High Martial Arts: Starting with a Martial Saint Peak Cultivation

Chen Yuan rode Youying back to Longyuan Mountain.

The power of origin permeated the entire mansion like a thin mist, so dense that it almost solidified.

Chen Yuan jumped off the shadow's back, took a deep breath, and felt every pore on his body cheering.

"Comfortable."

He looked around and his gaze fell on the island in the middle of the lake in the backyard where he was cultivating.

"Cultivating under the tree is not bad, but the spirit-gathering array in the tower is more effective."

Chen Yuan thought for a moment.

His figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.

next second.

He appeared in front of the cultivation tower on the island in the middle of the lake. Chen Yuan pushed open the door and went up the stairs to the top floor.

The ninth floor.

The space is small, only a dozen square meters, but the walls are covered with patterns of spirit-gathering arrays.

Stand here.

You can clearly feel the surrounding spiritual energy and primal power being slowly drawn into the tower.

Chen Yuan sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and felt around.

He murmured to himself.

"The world's primal energy within the mansion is so abundant that there's no need to continue cultivating under the World Origin Tree. The cultivation tower is the optimal solution..."

Open your eyes.

A thought crossed my mind.

Nearly a hundred pills flew out of his storage space and hovered in front of him.

Saint Essence Pill, Spirit Fusion Pill, Spirit Cleansing Pill...

Chen Yuan chose to swallow a few of them first, while the rest of the pills orbited around him like planets.

The elixir entered the stomach.

A warm energy exploded within the body, flowing along the meridians to the limbs and bones.

He could clearly feel that his senses had become more acute, and his absorption speed of the surrounding primal energy had significantly increased.

"Not enough."

With a thought, ten million high-grade spirit crystals flew out of Chen Yuan's storage space and were neatly arranged around him.

The spirit crystals piled up into a small mountain.

With the added effects of the spirit-gathering array within the tower, the enhancement from the elixirs, and the continuous release of primal power from the two World Origin Trees, the power of ...

Chen Yuan closed his eyes and began circulating the Primordial Chaos Divine Scripture.

"Let's begin."

The divine power within the body slowly circulates, absorbing the surrounding spiritual crystals, spiritual energy, and primal power, transforming them into new divine power.

The training tower fell silent.

Only the faint buzzing sound of energy being drawn from the spirit crystal echoed in the silent space.

......

Western Regions, Demon-Suppressing Fortress.

Zhao Tieshan's fighter jet passed through the clouds and slowly landed on the fortress's helipad.

The hatch opened and he quickly walked down the gangway.

Zhou Qing's confidant, Lin Xiao, was already waiting by the tarmac. Upon seeing Zhao Tieshan, he hurriedly came to greet him.

"Minister Zhao, Director Zhou is in the command center."

Zhao Tieshan nodded.

Lin Xiao followed them quickly into the fortress.

After passing through several corridors and security checkpoints, they arrived at the command center.

Lin Xiao knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Zhou Qing's calm voice came from inside the door.

Lin Xiao pushed open the door and stepped aside, allowing Zhao Tieshan to enter the command room.

Zhou Qing was sitting behind his desk.

The screen in front of me displays monitoring data for the cracks in the sky.

He saw Zhao Tieshan come in.

Zhou Qing, who was unaware of the situation, stood up, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"Minister Zhao, what brings you here? Is there some instruction from Director Chen?"

Zhao Tieshan clasped his hands in a salute without saying a word.

He took out an exquisite jade box directly from his spatial ring and presented it to Zhou Qing with both hands.

"Director Zhou, Director Chen ordered me to personally deliver this item to you."

Zhou Qing looked at the jade box, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

He reached out and took the jade box, then opened the lid.

A pill lay quietly in a jade box, its fragrance wafting out and instantly filling the entire command room.

The aroma was so rich it was almost tangible; one breath was enough to refresh the mind and even make one's soul tremble slightly.

Zhou Qing's pupils suddenly contracted.

"This is......"

His voice was trembling slightly.

Zhao Tieshan smiled slightly, his tone also carrying a hint of joy: "A Saint-grade top-quality breakthrough pill, personally refined by Chief Chen."

"Master Chen said that this pill can increase the breakthrough probability by 90%, which is enough to allow you to break through to the peak of Martial Saint in one fell swoop."

Zhou Qing's hands trembled slightly as he looked at the pill in the jade box.

Peak of Martial Saint.

He's been stuck at the late stage of Martial Saint for many years.

With his martial arts talent, there is hope for him to break through, but that would require a long time and a lot of resources.

If we're lucky, within ten years.

If you're unlucky, it might take ten or twenty years.

But now Chen Yuan has directly given him a Saint-grade top-quality breakthrough pill, giving him a 90% chance of breaking through!

With the experience and preparation he has accumulated over the years, it's almost a sure thing!

"Chief Chen, he..."

Zhou Qing's eyes were filled with complex emotions: surprise, gratitude, and a hint of indescribable感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a complex feeling of mixed emotions, often including regret or nostalgia).

The relationship between him and Chen Yuan is actually quite complicated.

Nominally, he is the head of the Dragon Martial Division, while Chen Yuan is the honorary head of the Dragon Martial Division.

