Martial arts ascend to the gods

Chapter 727 Forgiveness
An Tianzhi asked, "Zhou Leng, where are you?"

"Like a city."

“I’m in Huchang City, and I’m also going to Xima Mountain. You’ll be passing through on your way to Xima Mountain, so let’s go together,” An Tian knew.

"it is good."

Both parties enabled location services and added each other as friends.

Zhou Leng flew through the air, heading straight for Huchang in the southwest.

Upon approaching, he suddenly remembered that he was still a Grandmaster, so he returned to the ground.

Approaching Huchang, a middle-aged man could be seen standing in the sky above the outskirts of Huchang. He looked to be around thirty years old, but was actually over fifty.

He had a broad face and a large forehead, and wore a smiling, kind expression.

The two nodded slightly, An Tianzhi landed, and the two ran on the ground towards the Himalayas.

Upon getting closer, An Tianzhi looked at Zhou Leng with suspicion and said, "Your aura is indeed different from that of a Martial Saint or a Demigod, but it is far stronger than that of any Grandmaster King."

"I'm lucky; my body is stronger than that of a normal martial artist, which makes up for the lack of true qi," Zhou Leng said.

An Tianzhi sighed, "It's a real pity that your dantian is damaged. But fortunately, you accidentally obtained unknown power. Perhaps you can open up a new martial arts path for humanity."

"You flatter me, senior," Zhou Leng thought to himself, as he was still worried about the Starry Sky Reality.

The previously stored Starry Sky Energy has been completely used up.

Currently, the absorption of light and conversion into starlight energy relies entirely on the Tree Man's Light-Chasing Body and the Human's Eastern Light Body, which is relatively inefficient.

Therefore, Starry Sky True Energy is rarely used except in important battles.

Next, we must continue searching for the source of true energy in the stars.

The two initially talked about martial arts, but as they talked, they began to discuss the old stories of Changda.

An Tianzhi said in a deep voice, "The traitors of the Demon Worshiping Sect have been causing trouble for a long time and should be exterminated. Many of my comrades and friends have also been harmed by the Demon Worshiping Sect. Fortunately, you were not defeated by the Demon Worshiping Sect, otherwise, the Dragon Kingdom would have lost another Martial Saint in the future."

A strange light flashed in Zhou Leng's eyes as he slowly said, "The Demonic Cult has already killed many future Martial Saints, such as Zhang Xinglie, Li Shenkong, Chen Shouhu, Wang Boxiong, and Tong Tianxia, ​​and many, many more."

An Tianzhi shook his head and said, "Human geniuses are as numerous as fish crossing a river. Those who can reach the Martial Saint level are destined to become Martial Saints, and those who cannot will never reach it. This is a consensus among Martial Saints. I know you feel sorry for them, but there have been far too many such people throughout history. How can we possibly feel sorry for them all? You are about to be conferred a Sainthood, and you cannot waste your time on this. Our enemy is the demon demigod."

“If some mistakes are not thoroughly corrected, we will never be able to defeat the demons,” Zhou Leng said.

"You are still young. Once you advance to the Martial Saint realm and gain more experience, you will understand."

Zhou Leng said, "But history and facts tell us that 99% of human progress is driven by young people, or by older people starting in their youth. On the contrary, those older people with complex experiences have repeatedly been proven to be hindering human progress, even if they once promoted human progress in their youth. This list is very long; you can try to recall it."

An Tianzhi's mind was filled with countless people and historical events, and he was astonished to find that Zhou Leng was absolutely right.

He countered, "But the result was that the Eagle Alliance was defeated, and the Dragon Kingdom rose to power."

“That’s right, it declined because the Eagle Alliance was controlled by a group of old men from the Demonic Cult,” Zhou Leng said.

An Tianzhi shook his head slightly. To him or most of the upper echelons of the Dragon Kingdom, Zhou Leng was too young and too radical in his actions.

He smiled and asked, "How much do you know about the battle situation on the other side of the Himalayas?"

"We only looked at the general intelligence and missed many details."

"Since you're joining the war, I'll send you a semi-saint profile. Anyway, you'll have access to it soon."

An Tianzhi said, and then sent a message.

Zhou Leng clicked to take a look and found that it was all top-secret information about the foreign martial arts master, ten times more detailed than the information he had previously been able to obtain.

There are even the martial arts flaws of the martial arts masters.

"Thank you, An Sheng," Zhou Leng said.

"Hey, you'll be Zhou Sheng soon, no need to be so polite..."

An Tianzhi hesitated for a moment, then said, "My wife's cousin used to be the vice principal of Changda University. He's not a member of the Demonic Cult and wasn't involved in your affairs, but he's still implicated. This matter has far-reaching implications, and even as a Martial Saint, it's not appropriate for me to get involved. If you speak up, things will be much easier."

Zhou Leng remained silent for a moment, then said, "Since An Sheng has spoken, I should help. Or rather, if it were just my own matter, I would certainly help. However, have you heard of Lü Yuanhao?"

An Tianzhi shook his head and used the Magic Brain Search, but couldn't find it on the entire internet, so he had to use his privileges to search for internal information.

Zhou Lengdao said, "When he was very young, his father opened a cake shop... After his father died early... He lived a life of wandering... Later, he killed his enemy, and incidentally helped me kill my enemy... Finally, on the highest... step, he cut off his own head to pay for his crime."

An Tianzhi was multitasking, listening to Zhou Leng's words while reading internal documents.

After listening and reading, he didn't say a word.

