My cultivation method shines upon all heavens.

Chapter 76 If you want to die, no one will stop you.

Lu Ming raised an eyebrow and looked at her with a puzzled expression.

Seeing her ambiguous smile and complex, enigmatic expression, his heart skipped a beat, and he immediately began to have some guesses.

"Hmph—did you guess it?"

Su Qingsi curled her lips slightly and sneered, "The reason why the Earth Book can become the supreme martial art of the human race is indeed because countless ancestors have blazed the trail."

"However, even so, it was a path to heaven that was paved primarily by one bloodline and secondarily by the others."

She traced circles on Lu Ming's chest with her slender fingers and spoke again: "I can feel six powerful bloodlines within you, making my Heavenly Fox blood restless."

"But—a snake cannot move without a head, and a path cannot exist without a master; what then?"

After saying that, her expression suddenly became extremely solemn.

Lu Ming's heart stirred slightly, and he quickly gleaned a great deal of information from the other party's words.

It turns out that martial arts in this world are used to explore and regulate bloodlines.

The so-called awakened talent, it now seems, is obviously spontaneously generated when the bloodline is explored to a certain extent, and is not due to martial arts at all.

So where did the bloodline within the human race in this world originate in the first place?

He quickly cleared his mind of the jumbled thoughts and looked down at Su Qingsi: "Then what can I do for you, young lady?"

The Yellow Heaven Great Law is one of his possible paths to survival, but he will not place all his hopes on it.

The other party comes from the Beast God Sect, one of the five major sects in the world. They must be extremely knowledgeable in this area and may have a solution in hand.

Su Qingsi tightened her arms around his neck, snuggled closer to his face, and chuckled, "Give me Xiao Wanjun, and then cooperate with me—and I'll tell you."

Lu Ming narrowed his eyes and refused decisively: "Cooperation can be discussed, but Xiao Wanjun is not a commodity."

Su Qingsi's pretty face changed slightly. She didn't expect that even when death was imminent, the man in front of her would still be so tough.

She stared directly at the man before her, wanting to see if he was just bluffing.

Lu Ming's expression remained unchanged as he met his gaze calmly.

The gradual reaction in his lower abdomen made him feel slightly embarrassed, but his expression remained unchanged.

a long time-

"Big brother—what are you doing?"

Outside the Lu residence, Xiao Wanjun stood at the door, looking at the two of them expressionlessly.

Su Qingsi raised an eyebrow, feeling the gradually relaxing movements beneath her, and turned to tease, "Children shouldn't meddle in adult matters."

Zhang Wanjun frowned, ran over, pulled Su Qingsi down, and grabbed Lu Ming's hand to walk back: "Big brother, she's a bad woman, don't be with her."

Lu Ming chuckled and shook his head, letting her pull him away, thus easing his embarrassment.

Su Qingsi landed lightly, watching the two figures depart, and said with a charming smile, "Little brother—I'll wait for your news. If you agree, there'll be a treat—"

Not far away, Xiao Wanjun quickened her pace slightly.

In the following days, Yinhu County became much quieter.

Lu Ming's killing of Luo Ziyuan clearly intimidated these prodigies, and the Yellow Turban Army outside the city slowly retreated and disappeared.

However, due to continuous natural disasters, man-made calamities, and wars, the refugees from all over the country were left unmanaged, and chaos was brewing.

In order to avoid causing unrest, Lu Ming immediately opened the granaries to provide disaster relief.

As for Da Zhao's claim that "unjustified disaster relief is tantamount to treason"?

Damn it, let's see if these bastards can even survive this Yellow Turban Rebellion.

Because he had seized the wealth of the four major families, the short-term relief efforts were not a major burden for him.

At the same time, he discovered that the four major families had a huge reserve of ghost lamps and methods for making them.

Only then did he understand why the Netherworld Lamp had the effect of deterring demons—

It is an extremely yin and evil lamp, forged by using the remains of demons of the savage level or above as the lamp base, the vengeful souls of humans and demons as the wick, and drawing on the fire of the underworld.

Because the vengeful spirit within its core carries the hatred between the two races, it is particularly effective against demonic spirits and thoughts, thus deterring demons and making them unwilling to approach easily.

Since opening granaries for disaster relief was not a long-term solution, the appearance of the ghost lamp gave him a new idea.

He ordered Xie Muyan and others to lead a portion of the Yin Hu Guards to organize refugees and head to the open fields outside the city.

They selected safe and fertile land, used ghost lanterns to build borders, reclaimed wasteland to settle refugees, and simultaneously established military settlements and farms.

Despite the slight danger, the lure of numerous merit points drove the Yin Tiger Guards to bravely advance.

After all, Lu Ming directly revealed the monopolized martial arts knowledge to them and made all the martial arts of the four major families available to them.

And all they need to do is accumulate merit to redeem these.

With the chance to defy fate right in front of them, how could they not go crazy?

In order to replenish the Yin Tiger Guard with fresh blood, Lu Ming even opened the merit system to refugees.

