High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late

Chapter 657: Chapter 440: After Sunrise Tomorrow, the Military Department’s Unstoppable Rise, Alliance Envoys! (Part 2)

Later, someone even managed to capture the dim Martial Saint Tower on camera. Of course, this was intentionally allowed by the Military Department, and the information was even sold by the Dark Department themselves.

What does the dim Martial Saint Tower imply?

They knew very well!

In an instant, the pupils of the high-ranking members of the other six top forces in Huaxia experienced a tenth-level quake, and all the top forces stayed restless throughout the night.

That night, countless teacups were shattered, and countless chair armrests were broken.

How heavy was the weight of a demon capable of a Reverse Slash against a Martial Saint? They knew better than anyone.

Even more astounding is that...

Such a person capable of a Reverse Slash against a Martial Saint wasn’t another Martial Saint, but merely a young man just in his thirties!

Boom--------

The unprecedented shock left top forces in a prolonged stupor, reminiscent of a mythical demon from a millennium ago.

Even today, the world does not know his name, and history books even debate that person’s gender.

That person’s name has been passed down to this day, known as the Human Great Sage.

A millennium later, it was as if they were witnessing history, witnessing the emergence of a second Human Great Sage, who then rose to become the Strongest.

"Once the sun rises tomorrow, the Military Department will be unstoppable..."

A high-ranking member of a top force couldn’t help but sigh, as they all understood one thing.

After tonight...

The Overlord Blade Lineage will exit history, but Huaxia will still have seven top forces, only the structure will undergo drastic changes. After three hundred years, the Military Department has risen again, and will likely reach the pinnacle!

Su Mu’s name will undoubtedly be recorded in history, opening a grand Chapter in bold strokes.

It won’t take long for this name to become a household name, celebrated by the billions in Huaxia.

Then...

This terrifying earthquake will spread from Huaxia, sweeping across the globe in an instant, and Su Mu’s name will be known by martial artists worldwide. Top forces globally will face this earthquake incited by Huaxia’s Su Mu.

...

In the land of South China, hidden deep in the clouds is Peach Blossom Mountain.

The priest in the temple was visibly moved, as the teacup and tea set before him disintegrated into dust in an instant, then drifted out of the temple with the wind.

"The Overlord Blade has fallen? So it was the Overlord Blade who acted that day..."

"An Eighth Level Martial Artist’s Reverse Slash against the Martial Saint of this world!"

"And it was the Reverse Slash that activated the Overlord Blade of the Martial Saint Tower... Demon, truly a demon..."

After the shock, Qingfeng sank into a long silence, the temple finally echoed with a faint sigh.

"Everything in the world has cause and effect. It seems it was destined that I could not take Su Mu as a disciple that day. Indeed, such a true dragon cannot reside in my small Peach Blossom Mountain..."

"However, that girl, as well as Qingli, are fated with Su Mu, so at least there was no enmity..." Qingfeng lifted his right arm, looking at the withered, faintly black-tinged limb, and fell into deep thought.

...

"What’s this, Drunkard Elder?"

The sound of a crisp Silver Bell echoed in the mountain stream. A little girl tilted her head in curiosity, examining a piece of Purple Jade in her palm, feeling the warm and rich Spiritual Qi from it.

Additionally, faint coolness flowed into her body, clearing her Sea of Consciousness.

"Did your master never tell you about this thing? Well, this thing is Energy Purple Jade."

Upon hearing, the girl tapped on the instrument on her wrist, seemingly wanting to search for relevant information.

"Don’t waste your time; not even the Martial Arts Association’s Armory has much information on this Energy Purple Jade."

"This is the known crystal with the highest concentration of Spiritual Qi on the planet, and the name Energy Purple Jade comes from the Alliance; I guess it’s something those guys came up with..."

"This thing is extremely rare, and you can count its production sites on your fingers."

"That precious?"

"Indeed, but this is only really useful for people at my level and your master’s level, anyone else using it would be a waste."

The girl blinked in curiosity, realizing it’s something for her master’s level!

