Chapter 150: Self-Cultivation: Old History of Hua-Yu

"Huai Kingdom Immortal Ancestor? A True Immortal-level expert? Doesn't our Xia Kingdom also have a True Immortal?" Qin Jiang asked with some surprise.

Walking step by step, he increasingly understood how big the gap between martial artist levels was.

If there were no experts of the same level to contain them, there would almost be no chance of winning, even if the Xia Kingdom army had already broken through the Huai Kingdom capital.

The foundation of the nation lies in the True Immortal.

Lin Mingzhi shook his head, "The one in the Imperial Capital is also like the Changshou Sect Master, having entered his twilight years; although he won't pass away, his combat power is probably not as good as that one in the Huai Kingdom."

Qin Jiang nodded, "Besides the Huai Wang, who is the other person among those two True Gods?"

"Huai Kingdom Grand Marshal, Fushan. His cultivation is not below that of the Huai Wang," Lin Mingzhi said.

"Does our Xia Kingdom not have such experts besides the current Xia Emperor?" Qin Jiang asked.

"There is one more, the former Governor of Yuan Prefecture, who is also the current Grand Marshal of our Xia Kingdom, Ye Yuanling.

But Elder Ye is also nearing his twilight years, and neither the Huai Wang nor Fushan may be his opponent," Lin Mingzhi said.

Qin Jiang narrowed his eyes upon hearing this; if that were the case, it would truly be a bit difficult to handle.

"However, you don't need to worry too much; the Yuan Prefecture war is just a beginning, True God-level experts will not personally make a move for the time being, at least they will wait until the Yuan Prefecture war is nearing its end before making a move to test," Lin Mingzhi said.

Qin Jiang nodded; if that were the case, there should be enough time.

As long as he could raise the Vajra Indestructible Body or the Qi King Hun Tian Halberd to the Ninth Layer during this period, he would be able to fear no Huai Kingdom True God, even if both made a move together.

The only thing he was still a bit worried about was that Immortal Ancestor of the Huai Kingdom; he had never witnessed the power of the True Immortal level.

"Since that's the case, I will take my leave first."

"Take care, Worthy Brother, I will see you off."

When he returned to the Qin Mansion, it was already late at night. Qin Jiang walked into the courtyard, Xu Yanran was sitting in the pavilion, boiling hangover soup in front of her, gently waving a fan.

Looking at the burnt-out wood chips, it had been a while.

"Husband, you are back," she smiled, picked up the pottery pot, and poured the soup into a teacup.

Qin Jiang smiled, walked over, and gently hugged her from behind, "It's so late and you're not sleeping."

"If you don't come back, I can't sleep," Xu Yanran smiled.

Qin Jiang laughed and carried her horizontally, "Can you sleep if I come back?"

Xu Yanran's cheeks were a bit flushed upon hearing this, and she leaned gently into Qin Jiang's arms.

"Hmm."

Her body trembled slightly, and she responded, her voice as thin as an insect's chirp.

"Madam, it's time to rest."

The next day, following a slight sound, Qin Jiang pushed open the door and walked out, spreading his arms slightly, feeling refreshed.

Behind him, Xu Yanran also walked out, her face rosy.

"Madam, I'm going out for a trip, I might be back in two days."

After leaving the Qin Mansion, Qin Jiang took out a piece of animal skin scroll, which he had accidentally found in the Myriad Treasures Pavilion of the Changshou Sect, recording an ancient city of the Ancient Yu Kingdom.

Comparing the location, he confirmed the location, and then soared directly into the air, flying toward the destination.

The scenery beneath him changed constantly, quickly passing over several cities.

Before long, he had arrived in the mountains outside the wilderness, and from time to time, he could feel the aura of Great Demons carrying evil thoughts.

"Humph!"

With a cold snort, the pressure belonging to a Divine Martial Artist suddenly pressed down, and in an instant, all the malice disappeared.

Moving forward for a moment, he landed at the edge of a valley.

Looking into the valley, he took out the animal skin scroll to compare and confirmed that this was it.

He couldn't help but be a bit surprised; the architectural habits of the Ancient Yu Kingdom were quite distinctive, almost all in places where human footprints were rare.

Without thinking much, he jumped down, and at the same time, a gold-black light shadow appeared behind him, smashing a punch toward the bottom of the valley.

With a loud noise, the earth and stone cracked, the shattered ground fell downward, and Qin Jiang also followed to the bottom of the valley.

Looking around, it was a bronze palace, with specifications similar to that underground palace in the Fenglin Mountain Range, only a bit larger.

