Chapter 188: Great Jin Shakes! The Martial Sage's Demise (First Update)
Chapter 188: Great Jin Shakes! The Martial Sage's Demise (First Update)
Qingzhou, Yongyuan Prefecture.
Linyuan City.
At this moment, the city was adorned with colorful lights, and the entire city was in celebration!
The sound of firecrackers and laughter was almost continuous, echoing endlessly!
Qingzhou has given birth to its own National Guardian Martial Saint!
A hundred years later, the Great Jin's nineteenth Martial Saint reappeared, and right here in Linyuan City!
Led by the citizens, the city was filled with excitement!
And for this occasion, the Commander's Mansion did not stop the celebration, and many Military Commanders even stepped out to join the citizens in their joy.
Everyone was celebrating this significant day that would be etched into the history of Great Jin.
At this moment, within the Commander's Mansion.
Qin Zheng turned to Wei Wujie and the others, a smile appearing on his face.
"Master."
He slowly spoke.
Wei Wujie's face turned red with joy.
"Good, good, good!"
"You've just broken through, so it's best to stabilize your realm as soon as possible!"
"After your realm stabilizes, we'll celebrate together!"
Wei Wujie quickly replied.
He seemed concerned about the stability of Qin Zheng's realm, as he had just broken through and had already slain several Demon Clan Great Sages.
"No problem."
Qin Zheng shook his head, and his gaze then fell on Su Zimo and the others behind Wei Wujie.
Unlike before, their faces now carried a hint of restraint and reverence.
Qin Zheng sighed softly in his heart and didn't say much more.
Next, in the council hall, he explained some crucial points about Martial Path cultivation to everyone.
Having achieved the Martial Saint realm, his understanding of cultivation had naturally deepened, but he concealed the matter of 'Spirit Roots'.
Half a day later, Qin Zheng arrived at a new courtyard.
The quiet room in his original courtyard had been damaged by the commotion during his breakthrough.
Inside the quiet room.
Qin Zheng closed his eyes, sat cross-legged, and carefully recalled the details of his breakthrough.
Then, using internal vision, he examined his body and looked at the Primordial Spirit sitting in the Spirit Mansion.
This Primordial Spirit, condensed from his entire essence, qi, and spirit, glowed with golden light and bore his likeness.
In its hand, it held a jade scepter that was smooth and radiant.
Qin Zheng examined the jade scepter, and with a thought, he wanted to control the Primordial Spirit to manipulate the jade scepter.
But as soon as this thought arose, a sense of resistance emerged within the Primordial Spirit.
It seemed that controlling the jade scepter would place a tremendous burden and harm the Primordial Spirit.
Qin Zheng immediately abandoned this idea, but he could still manipulate it!
After obtaining the Primordial Limitless Seal, the status of this jade scepter in Qin Zheng's heart had skyrocketed, second only to the Virtue Scroll!
After all, based on his speculations, this object might be related to that person!
Thinking of this, Qin Zheng shook his head and dismissed the thought.
Then, he directed a wisp of his spirit into his Heart Sea, gazing at the Virtue Scroll.
Qin Zheng
Lifespan: 3000 (17)
Martial Skills: Primordial Limitless Seal (Beginner), True Dragon Unextinguishable Body (Fifth Acupoint).
Virtue: 18,000 taels
Current Martial Skill: Primordial Limitless Seal, can be upgraded, requires 3,000 taels of virtue. Do you wish to upgrade?
Current Cultivation Method: True Dragon Unextinguishable Body, can be upgraded, requires 3,000 taels of virtue. Do you wish to upgrade?
Discovery.
Upon breaking through to the Martial Saint realm, his lifespan surged to three thousand years!
And by slaying three incomplete Demon Clan Great Sages, he had gained nearly twenty thousand taels of virtue!
At this moment, seeing such abundant virtue, even though Qin Zheng had anticipated it, his heart was filled with intense joy.
Three incomplete Demon Clan Great Sages had provided such a vast amount of virtue!
Imagine how much virtue he would gain when he ventured out of Great Jin and conquered demon dens one after another!
With this thought, Qin Zheng smiled lightly, then without hesitation, he silently spoke, "Upgrade Martial Skill: Primordial Limitless Seal!"
Hum!
The Virtue Scroll trembled slightly, and three thousand taels of virtue were deducted.
Immediately, a mystic power surged out, flowing through his entire body before infusing into the Primordial Spirit.
Crack!
A star-like acupoint suddenly lit up.
The Primordial Spirit and the physical body shone in unison.
In an instant, Qin Zheng felt his Primordial Spirit strengthening and ascending once more!
Current Martial Skill: Primordial Limitless Seal, can be upgraded, requires 3,000 taels of virtue. Do you wish to upgrade?
"Upgrade!"
Current Martial Skill: Primordial Limitless Seal, can be upgraded, requires 3,000 taels of virtue. Do you wish to upgrade?
"Upgrade!"
Current Martial Skill: Primordial Limitless Seal, can be upgraded, requires 3,000 taels of virtue. Do you wish to upgrade?
Insufficient virtue, cannot upgrade!
Seeing the prompt from the Virtue Scroll, Qin Zheng stopped.
And within the Spirit Mansion, six acupoints on the Primordial Spirit shone like stars, emitting dazzling radiance!
Great Jin, Imperial Capital.
Ta Wu Academy.
