Protagonist:

Chen Jie

Hum!

As Grandmaster Fang Yan's memories continuously fused.

Chen Jie's comprehension of the Eighth Power Surge Period deepened further.

He gained a deeper level of insight into the true essence of power.

However,

What made Chen Jie feel extremely regretful was that even if he completely fused all of Grandmaster Fang Yan's memories, in the end he still could not break through to the 【Grandmaster Late-Stage】 realm.

That's right,

Until an hour later, he had thoroughly integrated and mastered Fang Yan's memories.

But ultimately there was still a gap separating him from the 【Grandmaster Late-Stage】 realm.

No way around it, even with Fang Yan's own martial arts realm comprehension, he was merely at the 【Grandmaster Mid-stage】 realm.

Even though Chen Jie fused and referenced his artistic conception, in the end it was a missed opportunity, unable to achieve a breakthrough in one fell swoop.

Thus it can be seen.

The further one reaches in martial arts realms, the more difficult it becomes to break through.

Swish! A moment later, Chen Jie abruptly opened his eyes.

His gaze emitted a thread of sharp light, dominating aura leaking out.

Sharp, fierce, ruthless, merciless——! Hard to describe Chen Jie's current state with precise words.

"Perfect control, Eighth Power Surge Period!"

Chen Jie murmured to himself.

In Fang Yan's memories, there was no concept of Power Surge Periods; in Wu Kui City's martial arts, there were no specific divisions.

Chen Jie only knew clearly in his heart that Fang Yan's martial arts realm was 【Grandmaster Mid-stage】, while he himself was merely at the peak of the Seventh Power Surge Period.

As for the Imperial Household Knife Technique Grandmaster Qi Wuhen in the Court Army, this World's Strongest Blade's realm——! In the memories, that true expert whose knife technique was peerless, that was a powerhouse at the peak of the 【Grandmaster Late-Stage】 realm.

Simultaneously, Qi Wuhen was also an expert at the limit of the Eighth Power Surge Period, only one final step away from stepping into the Ninth Power Surge Period as a Great Grandmaster powerhouse.

"Entry Subtlety Realm is perfect control, then what is the next realm of Spiritual Will?"

Chen Jie let out a long breath, murmuring to himself.

Fang Yan's Martial Arts Force Generation Inheritance, this memory, was like an extremely precious treasure trove.

Have to say,

A 【Grandmaster Mid-stage】 powerhouse's Martial Arts Force Generation Inheritance is an extremely precious thing to anyone, too important for the improvement of the Martial Arts Power Realm.

At this moment, as Chen Jie absorbed and fused Fang Yan's Memory Inheritance, he had originally only just gained some comprehension of the Entry Subtlety Realm's Spiritual Will, never expecting it would instantly elevate him to the peak state of 'Perfect Control'.

Simultaneously,

The many Xingyi Secret Transmission Killing Moves Fang Yan mastered, those 【Grandmaster Techniques】 of infinite power, now became Chen Jie's 【Grandmaster Techniques】 treasure trove.

This memory was extremely pure, without even excessive personal emotions.

All of this was because Fang Yan's Grandmaster Will was 'Guardian'! He was single-mindedly devoted to martial arts, his life's sole belief was to protect the Xingyi Sect.

If Grandmaster Fang Yan's memories are the purest Martial Arts Inheritance.

Then the Memory Inheritance of that Blade Path Grandmaster Tie San whom Chen Jie killed last time appeared much more turbid, mixed with very complex personal beliefs.

No way around it, Tie San was a Court man, and simultaneously Qi Wuhen's Disciple, spending his whole life in a state of competition.

He needed to curry favor and flatter, needed to scheme and struggle, needed to handle all sorts of affairs.

So, Tie San had too many entanglements, too many distracting thoughts in his personal memories.

Although Chen Jie absorbed the Memory Inheritance of this Blade Path Grandmaster Tie San, the improvement he gained was far from reaching the level of this Fang Yan Memory Inheritance.

Moreover, from the perspective of Martial Arts Power Realm, Fang Yan was a 【Grandmaster Mid-stage】 powerhouse, inherently stronger than Tie San's Grandmaster Intent.

