Xiuxian, I have a high martial arts world

Chapter 216: The first martial god in human history! (Two in one)

The entire Blue Star is a slaughterhouse filled with monsters.

For Lin Chen, this was undoubtedly a huge subversion of his worldview.

The worldview built up over the past decades seemed to collapse and overturn in an instant.

It was as if the whole world had fallen into illusion...

Lin Chen glanced at Wang Lishan, who also smiled bitterly and said:

"I don't believe it, but I just found out about this..."

Mr. Lu glanced at him and said:

"In fact, I am not qualified to know this. Only those who are stronger than the Martial King and have entered the third realm of martial arts are qualified to know..."

"but……"

Mr. Lu glanced at Lin Chen and said nothing more.

Obviously, the influence of cultivating immortals on Daxia and even the entire human race is growing.

As a result, Wang Lishan's status became higher and higher in the power circle of Daxia, and he was able to know such important matters.

Lin Chen thought about it, and finally asked:
"So, if we want to break the barrier outside the Blue Star... we can only drive away or kill the monsters?"

Before Mr. Lu could answer, Max said:

"If the monster is not killed... the barrier will not dissipate, there is no doubt about it!"

"Unless, a powerful person who surpasses the God of War is born among the human race!"

Lin Chen looked at Mr. Lu, who sighed and said:

"Three hundred years ago, the ten strongest warriors of the human race united, broke through the shackles of the first martial realm, and touched the invisible barrier outside the Blue Star."

"However, no news came back..."

"Those ten strongest men seemed to have completely evaporated. One of them even included the strongest warrior in human history..."

"...A powerful warrior of the Martial God level!"

Hearing this, Lin Chen was shocked.

God of War!

The human race actually gave birth to a martial god-level warrior!
A Martial Emperor like Elder Lu is already comparable to the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

This is an existence that Lin Chen cannot fathom at all...

How powerful will the God of War be?
And even such a powerful God of War...was unable to break through that barrier and didn't even send back any news?

Elder Lu looked at Lin Chen and sighed:

"I see that person in you."

"No, you are more amazing than he was back then, and you even have stronger potential!"

"Perhaps, you can really lead the human race to break through that barrier..."

"Perhaps, then one needs to surpass the strength of the God of War."

After hearing this, Lin Chen remained silent.

He is still too far away from the realm of Martial God.

Lin Chen, who had just entered the Martial King level, didn't have too many ideas.

He just wanted to survive in the world of immortal cultivation and become stronger.

As for how strong I want to become...

At this moment, Lin Chen seemed to have the answer in his heart.

……

Qingzhou, an underground city.

Lin Chen walked out of the small courtyard where he was staying temporarily and came to the market town.

At this moment, the sky was just getting light and there were few monks walking on the road.

Many monks in groups of three or five walked out of the place of romance, returning to their residences drunkenly, supporting each other.

Occasionally, a diligent monk would get up early and set up a small stall on the roadside.

"Daoyou, would you like two freshly baked lotus leaf cakes?"

At this time, a peddler pushed a cart and passed by Lin Chen.

Qi-refining monks are not yet qualified to practice fasting, so there are many monks and vendors in the city selling spiritual food for their practice.

Lin Chen was about to refuse, but saw the vendor directly wrapped two pancakes and handed them to him.

While he was still stunned, the vendor pushed his cart away again.

They shouted along the way: "Freshly baked lotus leaf cakes, moist and nourishing, and delicious."

"Huh? I don't think I've paid yet!"

Lin Chen blinked and was about to chase after him, but suddenly he felt a hard object wrapped in the lotus leaf cake in his arms.

After a quick glance, it was a jade slip.

Lin Chen's face changed slightly and he returned to the small courtyard where he was staying temporarily.

After closing the door, Lin Chen took out the jade slip and examined it carefully.

There are some mysterious patterns engraved on this jade slip, which seem familiar.

"Hmm... Is this a message from Junior Sister Jiang?"

Lin Chen suddenly thought of something and took out the mother-and-child sound transmission jade.

The patterns on the sound-transmitting jade are almost the same as those on the sound-recording jade slip.

Monks often use jade slips to transmit messages to each other, and carve special patterns on the slips to make it easier to identify each other's identities.

"So, what message did Junior Sister Jiang leave behind?"

Lin Chen's heart moved, and his spiritual sense probed into the jade slip.

The next moment, Jiang Liqian's voice was heard.

"Brother Lin, it's been a while since we last met. How are you doing?"

"I heard that you have left Changchun Gate and are going to travel to Daocheng. You have escaped from the vortex of the devil. Junior sister, congratulations again."