Zhou Leng continued, "I don't actually care about that vice principal, I don't even care about those who were arrested. If An Sheng asked, I wouldn't refuse to help. But I care about Lü Yuanhao. If I forgive anyone, then, is Lü Yuanhao even human? Is his life even a life? How can I explain this to my past self? Should I first exonerate Lü Yuanhao and the righteous men of Wanyang before I have the right to pardon others?"

After a long while, An Tianzhi sighed, "Young people, they really have drive."

Zhou Leng didn't say anything more.

The two remained silent until they saw a continuous stretch of white mountains in the distance, bathed in the golden light of the setting sun.

Suddenly, a mountain in the far distance trembled slightly, and snow rolled down from it.

An Tianzhi frowned and said, "Be careful, there's frequent fighting on the south side of the Himalayas. Also, with the Ten Realms War approaching, the Demon Worshiping Cult has stopped pretending and has been causing chaos in various countries. We'll make our move when the time is right. Stay behind me, and retreat immediately if I join the battle..."

After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Zhou Leng, his gaze gentle. "Although we differ in some aspects, I was young once too. This era may need someone like me, or it may need someone like you. No one can be sure until the very end. Besides, I am also a martial artist who has mastered the New Heavenly Eternal Standing Fist. I'll take my leave first."

An Tianzhi reached out and patted Zhou Leng's shoulder, then suddenly accelerated and sped away.

Zhou Leng stared at An Tianzhi's retreating figure, recalling some things he had heard in the past.

When martial arts flourished on Blue Star, a few martial saints either lost their original intentions or were secretly influenced by the Demon Worship Cult, resulting in several major battles.

In the past, many places were destroyed by the Martial Saint.

Later, the martial arts masters had to join forces to resolve the conflict through negotiation and personal sparring.

Later, Zhao Dongjun ascended to sainthood, dominating an entire realm and facilitating the "Martial Saints' Consultation Meeting," which greatly reduced the conflicts between the ten realms.

However, for various reasons, it was called the "muddying the waters" meeting.

Especially within the Dragon Kingdom, the Martial Saints will try to avoid internal strife and gradually relinquish power to prevent them from becoming too powerful and disrupting the nation's development.

The martial saints realized that only by specializing in martial arts could they fight against the future hordes of demons and demigods.

As for matters below the Martial Saint level, those shall be left to the Supreme Court to resolve.

Therefore, Blue Star entered a relatively stable period of development, with Dragon Kingdom being the most stable and achieving the greatest success.

Martial saints are not omniscient or omnipotent; they also have shortcomings and weaknesses.

However, the martial saints of the Dragon Kingdom have always been doing what martial saints should do.

Despite being constantly criticized for being weak, the martial arts masters of the Dragon Kingdom still insisted on following the path they believed to be right.

Because they have learned too many lessons from the history of the world.

The pristine snow-capped mountains stretch across the azure sky.

An Tianzhi climbed alone to the sky, above the snow-capped mountains, and across the undulating Himalayas region.

This was a no-man's land, with little chance of connecting to the internet. Zhou Leng glanced at the information and content from the group chat, thinking as he ran.

The martial saints of the Dragon Kingdom have been considering the war of the ten realms and have always wanted to unite the martial saints of various countries.

The problem is that most of the martial arts masters in various countries are neutral and opportunistic.

The pro-war faction was unpopular, and the rest were all surrenderists, or even members of the Demon Worship Cult, protecting and protecting the Demon Worship Cult.

The information I just looked at about the foreign martial arts saints showed that there were at least twenty-five members of the demonic cult who were confirmed to have worshipped him, and there were many more hidden.

Zhou Leng believed in the judgment of the martial arts masters of the Dragon Kingdom, and that they were generally correct.

However, some details still need to be improved.

For example, since foreign martial arts masters cannot understand human language, they must communicate using a language that the foreign martial arts masters can understand.

Just as Zhou Leng was about to speed up, the image of the Heavenly Calamity Envoy flashed into his mind.

Many intelligence reports now point to the arrival of the God of Calamity, and no one knows what he is doing.

A hint of wariness flashed in Zhou Leng's eyes.

He was merely a calamity caused by heaven, remaining at the innate level, yet he was able to destroy the mother tree, which was close to the level of a virtuous god.

Now he is the God of Calamity, having reached the level of a demigod. No one knows how strong he can become.

As long as the God of Calamity lives, I cannot relax my vigilance for even a day.

Zhou Leng controlled his skin to transform into Zhu Shiji's appearance, and bypassed the snow mountain from the side to provide support.

While running, become aware of your body and your state of mind.

Having absorbed the altar power of the ferocious beast world, it has already qualified for promotion to a lower level.

However, because the time to ascend to sainthood was too short, the body has not yet been able to fully adapt to the power of the Martial Saint level.

Promoting someone too early could potentially create problems.

The best course of action right now is to absorb enough ancient beast blood to solidify the foundation of your body. Even if flaws appear, they can be smoothed out by your strong physical base.

"A single drop of ancient beast blood is far too little; its power is pitifully weak..."

Zhou Leng always felt that the blood of ancient beasts shouldn't be this weak.

They sped along the ground, crossing one snow-capped mountain after another.

The tremors in the southern Himalayas are getting stronger.

Avalanches occur frequently in the nearby snow-capped mountains.

In the distance, some people can be seen evacuating.

Before long, Zhou Leng climbed a snow-capped mountain and looked ahead from the summit.

Ahead lies a disputed area between the two countries, but due to the harsh environment and proximity to the Elephant Kingdom, the Dragon Kingdom struggled to resupply and had to retreat many years ago.

However, the Elephant Kingdom continued to migrate to this region.
