This martial saint's health bar is too thick

Chapter 627 Legend of the Wild God
March 6th, the second year of Yuanxing.

The 'Mirage' departed from the Abyss.

This time, there was an extra group of people on the 'Mirage', representing the seventeen tribes of the Northern Barbarians.

They will be taken to Lanling City, where a public surrender ceremony will be held!
Inside the cabin, Chaganbayar and Sangji shared a room.

Sangji sat cross-legged, circulating the primordial Qi within his body to familiarize himself with this new energy.

Chaganbayar sat in the chair, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty.

This trip to the northern barbarians was a mixed blessing for him.

Good news: the Dao principles of the [Forgetful River] were not devoured by the ninth-grade beasts beneath the Abyss.

Bad news: the Dao principles of the [Forgetful River] are now in Li Fei's hands.

Chaganbayar had already guessed that Li Fei wouldn't use this Dao Principle to break through his realm, as the other party had a better option.

Just because Li Fei doesn't use it doesn't mean others won't.

The Great Blue Dynasty also has several top-tier True Persons at the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend realms. Li Fei might give them his services, adding a top-tier expert to the Great Blue Dynasty.

In short, Chaganbayar's hopes of regaining his principles are slim.

What he needs to consider now is not how to reclaim the Dao principles, but how to protect himself.

Although he was confident that no one could directly see that there was something wrong with him, the sudden appearance of the [Forgetful River] Dao Principle above the Abyss was too suspicious!

Will Li Fei make any connections to this?
Will my behavior on the deck have attracted their attention?

Chaganbayar felt increasingly threatened.

He couldn't just sit and wait to die; he had to do something!
A moment later, Chaganbayar had a plan in mind.

"Sanchi".

He suddenly shouted.

Sangji, who was meditating cross-legged, slowly opened his eyes: "What's wrong?"

Chaganbayar: "What are your plans for the future after this?"

Sangji paused, a look of confusion on his face:
"I want to travel the martial arts world of the Central Plains."

Chaganbayar shook his head.

Sangji looked at him: "And what about you? What are your plans?"

Chaganbayar: "This time, both of us have contributed to the Great Blue Dynasty at the Alliance of the Wild Gods and have rendered meritorious service. We will surely be rewarded when we return. The reward may not only be cultivation resources, but also our future prospects!"

"future?"

Sangji didn't go into battle for a reward, so he hadn't thought about that at all.

Chaganbayar looked into his eyes: "Sangji, have you ever thought about it? The higher our status in the Great Blue Dynasty will be, the more capable we will be of helping the people of the grasslands!"

Sangji's eyes widened, and he froze.

"Now only a portion of the people on the grasslands have surrendered to the Great Blue Dynasty, and many tribes are still at odds with it. But you and I both know that the grassland royal court will be completely defeated by the Great Blue Dynasty sooner or later, and then all the grassland people will become subjects of the Great Blue Dynasty."

Chaganbayar spoke eloquently, “But as you have seen along the way, not all people from the Central Plains are friendly to us.”

"."

Sanji remained silent.

Having spent time with a group of outstanding talents from the Great Blue Dynasty, he has gained a deep understanding of this.

"Sangji, I think if one day I can stand in a high enough position, I can change the views of some people in the Central Plains. When the people of the grasslands face injustice, I can help them!"

Chaganbayar looked serious.

For the first time, Sanji saw something in his friend that could be called an ideal.

Moreover, he considered this ideal to be extremely lofty!

Sangji looked at Chaganbayar with admiration:
"So you acted so anxiously on the deck earlier to gain the favor of the Duke of Jing'an?"

Chaganbayar nodded: "That's partly because of that, and partly because I really admire him!"

Sangji suddenly realized and secretly felt ashamed of his previous guesses.

"Sangji, would you like to come with me?"

Chaganbayar asked the most crucial question.

Sangji met his gaze, his eyes resolute: "I'm willing! I will work with you to help the suffering people of the grasslands!"

"it is good!"

Chaganbayar extended his hand to him, his right hand clenched into a fist.

Sangji also stretched out his hand and clenched his fist.

The fists of the two grassland boys collided.

Chaganbayar's lips curled up.

Having spent so much time with Sangji, he had long since figured out the other man's temperament.

If he were to talk to Sangji about wealth, status, or becoming a superior person, Sangji would certainly not agree, and the relationship between the two would become distant.

But in this way, he easily tied Sanji to himself.

Above the 'mirage', in another room.

Li Fei and Ji Yiheng sat facing each other, with a faint light floating between them, and the sound of flowing river could be faintly heard in the air.

"I'm already on my way to the summit, and I can't change course."

Ji Yiheng said to Li Fei.