But actually.

From the day Chen Yuan joined the Dragon Martial Division, Zhou Qing knew that his position as "superior" was merely nominal.

Chen Yuan's strength is too great, so great that he can't control him at all.

Later, Chen Yuan grew stronger and stronger.

So powerful that no one on the entire planet Earth could rival him.

Zhou Qing's mindset also changed from "management" to "cooperation" and then to "following".

He never felt that he was qualified to be on equal footing with Chen Yuan.

But now.

Chen Yuan gave him a Saint-level top-grade breakthrough pill.

A pill of this caliber would be so rare that even the entire resources of a nation might not be enough to acquire just one.

Without saying a word, Chen Yuan had it delivered directly.

"Director Zhou?"

Seeing that Zhou Qing remained silent for a long time, Zhao Tieshan tentatively called out to him.

Zhou Qing snapped out of his daze, carefully closed the jade box, and after a few more words, Zhao Tieshan took his leave.

He stared at the jade box in his hand in silence for a long time.

Then he hesitated for a moment after opening the communication ring, and did not directly contact Chen Yuan's main body.

"Chief Chen should be cultivating right now; it wouldn't be good to disturb him."

Zhou Qing thought for a moment and dialed another number.

......

Japan, Sakura Capital.

A private room on the top floor of a high-end club.

A faint scent of sandalwood filled the air, and the light was soft and ambiguous.

Chen Yuan's clone leaned against a large, soft couch.

His clothes were slightly open, and he looked languid.

Two young women stood to his left and right, their clothes half-undone, revealing their bare shoulders.

Both women were among the most beautiful women in Japan, with fair skin and exquisite features.

One is a popular film and television star.

One is the young lady of a well-known local martial arts family.

Both of them had flushed faces and disheveled hair.

Her eyes were filled with a hazy, watery light, and her whole body exuded a lazy aura of being thoroughly nourished.

Chen Yuan's clone gently stroked one of the people's shoulders with his fingers, a faint smile playing on his lips.

Although it is just a clone, it has all the necessary functions and parts.

Even because of the power of the original body.

This clone's abilities are many times stronger than those of an ordinary person.

Just then.

The communication ring on my wrist vibrated.

Chen Yuan's clone looked down and a smile appeared on his lips.

"Zhou Qing".

He winked at the two women beside him.

The two immediately understood what it meant, and dragged their tired bodies up from the soft couch, quickly putting on their clothes.

Although the movements were quick, there was not a trace of reluctance on his face; on the contrary, he was filled with honor.

Being able to serve Venerable Chen... no, now Venerable Chen, even though it's just an avatar, is a blessing that many people would rather die for.

"Your Majesty, we'll head out now."

The movie star spoke in a low voice, which was still a little soft and sweet.

Chen Yuan's clone waved his hand impatiently.

The two respectfully stepped outside and gently closed the door. Chen Yuan's clone straightened his clothes and opened the communication.

A light screen popped up.

Zhou Qing's face appeared on the screen.

"Chief Chen."

Zhou Qing clasped his hands in a respectful greeting, his tone solemn.

"The pills have been received."

Chen Yuan leaned back on the soft couch and casually waved his hand.

"Once you receive it, absorb it as soon as possible and don't waste it."

Zhou Qing took a deep breath, his eyes filled with sincere gratitude.

"Chief Chen, this pill is far too precious, I..."

"Alright, alright."

Chen Yuan's clone interrupted him, his tone carrying a hint of displeasure.

"I already told you not to try that on me, just take it if I give it to you."

"The sooner you break through to the peak of Martial Saint, the stronger the Dragon Martial Division will be, and the more stable the Great Xia Kingdom will be."

"This is for the greater good, not for your personal gain, understand?"

Zhou Qing paused for a moment, then laughed.

He knew that Chen Yuan was giving him a way out.

"clear."

Zhou Qing nodded solemnly.

"Don't worry, Chief Chen, I will absorb it as soon as possible and live up to your expectations."

Chen Yuan's clone smiled.

"Alright, go ahead, I'll wait for your good news."

"Yes."

The communication was disconnected and the light curtain disappeared.

Chen Yuan leaned back on the soft couch, his gaze fixed on the distant Great Xia Kingdom through the window.

"Peak of Martial Saint..."

He muttered to himself, a smile playing on his lips.

"Old Zhou, Old Zhou, don't let me down."

......

Demon-Suppressing Fortress, Command Room.

Zhou Qing put away the communication ring, stood up, and looked determined.

He arranged all the affairs of the defense line and handed over command to his deputy for the time being.

He then went into a training room deep inside the fortress and closed the heavy alloy door.

The training room wasn't large, but it was fully equipped.

It has everything: a spirit-gathering array, a soundproof array, and a protective array.

Zhou Qing sat down cross-legged, took out the jade box from his spatial ring, and opened the lid.

The pill lay quietly in the box, radiating a warm glow.

Then he took out the rare and precious materials he had accumulated over the years from the ring and arranged them neatly in front of him.

Several eighth- and ninth-grade rare and precious herbs, a small pile of top-grade spirit crystals, and an ancient pill that he had found in some ruins a long time ago.

"After so many years of preparation... this is the day we've been waiting for."
