Chapter 693: 0429 Grandmaster End Realm (Request for monthly tickets and subscriptions)

Wanxiang Battle Group.

In a place of secluded cultivation, an overwhelming and unparalleled aura surged to the sky, a phantom of the White Tiger Qi Po roaring skyward, its majestic power stirring the forces of heaven and earth, forming an energy vortex that rippled like tides.

"Such a phenomenon, it must be a Great Grandmaster!"

"White Tiger Seven Killings Qi Po, it truly is the Sword Embracing Tiger senior. Worthy of being a top-ranked Grandmaster on the Heavenly List at number 3."

"Hahaha, our Wanxiang Battle Group now has a newly promoted Great Grandmaster, our ranking will surely rise."

In the past two years, six battle groups have given birth to Grandmaster experts, the strongest being the Galaxy Battle Group, besides Wan Tiangong, another Grandmaster also advanced to Great Grandmaster.

Lu Chenzhou also emerged from seclusion, looking at the heavenly phenomenon, he mused inwardly, "In the human world, generally speaking, only by advancing to the Heavenly Realm, at least reaching the Heavenly King, can one lead the heavenly phenomenon to form breakthrough anomalies through the aura that inadvertently disperses. Yet in this realm, a Great Grandmaster can do so. No wonder many minor realms cannot allow Absolute Peak experts to enter. With their battle power, a mere breath could shatter the void, a fight could annihilate the Dao, minor realms simply cannot bear it."

Not long after, Wei Fenghua, also with a joyful expression, came outside, smiling, "Congratulations to fellow Daoist Li on your promotion."

Previously addressing as fellow Daoist Li was out of politeness. Now the Sword Embracing Tiger is truly her peer.

This time pioneering, being able to add another Great Grandmaster to Wanxiang Dao is already profitable. It’s known that the lifespan of a Great Grandmaster is six Jiazi, but even with the merger of Wanxiang Dao’s two schools and several hundred years of accumulation, today there are barely a hundred Great Grandmasters.

The entire Wanbang Council has less than two thousand, among which many are nearing the end of their lifespan, with one foot in the grave. The truly new blood that can continue to protect Wanbang in the future is even scarcer.

This is even with a resource boom, resulting in an increase in Great Grandmaster numbers. Before the Great Era was initiated, Dragon City Martial Arts University had only thirty Great Grandmasters.

Thus, before the Mountain and Sea mutation, the three realms of [Great Grandmaster, Heavenly King, Absolute Peak] were collectively termed as [Top-Level Experts] because they were too few.

Su City, being a mega city with a population of ten million, once had only [Old Man Hanshan] as a local Great Grandmaster, and now there are only 3, which is telling.

Tuo Tian Head Monk also came to join in the fun, laughing, "Congratulations, fellow Daoist Wei, with the battle power of Sword Embracing Tiger and young friend Lu, future pioneering will surely be unstoppable."

The Shaolin Dao also naturally has a newly promoted Great Grandmaster, it is Master Mingxin, who advanced a month ago. Zhen Ding is at the End Realm Cultivation, hopeful to break through to Fifth Rank before the pioneering ends.

Zhen Ding’s physical talent is very strong...

It’s just that the spiritual aspect is lacking, to advance to Great Grandmaster the spiritual power must at least reach the standard of the Po Suo Four Realms Heart Cultivation. Otherwise, facing the Heart Demon Tribulation, it’s easy to fail in promotion.

Zhen Ding is also unfortunate, his Heart Sutra cultivation has been stuck for too long, and although he has made a vigorous effort to catch up now, it’s still a bit lacking.

Upon this thought, Tuo Tian Head Monk looked at Lu Chenzhou, after a round of perception, he was slightly surprised, "Young friend Lu has also made considerable progress, already at the End Realm."

Lu Chenzhou smiled:

"This period of seclusion has brought some gains."

His Qi-Blood standard has just surpassed 13,000 points.

Firstly, his "Lu Wu Demonic Cleansing Scripture" successfully broke through to the twelfth level. Secondly, the "Mountain Lord Inquiry Fist" that previously achieved Great Success also increased his Qi-Blood significantly;

And additionally, over the past year, he has been refining 2 mid-grade Primordial Stones weekly, which also boosted his Qi-Blood by over a thousand points, refining Primordial Stones at certain intervals without over-reliance, is perfectly fine.

After all, these things are exceptionally pure and non-toxic, unlike regular Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

In the Inner Scenery Land, the Acupoint Heavenly Stars have reached 470, basically post-End Realm, even for someone as formidable as him, he can only maintain about one acupoint per month, this speed is already several times that of other geniuses, not weaker than contemporaries of the Dragon King.

