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

Chapter 215 My heart is filled with sorrow, and the sounds of autumn are unheard.

My world is vast, vast enough to hold many things; yet, my world is also small, small enough to hold only my little home.

This is a sentence that Shen Bailian once saw.

"My original intention in cultivation doesn't seem to be to bring peace to all generations." Shen Bailian lay on the bed, his hands crossed behind his head, gently inhaling the familiar and comforting scent in the room.

In an instant, my heart was filled with desolation, and the sounds of autumn could no longer be heard.

The reasons for cultivating oneself and embarking on the path of a martial artist can be complex or simple.

Shen Bailian was the latter. At the beginning, he only wanted to become a martial artist at the Life Establishment Realm and gain the ability to live a good life in this world.

However, after awakening his innate talent, his goal changed to become the strongest in the world, and even in all the heavens, a martial god who surpasses the gods!

Even at this stage, Shen Bailian did not think about creating peace for all generations, but did what he could, because the mission was too great, too great for simple strength or one person to undertake or achieve.

Even a group of people cannot.

Because human nature is inherently complex and changeable, it is already extremely difficult to maintain a unified state, especially after having the power to fight against ten thousand people.

Not to mention utopian idealism like "creating peace for all generations".

Moreover, on this path, the most powerful enemies are not those extremely powerful ferocious beasts or divine favored beings, but the deities who are mired in the sea of ​​suffering.

Those deities, except for a very small number of servant gods, are all embodiments of the rules of this universe. No matter what, they are beings that cannot be destroyed by external forces, but can only be sealed and suppressed by external forces.

Unless you move to a completely new place.

However, this is not something Shen Bailian can consider at this stage, because even the strongest warriors in the Great Xia Dynasty, those at the Divine Palace Realm, have no possibility of creating a world.

"While the Divine Palace Realm remains a distant dream, the Sea Opening Realm is already within reach." Shen Bailian lay on the bed, his eyes flashing slightly, and a illusory yet clear panel appeared before his eyes—

Character Level: LV9 (2750/3000)

Physical Strength: 20.7; Spirit: 20.6

【Eight-in-One Great Sun Visualization Method LV2 (401/900)】

Divine Skill: Shadow Follows LV6 (2/160) (Energy Storage: 1 times)
Eye of God LV2 (480/700)

咫尺天涯LV1（0/300）（剩余固定锚点：1/1）】

Active Skill: Gale LV2 (81/1000) 61
Tian Gang Qi LV3 (900/1100) 79
Basic Knife Skill LV5 (90/1600) 49
Five Elements Breathing Method LV1 (132/1600) 30
[Passive Skill: Iron Body LV5 (381/2000)] 60
【Cure point: 0】

[Divine Matter: 260]

"However, judging from my current cultivation speed, even if I cannot bring peace to all generations in a short time, it is not impossible in the future."

After experiencing the Level 2 conscription order, Shen Bailian's experience points once again increased dramatically at a speed exceeding that of his usual cultivation.

The divine skill, Eye of God, continues to grant experience points at a constant rate, but its exploration range has significantly increased compared to before the quest in Cave 98.

The scope suddenly expanded by twenty or thirty percent.

It should be noted that the original maximum detection range of Shen Bailian's Divine Eye was already fifty or sixty kilometers, and this is an increase of twenty or thirty percent.

This detection range is far superior even compared to the mental power of the late second stage.

Then came a series of active skills. The Gale skill gained 61 experience points, and the Heavenly Qi skill gained a full 79 experience points. Only 200 experience points were left to level up.

This skill was also the key to Shen Bailian's breakthrough into the Sea Opening Realm at the age of eighteen, when he raised his physical attributes to level 21.0.

Its importance even surpasses that of a person of high rank.

Because regardless of the skill, the improvement of physical fitness and mental strength is based on a fixed skill level.

It is an improvement in the rules, ignoring the existence of any bottlenecks or realms.

Next is the basic swordsmanship skill. In the level 2 recruitment order, although I gained 49 experience points at once, compared to the total experience points of 1600, leveling up is a long way off.

