From being plagued by all kinds of diseases to becoming a powerful martial arts demon god!

Chapter 122 Relics

Three days later.

"call……"

In the martial arts room, Jiang Heng completed his martial arts training for the day.

The feedback force transformed from the power of disease and decay is gathered into the proficiency of "Burning Heaven".

All sorts of experiences and memories related to "Burning Heaven" flooded his mind, as if he had been diligently practicing this martial art for decades or even centuries...

Jiang Heng wiped the sweat from his forehead and opened the panel.

[Martial Arts: ...Burning Heaven (Proficiency 60%)]

We've finally broken through to 60%...

Jiang Heng nodded in satisfaction.

The difficulty of cultivating "Burning Heaven" is probably far beyond that of ordinary top-tier martial arts.

Moreover, the difficulty increases as you progress, and you can discover more subtleties in the seemingly ordinary flow of Qi.

That 5% improvement in proficiency took him three days to overcome.

Fortunately, he finally broke through, and the increase in combat power after reaching great success was also considerable.

In close combat, the combat power he can unleash is likely enough to easily crush a late-stage level 5 martial artist.

At this time.

The phone screen suddenly lit up; it was a message from Uncle Chen.

[Uncle Chen: Jiang Heng, I'm back in the provincial capital. Do you have time now? Let's go out for a meal.]

Jiang Heng immediately picked up his phone and typed a reply.

[Jiang Heng: Okay.]

Uncle Chen then sent him the location address.

Jiang Heng turned and left the martial arts room, returned to the bathroom to shower, and changed into clean clothes.

They then left the special operations battalion and headed to where Uncle Chen was.

Uncle Chen gave Jiang Heng two thousand yuan as emergency funds when he first came into this world, for which Jiang Heng was still grateful.

Moreover, Jiang Heng was also curious about the origins of this original owner's uncle.

Therefore, it wouldn't hurt to meet him.

……

Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan Province, in the Eighth Ring Cultural and Educational District, a restaurant in the clouds.

Despite its name, "Cloud Top," the restaurant is actually quite down-to-earth.

The decorations and furnishings were all rather ordinary.

Because of its proximity to the university town, many of the people eating at the restaurant are students.

Jiang Heng glanced around and spotted several martial arts students from Tianfu University.

In his early twenties, he had already reached the fourth level of physical body cultivation, displaying an astonishing aura and enjoying the admiring gazes of others.

If it were six months ago, when Jiang Heng was still working at the Nanjiang City Urban Management Bureau, he might have been quite envious of these martial arts prodigies.

As for now.

These martial arts students from Tianfu University combined probably wouldn't be a match for him...

Jiang Heng glanced at it once and then looked away.

After asking the front desk for directions to the private room, I went up to the second floor and pushed open the door.

Uncle Chen, dressed in a simple plaid shirt, had a somewhat aged and dark-skinned face.

He doesn't seem like a professor at Tianfu University; he's more like an old farmer who works the land every day.

"Uncle Chen." Jiang Heng nodded to him.

"Ah Heng..."

Uncle Chen looked up at Jiang Heng and exclaimed, "You've grown so tall..."

"Come, come, sit down and talk."

After breaking through to the fifth level of physical body, Jiang Heng's height increased again, now approaching 2.1 meters.

To ordinary people, he is like a giant, like an iron tower.

Jiang Heng smiled, then pulled out a chair and sat down.

"I truly never expected that Old Chen would have this ability to give birth to such a martial arts genius as you..."

"That's great, that's great, it's a source of pride for the family..."

Uncle Chen looked concerned and asked Jiang Heng a lot of trivial questions about his life.

Jiang Heng patiently responded to each question.

The restaurant dishes were laid out on the table one by one, and the two ate and chatted.

After a moment, Jiang Heng asked curiously, "Uncle Chen, where have you been all this time?"

Uncle Chen was slightly taken aback and hesitated for a moment.

He thought for a moment, and finally said:

"I shouldn't have said that, but since you've already become the leader of the special operations battalion of the Military Security Department, it wouldn't hurt to tell you..."

"You can think of my work as archaeology, the purpose of which is to find a site of celestial beings in the border region of Chengdu."

