The Martial Saint, starting with daily intelligence.

"understand."

Wu Xiuyuan nodded.

"After all, this is a matter of life and death, so we can't be careless."

Wu Xiuyuan sighed, "Of the dozen or so of us who came from humble backgrounds, only you, me, Advanced Mathematics, and Zhang Yuan survived."

"If I hadn't known your unwavering determination in martial arts, I wouldn't have asked you to team up. If an ordinary person hadn't achieved a minor breakthrough in stance training within two and a half years, they would have given up on martial arts long ago. But you persevered."

"Even though you're cultivating extraordinary abilities, you haven't given up on martial arts, have you?"

"If you still cherish martial arts and want to cultivate your Qi or even reach the pinnacle of martial arts in the future, then my suggestion is to fight against Fog Shadow Island in my region."

"If it succeeds, with the resources obtained from the island, the future of martial arts will be promising."

"If we lose, it's just a matter of dying sooner or later. People like us, who are just peasants, really don't have much of a choice!"

When Wu Xiuyuan said these things, his eyes were filled with only frankness and sincerity.

  

Even if they lose and perish, they will only have the composure to accept defeat.

···

After seeing Wu Xiuyuan off, Zhong Ming's expression and demeanor were completely renewed, and he was pondering alone.

"Foggy Island?"

"This is the first time I've ever heard of such a place."

"Wu Xiuyuan probably doesn't know much about this island either. Tingfeng Tower should have more detailed information about it."

Zhong Ming guessed.

As an intelligence organization and one of the oldest forces in Tianjin, it has a certain share in the docks.

It's impossible that there wasn't any information about Fog Shadow Island.

"Furthermore, foreigners make up 70% of the population on Fog Shadow Island, and the total number of people going is decided by the foreign merchants' association and clubs."

"That's really surprising!"

"It seems that the foreign navy is much more powerful than I imagined."

It's only a hundred miles from Tianjin, yet the Great Chu Dynasty's navy and navy are unable to maintain real control. Either the Great Chu Dynasty is too incompetent, or the foreigners are really that strong!

However, the Great Chu Dynasty in this world is not weak; it is far stronger and more principled than the Qing Dynasty of the previous era.

A century ago, thirteen powerful Western nations joined forces to besiege the Great Chu. That war lasted for more than a decade and ultimately resulted in mutual destruction.

After the war, the Great Chu signed treaties with Western countries, agreeing to free trade and establish concessions in each other's countries. Thirteen Western countries established thirteen concessions in the Great Chu, and correspondingly, the Great Chu also went overseas to thirteen countries to establish concessions.

The entire important coastal city in the south was destroyed. Afterwards, the Western countries colluded with the local powerful families to support powerful warlords who carved out their own territories. As a result, the Great Chu Dynasty never recovered and has not been able to recover for more than a hundred years.

It's hard to say about other places, but as for Tianjin, as the eastern gateway of the Great Chu Dynasty and the largest and most important trade hub in the entire north, the Great Chu had extremely deep control over this area.

The imperial court is the most powerful force in this area, without exception, and it maintains at least three grandmaster-level experts stationed here year-round.

Internally, it suppresses powerful and influential families; externally, it subdues various Western countries.

When the situation is tense, grandmaster-level experts can be dispatched from the capital to provide support at any time.

Moreover, the western camp is only fifty miles from here, with tens of thousands of troops, of which no less than 30% are martial artists, and several grandmaster-level experts are stationed there, ready to wipe out any dissidents at any time.

Daily Intelligence System

Martial Arts Realm: Mid-stage Bone Forging (38 drops of essence blood)

Body Refinement Realm: Qi and Blood Manifestation Level 1 (Proficiency: 6665/10000)

Transcendent System: Transcendent Tier 1 (Proficiency: 0/1000) [Erosion Level: 0]

Exercise: Spirit Turtle Gazing at the Moon Stance (Proficiency: 125/10000) [Five Stars]

Warrior realm:

Body Refinement Realm

炼血期：成功凝练出一滴精血即入门，1-12滴精血为初期，13-24滴为中期，25-36为后期

36-72 represents perfection.

