Martial arts ascend to the gods

Chapter 410 Long Talk
Jax said, "Thanks to you. When we first met, I was only the seventeenth in line to the throne and was not valued by the family. Since I met you, my career has been on the rise. If nothing unexpected happens, I will become the fifth in line to the throne in our generation after we leave."

"So, besides Aiden, there are three others above you?"

“Yes. The bloodlines of those three are closest to the patriarch's, and it's almost impossible for me to surpass them unless I advance to the Grandmaster level. However, even if I do advance to the Grandmaster level, there's still Aiden. I'm already quite satisfied with this level,” Jax said.

"Contentment brings happiness," Zhou Leng said.

Jax looked around and whispered, "If you have any connections, try to get your hands on the 'War Shield Order' from the Great Battlefield."

"I've heard of it, but I don't know much about it," Zhou Leng said, feigning knowledge.

Jax said, "That is the real battlefield in the starry sky. The giants and dragons say that it belongs to their two races, but it doesn't."

"That must be a corner of a particularly large battlefield, except that there are probably more dragons and giants there."

"Moreover, the parties fighting there are not primitive civilizations, but most likely advanced civilizations."

"Because we can always encounter things that transcend rudimentary civilizations."

"If you're lucky, even finding a fragment of a weapon is equivalent to finding a semi-divine artifact."

"Many of the artifacts of the dragons and giants were forged from fragments of great battlefields."

"The most common items inside are the remains of demigods or even illusory gods, which are headless god components suitable for us martial artists."

"Nearly half of the headless gods of warriors are traded from giants or dragons, mainly from the Great Battlefield."

"It's very mysterious inside, and occasionally some life forms are born there. For example, the first Spine-Headed Demon Dragon of the Demon Prison came from there. There was also a green dragon called Emerald Wing, which hatched inside and was later discovered by the Crimson-Eyed Queen and taken back to the Dragon World."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Leng immediately recalled that green dragon that was clearly very powerful yet extremely lewd.

Thinking about it this way, he grew up on a battlefield, which forced him to be extremely cautious and shaped his personality.

No wonder he possessed a complete Starry Sky Technique like the "Mountain Slaughtering Battle Body".

"We humans joined the war of the ten realms late, and not many people went in. Only a few people, such as Zhao Dongjun, benefited from it. Some of the martial arts imprints came from inside. I went to Xiongjing not long ago to study Dongjun's imprints."

"Dragons and giants have entered many times, which is why their two races are so powerful."

"I've heard that the two races have accumulated a lot of treasures from other races in their warehouses, including martial arts treasures, but they have always refused to trade with us to prevent us humans from becoming too powerful."

Zhou Leng said, "I've heard of that. They've participated in many wars between the ten realms and their accumulated experience far surpasses that of humans."

Jax said, "Moreover, every time a Great Battlefield opens, the energy generated is enormous, and there is a great chance of triggering a Celestial Rank. In the last five Great Battlefields, three Celestial Ranks were triggered. It didn't trigger last time, so theoretically it's very likely to trigger this time."

"I heard you gained great benefits in the Heavenly Ranks before, so you can't miss this opportunity either."

Zhou Leng's eyes lit up as he recalled his experience at the Heavenly Ranks.

That experience at the Heavenly Ranks laid the foundation for my current situation, second only to Senior Tree in importance.

Without the help of the three Heavenly Trials, my martial arts foundation would never be so solid.

Jax said, "However, the Great Battlefield is a special location, and the Heavenly Rank is too strong, so very few people can obtain the Heavenly Rank there."

"Even if you fail to seize the Heavenly Rank, there are still various benefits."

"For example, the Crimson Queen, her talent is top-notch in the Ten Realms, but she still didn't get the Heavenly Rank in the Great Battlefield that year."

"But it also granted them immense power, laying the foundation for their ascension to godhood."

"I can't send you this level of information; I can only read it myself and then explain it to you."

Jax shared some more information, which Zhou Leng recorded.

After the two separated, Zhou Leng looked at the contents of Aiden's magic bag again.

This solved my big problem.

There was also high-grade spiritual jade. I was originally planning to spend money to buy one piece, but I ended up getting four pieces.

Zhou Leng thought for a moment and then found the Azure Flame.

He took out four pieces of spirit jade and said, "I remember you said that we could use ancient tree fossils and spirit jade to make a 'wood and jade amulet', right?"

"Correct."

"I'll provide the materials, you help me find a skilled craftsman to create it, and we'll calculate the cost together later. Approximately how many ancient fossils do I need?"

"It's about half the size of a fist, enough to make four servings."

"That's enough?"

"That's enough. What kind of items do you want to make? Generally, they're for blessings, protection, and cultivation."

"Blessings that bring good luck."

"Protective items to withstand sudden harm."

"Cultivation-related, enhances the cultivation effect of Spirit Earth Jade. Multiple effects can be added, but the overall effect will be weakened."

Zhou Leng said, "I want one that is purely for cultivation, and the other three are all for blessing and protection."

As he spoke, he handed the materials to Cang Fei Zhi Yan.

"Okay. This kind of high-quality product takes a long time to make. It will take at least two or three months, and at the slowest it may take more than half a year."

"Slow and steady wins the race, I understand."

Cang Fei Zhi Yan said, "I'm leaving soon. My family is pressuring me to stay, and they're afraid I'll die here."

Zhou Leng said, "I also want to use the Tree of Life to consolidate my realm."

"Still consolidating? You martial artists are truly striving for perfection."

"By the way, I also need to buy some special enchanting techniques, such as monster meat, dragon meat, or related cooking or medicine-making techniques. Can you get them? If not, I'll buy them from the Ice and Snow Cult."

