Chapter 437: Chapter 9: The Final Step of the Plan—Mortals Can Battle Immortals Too! (5k, Two-in-One)_2
In just a few years, martial spirit has risen among billions of mortals on the Meteor Islands.
Almost five or six out of every hundred people have joined martial arts schools to learn martial arts.
They learn the Martial Arts Breathing Technique, even though those "Immortal Masters" are mostly in it for money and rarely offer personal guidance.
But the cultivation techniques are genuine, and even self-study can yield some results.
The mortals in the Cultivation Realm, those with some wealth in their households, love to eat exotic delicacies.
Whether it’s wild beasts or sea beasts, all have traces of demon beast blood.
Consuming them long-term strengthens the body. Their offspring naturally have impressive martial aptitudes.
Over time, the martial foundations of mortals in the Cultivation Realm have generally become notable.
Not exaggerating, their martial foundation far surpasses that of ordinary people on Blue Star.
Therefore, any disciple who joins various martial arts schools.
After half a month of cultivation, they show initial results, able to hold their ground against several men who haven’t trained in martial arts.
After a month of cultivation, they can fight against ten strong young men.
Some mortals, after three to five months, are actually as capable in combat as cultivators in the first two layers of Qi Refining.
At this time, most of them have entered the "Martial Artist Realm," or even become advanced martial artists.
Of course, the Cultivation Realm does not have the same martial divisions as Blue Star.
This world is never short of geniuses.
Some mortals might have average physical aptitude, but they possess excellent determination or greatly resonate with the Martial Arts Breathing Technique.
A year after the various martial arts schools opened.
Many "Immortal Masters" were surprised to find a considerable number of geniuses among their disciples.
Even within just a year, their combat capabilities caught up with those mid-Qi Refining stage cultivators.
At this point, these Immortal Masters finally realized and began earnestly guiding these disciples.
Thus, those with excellent aptitude became direct disciples of the Immortal Masters.
Still, relying solely on the Martial Arts Breathing Technique, martial progress was too slow.
Consequently, the demand for sea beast meat in the Cultivator Marketplace grew increasingly large.
Eating a pound of sea beast meat could equal several days of hard cultivation.
As a result, sea beast meat in the marketplace became in short supply.
Prices soared...
This led to more and more cultivators venturing out to the sea to hunt sea beasts.
Gradually, sea beast meat became the main industry on the Meteor Islands.
Even the Qi Refining Immortal Masters in the martial arts schools bought some sea beast meat.
They either sold it to the wealthy disciples or used it to reward their direct disciples.
Martial arts were flourishing on the Meteor Islands.
Soon, a few more years had passed.
...
Several years later, on Grey Stone Island.
Lin Chen finished his cultivation, exhaling a long breath of foul air.
After some inference, he murmured:
"Unknowingly, it has been ten years since I left Qing State..."
"I have also successfully cultivated the Evergreen Technique to the ninth layer..."
The Evergreen Technique originally only had three Chapters.
Namely, Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, and Golden Core.
Later, within the ruins of the Golden Yuan Sect, Lin Chen acquired several Nascent Soul Techniques.
After also using the Celestial Derivation Pearl for inference, he finally perfected the Nascent Soul Chapter.
The Nascent Soul Chapter is divided into ten layers, reaching the seventh layer meant entering the late period of the Nascent Soul.
The tenth layer, on the other hand, is the Perfect Nascent Soul Realm.
In other words, Lin Chen is now at the peak of the Nascent Soul late period, not far from Nascent Soul Perfection.
Before leaving Qing State, Lin Chen had just entered the mid-Nascent Soul.
It took him nearly five years to advance from mid-Nascent Soul to late Nascent Soul.
He spent another five years, and now he is not far from Nascent Soul Perfection...
More crucially, Lin Chen’s progress in martial arts cultivation is even quicker now.
Lin Chen took out the Qi Blood Bracelet and tested his current Qi and Blood Value.
One hundred seventy, the unit is ten thousand!
The standard for a basic level Martial Emperor’s Qi and Blood Value is one million.
The standard for a middle level Martial Emperor is one million five hundred thousand!
Lin Chen, five years ago, advanced to a basic level Martial Emperor, and within just five years, his Qi and Blood Value increased by seven hundred thousand.
A Qi and Blood Value of 1.7 million makes Lin Chen’s peak fist power close to 270,000 tons.
And theoretically, his limit running speed is 9 kilometers per second.
It’s no exaggeration to say that with one punch, Lin Chen could shatter a Nascent Soul cultivator.
"At this moment, there should be no opponent for me in the Human Realm..."
Lin Chen murmured.
If he were to face the Blood Pupil again from ten years ago, Lin Chen is confident he could kill him within ten rounds.
Even Demon Monarch Huiyue, from before, Lin Chen has the confidence to encounter.
After all, a True Monarch of Divinity Transformation is considerably suppressed in the Mortal Realm.
While Lin Chen’s martial arts cultivation can be fully exhibited...
"It’s been ten years, and it’s about time to return to Qing State."
Lin Chen whispered under his breath.
Three months ago, Lin Chen learned about the situation in Qing State from a maritime trade caravan.
Information between Qing State and the Meteor Islands is scarce and rarely communicated.
More crucially, the distance between the two states is too far.
The martial arts puppets Lin Chen previously left do not have communication capability over this distance, and intelligence has been hard to relay back.
"But fortunately, in recent years, Blue Star has heavily invested in developing communication devices."
"Nowadays, the farthest communication distance exceeds billions of miles. Once I return to Qing State, I can use the martial arts puppets to stay informed about news from the Meteor Islands."
Lin Chen murmured.
"However, the situation in Qing State can no longer be delayed..."
Ten years ago, the Blood Pupil was slain by Lin Chen.
But contrary to Lin Chen’s expectations, it didn’t greatly weaken the Demon Path.
The Nether Realm only paused its expansion for three years before supporting a new leader of the Demon Sect.
And this person, Lin Chen had seen before.
Zheng Tianhe!
Ten years ago, Lin Chen killed both True Man Wenshu and the Blood Pupil.
But Zheng Tianhe managed to escape.
Later, backed by forces behind the Nether Realm, Zheng Tianhe became the new Lord of the Nether Realm.
In the recent seven years, he continuously expanded, now not only ruling over the entire Eastern Domain of Qing State but occupying half of the Southern and Northern Domains as well.
