Chapter 91

The disciple of Wu Zong is to take Huang Feiyang as a disciple?

Huang Feiyang's fortune is overwhelming…

No, that's not right!

Suddenly, Chen Mu remembered something.

Divine Strength Card!

The Divine Strength Card granted Huang Feiyang immense strength; though it is still slowly increasing, his physique changed immediately.

At present, Huang Feiyang, upon careful sensing, is already unlike an ordinary person, and unlike most martial artists.

As for the Giant Spirit Sect, Chen Mu had read related materials—this sect follows the path of strength, and its disciples are all muscular men.

The Giant Spirit Sect's cultivation method is unique, unlike the Hardening School that focuses solely on the body with little Qi cultivation.

The Giant Spirit Sect's method emphasizes controlling bodily strength and fusing it with Qi, thereby strengthening the body and enabling Breakthrough Realm.

Perfectly balanced!

But such a method, demanding mastery of both paths, imposes extremely strict requirements on the martial artist.

If the requirements are not met, one has no qualification to cultivate it.

Clearly, Huang Feiyang has met the requirements!

A single Divine Strength Card led him to accidentally catch the Giant Spirit Sect's attention.

This is a great blessing!

…

"Really? That's wonderful!"

In an instant, Chen Mu, having clarified his thoughts, exclaimed, "Who is your master?"

"Haha, not us."

The tall, muscular man, over one meter ninety, laughed loudly, "Huang brother didn't finish his story—our master is the one taking disciples; we are acting on his behalf."

"By the way, I'm Di Chunlei. This is my junior sister, Qian Yu."

"Yes, yes!" Huang Feiyang nodded frantically, "My fault—I got too excited and didn't explain clearly."

In truth, there was excitement, but mostly guilt.

"So you're Senior Brother Di, Senior Sister Qian!"

Chen Mu immediately climbed the ladder, "My brother being accepted by your master is a blessing of three lifetimes—our whole family is honored! By the way, has the initiation ceremony been held? If not, I'll have people prepare it right away."

"No need, the ceremony is simple."

Di Chunlei smiled, "Young Master Chen, you're already at the Primordial Realm at such a young age—rare indeed. Too bad you're not a 'Great Strength Martial Body.' Otherwise, the two of you could have become disciples together—that would've been a fine tale."

"Great Strength Martial Body?" Chen Mu looked puzzled.

"Yes, every disciple of our 'Giant Spirit Sect' is either a 'Great Strength Martial Body,' 'Huge Power Martial Body,' or ideally, a 'Divine Strength Martial Body.'"

Di Chunlei explained, "A Martial Body is a special constitution. Great Strength, Huge Power, and Divine Strength—these three types prioritize strength. Our Giant Spirit Sect requires at least a Great Strength Martial Body."

"Martial Bodies have a certain probability of being inherited by descendants," added Qian Yu beside him, "Huang's unborn child has a high chance of possessing a Martial Body."

"No, no."

Huang Feiyang waved his hands quickly, "The probability is too low—I've never thought about it, nor do I dare hope."

Deep inside, his guilt grew stronger.

One knows one's own affairs best.

He had at least taken the Divine Strength Pill, but the child in Miao Xiuxiu's womb was utterly ordinary.

The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

Huang Feiyang dared not let his hopes run wild—he must cut off such thoughts from the start, that was the right path.

"There is indeed a certain probability of possessing a Martial Body."

Chen Mu agreed with Qian Yu, smiling, "It's still too early to say now—only after birth can we know."

Hearing this, Huang Feiyang glared at Chen Mu, then blinked rapidly three times.

'What are you doing? Are you crazy?'

Chen Mu remained expressionless, his gaze replying, 'I'm not crazy—relax!'

Since the Divine Strength Card could be obtained once, it might be obtained again.

A second Divine Strength Card for his future nephew or niece—Chen Mu wouldn't mind.

As long as he clung tightly to the Giant Spirit Sect's leg, not only would Huang Feiyang's family have a secure future, but Chen Mu could also gain advantages!

Huang Feiyang being accepted into the Giant Spirit Sect is an immense stroke of fortune.

Far surpassing his quitting the Great Knife Gang and opening a restaurant.

To put it mildly, it's a class leap—three, four, even five levels at once!

…

After mutual introductions, the conversation ended.

Di Chunlei and Qian Yu, representing their master, accepted Huang Feiyang as a disciple.

The ceremony was simple: three cups of tea, three bows.

After the rites, Di Chunlei immediately transmitted to Huang Feiyang the Giant Spirit Sect's introductory cultivation method.

A method for cultivating strength.

Huang Feiyang was only at the Post-Heaven Third Stage; switching methods and re-cultivating would take little time.

One taught, one learned.

On the other side.

In the parlor, Chen Mu asked Qian Yu questions.

"Senior Sister Qian, are you and Senior Brother Di just passing through Nan Yun Prefecture?"

"You could say that," Qian Yu said cheerfully. "We were originally headed to Lu Zhou, but along the way we heard news: the Zuan Jian Shanzhuang in Xia Zhou was wiped out, and its deputy villa master, Chu Yunchang, escaped with a mysterious weapon and fled all the way here into Nan Yun."

"The Fang family, who carried out the massacre, followed them here to Nan Yun. Besides the Fang family, members of Tianxia Hui and Bai Jianmen have also come to Nan Yun to join the fray."

"..." Chen Mu blinked and said, "When I entered the city, I saw people from Jiuyou Sect arriving in Nan Yun too. I originally thought something else had happened—turns out they're all here for the mysterious weapon."

"Jiuyou Sect sent people too?"

Qian Yu smiled at this. "Now Nan Yun's really going to be entertaining. Jiuyou Sect and Bai Jianmen have always been at odds. That mysterious weapon—everyone except me and Senior Brother Di wants it. Once it shows up, there'll be a fight for sure."

