state of the dojo?"
Ji Jingqiu stood up and, while Professor Zuo and the others hadn't arrived yet, he began to demonstrate the Primordial Energy in the training room.
"We invited many, but among the ones mentioned by the Senior, only about half are likely to come. Some of them are at critical junctures in their breakthroughs, or they've already formed their bodies of power and are seeking to reverse the innate."
Her eyes were deep and dark, as if they held a gateway to another world, drawing people in unconsciously.
As the faint golden light spread into her field of vision and gradually filled her pupils, the fatigue and restlessness from her recent intense cultivation seemed to dissipate, and the pain within her body seemed to lessen.
Just like the Dragon Tiger Body, which initially only had two layers of divine abilities, but with the cultivation of the Dragon Tiger Dojo, it is said that the fourth layer of divine abilities is about to emerge.
The clouds parted, revealing the sun.
Since Ji Jingqiu's talent had been recognized, various families had studied him, and they all agreed that his physique was unparalleled before his body of power was formed.
"Additionally, the martial arts students selected by the Federation's academies have also produced many promising talents. For example, Yue Yourong from the Sea Martial Association is a female warrior who is not inferior to her male counterparts and has exceptional talent in mind cultivation."
Ning Fengyuan shook his head. "Compared to those martial artists who struggle with even the Heart Realm, the embryonic state of the dojo is indeed an exceptional talent. But among these young people, who isn't a potential master?"
[I Have a Spear]: Haha, not bad, 47%, good enough to beat you.
Ji Jingqiu curiously asked about the aspects in which they were faster than him. Professor Zuo spread his hands and said two words that left Ji Jingqiu speechless:
"What... What does this have to do with whether or not I received an invitation?" The man from earlier became angry, "He rejected everyone, but he accepted the Mu family's invitation. Isn't that just following the trend...?"
"Brother! Second Brother!"
The middle-aged man standing outside the room, observing the situation within, asked without turning his head, "How much longer will it take for Zhang Buzhou to advance the Pure Yang Body to Great Achievement?"
As the words fell, they sounded like thunder in Mu Juncheng's ears, and he exclaimed in shock:
A nearby researcher quickly replied, "With Zhang Buzhou's speed, it will only take one or two weeks!"
[Burning the Zither and Boiling the Crane]: What about this time?
Yue Yourong calmly said, "I wouldn't accept those invitations either. They have no meaning. But if the Mu family invites me, I will definitely go, because everyone there is my enemy."
The Primordial Energy's most distinctive feature is its tracelessness and unpredictability. Additionally, it can imitate any Qi Energy it comes into contact with.
The old man slowly said, "This generation has produced many promising talents. The Daoists from several dojos in Taiwei City are all excellent, such as Yin Wushuang, Bian Rong, and a few others, who can be considered among the superlative choices."
When facing the Soul Realm, the Federation acts as a whole.
Mysterious Female Tower, Top Floor.
Mu Juncheng sighed, "I didn't want to be so flashy, but that Lieutenant General insisted that I do this, saying it's a good opportunity to gather this generation's geniuses."
...
This is what they value most! "Before you, the academic world had already concluded the upper limit of the body before the formation of power. But your appearance has overturned our conclusions."
[I Have a Spear]: Is there anyone who hasn't received an invitation? [Burning the Zither and Boiling the Crane]: Everyone has received them. How is your Mystic Heaven Body coming along? I hope it's strong enough.
Born in hell and suffering from Vile Toxin Syndrome since childhood...? Mu Juncheng suddenly felt like taking Ji Jingqiu back to the Mu family's old residence to try the visualization chart of Chen Haisheng, who cultivates by crossing tribulations.
"Haha, what's the big deal? You're acting like you're above it all, but the Mu family didn't even send you an invitation, did they?" someone teased.
As one of the Four Guardians Stars, he not only cultivates using Hela's origin but also has the responsibility of scoring the talented martial artists on the Four Guardians Stars, especially with the Federation's "Descent Plan" about to begin.
But this time, it's not possible...
"Even the Pure Yang Body is better than the Formless Body. This path has too few predecessors, and it's too vague. After he forms his body of power, he might be surpassed by others in the same realm during battles."
The stage of Small Achievement is not far away.
Dojo, academy, mega enterprise, clan, and even the forces on the Heavenly Path are all involved.
Unlike the other major families, the Mu family's cultivation is divided into secular and ascetic paths.
Ning Fengyuan also sighed, "I heard from Chen Haisheng that this child was born in hell and suffered from Vile Toxin Syndrome since childhood. He endured until he was sixteen years old. With this experience and certain metamorphoses, it's reasonable for him to enter Profound Meditation."
Mu Juncheng, seeing this scene, felt a slight tremor in his heart. He looked up and saw a towering ancient tree with lush branches and leaves, blocking most of the sunlight. The tree trunk was covered in carvings, some resembling height measurements, and others like fist and sword marks, seemingly left by martial artists...
With such great potential, why is it still a loss?
The crowd spoke in low voices.
The room seemed enveloped in scorching heat, and the temperature kept rising, making it difficult to even breathe, like being in a steam room.
As Ning Fengyuan recounted the martial geniuses, he couldn't help but sigh.
Even though Ning Fengyuan had mentioned many martial geniuses with sun-blazing talent, he still spoke lightly, his tone filled with pride and confidence.
A small-scale martial arts discussion and exchange gathering began.
If it weren't for Ji Jingqiu helping everyone enter deep sleep with the Meditation Seal, he feared they wouldn't be able to endure.
"Little sister, didn't I tell you not to come into my cultivation room?" The young man looked helpless.
"Second Brother, it's the Mu family's invitation!" The girl waved the invitation letter excitedly, her eyes shining with excitement, "This time, that kid named Ji will definitely go!"
Upon hearing these words, the young man's eyebrows furrowed in surprise!
I wanted to add more today... but after staying up all night, I was dazed during the day, and the update is much later than usual... So, I combined two chapters.
