Chapter 128: Unprecedented Advancement!
Chapter 128: Unprecedented Advancement!
Wuuuu!
In the land of mountains, a demonic wind howled.
Thick demonic energy swirled and coiled in the air, almost condensing into a black substance.
The sky was obscured, darkening the mountains and blocking out the light.
Hiss! Just then, the mountains trembled, and a massive black-scaled python, nearly the size of the mountains themselves, slowly emerged from the mountain range.
The dense demonic energy and killing intent rose almost to the heavens, stirring up the surroundings.
For a moment, all the demons held their breath, not daring to make a sound.
"Has Cangyuan not ascended yet?" the python suddenly asked.
On a nearby mountain peak, a lean golden-furred old monkey knelt with its head bowed, and said loudly, "Reporting to the Holy Envoy, Wei Wujie from Qingzhou is watching too closely. Dragon Sovereign Cangyuan has not found a suitable opportunity to ascend yet."
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in this realm froze.
The old monkey began to sweat profusely, and its body trembled involuntarily.
Then, it felt a shadow covering its head.
Immediately, a foul-smelling hot air accompanied by a cold voice echoed above its head.
"I'll give you half a month. If Cangyuan still hasn't ascended by then, I'll send all of you to Qingzhou to exchange your lives for Cangyuan's ascension!"
A pressure as heavy as a collapsing sky descended.
The old monkey's body trembled, struggling to remain standing under the overwhelming pressure.
"Yes, we will obey the Holy Envoy's command!"
It responded loudly.
The shadow dissipated, but the old monkey still dared not raise its head.
It only did so when the surrounding mountains began to echo with other sounds, as if they had come back to life.
The giant python had disappeared without a trace, but the trail it left in the mountains was still clearly visible.
The old monkey stared at the trail, momentarily dazed.
It only snapped out of its daze when various demons gathered around it.
"Lord Monkey, what should we do now?"
A demon wolf, one of the top Demon Sage Beasts, asked the old monkey.
"Several Demon Sage Beasts have gone to Yong'an Prefecture in Qingzhou, but there has been no response. The Holy Envoy is running out of patience."
The old monkey's face turned grave as it slowly spoke, then scanned the surroundings.
All the demons before it were top-tier Demon Sage Beasts, just a step away from ascending to the Great Sage, like Dragon Sovereign Cangyuan.
Unfortunately, one step was as good as a thousand miles. Not to mention that Dragon Sovereign Cangyuan had the True Dragon bloodline, and upon ascending to the Great Sage, he would transform into a true dragon, an existence beyond their reach.
Hearing the old monkey's response, the other demons fell silent.
They, as Demon Sage Beasts, had also heard the Holy Envoy's words.
If they couldn't help Dragon Sovereign Cangyuan ascend within half a month, they would have to invade Great Jin's Qingzhou to create an opportunity for his ascension.
"Let's prepare. Qingzhou is right next to our Demon Den, and if we don't make a big enough commotion, Wei Wujie won't show himself."
After a brief silence, the old monkey spoke up.
The other demons nodded silently and began to leave the mountain peak.
Soon, only the old monkey remained.
It stared at the trail left by the python in the mountains, speechless.
Golden essence energy swirled around.
Qin Zheng could feel this essence energy moving as if it were an extension of his own body, responding to his will.
Moreover, within this essence energy, he could sense the implication of indestructibility.
By opening the seven life wheels and connecting the Heaven-Earth Bridge, the unity of essence, energy, and spirit gave birth to Qin Zheng's own essence energy!
"Congratulations to Lord Qin on breaking through to the Great Grandmaster realm!"
Suddenly, Pei Qing's voice resonated.
"Congratulations to Lord Qin on breaking through to the Great Grandmaster realm!"
The voices echoed from all directions.
These voices snapped Qin Zheng's attention back from his essence energy.
The tent had been blown away by the heavenly energy long ago, leaving no trace.
A smile appeared on Qin Zheng's face as he looked around at the Geng Word Camp soldiers and nodded, "Go and rest."
"Yes!"
At his words, the Demon Slayer Patrol officers, startled awake by Qin Zheng's breakthrough, began to leave.
Whether they could calm their shaken hearts and sleep again was unknown.
Qin Zheng was now alone.
Only a few officers on duty remained, occasionally glancing at him with curiosity.
Pei Qing also stayed, standing in place, staring at Qin Zheng.
"Why, General Pei, aren't you going to sleep?"
Qin Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly and asked with a smile.
Having just broken through, he was in a good mood.
Although he hadn't fully comprehended his current strength, he was certain he could easily defeat his pre-ascension self.
Not to mention, his power should have broken through to a new level!
And this was not Qin Zheng's limit yet!
With the Nine Transform Golden Body Technique perfected, his physical body significantly enhanced, he could support further advancement in the Lion Elephant Wisdom Dharma.
Only when the Lion Elephant Wisdom Dharma reached its limit could he consider himself at his current peak!
This would be his strongest state upon entering the Great Grandmaster realm!
However, Qin Zheng was in no rush to improve immediately.
At least, he needed to send Pei Qing away first before finding another tent.