Upon returning to the 'Mirage', Li Fei immediately sought out Ji Yiheng, asking if it was possible to reach the summit using the [Forgetful River] Dao Principle before him.

Having already made a vow with Xu Chihan, Li Fei certainly wouldn't give the Dao Principles to anyone else, otherwise his luck, realm, and even his attainment of Dao would be affected!

But that doesn’t stop him from learning more about the process of reaching the summit from different perspectives.

"I actually failed to break through to the next level, but by chance, I didn't fall directly into the abyss from the 'cliff' I was climbing, but stayed where I was."

Ji Yiheng explained to Li Fei, "I am now only one step away from condensing the Dao Principles. At this point, unless I have a Dao Principle that perfectly matches my own Dao, I cannot directly use a Dao Principle to reach the top."

Li Fei nodded.

He had anticipated this.

If possible, it would be better to let Ji Yiheng break through to the peak than to let Xu Chihan become an ally.

However, Ji Yiheng's 'Dao' is too different from that of the Styx Ancestor, and they are simply incompatible.

"Moreover, I think that even if we can find a top-level True Person whose own Great Dao is in harmony with the Dao of the [Forgetful River], it may not be possible to break through directly, because there has never been such a thing since ancient times, and no one knows how to do it."

Ji Yiheng said.

Li Fei remained silent.

Next, he and Ji Yiheng tried various methods to activate the Dao principles of the [Forgetful River].

Li Fei wanted to keep this Dao Principle for ten years, and naturally wanted to make full use of it during those ten years.

If I could use this Dao Principle directly without breaking through to the next realm, wouldn't I be no different from a top-tier expert?
No matter how hard he and Ji Yiheng tried, they couldn't make the Dao of the [Forgetful River] in front of them fluctuate in the slightest.

"If only Master were still here."

Ji Yiheng said something subconsciously, his expression somewhat gloomy.

Upon hearing this, Li Fei sighed.

Yes, Yun Shu, who possesses the Dao principles of [analysis], is the most skilled at this kind of thing.

If the other party is still alive, there might indeed be a way to make full use of this [Forgetful River] principle.

After trying again, Li Fei temporarily gave up, took the Dao Principle of [Forgetful River] with him, and left, returning to his room.

"Xu Chi Han, if you obtain the Dao Principle of the [River of Oblivion], how will you use it?"

After returning to his room, Li Fei activated a mental message and sent it into the void.

Indeed, no one knows how to directly use the unclaimed [Dao Principles], but some strange beasts do!

Xu Chi Han remained in the void near the 'Mirage,' following the 'Mirage' as it headed towards Lanling City.

Xu Chihan waited a while before responding with telepathy:

"Our race is inherently limited, unable to condense Dao principles. Over thousands of years, we've tried many methods, and finally found a way—obtaining an unclaimed Dao principle." Li Fei: "And then?"

Xu Chihan: "After obtaining it, you will have a secret method to absorb the Dao principles and complete the leap, from which you will be no different from the top experts of your humanity."

Li Fei: "What is the key to this secret technique?"

Xu Chihan did not answer.

The oath it signed did not require it to answer any of Li Fei's questions.

Li Fei began to speculate:
"Could it be vitality?"

This was the only commonality he could think of among all the strange beasts.

Otherwise, given their different races and abilities, why should all ninth-rank beasts be able to use the same secret technique?
Xu Chihan: "...That's right, the key is that the vitality must be strong enough."

Li Fei understood.

It turns out that the moment I first saw the Dao of the River of Oblivion, I felt an attraction from my very soul.

It wasn't because of his flying sword body, nor because he had the body of a martial saint, but because his vitality was strong enough.

Despite having already signed the oath, Xu Chihan didn't want to discuss the secret techniques further because Li Fei possessed the vitality of a strange beast.

Although Li Fei had already said that he looked down on the Dao principles of the [Forgetful River].

But what if?
What if Li Fei is forced into a corner in the future, facing a life-or-death situation, and has no choice but to accept this principle?

Therefore, one should be wary of shellfish from Xuchi.

Li Fei smiled and didn't ask any more questions about the secret technique.

"You can travel through the void, so you should be able to go to many places. Have you ever been to the deepest part of the Abyss?"

In the legends of the Northern Barbarians, the Abyss leads to the heart of the world, where the ancient god who created the world sleeps.

Li Fei certainly didn't believe in the existence of any creator god, but he was also very curious about the deepest part of the Abyss.

Xu Chihan: "Human, you ask me questions, and I have questions for you too."

Li Fei: "Okay, then let's ask each other questions."

Xu Chihan: "I already answered one of your questions."

It is unwilling to suffer any loss.

Li Fei: "Then ask away."

Xu Chihan: "I need to know the current power distribution in the human world, including who the top experts are?"

This is what it cares about most.

