Realm-Hopping Martial Master-Chapter 436 - 267: Headless Dragons, Governing by Non-Action, Enlightenment of Divine Skills over the Pacific Ocean!

Chapter 436: Chapter 267: Headless Dragons, Governing by Non-Action, Enlightenment of Divine Skills over the Pacific Ocean!

An ordinary Extraordinary Planet might need several hundred, or even over a thousand years, to possibly give birth to a deity. Like the Dark Night God, Skull Bone God, Thunder God, God of Torrential Rain, God of Ten Thousand Beasts, and Blood God, they were, without exception, the supreme beings of their respective planets. They had witnessed countless geniuses rise only to submit before them. A lifespan of over a thousand years allowed them to overlook entire planets and step into the ultimate battlefield of the cosmos, the Star Ruins Realm. Through the long eons, they battled countless peers of similar strength. Yet, on Xuanxing, these cosmic warriors who had fought their whole lives, these planetary deities, were forcefully driven back to the west by Jiang Shu, confined to less than half of the planet’s territory. This was despite the fact that these were merely their consciousness constructs.

「Three months later.」

Jiang Shu, who had been in reclusive cultivation at Mount Tai, let out a long cry. The morning glow was brilliant as a great sun slowly ascended from the mountaintop. The physical damage incurred from using the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique had completely recovered.

"Jiang Wushen! Jiang Wushen has emerged from seclusion!"

The soldiers stationed below Mount Tai, standing as straight as pines, were ecstatic.

The current Xuanxing, like a newborn infant, experienced new changes every day. There were unending streams of Secret Mine Crystal Stones, Heaven and Earth Treasure Medicine, and the emergence of powerful Mutant Beasts.

Thus, the frontline soldiers were either stationed along the coast, hunting Mutant Beasts in the vast oceans, or they ventured into various deep mountains and dense forests to seek rare minerals. In the face of danger, they sought opportunities and embraced growth.

Compared to these soldiers struggling between life and death, whose Martial Arts could advance by leaps and bounds in a single day, being stationed below Mount Tai was undoubtedly an extremely dull task. The Mutant Beasts of Mount Tai had long been cleared, and they did not need to mine for Secret Mine Crystal Stones here; their daily duty was simply to rotate posts. Yet, this assignment was so fiercely contested within the military that heads were broken and blood was spilled. The sole reason was that Jiang Wushen was in reclusive cultivation on Mount Tai!

"Everyone has worked hard."

Looking at the nearly a thousand soldiers below, a thought stirred in Jiang Shu’s mind. With a wave of his hands, the very wind and clouds seemed to shift. His vast spiritual power congealed into seals that struck each soldier, and in an instant, all of them fell into a deep sleep. Simultaneously, the surging Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi of the entire Mount Tai, guided by Jiang Shu’s hands, transformed into torrents of dragons. These dragons descended from the heavens, landing directly onto the crown of each soldier’s head. Primordial Power was infused into them, cleansing their marrow and refining their bodies! Soldiers who were merely in the second realm of Martial Arts leaped to the Martial Arts Fourth Realm.

"Return to your military posts to stabilize your Realms; there is no need to come to Mount Tai anymore."

A stream of light whistled past as Jiang Shu flew away through the sky, leaving behind only a grand voice resonating in the mind of every soldier. By the time they awoke, Jiang Shu was nowhere to be seen.

「The Pacific Ocean.」

After the merging of the Secret Realms, the Pacific Ocean had grown nearly tenfold larger than before the Primordial Qi Recovery. Especially since the God of Ten Thousand Beasts arrived, the Mutant Beasts here had gained a true leader. Both their advancement speed and their breeding rate were far greater than before.

"Jiang Shu?"

As Jiang Shu’s vast spiritual power descended, the God of Ten Thousand Beasts was the first to sense it. Its giant lion head emerged from the surface of the Pacific Ocean.

"Are you here to kill me, this deity?"

The voice of the God of Ten Thousand Beasts carried an inherent dignity and authority, showing not the slightest fear.

After all, this is merely one of His consciousness constructs. More importantly, He believes there is no significant conflict of interest between Himself and Jiang Shu. He is not like the other deities who require the faith of the Human Clan and constantly plot to invade the East. To Him, the Pacific Ocean is His main base. Although the Power of Faith it provides isn’t substantial, once the Star Gates open, He can continuously transport the Mutant Beasts from here into the Star Ruins Realm, forming a grand army of beasts. This would also serve to augment His own strength to some extent. Currently, He only desires mutual non-aggression. The might Jiang Shu displayed that day is deeply etched in His mind. At the very least, His current consciousness construct is no match for Jiang Shu.

"If I had come to kill you, I would be wielding the Green Sky and Blue Sea Seal, ready to strike you down with a single blow."

Standing above the Pacific Ocean, Jiang Shu spoke slowly, "I have come today seeking to cooperate with you, God of Ten Thousand Beasts."

"Now that the Primordial Qi Recovery has begun, our Extraordinary Planet is giving birth to one Martial Artist after another. However, breakthroughs in Realm always occur amid slaughter. Greenhouses cannot cultivate true Martial Artists."

"The existence of Mutant Beasts can serve to temper Martial Artists, allowing them to constantly refine their Realms and enhance their combat strength. Meanwhile, the culling of Mutant Beasts by Martial Artists also drives their evolution through survival of the fittest, forming a balance between our two sides. From this perspective, not only is there no conflict of interest between you and me, but we can actually coexist for mutual benefit."

Slaughter inevitably leads to death. Perhaps in the future, many Martial Artists will die at the claws of Mutant Beasts, perishing in the Pacific Ocean. Jiang Shu knew that if these words of his were to spread, some holier-than-thou critics might post them online. They would accuse him of being able to resolve the Mutant Beast threat but choosing instead to send more ordinary Martial Artists to their deaths. But as the strongest being on this planet, he had to consider the bigger picture. The appearance of the Star Gates meant that the future of Xuanxing would inevitably become a battleground for numerous powerful invaders. He could protect them for a time, but not for an eternity. He could safeguard thousands, even hundreds of thousands, but not billions of lives. Creating the "Everyone is like a dragon" technique merely provided Martial Artists with a path to advance; however, Realm has never been equivalent to combat strength. Without sufficient experience in life-and-death battles, they are nothing more than delicate vases.