Looking forward, there was a familiar-looking sacrificial platform, enshrining a Nightmare Beast statue.

He couldn't help but marvel; having seen so many Ancient Yu Kingdom ruins, he finally saw one that enshrined a Nightmare Beast. Walking forward, his palm gently touched the statue, and surging potential points poured into his body.

【Potential Points absorbing... 57810】

【Potential Points: 797.4】

Not bad, an increase of more than seven hundred.

Withdrawing his hand, Qin Jiang looked around and began to scrape up the remaining potential points.

A moment later, his gaze fell on the panel, 【Current Martial Arts】

Qi King Hun Tian Halberd (First Layer) (6000/20000) 【94%】 Vajra Indestructible Body (Seventh Layer) (2500/50000) 【93%】 Eastern Wood Longevity Body (Third Layer) (2000/30000) 【86%】 Purple Mansion Insight Scripture (Consummation) 【89%】 God Demon True Canon (Consummation) 【98%】 【Potential Points: 986.6】

A little less, but not bad.

Without hesitation, he invested all the potential points into the Vajra Indestructible Body.

【Vajra Indestructible Body (Seventh Layer) (2500/50000) 【93%】, Experience +98000】

【Vajra Indestructible Body (Eighth Layer) (45500/90000)】

【Potential Points: 6.6】

Dazzling golden light erupted from his body, and a phantom of a golden bell appeared, identical to the Diamond Bell in the Diamond Divine Hall.

At the same time, Sanskrit chanting faintly appeared in the void, carrying a sense of solemnity and sanctity.

A moment later, the phantom of the Diamond Bell gradually dissipated, and Qin Jiang slowly opened his eyes, golden light flowing, reflecting countless golden Sanskrit characters.

A sense of power surged in his body, he raised his head slightly, and exhaled a stream of golden Qi.

Is this an Eighth-tier Divine Martial Artist? Truly powerful.

The golden light converged, and he looked at the experience points needed behind the Vajra Indestructible Body, his eyebrows raising slightly.

It had increased by a full forty thousand experience points, several times more than the previous layer.

No wonder the Eighth-tier Divine Martial is known as the peak of Divine Martial; it is simply a world of difference from before the Eighth-tier.

For no reason, the two words "True God" appeared in his mind.

If the gap between the Seventh Layer and the Eighth Layer was so large, then how large would the gap between the Eighth Layer and the Ninth Layer be?

To what extent would one have to reach to be specifically described by an exclusive name?

Thinking for a moment, he shook his head.

No matter how big the gap was, it was still counted as Divine Martial arts, so there was no need to perform leapfrog deduction, which could save a lot of potential points.

Clenching his fist slightly, he swung it casually, adapting to the increased power for a while.

Just as he intended to leave, the Sand Scorpion King, who had been staying in his sleeve, crawled out and waved its front claws at the statue.

Qin Jiang was startled at first, then as if remembering something, he turned back to look at the Nightmare Beast statue.

The underground palace in the Fenglin Mountain Range, what was originally enshrined had been replaced by the Vast Sea Mysterious Tripod, and he didn't know what it was anymore.

But in the bronze city in the Black Scorpion Desert, there was a Sand Scorpion King in the enshrined Sand Scorpion statue.

Then, would there also be a Nightmare Beast in this Nightmare Beast statue?

After obtaining the Sand Scorpion King, he had flipped through ancient books; the many exotic beasts enshrined by the Ancient Yu Kingdom, including the Nightmare Beast and the Sand Scorpion King, were all extremely powerful exotic beasts from thousands of years ago.

These exotic beasts did not belong to the demon category; although their intelligence was not high, the strength of their adult forms could reach the level of a Demon King, that is, a Divine Martial Artist.

And these exotic beasts often possessed some exclusive talent, which could be called a life-bound supernatural power.

For example, the Sand Scorpion King could control sandstorms, and the Nightmare Beast could enter dreams to kill.

Especially the Nightmare Beast, its life-bound supernatural power was extremely lethal even when used by its juvenile form.

If one could obtain one, it could be considered obtaining a Divine Martial Artist.

Walking forward, his palm pressed on the statue, golden light surging.

A trembling sound emerged, gradually becoming sharp, and at a certain moment, a harsh, strange sound suddenly appeared.

Qin Jiang exerted force with five fingers, cracks appeared on the statue, and then the entire head of the Nightmare Beast exploded.

Raising his hand to brush away the debris, he looked at the break in the statue; a mass of black transparent gelatinous substance emitted a shallow black mist, and next to it was a book, titled "Self-Cultivation: Old History of Hua-Yu".
