Chapter 456: The First Steps in Moving Mountains (Requesting Double Monthly Tickets)
After returning from the martial world, Lu Chenzhou refined the dragon blood coral and began a one-year retreat.

The dragon blood tempered his body, allowing his Qi and blood to grow much faster than usual. With the blessing of the top-grade mineral veins, his Qi and blood continued to rise. In just one year, it climbed to 48,000.

His acupoints also officially entered the middle realm, and his star energy transformed, with the quantity and quality surpassing those before. It has only been three years since he entered the Grandmaster stage, but his strength has changed dramatically.

He looked at the black water snake crawling on the ground.

"Get up."

The dragon power emanating from the True Dragon's body is a natural nemesis to snake-like beasts. Even snakes with a higher realm than him will be afraid before facing him.

"I wonder if it will work on the snake demon?"

The Divine Blood Demon Clan is different from the exotic beasts. It is another system. Lu Chenzhou plans to test it out later.

Lu Chenzhou looked towards the place where his master was in seclusion.

He immediately withdrew his gaze.

"Congratulations, Junior Brother, your strength has improved further."

Mr. Turtle walked towards us from the void.

"Big Brother, these exotic beasts of mine haven't caused you any trouble, have they?" Lu Chenzhou asked with a smile. He moved his parents, Brother Tiger, the Black Water Mystic Snake and some important elders of the sect to the cave to enjoy their old age.

"Hahaha, no, it's pretty good. The cave is much more lively than before." Mr. Turtle was in a good mood. "The dragon blood treasure you refined is very precious in the Great Wilderness. It is something that the ancestors of the Heaven Realm are fighting for. However, it is difficult for you to feel its beauty at your current level. You will understand it when your strength improves. The true dragon physique, combined with the Father-raising Fruit, will also help you practice the "Mountain Moving Sutra"."

"I also clearly felt that the speed of practicing the Moving Mountains Sutra has become faster, and it is natural for me to break through to the second level." As he spoke, Lu Chenzhou raised his hand, and a sharp, steep, thick and heavy mountain hundreds of feet high appeared out of nowhere.

This is not an ordinary mountain. It is entangled with wisps of the aura of [Ultimate Power], representing the strongest power in the world. No matter how many supernatural powers you have, you can break it with one force!
Mr. Turtle was slightly stunned.

"Um, have you mastered it?"

No, he just said it casually... The dragon blood treasure is indeed helpful for the practice of "Moving Mountains Sutra", but the effect is not enough to allow a person to practice the first level within three years.

Mr. Turtle didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He felt that the fundamental reason was that this junior brother was a natural born supreme seed. As for the dragon blood treasure, it was only icing on the cake.

He is in a very good mood at the moment.

“Although the power of a mountain is only comparable to the fourth realm, but with your original horizontal training body, your pure physical strength should be enough to rival the fifth realm beasts. There are not many human practitioners in the fifth realm who can stand shoulder to shoulder with you.

But this is only the beginning, keep up the hard work and cultivate the power of Nine Mountains. You don't need any real energy or any skills. Just relying on your ultimate strength and your physical body, you can kill the Demon King.

If you can possess the [Power of the Eight Desolations], even if you are facing the Red Lotus Demon Lord himself, you can rely on absolute strength to suppress him. Although the Red Lotus Demon Lord has a perfect body, he is far inferior to the ancestor in terms of ultimate strength.

Junior brother, remember this!

The enemy we are facing is the evil gods in the forbidden area. They have different abilities. As the disciple of the ancestor, you must become an all-round warrior without weaknesses. Otherwise, even if you step into the realm of great power, it will be difficult to compete with the gods. Wanting to protect civilization is just wishful thinking.

The physical body can give you the most basic power to protect yourself in any environment and under any rules."

"Thank you for your warning, senior brother." After breaking through the barrier, Lu Chenzhou chatted with his parents for a while and then left the cave.

