I forged swords at Lingjian Mountain.

"I understand..."

At this moment, Xiao Tianjun, whose entire body was filled with endless lightning and who had a lightning mark between his eyebrows, suddenly realized what was happening.

The moment it merges into this lightning mark.

He then fully understood how to become one of the Ten Celestial Beings.

This mark contains not only immense power, but also a portion of the aura of the Ten Celestials.

But based on this mark alone...

It is not enough to directly qualify one of the Ten Celestial Beings.

Instead, more imprints are needed.

Then, we will collect and integrate more of these imprints.

Ultimately, one can become one of the Ten Celestial Beings!

The reason why this mark has such an extreme attraction to all innate martial artists is that it makes them forget everything and only have the thought of seizing it in their minds.

This is because the aura carried by these marks possesses a primordial aura that is completely irresistible to innate martial artists.

All the innate martial artists saw it.

Everyone would go crazy for it!

"If that's the case..."

"Possessing this mark is tantamount to becoming the common enemy of all innate martial artists!"

"Now anyone who sees me will try to snatch the mark from my hand."

Xiao Tianjun narrowed his eyes slightly.

Even considering his status and position.

Even now, possessing this mark is useless.

If he were to appear before other innate martial artists now, he would inevitably be attacked and surrounded by them.

In this regard.

Xiao Tianjun immediately reported this news to the King of Cang Kingdom through his unique method.

"I see……"

The King of Cang Kingdom suddenly realized something.

This is the way to become one of the Ten Celestial Beings...

It was indeed somewhat unexpected for him.

However, this approach is extremely disadvantageous for them.

Their advantage originally lay in the fact that all innate martial artists could be under his command.

He could make all the other innate martial artists submit to Xiao Tianjun, and first make Xiao Tianjun one of the top ten celestial beings.

However, the fatal attraction brought by this [Celestial Imprint] makes it impossible for these innate martial artists to unite and rally together.

Even if he strictly forbids others from attacking Xiao Tianjun now, it's useless.

These innate martial artists, upon seeing Xiao Tianjun bearing the lightning mark, would inevitably forget everything and instinctively try to seize it.

This also means that all innate martial artists who possess the mark...

They can only become one of the Ten Celestials by relying on their own abilities.

There is absolutely no possibility of them joining forces or cooperating.

Only by relying on oneself can one become one of the Ten Celestial Beings!

Fortunately, the King of Cang Kingdom had great confidence in Xiao Tianjun's strength. He reasoned that with Xiao Tianjun's strength, even if he could only fight one-on-one, he was the most promising candidate to become one of the Ten Celestials among all the innate martial artists on the Cang Kingdom's side.

"Next, you need to find a way to hide yourself and not show yourself easily."

"I will arrange for these innate martial artists to break through and condense this Heavenly Man Mark."

"At that time, all you need to do is go to their breakthrough point."

"As soon as someone completes the condensation of the Celestial Imprint, you must immediately seize it."

The King of Cang Kingdom said in a deep voice.

anyway.

His immediate priority is to help Xiao Tianjun become one of the Ten Celestials.

Let's secure a spot among the Ten Celestial Beings first.

Although this approach would turn other innate martial artists into tools for Xiao Tianjun, with the power of the Cang Kingdom's ruler, he could easily force some innate martial artists to make such sacrifices.

Xiao Tianjun nodded.

The way in which this "imprint of heaven and man" is now being formed is quite unique.

The two energies that need to be absorbed must be in a state of complete balance in order to condense such a [Celestial Imprint] during the breakthrough.

To some extent.

Xiao Tianjun himself can also condense this kind of [Celestial Imprint].

However, if something goes wrong along the way, it may prevent him from becoming one of the Ten Celestials.

To be on the safe side...

It would be better to directly seize the [Heavenly Man Mark] condensed by other innate martial artists.

Immediately.

The King of Cang Kingdom immediately began to arrange for these innate martial artists to condense the [Heavenly Man Mark].

However, it takes a considerable amount of time to condense this kind of "celestial imprint," and it cannot be accomplished in a short period of time.

at the same time.

The innate martial artists in Wu'an County have gradually realized that condensing the [Celestial Imprint] is the key to becoming one of the Ten Celestials.

This has put many people in a dilemma.

