Immortal Martial Saint, starting with unlimited stat points

Xijiang County, Observatory.

Tang Ying sat cross-legged in the Observatory, wearing a plain white robe, her long hair cascading down like a waterfall, her beautiful face suddenly furrowing.

"Someone, bring me the celestial map."

Outside the curtain, a maid responded.

As the director of the Xijiang County Observatory, Tang Ying was responsible for observing the fortunes of the entire Xijiang County.

She was born into the Imperial Capital's Yantian Sect, and at the age of thirty, she had already reached the True Qi Realm. Her cultivation of the Yantian Divine Technique made her adept at scheming, which is why she was able to assume such an important position at such a young age.

Since taking office, she has overseen the entire Xijiang region, both inside and outside, without ever overlooking anything.

Today, however, without any prior indication of what was to come from the Heavenly Wheel he had condensed, he suddenly felt a sudden urge to act.

Perhaps something big is about to happen in Xijiang County.

Before long, a maid in bright yellow clothes came quickly, carrying an antique scroll.

Those subordinates who had been with the Observatory for a long time knew that the Director's magic was excellent at scheming, and he could understand the reasons behind ordinary matters with just a few calculations.

Any matter requiring assistance in obtaining a celestial chart is of great importance and cannot be neglected.

When Tang Ying saw the maidservant approaching with the map, she flicked her jade finger, and the celestial map floated in the air and slowly unfolded.

Her hands moved like butterflies flitting among flowers, instantly forming various hand seals that were then channeled into the Celestial Observation Diagram.

Upon seeing the scarlet dot of light within the celestial map, Tang Ying's expression changed drastically. "Something big is about to happen. Quickly, go and strike the Heavenly Drum."

"Hear the Heavenly Drum?" The maid trembled, staring at Tang Ying in disbelief.

Hearing the Heavenly Drum allows for the fastest possible contact with the chief official of the prefecture; this is an ironclad rule established by the Great Qian system.

However, the Wentian Drum of Xijiang County has never been sounded since its establishment.

"Go quickly!" Tang Ying frowned, her long hair flowing, revealing the imposing aura of a True Qi Realm expert.

"Knock knock knock!"

The moment the Heavenly Drum sounded, a muffled thunderous sound echoed within the Prefectural Governor's residence.

Cheng Jue, the prefect of Xijiang, was chatting happily with the Crown Prince's guest minister from the capital when he heard the sound of muffled thunder and drums, and his expression changed drastically.

"Guest Liu, the sound of the Heavenly Drum indicates that something significant is about to happen. Please excuse me."

Upon hearing Cheng Jue's words, Liu Ce stood up as well. "Prefect Cheng, may I lend a hand?"

As they were talking, Cheng Jue had already donned his armor and taken to the air.

"Haha, thank you for your kindness, Guest Elder Liu. I appreciate it."

Liu Ce stared at Cheng Jue, who had disappeared into the horizon in the blink of an eye, his gaze turning cold, and his fingers gripping the teacup so tightly they cracked.

The crown prince ordered him to win over this person, but little did he know that this person, though seemingly amiable, was actually unapproachable, and all attempts to win him over were ineffective.

Of all the prefectures in the Great Qian Dynasty, apart from the capital, only the governor of Xijiang Prefecture had the highest cultivation level and the greatest military power due to his suppression of the sea.

This person is absolutely crucial if the Crown Prince wants to inherit the throne securely.

Cheng Jue leaped into the air and sped through the air. In just a few breaths, he spotted the Observatory, which was built at the highest point in Xijiang City.

"Xiao Ying, what is so urgent that it requires the sounding of the Heavenly Drum?" When Cheng Jue strode over, all the officials of the Observatory bowed in greeting.

Tang Ying's expression was solemn at this moment, and a few drops of sweat occasionally slid down her forehead, wetting the ends of her hair. She had already pushed the Evolutionary Heaven Divine Technique to its limit.

Even so, the scene within the celestial map remains unpredictable and turbulent, making it difficult to discern the intricate threads of destiny.

"Uncle Cheng, there is a great disaster in the north of the prefecture. Even the secrets of heaven are being obscured by some unknown force." Tang Ying's expression relaxed slightly when she saw that Cheng Jue had arrived.

