Chapter 162: Ancient Floods Flowing, I Am the Pillar

Chapter 162: Ancient Floods Flowing, I Am the Pillar

The last time Dong3 Huang Star had news about the Daozang was several decades ago. An unknown source spread a rumor that Ji Shuai left behind a "Daozang" at his former residence, awaiting someone with a karmic connection.

This rumor spread like wildfire, yet it was baseless and mysterious.

In the end, it was deemed a despicable trick by the local Cultural Bureau and Propaganda Bureau.

However, several decades later, this news resurfaced, this time widely disseminated by the Ji Clan.

Instantly, an obscure border planet became the hottest center of the Federation.

A large number of martial artists began flooding in, with Taian city, the largest residential city on Dong3 huang star, receiving the most influx of people.

...

At this moment.

Inside the Public Security Bureau of Taian City.

The terminal buzzed with a communication from the City Hall. Zhang Xingyi, who had smoothly secured the position of Deputy Chief thanks to his connections with the Yang Yan Martial Arts Academy, took a deep breath and answered the call.

"Yes..."

"Yes, yes, yes..."

"Right, as you say..."

"We will definitely work hard..."

A moment later, Zhang Xingyi hung up, cursing under his breath.

These damned politicians, wanting to seize this opportunity to vigorously develop Dong3 Huang star's economy while also wanting everything to be peaceful and conflict-free. Do they think the people coming here are ordinary tourists just here for sightseeing?!

Glancing at the dense records of reports on the screen, Zhang Xian City, Dong3 Huang Star

- 123 Main Street, Taian City, Dong3 huang star

- 456 Martial Arts Academy, Dong3 Huang Star

- 789 Market Street, Dong3 huang star

Zhang Xingyi felt a headache coming on.

In recent days, many young martial artists had landed on Dong3 Huang star, wandering around various places, trying to find the Daozang mentioned by the Ji Clan.

Most of the urban areas were still manageable, but places like the lower districts, where gangs gathered, were a complete mess.

Additionally, it seemed that the martial arts academies on Dong3 huang star had all been picked on.

Phrases like "There isn't a single competent martial artist on Dong3 Huang star" had already spread.

As a result, these people had no qualms.

In fact, many of the conflicts that erupted had little to do with the so-called Daozang; most were just verbal disputes.

These young martial artists, being in their prime, often met "old friends" and conflicts over trivial matters were as common as meals.

Some were considerate and would choose uninhabited places for their fights.

Others, or those who didn't care about ordinary people, did as they pleased.

There have already been instances where ordinary citizens were caught in the crossfire and sustained minor injuries.

Martial artists, being individuals with immense physical power, are always strictly regulated by the Federation.

However, these young genius martial artists often come from powerful backgrounds.

When dealing with those who are reasonable, he could smooth things over with a smile, and they would be willing to compensate the injured citizens, turning their injuries into small fortunes.

The most troublesome were those from major clans, who didn't take the local Public Security Bureau and Security Bureau seriously. Even if they reported them, they couldn't do anything about the complex web of relationships behind these young martial artists.}}

Zhang Xingyi sighed.

In the end, Dong3 Huang star's martial power was too weak. With their strength, they couldn't handle these young people in the city.

These young people, though mostly just True seed realm, their True Seeds were more than enough to handle his Divine Journey Realm martial artists.

Now, Zhang Xingyi could only hope that the Security Bureau would quickly obtain the necessary permissions from the central headquarters to blacklist all the troublemakers in the Federation!

Only then could they give those lawless martial artists a bit of a deterrent.

"DeputyChief! There'sanother fight at the airport!"

A subordinate outside the door reported with a bitter smile.

Zhang Xingyi's expression changed, and he asked, "What's the current situation?"

"Those two are currently exercising some restraint, fighting outside the airport."

Hearing this, Zhang Xingyi breathed a sigh of relief. The airport had a lot of foot traffic, and any mishap could easily injure pedestrians. He sighed, "Can we find their information through the Federation's archive database?"

"Ourpermissions are insufficient."

Insufficient permissions... That means they are martial artists from major forces.

Zhang Xingyi's headache returned.

They rushing over now would probably just clean up the mess. The best person to handle these young martial artists would be someone of their own age...

They originally had a perfect candidate, Ji Jingqiu.

With his fame among his peers, Ji Jingqiu could effectively ask these young martial artists to be more restrained.

However, Ji Jingqiu was currently not on Dong3 huang star, but seeking a breakthrough opportunity.

But, if they calculated, he should be back in a couple of days?

...

...

...

Yang yan martial arts academy.

"The city is getting more chaotic recently." Yang Yao frowned.

