Martial arts ascend to the gods

Chapter 572 Singularity
Although there are risks, the risk level is not high. Besides, who would dare to lay a hand on the nephew of the Zhao family patriarch?

At worst, I'll just admit my mistake, lower my head, it's no big deal, I used to do that all the time.

After much deliberation, Gao Tianlong decided on this method.

There was a knock on the door.

“President Gao.” Rao Mingxian’s voice rang out.

Gao Tianlong immediately stood up, opened the door, and said with a smile, "Brother Rao, you are a distinguished guest, please come in."

Looking at the young Rao Mingxian, Gao Tianlong felt a little envious.

Although the Rao family has declined, Rao Mingxian went to the Great Battlefield and greatly increased his strength. As expected, he was granted a Grandmaster-level magic potion by the Demonic Church.

At that time, he would be a grandmaster of the Demonic Cult, considered a mid-to-high-level figure.

In the future, when Earth is occupied, we will have to rely on them to some extent.

When Rao Mingxian met Zhao He before, he was very respectful, bowing his head and bending over.

Now, when he sees Gao Tianlong, he just smiles slightly and straightens his back.

The two walked to the black leather sofa and sat down together.

Gao Tianlong personally brewed tea for Rao Mingxian.

The two talked in hushed tones about the Demon Worship Sect and the Zhao family.

Finally, Gao Tianlong said, "Brother Rao, it's not that I'm being noisy, but today Xiongcheng asked me about the 'Six Volumes of Dongjun' again. I heard that the second brother assigned you to find it, so I can only ask you. Please don't mind."

Rao Mingxian laughed and said, "We're all working for the Zhao family, so how could I blame you? However, as you know, the significance of the 'Six Volumes of Dongjun' is unimaginable, comparable to a celestial artifact. It's not something that's easy to find."

The two discussed the "Six Volumes of Dongjun" and explored various possibilities.

Suddenly, Gao Tianlong froze.

Rao Mingxian looked at him with suspicion.

Gao Tianlong revealed a mysterious smile and said, "I know a place you definitely haven't looked for."

"Where?"

"Broken sword, Zhao Sheng's broken sword."

Rao Mingxian seemed to be thinking about something, and said, "I have indeed heard of it."

"If that old geezer hadn't come looking for me, I wouldn't have thought of this! Do you think that broken sword could be related to the 'Six Scrolls of Dongjun'?"

"Very likely!" Rao Mingxian became interested.

Gao Tianlong said, "I'll call my older cousin tonight and see what their attitude is. If they agree, we'll go get it."

"This... isn't a good idea. I heard that the broken sword is of great significance; it was personally given to that person by Zhao Sheng."

Gao Tianlong pondered for a moment and said, "Going directly to ask for it is indeed not a good idea. Let me think... If the Xiongcheng Museum wants to hold a special exhibition about my grandfather, the museum and the Zhao family can go together to borrow it and say that they want to tell the story of the broken sword to the children of Xiongcheng. What do you think?"

"Mr. Gao is amazing!" Rao Mingxian gave a thumbs up.

Gao Tianlong laughed heartily.

After seeing Rao Mingxian off, Gao Tianlong called Zhao Cong, the eldest son of the Zhao family.

"Big cousin, it's me." Even over the phone, Gao Tianlong maintained a proper posture, bowing his head and speaking humbly.

"Ah."

"Grandpa's broken sword is still in Zhao Lianshuo's hands in Rucheng. Is it possible that it is related to the 'Six Volumes of Dongjun'?"

"Hmm...that's certainly possible."

“We can take back Zhao Gong under the guise of a museum exhibition. I’ve inquired, and he’s just a retired old man; he won’t cause any trouble.”

"I'll send someone over tomorrow, and they'll also bring a generous gift as a token of our exchange," Zhao Cong said.

"My cousin is right, my skills are still lacking," Gao Tianlong said with a smile.

"Is that mine related to Zhou Leng?"

"There is some connection. He obtained the shares by using his martial arts privileges. If he can take them, so can we. He's all alone, and it's uncertain whether he'll even have any descendants. What would he need so many mines for? Our Zhao family is large and powerful, with many descendants. Of course, we should take more. Besides, that mine has already been divided among several companies. It wouldn't look good to take it back."

"Transfer the money for the share acquisition to his account as soon as possible, and don't let a small matter cause a big fuss."

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it tomorrow. By the way, will his martial arts skills be able to continue?"

"If his martial arts skills can be continued, will he still need to rely on foreign powers?"

Gao Tianlong smiled and said, "I understand. I guarantee everything will be handled properly."

After finishing his call with Zhao Cong, Gao Tianlong was still worried. Since he didn't have firsthand information, he habitually called his sister Gao Tianfeng, but left a message while in airplane mode.

After a long while, Gao Tianfeng called back, her voice languid.

"elder brother."

"What should we do about Zhou Leng's matter? It has already alarmed the demigods of the five clans. Our family's mine is somewhat related to Zhou Leng."

