Chapter 1085: Chapter 769: Martial Saint (End of Book)
All of this is just like the stars and primordial ancestor back then.
...
Lu Chenzhou returned quietly, without much fanfare.
He attended his son’s wedding and visited many old friends.
He lived peacefully in Yun Meng City for a hundred years, enjoying the sights of the mortal realm, the clouds rolling and unfurling, living an easy and pleasant life.
...
Soon after, Lu Chenzhou came to the River of Time, searching within it.
After a period of time, he found a faint True Spirit Mark and awakened it.
The True Spirit Mark revealed the weathered face of an old ape: "Who are you?"
"I am your student, Mr. Turtle is my senior brother," Lu Chenzhou smiled and said.
The old ape’s eyes were shocked as he looked at this supreme figure who casually manipulated the River of Time.
"My student?"
As a Great Power, how could he have the virtue and ability to teach someone capable of treating the River of Time as a mere plaything, an unimaginably magnificent existence.
Even the Witch Master wouldn’t be able to do such a thing.
Thinking of this, he looked at Lu Chenzhou: "What about the Evil God of Stars?"
"All have fallen, Star Lord Si Chen has also fallen, and in this era, the concept of divine spirits no longer exists," Lu Chenzhou replied.
"An epoch has changed while I slept," the old ape sighed.
"I can recreate your body, but your cultivation will be limited to the Great Power Realm, making it hard to progress. I can also have you reincarnate with your memories intact to re-cultivate Martial Arts. Currently, this Dao has already produced over a hundred Great Powers, and two have surpassed the Great Power. By the way, Blue Mountain has also reincarnated and is now a Great Power," Lu Chenzhou offered the owner of Yuan Mountain two choices.
"Reincarnation, in this life, I’ll try a different way of living," the old ape said with a smile.
With a wave of Lu Chenzhou’s hand, the spiritual mark of the old ape reincarnated smoothly in the Tianxia Civilization.
...
"Qingyunzi, long time no see."
Lu Chenzhou kept his promise and awakened another True Spirit.
"Lu... Lu little friend?"
Qingyunzi hadn’t quite processed it yet.
"Hahaha, that’s right."
Qingyunzi didn’t expect, after all, it was just casually mentioned back then, that a benevolent person would really resurrect someone as insignificant as he was.
Now, to the present Lu Dao friend, he was indeed very insignificant.
...
"Great Protector, wake up."
Lu Chenzhou looked at the elderly figure before him and spoke softly.
The Great Protector seemed to have had a long dream. After calming his emotions, he asked, "What about Elder Luo Hou?"
"Dead."
"Thank you, Lu Dao friend."
...
The Heart Emperor, Emperor Xuan, Dragon Emperor, Emperor Zhan, and many other Great Powers who sacrificed in the Divine War were also resurrected by Lu Chenzhou.
They will reincarnate with their memories intact and re-cultivate in the new world, competing with many genius descendants.
With the talents of the Four Emperors, there is even hope for this realm to produce a few more supreme beings.
After reincarnating some of the Great Powers who died in the Divine War, Lu Chenzhou did not revive any more.
He could revive divine spirits, but the burden on the universe would be too great, having just recovered from a serious illness, it wasn’t worth the trouble.
Moreover, perhaps this era no longer needed divine spirits.
But at the right time, when the mood strikes, he might still revive Chi Ji, revive Zouyu, who could say for sure?
...
After fulfilling all promises, patching up all the regrets.
In the Life and Death Dao, Lu Chenzhou quietly altered the lifespan of a few individuals to match the heavens.
As a supreme existence, having a small personal desire is quite normal.
He didn’t want to return from traversing the Endless Chaos only to fish people out of the River of Time again; that would be too troublesome.
Of course, the number of people removed from the Book of Life and Death was very small, limited only to his most beloved and important family and friends.
Others, even those with good relations, would have to extend their lives through normal martial arts cultivation.
Lu Chenzhou bid farewell to his friends and family, then came to Bai Yujing.
"Brother Lu, you’ve finally come."
Here was still the lonely figure of the Fire King.
The King could sense that Lu Chenzhou’s presence was far superior to before; he had likely completed his transformation and become a complete supreme.
No, he felt an instinctive sense of dread.
He thought for a moment and realized that apart from the primordial ancestor, no one else had ever given him such a feeling.
"Congratulations on your advancement, brother," the King immediately congratulated.
"Thanks for the guidance; this kindness I will remember, and if there’s a need for help, I won’t refuse," Lu Chenzhou said.
He surveyed the Dragon King and then solemnly said, "Welcome back, Primordial Ancestor."
The Dragon King explained briefly, and the King then understood this was merely an independent persona’s worldly body left by the primordial ancestor.
Then the King said, "Brother Lu, what are your plans next?"