……

Yuanbao Mountain.

"What? Three years to reach the first level?"

The spirit soldiers widened their eyes, not daring to imagine.

Mr. Turtle smiled proudly and said, "I still underestimated him. I thought it would take five years, but it turned out to be only three."

Qiang Er Niang's heart was moved and her eyelashes trembled slightly.

"Perhaps, following him is also a good choice. Let's wait a little longer. If he can create a sixth-level spear combat method within ten years, I will recognize him as my master."

Yuan Shenzi sighed: "Tsk tsk, with such a great talent for strength, it's better to practice stick skills than spear skills."

Obviously, it was also a little moved.

In Tiandou Sect, stick techniques are the mainstream.

After all, the War Emperor also uses stick techniques.

……

2250 2 Month 1 Day.

There is still half a year until the Wanbang Martial Arts Conference.

The organizing committee issued a notice that the competition system will undergo a major reform. The original four lists of Tiandi Xuanhuang will remain unchanged, while the [Top 100 List of All Nations] and [Number One List in the World] will be changed to the [Heavenly List].

There are only one thousand people listed in the Heavenly List, and any grandmaster can sign up. Those who meet the requirements of comprehensive strength and past battle record will be automatically included in the list. Comprehensive strength also includes magical weapons.

After all, starting from the Grandmaster level, the magic weapon is almost a part of the martial artist's body and is no longer considered an external object.

The List of Heavenly Beings is a long-term list, but it is calculated every ten years. Those who rank in the top 1000 can receive blessings from the will of the Xia world in the dark, and their lifespan can be extended by twenty years.

Those who rank in the top 500 will obtain the "title of Heavenly Man" on the Heavenly Man List, have their life span extended to three hundred years, and will condense a "Heavenly Man Martial Spirit" within the Heavenly Man List, allowing them to live forever after death.

Those who rank in the top 100 will be favored by the will of the Xia Realm and qualified to perform a simulated performance of the will of the Xia Realm. This will be of great benefit for their advancement to the Heavenly Realm. It is said that as long as their comprehension is normal, their success rate can be increased by %!
In addition, it can prolong life by four generations.

The top ten celestial beings can challenge the Heavenly King Zhenbei, and the winner will inherit the treasure, the List of Celestial Beings!

Top ten, extending life by five generations!

The new master of the Heavenly Ranking also needs to accept challenges from others before completely refining the treasure. If he is not worthy of the position, he will naturally be eliminated.

After the war, the Heavenly Ranking was closed.

In addition, two new lists, [Catalogue of Divine Weapons] and [Catalogue of Demons], were added. The former is the ranking of divine weapons, and the latter is the demons that pose a greater threat to the Xia Realm.

There are two ways to improve your ranking on the Heavenly Man List. One is to challenge the one in front of you. The other is to improve your realm and the quality of your magic weapon. You can get promoted through actual combat, slaying demons and other achievements. In short, it is a comprehensive way. When the announcement came out, the whole nation was shocked.

"The Heavenly Man Ranking?"

“That sounds amazing.”

"The Ten Thousand Nations' Top 100 has become a thing of the past. Any Grandmaster can compete for the list of the Thousand Strongest in the Xia Realm?"

"There are more than 500 Heavenly Kings in the world today. To be on the list, one must have at least the final stage of Grandmaster cultivation, right? Unless one has a divine weapon or enlightenment."

"The world will be lively from now on."

"Extending one's life span by sixty years, condensing an immortal martial spirit, or even increasing the success rate of breaking through the seventh level... any one of these is enough to drive some hidden masters crazy. Those demons and monsters will also have to worry about being hunted down all the time."

"The next hundred years will surely be an era of heroes rising up and thousands of ways competing against each other. The heyday of martial arts is coming!"

"I never thought that my Xia Realm still had such a treasure. I never thought that the ancient sages really had spirits in heaven!"

