Chapter 455: Immortal Martial Spirit (asking for double monthly tickets)
"I?"

Lu Chenzhou was a little surprised.

Although he is the number one prodigy in Da Xia, his cultivation is only that of a grandmaster. There are so many powerful people in all nations that it is not his turn.

Zhenbei Tianwang Road:
“Not everyone can control the Heavenly Man Ranking. It requires the understanding of a superior way. You are the way of the world. In theory, no one is more suitable than you.

You know, the world we are talking about can actually be divided into two types. One is the material world, which includes the Three Thousand Worlds and the Great Wilderness... But in addition to this, there is another type, which is the spiritual world. The cornerstone of the spiritual world is the spiritual power of all living beings. It can be the worship of ancestors, the belief in gods, or the fear of the unknown.

The research theory about the spiritual world is derived from our research on the evil gods of the stars. We speculate that the evil gods of the stars are fundamentally different from the gods of the Great Wilderness. They are a kind of spiritual entity that is difficult for us to understand. The so-called [Kingdom of God] is also a world built by spiritual forces such as faith and fear. But whether it is the material world or the spiritual world, it is a world.

The martial world is also the spiritual world!
Since it is a world, your [World Way] must be beneficial to its growth. Conversely, the growth of the martial world can also feed back to your world way. With the help of this thing, you may be able to take a step further on your path to the heavenly realm, and even become a legendary powerful being! "

The Heavenly King of Zhenbei had a sharp look in his eyes.

"I see."

Lu Chenzhou's heart was pounding.

The Heavenly King Zhenbei said: "Of course, refining this treasure also requires some tests. We will use the Wanbang Martial Arts Conference in a year as an opportunity to start the Heavenly Man Martial Arts World Plan. All the practitioners of the three major systems above the Grand Master and below the Absolute Peak can participate. I want to give you a task. If you can complete it successfully, you can legitimately become the master of the Xia Realm Heavenly Man List."

"Senior, please speak."

Zhenbei Heavenly King said solemnly:
"Test the world with boxing, and reach the top of the Heavenly Man Ranking! The ranking of the Heavenly Man Ranking is floating in real time. Anyone who is on the list can challenge the strong in front of him, and will also be challenged by the strong behind him. The higher you are on the Heavenly Man Ranking, the more benefits you will get.

Those who are in the top 500 of the Heavenly Man List can leave their own unique Heavenly Heart Mark in the Martial World and give birth to a [Heavenly Man Martial Soul]. The higher their cultivation, the higher their prestige in the world, and the higher their merits in the Xia World, the stronger their Heavenly Man Martial Soul.

With the blessing of the Celestial Martial Spirit, one's life span will be longer, and the progress of cultivation and the power of boxing techniques can also be improved. If a strong person unfortunately dies in a war, the Celestial Martial Spirit can also retain his memory and martial arts, and become the [Spirit in Heaven] like the predecessors such as Lu Zu and Zhang Zu. As long as the Xia Realm's Taoist tradition is not destroyed and the legend still exists, he will live as long as the heaven and earth, shine as brightly as the sun and the moon, and be immortal in the martial world!

When the younger generation of our Xia Realm are in danger, they use martial arts as a bridge, and the spirits in heaven can also project their power. The spirits of powerful people like Lu Zu and Zhang Zu in heaven have been praised and commemorated by later generations, and their strength is unfathomable. "

"To be number one on the Heavenly Man Ranking, you can't do it without near-peak cultivation, right? I'm only a mid-level Grandmaster."

"The Heavenly Man Ranking will be open for a long time. You just need to keep climbing. One day, if you can reach the top and defeat me, you will become the master of the Heavenly Man Ranking. Although my Tao is also superior, it is not suitable for controlling this treasure."

As Zhenbei Tianwang raised his hand, a golden scroll slowly unfolded, revealing lifelike portraits of practitioners wearing costumes from different dynasties:
Zhang Tianshi, Spear Immortal, Green Lotus Sword Immortal… Lu Zu, Zhang Zu, Master Lingkong… The scroll ends with a middle-aged man with a handsome appearance and a carefree temperament.