So, after Chen Jie absorbed Fang Yan's Memory Inheritance, the improvement to his Spiritual Will was much greater than before.

"Although Fang Yan was merely a 【Grandmaster Mid-stage】 powerhouse, he was an outstanding figure among 【Grandmaster Mid-stage】 powerhouses!"

"He was called a true genius by the Old Grandmaster, the most outstanding Fourth Uncle of the Xingyi Sect!"

"He was also one of the strongest Guardian Grandmasters in the Xingyi Sect, his Peak Combat Power even comparable to a 【Grandmaster Late-Stage】 powerhouse!"

"Compared to his Peak Combat Power, the Imperial Guard Army's Blade Path Grandmaster Tie San fell short by quite a bit."

"The strength gap between Grandmasters appears to be just one level difference, but in combat power it's worlds apart, the gap vast."

After Chen Jie finished absorbing Grandmaster Fang Yan's Memory Inheritance.

He did not stop, but continued searching through all of Fang Yan's memories, wanting to find Fang Yan's most core thing.

"Strange, Tie San possessed his own Grandmaster Will Inheritance, Fang Yan's strength was greater, his Martial Dao Will more steadfast."

"His Grandmaster Will is 'Guardian'! But where exactly is the 'Guardian' intent?"

"Any Grandmaster's Ultimate Art is usually fused within the 'Guardian' artistic conception."

"With Fang Yan's strength, since he was already dead, it's impossible he wouldn't have formed his own 'Guardian' True Meaning!"

Chen Jie furrowed his brow slightly, continuously searching through the memories in his mind.

After killing Corpse Stiffs so many times in the Dream Space.

Chen Jie now also counted as quite experienced, having gained some insights, knowing the patterns of Corpse Stiff Memory Inheritance.

Any Grandmaster Level Corpse Stiff, as long as it was killed by Chen Jie afterwards, would turn into a Memory Light Ball.

In their memory inheritance, the core of Grandmaster Will is left behind.

That is the "True Meaning"! This is the most core thing in the memory of a Grandmaster-level Powerhouse, and also the symbol of a Grandmaster-level Powerhouse.

The true essence of memory in the corpse stiff of any Grandmaster Technique powerhouse is the Grandmaster's "True Meaning"! "Right here——!"

Chen Jie searched very carefully in the memories within his mind.

Finally, he found Fang Yan's "Guardian" True Meaning in the memories! It is the true essence of Grandmaster Fang Yan's martial arts, like radiating infinite brilliance.

Exhale——! Chen Jie took a Deep Breath, and with his mind opened this memory, allowing it to fuse into his own Master Intent.

Have To Say,

Any Grandmaster-level Powerhouse can only reference others' Master Intent, unable to fuse them.

But there is one type that is special, and that is "True Meaning"! It is the core of any Grandmaster powerhouse's lifetime Martial Arts Comprehension.

As Chen Jie fused Fang Yan's "Guardian True Meaning" into his own Martial Arts Artistic Conception.

Vroom——! A vast and infinite Artistic Conception filled his mind.

This is a manifestation of will like steel bones and iron frame, Majestic Momentum, like a Copper Wall Iron Wall, impregnable.

"Roar——!"

A dragon's roar spread throughout Chen Jie's mind.

Only to see within the manifested steel will, a earth dragon appeared.

It soared in the air, suddenly flipped over, steadily descended, endless pressure and Aura, merging as one with Chen Jie's Artistic Conception.

Suddenly, Chen Jie recalled the words Fang Yan spoke before his death.

"Pity I was Only One Step away from 【Grand Master Late Stage Realm】, only just comprehended the Xingyi True Meaning, never expected Wu Kui City would actually suffer such a great calamity——!"

The True Meaning of Xingyi Fist!

Strongest Guardian! This is the Secret Transmission of the Xingyi Twelve Forms——Dragon Guardian!

"So Fourth Uncle Fang Yan's Martial Dao True Meaning is Dragon Form!"

"Xingyi Secret Transmission Twelve Forms, Dragon is primary, Tiger is auxiliary!"

"This is——Dragon Guardian!?"

