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

Half a day later.

As Li Qingshan approached the campsite on the snow-capped mountain, his identity jade tablet received a message: The vanguard battalion has been reorganized. Head to Camp 3 immediately to register!

This kind of information is often pre-set in the formation.

It will automatically receive when he gets close.

I suppose this order was something I arranged while I was away for the past few days.

Li Qingshan chuckled: "Interesting. I was just about to show off my skills when I was kicked out of the enforcement team and thrown into the frontline vanguard battalion..."

He ignored the message, found an empty room, sat cross-legged, and began to think about the next steps.

The purpose of displaying strength is for the sake of profit.

It's not just for showing off.

He needs to ensure that he gains a certain degree of influence while being feared, but without provoking the common hostility of all vested interests, and he also needs to have enough trump cards up his sleeve.

"My current combat strength fluctuates quite a bit..."

After briefly summarizing the situation, Li Qingshan felt a bit of a headache.

Speaking solely of cultivation level.

He is a Qi Sea Realm cultivator who has grasped the essence of power and whose true energy far surpasses that of ordinary cultivators at the same level.

Then came two cheat codes.

【Hundred-Ton King Charge】In battle, it allows him to move at a speed comparable to teleportation within a 300-meter range.

In this state.

Whether he uses a javelin or a stealth attack, he can instantly kill opponents of the same level, purely outclassing them with sheer numbers, making him invincible against weaker opponents.

As for the [Hundred-Ton King Dharma Image], although it has a one-month cooldown, the mere traces left after its use are enough to scare away Elder Xichi, who is at the Meridian Opening Realm. It can be considered his strongest method at present.

This is the analysis.

Li Qingshan's mind became much clearer:

"I am now equivalent to a BOSS who can activate three stages."

The first stage is one's own cultivation level.

The second stage is the abnormal movement speed bonus after igniting the [Hundred-Ton King Charge].

The third stage is the unleashing of the [Hundred-Ton King's Dharma Form] for an unreasonable and crushing defeat...

So, let's substitute it in.

He himself felt that he was abnormal.

"Openly, I can unabashedly display my first-stage strength, while the second stage can be disguised as a burst of secret techniques with costs and duration..."

The thought of having an enemy, having gathered all the information about himself, having finally defeated his first-stage self and exhausted his second-stage 'secret technique', made him think he had a sure win, so he simply left his 'secret technique' on.

When faced with someone who is well-prepared, even someone in their second stage can contend with or even defeat them.

I'm starting the third phase...

Li Qingshan chuckled at himself: "This is too damn hellish..."

...

The approach has been determined.

Li Qingshan took out a spear that was over four meters long and casually stabbed it a few times.

咻咻 咻 ~

Amidst a sky full of gunfire, the sound of gunfire whistling through the air filled the air.

"I specifically exchanged for marksmanship and hand-to-hand combat skills beforehand, and even spent two or three days practicing until I reached a level of perfection, but I've never used them. The same goes for this big spear; it hasn't seen any blood since I got it..."

Li Qingshan chuckled twice.

His previous battles were all about numbers, without any skill whatsoever.

They will use deadly force when they act.

He never had the chance to fully utilize his martial arts skills and internal energy cultivation.

Now that we're considering showcasing our abilities, all that we've learned will finally have a chance to be put to good use.

"Speaking of which, I should be in the first stage of cultivation at the Qi Sea Realm, but my strength has reached a level where I am invincible among those of the same level..."

Li Qingshan put the spear back into his spatial storage and recalled his understanding of the Qi Sea Realm.

The Qi Sea Realm is generally divided into three stages of cultivation to determine strength.

The first stage is the initial entry into the Qi Sea Realm.

At this point, they hadn't yet begun converting their martial runes into martial veins, and their internal energy was limited, making them the weakest in combat.

The second stage is the Qi Sea Realm, where all martial runes have been transformed into martial veins.

With the blessing of martial arts.

Not only do their martial arts skills draw upon more energy from heaven and earth, making them more lethal, but they can also use their martial meridians to draw upon even more energy from heaven and earth and compress their true qi.

It has reached this point.

The quantity, quality, and endurance of true qi will all be greatly improved.

Most disciples who have been in the Qi Sea Realm for more than ten years are at this stage.

The third level is understanding the power dynamics.

This is a watershed moment, a level of power unique. By leveraging this power, even someone who has only just entered the Qi Sea Realm can kill a seasoned Qi Sea Realm expert who has already transformed all their martial meridians.

As for the Qi Sea Realm, which has also comprehended the concept of momentum, the difference in strength can probably only be determined after a battle.

After all, momentum is essentially a mechanism.

Li Qingshan is also different from ordinary martial artists in one other way.

Others condense martial runes in a certain area of ​​their body according to different martial arts techniques.

There are only so many martial runes.

There are only so many martial veins that can be transformed.

Li Qingshan possesses a Daoist body, his entire body covered in Daoist patterns.

Even before he began to transform the Dao patterns into Dao veins, the amount of true energy he had condensed far exceeded that of others at the same level.

Previously, Xi Tianhong's father, a veteran of the Qi Sea Realm, struck him in the chest with all his might, yet he couldn't even break through the passive defense of the true qi within his body, which shows how formidable he was.

In addition, there are self-healing martial bones and wind-controlling martial bones.

Li Qingshan was very curious whether he could directly reverse the flow of energy in this state and reach the Qi Refining Realm.

...

The foundational information has been compiled.

Then comes the process of selecting a target to make an example of, and then taking over...

The pie of benefits within a sect is only so big.

If another person comes to eat, the existing interest groups will feel that their interests may be harmed, which will trigger xenophobic sentiments.

Why not just remove one of the cake-eating parts?