Like Xiao Tianjun, they all dared not rashly condense the [Celestial Imprint] themselves.

The risks involved are too great!

Furthermore, once one has condensed the [Celestial Imprint], one will immediately become the target of all innate martial artists.

They were besieged by all the innate martial artists.

Especially those innate martial artists who are not the strongest.

Once the [Celestial Imprint] is formed, it will become the target of everyone's scramble, and like the previous innate martial artist, it will be bombarded and killed by many innate martial artists the moment it is successfully formed.

In the end, it will only benefit others.

In this regard.

Besides the innate martial artists who began to gather under the arrangement of the Cang Kingdom's ruler.

Although the other innate martial artists were all eager to try, none of them dared to attempt it lightly.

"This can't go on!"

Ambitious innate martial artists from various factions were all getting restless.

If no one is willing to condense the [Celestial Imprint], then none of them can become one of the Ten Celestials.

"Someone needs to gather the [Celestial Imprint]."

Cao Qian is the most powerful innate martial artist from the [Lie Cang Army].

A sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

They directly located a group of innate martial artists from Wu'an County, led by the county magistrate.

"I'm giving you two choices now."

"First, I will torture you to death, bit by bit! At the same time, I will exterminate all your relatives, friends, and anyone you know, leaving no one alive!"

"Second, condense the [Celestial Imprint] for me. If you successfully condense the [Celestial Imprint] for me, I can swear a solemn oath that I will protect your relatives for the rest of my life and ensure that they enjoy wealth and honor throughout their lives."

Choose.

He coldly regarded these innate martial artists.

In this regard.

The county magistrate and all the other innate martial artists were ashen-faced, their hearts filled with immense grief and indignation.

They all originally thought that with the appearance of the Celestial Monument, they had hope of turning the tide.

Once one becomes one of the Ten Celestial Beings, one can transform into a dragon.

But I never expected it to end like this.

It can be said that the other side is now giving them two paths...

Their deaths were already predetermined!

There is no chance of survival!

Once the [Celestial Imprint] is formed, it will only be destroyed and stolen by the opponent.

In a short time.

They were all trembling, finding it hard to accept.

"I don't have much time left..."

"You'd better think this through!"

Cao Qian's voice was icy cold.

he knows.

Under the current circumstances, we have no choice but to force some innate martial artists to condense the [Celestial Imprint].

They were with other innate martial artists from the same faction.

They were all people with a certain status and position.

It is difficult to force them to condense the [Celestial Imprint].

Even the ruler of the Cang Kingdom could only order people of relatively low status and background to unite.

It would be as if the ruler of Cang Kingdom ordered Cao Qian to condense the [Celestial Imprint].

Cao Qian would not agree to that either.

therefore.

The most suitable candidate to unite the [Celestial Imprint].

These are the local innate martial artists of Wu'an County.

They all have some kind of attachment here, and can use the people around them to blackmail them.

Moreover, Cao Qian was very clear about this.

We must strike first in this matter.

Once other forces realize what's happening, they will definitely come to seize these local innate martial artists from Wu'an County.

Currently, they are under threat from Cao Qian.

Although the prefect and others were filled with grief and indignation.

But there were no other options.

Even if they don't agree, they will be killed by these people.

In terms of strength...

They were no match for these people no matter what.

Resistance is pointless.

However, if some other breakthroughs occur during the process of condensing the [Celestial Imprint]...

Perhaps, there's still a chance to survive!

In this situation, no one would stubbornly refuse.

Even if they have no ties in Wu'an County, they would still choose to condense the [Celestial Imprint] at this time and try one last gamble.

And this...

This was precisely Cao Qian's calculation.

Although he knew that these people would become very powerful after their breakthroughs, and that unexpected situations might arise.

But he had to force them to come together.

Only in this way...

Only then would he have the opportunity to become one of the Ten Celestial Beings.

Otherwise, no one in the entire Wu'an Prefecture would bother to condense the [Celestial Imprint], and no one could become one of the Ten Celestials.

Many innate martial artists, after understanding the conditions for becoming one of the Ten Celestial Beings...

They have already begun to choose whether to break through to become a Martial Dao Celestial or a Martial Saint, and leave this place.

They had already realized that the waters here were very deep...

If we continue to stay here...

Not only is it difficult to become one of the Ten Celestial Beings, but it is also easy to become a stepping stone for others.

