Two Realms High Martial Arts: Gathering the Heavens to Become a Great Luo Immortal

Chapter 139 Imperial Martial Arts Competition

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

During this time, Li Xijun went out to the National Martial Arts Masters Association to discuss martial arts with various martial arts masters and Martial Saints.

He would wander around the capital almost every day.

I've tried everything from the famous eight famous restaurants to the local street food stalls, including the famous braised tripe.

Unfortunately

For ten whole days, no force dared to make a move against him.

In particular, the Church of the Goddess of the Night, which Li Xijun was most looking forward to and which was most skilled at assassination at night, was completely unmoved by his repeated attempts to create openings.

This patience was unexpected by Li Xijun, who even wondered if the church had changed its nature.

But regardless, with the end of the tenth day's competition for spots,

On the morning of the day the imperial martial arts competition was held before the emperor entered the Forbidden City,

Li Xijun, one of the five from the Eastern Continent, arrived at the gates of the Forbidden City amidst the watchful eyes of many onlookers.

This time, he didn't need to push the door open himself.

The gates leading to the palace had already been opened early.

Even the National Martial Arts Masters Association and the important officials present had already entered the main hall for the competition and were waiting.

Now, the five people selected, including Li Xijun, are entering the hall in a grand and ceremonial manner, following the proper etiquette.

"Since the martial arts were widely opened up, there have been many more martial saints in our Great Sheng Dynasty, and they are all much younger."

"That's right. Look at them, these four are all only in their early thirties on average. They are truly young and promising."

"Not to mention, an eighteen-year-old martial arts master actually appeared this year."

"Wow, this is quite a sight!"

Although they couldn't enter the Forbidden City, the common people who couldn't resist coming to join in the fun were still having a lively discussion.

When Li Xijun arrived, he initially found the conversation somewhat strange.

I always felt that these martial arts masters in their thirties, all dressed quite maturely, were...

I felt very awkward listening to those so-called "young and promising" words.

But upon closer examination, the Martial Saint's blood transfusion grants him a lifespan of two hundred and twenty to two hundred and thirty years.

A martial arts master in his thirties is a top genius even in the entire Dasheng region.

If it weren't for this "World's Number One Martial Arts Tournament of the Eastern and Western Continents", it's unlikely that these four could have been gathered together.

"I have long admired your reputation, Benefactor Li, and seeing you today, I can confirm your extraordinary charisma."

Among the four promising young martial arts masters, one was dressed as a white-robed monk, exuding a compassionate air and possessing an excellent appearance.

After he met Li Xijun, he was the only one who took the initiative to come over and greet her.

"This humble monk, Fa Hong of Da Chan Temple, greets you."

"You're too kind, Master. I've long admired the Great Zen Temple. It's a great honor to witness Buddhist martial arts today."

Li Xijun responded politely.

Although the most famous of the three religions are the cultivators who refine their spirit.

However, many martial arts techniques have been passed down in Buddhism and Taoism in China, and both religions have many martial arts disciples who roam the martial arts world.

The Subduing Demon Fist and Vajra Palm techniques of Dachan Temple are indeed quite famous in Dasheng City.

Li Xijun had heard about this when he was learning martial arts from Zhang Fuhu.

The two chatted casually, praising each other, and seemed to be having a good time.

As for the other three, they also achieved the Martial Saint title at a young age.

But judging from their appearance, they must have been raised by powerful and wealthy families.

They all possessed a strikingly similar aloofness, befitting young prodigies in their thirties who had achieved the status of martial saints.

Each person focused on regulating their breathing and concentrating their spirits without speaking, simply waiting to enter.

About fifteen minutes later,

"Buzz buzz buzz~~~~"

The sound of the horn was the first to be heard.

Immediately following this was a grand drumbeat.

Countless banners almost obscured the entire sky, and the army's flags tangled together in the wind, fluttering loudly.

Finally, a dense swarm of armored soldiers suddenly emerged, guarding the city gates, the city walls, and even the passage leading to the central hall of the Forbidden City.

Clearly, this is the entrance ceremony performed at the official start.

And after all this is done,

Sure enough, several carriages appeared on the other side of the city gate and drove up to the gate.

A middle-aged gentleman, carrying a cane, wearing a black silk top hat, and somewhat overweight, stepped forward and politely nodded to everyone present.

The woman who was following closely behind was hidden in a black robe, and she was inconspicuous.

As the two people who appeared to be the team leaders entered first,

Four men in their thirties and one rather thin young man appeared in the carriage behind.

Although these five people have different appearances and heights, when they look at Li Xijun and his group of five, they almost all show contemptuous expressions as if it were an instinctive habit.

The thin, blond-haired boy lingered on Li Xijun for a moment before giving him a bright smile.

only,

For the perceptive Li Xijun, however, he could sense the deep malice emanating from the other party.

"Interesting. Is this the legendary son of the God of War?"

According to the Western Continent's potion system.

Only a very few geniuses, chosen by the gods from birth and able to absorb magical potions instantly without any backlash, can be called divine children.

It is said that such people will be able to become Sequence 2 angels in the future.

As for Sequence 1, it depends on whether there is space available. If there is, Sequence 1 is said to be not difficult.

Information about this subject came to mind.

Li Xijun couldn't resist the urge to try and see what kind of impact killing a divine child today would have on the Church of the God of War.

I don't know when,

The Forbidden City, where a cold wind blows.

The flags were fluttering in the wind.

At the entrance formed by countless armored soldiers at the city gate, the atmosphere among the ten people from the East and West continents became tense.

The deep, murderous aura that seemed to condense into water made the entire city gate extremely quiet.

until

"Summon five individuals from both the Eastern and Western Continents to the Emperor for a martial arts contest."

Grandpa Hua's shrill but highly resonant voice carried from afar.

This broke the previously frozen atmosphere.

All five men simultaneously withdrew their gazes, each keeping their eyes fixed straight ahead, and followed the path left by the armored soldiers, crossing the plaza and ascending the white marble steps.

We entered the magnificent and imposing Imperial Hall.

The entire hall was paved with smooth, shiny black tiles, and enormous red pillars supported the vast hall.

now,

The civil and military officials in the hall were already seated in two rows.

Representatives from the Dasheng Fist Intent Martial Saint and the Seven Gods Church were also seated on both sides.

As the ten people entered the center of the main hall...

Li Xijun finally saw the current emperor of the Great Sheng Dynasty.

Coincidentally, almost the instant Li Xijun entered the palace, the old emperor's gaze never left him.

Their eyes met, and Li Xijun looked away, pretending to be serious.

But at that moment, a tremendous storm was raging within the old emperor's heart.
