Chapter 432 A God-Sent Opportunity

January passed quietly, like a babbling brook, amidst the trivialities and glories of meeting old friends, planning for the future, and adapting to the identity of a saint.

Inside the new residence of Qingquan Chunhui Palace, Li Xijun sat alone on the stargazing terrace.

The night sky was clear and the Milky Way was vast, but his light seemed to penetrate the surface of this universe and reach into a deeper realm.

The noise has subsided; it's time to seriously consider the road ahead.

Achieving the Martial Saint title and standing at the pinnacle of the Human Federation and even this known star field is by no means the end, but rather a broader and more uncertain starting point.

"After the Martial Saint—where does the road lead?" Li Xijun unconsciously traced faint dark paths in the void with his fingertips, his thoughts churning.

Through brief exchanges with several seniors such as Wind Saint and Flame Saint, he had already understood the current state of the human race's martial arts system—the Martial Saint was the undisputed pinnacle.

Even the seven saints, including the most senior and recognized as the strongest, the Wind Saint, are only groping their way forward on this "path to the summit".

They accumulate more abundant spiritual power, deepen their understanding and control of their own laws, and try to imprint the laws more deeply and use them more skillfully. Perhaps there are differences in strength and realm, but there is no essential breakthrough in the major realm.

The road ahead seemed shrouded in a thick fog, with no clear texts to guide us, no predecessors to follow, and we could only rely on our own insights and chance encounters to struggle through the darkness.

"In comparison————"

Li Xijun's gaze deepened, and the magnificent history and heritage of the martial arts world surfaced in his mind. "Over there, the path to 'True Immortal' and even higher realms after 'Dharmakaya' is difficult, but at least there are clues to follow."

He recalled the ancient legends circulating in the world of martial arts, that glorious era when spiritual energy surged and the Great Dao manifested:

The ancient Thunder God wielded the power of thunder, punishing evil on behalf of Heaven; the Night Emperor roamed the starry sea, his power unfathomable; the founder of the Feathered Gate ascended to heaven in broad daylight, leaving behind the legacy of an immortal; Xia Yu, who created the "Emperor's Dragon Fist," even ascended to the throne of the Human Emperor—

These are all "immortal" level beings who have clearly surpassed the "Dharmakaya" level!

Their lineage, relics, and even the possible lingering Daoist principles all point to a relatively "complete" path of upward ascent.

road.

"In the main world, it's more like pioneering on a barren wasteland, with an uncertain future; while in the martial arts world, there was at least a glorious peak of civilization, leaving behind vague road signs leading to the summit and possibly some remaining mountaineering tools."

The scales in Li Xijun's heart had already tipped.

He seeks eternal transcendence and absolute power, and naturally prefers the "path to immortality," which, although equally treacherous, has a clearer direction and potentially a deeper foundation.

Of course, this does not mean that he will completely abandon the path of the main world.

From fragments of the memories of Orog, the Pantheon's king, he glimpsed only the tip of the iceberg of this universe—

Beyond the vast expanse of the starry sky, the "greater universe" connected by those mysterious wormholes must contain higher levels of power and forms of civilization.

The terrifying being who easily erased the glorious civilization of the Pantheon with just a single descending will, and who called himself the "True Immortal of the Blood Sea," is clear proof of this.

That power was far beyond that of ordinary martial saints, and absolutely no less than that of a "true immortal" in the general sense of the martial arts world.

"Two worlds, martial arts and immortality, seemingly with vastly different systems, but ultimately they both seek to touch the very essence of the universe."

The ultimate goal is to "control the supreme rules of the Dao." The existence of the Blood Sea True Immortal might, in a sense, represent a convergence of different paths.

.

Li Xijun's eyes sharpened. "The upper limit of the main world is definitely not just Martial Saint; it's just that we haven't found the right key yet, or—this star field itself is, in some sense, a shallow area."

After careful consideration, the situation gradually became clear.

Primary goal: To break through the Dharma Body Realm in the martial arts world, and use this as a springboard to absorb the legacy of the ancient immortal path in that world, and steadily and systematically advance towards the "True Immortal" or even a higher realm!

This is the most feasible "upward path" he can currently find.

A secondary but absolutely essential goal: to resolve all previous grievances.

Thinking of this, Li Xijun frowned slightly, assessing the power structure of the main world.

The Human Federation now boasts eight saints, making it incredibly powerful, but its strength attracts unwanted attention.

The Blood Kun World, the Anagard God Clan, the Sea Spirit World, the Crystal Cluster World, the Insect Nest World—these alien civilizations, possessing emperor-level beings, will never sit idly by and watch the human race expand indefinitely.

Secret alliances and maneuvering have likely already begun. If I were to seek revenge against God-King Otto for the assassination attempt on the Blood Kun World now, other powerful alien races might seize the opportunity to launch an attack, or even unite to intervene, escalating into a multi-party interstellar war.

This is not in the overall interest of the human race, nor can it be easily controlled by him alone.

More importantly, there are those two specific formidable enemies:

Mimir, the Cyclops King, is at the peak of the Law level!

Based on Orog's memories and the immense power of destiny and cause and effect he displayed, his strength is probably even a notch above that of the Wind Saint, firmly standing at the top of this star field.

Although he had just entered the Martial Saint realm, with a solid foundation, profound original dark laws, and innate divine abilities such as the "White Dragon Power," Li Xijun was keenly aware that while innate divine abilities might allow one to fight beyond their level at lower realms, at the level of laws, every small step was like an insurmountable chasm.

The "White Dragon's Power" now primarily makes him exceptionally powerful and has a deeper foundation among those in the same realm. However, it would be quite difficult for him to kill a peak being who has been immersed in the realm of laws for countless years and controls the strange power of destiny and cause and effect with just this power.

The same applies to the Emperor-level Blood Kun.

The monster hid in the core of its mythical world, the Blood Sea, almost merging with the world's origin, giving it a huge home-field advantage. Moreover, its "evolution" and "blood path" laws endowed it with abnormal vitality and regenerative ability.

Even when Wind Saint and Flame Saint attacked together, they couldn't kill him.

Li Xijun's attempt to completely eliminate a being of the same level within the opponent's stronghold would be extremely difficult, unless he possessed overwhelming strength or—had a special means to restrain its world's origin.

"In the main world, it will be difficult to achieve a decisive victory in the short term, and breaking the deadlock will be challenging. Defeating experts at the Law Realm is easy, but killing them is truly difficult."

After drawing his conclusion, Li Xijun's gaze immediately turned to the "door" leading to the world of martial arts deep within his consciousness.

"But—in the world of martial arts, the situation is quite different!"

A cold and sharp smile appeared on Li Xijun's lips.

According to his estimate, the martial arts world is still several months away from a "great change in the world," a full recovery of spiritual energy, and a complete adaptation of rules to higher-level powers.

Until that moment arrives, the world's "upper limit" and "tolerance" are still limited by the rules of the old era.

The "Dharma Body" experts there, though possessing profound realms, are bound by the heavens and earth and cannot unleash their full power. While their combat strength can overwhelm martial artists below the Dharma Body level, they are far inferior in combat power when facing Martial Saints of the same realm.

And Li Xijun is now a true martial saint who has mastered the "Original Dark Law"!

His physical body had first cultivated to the Nine Revolutions Vajra level, and then underwent a qualitative change after being tempered by Martial Saint-level laws. Thus, comparing the two...

"Isn't this—a golden opportunity from heaven?!" A cold light flashed in Li Xijun's eyes, and a long-suppressed desire for revenge and the crushing of the weak, the most direct thoughts of a martial artist, rose up.
