Maoshan World: The young marshal starts!

Chapter 331 learned
Soon, Uncle Nine and Zhaixing flew away from Star Island.

The remaining three, Si Mu, Qian He, and Tianxia Diyi Mao, also immediately sent a message to Guan Shaoqing via the spirit bird.

"Boom--!"

at the same time.

On an uninhabited island on the edge of the Xingzhou Republic's seas, thunder rumbled, and the terrifying power of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth manifested, turning into heavenly tribulation lightning that covered the sky. The destructive aura swept across the world, giving people the feeling that the end of the world had arrived.

Under the heavenly tribulation, Guan Shaoqing's figure also appeared. Dressed in white, he seemed otherworldly, standing on the mountain peak of the small island like a banished immortal riding the wind.

This tribulation was brought about by Guan Shaoqing, because his cultivation had once again broken through.

However, given Guan Shaoqing's current cultivation level, even a breakthrough in any minor realm would be absolutely forbidden by the end of the Dharma world, hence the appearance of the Heavenly Tribulation.

"boom--"

Soon, accompanied by a thunderous roar that shook the heavens and the earth, the heavenly tribulation officially erupted, with bolts of lightning formed from the power of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth continuously falling from the sky and crashing down on Guan Shaoqing below.

Guan Shaoqing remained calm, simultaneously activating his martial arts true blood and thunder token. He used his martial arts true blood to fight against the heavenly tribulation while using his thunder token to absorb and refine the thunder power of the heavenly tribulation.

For Guan Shaoqing

Although the heavenly tribulation lightning was dangerous, it was also the best nourishment for him to cultivate the Lightning Thunder Fist and break through to the tenth grade of the Lightning Thunder Fist to condense the Thunder Dao Fruit. Each time he absorbed and refined the heavenly tribulation lightning, it was equivalent to an increase of tens of thousands of merit points.

The merit points required to break through to the tenth rank of the Lightning Thunder Fist and reach the Great Perfection realm are 100,000.

So that's the calculation.

If Guan Shaoqing can withstand ten Heavenly Tribulations at most, then even without using merit points, his Lightning Thunder Fist can directly break through to the tenth-grade Great Perfection realm and condense the Thunder Dao Fruit.

"Rumble--"

Amidst deafening thunder.

The heavenly tribulation erupted completely, with endless thunderbolts rolling in like a tidal wave, engulfing everything and completely engulfing the entire island in a thunderstorm.

During the tribulation, Guan Shaoqing unleashed his full power, fighting against the tribulation while simultaneously absorbing and refining the lightning power it unleashed.

The whole process lasted for more than two hours.

[Ding! Upgrade complete. The "Ming Shen Martial Canon" has been upgraded to level six.]

More than two hours later.

The calamity dissipated.

In Guan Shaoqing's mind, the information notification sound of the Creation Book also rang out, and his martial arts cultivation once again broke through, with the "Ming Shen Martial Canon" breaking through to the sixth level.

Now let's look at Guan Shaoqing's personal information.
-
Name: Guan Shaoqing;

Cultivation level: Mid-stage Martial Saint, Early-stage Nascent Soul;
功法；明神武典·六层【七层：0/30000W】、上清大洞真经·十三层【十四层：0/20000W】、闪电奔雷拳·九品【十品：40000W/100000W】、净天地神咒·九品、天雷术·九品、神行术·九品、六丁六甲护身术·九品；

Merit points: 3200;

Three years passed.

Guan Shaoqing's cultivation level also saw another significant increase, and he did not stagnate after reaching the Martial Saint realm in martial arts.

First, there's his cultivation level. Two years ago, after reaching the Martial Saint realm in martial arts, Guan Shaoqing further improved his cultivation level in Taoism, breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm.

The primordial spirit realm is also extremely profound. Cultivators in this realm fuse their soul and will with their golden core to form a primordial spirit. From then on, all of the cultivator's cultivation is contained within the primordial spirit. As long as the cultivator's primordial spirit does not perish, they will not die and can even separate their primordial spirit from their body to possess another person.

In the cultivation world, cultivators at the Yuan Shen realm are also called True Persons, corresponding to the Martial Saint realm.

At this moment, two years after his cultivation level had also improved and broken through to the Nascent Soul realm, he was now in a new position.

Guan Shaoqing's martial arts cultivation has also broken through once again, advancing from the early stage of Martial Saint to the middle stage of Martial Saint.

"Mid-stage Martial Saint".

Feeling the surge of power within his body after the breakthrough.

A smile involuntarily appeared on Guan Shaoqing's face.

His efforts over the past three years have finally paid off. Not only has his cultivation level successfully broken through to the Nascent Soul realm, but his martial arts cultivation has also advanced to the mid-stage of Martial Saint. His three years of fighting demons all over Asia have not been in vain.

However, Guan Shaoqing did not expect that this breakthrough in the mid-stage of Martial Saint would actually attract a heavenly tribulation.

"It seems that in this degenerate age, any breakthrough in any minor realm will inevitably be subject to heavenly tribulation."

Guan Shaoqing thought to himself.

But looking at the information panel, the cultivation value of Lightning Strike Fist surged again.