"This Energy Purple Jade is a good thing, but more often than not, it’s used as a form of valuable currency rather than for cultivation..."

"Currency?"

The Drunkard beckoned, and a flash of Spiritual Light appeared in the girl’s hand, manifesting a jug of wine. The Drunkard took a gulp, nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Girl, there’s no need for you to know too much about this for now."

Hmph!

The girl turned her head in dissatisfaction, her two bun-twisted braids swaying, producing a sound like a Silver Bell.

"Girl, don’t be angry. By my calculations, it should be time for the Alliance to hold the Grandmaster Tournament now, which is also the Quasi-Martial Saint Tournament..."

"Is this Quasi-Martial Saint Tournament related to this Purple Jade?"

The Drunkard grinned, "It is indeed related."

"After all, this Purple Jade is very precious and beneficial even to Martial Saints, though Martial Saints cannot compete directly since at that level, a big fight could be catastrophic to the public."

"On the surface, the Alliance’s Quasi-Martial Saint Tournament is a martial arts exchange tournament among the top Grandmasters from various countries, but behind the scenes, it also sets the rules for assigning Purple Jade to Martial Saints."

"Because it involves Purple Jade shares, each top force always spares no effort to send their top disciples to participate in the Alliance’s Quasi-Martial Saint Tournament."

With that, the Drunkard paused slightly.

"For example, even though your master stays away from worldly affairs, he still established Qingfeng Hall, and Qingfeng Hall will definitely send someone to compete this time."

"Qingfeng Hall? That means Senior Brother Ling will also be participating?"

"Ling Daotian? That kid might not be as good as Huangfu Tian, but he’s still decent, maybe competing for the top thirty."

"As for the Ye Family, it’s needless to say, they’ve produced a monster."

"Over the years, the Overlord Blade Martial Arts Hall has cultivated two promising talents, seemingly named Qing Zhi and Cang Feng, though these two will certainly not rank as high as Ling Daotian this time, being nearly ten years behind him in cultivation..."

The girl listened with interest as the gregarious Drunkard suddenly stopped speaking, his expression changing as if someone had used an emergency token to contact him.

"Strange, could it be that something has changed in the Martial Arts Association?"

The Drunkard grasped into the void, producing a purple-gold token inscribed with an ancient script for ’Martial.’ Infusing it with a sliver of Spiritual Power, a message appeared.

The girl sensibly stepped back a few paces, crouched down, and started teasing the fish in the stream with a willow twig.

A few seconds later.

Boom!

A terrifying aura suddenly emanated from the Drunkard.

The girl’s face turned pale, but as she looked back, the Drunkard had already withdrawn his aura, though his expression showed he was still very unsettled.

"Girl, what was the name of that boy you mentioned earlier?"

"Su Mu."

Upon hearing the name Su Mu from the girl, a gleam flashed in the Drunkard’s eyes, his tone filled with shock and disbelief.

"Su Mu... Su Mu, what a Su Mu..."

"A millennium is a great cycle; in our era, Huaxia’s younger generation not only has Huangfu Tian but also this even more monstrous Su Mu!"

"Even the old men of the Alliance will be frightened, and even the Alliance envoys could be alarmed..."

...

So painful------

Head hurts so much!

A frail man, his skin marked with dark blue spots, clutched his pounding head with both hands, opened his eyes, and after a bout of spasms, finally caught his breath. He used all his strength to sit up from a pile of bones.

Then, he dazedly gazed at the ominous blood moon hanging in the dark dome above.

Everything was so unfamiliar.

After staring for a while, he slowly lowered his head, perplexed, looking at his own hands, vaguely hearing a few murmurs before he lost consciousness.

"Where is this..."

"Who am I..."

(Rest assured, this amnesia will be resolved within a few Chapters, and it won’t drag on meaninglessly. This will open the fourth volume of this book, which will also be the final volume of the Earth arc. The protagonist’s amnesia has significance and will lead to great gains.

By Chapter 443, which is three Chapters later, the memory will be restored.)