"I am currently staying in Tiandao City, and I also want to go to Wendao City. If you come to Tiandao City this year, you can meet me and go to Wendao City together..."

"I currently live in..."

Lin Chen listened to the contents of the recorded jade slip.

After confirming that there was no secret code in the jade slip and it was just a simple greeting, Lin Chen held his forehead and thought.

"It has been several years since I last saw Junior Sister Jiang..."

"After she left Changchun Gate, I think she also traveled in Qingzhou... But this time she contacted me, maybe it was not just a simple greeting after not seeing each other for a long time."

"Otherwise, there wouldn't be any need to specifically ask the monks to conceal the message..."

Lin Chen thought silently.

During the past twenty years of practice, Lin Chen owed Jiang Liqian several considerable favors.

I never had the chance to go back...

Perhaps this is the time to return the favor.

Thinking of this, Lin Chen smiled bitterly.

"You will pay for what you have done sooner or later!"

"If possible, of course I hope to practice till the end of time... but this is obviously not realistic."

Lin Chen shook his head.

Fortunately, after his martial arts realm was promoted to Martial King, Lin Chen had more power to protect himself.

Apart from anything else, at least in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, Lin Chen has few rivals.

"According to Master, we should be able to reach Tiandao City within a month."

"When the time comes, I can just travel with Junior Sister Jiang."

Lin Chen looked up at the sky. It was already noon and the sky was bright.

Lin Chen then returned to his room to practice the Changchun Jue.

After entering the Nascent Soul stage, the growth rate of mana slowed down a lot.

Even if Lin Chen possessed the Soul-Devouring Root, he would probably still need two or three years of practice to enter the second stage of the Nascent Soul.

……

A month later, he temporarily lived in the small courtyard.

It was just getting dark.

"Chen'er, are you awake? We have to leave the underground city today!"

Outside the house, Han Jihai's voice was heard.

Lin Chen slowly opened his eyes. He had just returned from the high-level martial arts world.

"coming!"

He responded and pushed the door open to see Han Jihai and the other two in the courtyard.

Looking around, Lin Chen felt a little emotional.

It has only been a few months since Li Zhenqian and Zhou Tieshan came to the underground city, but they have gained a lot of weight.

Especially Zhou Tieshan, his face looked even rounder.

For the two people who had not left the vicinity of Yanlai Territory for more than ten years or even decades, being in this underground city was like seeing the world.

Over the past few months, Li Zhenqian and Zhou Tieshan have become good friends.

I ate and drank every day and tried all the delicacies in the city.

I guess he's also been involved in prostitution and gambling...

"Junior Brother Li, Junior Brother Zhou... I heard from Miss Chun'er from Fengya Tower that you haven't been home for a week?" Lin Chen asked.

After hearing this, Li Zhenqian said disapprovingly:

"Brother Lin, you practice hard every day and don't leave this small courtyard... I'm afraid it's not good for your state of mind!"

"You should go to more elegant places to cultivate your sentiments... only in this way can your cultivation be solid!"

After hearing this, Lin Chen glanced at him calmly and said:

"Oh, I'm not far from the late Jindan stage... I should be able to break through within half a year."

Li Zhenqian's eyes widened when he heard this. He was shocked and lost his mind...

"Damn it, I can't let myself become so depraved after we get to Tiandao City! The gap between him and me is getting bigger and bigger..." There seemed to be fire burning in Li Zhenqian's eyes.

Lin Chen felt slightly proud when he saw this. It seemed that Li Zhenqian would have to work hard for a while.

Looking up at Zhou Tieshan again, he avoided looking at Lin Chen.

"Senior Brother Lin..."

In Zhou Tieshan's heart, Lin Chen is a person more worthy of admiration than his master Han Jihai.

Seeing Zhou Tieshan's worried look, Lin Chen sighed helplessly.

"Hey, you better stop hanging out with Li Zhenqian. It's not good for you."

"I understand, senior brother!" Zhou Tieshan nodded repeatedly, feeling a little relieved.

Zhou Tieshan entered Changchun Gate since he was young and has never left for more than ten years.

I've been living a boring life for a long time and this is my first time visiting such a prosperous fairy city.

In addition, Zhou Tieshan had obtained a considerable amount of spirit stones before, so it would be unreasonable for him not to be dazzled by the prosperity of this fairy city.

Lin Chen also understood this, but it was better to avoid such things.

"Cough cough."

At this time, Han Jihai cleared his throat, acted like an elder, and coughed:
"Chen'er! Both of your junior brothers know they are wrong. I will definitely supervise them more closely from now on."