Guan Shaoqing suddenly felt that the many heavenly tribulations were not entirely a bad thing for him. At least his Lightning Thunder Fist cultivation was rapidly improving under the heavenly tribulations. At the current rate, he would probably be able to directly improve and break through to the tenth grade Great Perfection and condense the Thunder Dao Fruit after a few more heavenly tribulations.

If the Thunder Dao Fruit is successfully condensed, it will not only be a simple increase in strength for Guan Shaoqing, but will also mean that he has already stepped into the gate of immortality.

One of the core principles of becoming an immortal is to transcend one's own path and condense the fruit of one's path. However, throughout history, countless people have spent their entire lives without ever transcending their own path and condensing the fruit of their path.

"Next, I will continue to focus on martial arts and raise my martial arts cultivation to the peak of Martial Saint. Then, I will improve my cultivation in the Dao and raise it to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. Finally, I will cultivate the Lightning Thunder Fist and the Purifying Heaven and Earth Divine Mantra, striving to break through to the tenth-grade Great Perfection realm and condense the Dao Fruit. In this way, breaking through to the Martial God and Dao Entry realms should be a sure thing."

Guan Shaoqing made another decision in his heart.

The realms of Martial God and Dao Entry are also major realms above the realms of Martial Saint and Yuan Shen (Primordial Spirit).

Once one's cultivation truly reaches the level of Martial God or Daoist, then one has truly and completely established oneself at the pinnacle of the human cultivation world, only one step away from becoming an immortal.

Because beyond the God of War and the Daoist path lies the Immortal.

Then, he spent another half an hour familiarizing himself with and mastering the cultivation level he had just broken through to.

Just as Guan Shaoqing was preparing to return to Xingdao.

"Jiji——"

Suddenly, a spirit bird flew from afar and landed on Guan Shaoqing's hand, and then a message flew out from the spirit bird.

The spirit bird, through its four eyes, informed Guan Shaoqing of the drought demon and that Uncle Jiu and Zhaixing had already returned to China ahead of time.

"Hanba."

After receiving the message from the spirit bird.

Guan Shaoqing's eyes lit up.

Drought demons are good.

This is a terrifying zombie at the level of a Martial Saint, a whole realm higher than the Flying Corpse. It's conceivable that killing such a terrifying zombie would yield a considerable amount of merit points.

Guan Shaoqing then took a step forward and flew directly towards Star Island.

In less than half an hour.

Guan Shaoqing then flew over a thousand miles back to Star Island.

Three years have passed, and Xingdao Island has undergone tremendous changes compared to three years ago. In particular, Xingdu City, the capital of the Republic of Xingzhou, has seen skyscrapers rise one after another, and various modern vehicles such as cars flow endlessly on the roads, already showing some of the characteristics of a modern metropolis in later generations.

In addition, other administrative regions of the Republic of Sin Chew, such as Kuala Lumpur, have also undergone tremendous changes and developments in the past three years.

During these three years, under Guan Shaoqing's overall planning, the Republic of Singapore has developed rapidly and has basically achieved full modernization.

In terms of development, the Republic of Singapore has now definitely ranked among the top in the world, with its technology, military, medicine, and commerce sectors experiencing particularly rapid growth.

The reason why the Republic of Singapore was able to develop so rapidly was not only due to its unique geographical advantages, but also mainly because of World War I.

Now, three years have passed, and World War I has completely ended. The outcome of the war, as in history, was the defeat of the Central Powers, including the German Empire and Italy.

However, under Guan Shaoqing's command, the Republic of Singapore gained a great deal of wealth during World War I, which propelled its development onto a super-fast track.

In addition to wealth, Guan Shaoqing also recruited many top Western researchers to the Republic of Singapore.

It can be said that throughout World War I, the Republic of Singapore had both money and manpower.

Under such circumstances, it would be impossible for the Republic of Singapore not to develop rapidly.

However, although the Republic of Singapore led by Guan Shaoqing made a fortune from World War I.

But the United States will definitely earn just as much, perhaps even more than the Republic of Singapore. After all, the United States' original size is far greater than that of the Republic of Singapore, which has only been established for a few years.

After this war, if we were to discuss the overall national strength of countries around the world, the United States would undoubtedly be the leader.

Despite the fact that in later history it seems that the United States only began to become a world superpower after World War II, it is still a different story.

In fact, as early as World War I, the United States had already quietly risen to the top of the world in terms of comprehensive national strength.

As for the former world hegemon, Great Britain, its power has essentially declined after this war. Although Great Britain and the Allied Powers seemed to have won the war, the price and losses they paid were enough to cripple Great Britain and other countries.

However, Guan Shaoqing did not pay much attention to the rise of the United States.

After all, although the United States made a fortune in this war, its strength secretly rose to the top of the world.

However, the benefits gained by the Republic of Singapore are not small, and its development is also quite fast. Although the Republic of Singapore's strength cannot compare with that of the United States, it is now very powerful compared to other countries in the world. Few countries can suppress the Republic of Singapore, and the United States should not think it can be easily controlled.

Said without politeness.

In terms of overall strength.

Even setting aside Guan Shaoqing, this human nuclear weapon
Today, the Republic of Sinchu is considered a powerful nation on the international stage, and many countries around the world have begun to treat it as such and have taken the initiative to establish diplomatic relations with it.
