High Martial Arts: Starting with a Martial Saint Peak Cultivation

Congratulatory messages from various countries continue to pour in.

The notification sound on the Holy Decree never stopped.

Chen Yuan had already temporarily put those congratulatory telegrams aside.

Because the backyard of the mansion was bustling with activity.

It wasn't completely dark yet.

Butler Zhao then led a dozen or so servants to get busy on the open space next to the island in the middle of the lake.

Several servants quickly set up more than a dozen long tables.

The table was covered with various grilled skewers.

The beef slices were cut into thin slices and arranged neatly.

The Yujiao mutton is perfectly marbled with fat and lean meat, and even the raw meat exudes an enticing sheen.

There is also meat from various spirit beasts from the Heavenly Cave World, some of which even Steward Zhao cannot name.

The vegetables are incredibly diverse.

The Spirit Plant Garden features freshly picked jade leaf vegetables, red flame peppers, ice crystal mushrooms, and otherworldly spiritual vegetables transplanted from various celestial caves.

The table was covered with condiments.

There are seven or eight kinds of chili powder alone.

Chen Tianling personally set up three grills.

Although he was a mid-stage Martial God, he was dressed in casual clothes and brushing oil onto the grill with his sleeves rolled up, looking no different from an ordinary barbecue stall owner.

Chen Yi and Chen Shi were not idle either.

The ten people had clearly defined roles.

Some people were responsible for skewering the meat, some for cutting the vegetables, and some for carrying the plates.

The movements were fluid and graceful.

Chen San and another member of the Holy Dragon Guard even argued for a long time about whether beef skewers should be skewered horizontally or vertically.

In the end, Chen Tianling made the final decision.

"Skewer them horizontally so they grill evenly."

The shadow shrank to two meters in size and squatted next to the grill.

The little eyes were fixed on the sizzling, oily meat skewers on the grill.

Its tail swept across the ground, leaving a mark on the bluestone slab.

"Is it done yet? Is it done yet?"

Its head got closer and closer, almost plunging into the grill.

Chen Tianling pushed it away impatiently.

"What's the rush? It's not ripe yet."

The shadowy figure reluctantly took a half step back.

But his eyes were still glued to the meat skewers.

His drool was practically dripping onto the floor.

Shadowblade lay sprawled on the stone table beside him.

The vertical pupils were also fixed on the grill.

However, it was much more reserved than the Shadow, at least it didn't drool.

Only the trembling of its tail tip betrayed its inner urgency.

The Netherworld is much more direct.

It sat casually on the stone bench, one paw already reaching for a plate of cold-dressed medicinal herbs on the table.

"Let me try this one first!"

The moment the claws touched the edge of the plate, Shadow Blade's tail lashed out.

"The boss hasn't even touched his chopsticks yet, what's the rush?"

Ming Sha sheepishly withdrew his claws.

"I'll just smell it."

"Your saliva is practically dripping into it!"

"Nonsense! My mouth is perfectly shut!"

Butler Zhao and the servants watched as these divine beasts bickered and played around, and they all wanted to laugh but dared not.

My shoulders were shaking from holding it in.

Chen Yuan walked over from the direction of the cultivation tower.

He changed into a loose-fitting casual outfit and wore a pair of slippers.

He doesn't look like some kind of national guardian deity; he looks more like a neighbor's older brother out enjoying the cool evening air.

He walked up to the grill and took a look.

Chen Tianling just picked up the first batch of grilled meat skewers.

"Boss, you try it first."

Chen Yuan took a skewer and took a bite.

The meat is tender, the seasoning is flavorful, and the cooking time is just right.

"Not bad, Tianling, your skills have improved."

Chen Tianling smiled slightly.

"As long as the boss likes it."

Chen Yuan took another bite, then waved to Butler Zhao.

Butler Zhao hurried over.

"Sir, what can I do for you?"

Chen Yuan handed him a few skewers of grilled meat.

"Share this with everyone, don't just stand there, eat together."

Butler Zhao was taken aback.

Holding those skewers of grilled meat in my hand, my eyes suddenly welled up with tears.

"Sir, this...this is too much trouble..."

"What's there to be embarrassed about?"

Chen Yuan waved his hand.

"Today is a day of celebration; everyone in the manor is included."

"Bring out the wine too, let's drink as much as we want tonight."

Butler Zhao bowed deeply.

He turned around and told the servants to distribute the roast meat.

A dozen or so servants gathered around, each holding a skewer of roasted meat, their eyes gleaming.

This is the meat of a sacred beast.

They usually can't even smell it, but today they can actually taste it.

Moreover, it was the National Guardian God himself who made them eat it!

A young maid took a bite of the roast meat, and her eyes instantly welled up with tears.

"It's so delicious! I've never eaten anything this good in my life..."

The old servant next to him patted him on the shoulder.

"Stop crying, what are you crying about? We're lucky to be able to work at the Holy Venerable's Mansion, it's like our ancestors' graves are emitting auspicious smoke."

"Eat it quickly, it won't taste good when it gets cold."

Youying finally got to eat the meat skewers.

