Martial arts ascend to the gods

Chapter 510 Changliu
The first thing that catches the eye is the gray-blue metal roof, and the room's style is completely different from that of the Ten Realms.

Slowly turning his head, he saw a tall human sitting imposingly on the sofa opposite him, exuding a strong aura that was extremely similar to that of those grandmasters, only slightly weaker than the Blood of Tyranny.

The man was wearing a white bone mask, and his eyes were bloodshot. He was looking over.

Zhou Leng quickly glanced at his entire body, then looked out the window.

In the distance, a purple mist hangs in the air.

He immediately stood up, cupped his hands in thanks to He Pengfei, and said, "Thank you, senior. Is this the residence of the Heavenly Bone Warriors?"

The next moment, realizing that the other party might not understand the Dragon Kingdom language, he slowly translated it into divine script in his mind before speaking it aloud.

"You know quite a lot," He Pengfei said.

"Huh?" Zhou Leng didn't expect that the other party was not only human, but also from China, judging from the accent.

"Sit down and tell me how Dragon Kingdom is doing now. Is that bastard Chen Shouhu dead or not? How's the Water Continent defense line? What about West Sea Demon City? Has the Eagle Alliance caused any trouble? How's the Demon Worship Cult doing? Besides you, who are the other new generation geniuses...?"

He Pengfei has been away from Blue Star for six years, and he has a lot of questions on his mind.

Zhou Leng vaguely guessed He Pengfei's identity, coughed lightly, and said, "Ask them one by one. Also, do you know Chen Shouhu?"

“I come from the Martial Arts Brigade,” He Pengfei said.

"He just broke through to the Grandmaster level this year. Because of his solid foundation, he was promoted to the Upper Grandmaster level early on, and he may be about to become a Great Grandmaster soon."

What is your relationship with Xu Ming?

“We met when we entered the great battlefield. He felt that I might have more potential and helped me in every way.”

"Let me see your Martial Arts City identity badge."

Zhou Leng was silent for a moment, then said, "I have a confidential identity."

“Then show us what doesn’t need to be kept secret,” He Pengfei said.

Zhou Leng opened the Martial Arts City APP and displayed some identities that did not need to be kept secret.

"Not bad. Where did you learn your martial arts? And some of Xu Ming's and the others' martial arts are extremely advanced. Did they activate a new Golden Crystal?"

"We discovered the ruins of the Ancient River Sect and learned a great deal of Ancient River Sect techniques."

"A lot?" He Pengfei stared at Zhou Leng, intrigued.

Zhou Leng guessed his identity in his mind, and then briefly talked about some things related to the Ancient River Sect.

“Okay…” He Pengfei sighed softly, his voice tinged with melancholy.

Subsequently, He Pengfei inquired about many things, including the Huang Mengpai school.

He remained silent for a long time after learning that Huang Mengpai had attacked Rucheng and killed Zhao Tong.

Finally, He Pengfei looked at Zhou Leng and said, "As expected, your security clearance level is higher than mine."

Zhou Lengze said, "I'd really like to know why you're here, and what's going on here."

He Pengfei spread his arms and rested them on the top of the sofa back, crossed his legs, and said, "It's not that I don't want to talk about it, it's that I can't. However, since you passed the Divine Might Trial, theoretically you are a Heavenly Bone Warrior, and I can tell you some things about this place."

"You saw that enormous broken bone of the heavens. The outside world guessed correctly. It is indeed the leg bone of a giant god, sealed by our god. Using the power within, combined with the high giant trial, the broken bone trial was created."

"The Divine Might Purple Mist is only the first level. You... are rather unique, becoming the fourth trial participant in countless years to pass through the final place. The good news is that you will surely be valued by the lords. After you ascend to godhood, remember to help me and the rest of you. I'll follow you. The bad news is that you will stay here for a long time before heading to the main star."

Zhou Leng's eyes flickered, but he didn't say anything.

He Pengfei continued, "Regarding my god, remember, do not think about it, do not ask about it, do not speak of it, and do not know it. Do you understand?"

"I understand." Zhou Leng had already been reminded by Emerald Wings.

“Very good. In theory, after entering Heavenly Bone City, you will be randomly assigned to a portal to undergo the Heavenly Bone Trial. If you succeed, you will become a Heavenly Bone Warrior.”

"However, you will be treated differently, or rather, you will be given a high-level test that is both dangerous and rewarding. As for what kind of test it is, that is not up to me to decide."

"In addition, the emergence of the Heavenly Rank this time has changed a lot. At first, you can accept the peaceful trial, but in the end... it will probably be more tragic than the ordinary Great Battlefield."

"As expected, not many will leave alive. It might be a good thing for you to stay in Heavenly Bone City."

"By the way, I have a very important question for you: do you want to stay in Heavenly Bone City, enter a higher civilization, and have an unimaginable path to godhood, or do you want to return to Blue Star?"

"Back to Blue Star," Zhou Leng answered without hesitation.

"I told you to think this through carefully. The path to godhood for advanced civilizations is not the same as the path to godhood for Earth."

"Back to Earth." Zhou Leng replied without hesitation.

"why?"

"If I am not strong enough, even if I enter a higher civilization, I may not be able to become a god. It would be better to return to Earth. If I am strong enough, I can become a god on Earth as well. Besides, that is the place I want to protect."

He Pengfei said slowly, "Then you might miss the chance to become a god."

“I fear the loss of my homeland more than the fear of missing out on becoming a god,” Zhou Leng said.

He Pengfei looked Zhou Leng up and down and said, "Having gone through the Divine Might Trial, your mental will seems to be even stronger."