There were even people who had come to the academy, all young martial artists. If it weren't for Uncle Hong Hu's experience in handling such matters, the academy would have lost some face.

Hong Hu shook his head and said, "Be patient and wait a few more days. The Federation won't let them run amok."

"I don't know how long we'll have to wait. There's been no news from above, and some procedures are still in process..." Zhang Xingshan and Luo Xi, both of whom had elders in the Public Security Bureau and the Security Bureau, sighed bitterly.

Hong Hu maintained a calm expression and said, "Once innocent civilians get seriously injured, the process will speed up."

Yang Yao's lips twitched. It was an old tradition; they only acted when things went wrong.

Zhang Xingshan opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end, he closed it.

In truth, the officials of Tai'an City had considered asking Longhu Dao Field to intervene and help suppress the situation, but before they could even propose the idea, Hong Hu politely declined.

The reason was simple. Longhu Dao Field didn't have the face to make such a request, as it would require the younger martial artists from countless thousand-year-old martial families, major corporations, and Dao Fields across the Federation to give face.

If Longhu Dao Field intervened, it wouldn't achieve anything and might even provoke negative reactions, causing resentment among certain young people.

"Ji Shizhi will be back soon," Hong Hu suddenly said. "Some matters have escalated to the level of Dao Fields, making them difficult to handle. But if they're limited to the same generation, it's much easier to negotiate."

Everyone's spirits lifted.

Calculating the time, Ji Jingu's return was indeed imminent.

For deep space travels like this, outside the Federation's territory, the return time was only an estimate, and there was no precise timing.

"Will Shidi have achieved the Primordial Formless Body on this trip?" Yang Yao asked, his eyes shining with anticipation.

Ji Jingu had yet to forge the Superior Power Body, but he had already reached a level that even the Superior Power Body could only aspire to!

Hong Hu's eyes gleamed with determination as he said, "There's a good chance. It depends on the situation. Even if he doesn't achieve it, the transformation of Reversing Innate will still allow him to progress further."

"Shishu, how powerful is the Primordial Body?"

Upon hearing this question, Hong Hu's gaze drifted, as if lost in thought.

After a long while, he spoke softly:

"There are two crucial thresholds for Mind Form."

"The first is the Mind-Spirit Embryo, the true mastery of the Heaven and Man as One state."

"The second is, after achieving Heaven and Man as One, to reverse the Innate and forge the Primordial Body..."

"So, the Primordial Body, since ancient times, has been considered to have crossed the threshold of Heaven and Man!"

"Heaven and Man, the so-called 'Heaven,' one of its meanings, is the Primordial."

"As for how powerful it truly is..."

Hong Hu shook his head.

"I'm not sure. The Primordial Body of Mind-Spirit and the Primordial Body of True Seed are definitely different. The essence of their lives is too far apart, and in the past ten thousand years, no one in Longhu Dao Field has been able to forge the Primordial Body in the True Seed Realm."

Chapter 69

Tai'an City, West Airport.

"You, with the surname Ao, dare to come here and compete for the inheritance of Ji Shuai?"

"You Yin family dog, you're as foul-mouthed as ever."

Two young men with imposing auras stood several meters apart, their bodies already brimming with unreleased Qi energy, their gazes filled with unconcealed hostility.

Some martial artists nearby recognized them and understood the longstanding grudge between the two families, finding it intriguing enough to stop and watch the impending spectacle.

These two were both Star Martial Artists of the Federation, one from the Yin family and the other from the Ao family, both thousand-year-old martial families with a Heavenly Person residing in their homes.

As for the grudge between the two families...

The Federation had been established for ten thousand years, and the various powers were intricately intertwined, leading to inevitable enmities. When the heirs of some of these powers met, a fight was inevitable.

Yin Yan and Ao Xuanlie moved simultaneously, their auras erupting as they fixed their cold gazes on each other.

They showed some restraint by not starting the fight inside the crowded airport but instead moved to the spacious platform outside.

Ao Xuanlie took the initiative, and as he raised his hand, his Qi energy burst forth, moving with his body. In an instant, he was like a whirlwind, his palm strikes resembling raging waves, one after the other!

In the blink of an eye, the arena was like a terrifying storm, with howling winds pinning Yin Yan in place.

【Sea Devouring Dark Palm】!

Yin Yan let out a cold laugh, his figure unmoving, but his aura growing deeper and more intense, restrained yet powerful. His Qi energy churned within him, howling like thunder!

The next moment, he was like an earth dragon flipping over, a trapped dragon ascending to the heavens. Yin Yan's fist broke through the momentum of the ocean, slamming fiercely towards Ao Xuanlie.

