Chapter 129: Advancement to Xiantian
The Lord of Martial Arts was thinking to himself: "If it were the Guardian Martial Saints from surrounding vassal states coming to visit, they would certainly have sent a letter of introduction beforehand. Vassal states of the same rank wouldn't possibly be so rude. Unless... unless it's during wartime between two countries... like the current war with the Hundred Yue State..."
Thinking of a certain possibility, the Martial Saint's heart moved. Could it be a congenital strong person from the suzerain state? Or even a congenital strong person from an enemy country of the Dalo Empire, the suzerain state?
The intuition of the Innate Expert made him aware that the newcomer was not benevolent. The man had clearly entered with hostile intentions. Who was he targeting? Was it to assassinate the Emperor of Baiyue or deal with this Innate Martial Saint himself? In any case, as an Innate Martial Saint, he could not stand idly by and do nothing.
The other party's move is innate, so the solution must be the result of the interaction between the two innates. If this Guardian Martial Saint doesn't make a move, no one in Baoyue Country can withstand that Innate, wouldn't it let him run amok in Baoyue Country?
He left a hint of his pre-heavenly aura at the foot of Wu Sheng Mountain, and then immediately retracted all his pre-heavenly aura, suppressing it to the point where it was completely undetectable.
In other words, that person is not a sly and cunning guy. After showing off his skills, he didn't leave any clues behind, making it impossible for this innate martial arts saint to get a hold of him.
In the Redwood Palace, King Redwood had already prepared a secret room for Lian Yujin to rest.
Lü Wuji received the extremely evil order from his master, and he was also extremely angry. Firstly, he had great respect for his master, and if someone dared to ruin his master's affairs, the face of this eldest disciple would also be affected; secondly, letting him run thousands of miles to a subordinate country was a waste of his cultivation time. Therefore, he now had a belly full of pent-up anger, waiting to go back to his hometown to kill wildly, and then return triumphantly to the Extremely Evil Sect.
Akagi felt the powerful aura of the Innate, serving him with caution and care, personally inquiring about his well-being, and attending to his needs meticulously. To say nothing of this guest from the Main Clan's country, just based on his Innate identity and aura alone, this prince from a subordinate nation didn't have any capital to put on airs at all.
Innate and acquired, differ by a single line. But this line, has cut off the possibility of countless martial artists advancing further. This is a difference of heaven and earth, separated by a single line.
Secular powers, there are not a few masters who have entered the Ninth Stage of True Martial Realm. But those who can truly enter Xiantian are hard to find even in hundreds of miles. Li Wuji's face was gloomy and he asked coldly: "Akamatsu King, when do you plan to set off?"
"Hui Lie Gongzi, Little King plans to set out tomorrow."
"Hmm, you go ahead and lead the way. I'll follow your auras and catch up with you along the way. So, the Tiao family is preparing for a wedding, huh? Heh heh, perfect timing, more people to kill!"
That's right. Just one by one.
"What's wrong?" Lei Wuji's tone had a hint of displeasure.
"Just let Xiao Wang stay in Baiyue for a while, and when Lijunzi kills someone, don't expose Xiao Wang." Chi Mu Wang said cautiously.
"I'll kill him if I must, no need for idle chatter."
Akakawa Ou felt a slight relief after hearing that. Now, he could finally relax and enjoy the show. Recalling the scene where a pre-heavenly strong expert had gone on a killing spree in the Piao Family Village, Akakawa Ou felt an inexplicable thrill deep within his bones, and his blood was almost boiling over.
At night, the Martial Saint was in a state of unrest. He couldn't calm down and instead used all his might to stir up his innate power, feeling the subtle fluctuations. He had to sense the location of that innate expert, so as to determine his whereabouts. Suddenly, the Martial Saint's heart moved, and he faintly sensed a thread of fluctuation. From the eastern part of the country of Yuè, within the Redwood Kingdom! The Redwood Kingdom?
The Great Martial Saint's mind turned quickly, and he immediately thought of something! A name suddenly popped up in his mind - Qin Wushuang! Was it targeting Qin Wushuang?
Thinking of this, the Martial Saint could no longer sit still. If it was aimed at Qin Wushuang, whether it was to undermine his foundation or deal with him directly, neither situation would be allowed to happen.
The results of Wu Tong's trial have already been submitted. If something unexpected happens at this time, it will be a devastating blow to the Baiyue Kingdom.
Losing the opportunity to promote vassal states is nothing, but being unable to report to superiors, for Baiyue State, it may be an irreparable abyss.
We must stop them!
The Lord of Martial Arts had an idea, gathered all his disciples and ordered: "During this period, all the disciples of Wusong Mountain will be closed, if there are external forces invading, if there are strong pre-heavenly ones, they will retreat uniformly, not allowed to resist hard."
The multitude of disciples all assented.
The Lord of Martial Arts finished his handover and floated down the mountain, hurrying in the direction led by King Chòu. Along this road, he had to suppress his innate aura; otherwise, the other party would sense his approach, and who knows what changes might occur again.
In front of the cave on the steep cliff of Mount Tai, Qin Wushuang arrives every day as scheduled. This period is very fulfilling for Tai Wushuang.
