High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late-Chapter 154 - 140: Secret Technique from the Demon God Pillar, Armor of Qi Blood

Chapter 154: Chapter 140: Secret Technique from the Demon God Pillar, Armor of Qi Blood

"Since all three of you are here, let’s set off. I’ll take you to the specific location first."

The three had no objections.

The location where the Secret Realm is about to emerge is in the southern part of Moonlight Valley. Moonlight Valley is rich in a plant known as Moonlight Grass, which provides slight assistance to Spiritual Power cultivation. However, since it doesn’t qualify as a higher-grade resource, it holds no value for most Martial Artists.

At night, the Moonlight Grass blooms with a glow akin to moonlight. Although each plant’s glow is faint, when gathered in numbers, it spills over the valley like moonlight, hence the name Moonlight Valley.

The position of Moonlight Valley is somewhat delicate, located at the border between the two factions’ territories.

This area has few cultivation resources, and few people usually visit. But with the Secret Realm about to emerge, the valley’s Spiritual Qi concentration has risen abnormally, birthing numerous high-grade Three-leaf Moonlight Grass, many other Spirit Plants, and some Fierce Beasts that have escaped from the Secret Realm.

As cultivation resources increased and the Secret Realm’s emergence approached, the fighting in this area became more intense. However, not long ago, the two factions built a temporary main camp outside Moonlight Valley.

This place has since quieted again, like the calm before a storm.

Currently, Moonlight Valley is divided based on the north-south boundary, with humans in the south and the Alien Race in the north.

"The two of us won’t enter the valley. You can go in and take a look, but don’t venture north easily."

...

Lin Ying wasn’t very interested in Moonlight Valley and left after only a few glances from a high vantage point.

"Su Mu, shall we take a look?"

"Alright, let’s go."

The two passed through the main camp. In this place, Su Mu felt the atmosphere of the battlefield, with the standoff between the two armies seemingly thickening the air.

The two walked around the southern part of the valley.

Meanwhile, Nanu tracked coordinates to a canyon-like area. He smelled a scent of blood and followed it to a giant stone split in two.

The blood on the ground had long dried and turned dark red.

He didn’t look at his dead kin, but focused his gaze on the stone’s smooth, mirror-like cut surface. His hand lightly caressed the cut, and feeling a sharp aura, doubt flickered in Nanu’s blood-red eyes.

"Hmm, a War Intent Prototype above Minor Success!"

"Interesting, this War Intent Prototype differs from the two human Sixth Level Martial Artists stationed here. Is it a newly arrived human martial artist on the battlefield today? Hunting such prey is interesting."

Nanu licked his lips, excitement showing on his face.

...

"The fourth saber is charged, continue."

In the temporary main camp, Su Mu sheathed the long saber on his knee, a flash of Spiritual Light bringing another saber. He silently nurtured the Blade Qi.

After the Sword Momentum reached a 40% realm, his control over it improved. Now, when using the Sword Nurturing Technique to cultivate Blade Qi, the Blade Qi no longer raged as it did before.

"The Minor Success Blade Momentum greatly enhances the Sword Nurturing Technique."

As Sword Momentum infused the saber instantly, Su Mu could immediately consolidate it. Not only did this minimize the commotion from cultivating Blade Qi, but it also doubled the efficiency.

At night, the Moonlight Grass emitted a bright glow, casting a serene light across the valley, yet underneath the tranquility, a turbulent undercurrent brewed.

In the temporary main camp, Chai Wu and Zhang Lie looked grave. In one night, six Fifth Level Martial Artists had perished, and none of the six transmitted any information back, making the situation unusual.

There are only two possibilities: the six were ambushed and caught off guard, or they encountered an undefeatable enemy and were instantly killed.

"I suspect a Sixth Level Alien Race made a move. All six died in this area; I’ll go check it out." Chai Wu frowned.

"Alright."

...

On the way, Chai Wu saw a peculiar stone, a massive rock split in two with one half pierced by a spear-like weapon. It bore marks from two different weapons simultaneously yet seemed unrelated to a battle.

On the ground lay several headless Alien Race corpses.

"In the eyes of the Alien Race, dying in battle is an honor. When retrieving remains, they sometimes only take the head."

"The strike that pierced the giant stone likely came from the Alien Race retrieving the bodies later."

From experience, Chai Wu judged that the dead Aliens were from the Fourth Level or above, instantly recalling Su Mu mentioning encountering four Aliens on the road.

In an instant, the scene of Su Mu slaying four Aliens surfaced in Chai Wu’s mind. From the strike that split the stone, it seemed the four stood little chance before Su Mu.

"As expected of a Martial Artist on the Third Level Sequence list, truly remarkable."

Chai Wu nodded to himself, pausing briefly before moving on. Soon, he reached the site of the first martial artist’s death, finding the adjacent tree bore a similar hole, emanating a familiar Martial Momentum.

Immediately, a hypothesis formed in Chai Wu’s mind.

...

"The fifth saber is charged with Blade Qi too!" 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

By early morning the next day, Su Mu exhaled deeply, pausing the cultivation of Blade Qi.

With less than a day until the Secret Realm emerges, further Blade Qi cultivation held little purpose. Su Mu planned to find a Fierce Beast Mountain Range for practice to remedy his shortcomings in combat.

Su Mu took out a map, locating a Fierce Beast Mountain Range close to Moonlight Valley for convenience.

"Gale Mountain Range, Third Level Resource Point, that’s it."

Su Mu was decisive, setting off immediately after confirming the location.

Soon, a massive mountain appeared in Su Mu’s sight, and he drew a saber that hadn’t been used for cultivating Blade Qi, its light shimmering in his hand.
