We made you practice martial arts, and you've mastered the Great Golden Body?

Chapter 208 The Past of the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Holy Body

"Don't you know his name?" Upon hearing this, Shen Bailian frowned slightly.

This situation is quite perplexing, whether in the present day or in the past.

After all, that was a Divine Palace Realm expert. Even in the old era, whether in the past or now, a Divine Palace Realm expert was absolutely at the very top of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Such a person would definitely be recorded in the Great Xia Tian Body Database; it's impossible for such a simple thing as not knowing their name to happen.

Unless there is an external force involved.

"I know this sounds unbelievable, but it's true." Cheng Shangwu gave a helpless smile and continued calmly:
"According to Principal Xiong, it's because this information is too old, and the other party was one of the earliest famous Divine Palace Realm experts in the old era."

"However, because of this situation, the other party's specific name and deeds are almost hidden in the lowest level of the Great Xia Tian Body Data Database, and encrypted with countless keys."

"Therefore, in the current database of the Great Summer Body, only the other party's code name can be displayed - "Extreme".

“Of course, it could also be due to the interference of some mysterious force. As for what kind of mysterious force it is, you should know about this situation.” Cheng Shangwu looked at Shen Bailian.

In his memory, Shen Bailian seemed to have encountered something similar.

"Hmm." Upon hearing this, Shen Bailian nodded calmly, and his mind gradually cleared up.

He was indeed quite familiar with this mysterious power, and had even experienced it himself; it was simply described in two words—"divine legacy."

Li Mengyi's disappearance seems to involve such methods.

The reason for saying "seems" is entirely because Shen Bailian gradually discovered that Li Mengyi's disappearance was not as simple as it appeared on the surface.

Such divine methods are almost impossible to counter.

Those favored by the gods seem to need to expend a great deal of mental energy, divine power, or other precious artifacts to activate this skill, and cannot use it frequently.

Otherwise, given the nature of those favored by the gods, coupled with the unsolvable nature of divine legacies, the Great Xia human race, and even the human race of the whole world, would have long been swallowed up by the torrent of history.

Therefore, using such a precious and extremely powerful skill to deal with an ordinary employee of a small martial arts school is like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.

"Since it concerns divine relics, how was this god-making plan discovered?" Yuwen Changkong, standing to the side, pondered for a moment before posing a crucial question.

At the same time, Shen Bailian also looked at Cheng Shangwu.

Yes, since this matter involves "divine relics," how was this god-making plan discovered along with the disappearance of that powerful figure at the Divine Palace Realm?
That makes absolutely no sense.

“It’s very simple.” Suddenly, at that moment, Lei Zhentian’s deep voice came from the side.

His expression suddenly turned serious. After glancing at Cheng Shangwu and waiting for him to nod in confirmation, his tense heart finally relaxed. Even if something went wrong, there would be someone to share the blame with him.

“Your character has now been tempered and is as firm as iron.”

"No matter what, you two must keep any news you hear today to yourselves. Otherwise, if it leaks out, the ones holding you accountable will not be us or any other forces, but the Great Xia military."

"Do you understand?!"

"Understood!" Shen Bailian and Yuwen Changkong exchanged glances upon seeing the solemn expressions of Lei Zhentian and Cheng Shangwu, and immediately became excited. They both understood that another big secret was about to be revealed today.

Although both are top geniuses of the Great Xia Dynasty, whether it is Yuwen Changkong, the ninth holy son of the Starry Sky Martial Hall, or Shen Bailian, the "number one person in history" of the Heavenly Gang Academy.

Currently, both of them are in a rather awkward situation: they have potential but lack the ability, and what they lack is the time to transform that potential into real strength.

Although it's highly likely that neither Shen Bailian nor Yuwen Changkong will have any problems breaking through to the Divine Palace Realm, the problem is that both of them are still in the Mortal Transformation Realm.

Let alone the Divine Palace Realm, there is still a considerable distance to go before reaching the Embracing Moon Realm. It will take at least several more years of growth and hundreds of real battles.