"Thank you for your help, Remnant Bone." Zhou Leng expressed his sincere gratitude.

“I think you’re mocking us…” He Pengfei rolled his eyes at Zhou Leng. “According to the adults’ orders, you have to stay here. However, if something happens to you, but a replacement can be found, you will still have a chance to leave.”

Zhou Leng's heart stirred, and looking at He Pengfei, he became even more certain of his identity.

He Pengfei and Zhou Leng chatted slowly, talking about Blue Star and the Great Battlefield.

Towards the end of the conversation, He Pengfei asked, "You said before that Zhao He came in with you?"

"Yes."

He Pengfei lowered his chin slightly, then slowly raised it again, and said, "Let's make a deal. You help me kill Zhao He, and then tell Zhao Cong that I, He Pengfei, killed him. In return, I'll help you leave." The eldest son of the Zhao family is Zhao Cong, the second son is Zhao He, and the third son is Zhao Tong.

Zhou Leng paused for a moment, a multitude of thoughts flashing through his mind, before finally saying slowly, "I'm on an overseas assignment."

He Pengfei chuckled and said, "Back then, I was also sent abroad."

Why did you kill Zhao He?

He Pengfei turned to look at the boundless purple mist outside the window and said, "Six years ago, we entered the Great Battlefield with Zhao Cong. In the end, he gained unimaginable martial arts resources and left the Great Battlefield, while my comrades and I stayed here."

He slowly turned his head and looked at Zhou Leng, saying, "What Zhao Cong did back then, Zhao He will do the same thing this time."

"What did Zhao Cong do?" Zhou Leng asked.

He Pengfei said, "You killed Zhao He, so I'll tell you."

Zhou Leng remained silent for a long time, then gently shook his head and said, "I don't like Zhao He and his group, but I can't kill someone without evidence, especially a very strong expert."

“Aren’t those funerals, sacrifices, feasts, and cries of grief evidence?” He Pengfei asked.

Zhou remained silent.

“Every Chinese person should kill Zhao He,” He Pengfei said.

Zhou Leng remained silent.

He Pengfei said, "Be careful if you encounter Zhao He. The resources his family can mobilize are unimaginable. He definitely has the Headless God, and as for life-saving magical artifacts or demonic artifacts, he'll have no fewer than three. Oh, by the way, has Zhao He joined the Ancient River Sect?"

"The Ancient River Sect will never accept members of the Zhao family." Zhou Leng's tone was calm, but He Pengfei sensed an inexplicable firmness in his voice.

"Then I would like to join the Ancient River Sect?" He Pengfei asked.

"As long as you recite the oath to join the Ancient River Sect, you can join. If you violate the sect rules, you will be burned by heavenly fire and turned to ashes in an instant," Zhou Leng said.

He Pengfei recalled the process of the Divine Might Trial and vaguely guessed Zhou Leng's identity and status.

He Pengfei asked, "How is Xu Mingren?"

“He’s a wonderful older brother who spares no effort in helping younger generations and has friends all over the world. I’ve met many good people, and he’s one of them,” Zhou Leng said.

He Pengfei asked, "Did he offer to help you?"

"Yes."

"He looks exactly like his father did back then."

"His father?"

He Pengfei didn't answer, but asked, "How are you feeling?"

"It's back to normal."

"Fully recovered?"

"Fully recovered."

He Pengfei glared at Zhou Leng with annoyance, walked over, channeled his inner energy, then silently withdrew his hand and quietly turned back to sit down.

"Aren't you very famous in China?" he asked.

"Somewhat famous, but not really well-known."

"How many geniuses your age are there on Earth?"

“I don’t know, but I know Li Shenkong is stronger than me, and Zhang Xinglie is probably about the same as me, but some seniors have said that his talent is above mine,” Zhou Leng said.

"I don't quite believe it." He Pengfei had seen geniuses from advanced civilizations.

Excluding those geniuses who could illuminate the future for billions of years, the performance of ordinary star-sky geniuses in the final land was slightly better than Zhou Leng's, but only by a limited margin.

Now, humanity has produced three in one go.

“This is a good thing,” Zhou Leng said.

He Pengfei sighed, "Of course it's a good thing, but the premise is that you can live to become saints. Be careful, the war of the ten realms is getting closer and closer."

"Can't you go back?"

He Pengfei shook his head and said, "You rest here for a day. Tomorrow, I will take you to participate in the second trial."

Zhou Leng stayed at He Pengfei's residence, taking elixirs and meditating to cultivate.

During breaks, stand by the window and gaze into the distance.

I've been having a bit of a rough time lately.

First, his body was corroded by a deadly poison at Tiger Hill Fortress, and just as it was healing, it was smashed by the Divine Might Trial.

The body's flesh and blood appear to have recovered, but it's all grown back; the old flesh and blood have long been vaporized over time.

Although there was something vaguely different about my body, the process was quite brutal.

On second thought, the Starry Sky Trial seemed even more brutal, so I felt relieved.

Most importantly, is he really going to be stuck here forever, unable to return to Earth?

The next day, He Pengfei spent a fortune treating Zhou Leng to a feast of otherworldly beast meat, and then walked to a blue teleportation portal.

Not far away, some Skybone Warriors watched, their scarlet eyes filled with curiosity, hostility, and undisguised jealousy.

He Pengfei said, "The door in front of you is called the Final Door, and it is rarely opened. You will understand its value as you undergo more trials in the starry sky. Once you go in, it will assign you a second trial according to the will of our god. If you are teleported to an unknown place, do not panic; it is all a test from our god for you."

Zhou Leng stepped in.