Zhao Li finished his tasks and leaned back in his chair, feeling a bit bored. His thoughts wandered, reflecting on the events of the past few days.
The news of a Half-step Martial Saint from Qingzhou who could battle Demon Clan Great Sages had spread throughout the capital and was even showing signs of spreading to the Thirty-Six States.
This news had naturally caused a huge stir in the capital.
A Half-step Martial Saint battling Demon Clan Great Sages!
There were even rumors that this Half-step Martial Saint had ventured into the Uncertain Demon Den, severing the arm of the Mocking Saint, thus deterring the demon hordes from stepping into Qingzhou.
Such formidable power—was this truly a Half-step Martial Saint?
This is no different from a National Guardian Saint!
Since the establishment of the Great Jin Dynasty, such an event has never occurred!
Therefore, almost everyone in the capital was engrossed in discussing this matter.
Whether they were nobles or commoners, all were passionately debating the authenticity of this news.
As one of the few in the capital who had interacted with Qin Zheng, Zhao Li was no less shocked upon hearing this news.
However, unlike others who were filled with skepticism, he genuinely believed that Qin Zheng had accomplished these feats!
On that youth's body, there was a sense of crisis and an unwavering, mountain-like composure.
It seemed that all unreasonable things, when placed upon him, became reasonable.
Zhao Li couldn't help but sigh, thinking about how much time had passed since he could battle the Demon Race Great Sage.
Would that boy soon advance to become a National Guardian Saint?
Dismissing this unrealistic thought with a light laugh, Zhao Li shook his head.
He believed that Qin Zheng could become a Martial Saint, but not at this moment.
The path to Martial Sainthood was arduous; countless Martial Path prodigies had halted before this threshold, and even with exceptional talent, one must endure the test of time.
Zhao Li shook his head, intending to stand up and take a walk outside.
DONG!!!
Just then, a deep and distant bell chime suddenly resounded.
Zhao Li's expression froze for a moment, then drastically changed!
He rushed out of the room, disregarding the strict rules, and with a single step, he instantly appeared on the rooftop.
SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!
Like him, nearly all the martial artists in the Grand Martial Academy leaped onto the roofs upon hearing the bell.
They gazed in the direction of the bell's origin.
DONG!!!
The deep and distant bell chime sounded again.
At that moment, all the martial artists confirmed the source of the bell—the Grand Martial Academy's deepest recesses! Their faces lit up with disbelief and wild joy!
Deep within the Grand Martial Academy, there was a Guardian Bell with immense power, capable of sensing the advancement of martial artists within Great Jin.
The last time it rang was a hundred years ago, marking the emergence of Great Jin's eighteenth Martial Saint!
"Martial Saint!!!"
"After a hundred years, our Great Jin has finally produced another Martial Saint!!!"
"Heaven blesses our human race! Heaven blesses Great Jin!!!"
Everyone was cheering and celebrating.
They were rejoicing over the birth of a new National Guardian Saint in Great Jin.
Zhao Li's expression froze, and in his mind, an image of a figure in a golden-patterned dark robe suddenly appeared.
Could it really be that kid?
Zhao Li swallowed, then quickly shook his head.
The birth of a Martial Saint in Great Jin always occurred within the Grand Martial Academy, and that kid was currently in Qingzhou, so it couldn't be him.
But if not him, who else could it be?
Zhao Li was filled with curiosity.
Meanwhile, the deep and distant bell chime continued, gradually spreading throughout the entire capital.
Nine bell chimes, grand and majestic, reverberated endlessly.
Everyone who heard this bell chime was stunned.
Those unfamiliar with it wondered about its origin and how it could echo throughout the capital.
The elderly martial artists who had lived for over a hundred years, or those who knew the significance of this bell chime, were shocked and overwhelmed.
The last time this bell had rung was a hundred years ago!
Did this mean Great Jin had a new National Guardian Saint?!
After the initial shock, wild joy erupted!
The National Guardian Saint, named for their role in safeguarding the nation, was the pillar of stability, protecting Great Jin from the surrounding demon dens and the lurking demon hordes.
Each additional National Guardian Saint meant an increased sense of security for the people of Great Jin.
Now, with the emergence of a new National Guardian Saint, the entire Great Jin had reason to celebrate.
Everyone was also curious about the identity of the newly advanced Martial Saint.
Was it Gao Qiyue from Quanyang's Gao Clan?
Or Li Qinglang from Huaiyang's Li Family?
Or perhaps Wang Qiankun from the Great Jin Imperial Family?
These three were the most powerful Supreme Grandmasters in Great Jin, all deemed by the National Guardian Saints to possess the potential for Martial Sainthood.
With no official news, the people could only eagerly await the Great Jin court's announcement of the new Martial Saint's identity.
Within the Grand Martial Academy, including Zhao Li, the martial artists awaited the appearance of the new Martial Saint.
After all, as the heart of Great Jin's martial arts, they were sure to be the first to know the new Martial Saint's identity.
However, this time, they waited for a long time without any news of the new Martial Saint.
Could the Guardian Bell be broken?
Just as doubt began to form in their minds, a shocking piece of news arrived.
Baiyun Demon Den, Huangyan Demon Den, and Qianhe Demon Den!
The three demon dens jointly invaded Great Jin!
Lingzhou and Yanzhou fell!
The National Guardian Saint responsible for defending those regions, Li Family's elder, had perished!