They may subsequently be threatened by other innate martial artists.

They were forced to condense the [Celestial Imprint] into them.

In this situation, they chose to leave in time.

Even if one cannot become one of the Ten Celestial Beings, breaking through to become a Martial Saint is still a great gain and a great fortune.

However, those who hold this view are ultimately a minority.

Most of the innate martial artists who come here still harbor the ambition to become one of the top ten celestial beings.

They were unwilling to give up.

Even the weakest of the seven factions, the Golden Eye Alliance, harbored the ambition to become one of the Ten Celestial Beings.

Now that these forces have realized that they can forcibly coerce the local innate martial artists of Wu'an County to condense the [Celestial Imprint].

They all began plundering the local innate martial artists of Wu'an County within their respective territories.

"I remember……"

"Is there a force called Lin Jiancheng around here?"

The three innate martial artists, led by the Golden Eye Alliance, thought of Lin Jiancheng in their region.

They originally didn't care about Lin Jiancheng, a small force in Wu'an County...

After all, a force that even the barbarians of the Northern Barbarian Territory couldn't handle wasn't worth their attention.

But in the current situation...

Lin Jiancheng has undoubtedly become an extremely important resource in their eyes!

They believe.

Even if they don't take action, other forces will find ways to come here and seize the innate martial artists of Wu'an County.

These innate martial artists in Wu'an County are arguably the most attractive resource to them right now.

"Now, this Linjian City has become the territory of the barbarians in the Northern Barbarian Territory."

"If we had asked for people in the past, those barbarians probably wouldn't have agreed."

"I'm not worried about not being able to deal with these barbarians, I'm just afraid that you'll use too much force and hurt them."

"These barbarians are an extremely important part of the king's plan..."

"No matter what, we must not hurt them."

"So... when you go to ask for them later, you have to be careful how you act."

The leading innate martial artist solemnly instructed.

"clear."

The other two innate martial artists nodded in agreement.

All the forces that have come here know that the barbarians of the Northern Barbarian Territory are very important.

I have always deliberately avoided them.

Avoid conflict with them.

Now that they are going to seize the innate martial artist from Lin Jiancheng, they will inevitably have to fight with the barbarians of the Northern Barbarian Territory.

We must carefully consider the circumstances under which we make our move.

They weren't worried that the barbarians of the Northern Barbarian Territory would fight to the death for Lin Jiancheng's innate martial arts.

These barbarians have a different cultivation system.

The current changes in the landscape of Wu'an Prefecture have no impact on the barbarians of these northern territories.

Therefore, they would not fight to the death for a mere few innate martial artists.

In their view...

Once we use overwhelming strength to intimidate these barbarians from the Northern Barbarian Territory, they will know to back down.

Immediately.

The three of them rushed to Linjian City that very day.

They soon arrived outside Linjian City.

Looking at this dilapidated and ruined city.

The leading innate martial artist couldn't help but frown.

He couldn't help but think...

Could such a dilapidated city not even have a single innate martial artist?

It would be terrible if there were no innate martial artists here.

"Let's go in and take a look."

They flashed by.

They charged straight into Lin Jian City.

However, one of them had only just approached Lin Jiancheng and hadn't even entered the city yet...

puff! !

A dark shadow suddenly flashed in front of him.

He hadn't even seen the dark figure clearly yet.

I felt an indescribable tearing pain throughout my arm.

next second.

His entire arm had already detached from his body!

"What...is this!?"

The innate martial artist's eyes widened.

The other two innate martial artists beside him also felt a chilling wind sweep past them.

At the same time, he turned around and looked.

A blurry, humanoid black figure appeared behind them, with an arm in its mouth.

"What is that?!"

They were all shocked.

The humanoid black figure was discovered to be a strange entity composed of black mist.

It's hard to tell if they're real humans.

At the same time, this black fog caused them great discomfort.

It seemed to be something they had heard of but never encountered before... a black calamity!

"How come there's a Black Disaster here!?"

They were utterly shocked.

Logically speaking...

The black calamity has long since disappeared from Wu'an County.

Why here in Lin Jiancheng...?

Is there still a suspected black disaster?

Moreover, this black calamity humanoid was extremely powerful; with a single flash, it instantly tore apart the arm of this innate martial artist.