“Those who need to be dealt with will be dealt with. I sacrificed a manager and two employees of the media company. According to the information we have received, many of the heads of the major media outlets that were at the forefront of the fight have been dismissed. Changda has been completely replaced from top to bottom. The first few people involved in Zhou Leng’s municipal police station, inspection office and task force have all been dismissed, and several have been expelled from the military academy.”

Gao Tianlong gasped, "Is it that serious? I thought it would just be a warning."

"I heard from my elder brother that the higher-ups have also discovered the internal conflict. They originally wanted to take action, but there were many obstacles. After all, the higher-ups are not monolithic and have to consider all aspects. This time, the appearance of demigods and the inquiry letters from the five clans have had too great an impact. The higher-ups took the opportunity to make a decision to turn the blade inward and start a strict investigation. As before, they will not say anything on the surface but act in secret to avoid being coerced by the lower levels."

"Huh? Won't this affect us?"

"Not really, it's just a new round of replacements, there's no real change."

"What will Zhou Leng's status be like after that?"

“I heard from those people that martial arts have been cut off, and it’s impossible for him to pursue a martial path. But the literary path, with his experience, is a double-edged sword. The higher-ups won’t like his sharp edge; they need stability. So, the best treatment is to go to the United Front Department. He’s on good terms with all the tribes, so it’s a good place for him.”

"Then I'm relieved. I was worried he'd take it back to the mine."

Gao Tianlong breathed a sigh of relief. The various departments of the Martial Academy had different levels of authority, and the United Front Department was not among the top departments in the Martial Academy's hierarchy.

Gao Tianfeng said, "Brother, you really are something. We agreed to leave them 10%, but you just quietly ate it all."

Gao Tianlong said, “You’ve been around important people all these years, so your standards are naturally high. But I also need to leave some money for my brother and me to save for our funerals. For so many years, they’ve been eating meat while we’ve been drinking soup. Now that we have a chance to eat meat too, what’s wrong with eating a few more bites? Every time I see you go to the Zhao family, I… sigh…”

"Alright, go about your business. The sixteen families are still trying to figure things out, and I don't want to get involved, but there's nothing I can do."

"Let's just take action."

"Don't talk nonsense! Zhou Leng is no longer someone we can easily mess with. We're going to send a message to him, telling him to leave Blue Star and retire to an alien race, so that we never see each other again."

Gao Tianlong laughed and said, "That's good. I hope he's smart enough to know what he should and shouldn't do, and not think that just because he has a different race, he can do whatever he wants in the Dragon Kingdom."

World of ferocious beasts.

As soon as Zhou Leng arrived at Mammoth Mountain, he was warmly received by the Mammoth tribe. He ate and drank all kinds of high-grade medicinal fruits. Because he ate too much, he was unable to absorb all the medicinal power and fainted.

The eight-toothed mammoths thought he was drunk and didn't pay any attention.

He remained unconscious for two days and two nights before waking up.

Fortunately, there were no side effects; if it were an ordinary person with innate constitution, they would have gone mad from practicing qi cultivation long ago.

After waking up and doing some light exercise, I joined the army of eight-toothed mammoths on their conquest.

Without true qi, many martial arts techniques become unusable.

However, due to his excessive physical strength, his destructive power was only slightly weaker than when he was at his peak.

Slightly weaker than the Innate King, yet still an Innate King.

Zhou Leng felt that his strength had not been weakened much, which made him feel much better. He no longer worried about the future and devoted himself to the battle.

Through a series of exhilarating real-world battles, I gradually became familiar with my new body.

Without the influence of true qi, I wasn't used to it at first.

But gradually, I became aware of many details that I had never noticed before.

My understanding of my body is becoming more and more thorough.

The opponents were all powerful innate ferocious beasts, and without the protection of the Taiqing Sea Robe, his body was frequently injured.

Fortunately, the Star Phoenix Rejuvenation Technique can also be activated without true qi, although the healing effect is slightly weaker, it is still a top-tier technique.

"It seems I need to find time to return to the Tree People World, buy Earth-Walking Magic Artifacts, and excavate Ancient Tree Fossils. Even without True Qi, enough Ancient Tree Fossils and Starry Sky True Energy can greatly increase the number of Star Phoenix Feathers."

"It needs to be at least ten thousand Star Phoenix Feathers."

After each day's battle, Zhou Leng would take out the Solar Shield Disc and begin his cultivation.

At first, it was impossible to complete the cultivation.

The true energy of the starry sky simply transforms into an indestructible celestial body or a phoenix feather. Zhou Leng was not discouraged and continued to study the divine text of the "Primordial True Energy Technique".

A full month passed until the first line of divine text in "Original True Power" formed a phantom image in my mind, completing the initial memorization.

hum...

Zhou Leng's vision went black and then bright; his consciousness left his body and entered a vast starry sky.

One's own body seems to be an extremely tiny dot, invisible and intangible, but it has a faint power that can absorb external matter.

The starry sky may appear empty, but it actually contains a large amount of cosmic dust and other matter.

A vast number of tiny particles are drawn together by the stars, sometimes even spanning billions of light-years to form peculiar web-like structures.

Zhou Leng's consciousness silently floated in the starry sky.