"Yes..." Chen Mu sighed.

Above spirit weapons lie mysterious weapons!

Spirit weapons mainly channel true qi, enhancing their power and lethality when unleashed.

Mid-grade spirit weapons are harder and more resilient than low-grade ones, but only top-grade ones gain certain elemental enhancements.

A top-grade spirit weapon's raw destructive power alone is already formidable.

For example, the most common flame swords and knives—planted in the ground, no one below the Innate Realm can even approach them, let alone pick them up to fight.

Mysterious weapons, built upon top-grade spirit weapons, possess even stronger elemental power—and a degree of sentience!

Sentience is the Top Priority.

With sentience, a weapon is no longer an inanimate object; it aligns with its wielder's will, achieving the state of unity between man and weapon.

At that point, you can kill enemies a thousand li away without consuming any true qi.

This reveals the irresistible allure of mysterious weapons!

Qian Yu said she wouldn't get involved because the Juling Sect has strict requirements for weapons.

Very few spirit weapons or mysterious weapons meet their standards.

Because the Juling Sect's disciples treat their own bodies as the strongest weapons!

The second reason is that their mission here in Nan Yun Prefecture has already yielded results.

Huang Feiyang!

Taking Huang Feiyang as a disciple on behalf of their master adds a new member to the Juling Sect—both of them will receive rewards upon returning.

That's right.

Because of the Juling Sect's unique cultivation methods, very few people meet the requirements to train in it.

Disciples of the sect are authorized to take on disciples on behalf of their masters when on missions!

Jiuyou Sect, Tianxia Hui, Bai Jianmen, the Southern Han Fang family.

These four factions are searching everywhere for one man: Chu Yunchang, the wielder of the mysterious weapon!

Early the next morning, Chen Mu went to Zhen Wu Si to report to Zhao Fuzhou.

"Mysterious weapon?"

Zhao Fuzhou listened, then nodded thoughtfully. "No wonder all these people suddenly came to Nan Yun."

"I don't know Chu Yunchang, but I know the Zuan Jian Shanzhuang. Their villa master came from Shen Bing Ge. For centuries, they've specialized in forging swords. Recently wiped out, few escaped. I never expected one of them came to Nan Yun—and brought a mysterious weapon."

He naturally understood the power of a mysterious weapon.

Frankly speaking, Zhao Fuzhou wanted it too!

Because the weapon Zhao Fuzhou currently uses is only a top-grade spirit weapon.

Now a mysterious weapon has come to him...

"Chen Mu, if you get any news about Chu Yunchang, notify me immediately," Zhao Fuzhou said, pulling out a jade tablet from his robe and tossing it to Chen Mu.

"Crush this tablet, and I'll come right away."

Is there such a thing?

Chen Mu eagerly took it, playing with the jade tablet. Its patterns were sparse but interconnected, forming a whole; at its center, a circle held something unknown.

Crush it, and Zhao Fuzhou would appear.

'Excellent, excellent, truly excellent!'

Chen Mu tucked the tablet away and replied, "Brother Zhao, rest assured—I'll inform you the moment I have news."

Zhao Fuzhou's words made it clear he intended to get involved too.

Chen Mu felt no envy or resentment over this.

He wanted the mysterious weapon too—but right now, he couldn't even hold onto it.

If he got it, he'd be hunted down without mercy.

Jiuyou Sect, Bai Jianmen, Tianxia Hui—these weren't small factions of Nan Yun Prefecture.

The first two had lineages stretching over a thousand years; Tianxia Hui had existed for a century and spanned the entire Dao Domain as a top-tier force.

Angering any one of them meant becoming a fugitive for life.

Snatching the mysterious weapon from Huang Keqin and the others was impossible.

Last evening at the city gate, Chen Mu had clearly sensed the aura when Huang Keqin and Shi Shi Kuangsheng clashed—both were at the late Innate Realm stage.

That is, at least Seventh Stage Innate!

When Chen Mu left Zhao Fuzhou's room, he carried a long sword in its scabbard and a finely crafted long wooden box.

Inside the box lay a full set of official robes, an official seal, and the token of a Patrol Envoy.

The robes were a fitted uniform, unlike the crimson fire attire of Zhen Wu Si guards; Patrol Envoys wore black-dominated garments, with black flames coiling around them and a great sun pressing down.

The weapon was no longer Liehu Dao—it was Zhan Sha Dao, a low-grade spirit weapon.

This could be called a small pleasant surprise.

The patrol envoy's ceremonial blade was actually a spirit weapon!

However, the Zhan Sha Blade was rarely used. Once revealed, especially before the Zhenwu Corps guards, it amounted to exposing one's identity.

The patrol envoy's role inherently made him unpopular with the Zhenwu Corps guards.

No one wanted an additional golden circlet on their head.

Yet the patrol envoy's duty was precisely to supervise personnel within the Zhenwu Corps.

For instance, Chen Kang, who had been bribed by the Guo family, feared the patrol envoy most of all.

Therefore.

When possible, the patrol envoy should avoid exposure.

Chen Mu cooperated fully with this.

The Black Flame Robe and the Zhan Sha Blade were stored in the palm-space the moment they left the Zhenwu Corps.

The patrol envoy's official appointment had been issued; theoretically, Chen Mu could now report to another post.

But there was no rush— he only needed to arrive at his inspection post within three months.

Right now, a grand drama was still unfolding in Nan Yun Prefecture.

Representatives of the Four Great Powers were scouring the land for Chu Yunchang, vying for the divine weapon.

Chen Mu had no expectations regarding the divine weapon, but those who came from the Four Great Powers were mostly Innate Realm cultivators.

When an Innate Realm warrior died, the card obtained could not be missed!
