Chapter 189

This level of bloodline is of extraordinary significance; as long as it doesn't perish midway, it is virtually destined to be enfeoffed as a marquis or crowned as a king!

And it can also inherit the hidden potential within the bloodline!

"After the last purification, my Stone Man bloodline has begun to show flecks of gold—now it's time to see what this purification brings."

Meng Zhangqing's eyes flickered.

With this 【General's Armor】, my defense has received a qualitative leap.

After all, even though the Heavenly Gang Body Technique is powerful, it is only High-grade Mystic Rank, impossible to compare with 【General's Armor】.

"Test its hardness."

Meng Zhangqing gazed at the silver armor before him and slowly drew out Chixiao Sword.

Keng!

With one slash, sparks exploded outward.

Aside from faint marks, there was no damage whatsoever.

"Good."

Meng Zhangqing nodded in satisfaction.

Although I didn't use true qi or any martial technique, this is still a high-grade spiritual sword—its sharpness is already terrifying.

Under the same cultivation realm, it is sufficient to injure many perfected High-grade Mystic Rank body cultivation techniques.

But for 【General's Armor】, it has little effect.

"System, use a bloodline purification card."

Meng Zhangqing said.

Ding!

"Consumed one bloodline purification card!"

The voice faded.

That familiar sensation returned once more.

The silver Stone Man bloodline began to boil; more impurities were broken down and transformed into pure Stone Man bloodline.

After several moments, the purification ended.

Meng Zhangqing immediately turned his attention inward.

The bloodline, once entirely silver, now had one-tenth turned golden!

Before this purification, there had been only faint traces.

Clearly.

This time it was another critical success!

And the critical value was even higher than last time!

One-tenth golden bloodline—this means I'm only nine-tenths away from complete Golden Bloodline.

Just need a few more purification cards.

Kaka kaka!

As the bloodline grew even purer, 【General's Armor】 also changed: its silver exterior gradually shifted to a pale gold, becoming older and more noble.

It seems that when it turns fully golden, there will be a qualitative leap!

"【King's Armor】?"

Meng Zhangqing's eyes flickered with bright light.

The full name of 【General's Armor】 is Armor of the General.

It is determined by bloodline concentration.

Below it is 【Soldier's Armor】, equivalent to a High-grade martial technique.

Above it is 【King's Armor】.

This is a bloodline technique exclusive to Golden Bloodline!

According to the Shi brothers, 【King's Armor】 is equivalent to something legendary...

He took a deep breath.

Meng Zhangqing calmed himself.

The future is bright, but the path must be walked step by step; one cannot remain lost in fantasy.

The reward also included three Earth-grade martial technique mastery cards!

Meng Zhangqing planned to save them for the Great Freedom Mystic Golden Sword Art.

Although they could also be used to enhance the Linglong Dalaotian Technique—after all, its amplification is indeed fierce—right now he was within the Zong Sect, and there was no urgent matter.

Better to keep them as a secondary option.

First, strengthen the foundation.

Others use Earth-grade martial techniques; I use Mystic-grade—the gap is too wide.

Having dealt with the acquired items,

Meng Zhangqing sat cross-legged.

??????????? 求鲜花0???

He took out the resources obtained from the secret realm and began to cultivate.

No matter what, his own cultivation realm must never be neglected.

He must hurry to advance.

First, cultivate for a while, then go out and socialize.

――

Time flies like a shuttle.

Soon, a month passed.

During this month, what happened in the secret realm gradually spread.

It caused quite a stir!

After all, one was a monster who had grasped sword momentum at the Tempered Meridian Realm, and the other was the long-extinct Stone Bloodline.

Both were terrifying.

For a time, the three of them saw their fame surge within the True Disciple ranks.

"Ahead should be Meng Zhangqing's spiritual peak."

Amidst the cloud sea, three sword lights drifted slowly toward them.

Each sword light bore a figure standing upon it.

They appeared young, not yet thirty, yet their aura was exceedingly formidable.

The lowest among them was at the 5th stage of the Sea Realm.

0.. 0

"Yes, this is a new spiritual peak, directly gifted to this younger brother Meng by the Zong Sect."

The leading youth nodded.

He was the strongest among the three.

8th stage of the Sea Realm.

His name was Wei Qing.

"By the way, Senior Brother Wei's Great Freedom Mysterious Golden Sword Qi has grown much more refined—has it reached Minor Achievement Realm?"

Another said with a smile.

"Younger Brother Wang has sharp eyes—it has indeed reached Minor Achievement Realm, but it cost me all my resources, and I still owe others plenty."

Wei Qing shook his head, appearing resigned, yet his lips curled slightly upward.

Among Initial-stage Earth Rank martial techniques, Great Freedom Mysterious Golden Sword Qi was the hardest to master, primarily due to its enormous and expensive resource consumption; yet once even slightly accomplished, its power was among the absolute top in its tier!

"Unfortunately, my strength isn't enough to obtain an Earth Martial Token, and even if I did, I couldn't afford to train it."

Another said with a touch of envy.

"Man's effort determines his fate—work hard, younger brothers; you'll surely get your chance someday."

"Thanks for your good words, Senior Brother."

The two immediately lit up with hope.

Though they had become True Disciples many years ago, they were still far from obtaining an Earth Martial Token.

"Today we came mainly to meet this new prodigy—later, younger brothers, mind your manners; don't act like seasoned seniors."