Chen Jie couldn't help but sigh with emotion, he seemed to feel at this moment that he himself was Only One Step away from the 【Grand Master Late Stage Realm】.

Fang Yan's Strongest Grandmaster Technique is——Dragon Guardian!

Once this Secret Transmission 【Grandmaster Technique】 is cultivated to Great Accomplishment Realm, it can block a Great Grandmaster's strike! Fang Yan's Martial Dao is Strongest Guardian! So he is known for Defense, his true Powerful place is not offense. This is an extremely Powerful Master Intent, will have Opportunity to Breakthrough To Great Grandmaster! Chen Jie felt Fang Yan's Martial Will, Inner Heart incomparably moved.

Qi Wuhen's Blade Path, in Chen Jie's memories, is able to Breakthrough To Great Grandmaster Realm.

And now, Fang Yan's Martial Dao, similarly possesses the potential to Breakthrough To Great Grandmaster Realm.

However,

What made Chen Jie feel very surprised is, whether Fang Yan or Qi Wuhen, neither seems to have broken through the final step.

Why exactly? Only Wu Kui City's City Lord Xiang Tianxiao and Great Inner Court First Strongest Zhan Wuji two people broke through to Great Grandmaster Realm.

Others, including the Nine Great Sects' Sect Masters, are merely Grand Master Late Stage Realm.

No One able to further Appear Breakthrough To Great Grandmaster Realm, certainly there is some unknown reason.

Although Chen Jie's goal directly obtained Xingyi Sect 【Grandmaster Mid-stage】 powerhouse's Martial Arts Inheritance.

But Have To Say, just Xingyi Sect's martial arts alone, is enough for Chen Jie to research for many years.

He wants to cultivate Xingyi Sect's martial arts to 【Master Late-Stage】 Peak Realm, the road is long and arduous.

This moment, Chen Jie suddenly thought, his Aura can go to Tan Leg Gate, or Pear Blossom Spear Gate Sect, kill other Grandmaster-level Powerhouse corpse stiffs.

As long as obtain their Force Generation Inheritance, he can gather all Nine Great Sects' martial arts.

At that time, certainly can in one fell swoop Breakthrough To Great Grandmaster Realm.

However,

Chen Jie thought a bit, Ultimately Still gave up.

"Simultaneously cultivating Three Major Martial Arts, Consumed too much of my time!"

"A person's energy is limited, Impossible to learn all!"

"If cultivate all Nine Great Sects' martial arts, first not to mention whether I can cultivate all to Great Accomplishment Realm."

"Once start cultivating other martial arts, will definitely drag down my current Martial Arts Power Realm."

Exhale——! Chen Jie thought here, couldn't help but Exhale a breath.

Anyone's time is limited, simultaneously many martial arts possess mutually restraining nature.

If want to learn all Nine Great Sects' kung fu, don't know how much time needed.

Like Xingyi Sect's Fourth Uncle Fang Yan, Bei Cheng Wei Xingyi Sect's most Top Level genius, simultaneously also Xingyi Sect's Strongest Guardian.

If he could advance Xingyi Sect's martial arts further, very hopeful to Breakthrough To 【Great Grandmaster】 Realm.

His Martial Arts Belief is extremely pure, no distracting thoughts, lifetime immersed in martial arts Cultivation Practice.

But,

Even If so, he is merely a 【Grandmaster Mid-stage】 Realm powerhouse.

Even "Guardian True Meaning" just comprehended recently, didn't even have time to Breakthrough To 【Master Late-Stage】 Realm.

Such Top Level genius, cultivating one martial art, needs to Consume So Much time.

Chen Jie doesn't feel his Martial Arts Talent can Transcend Fourth Uncle Fang Yan.

Know that, Martial Arts Realm Breakthrough To Grandmaster Realm after, other corpse stiffs' Martial Arts Artistic Conception, can only reference.

Want to make for own use, besides Martial Arts Comprehension able to fuse into own Master Intent, all else needs bitter practice.

Too time-consuming.

Any Martial Arts Realm Breakthrough, as long as Breakthrough To Grandmaster Realm, must rely on oneself.