Hearing Qin Zheng's teasing, Pei Qing instantly snapped out of his daze.
He shook his head and then nodded, speaking up, "The incident that occurred in the Qin Yang Prefecture tonight has already started spreading outside Yong'an Prefecture."
"But it hasn't caused any ripples, and the calm is a bit unusual, making me feel uneasy."
At this point, he smiled and said, "Fortunately, it's Qin Sir who has come to Yong'an Prefecture."
"With Qin Sir's combat strength, now promoted to the Grand Master Realm, his power has skyrocketed. I believe it's enough to handle the upcoming situation."
Qin Zheng stood up, walked over to Pei Qing in the moonlight, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Rest assured, go and rest. Only then can you fully cope with the crisis that may arise at any time."
"Good!"
Qin Zheng's words seemed to give him immense strength.
Pei Qing nodded solemnly and turned to leave without any hesitation.
Qin Zheng then headed towards the tent of the General of the Geng Word Camp.
His own tent had been flipped over by the commotion of the breakthrough, so he could only borrow this one temporarily.
Entering the tent and returning to his seat, Qin Zheng extended his hand, and with a thought, a pure golden essence energy slowly rose from his palm.
This was the essence energy, a unique feature of the Grand Master Realm!
At this moment, Qin Zheng also fully understood the purpose of essence energy.
Essence energy gathered beneath his feet, allowing him to walk on water as if it were solid ground.
Essence energy condensed into a weapon's shadow, expanding the attack range and significantly enhancing the attack power.
But the wonders of essence energy didn't stop there!
Augmentation!
The core function of essence energy was augmentation!
This essence energy, formed from the convergence of heavenly-earth qi, mental power, and life essence, could provide a comprehensive augmentation to a Grand Master!
It wasn't limited to strength but also enhanced speed, perception, mental response, and more!
One could say that essence energy was like an amplifier, capable of strengthening all the abilities of a Grand Master accordingly!
Furthermore, depending on the internal cultivation method of each martial artist, essence energy would also undergo corresponding changes.
For example, if one cultivated a powerful sword technique, the essence energy would become sharp.
If one cultivated a life-prolonging internal skill, the essence energy would become gentle.
In Qin Zheng's case, as he cultivated the Nine Transform Golden Body Technique, which focused on physical body enhancement, his essence energy possessed characteristics like physical body strengthening and healing injuries!
And this was the very characteristic that Qin Zheng needed the most!
He clenched his fist, bringing his fingers together.
Qin Zheng began to sense the various changes in his physique after the breakthrough!
The transformation of the five senses and the essence energy itself need not be mentioned.
The most crucial aspect, and what Qin Zheng cared about the most, was the extent of the transformation his strength had undergone!
He calmed down and contemplated his strength, comparing it to before the breakthrough.
Twelve thousand jin!
After a few breaths, Qin Zheng's mind arrived at a number.
After breaking through to the Grand Master Realm, his strength had skyrocketed to twelve thousand jin!
This was just the increase in strength after breaking through, not including the subsequent improvements from the Lion Elephant Wisdom Dharma and the augmentation from essence energy!
Merely by crossing the realm, Qin Zheng's strength had surged from seven thousand jin to twelve thousand jin!
A full five thousand jin of strength!
This tremendous increase once again broke Qin Zheng's record for strength improvement in his martial arts journey!
And this was far from the current limit!
Qin Zheng's eyes shone brightly, and without hesitation, he silently recited, "Enhance Martial Arts - Lion Elephant Wisdom Dharma!"
In his sea of consciousness, the merit scroll trembled, deducting one jin of merit.
Thus, Qin Zheng continued to improve.
One thousand jin, two thousand jin, three thousand jin, five thousand jin, ten thousand jin, fifteen thousand jin...
After an unknown period of enhancement, Qin Zheng felt that familiar sense of reaching his limit.
He turned his mental gaze towards the merit scroll.
Qin Zheng
Lifespan: 500 (17)
Martial Arts: Lion Elephant Wisdom Dharma (98th Layer), Tibetan Mind Awareness Scripture (Great Accomplishment)
Merit: 128 jin, 4 liang, 7 qian
Current Martial Art: Lion Elephant Wisdom Dharma, can be enhanced, requires 1 jin of merit, enhance?
Current Martial Art: Tibetan Mind Awareness Scripture, can be enhanced, requires 1000 jin of merit, enhance?
Discovered Martial Art.
After being promoted to the Grand Master Realm, his lifespan increased to 500 years.
The previous enhancement had brought the Lion Elephant Wisdom Dharma to the 98th layer.
A full 30 layers of improvement!
This was equivalent to an increase of 30,000 jin of strength!
Therefore, Qin Zheng's current strength, without even activating essence energy, had already reached a staggering 150,000 jin!
More than double his strength before the promotion!
He had previously tested it, and against ordinary Grand Masters, 30,000 jin of strength was enough to explode them alive!
And this current 150,000 jin of strength could easily crush an average Grand Master!
Like a raging mad dragon, this powerful strength surged through his pale golden muscles and bones.
Qin Zheng immediately activated his essence energy to augment his strength!