The limit is 73-81.

81-136为破限（81-108一步破限，109-136二步破限）。

Once one's essence blood reaches 72 drops, one reaches the peak of the Essence Refining stage and can directly break through to the next realm, the Qi Refining stage. A few core disciples of aristocratic families and disciples of major sects break through to the Qi Refining stage after reaching their limit or breaking through their limit.

Bone Forging Stage: The bones are forged and tempered, becoming as strong as steel. Movements are as swift as thunder, with the strength to move a thousand pounds; a martial artist can move faster than seven steps.

During the marrow cleansing stage: 35mm muskets posed little threat to him.

[The Blood Refining stage primarily increases strength, reaching up to a thousand jin; the Bone Forging stage strengthens tendons and bones, increasing defense; the Marrow Cleansing stage enhances all aspects, including flesh, bones, and internal organs, doubling strength to two thousand jin, and doubling defense and speed.]

--------

Qi Refining Stage: Internal energy is released externally, making ordinary foreign gun squads pose little threat to it.

--------

Refining God Realm:

The maximum lifespan is three cycles of sixty years, but due to the hidden injuries from early cultivation and the wear and tear on the body, the actual lifespan often cannot reach the limit.

Grand cultivator: A cultivator who has comprehended the 'Domain' at the Refining Spirit Realm.

To break through from the Refining Spirit stage to the Embracing the Elixir stage, one needs the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, meaning that the three flowers of Essence, Qi, and Spirit must break through simultaneously.

--------

Grandmaster (Embracing the Elixir Realm)

The spirit, energy, and vitality are perfectly integrated, making one flawless.

He comprehended his own "Tao".

The maximum lifespan is nine Jiazi, or 540 years. And because the essence, energy, and spirit are unified, one's own essence and energy no longer leak out, so theoretically it is easier to live to the maximum lifespan.

Breaking through from the Core Formation Realm to the Deity Transformation Realm requires gathering the Five Elements, also known as the Five Elements Returning to the Origin. These are the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. The core is these five elements, but they can be substituted with others, such as ice instead of water.

--------

Divine Realm (Quasi-God) [Can possess a body up to three times]

Nascent Soul Realm:

They live for a thousand years and can control the power of heaven and earth.

The body is merely a shell; the soul is the essence. One can be reborn by possessing another body after physical destruction, but without a physical body, one can only exert up to 80% of their original strength. The first possession will reduce one's strength to 80%, the second possession to half, and the third possession will cause one to drop in realm, with strength reduced to only 30%.

····

Yuan Shen Realm: A plus version of the Nascent Soul stage. All abilities are 1.5 times that of the Nascent Soul stage, and the overall strength is about three times that of the Nascent Soul stage. Lifespan increases to 1,500 years. The physical body is no longer a constraint. Losing a physical body does not affect strength. One can regain 100% strength after possessing three bodies.

····

Yang Shen Realm:

The "Great Monk" of ancient times.

He lived to be two thousand years old.

When one severs the Three Corpses, the Three Corpse Gods will instantly revive the original body after the original body is killed. Each of the Three Corpses possesses 100% of the original body's strength. Unless all three Corpses are killed simultaneously the instant the Great Cultivator is killed, the Great Cultivator of the Yang God will not be killed. As long as one of the Three Corpses is still alive, both the Three Corpses and the original body can be revived in an instant.

----------

Dao Integration: Earth Immortal, God King, Celestial Being

Harmony with Heaven and Man.

My soul is entrusted to the Way of Heaven; I am the Way of Heaven, and the Way of Heaven is me!

They are immortal and indestructible. Unless the portion of their soul entrusted to them by the Heavenly Dao can be erased, they cannot be killed. Even if killed, they can be resurrected after replenishing their spiritual energy. A Dao-Merging Celestial Being can only die as their soul essence slowly depletes over time until it is completely exhausted; this is called "Return to the Void."

After a celestial being dies, their spiritual energy will gradually merge into the universe, causing the universe's spiritual energy to regain its vitality.