Stealing someone else's cake not only demonstrates strength, but also avoids attracting hostility from everyone as long as you maintain a restrained attitude afterwards.

Li Qingshan has also chosen his target.

It is the family of Elder Xichi.

Although the two had never met, their fate had already been sealed.

This is a good opportunity to settle the cause and effect.

...

the next day.

Li Qingshan bribed the disciple who arranged his position and made a special trip back to Guixu.

The tribesmen were shocked by the dramatic change in his physique and appearance, feeling a joy and amazement akin to witnessing a silkworm transform into a butterfly.

But things are different between them now than before.

Li Qingshan had already concealed all his aura, but the oppressive force emanating from his very being still made his clansmen and relatives unconsciously more reserved.

The younger siblings no longer dared to run over and cheer for their older brother or shout "gift!"

Li Tie, who was happy to come over and greet them, had a thousand words in his mind, but in the end, he stood up respectfully and reported on the family's development during this period.

Even his closest parents, seeing the drastic change in him, began to hesitate in their choice of words when speaking...

The initial joy Li Qingshan felt at returning home gradually faded away.

After the clansmen broadened their horizons in the county town.

It seemed as if an invisible yet real barrier had suddenly appeared between him and his relatives.

This thick barrier is called awe.

...

After a brief reminiscing...

Li Qingshan instructed Li Tie to take his clansmen to the Li family's emergency refuge for a period of time.

Make arrangements for the family.

After returning to Guixu, Li Qingshan felt a tightness in his chest.

He was not used to the sense of kinship distance that came with this change in status.

In addition, Grandpa's condition is not very good either.

Old Man Li seemed to be in good spirits, probably because he saw that the family business was on the right track.

Li Qingshan, however, saw the deathly aura emanating from the old man.

Birth, aging, sickness, and death eventually come to an end.

Old Man Li, the key figure who single-handedly led the Li family to prosperity for decades, doesn't have much time left.

Li Qingshan sighed: "Life is but a fleeting journey through four realms, coming and going are all commonplace. As his grandson, the only thing I can do is let the old man enjoy his moment of glory one last time before he departs..."

The truly healthy and fulfilling days in a mortal's life are far too short.

...

late at night.

Deep in the snow-capped mountains lies a black market that is known to almost everyone.

Li Qingshan changed his appearance, put on a gold mask, disposed of the spoils he had collected last time, and now had five thousand magic stones on him.

He went to the compartment where information was sold, handed the gatekeeper a magic stone, and went inside.

There was no one in the cubicle, but there was a communication array.

Seeing that the formation had been activated, Li Qingshan said directly, "I want to purchase information, portraits, and locations of everyone in the Xichi Elder family, from top to bottom and left to right."

This kind of questioning, which was almost like revealing one's hand, completely baffled the person on the other end of the communication array.

What are you trying to do?!

Exterminate the entire elder family?

In his more than 100 years of life, he had never encountered such an outrageous intelligence purchase.

A long silence followed.

He replied, "It involves the sect elders, so I can't make the decision. Please wait a moment."

Li Qingshan wasn't in a hurry.

He wasn't afraid of the elders who sold information coming after him.

To make an example of someone, you can kill any elder you like.

Of course, it's best if it's someone you have a grudge against.

This way, he can act with more confidence and the other elders will be more accepting of the matter.

I waited for about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

A voice, similar in tone but more composed, came from the other side:

"It involves an elder at the Meridian Opening Realm. Adding your target to the total, it exceeds five hundred people. The premium for this intelligence will be very high. I suggest you only take some key names."

Upon hearing this, Li Qingshan licked his lips.

It's really for sale!

They not only sell, but they also have a great attitude.

Indeed, those who can endure the pain of the physical realm and cultivate to a higher level are not fools.

He refused, saying, "If you don't cut the weeds at the root, they'll grow back in the spring. Thank you for your kind offer, but I'm the kind of person who either doesn't do something or does it thoroughly. Give me a price!"

After a moment of silence, someone tentatively asked, "Three thousand magic stones!"

This is a very subtle price.

Some veterans in the Qihai Realm can accumulate around this much wealth, but having real liquid assets is much harder.

This price is also a test.

Li Qingshan tapped the table, agreeing: "Okay, but you must provide me with information on the industries controlled by the west family free of charge, and for ten days after the transaction is completed, you must provide me with real-time updates on Xi Chi's whereabouts!"

The "ten-day period" was a smokescreen he deliberately left behind.

In fact, he would take action as soon as he got the intelligence.

After hearing Li Qingshan's request, the person on the other end of the communication array fell silent again.

He couldn't understand the other party's confidence in having Elder Xichi completely under their control.

Out of curiosity.

He said slowly, "I have no objection, but if I do that, your identity will be exposed."

Li Qingshan stood up: "It doesn't matter, let's just consider it an early introduction. How long will it take to get the information?"

"interesting."

The other person smiled and said, "Come back in three days, and I'll have someone contact you!"

...

Deposit paid.

Li Qingshan quietly left, went to a general store, dropped a piece of silver, and picked up a Chinese calendar.

He flipped to the date three days later.

It reads:

Immortal Arrives in Three Eras

Year 2 of the Rat, Year of Jia Chen (1944)

On the first day of the lunar month, Gengxu.

Suitable for: removing obstacles and clearing boundaries, tidying up the household, wielding power and establishing order, and ascending to a higher position!

Avoid: condoning evil, colluding with outsiders, and clinging to old positions!

When the day is marked by the Po Jun star, the energy shifts, the old situation collapses, and a new ruler takes the throne!

With the arrival of powerful deities, old roots are swept away, and the great power returns to its rightful place!

Li Qingshan threw back the almanac, laughed loudly, and left.

Excellent, excellent!

This is the perfect day to take power!