It hadn't left the Abyss for hundreds of years, and now, following Li Fei to the human world, it was still very uneasy, even though Li Fei promised to guarantee its safety.

Li Fei: "The most powerful empire is called the Great Blue Dynasty, followed by the newly established Western Extremity Kingdom, which was formerly known as the Buddhist Kingdom, and is currently our enemy."

He gave a general overview of the Eastern Continent and also told Xu Chihan who all the top experts of the time were.

These are things that the other party can find out sooner or later if they want to know, so there's no need to hide them.

Xu Chihan: "Where does your strength rank in the human world?"

Li Fei: "This is the second question."

Xu Chihan: "Answer me, and I'll answer your question."

Li Fei thought for a moment and said, "It's probably the thirteenth in the world."

He previously ranked himself twelfth on the list of the most powerful figures in the world.

Thirteenth place goes to 'Demon Gun' Tian Youpeng.

The fourteenth place is Qilian Guanshi.

But now that the Dao principles of the [Forgetful River] are in his hands, Qilian Guanshi should already be dead.

This means that the 'demon spear' that went to hunt down Qilian Guanshi finally succeeded.

The opponent successfully killed a top-tier expert, strengthening their own Dao principles, and their strength will inevitably increase greatly!
After Li Fei ascended the Heavenly Tower, his mastery of the unity of magic and martial arts improved, and his strength also increased.

But it certainly won't be as significant as the leap in power from the 'Demon Gun'.

The main reason he was able to kill the ninth-grade beast, Jiao Yuan, was due to the temporary upgrade of the Myriad Blood Pearl and the Great Blue Kingdom's fortune, and also because he and Jiao Yuan were trapped in a spatial cage.

If any one of these three points were missing, Li Fei would not have been able to kill Jiao Yuan.

So despite his improved strength, he actually moved his ranking down by one place.

Xu Chihan: "You mean any top-tier expert in this world is stronger than you?"

It was somewhat skeptical.

But thinking about it carefully, over the years, whether it's martial arts or the arts of skill, humanity has always been striving for higher levels.

It's not hard to understand why the strongest individuals of this era are stronger than those from hundreds of years ago.

This is also one of the reasons why those ninth-grade beasts in the Abyss dare not leave.

Li Fei did not explain the matter of national destiny to Xu Chihan, but simply said, "It's your turn to answer my question."

".All right."

Xu Chihan's voice echoed in my mind: "I have been to the deepest part of the Abyss."

Li Fei's spirits lifted: "How was it?"

Xu Chihan: "After I reached a depth of about 30,000 meters below the Abyss, I encountered an extremely powerful void turbulence and was unable to proceed further."

Li Fei knew that void turbulence was like the effect of a storm on a ship at sea; void turbulence would affect all spatial supernatural abilities.

"A void turbulence that even you can't pass through?"

Li Fei knew very well what abilities the Void Clam possessed in the void, and he couldn't imagine what kind of powerful void turbulence could stop it.

"If we don't go through the void, then we can go through the real space."

"No, that place is directly connected to the void; there are no other paths."

"Therefore, the passage to the deepest part of the Abyss is blocked by the void turbulence, and no ninth-grade beast knows what lies below?"

"Yes, even I couldn't pass, so it's even more impossible for the other ninth-rank candidates."

Li Fei felt a little disappointed, as he had hoped to unlock the secrets of the Abyss:
"Okay, it's your turn to ask."

Xu Chihan: "You said you ranked thirteenth among the strongest humans, which means that you humans have a specific ranking system. I want to know this ranking."

Li Fei didn't even need to guess; he knew the other party would definitely ask this question.

He directly told the other party his ranking on the pinnacle list.

Hearing that Wenren Zheng, a top expert of the Great Blue Dynasty like Li Fei, was ranked second in the world, Xu Chihan felt somewhat relieved.

In addition, Li Fei had previously told it that the Great Blue Dynasty had four armies with top-tier combat capabilities.

This made Xu Chihan feel that cooperating with Li Fei was not bad, and that his own safety should be guaranteed.

Li Fei: "It's my turn to ask a question. I'd like to know how you ninth-grade beasts view the legend of the Wild God?"

The ninth-rank mythical beast has existed for longer than any of the Northern Barbarian tribes, so it naturally knows more secrets.

Li Fei wanted to know whether the Wild God was real or completely fictional.
"Aragami."

Upon hearing this name, Xu Chihan's heart stirred with a few more emotions:
"We ninth-rank beings all share the same view on the Wild God."

"Oh?"

Li Fei's eyes shifted.

So, the Aragami actually exist?

What are your opinions?

“We believe that the Aragami are the same as us.”

"You mean, you think the Aragami are monsters?"

"Yes, if we were to categorize it using the ranks of you humans, He should be—"

Tenth rank!