"Who is so powerful that even your true lineage of the Yantian Sect has had its secrets concealed by him?" Cheng Jue frowned upon hearing this.

Tang Ying's father was a close friend of his, and Tang Ying was practically raised by him.

That's why he knew best the abilities of this aloof girl who seemed unapproachable.

If it weren't for his level of cultivation intervening to conceal the secrets of heaven, he certainly wouldn't have been able to escape Tang Ying's perception.

Even more so, that person would need to be equally proficient in the art of divination.

"The north?" Cheng Jue pondered for a moment, then made his decision.

Xijiang County, as an important coastal town of the Great Qian Dynasty, has sixteen county towns under its jurisdiction, of which only three are located in the north.

Xingde, Fengnian, Huiwu...

Seeing Tang Ying's anxious expression, he said in a voice like muffled thunder, "Don't worry, I'm here in Xijiang to hold things up, the sky won't fall!"

The next moment, he soared into the air.

When they met again, they were already at the Xijiang Guard camp outside the city.

"I am Cheng Jue, Xijiang Guard, obey my orders!"

"exist!"

Within a few breaths, nearly a hundred soldiers had lined up in front of the camp, awaiting orders from their commander.

They were all tall and imposing, clad in armor and wielding weapons, exuding an unstoppable aura of power.

Most surprisingly, the majority of the team members were martial artists at the True Intent Realm, and the remaining young faces were all experts at the Opening Acupoint Realm.

Any one of them would be a top-tier expert in an ordinary county town.

For this reason, the number of people in Xijiangwei never exceeded one hundred at its peak.

Looking at the elite troops he had built up since taking charge of Xijiang, Cheng Jue shouted urgently, "According to the report from the Observatory, a major event has occurred in northern Xijiang, which concerns the fate of the nation. All generals, come with me."

Throughout the entire process, Cheng Jue never doubted Tang Ying's judgment.

-----------------

Within Xingde County, a pillar of blood shot into the sky, its crimson halo staining the surrounding sky for hundreds of miles.

In the darkness, a strange and sinister presence seemed to be approaching from some unknown void.

"Wu'er, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you today." Chen Wen said with a sorrowful expression, looking at the stunned Chen Wu.

Just now, Li Mingde had explained the situation to Chen Wu, and now the only way to escape this predicament was to rely on the power of the official seal.

The price to pay is his current position as the magistrate of Xingde County.

Li Youde, standing to the side, looked at the gleaming golden official seal and felt somewhat fortunate.

Fortunately, he had been dismissed from his post some time ago and was no longer a county magistrate.

Otherwise, he would be the one facing death today; it truly is a matter of timing and fate.

Chen Wu gave a wry smile as he looked at the expectant gazes around him.

Li Mingde did not hide his method of using official seals to adjust luck and pave the way from others when he mentioned it.

These days, everyone wants to be dead.

Chen Wu closed his eyes. The man who held great power yesterday was now almost in a "certain death situation".

"Okay," he replied in a deep voice.

He understood that even if he refused, these powerful cultivators who were eyeing him covetously wouldn't care about his life or death in order to survive.

At least for now, out of respect for his father, he still has a choice.

"After I die, please take good care of the Chen family."

Tread!

He took a step, his hand gripping the official seal trembling slightly.

The next moment, he formed a hand seal, and the official seal suddenly emitted a bright and dazzling light.

That was the blazing white color of burning fortune, so pure it was blinding.

Light surged from the official seal, enveloping Chen Wu's entire body along his arm before rushing into the ground.

A deep, obscure pulse emanated from the ground, and in an instant, Chen Wu saw Xingde County.

He saw the crisscrossing veins of earth energy, spreading underground like the meridians of the human body.

At the same time, countless blood-red tentacles coiled around these veins, sucking them in like a blood-sucking pump.

The towering pillar of blood not only devoured the life force of all living beings in Xingde County, but also drew upon the earth's energy, like a parasitic tumor.

[Earth's energy fluctuations detected. Should we absorb them?]

The moment Chen Wu drew out the earth's energy, a panel suddenly appeared in front of Zhou Chen's eyes.