Therefore, due to their lack of strength, Shen Bailian and Yuwen Changkong did not have the authority to know many secrets within the Great Xia Dynasty.

Therefore, although both of them had some guesses about the various secrets within the Great Xia Dynasty, the experts at the Sea Opening Realm and above had all received training in confidentiality regulations.

Therefore, neither of them could verify their own guesses.

Today is the day to uncover just the tip of the iceberg, and it's the most secretive part of the Great Xia Dynasty—a secret message related to the gods.

How could this not be exciting?
As for whether this matter will put him in danger?
There's even less to worry about, because in the eyes of those gods or their favored ones, the very existence of humanity on Earth is inherently sinful!
"Actually, this matter can hardly be considered a secret anymore," Cheng Shangwu said in a deep voice, giving Lei Zhentian a long look.
"In recent years, as some clues have emerged, some of the top experts in our Great Xia have discovered a terrifying thing: the effects of divine remnants seem to be gradually weakening."

Shen Bailian and Yuwen Changkong exchanged glances, a faint doubt rising in their hearts. Logically speaking, this shouldn't be good news, right?
The effects of divine gifts are gradually weakening. Doesn't this mean that those divine favored ones are getting weaker, and indirectly that those deities are losing hope of returning?

unless……

"In response, the Great Heavenly Body Intelligence Center, based on past big data, has deduced three conclusions, the most likely of which is that those powers are being reclaimed." At this point, Cheng Shangwu's expression became extremely solemn, and he continued in a deep voice:

"And those who will reclaim the power are most likely the gods."

"To put it simply, those gods are very likely returning at a speed that no one could have predicted."

"!!!" Both Shen Bailian and Yuwen Changkong were shocked when they heard this. This was like a bolt from the blue for them.

While the two thought they had a long time to grow, they were unaware that danger was already creeping in from the depths and was getting closer and closer.

"So," Cheng Shangwu glanced at Lei Zhentian, then looked at the two teenagers in front of him, one big and one small, and said solemnly, "You two should understand what we mean now. We don't have much time left for you."

"Grow up as quickly as possible. Don't worry about being used as anatomical material for research on the operating table. Great Xia will not allow such a short-sighted thing to happen."

As they finished speaking, Cheng Shangwu and Lei Zhentian both glanced at the overly immature-looking boy opposite them.

Although they didn't know what exactly Si Bu Hui saw in Shen Bailian, Cheng Shangwu and Lei Zhentian could roughly guess from the other's expression and Shen Bailian's behavior.

Shen Bailian's strength, physical attributes, and martial arts realm might not be as simple as the two of them thought, and might even far exceed Si Buhui's expectations. Otherwise, what kind of trials and tribulations wouldn't a Divine Palace Realm expert have encountered in their growth process?

A top-tier martial arts prodigy?

This title sounds impressive, but only those who truly understand the situation know the truth.

The so-called top martial arts prodigies are ultimately just a potential indicator jointly evaluated by humans and machines, and only a threshold for becoming a Divine Palace Realm expert or even meeting a Divine Palace Realm expert.

"Understood!" Shen Bailian and Yuwen Changkong replied in unison.

At the same time, Shen Bailian completely ignored the strange looks from Cheng Shangwu and Lei Zhentian, and instead glanced at them discreetly through the Eye of God.

No anomalies were found.

However, for a powerful, manifest holy body like Yuwen Changkong, the absence of any abnormality is the biggest abnormality, but Shen Bailian had long been used to it.

Because when he first met Yuwen Changkong, he used the divine skill—the Eye of God—which is completely different from mental scanning in that it is easily detected, to thoroughly scan him.

"Yuwen Changkong is indeed hiding something." Shen Bailian recalled what Cheng Shangwu had said earlier and Lei Zhentian's expression, and a sense of understanding dawned on him.

The Sacred Body that is known to almost all mid-to-high-level martial artists in the Great Xia Dynasty is the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder. According to the records in the Great Xia Dynasty's Sacred Body Database, the number of times this Sacred Body has actually appeared is only a handful.

This is entirely because the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Saint Body, once fully grown, is incomparably powerful, but it has significant side effects in the early stages of growth.