Once the contributions from the land reclamation reach a certain level, one will have the opportunity to join the Yin Tiger Guard, learn martial arts, and gain a chance to change one's fate.

A hidden crisis was thus easily resolved by Lu Ming.

The people of Yinhu County did not understand the intricacies of the situation; they only felt that since Lu Ming took over the affairs of the city, their previously lifeless lives had suddenly gained hope.

In a short time, the people admired Lu Ming even more, and his name was widely circulated in the streets and alleys.

Meanwhile, deep within the county government office, a hurried and unwilling cry faintly rang out, but ordinary people could hardly hear it.

Nighttime, Lu residence.

The candlelight flickered in the bedroom. Lu Ming sat cross-legged on the bed, his mind suddenly stirred.

[Ding! Prodigies from all realms rise up, and all heavens pay homage to my attainment of the Dao—]

[In the vast world of Canglan, Ling Hanyu explores the secret realm of the deep sea and is baptized by the remaining power of the Baxia divine body, entering the realm of tortoise breathing and spiritual communication. The scroll owner can consume Heavenly Heart Points to help him comprehend the Dao. Do you wish to use it?]

Lu Ming smiled slightly and chose "yes" without hesitation.

On the Heavenly Heart Scroll, white mist swirls, and numbers slowly move:

【Celestial Center Point - 1】

[Celestial Point: 898]

[The author used Heavenly Heart Points to imprint Ling Hanyu's Enlightenment Realm —]

[Ling Hanyu, with his tortoise-like breath, attained enlightenment and comprehended the way to stir up storms and calm the seas.]

[Ling Hanyu comprehended the "Pacifying Strategy" from the "Concealing Breath Technique," which can be bound. Binding?]

Lu Ming realized that this "Breath Convergence Technique" was probably the same method as the "Hidden Organs Technique".

"Bind!"

A thought flashed through his mind, and he was already in a daze.

"Splash—"

'

At the bottom of the endless deep sea, a young man sat cross-legged on the back of a colossal creature with the head of a dragon and the body of a turtle.

The colossal creature had been dead for countless years, yet it still exuded a chilling aura.

A strange aura emanated from him.

In an instant, a vortex rose from his body and swept upwards.

The once calm sea was suddenly whipped into a raging storm, with towering waves crashing down like mountains.

Immediately afterwards, his aura changed.

The wind and waves subsided, the sky cleared, and it was as if the storm had been nothing but an illusion.

"Based on Qi and Blood, nourishing the five internal organs; borrowing the might of Baxia, stirring the tides of the four seas—"

"When still, it is as deep as a deep pool and as majestic as a mountain, silently calming the waves; when in motion, it overturns rivers and seas, stirring up winds and controlling waves—"

"Strengthen the internal organs to establish a solid foundation, and defend against external storms to control the vast ocean."

Lu Ming's body trembled as countless profound insights flooded into his mind.

He felt his blood and qi flowing like the tides, calming the body when still and surging like waves when in motion, cleansing away impurities.

Between movements and stillness, a luminous light emanated from his internal organs, spreading throughout his body.

Lu Ming slowly opened his eyes, feeling completely refreshed. He subconsciously glanced at the changes on the scroll:

[Martial Arts: Nine Heavens Thunder Roar (Low-grade Earth-level Skill Book; Perfected 36000/40000)]

[Martial Skill: Dragon-Slaying Sword (Low-grade Earth Rank: Perfect 1000/40000)]

[Martial Arts: Tranquil Wave Strategy (Low-grade Earth-level Manual; Minor Success 18000/20000)]

"If it weren't for the conflict between the seven ultimate techniques within my body, my strength would probably be many times greater than that of an ordinary Zhenfu Realm cultivator!"

Lu Ming stood up, feeling the subtle, restrained power within his body, and felt quite helpless.

He gazed at the moonlight outside the window, thoughts racing through his mind:

And then there's Liu Zhiyuan—the seven-day deadline has arrived, and I need to think of a way to deal with him.

Even though we've almost completely broken ties, we should still try to buy as much time as possible.

With each additional day, his cultivation level would increase by one point.

Just then, his expression changed.

He immediately bent over, grabbed the windowsill, and covered his chest, realizing something was wrong.

"This is—a calming talisman!"

He stared at the dark aura that was faintly visible on his chest, his face turning ashen.

Suddenly, his face contorted, and a hoarse, aged voice uttered: "Lu Ming—don't blame me! For the sake of peace, what is the loss of our lives!"

Lu Ming's face contorted in agony as he struggled violently, screaming, "If you want to die, no one's stopping you—but get out of my body!"

Before he could finish speaking...

"Bang bang bang—"

'

A series of chaotic noises suddenly erupted from inside the room.

Tables and chairs overturned, porcelain shattered, like two trapped beasts locked in a frantic struggle within a confined space.

After a while, the door opened.

Lu Ming walked out slowly, his eyes filled with vicissitudes.

He strode forward, opened the courtyard gate, and headed straight towards the government office.

The moonlight trailed his shadow, leaving a thin, dark mark on the ground.