"I thought it was something serious. This kind of thing is ostensibly forbidden from circulating among the realms, but in reality, it's known throughout all ten realms like a sieve. Wait a few days for me, and I'll help you collect all the relevant crafts from the ten realms... but they all require magical power... Oh, elves?"

“Yes.” Cang Fei Zhi Yan said enviously, “It’s a pity that my family’s strength is far inferior to that of the Ice and Snow Cult, otherwise we could have devoured a portion of the elves. The elves’ spellcasting talent is actually stronger than that of magic spirit masters, but they are clever but lack wisdom, which is why they have ended up like this.”

"In the short term, these spirits will mainly help me refine martial arts resources."

"This is the right choice. I will not only find you various crafts, but also some books and educational methods suitable for raising elves. By the way, I can also help you get some related magical equipment for refining medicines, but the price will be extremely high, so you should be prepared."

"I can't afford the high-end ones, but I can scrape together some for those in the billions." Zhou Leng felt a pang of heartache. Apart from what he used himself, he would probably exchange the rest of what he earned in the Treeman World for demonized equipment.

But this investment is well worth it. In the short term, it can provide a continuous supply of high-energy food and cultivation resources, and in the long term, it can recoup the investment.

The development of the Beast World can no longer be delayed.

"Come on, accompany me to the market and buy some things to take back to the Demon World. Who knows when we'll be able to come back next time."

The two headed to the market, buying local specialties from the Tree People world while chatting about the Demon Spirit Trials.

Zhou Leng also bought some gifts and products containing the Water of Life, which cost less than half the price of those in Rucheng, and planned to give them to his relatives and friends when he returned home.

Bring some to Li Linhan to help heal his injuries.

Bring some for Xu Qingjin; it's good for her beauty and skin.

Bring some for Zhao Nandi to help relieve his fatigue.

Send some to Hu Yi and Feng Wenhao's homes...

After buying many things, just as they were about to leave, Zhang Xiaoxiao's figure appeared at the entrance of an alley and looked over.

Zhou Leng let Cang Feizhiyan buy first, and then walked towards Zhang Xiaoxiao.

"Are you looking for me?"

"Yes. Uncle Tong is here too. He wants to ask you about information regarding the Blood of Tyranny. It's very important."

“Okay.” Zhou Leng followed Zhang Xiaoxiao into the dark alley without hesitation.

The two of them made several turns and entered an ordinary room.

Inside the room stood a large man with a gleaming bronze complexion, his skin even thicker and more textured than when they first met.

"Xiaoxiao, go outside and keep watch."

"Yes."

After Zhang Xiaoxiao left, the two talked in hushed tones.

Upon hearing that the Lush Roots and the Lush Scepter were heading to the tribe, Tong Tianxia remarked, "My family members served in the military, so I can understand their feelings. Sometimes, this is the only way."

The two talked for a long time before Zhou Leng bid farewell to Tong Tianxia and Zhang Xiaoxiao and left.

Zhang Xiaoxiao asked, "Uncle Tong, did you know each other before?"

“We met when he was a child.”

"I see. What did you all say?"

"a lot of."

Zhou Leng returned to the Tree Root Cave, chatted with Yin Huyue for a while, and continued to consume the Three Pills of Vibrating Blood, beginning a long period of cultivation and consolidation.

In the world of ferocious beasts, a huge young eight-toothed mammoth stands with a yellow dog the size of a calf on its back.

Beneath the yellow fur, a strange layer of black bony armor emerged, layer upon layer like scales.

The yellow dog has large, sharp teeth, with two large fangs that are half a foot long, protruding from its front lip, giving it a fierce appearance.

"Ow..."

The herd of eight-toothed mammoths led a large number of ferocious beasts to charge towards the hostile beasts ahead.

Big Yellow followed closely behind Little Eight, transforming into a yellow lightning bolt, fierce as a tiger.

Lianxiang Development Company is located underground.

Madam Xiyan sat in a chair, her legs wrapped in smooth, slightly shiny black leather trousers, her legs crossed, playing with the handle of a whip in her hand, and looking at Rao Mingxian.

Rao Mingxian lowered his head slightly, his expression respectful.

Rao Mingxian's eyes occasionally fell on the whip handle, and he was terrified.

It looks like an ordinary piece of wood, but it can spew out a powerful, sharp whip that has killed countless people.

"According to you, Gong Futing overestimated his abilities and was killed by Zhou Leng and his teammates?"

"Yes."

"It wasn't Zhou Leng who killed them alone?"

"Zhou Leng doesn't have that kind of strength."

Lady Xiyan said, "I heard that you intentionally helped Zhou Leng, which led to the annihilation of Gong Futing's entire army."

"Absolutely impossible, it's all just a rumor."

"Oh, Qiu Fusheng, come in," said Madam Xiyan.

Qiu Fusheng limped in, his back hunched, and greeted her with a broad smile, "Greetings, Madam."

“Rao Mingxian, confront him.” Madam Xiyan said with a smile.

Rao Mingxian glared at Qiu Fusheng, his eyes blazing with fury, and slowly said, "Qiu the Cripple, it was Zhang Xinglie who broke your leg back then. When we met again later, Zhou Leng let you go and didn't seek revenge, and I didn't make things difficult for you either. Why are you repaying kindness with enmity?"

Qiu Fusheng took a half step back in fright and looked at Madam Xiyan, saying, "Madam, I am not lying. The news has spread throughout the Demon Worship Cult members who went there this time. They all suspect that Rao Mingxian and Zhou Leng have an affair. Zhou Leng is a ruthless killer, why should we let him go? It must be that the two of them are having an affair."