After hearing this, Lin Chen looked at Han Jihai with some resentment.

“Master, you still have the nerve to say that…” Before, Lin Chen asked the master to find his two junior brothers.

As a result, Han Jihai was not found.

Instead, he got together with the proprietress of Fengyalou...

The proprietress of Fengyalou is a cultivator who has reached the perfect stage of foundation building.

Although he is over fifty, the monk ages slowly, takes good care of himself, and practices the art of seduction.

That made Han Jihai crazy.

As a result, the truth was revealed.

The boss of Fengyalou was a fake alchemy monk. After learning that he was framed, he came over angrily.

If it weren't for the intimidation of Han Jihai's Jindan cultivation, it would have been a fight to the death.

"Ahem, it's getting late, let's get going!"

Han Jihai saw something from Lin Chen's eyes, his old face turned red, and he spoke quickly.

"Ugh……"

Lin Chen sighed and shook his head, without dwelling on it too much.

After all, he is his master, and I have to give him face no matter what.

So, the group left the Underground City early and headed towards the Heavenly City.

The closer we got to the heart of Qingzhou, the better the public security was.

During the 30,000-mile journey from Didao City to Tiandao City, the four people did not encounter even a group of robbery cultivators.

The journey was smooth and unobstructed, which was in stark contrast to when we first left Changchun Gate.

……

Seven days later, Tiandao City.

The four people successfully entered the city and obtained temporary residence permits.

They first found an inn to stay in, and the next day they rented a small courtyard.

According to Lin Chen's plan, he would have to stay in Tiandao City for at least half a year.

Renting a small courtyard to live in temporarily is cheaper, and more importantly, it is much more convenient.

After everything was settled, Lin Chen came to the disciple mentioned in the jade slip.

This is a large two-story house.

The location is a bit remote, but it is rarely disturbed by people.

Lin Chen knocked on the door of the mansion and walked in when he saw that it was not locked.

As soon as you enter the mansion, you will see a large courtyard.

There are several ancient osmanthus trees planted in the yard, and a few spirit fish in a small pond.

Under the osmanthus tree, a graceful figure was sitting on a stone bench, playing Go.

It’s Jiang Liqian!
Jiang Liqian was wearing a blue and white dress with her black hair hanging down naturally.

Sometimes he frowned in thought, and sometimes his brows relaxed.

"Junior sister Jiang."

Lin Chen felt a strange emotion in his heart and shouted.

Jiang Liqian looked up and noticed Lin Chen, and said in surprise:

"Brother Lin, you are here?"

Lin Chen walked a few steps to the osmanthus tree and suddenly noticed the figure of an old man under the tree.

The old man was dressed simply, his face was wrinkled, and he wore a hood that half of his face was hidden in shadow.

The aura around his body is not noticeable, as if it has merged into the air.

Lin Chen didn't notice it when he first saw it.

"Brother, this is Elder Yang, my protector."

Jiang Liqian's eyes flickered as she explained.

"Mr. Yang, Senior Brother Lin and I haven't seen each other for a long time. Can we be alone for a moment?" Jiang Liqian asked in a low voice with a very polite attitude.

"Yes." Old Yang nodded, paused slightly, and left the courtyard.

Seeing this, Lin Chen blinked and said with a smile:
"Junior Sister Jiang is indeed from a very profound background... This Elder Yang's cultivation is truly unfathomable..."

Jiang Liqian did not answer directly after hearing this, but took a golden cake from the stone table and handed it to Lin Chen.

"Brother, please try it first. This sweet-scented osmanthus cake was made by me personally. It should taste pretty good..."

Lin Chen took the osmanthus cake, took a bite, and praised:

"Junior sister is really skillful. This sweet-scented osmanthus cake tastes sweet and delicious."

"Brother, if you like, you can take two more boxes back. The osmanthus cakes made last year have not been finished yet. The osmanthus flowers this year will bloom again in a few months..." Jiang Li said with a sweet smile.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen looked up at the osmanthus tree. In a few months, it would indeed be the season when the osmanthus flowers would be in full bloom.

At this time, Jiang Liqian put away the chess pieces on the stone table one by one and asked:
"Brother, can you play hand-to-hand?"

Lin Chen looked at the black and white chess pieces in front of him and thought of the game he had played against that strange old man in Wendao City several years ago.

He nodded slightly and said:
"Yeah, I know a thing or two."

Jiang Liqian's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he praised:

"Very good, then, Senior Brother, are you willing to play chess with me?"

Lin Chen thought about it and nodded in agreement.

The game of Go requires careful consideration of three steps before making any move, and is an elegant activity that many monks enjoy.