"With Master Zhang above us, who dares to claim to be invincible?"

……

Galaxy Wuhan University.

Wan Tiankong's eyes were burning.

"I'm here, I'm finally here! Compared to when I first became a Grandmaster five years ago, I'm much stronger. Yue Bufan, Bao Daohu, Mo Quan... How are you guys preparing?"

As for Lu Chenzhou… Although Wan Tiankong also wanted to challenge him, he knew that the gap between the two sides was too big and there was really no comparison. His target was the older generation.

He has no rivals among young people.

……

Wudang Mountain.

“The List of Heavenly Beings has finally appeared. Junior brother, you must practice hard and strive to be promoted to Grandmaster within ten years.” A man with gentle eyes and wearing a purple Taoist robe stood on the top of the mountain. Next to him was Hong Tianxiang, who had just reached the last stage of his life.

"I wish that Senior Brother will be among the top 100 gods and men."

This Taoist priest in purple robe is the eldest disciple of Taoist Xuanwu. He has practiced Taoism for eighty years and has reached the level of a Heavenly King. He is a genius of the older generation and is even stronger than him.

Wudang, Master Zilong.

……

whirling.

"Teacher, with the blessing of the Heavenly List and the help of Lu Chenzhou, it should be almost certain that you will break through the seventh level after sixty years, right?" Meng Zhihuan was very excited.

The matchmaker of the heart smiled and said, "A sixty-year period?"

She knew intuitively that she didn't need to wait that long. After the small world trial, she was more confident in her vision.

……

"The Heavenly Man Ranking? Now that I have mastered the fusion flow, I can condense six rounds of Qi and Blood Suns. It's time to leave Silver Eagle. There is no challenge here. Let's go to the East."

On this day, Dumont handed the fighting gym to his eldest disciple Worcester and walked barefoot towards the distant East. He wanted to use his iron fists to beat all the monsters and demons along the way!
Then, he tested Xia Tianjiao with a fist.

Finally, defeat Lu Chenzhou!
Looking around the world, among his peers, only Dijialou and Lu Chenzhou can catch his eye, but it's a pity that the former is missing.

……

On this day, thousands of grandmasters in the world became agitated, including many old antiques who had lived for two or three hundred years and practiced in seclusion. They might not have much talent, but their true strength had been accumulated for a long time and was terrifying.

……

Suzhou City, Vientiane Road.

The lamplighter's office.

“I’m so excited. Although it has nothing to do with us, I get goose bumps when I think about Brother Lu going to march forward and suppress a group of old guys.”

Bai Miaomiao was beaming with joy.

After a while, Lin Xia came in.

"Chen Zhou, I have mastered the locations of 23 branches of the Ancient God Church in the Jiangnan region, spread across the five major base cities around Yunmengze. The largest branch is located in the ruins of the former Jinling Old City. The elder is Gu Qianqian. These are basically all the church forces in Jiangnan. We can close the net now. We must act at the same time, otherwise they can rely on special means to sense it and quickly flee."

"Gu Qianqian?"

Lu Chenzhou raised his brows.

This woman was one of the culprits who had Lu Fang exiled. Over the years, under the crackdown by the parliament, other people were executed one after another, and only Gu Qianqian and Tang Zhe remained at large.

"This woman was successfully promoted to elder, comparable to a grandmaster. Wang Hongdao's death is also closely related to her."

"Gather all the Grandmasters and Lantern Masters in Jiangnan area and start the action. Senior sister, you and I will go to Jinling."

……

Old city of Jinling.

"Master Ming, are you really going to abandon the foundation we have worked so hard to build in the Jiangnan region?" Gu Qianqian looked at the black-robed shadow in front of him with a puzzled look.

"The Ancient God Church is a thing of the past. Facing the relentless pressure from Daxia, the original missionary work can no longer be carried out normally. It is better to cut off one's own tail, fake death and be reborn, and carry out the subsequent work with a new face."
