I ascended to godhood through the 100-ton King Martial Arts.

Led by Xu Caiwei, the two arrived at an open area outside the camp.

This appears to be the camp's transfer center.

A large number of barbarians were busy working there.

What caught Li Qingshan's eye the most were the airships taking off and landing: "So many airships?"

There were over a hundred small airships parked here, and next to them were a bunch of tiny people, only about a meter tall, with strange faces, running around among the barbarians.

"These are all products we brought here. I heard they're technologies from other perilous realms that the sects bought..."

As Xu Caiwei introduced the place, she led him to the reception area.

Upon entering, a small, bearded man immediately approached with a fawning expression: "My lords, are you using an airship?"

Xu Caiwei took out the jade pendant and stated her destination.

The bearded little man quickly replied in a devout tone, "We will arrange the airship for the two esteemed gentlemen to travel to Cornish Harbor..."

Under the other party's arrangement, the two boarded a small airship that was only about five or six meters long and a little over three meters high.

Two more tiny figures boarded the airship.

After bowing respectfully, they controlled the airship to take off.

Xu Caiwei and Li Qingshan sat comfortably on the recliners prepared by the little man.

Exquisite desserts and fruits were placed between the two.

I feel so comfortable.

Hsu Tsai-wei picked up a dessert and introduced it:

"These little people are alchemical creations from a long time ago in this Bitter Realm; they are a subhuman race."

I've heard that this small world was originally connected to an even more powerful world, but that world was shattered into pieces and fell into decline, only to develop technological advancements...

However, before it could develop much, it was invaded by us.

The lifestyle you see at the photo stone now was actually popularized and intensified after the Iron Legs Gate came...

Through Xu Caiwei's explanation, Li Qingshan learned that the sect's accumulated technological strength was far superior to that of the natives in this harsh environment.

The Iron Legs Sect was able to control more than a dozen kingdoms and over ten million people with a small number of people. In addition to their overwhelming combat power, their strong mobility and communication capabilities were also very important factors.

The Bitter Realm Small World is simply a small world.

Iron Leg Sect, however, was able to leverage the Martial Alliance platform in Guixu to exchange resources, accumulate strength in various aspects, and ultimately achieve overwhelming dominance.

The reason these technological products are not widespread in the Ruins is simply because those at the bottom don't need them. Those who aren't at the bottom either use them at home or spend most of their time in various harsh environments.

This led to the disjointed art style that Li Qingshan had previously perceived.

Besides alchemy.

Iron Leg Gate's various camps, as well as its telegraph network covering the entire territory, and convenient communication and transportation methods such as airships and cruise ships.

Many military factories were also controlled by the insiders.

According to Hsu Tsai-wei, since the Iron Legs Clan arrived, they have occupied the lower levels of the area and, thanks to their initial investment in technology and adjustments to resource allocation, they are living much better than before.

They were also armed with a large number of guns.

There is also the extraordinary path that has been popularized throughout the world.

Those who rebelled against them within the Bitter Realm were mostly exiled nobles and extraordinary organizations from these original kingdoms.

The extraordinary individuals from the lower classes and the new generation actually strongly support them.

Most of the time, when trouble arises, the local police, army, and newly formed superhuman teams are enough to suppress the resistance.

These black-robed law enforcement officers are just there to fill a role.

...

When the topic turned to "just passing by," Hsu Tsai-wei's face darkened.

She loosely clenched her fist, causing the air to pop with a crackling sound.

"Actually, this is where I was born."

The law enforcement team used to have a very comfortable life.

I borrowed a lot of contribution points to get in.

They just laze around every day, living a very comfortable life.

A few years ago, the sect discovered a secret realm left behind by an ancient wizard and sent many members in.

As a result, the secret realm contained numerous curses.

Some of those things are even contagious.

This caused the deaths of many of his disciples.

My parents were also in there, which caused me to lose support, so I could only frantically earn contribution points to pay off the debt.

But those inside the gate couldn't bear to part with that secret realm.

I've been trying to figure it out.

Therefore, the team has been short-staffed in recent years.

"Without suppression, those lowly barbarians have gone even crazier, making it hard for us to even get by..."

Li Qingshan and Xu Caiwei have a purely communicative relationship.

I was unaware of the other person's background before.

Seeing that the other party was no longer the stingy person he was when he was in the sect, Li Qingshan quickly tried to appease him and also tried to get some information out of him.

Perhaps because she had someone to confide in, Hsu Tsai-Wei was very talkative.

Through her rambling, Li Qingshan learned more.

For example, within the sect, there are actually quite a few people who live and breed in this small, bitter place, raising their clansmen and improving their strength, which is why the sect's residence appears to have a large population.

There is also the development of resources.

Vast quantities of food were used to cultivate various rapidly multiplying subhuman creatures, which were then used to feed gluttonous pigs...

There are no magic stone veins in the small world; it all depends on the remaining secret environment of this world to cultivate those high-energy plants.

That thing is grown in this world.

There are also minerals like gold, silver, copper, and iron. While there seem to be many, when refined into high-quality materials such as gold essence, silver essence, and gold and silver mother materials, the annual output is calculated in taels...

There are also some scattered rumors.

For example, legend has it that martial arts were once very prosperous in the past, but later, like this small, bitter realm, it was shattered into small fragments, the world was severed, and resources dissipated...