It darted down to the tree with ten skewers of grilled meat in its mouth and lay down to eat them one after another.

His mouth was stuffed full.

Even its tail didn't forget to protect the remaining skewers, as if afraid that Ming Sha would steal them.

Ming Sha chuckled.

"Look at you, so pathetic. Who would want to steal yours?"

The voice just fell.

Taking advantage of the shadow's inattention, it scooped up a string of them with one paw.

The shadowy figure instantly bristled.

"Netherworld Demon! You're asking for it!"

A flash of purple light appeared.

Shadow, carrying the remaining skewers, darted onto the roof.

Ming Sha grabbed his spoils and ran away.

The two guys were chasing each other in the yard, causing a commotion.

Shadow Blade lay on the stone table, watching the farce unfold, his vertical pupils filled with disdain.

"He's supposed to be a mid-stage tenth-tier expert, chasing after people for a few skewers of grilled meat. Aren't you ashamed?"

After it finished speaking, it lowered its head and slowly ate its portion of roast meat.

Her posture was elegant and dignified.

Chen Tianling watched from the side and muttered something under his breath.

"Who almost turned their tail into a propeller just now?"

The shadow blade's tail froze.

It snorted and turned its head to the side.

Pretend you didn't hear anything.

Chen Yuan sat on a stone bench, eating kebabs while watching his men fool around.

A slight smile always lingered at the corners of his mouth.

It's rare to have such a leisurely time.

Since the Tianku Uprising, he has been either fighting or cultivating.

Opportunities to sit down and have a proper meal like today are few and far between.

Butler Zhao then brought out several plates of freshly grilled meat skewers.

Wine jars were also brought out, their aroma filling the air.

The servants gathered around another stone table, still somewhat reserved, but much more relaxed than before.

Several of the young servants even dared to chat quietly.

Chen Tianling raised his glass to toast Chen Yuan.

Chen Yi and Chen Shi also raised their glasses together.

"Congratulations, Boss, on breaking through to the True God Realm!"

The eleven people spoke loudly.

The tremor caused the ripples on the lake's surface to tremble slightly.

The shadowy figure leaped down from the roof, also holding a wine glass in its mouth and raising it.

"Our leader is mighty! Our leader is invincible!"

Ming Sha and Ying Ren also raised their wine glasses.

"Congratulations, boss!"

Chen Yuan smiled and clinked glasses with them.

Just then.

The purple-gold Saintly Token at his waist vibrated again.

Chen Yuan put down the skewers, picked up the Holy Venerable Token, and glanced at it.

The screen was filled with congratulatory messages.

The wording used by each member state is almost identical.

In his congratulatory telegram, Smith added a carefully chosen sentence in addition to his best wishes.

"Alliance Leader Chen, if it is convenient for me to visit you in person in the Great Xia Kingdom."

Pierre's congratulatory telegram was similar.

"By the divine grace of Chen Zhen, the Western European Union wishes to send a delegation to pay homage. I wonder if you have time to receive them?"

Chachai's congratulatory telegram was more direct.

"Lord Chen, all the Martial Saints of the Nanyang Alliance wish to personally come and congratulate you."

Allen, Carlos, Peter, Amir, and the other heads of state used different words, but their meanings were all roughly the same.

I want to come to the Great Xia Kingdom.

I want to see him.

I wanted to congratulate him in person on breaking through to the True God Realm.

Chen Yuan looked at the congratulatory telegrams and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

How could he not understand what these people were thinking?

They said they came to congratulate him.

Actually, I just wanted to get to know him better.

Getting your face known is only the first step.

On a deeper level, they wanted to hear him say something in person.

The insights gained from the True God Realm are also good.

The experience of cultivation is also good.

Even a casual word of advice or two would be helpful.

At his current level, even a casual remark from him could be an opportunity that those martial saints dream of!

"These guys are quick with their news."

Chen Yuan shook his head, put the Holy Venerable Token aside, and continued eating his kebabs.

He didn't rush to reply.

Taking advantage of the lull, the shadowy creature snatched a few more skewers of freshly grilled meat.

Even Ming Sha didn't dare to compete with it this time, because those skewers were Chen Tianling's special Red Flame Pepper Grilled Meat, which smelled so spicy it made your nose tingle.

Shadow took a bite, its small eyes widening in surprise.

"Ouch! It's so spicy!"

It darted to the lakeside like a purple cannonball and submerged its entire head in the water.

A string of bubbles rose up.

Everyone present burst out laughing.

Shadowblade shook his head in disdain.

But the curve of its lips betrayed it.

Chen Yuan also chuckled.

He picked up his wine glass, took a sip, and glanced at the congratulatory messages that kept popping up on the Holy Decree. Suddenly, he became interested.

"Since everyone wants to come see me."

He muttered something to himself, then suddenly realized something.

He finished the skewer in one bite and stretched out a big yawn.

The bones made a series of cracking sounds.

"Then let's just meet them."

The noise on the table gradually subsided.

Chen Tianling put down the skewers in his hand and looked at Chen Yuan.

Chen Yi and the others also stopped their fighting.

Butler Zhao and the servants stood up straight.