No matter when, where, or in what environment, the power of thunder can be considered the most violent elemental force, and its destructive power is also the strongest, without exception.

Furthermore, in this new era of groundbreaking scientific progress, many previously held concepts and theories related to electricity have found a basis in reality.

Yuwen Changkong, on the other hand, can simultaneously combine the power of science and metaphysics, unleashing a power that his predecessors never had before.

But this is only in theory.

Good fortune lies within the shadow of misfortune, and misfortune lies within the shadow of good fortune.

The violent nature of thunder power is a double-edged sword.

The Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Holy Body is not a newly emerging holy body in recent decades; it is already considered an "old-brand" holy body in the Great Xia Dynasty.

It had already occurred several times in the early years of the new era.

However, due to limitations of resources, environment, and the times, the number of Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Saint Body owners who can safely survive to adulthood at the age of 18 is extremely small.

Furthermore, among these possessors of the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Sacred Body, 90% died in the face of celestial phenomena.

correct.

You heard right, it was the extraordinary phenomenon that occurred when the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Saint Body was born.

According to scientific methods, when a person with the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Sacred Body is born, their consciousness is still in a chaotic state, and they cannot control the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder factor within their body.

Therefore, unintentionally, it will resonate with the power of thunder and lightning in the heavens, thus giving birth to the strange phenomenon of thunderstorms falling from the sky, with voltages of at least several million volts.

It can be described as extremely terrifying. In the early days of the new era, few people, objects, or forces could withstand such extremely violent thunder power.

Although the owner of the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Saint Body had a high resistance to the power of thunder from the beginning, and was able to be immune to the violent power of thunder to a great extent because of the "Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Factor".

However, the possessor of the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Holy Body is not a monkey that sprang from a crack in a rock, but rather someone who came from the womb. Their parents and relatives have no ability to resist this thunderous power.

Furthermore, in the early days of the new era, because the primordial energy of heaven and earth was not yet evenly distributed, the weather changed as quickly as the expressions of girls in the Sichuan and Chongqing regions.

Furthermore, since the Zhou Tian Star Array has not yet been established, some abnormal and terrifying weather phenomena can be seen everywhere on the Earth Origin Star.

Therefore, in the early days of the new era, although some knowledgeable martial artists were fortunate enough to witness the scene of thunderstorms, and knew that there was a chance of discovering the owner of the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Saint Body in the very center.

However, no martial artist dared to take the gamble, because at the heart of the thunderstorm, it was not just a matter of a few million volts.

When Yuwen Changkong was born, although he had the help of the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array that could detect the entire Great Xia region, it must be said that Lei Zhentian really made a great decision at that moment.

Otherwise, if a mistake is made, Lei Zhentian will not only gain nothing, but may also be seriously injured, wasting precious cultivation time.

In other words, Lei Zhentian was Yuwen Changkong's mentor. Without Lei Zhentian, there would be no Yuwen Changkong today, the ninth holy son of the Starry Sky Martial Hall.

This also explains why the master of a Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Saint Body was only a Sea Opening Realm martial artist.

Although martial artists at the Opening Sea Realm are considered strong throughout the Great Xia Dynasty, those at the Embracing Moon Realm are not exactly everywhere in the Starry Sky Martial Hall.

Of course, 90% of the experts at the Embracing Moon Realm are in the early to mid-stages of the Embracing Moon Realm, and their martial arts potential has been exhausted, leaving them with almost no possibility of advancing further.

When their wishes are completely fulfilled, they will follow their most primal beliefs and head to the border of the Great Xia Dynasty to shine their final glory.

"OK OK."

"You two are under pressure, but don't overthink it." Cheng Shangwu smiled calmly and said, "If the sky falls, there's always someone taller to hold it up."

"Especially Yuwen Changkong, your Master Lei will definitely help you cover for him, right?"

“Right.” Lei Zhentian rolled his eyes at Cheng Shangwu, then continued, “Now that you’ve finished your training, go back and prepare well for the upcoming Freshman Cup competition.”

"it is good!"