Every day, he would sit quietly in the cave on the cliff, contemplating the Tao. Faintly, Qin Wushuang had a subtle feeling of natural awareness. It was an inexplicable, unspeakable mystical sensation. A sense of intuition from nature. "Perhaps this is what Master Wu Sheng meant by 'pre-heaven'?" Qin Wushuang still found it hard to believe. Because he had learned from Master Wu Sheng that in order to enter the pre-heaven, he must have gone through the trial of breaking through the pass! Pre-heaven?
Qin Wushuang silently chewed, with the palms of his hands facing upwards and his five fingers slightly raised. He felt this strange situation around him.
At this time, Qin Wushuang's body had already completed several cycles of circulation.
As if there was a very mysterious power inside the body, stirring and about to burst out at any moment.
The power of the straight stock is different from internal energy and any other kind of energy in the past. It's not the true Qi of Yang fire, nor is it any other Kung Fu method.
But a natural and sudden emergence, as if a monster that had been dormant in his body all along suddenly woke up, rampaging inside him. Like a wild horse, it struggled constantly, trying to break free from the reins that bound it. Qin Wusuo's right middle finger shot out involuntarily. Hiss!
A sharp, piercing sound, like the screech of a night owl, shot out. Accompanied by a red glow that was almost visible to the naked eye, it shot forward. Boom!
This red light shot out, and coincidentally, a group of bats were flying and fluttering in front. This red light burst forth from the void, within a distance of twenty to thirty meters, along a straight line, more than ten bats instantly exploded like they had been struck by a destructive force, completely pulverized into a bloody rain! Qin Wushuang's mouth was left agape in shock.
Estimated distance, should be about twenty meters away. This casual gesture of pointing with the head, although it implies the middle thrusting sword intent of "Tian Mai Ning Jin Sword", but it shouldn't be exaggerated to this extent, right?
In front of this cave mansion, Qin Wushuang practiced the "Tianmai Ningjin Sword", from the sixth-grade virtual sword to the hand, although it can also achieve air attack.
But the piercing distance will not exceed five meters, and the force is absolutely not so exaggerated. It's even more impossible to bring out a substantial red mangosteen with quality and shape!
This faintly red sword intent, clearly already in the fifth stage of the "Heavenly Veins Condensing Sword", actually a real sword! How did it suddenly come out with a real sword?
Qin Wushuang still remembered that the "Tianmai Ningjin Sword" was an unparalleled technique, and in his past life, those ancient martial arts masters had never cultivated it to the fifth rank of Real Sword Realm!
It is said that only by breaking through the limits of acquired skills and entering the realm of innate swordsmanship can one hope to wield a fifth-grade real sword. Is this true?
Qin Wushuang's eyes revealed a look of wild joy, recalling the incredible encounters of the past few days. Although he didn't dare to be overly optimistic, deep down, he had already vaguely felt that he might have really broken through into the Innate Realm! If it wasn't for the Innate Realm, how could his entire demeanor change so drastically? If it wasn't for the Innate Realm, how could he feel a transformation within himself like a rebirth? If it wasn't for the Innate Realm, how could he actually practice the "Heavenly Pulse Condensing Sword" to produce a real sword?
If it wasn't innate, how could he attack a target twenty meters away with undiminished killing power?
Still remember, at the beginning in Wusong Mountain, Wusong's master revealed that one hand of innate skill. Ten meters away, a casual strike, destroyed a stone bench! And his own previous strike, apparently had a similar subtlety to Wusong's master!
Congenital?
Qin Wushuang carefully pondered the two words, and the concept of innate suddenly became clear. A kind of epiphany that seemed to be destined to be so, suddenly appeared clearly in his mind. Innate, indeed it was innate. All sorts of signs were proving this point.
And as for the so-called "breaking through the pass", he indeed had not experienced it. But Qin Wusuo knew that he absolutely could not be misled by this procedure, earlier, his thinking had always been wrong, believing that without breaking through the pass, it was impossible to enter the Innate.
It's clear that all of this is related to the mysterious encounter on the first day I arrived at the cave entrance. That five-colored light has never appeared again! But Qin Wushuang can almost be certain that the mystical baptism he experienced, which was like a dream, must have been the booster that helped him enter the Pre-Heaven stage!
Qin Wushuang slowly stood up, with a joyful color overflowing in his eyes. Xiantian, this was the realm he had been longing for as a human being for two lifetimes. But unexpectedly, without realizing it, he had broken through to it.
Moreover, the more ridiculous thing is that after entering Xiantian, he was still in a dream-like state until this moment when he truly realized this point. Of course, he also knew that this was not because he was insensitive or neglectful.
That magical experience on the first day should have been just a baptism, and the congenital signs were not obvious. After so many days of precipitation and consolidation, the congenital mechanism in his body finally took shape slowly, reaching a mature state of ripeness. Innate!
Qin Wushuang thought of this, and suddenly a thousand heroic emotions were born in his heart! He entered the pre-heavenly realm, like a dragon entering the sea, like a fierce tiger advancing into the mountains. From now on, he could gallop freely across the vast ocean, and soar freely through the high skies. From now on, his world would become more expansive, and everything within his field of vision would become even more magnificent.