As for the Five Elements Breathing Technique skill, it only yielded 30 experience points, making leveling up seem like a long way off and something that can't be done in a short time.

However, Shen Bailian was happy with this, because the potential of the Five Elements Breathing Technique had not yet been fully developed, and it could still bring him significant progress during the cultivation process.

Furthermore, the Five Elements Breathing Technique is currently only at level one, and upgrading it is not that difficult. It only requires less than half a month of intensive training to upgrade and bring a fixed attribute value increase.

Finally, there's the most difficult skill to upgrade, [Iron Body]. After the battle in the Level 2 Recruitment Order, I directly gained 60 experience points, although there's still a long way to go before I can advance to the next level.

But at least it gave Shen Bailian hope of advancing on his own.

The character's experience points have reached an astonishing 2750, with only 250 experience points left to level up. Although it seems like a lot, strictly speaking, it's not much at all.

Because the experience points gained from character leveling are equivalent to the skill that provides the highest experience point increase within a certain time period, any skill can be used without any restrictions.

Therefore, although the experience points required to level up a character are more than those required to level up the Heavenly Qi skill, the former is still much faster in terms of leveling up speed.

"and."

"After many days of arduous training, coupled with today's exhilarating battle, my physical attributes are just one step away from reaching level 20.8." Shen Bailian closed his eyes, his consciousness sinking down to every inch of his bones, muscles, and flesh.

The flow of blood was so powerful and thick, like mercury water, with a sense of weight. The blood, rich in nutrients, faintly glowed with golden light and contained a vast amount of energy.

It's no exaggeration to say that if Shen Bailian were to casually unleash a punch with only 20% of his strength, the aftershock alone would be enough to kill him a year ago.

As Shen Bailian's experience points in the Five Elements Breathing Technique increased, with each breath, he could increasingly feel his internal organs vibrating at different, yet complementary, frequencies. Meanwhile, the extremely thin primordial energy of heaven and earth spontaneously gathered around him, entering his dantian through his pores into the Dragon Gate Seed, which existed at the boundary between illusion and reality.

Subsequently, the purified elemental energy of heaven and earth scattered like stars throughout Shen Bailian's bones and flesh, causing his body to undergo subtle transformations and improvements.

If described in terms of data, his daily increase in single-arm punching power is now several hundred kilograms, or even tons, almost equivalent to a martial arts apprentice improving their physical fitness by two or three levels.

Even for martial arts prodigies, this level of efficiency is an astonishing rate of improvement.

However, for Shen Bailian, this increase in efficiency was far from enough; it was simply too slow!

The difference in single-arm punching power between physical fitness levels 19.0 and 20.0 is a terrifying 150 tons, and it takes about three months to advance one level.

If Shen Bailian hadn't minded before, after hearing Cheng Shangwu's secret, where would he find so much time to leisurely cultivate?
If this is all there is to it, how long will it take to become a Divine Palace Realm expert, or even break through to the Divine Palace Realm and become that unparalleled Martial God?!
"slow!"

"It's still too slow!" Shen Bailian sighed almost imperceptibly, then shifted his attention to his dantian.

The size of the Lungmen seed has changed dramatically since then; it is now only the size of a mung bean.

"As expected of the Great Heavenly Body Intelligence Center, its ability to deduce things in a way that is almost like information rules is truly frightening." Shen Bailian quietly watched the slowly rotating Dragon Gate Seed and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

In Daxia, due to the uniqueness, irreplaceability, and extreme difficulty in replenishing the essence of the Dragon Balls.

Therefore, in order to conserve the essence of the Dragon Balls, when each Sun-level Dragon Gate Seed is generated, the Great Heaven Body Intelligence Center will release a portion of its computing power to make fine adjustments based on the subtle differences in the bodies of each martial arts prodigy and top martial arts prodigy.

This is one of the reasons why the Sun-class Lungmen species can only be opened at a specific time each year.

"but."