This is the difficulty of opening acupoints after becoming a Grandmaster, the Martial Arts World holds a saying, if one reaches Grandmaster only after a hundred years, the achievement limit is basically at Great Grandmaster. For example, Qin Hui, alive for over three hundred years and still an Initial Realm Grandmaster.

Excluding the very few who, like Zhang Shentong or Grey Knight, are late bloomers, most elderly Grandmasters have no fate with the Heavenly King, achieving Grandmaster before sixty gives hope for Heavenly King, if before forty, Absolute Peak is also possible.

The speed of advancing to Grandmaster can somewhat reflect one’s potential for opening acupoints, therefore Wang Changming repeatedly demanded Lu Chenzhou to reach Grandmaster before forty.

Otherwise, aiming for Heavenly Realm, is difficult!

On the premise of solid foundation, the earlier the better.

Beside the monk, Zhen Ding was numb. You call that some gains? Dude, when I was crowned champion of the Heaven’s Path Cup as a Grandmaster at 34, you were just a little Martial Artist, your current cultivation is almost on par with mine.

Wei Fenghua also noticed Lu Chenzhou’s breakthrough, for some reason, the sense of satisfaction in her heart was actually even greater than when the Sword Embracing Tiger entered Great Grandmaster, she clapped and laughed, "Great! Double joy, let’s celebrate today." Lu Chenzhou at the Grandmaster End Realm, she couldn’t imagine how strong his combat power is, to contend with Middle Realm Great Grandmaster should be no problem.

The Sword Embracing Tiger, lofty in aura, clasped his fists:

"Many thanks to all fellow Daoists for protecting."

He looked towards Lu Chenzhou, his tiger body quivered, though he had already become a Great Grandmaster, facing this young Grandmaster, he still felt a natural tremor.

...

Demon King Hall.

"Hall Master, several more Great Grandmasters among the humans have been born, if we don’t act quickly, delays could lead to unexpected changes."

"That’s right, we can’t wait any longer. With Lu Chenzhou’s aptitude, within three to five years at the shortest, or ten years at the longest, he will inevitably reach the Grandmaster Realm. At that time, within the curtain, apart from the Demon Emperor, no one will be able to kill him."

"Indeed, this is our last chance. Let’s gather Demon Kings from everywhere and initiate a grand siege action."

In the past two years, although the Demon King Hall has achieved some victories by killing a few Heavenly Pride Grandmasters, the most important target, Lu Chenzhou, has been in seclusion at a stronghold, protected by human Grandmaster experts, with no chance to strike.

The Six-headed Great Demon King frowned, "Relying solely on the strength of the Demon King Hall to forcefully attack the human stronghold is too difficult."

Step, step, step! At this moment, from the hall below, a headless knight dressed in white armor wearing heavy armor descended, riding a phantom skeletal ghost horse emitting green flames.

"What if we add our Myriad Ghost Cave?"

...

Battle Group Temporary Command Center.

battle groups are in a meeting.

The attendees are all Grandmasters leading their respective battle groups.

As of now, the Star River Battle Group ranks first, having taken over 7 mining veins and harvested 2 billion low-grade primordial ores. Following are the True Martial Battle Group, Po Suo Battle Group, and Wanxiang Battle Group... The rankings of the Grandmasters and battle groups are not too different. It’s worth noting that those who have advanced to the Grandmaster Realm within the realm can still participate in the ranking test to exchange the four top-class divine treasures, different from the leading Grandmasters.

Relying solely on low-grade ore veins makes it difficult for the battle groups to widen the gap between their scores, hence the battle group command center suggests the 27 battle groups temporarily join forces to first capture the middle-grade ore vein located in the Lion Ape King’s territory, then through a battle tournament, decide the final ownership.

After discussions among many Grandmasters, they found it feasible.

Compared to the Demon King Hall and Myriad Ghost Cave, while the Lion Ape King also has some Fourth Rank mutant beasts under its command, they number no more than five. Dispatching the elite forces of each battle group’s Grandmasters and forming a special team offers a hopeful chance to capture the Lion Ape King with numerical advantage.

...

"Campaign against the Lion Ape King?"

At the Wanxiang Battle Group Meeting Room, Wei Fenghua summoned five Grandmasters, and everyone wore a solemn expression.