In addition, a large number of barbarians invaded later, resulting in countless deaths and injuries.

Records of many things in the Ruins of Guixu have been lost.

His martial arts skills gradually recovered.

On one hand, they relied on archaeological discoveries of the forbidden areas remaining in the Ruins Continent; on the other hand, they relied on conquering those perilous realms and plundering their resources.

...

"Nine steps to heaven, martial arts piercing the firmament..."

Li Qingshan looked at Xu Caiwei, who was tired from talking and had closed her eyes to rest, got up and went to the edge of the airship. Looking at the mountains, rivers and forests rushing past below, he was filled with many thoughts.

He learned for the first time that there are nine realms in martial arts.

Above the Spirit Transformation Realm, there are four more realms.

Each realm is a different world.

After reaching the ninth realm, one's lifespan becomes almost limitless. Moving mountains and overturning seas is nothing special for them. They can even cross the fierce winds of the sky above and roam the vast void.

These are all true records passed down from the Forbidden Land of Guixu.

I wonder if, in the tens of thousands of years since the revival of martial arts, any predecessors have reached the pinnacle of the nine realms of martial arts, and what realms lie beyond the nine realms...

Li Qingshan felt uneasy when he thought about the bloodline of the Yellow Turban Warriors.

Would those immortals allow those who follow the martial arts system to grow to that level?

"My strength is still too low. Even knowing these things, I can't distinguish between truth and falsehood. Thinking too much is pointless... Besides, if I really can't go on, I might as well love the path of immortality, or even love wizards..."

Thinking about his cheat code, Li Qingshan felt a little more at ease.

He's not a rigid person.

It possesses the plundering ability of a cheat code.

Changing allegiance is an easy task.

Today he may be a Guixu person, tomorrow he may become a barbarian, and the day after tomorrow he may very well walk the path of cultivation.

When I truly have the power to decide my own destiny.

Even the greatest love for the world is not necessarily wrong.

...

Lost in thought.

The little man piloting the airship suddenly ran up to the observation deck, exclaiming in alarm, "Sir, elemental life forms are approaching!"

Upon hearing this, Li Qingshan grabbed the airship's cable, climbed to a high place, and looked ahead.

But then they saw a dark cloud rapidly approaching them.

Within the dark clouds, lightning snaked and roared, occasionally revealing enormous faces that gazed upon the scene with anthropomorphic curiosity...

"So lucky?"

Hsu Tsai-wei, who was resting with her eyes closed, was not surprised but rather pleased.

She took out a piece of animal hide, muttered a couple of times to herself with a hint of heartache, and tore it open.

The animal hide shattered, turning into white light that vanished towards the camp.

After sending the message.

Xu Caiwei quickly said to Li Qingshan, "Let's go. Elemental lifeforms, even the weakest of them are equivalent to a born second-tier wizard. Their combat strength is comparable to a strong Qi Sea Realm expert. We are no match for them. Let's go to the ground."

Upon hearing this, Li Qingshan did not hesitate at all and followed Xu Caiwei as they jumped out of the airship.

The two little men were stunned by what they saw.

They exchanged a glance, then had no choice but to put on their parachutes and jump down as well.

Unfortunately, we were still a step too late.

The dark clouds were moving forward at an exceptionally fast speed.

By the time they opened their parachutes, the airship had already been torn apart by the approaching dark clouds, and the enormous face of the dark cloud, which had been some distance away, was now right in front of the two little ones.

That face, with its barbarian-like features and mimicking human facial lines, conveyed a sense of bewilderment and curiosity about the outside world.

The dark clouds slowly transformed into a gigantic hand, hundreds of meters long, attempting to grab the two tiny figures still floating in the air.

The palm hadn't even gotten close yet.

The powerful, wandering lightning burned the makeshift parachute to charcoal, and the two little figures beneath it were cremated even earlier.

"roar!"

The little toy was gone, and the dark cloud palm roared in anger.

It re-manifested its gigantic face, looking down at the ground, but the two who had fled first were nowhere to be seen...

...

The mountains and forests below.

In the soil.

Xu Caiwei, whose only visible feature was her eyes, said in a deep voice, "Don't panic. There's relevant information inside the sect. Most elemental life forms are incredibly stupid and have poor perception abilities. Once the sect leader arrives, we'll be rich."

Elemental life forms are extremely rare.

The sect leader bestows exceptionally high rewards upon these special beings, and he personally intervenes each time, fearing that his subordinates might ruin things.

As soon as the camp receives her message, they will notify the sect leader immediately.

Li Qingshan was buried nearby.

His muscles twitched, and he spoke in a human voice: "We've already flown at least a hundred or two hundred miles in a straight line. By the time the sect leader arrives, these dark clouds will probably be far away."

Xu Caiwei chuckled: "You haven't seen the sect leader's recording stone, so you have no idea how terrifying the sect leader is."

She had barely finished speaking.

A golden rainbow streaked across the sky.

A terrifying pressure enveloped the entire area within dozens of miles.

Li Qingshan was rendered immobile by the sudden pressure.

His eyes widened.

It came as a rainbow.

If the sect leader is said to follow the bloodline system, why does he also have the ability to transform into a rainbow?

That's way too much!