He is an old tiger.

The master of the Tiger School.

The history of Xia spans tens of thousands of years, from the time the fourth shackles were broken to the present day...all the powerful men who were able to imprint the heart of heaven with their martial arts will and leave behind the essence of Tao are here.

They are dead.

The three souls and seven spirits have dissipated.

But they somehow sensed the existence of the Xia Realm's will, which left a strong mark in the years.

If there are gods in the Xia world, they are them!

Zhenbei Tianwang Road:
"On the Heavenly Man List, there are a total of 108 spirits in Daxia. They have left their names in later generations and are all the founders of the Dao. The oldest one is Zhang Tianshi, the first generation, who has existed in the martial world for years. In the early days of the mountain and sea fission, when the Demon King was in chaos, the Heavenly King of the Dragon and Tiger Academy once asked Zhang Tianshi to show his spirit, descend to the world to show his magical powers, and kill the Eight-Pattern Demon King with all his strength."

Lu Chenzhou was shocked.

"Does the spirit in heaven become stronger the longer it stays in heaven?"

The Heavenly King of Zhenbei said: "This is only one aspect. The cultivation, martial arts will, merits, reputation... all of these have an impact. If you imprint a trace of your spiritual power on the Heavenly Man List, you can enter and take a look."

"Okay, I'll give it a try."

Lu Chenzhou imprinted a trace of mental power on the scroll, and on the blank space on the right side of the scroll, a "portrait" of him appeared, exactly like him.

He observed carefully and found that the "portraits" of the deceased sages were all in black and white, while he, as well as the current leader of the Heavenly Ranking, Zhenbei Tianwang, were all in color.

In a trance, he heard the sound of chanting.

"The Tao is born from nothingness, hiding in all spirits and unfathomable; the spirit is condensed in the void, wonderful and ever-changing and without direction..."

When I opened my eyes, I found myself in another world.

It exudes the breath of time, with academies, Taoist temples and Buddhist temples dotted among the towering mountains.

"Roar!"

On the top of the distant mountains, a giant black tiger roared, walked on the clouds and came in front of Lu Chenzhou.

“This is indeed the place where the Heavenly Heart Mark is.”

Lu Chenzhou's eyes were shocked.

He was very familiar with this giant tiger.

He practices Tiger Form Fist and we meet every day.

Beside him, the figure of Zhenbei Tianwang appeared.

"With your current tiger form attainment, except for your master, there are no more than one palm stronger than you in the whole world, so this black tiger is very kind to you. You can call it [Xuan Jun], which is the name given by Lu Zu."

Lu Chenzhou touched the black tiger's head.

"Junior Lu Chenzhou greets Lord Xuan!"

The black tiger didn't respond, but just rubbed against him.

Heavenly King Zhenbei said: "Xuanjun is the embodiment of the tiger-shaped Heavenly Heart Seal. You can understand it as a collective unconscious entity of some similar martial arts will. It is different from the spirit in the sky. It has no consciousness and memory, and cannot communicate. It is more like a rule created by all tiger-shaped practitioners. However, if the martial arts of Daxia continue to rise, the martial arts world will evolve accordingly, and everyone will work together to make the fake come true, Xuanjun may one day become a real rule entity, such as a mythical creature."

"understood."

Lu Chenzhou continued to travel.

"Ang!" Above the sky, a dark green dragon was hidden in the clouds. Its eyes were arrogant and it looked down upon the world. Its temperament was almost identical to that of the Dragon King of the Sky, with no difference at all.

"Although the Dragon Form faction is strong, the Dragon King has eight Dou alone. The other Heavenly Kings, Grand Masters and other Dragon Form strongmen in the world only have two Dou. Therefore, you can completely regard this [Blue Dragon] as the embodiment of the Dragon King's will. In the past ten years, the Blue Dragon has been growing stronger every day. We suspect that the Blue Dragon King is not far from breaking through the eight."

The Heavenly King of Zhenbei looked expectant.

No one would doubt that the Dragon King could break through eight.

Even though Lu Chenzhou broke through the seventh level earlier, in the eyes of most people, it was not as shocking as the Dragon King's breakthrough of the seventh level in a hundred years.