External force can shorten the time, but comprehending one's own Martial Dao is the core.

Of course,

This is not to say Chen Jie does not want the martial arts of the Wu Kui City Nine Great Sects.

"The Force Generation Inheritance of these three martial arts — 'Qi Family Saber Technique', 'Xingyi Fist Method', 'Twelve Routes Tan Tui' — is sufficient to let me cultivate my own martial arts to the 【Grand Master Late Stage】 realm."

"Therefore, for the coming time, I only need to proceed step by step and break through my martial arts realm to the limit of the Nine Great Sects!"

"A person cannot be too greedy; one must advance one step at a time, continuously growing stronger!"

"The other martial arts of the Nine Great Sects, I can wait until I break through to the 【Grand Master Late Stage】 realm, become sufficiently powerful, then go kill the Grandmaster Technique Corpse Stiffs of the Nine Great Sects and obtain their memories!"

"With the strength of a Grand Master Late Stage expert, fusing other people's martial arts will be very easy, and it will also be very easy to integrate and master them thoroughly!"

"I have a premonition; perhaps wanting to break through to the Great Grandmaster realm should be related to the Wu Kui City Nine Great Sects!"

"Only by combining the martial arts of the Nine Great Sects is there an opportunity to break through to the 【Great Grandmaster】 realm."

Thinking up to here, Chen Jie could not help but let out a long breath.

That is right; this premonition of his is becoming increasingly intense.

This is also Chen Jie's plan for the improvement of his own Martial Dao in the future.

To him, the Dream Space is like a vast and boundless martial arts treasure trove.

He has already opened this treasure trove and benefited immensely from it.

Any Corpse Stiff in Wu Kui City is, to Chen Jie, the core of martial arts, the inheritance of martial arts.

In the Dream Space, Chen Jie does not need to bitterly train; he only needs to kill Corpse Stiffs to obtain their lifetime of martial arts memories.

His Martial Dao path is the endpoint of Wu Kui City! What he needs to do now is continuously develop this treasure trove, continuously absorb nutrients, and grow himself.

The next target is — Qi Wuhen!

That is right,

Among the Great Inner Court Experts, the strongest Blade Path Grandmaster, known as the Number One Blade Under Heaven, Qi Wuhen!

Only by defeating Qi Wuhen can one truly glimpse the secret of Wu Kui City.

First Person under the Great Grandmaster! "Among my several major martial arts, the Qi Family Saber Technique is the strongest martial art!"

"Whether it is Fist Technique or Leg Technique, only by fusing the artistic conception of the Qi Family Saber Technique can they become stronger, with greater power!"

Most importantly, according to Fang Yan's memories.

In the middle of the Wukui City Square, the Core Battlefield, Qi Wuhen is right there.

"Core Battlefield! It is getting closer and closer——!"

Chen Jie raised his head and looked ahead.

For some unknown reason, the closer he got to the middle of Wu Kui City, the denser the thick fog became, making it almost impossible to see the direction clearly.

His Spiritual Will is becoming increasingly powerful; just now, absorbing and fusing Grandmaster Fang Yan's Memory Inheritance grew it considerably.

Therefore, his Sixth Sense perception is becoming increasingly sharp, increasingly clear.

In the direction of the middle square of Wu Kui City, there exist many terrifying existences that make him feel heart palpitations and trembling dread.

Even with Chen Jie's 【Grandmaster Mid-stage】 realm Martial Will, he feels unable to breathe.

At this moment, Chen Jie even has a feeling of having just walked out of the newbie village, standing at the village entrance gazing into the distance at a high-level map.

The entire Wukui City Square area is too large.

Thick fog shrouds the surroundings; Experts are numerous as clouds, murderous intent lurks hidden.

The Central Battlefield is at the center of the Wukui City Square.

Therefore, the closer he gets to the center of the Wukui City Square, the more Chen Jie can feel the terrifying pressure.

"Hunt and kill Qi Wuhen!?"

Suddenly, a thread of this kind of thought popped up in Chen Jie's mind.

However,

He helplessly shook his head; this idea is a bit dangerous.

The difficulty is too great——! (Chapter End)