Everyone sensed what the boss was about to say.

Chen Yuan stood up and glanced at everyone present.

"I plan to take this opportunity to give a sermon."

"It's on the plain in front of the celestial statue."

Chen Tianling's eyes narrowed.

sermon!

With his cultivation at the True God Realm, he personally preached to all martial artists in the world!

Chen Yuan continued speaking.

"I did have quite a few insights when I broke through to the True God Realm before."

"My understanding of each realm is also much deeper than when I was in the Martial God Realm."

"Since people from all the member states want to learn from me, I might as well explain it to them all at once."

"So they won't come looking for me one by one later."

His tone was so casual, as if he were saying he was going out shopping tomorrow.

But these words weighed like a ton of bricks to Chen Tianling!

Chen Tianling put down the skewers in his hand and his expression became serious.

"Boss, what scope do you plan to cover in your sermons?"

Chen Yuan thought for a moment.

"Let me share my insights on different levels of understanding."

"From martial apprentice to martial king, from martial king to martial emperor, from martial emperor to martial venerable, from martial venerable to martial saint, from martial saint to martial god."

"Let's talk about the threshold above the Martial God realm... the True God realm."

"How much they can understand depends on their own abilities."

Chen Tianling took a deep breath.

From martial arts master to true god.

It encompasses all realms.

Especially the insights gained from the Martial God Realm and the True God Realm, which are priceless treasures for God Realm experts!

Chen Yuan picked up the Holy Venerable's Decree and edited a message.

I have received your congratulatory messages.

"Since you are so enthusiastic, let's take this opportunity to hold a sermon for all martial artists in the world."

"The time is set for one week from now, and the location is the plain area in front of the Celestial God Statue outside the capital city of Luodu in the Great Xia Kingdom."

"This sermon is open to all martial saints and above from all member states."

"At the same time, no threshold is set for martial artists from the Great Xia Kingdom."

"Regardless of cultivation level, status, whether one is a Martial Saint or a Martial Artist, or even an ordinary person, anyone who wants to participate can do so."

He paused, then added a sentence.

"If you have time, you are all welcome to attend."

After editing the message, he did not send it to the group.

Instead, they chose to give a uniform reply.

All the high-ranking officials of the member states that just sent their congratulatory messages will receive this message.

Chen Yuan sent another message to Zhou Qing.

"Chief Zhou, I need to hold a sermon on the plain in front of the Celestial Statue, open to all martial artists. The time is set for one week from now. Please inform the press department to issue an official announcement. Also, please arrange the security."

send.

After doing all this, Chen Yuan hung the Holy Venerable Token back on his waist.

He picked up the skewer again and took a bite.

It was as if I had just done something insignificant.

Chen Tianling had already stood up.

He bowed deeply to Chen Yuan.

"Boss, your actions are an immeasurable act of kindness to all martial artists in the world."

Chen Yi to Chen Shi all stood up and bowed.

None of the ten people spoke, but the reverence on their faces said it all.

As Butler Zhao watched this scene, his old eyes reddened slightly.

He has served many important figures.

But I have never seen such a broad-minded and strong person as you!

Even ordinary martial arts masters are afraid that their secrets will be learned by others.

The gentleman, on the other hand, directly shared all his insights from martial arts master to true god.

Moreover, there are no barriers to entry.

Anyone can come and listen.

This magnanimity and vision are unparalleled on the entire planet!

Chen Yuan waved his hand.

"Alright, alright, stop being so serious, everyone sit down and continue eating."

"Today's theme is barbecue, not flattery."

Chen Tianling then straightened up and sat back down in front of the grill.

But his movements as he flipped the skewers were noticeably more nimble.

The shadowy figure climbed out of the lake and shook the water droplets off its head.

His eyes, red from the spiciness, were fixed on the direction of the Holy Decree.

"Boss, there will be a lot of people giving a sermon in a week, right?"

Chen Yuan nodded.

"Yes, I estimate that all the warriors on Earth will come."

"The plain in front of the celestial statue is large enough to accommodate it."

Youying chuckled twice.

"That scene must be spectacular."

"The boss was preaching under the statue, and there was a huge crowd below, maybe even more than during the Heavenly Cave riot."

"Of course."

Ming Sha interjected.

"The Heavenly Cave Uprising was forced upon them, while they rushed to preach. How can they be the same?"

"At that time, the entire plain might not be able to accommodate everyone."

As Chen Yuan listened to their discussion, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

He picked up a skewer of freshly grilled meat and looked into the distance.

The direction of the celestial statue.

The towering, dark gold statue, hundreds of feet tall, was faintly visible in the night, its silhouette majestic.

A week later.

Right at the foot of that statue.

He came to preach to all the warriors on the planet Earth.

It's settled.

Chen Yuan took another bite of the kebab, and a thought suddenly popped into her mind.

"I wonder if this sudden burst of enthusiasm for lecturing will trigger some hidden achievement or something."

"If possible, that would be the icing on the cake."

"If it's not possible, then we won't force you."

He shook his head, temporarily setting the thought aside.

Anyway, he can't control the system.

Just let things take their course.