That is the seventh day of the last day of the Dharma Ending Age.

Afterwards, Lu Chenzhou saw the Phoenix, whose momentum was even stronger than that of Xuanjun, soaring in the sky.

Dragons and phoenixes are flying and dancing, like a myth descending.

The White Phoenix breaks the seventh day, and the Phoenix also ascends to heaven.

And around the Phoenix, there are the symbols of the first-class factions of Wanxiang Dao, such as the Golden Peng and the Crane, which are equally powerful as the Xuanjun, and they are all very powerful.

But the most shocking thing is the black and white sun that looks like a huge sun, filling half of the eastern sky, and the sacred and solemn misty cloud mountain located in the west.

The Heavenly King of Zhenbei said: "The black and white sun is the [Taiji Palace]. My master, the Taoist Xuanwu, the Taoist Dongyue, the Great Heavenly Master Longhu, the Taoist Hong... most of the practitioners in Daxia, including the Dragon King, more or less, belong to the Taoist sect and have condensed this mark together. This is also the strongest Tianxin mark in the martial world. One day, it may become the supreme treasure that suppresses the fortune of the Daxia clan.

As for the west, it is [Lingshan], which is second only to Taiji Palace and the dojo of Buddhist sages.

What I showed you is just the tip of the iceberg. In the martial arts world, there are not only the ancient sages of Daxia, heroes in the epic myths of Western fighters, but also ancestors of Posuo heart cultivation, who also live in the [Kingdom of the Courtyard] and [Posuo River] respectively. They call the ancient sages [Heroic Spirits]..."

King Zhenbei patted Lu Chenzhou on the shoulder.

"Let's go, I'll take you to the Taiji Palace."

……

Pavilions, towers, incense burners and tripods.

The Taiji Palace was deserted.

The chanting sound that Lu Chenzhou heard came from here. An old Taoist was fanning himself in front of the alchemy furnace.

"This junior has met Mr. Ge Xian Weng."

Lu Chenzhou saluted.

The Taoist priest did not reply.

"Ge Xianweng studies the Dao of Alchemy here all day long. I have never seen him speak since I took control of the Heavenly Man Ranking."

King Zhenbei led Lu Chenzhou and continued forward.

Finally, they saw a slovenly Taoist priest, who was Zhang Zu, who was sitting with his chin in his hand, looking up at the sky and thinking.

Zhenbei Tianwang stood in silence.

Lu Chenzhou also waited quietly.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhang Zu spoke slowly.

"My friend is here."

"Junior has met Zhang Zu."

"Yes, we have indeed met before. You are the first younger generation that I, an old Taoist priest, have met after crossing thousands of years."

Listening to the conversation between the old and the young, the Heavenly King of Zhenbei was stunned. The Heavenly Man List was a treasure that only appeared after the Rebuilding the New Heaven Plan was launched. Before that, although martial artists could see the sages through the Dao Yun illusion, they could not communicate.

Listen to Zhang Zu's opinion.

Did they have a conversation earlier?

Only by branding the Heavenly Man List and entering the Martial Realm with one's will can one communicate with the sages. How did Lu Chenzhou do it?
Inside Taiji Palace,

The old and the young talk about the past and present and imagine the future.

……

one year later.

Yuanshan Cave Heaven.

"hold head high!"

The dragon roared through the heaven and earth, and a golden dragon shadow flashed by. A figure walked out of the cave, his muscles were well-proportioned and slender, his veins were like those of a dragon, and he was full of power. More than 40,000 powerful blood and qi were steaming, and with his breath, the grass, trees, bamboo and stones all rose and fell and trembled, like a god.

"Hiss..."

The Black Water Snake surrendered to this figure, and it instinctively felt a sense of suppression from its superior bloodline.

Like a snake seeing a dragon!

Brother Tiger stood on the stone. Although he was not suppressed by his bloodline, the invisible dragon power was truly terrifying.

“A year goes by so fast.”

After finishing his retreat, Lu Chenzhou felt his body was renewed, with faint scales emerging on the surface of his muscles.

"True dragon body!"