There are even stories about cultivating immortals that record people who entered Taoism through playing Go, which adds a bit of mystery to the game.

Especially since monks have a long lifespan, each game of Go is very different, making it very suitable for activities among monks.

Lin Chen was not a Go genius, but he had played Go with that strange old man for several years.

He is also proficient in chess.

Therefore, when playing chess with Jiang Liqian, Lin Chen did not use the artificial intelligence algorithm.

About an hour later, Jiang Liqian frowned slightly as he looked at the white piece that was already in a dead end.

"Brother, can you please let me go first?"

Lin Chen nodded, then waved his hand to restore the chess game.

Then he handed the black piece to Jiang Liqian.

The game starts over again.

It rained for several hours until it got dark.

Jiang Liqian looked at Lin Chen, with a hint of resentment in her eyes.

"Brother is obviously very good at hand talk, this is at least the level of a hand talk master... Why did you deceive me?"

We played five or six games in the afternoon.

Jiang Liqian didn't win a single game.

There is a big gap in the Go skills between the two.

Lin Chen gave a bitter smile when he heard this. He really didn't know that his chess skills were quite good.

After all, before this, he had only played with that weird old man.

However, Jiang Liqian's chess skills made Lin Chen feel like a beginner.

Not to mention being better than that weird old man, he is not even one-tenth of Lin Chen.

Lin Chen thought for a moment and said:

"Actually, I'm not very good at playing chess, and I don't know what the layout is... I just play a lot, and I can calculate a few more steps."

Jiang Liqian's eyes became even more resentful when he heard this.

After a while, Jiang Liqian took out a box of osmanthus cakes.

"Brother, it's getting late... I'll visit you again tomorrow."

"If you have time later, can you come and play chess with me?"

Lin Chen nodded upon hearing this and asked:
"When does Junior Sister plan to leave Tiandao City?"

Jiang Liqian thought for a moment and said:
"Wait until the osmanthus flowers have fallen, make some new osmanthus cakes, and then leave."

Lin Chen nodded upon hearing this and said:
"Okay, I guess we'll leave at that time too. Want to travel with us then?"

Jiang Li smiled and agreed.

……

Long after Lin Chen left, Jiang Liqian was still staring at the chess game in a daze.

At this time, Old Yang appeared behind Jiang Liqian.

“Young Master, that Lin Chen…hid his cultivation.”

Jiang Liqian nodded after hearing this. She was not surprised.

"Mr. Yang, what do you think Senior Brother Lin's true level of cultivation is now?"

After hearing this, Mr. Yang thought for a while and said:
"I can't see through his specific cultivation..."

"However, I think he is at least an eighth or even ninth level golden elixir... and his spiritual awareness is extremely strong, otherwise he would not be able to find me."

Jiang Liqian smiled and said:
"Oh? Then what does Elder Yang think of... Senior Brother Lin?"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Yang fell into deep thought.

He has always been by Jiang Liqian's side and has noticed Lin Chen since the first time Lin Chen and Jiang Liqian met twenty years ago.

However, they had only met briefly and had not conducted any detailed investigation on Lin Chen.

At that time, Lin Chen was just a small Qi-refining cultivator.

Having grown all the way up to now, my cultivation speed cannot be said to be amazing.

But it was very smooth and stable...

Until recent years, even Old Yang could not see through Lin Chen.

After a long silence, Elder Yang whispered:

"If this boy had not died, he would have had a place in Qingzhou in the future..."

Jiang Liqian smiled and said:

"But it's not that simple... In my opinion, Senior Brother Lin is like a hidden dragon in the abyss. Once he gets lucky, he will surely soar into the sky."

"Perhaps, Senior Brother Lin will be the one who decides the fate of Qingzhou in the future."

After hearing this, Mr. Yang was a little surprised. He was optimistic about Lin Chen.

But I didn’t expect Jiang Liqian to think so highly of Lin Chen.

Deciding the fate of Qingzhou...this is something that even Master Huashen cannot do!

"Haha, young master really thinks highly of Lin Chen." Old Yang reserved his opinion on this.

Jiang Liqian looked at the progress of the Go game on the stone table and felt determined.

She knew Lin Chen's spiritual root aptitude very well.

Soul-devouring root!

But even the third stage of the Soul Devouring Root might not be able to bring about Lin Chen's current level of cultivation.

Therefore, in Jiang Liqian's opinion, Lin Chen must be hiding a bigger secret.

"Perhaps, it is a certain True Lord who has reincarnated and rebuilt?"

Jiang Liqian thought silently in her heart.

"Mr. Yang, I plan to take Lin Chen to that place..."