Previously, there were teams that had targeted the Lion Ape King, including when Lu Chenzhou was in seclusion, Wan Tiangong, Yue Bufen, and Demon Fist Tyrant, three newly ascended Heavenly Pride Grandmasters, fully armed, led more than ten Grandmasters attempting to drive away the Lion Ape King, but in the end, they were taught a lesson by the Ape King.

No wonder it’s top-tier combat strength in this realm. The trio of Heavenly Prides teamed up, each wielding top-class divine weapons, yet were swung away by the Ape King with a casual grab of an ancient relic pillar from the ground.

After witnessing the tremendous disparity, no one dared to provoke the Ape King anymore. Currently, to confidently defeat the Ape King requires ten Initial Realm Heavenly Pride Grandmasters, each with top-class divine weapons, along with support from a Grandmaster battle group.

Wei Fenghua said, "Though the Ape King’s hard strength is formidable, it is a lone figure. Ultimately, it remains a mutant beast with relatively low intelligence. Compared to the Demon King Hall and Myriad Ghost Cave, it’s the best to capture. But it requires full collaboration from all battle groups. If you are inclined to participate, I’ll sign up. If the campaign succeeds, it should notably increase merit. The middle-grade ore vein area is relatively easier to yield Earth Grade or even Heavenly Grade treasures. These are rare opportunities."

The leading Grandmasters will not participate in the campaign.

Sword Embracing Tiger asked, "If the campaign succeeds, how will the ownership of the middle-grade ore vein be determined? By competition?"

Wei Fenghua nodded, "Yes."

"Alright, I’ll participate." Sword Embracing Tiger agreed without hesitation, as one of his major goals in coming to this small realm was to contend once more with old Heavenly List rivals.

Moreover, he has been in seclusion for two years without combat, itching to fight. Seizing this chance to face off with the Fifth-Rank Peak Ape King will surely be immensely beneficial.

Lu Chenzhou said, "I will go too."

He has never encountered Fifth-Rank Peak mutant beasts. In the human world, they might rival a master before becoming a Heavenly King. Certainly, another reason lies in his brain, where the sword spirit keeps rambling:

{"This is a must-go. The Lion Ape King is a natural alien species, ranking above the Black Water Profound Snake in terms of talent. If captured, it would make an impressive mount. Before attaining the Heavenly Realm, Emperor Zhan once gained favor from an ancestral Ape King of the Heavenly Realm, reportedly gifted with a stick technique, which he used to sweep the world, promoting it grandly, creating the divine combat technique ’Universe Pillar’, one strike could kill a god. Later, Emperor Zhan invited the ancestral Ape King back to the sect as the sect’s saint beast, aiding it to overcome ninety-nine tribulations, becoming an unrivaled Ninth Rank mutant beast, self-proclaiming as ’Ape God Ancestor’. Additionally, might find the rare accompanying spiritual item ’Father Lifting Fruit’."} freewebnøvel.coɱ

The sword spirit rambled a lot, appearing particularly fond of capturing mutant beasts. Last time when encountering the Black Water Profound Snake, it also urged Lu Chenzhou to capture it.

"’Universe Pillar’? That sounds formidable. Is the combat technique above Ninth Rank considered divine?"

{"That’s right, the Great Wilderness only has four divine combat techniques, created by the Four Emperors. Fundamentally, it’s also a Ninth Rank combat technique, but due to its ability to acidly counter gods, it’s termed divine combat technique, far superior to ordinary Ninth Rank techniques. Our Heavenly Sword Sect’s ’Supreme Sword Manual’ is a top-level method combining cultivation and combat techniques. The Heavenly Fighting Sect’s ’Myriad Forms Battle Body’ and ’Universe Pillar’, combining these, are the reasons for Emperor Zhan’s unrivaled hard power."}

"Is Emperor Zhan stronger than Emperor Xuan?"

{"That’s not the way to put it. In terms of extreme carnage, it’s my family Emperor Xuan, having trained to the highest level of human and sword unity, once severed a god with one sword during the battle of gods, severely injuring a deity. But Emperor Xuan has distinct strengths and weaknesses, while Emperor Zhan is more balanced. According to my master, between Emperor Xuan and Emperor Zhan, it’s a 40-60 outcome privately."}

"Then doesn’t that mean Emperor Zhan is stronger..."

{"Annoying! I can’t make sense to you!"}

This made Lu Chenzhou more confident in the path of Martial Arts. The Heavenly Fighting Sect’s path is the closest to his.

Emperor Zhan and Ape God Ancestor, these supreme experts of the past, are too distant from him.

"What is the ’Father Lifting Fruit’ you mentioned?"