"Once the Dragon Gate Seeds are used up, how do we replenish them?" For construction workers, there's a classic saying: "As long as you want to work, there's always work to be done."

Cultivation is the same.

As the Dragon Gate Seeds gradually reach their depletion, although this means that Shen Bailian is only one step away from the Sea Opening Realm, it also means that his future cultivation path will lack the assistance of Dragon Pearl essence.

In this world, the essence of the Dragon Balls can be considered one of the highest-level and most effective powers besides divine power, and it also has the function of extracting the primal energy of heaven and earth and enhancing the strength of the Force.

Furthermore, with the help of the Dragon Ball essence, a Sun-level Dragon Gate martial arts student of the same grade is 20-30% stronger than a Moon-level Dragon Gate martial arts student.

This is a real gap in combat strength.

"Eh~"

Oh, how sad! Oh, how sad!

"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. After finishing this last thing, I'll take a few days to rest." Shen Bailian shook his head, dispelling the chaotic thoughts in his mind.

For some reason, he has been feeling a heavy burden on his shoulders lately. Perhaps it is because of his lack of power and therefore his lack of security, or perhaps it is because of his desire for power.

Shen Bailian was always immersed in cultivation, and the few moments he had to relax were pitifully few.

But once he got home, he found that his impatient heart, which had been eager to improve his strength, suddenly calmed down, and he felt a peace he had never experienced before.

However, this might be the last vacation Shen Bailian can enjoy in peace in the next few years. He will have to increase his cultivation progress and the time he spends grinding experience points. He will have to grind for at least twenty hours a day!
Or, to put it another way, after breaking through to the Sea-Opening Realm, one could directly apply to go to the border of the Great Xia Dynasty.
In any case, with the overall rate of skill experience gain slowing down, Shen Bailian can no longer be as leisurely as before and must pay more attention.

Only in this way can one possibly possess a modicum of self-protection under the divine might of those gods before their complete return.

Teng!
Shen Bailian nimbly leaped up from the small bed, then carefully put the letter back into the envelope and solemnly placed it in the drawer.

Although he didn't have high hopes for "creating peace for all generations," since it was the dying wish of his nominal master Zhou Changqing, he could give it a try after he became a Martial God.

If you can, then you can; if you can't, then you have to ask!
"Now there is one more important thing, which is to choose a suitable location as my anchor point." Shen Bailian looked at the divine skill "Close to the World" on the panel and fell into deep thought.

Only when he has locked onto the anchor point can he be called "invincible in the world" in another sense. Even when facing a Divine Palace Realm expert, he can at least fight to a draw.

Hmm... it's the kind of draw where Shen Bailian won't die completely.

"I've got it!" Shen Bailian thought for a while and suddenly came up with a suitable location.

That place can be considered a milestone on his martial arts journey, because it was there that he and Zhanlong first saw blood.

"Looking back now, that 'attack' was really full of loopholes," Shen Bailian shook his head and chuckled.

Now that I think about it carefully, the timing and location of that lizardman's appearance are too coincidental, and there's only one monster, which is quite strange.

It was as if someone had been observing his movements and then deliberately lured the lizardman to the abandoned basketball court beforehand.
Furthermore, although only half a year has passed, it feels like an eternity to Shen Bailian.

Those mountains that once seemed insurmountable have now become beautiful roadside scenery in his eyes, easily crossed with a single step.

Those once-powerful opponents are no longer worth a fight in Shen Bailian's eyes, because with his current mental strength, he can kill them instantly with just a glance.

Take, for example, the traitor Chen Yunfei.

Shen Bailian glanced at the door and the window, then rested his chin on his right hand and pondered for a moment.

Whoosh!
With a piercing whooshing sound, Shen Bailian's figure soared into the sky. After locking onto his destination, he sped off towards the abandoned basketball court without hesitation.

Get it done quickly so you can go home and rest.

Meanwhile, the third-floor residential building above Zhenhua Store was still brightly lit, and the half-closed windows swayed slightly in the breeze.

Waiting for someone to return.