Before long, some cosmic dust approached.

The body's suction force is like invisible giant hands, grabbing at cosmic dust.

Some cosmic dust gathered together to form a small ball, no bigger than a fist.

Zhou Leng was somewhat confused, not knowing what had happened or what he had become, but he let things take their course.

One year, two years...

Ten thousand years, twenty thousand years...

One hundred million years, two hundred million years...

At first, time passed slowly, but soon it seemed to be accelerated, rushing by rapidly.

As a large amount of cosmic dust is absorbed by the body, it grows larger and larger.

Zhou Leng has become a peculiar star.

The cosmic dust that makes up the body is constantly rotating, forming a disk-like structure.

The interior becomes increasingly dense, the pressure intensifies, the temperature rises, and the body grows larger.

It is also adsorbing more and more cosmic dust.

Until one day, a nebula filled with a large amount of cosmic dust approached.

Zhou Leng seemed to transform into a ravenous beast, mobilizing all his power to absorb these stellar clouds.

Strange forces remain in stellar clouds.

These forces converge and continuously move closer to the dense core of the star.

As more and more cosmic matter is absorbed, the internal activity of the stars that make up the body becomes more and more intense.

After countless years, the changes within Xingchen's body finally reached a critical point.

Density, temperature, pressure, etc., reach their limits.

boom!
The entire interior of the star was ignited, and then the ignition spread outwards.

Wild flames engulfed the entire star.

A star is born.

The star erupts with terrifying heat and particles, incinerating and pulverizing everything around it.

Once the entire star stabilized, a flash of light appeared before Zhou Leng's eyes, and he appeared at Mammoth Mountain.

Looking at the time, I realized I had been meditating for a whole month.

Apart from a slight hunger, I felt nothing else; instead, I experienced an indescribable sense of clarity, understanding, and joy.

Martial arts perception.

There is an extra point in a place unknown to the body.

It was something similar to the dantian, but also different from it.

It is located at the center of the body, but it is something that exists between reality and illusion.

Zhou Leng smiled slightly.

The true energy singularity can also be called the true energy dantian.

Having a true energy singularity means that one can continuously absorb true energy from the outside world and store it in the true energy singularity.

"Original True Energy Techniques" is in its initial stage.

"Next, the biggest goal is to find the true energy of the stars."

"We don't know how much of the starry sky in the solar shield can be used, but it's better to be prepared."

"In theory, if the Great Battlefield exists, it may also exist in other places."

Zhou Leng put aside his distracting thoughts and carefully sensed the true energy singularity.

Strands of starlight can leave the solar shield and enter the singularity of true energy the instant they touch the body.

The True Energy Singularity greedily absorbed and stored the True Energy of the Stars.

The "Original True Energy Technique" is very crude, with only three functions: absorption, storage, and external release.

Since I've just started cultivating, I can only absorb and store energy. Before I accumulate enough star energy within my body, I can't release it outwards.

After a long time, the singularity overflowed and stopped absorbing energy.

Zhou Leng opened his eyes, got up, and carefully sensed the sensation.

The body is full of strength.

That feeling was very peculiar.

Previously, the true energy flowed through the body like water.

The starry sky now feels like light, filling my entire being at all times.

Where one exists, all exist; where one exists, all exist.

Zhou Leng stepped out of the tent, where Xiao Ba and Da Huang were guarding the entrance.

An elephant and a dog walked over, looking at Zhou Leng curiously, then looked at each other.

This hairless ferocious ape looks very ordinary, without even any true energy, but it is full of vitality and spirit, even more so than before.

As a Void Ancient Beast, Xiao Ba faintly sensed an extremely high-level aura emanating from Zhou Leng.

Xiao Ba rolled its eyes, stretched out its huge elephant trunk, and bound Zhou Leng with only 80% of its strength.

At this moment, Xiao Ba has already reached the level of a Primordial King and is preparing to advance to the level of a Grandmaster.

Zhou Leng took a slow breath and slowly pulled his arms outward.

Not knowing how to use the Starry Sky True Energy, I could only tell myself with my mind to go all out.

The ferocious beasts nearby also looked over.

A hairless ferocious ape of Zhou Leng's size is stronger than even a mid-level grandmaster, let alone a lower-level grandmaster.

Zhou Leng clearly sensed the true energy within his body expanding slowly like light, extending outwards along with his arms.

The elephant trunk binding Zhou Leng was slowly pried open.

Although the power of an elephant's trunk is far less than that of its legs and the impact of its body, it is enough to crush any ferocious ape.

Seeing Zhou Leng's immense strength, Xiao Ba released its nose and jumped up with joy, causing the earth to tremble.

This means that Zhou Leng has recovered.

Zhou Leng smiled.

Take out a tungsten steel ball from the magic bag, which is harder than a steel ball.

With a gentle rub, the tungsten steel is crushed into powder.

The smile on his face grew even wider.

The new physical strength is indeed superior to that of before.

However, the total amount accumulated was too small, and it took about one-tenth of it to stretch out Xiao Ba's trunk.

One percent of the tungsten steel was crushed.

The total amount is too small.