Jiang Heng was slightly taken aback: "A celestial relic?"

Now that he's at his level, he has a much better understanding of Tianmen.

And the celestial beings are the powerful lives behind the Heavenly Gate.

Two hundred years ago, the Heavenly Gate opened, and the Celestials, known as the "Red Moon Clan," came to Earth through it.

These celestial beings who arrived were few in number.

But even the weakest among them had a physical body at level eight, making them no match for Earth two hundred years ago.

As a result, some people regarded them as gods, defected to the Red Moon Clan, and became the Red Moon Clan's agents.

Meanwhile, another group viewed the Red Moon Clan as invaders and rose up in resistance, thus opening the path of martial arts for the human race.

What followed was a century-long period of chaotic warfare.

Ultimately, for various reasons, the Red Moon Clan temporarily withdrew, leaving through the Heavenly Gate, and the World United Government was subsequently established...

The latest novel is first published here!

Uncle Chen nodded and continued:

"Based on the data collected over the years, we have discovered..."

"A hundred years ago, a severely injured expert from the Red Moon Clan, who was at the Divine Realm, came to Earth through the Heavenly Gate of Australia."

"However, when the Red Moon Clan withdrew, this heavily injured Divine Treasure Realm expert did not leave with them..."

Jiang Heng raised an eyebrow slightly, surprised.

A Divine Realm expert?

He still remembered the terrifying shadow he saw when he took the Tribulation Fire True King Seed.

And that Calamity Fire True King is a being belonging to the Divine Treasury Realm!

Such a powerful being actually came to Earth through the Heavenly Gate?!

Uncle Chen continued:

"In the same year, over eastern Asia, the sky suddenly wailed, the earth trembled, and blood covered the entire sky."

"More importantly, after that day, someone discovered... the Dao seed of the Red Moon Clan in East Asia."

Jiang Heng's pupils contracted.

The Tao Seed is the result of the divine consciousness of a powerful person in the Shenzang Realm after his death!

The appearance of a Dao Seed in East Asia means that a powerful expert at the Divine Treasure Realm has died in Asia!

Uncle Chen said, "Therefore, some people have always suspected that the Divine Realm expert of the Red Moon Clan died in eastern Asia."

"After years of investigation, we speculate that the location where this powerful expert died should be in the border area between Sichuan and Thailand/Myanmar..."

Jiang Heng immediately asked, "Has it already been discovered?"

Uncle Chen shook his head with a wry smile:

"How is that possible? If it were really that easy, the remains of this Divine Treasure Realm expert would have been unearthed long ago."

"It's just that the Thai-Myanmar region has been too chaotic lately, and the Thousand Gu Alliance could arrive at any time."

"That's why our archaeological team had to withdraw early..."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Heng's heart stirred slightly.

Legend has it that every inch of flesh, bone, and even divine thought of a powerful being in the Divine Realm after death is a rare and precious elixir.

If I could get a few points... I'm afraid I could soar to great heights!

Thinking of this, Jiang Heng shook his head inwardly.

A powerful person from the Shenzang realm fell in the Tianfu area.

Such things are ultimately just legends from a hundred years ago, too fantastical and likely not true...

He composed himself and continued chatting with Uncle Chen, inquiring about the discoveries made during the archaeological work.

……

Time passed slowly.

An hour later, the food and drinks on the table were all gone, and the cups and plates were in disarray.

Jiang Heng also enjoyed the conversation quite a bit.

He also learned a lot of secrets from Uncle Chen over the past two hundred years.

Jiang Heng thought for a moment, and was about to take his leave.

At this time.

A sharp, piercing sound suddenly cut through the air!

A tiny glint of light shot out from the private room window at an extremely tricky angle, striking Jiang Heng with lightning speed!

The speed was so fast that Jiang Heng only had a split second to react.

But if he avoids this moment...

The dark light would pass by him and hit Uncle Chen right next to him!

Jiang Heng suddenly reached out with his right hand and grabbed the dark light.

The dark light pierced his palm, and a thick, black liquid spread from his hand, rapidly engulfing his entire body.

It turned out to be an unknown, highly toxic substance!

Jiang Heng suddenly looked up at the window, his icy gaze almost murderous.

"court death!"