"I may have reached the Supreme Realm; I want to find the primordial ancestor to confirm it," Lu Chenzhou answered.
The King’s eyes shook, muttering, "The second Supreme?"
Since the Primordial Ancestor’s Supreme, countless universes have been born and died, so many Supremes have emerged, and no one has ever reached this realm.
Some Supremes even asserted that the Primordial Ancestor has exhausted the path to Supreme, and no one else can walk it.
Unexpectedly, a young, unknown little universe has brought forth a "True Great Saint."
Calming his emotions, the King laughed, "If you meet the Primordial Ancestor, greet him for me. It’s been a long time, I miss him dearly."
"No problem." Lu Chenzhou left Bai Yujing, bidding farewell to the Dragon King.
"Are you going to the Star Universe?" Lu Chenzhou asked.
"Yes, planning to wander around, although there’s nothing much to do." The Dragon King laughed.
"Then we part ways here. We shall meet again." Lu Chenzhou cupped his fists.
"The Dao is endless, Martial Arts has its end, perhaps we will meet again." The Dragon King said.
Lu Chenzhou recalled the words of Heavenly Master Zhang entering Dao before, now pondering them, feeling a different sensation.
The two went their separate ways, Lu Chenzhou alone ventured into the Endless Chaos, drifting away, solitary.
...
Somewhere in the Endless Chaos.
The cosmic clusters here seem even denser and grander than those of the Star Universe.
In the void, Chaos Giant Beasts naturally emitting Supreme aura roam.
On the back of one giant beast, a short-haired man clad in black armor, carrying a giant sword, pretends to nap.
Moments later, he opened his golden gaze, looking towards the path he came from.
"This path is more perfect, the Supreme Realm follows, I am not alone."
He closed his eyes, gently departed, murmuring.
"Those who carry the fire for all beings and civilization, should be called... Martial Saints! But societal civilization will inevitably become vulgar, leaving is the best choice."
...
Tianxia Calendar Year Three Thousand.
The third hundred year since Lu Chenzhou’s departure.
The Martial Arts Civilization is ambitious and rising.
Great Powers emerge endlessly.
Even, there are nine Martial Gods, overlooking all beings.
In Yun Meng City, naturally, there are also two Martial Gods, one being Qianfan Martial God, the other Lan Martial God.
This couple is also the peak of contemporary combat strength.
And in Beidi City, there is the Martial God of All Eras.
Furthermore, Emperor Shitian, Priest, and others also successively became Martial Gods.
The most dazzling are naturally the incarnations of the Four Emperors.
Three hundred years, breaking through Tenth Realm, directly advancing to Martial God.
...
In a certain Holy Tree World.
An unremarkable little Martial Arts Academy.
"Although there are nine Martial Gods in Tianxia, even when seeing me, they call me Ji Master Father."
In a Martial Arts Academy, a white-haired elder barely reaching Heavenly King cultivation, is teaching Mantis Fist, while boasting.
The new child, while standing in a posture, looks up at the elder with admiration.
Of course, some smart ones know Ji Master Father is boasting and chuckle secretly.
"Ji Master Father, how is my fist technique?" asked a young man newly entered the academy, resembling a large shrimp, as he bowed and charged.
"This punch isn’t right, I didn’t teach you like this, be serious." Ji Master Father said sternly.
"Although Mantis Fist is nimble and varied, it lacks strength; this is the sea mantis shrimp of the elephant form, my own creation[Mantis Shrimp Cannon Fist]."
This young man’s gaze is spirited, seemingly having many ideas.
Ji Master Father first remained silent, then slightly nodded in approval and said, "What’s your name, are you willing to enter my Ji Xuantong lineage, becoming the fourth True Inheritance?"
The young man hesitated first, knowing himself of remarkable talent, and Ji Master Father’s cultivation, in present days, is not substantial.
Then pondering further, he still knelt and kowtowed, saying, "Disciple Li Ming, greets Master!"
He rose and asked, "Who are my three seniors, Master?"
It’s coming, you’ve finally asked me.
Ji Xuantong was waiting for this moment, coughed, and solemnly said:
"Your senior sister Ji Feiyan, is now the Heavenly Realm Master of the Daoist Academy Headquarters, your second senior sister Shi Ruyu, is a professor of Martial Arts History at the Daoist Academy Headquarters... As for your third senior brother, cough cough, left this world three hundred years ago, a Supreme figure, Martial Saint! Lu Chenzhou!"
Ssss...
Ji Master Father basked in the sound of countless children sucking in a cold breath, head held high and chest extended.
This act, he has played many times in all realms.
But all along, he could never find a suitable disciple.
"Indeed, I am the Master of Martial Saints·Ji Xuantong."
He presented his title certificate, clearly stating four large characters: [Master of Martial Saints]!