Both of them ignited their True Fire, driving the divine might of their Power Bodies. Behind Ao Xuanlie, the image of raging waves enveloped the heavens and earth, while Yin Yan's Qi energy was thick and dense, resembling a dragon.

As their fists and palms collided, a deafening roar filled the air, accompanied by a sharp howl. The visible Qi energy between their fists surged, seemingly gentle like flowing water, but in reality, it was like raging, unstoppable waves, easily tearing the ground apart, leaving cracks and sending shards of stone flying in all directions!

The dense shower of stones covered an area of over a hundred meters around them, catching the nearby onlookers off guard, forcing them to retreat in panic.

As the onlookers shook their heads, marveling at the fiery exchange between the two, not knowing how to intervene, a dragon's roar and a tiger's growl reverberated through the air, startling the birds above.

A fist broke through the sky, like a towering mountain, inspiring awe in all who witnessed it.

This fist first flattened Ao Xuanlie's raging waves, then, without diminishing in power, effortlessly suppressed the Earth Dragon behind Yin Yan, forcing it back underground.

After breaking through the battle techniques of the two, the fist's energy transformed into a long dragon, with bared fangs and claws, winding its way across the sky, spanning hundreds of meters above.

"Who is this Qi Energy Incarnation?" Ao Xuanlie took several steps back, his face filled with shock. The opponent had only broken his fist intent and had no intention of harming him. Otherwise, with just that single punch, he would have been knocked down.

"Dragon's roar and tiger's growl, Qi Energy like a dragon... Could this be the Dragon Tiger Dojo?" Yin Yan spoke in a low voice. "Is it Shi Xuanzhen who has come?"

The two turned to look, but what mattered now was not the hundreds of meters of fist energy spanning the sky.

In that single punch, they had sensed the meaning of "Ancient Flowing, I Am the Pillar."

With that punch, it was as if a great flood of the ages had gathered, taking the form of a dragon and a tiger, with clouds and winds converging, effortlessly suppressing their Dharma bodies and divine might.

This peerless aura, where one stands at the peak, shook the hearts and minds of the two. They wondered which General-level Martial Artist had arrived in Dong3 Huang Star to compete for the Seven Shuai inheritance alongside them.

Not only them, but all the Martial Artists witnessing this scene were left speechless.

Those who understood the true value of Martial Arts had their eyelids twitching.

Hundreds of meters of fist energy across the sky, and it remained condensed without dispersing?

Who was this person?

Ordinary True Seed Martial Artists could only project their Qi Energy a few dozen meters at most. Even those who had reached the pinnacle of the postnatal realm, with their Qi Energy infused with divine intent, could barely project it nearly a hundred meters before their form would dissipate, leaving only a fraction of their power.

A hundred meters was a limit.

Yet this person's Qi Energy spanned hundreds of meters, remaining condensed and winding, heavy as a deep river.

Just how profound was his foundation in Martial Arts?

Moreover, what was most precious and rare was that within the aura of this punch, there was also a hint of "Ancient Flowing, I Am the Pillar."

All eyes turned as a figure slowly emerged from the airport, his aura deep and profound, making it difficult to gauge his true depth.

His gaze swept across, his glance commanding, looking down upon the four directions. This was an aura only an unparalleled Martial Artist could possess.

Those of the same generation who met his gaze couldn't help but lower their heads slightly, and soon realized that in that fleeting moment, they had been captured by his aura.

The newcomer was none other than Ji Jingqiu, returning home. His name had become a household word among this generation of Martial Artists over the past few months.

But at this moment, they discovered that this peer seemed even stronger than what their records had indicated.

Much stronger.

Recalling the fist energy that had spanned hundreds of meters across the sky, including Ao Xuanlie and Yin Yan, all had solemn expressions, more than willing to give this peer a favor.

After all, if they didn't grant this favor, and Ji Jingqiu truly came knocking on their door... In peer competition, the elders of their families would not intervene."

However, a question lingered... Why was the Qi Energy Incarnation he had displayed that of a dragon and a tiger?

Ao Xuanlie and Yin Yan exchanged glances, heading in opposite directions.

Among the onlookers were not only the younger generation but also many elders from various Dojos, accompanying their juniors in search of opportunities.

They observed the young man returning to his homeland, whispering in awe.

He was not like the stars shining in the night sky.

Instead, he was like the blazing sun at noon, dominating the sky with its boundless might, roaming freely.

This border planet had truly given rise to a brand-new Martial Arts General!

...

...

Soon, the news of Ji Jingqiu's return spread rapidly across half of the Federation.

Numerous factions monitoring the situation were astonished upon receiving the latest intelligence.

Hundreds of meters of True Seed Realm fist energy spanning the sky... Had this child truly reversed the Primordial, attaining the Primordial Body?
