Chapter 258

At least it can block the gaze of the outside world.

The pavilion naturally had this effect to begin with, but who could have expected the pavilion to collapse now?

——

Time passed in a flash.

Another seven days went by.

Meng Changqing successfully broke through to the eighth stage of the Sea Opening Realm.

However, according to estimates, reaching the Creation Realm before the Seven Peaks Martial Arts Competition was now impossible.

But Meng Changqing had no worries.

With his current strength, it was enough.

Boom! Boom!

At the peak of Spirit Peak, a sudden tremor occurred.

It seemed as if a massive object had fallen.

Meng Changqing dispelled the formation.

Before his eyes stood two giants, fully seven meters tall!

They were the Shi brothers.

Compared to before, their cultivation base had improved tremendously; they had actually reached the seventh stage of the Sea Realm!

Only one stage weaker than him.

Meng Changqing was not surprised by this.

After all, these two fellows were not like him; they had been taken in early on by the old peak master of Purple Essence Peak without any management needed.

They possessed the best cultivation resources.

Moreover, the Stone Person bloodline seemed to have a separate method of cultivation.

Unlike ordinary martial artists, they did not rely heavily on bone structure.

So even though the two brothers' bone structure was only Rank Three, they could still maintain a very fast cultivation progress!

However, as their strength increased.

The brothers' bodies also became increasingly terrifying.

Before, they were only a few meters tall, right?

Something over four meters, I suppose.

Now they were around seven meters.

If this continued, in the future they would truly have to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with mountains, towering between heaven and earth!

"Senior Brother Meng!"

Shi Yao greeted him excitedly.

His voice was youthful, not as rough as his appearance.

"Senior Brother Meng."

Shi Guang was much more steady.

"Why have you come?"

Meng Changqing stood up from the ruins.

"We just finished seclusion; that old man, our master, told us to go out and find someone to spar with."

Shi Yao replied, "We happened to pass by Senior Brother Meng's location, so we came to say hello!"

At the same time, he noticed the situation on Spirit Peak.

"Senior Brother Meng, did you get into a fight with someone?"

"Why are the houses all collapsed?"

"Tell your younger brother who it was; I'll go beat him up for you!"

Shi Yao immediately clenched his fists, his gaze turning fierce.

"No, it was caused by the commotion of my cultivation being too loud."

Meng Changqing said with a smile.

"Senior Brother Meng's cultivation speed is truly very fast."

Upon hearing this, Shi Guang immediately noticed Meng Changqing's cultivation base, his eyes showing shock.

At the same age, he was not the dull goose that his younger brother was; he had inherited most of the intelligence.

As far as he knew, Senior Brother Meng was currently alone, with no master.

So in terms of cultivation resources, he certainly could not compare to us who have masters.

Yet Senior Brother Meng's cultivation progress was not only not surpassed by them.

It actually remained ahead!

This was somewhat terrifying.

"I just had some opportunities before."

Meng Changqing smiled slightly.

At the same time, he activated the Eye of Investigation.

These two brothers now had masters.

Their panel attributes should have changed, right?

Let's see what they learned at Purple Essence Peak.

【Friend: Shi Guang】

【Race: Human】

【Cultivation Base: 7th stage of the Sea Realm】

【...】

【Bloodline: Stone Person】

【Bloodline Technique: Armor of the General】

【Cultivation Methods and Martial Arts: "Emperor's Celestial Scripture · Volume One · Star Transformation" (Entry Level), "Ten Thousand Transformations Star Flow Palm" (Entry Level), "Starlight Shattered Shadow Step" (Entry Level), "Heavenly Great Dominating Body" (Perfection)...】

Shi Yao's panel was the same.

Other attributes did not change much, but the section on cultivation methods and martial arts was as if turned upside down.

"Emperor's Celestial Scripture."

Meng Zhangqing sucked in a slight breath of cold air in his heart.

This was no ordinary cultivation method or martial art.

It was one of the seven supreme scriptures of the Xuan Sect!

The ultimate technique of the Purple Treasure Peak!

Specializing in the body-refinement path!

It is said to have three volumes in total!

Each volume, once mastered, would grant unimaginable power.

And if the three volumes could be united.

It would be enough to walk alone under heaven, holding the mountains and rivers and the universe in one's hands!

Who would have thought the Shi brothers were directly taught the peak-suppressing scripture.

It seems the high-ups of the Purple Treasure Peak value them immensely.

The scripture of the Spirit Cloud Peak is named "Soaring Sky Sword Scripture," containing over ten top-tier sword techniques; it would not be inferior to the "Emperor's Celestial Scripture."

I wonder when I will be able to obtain it.

"I must find a way to raise the two brothers' favorability."

A flicker of expectation flashed through Meng Zhangqing's heart.

Although he had never truly seen the "Emperor's Celestial Scripture," he had heard people mention it when he was in the Outer Sect; later, after entering the Runei Sect, he had seen records of it in miscellaneous books in the Martial Arts Archive.

This scripture specializes in body refinement and is quite comprehensive.

It can not only greatly enhance physical defense, but also strength, speed, and so on.

It can even give birth to the legendary power that penetrates the mysteries!

Incredibly powerful.

And his current physical body is, in fact, only high in defense; in other aspects, it is not that excellent.
