High Martial Arts: Starting with a Martial Saint Peak Cultivation

The moment the hatch opened.

Chen Yuan stepped out of the airship.

He glanced at the dark mass of people outside the manor, but felt no emotion whatsoever.

Since he had agreed to the propaganda for the Prince of Zhendong, he would naturally cooperate in the necessary situations.

Chen Yuan continued walking, a thought suddenly stirring in his mind.

A powerful pressure emanated from his body, but he only released less than one-thousandth of its intensity.

Even so, everyone present simultaneously felt a weight on their shoulders, as if an invisible mountain was pressing down on them.

The pressure was not violent, but profound and abyssal.

Everyone could clearly feel that they were as insignificant as a speck of dust in front of this special envoy.

Fu Xingyuan stood in the closest position, his palms sweaty.

He had read in the information that this Special Envoy Chen was in the middle stage of the Eternal True God realm, but he didn't have a very specific idea of ​​what that meant.

Now that I've experienced it firsthand, I understand what a difference truly means.

He had seen more than one eternal god in his life, but this was the first one with such profound and overwhelming pressure.

Jing Heng's pupils suddenly contracted.

As a soldier, he was more perceptive in judging the aura of a strong person than a civil official.

This special envoy Chen's aura contained the power of multiple laws, each of which reached a height that he could not reach!

The laws of space, the laws of metal, the laws of wood... and several other laws that he couldn't even recognize.

If the two were to fight, he had no doubt that he wouldn't be able to withstand even a single move.

The dozens of reporters at the entrance of the manor were so excited that their hands were trembling.

A young female reporter covered her mouth and whispered to the photographer next to her.

"My God, is this the oppressive power of the eternal God? I feel like I can hardly breathe."

Her photographer was carrying equipment, his forehead covered in sweat.

"Quick, take a picture! Don't just stand there! This footage will definitely make the Imperial News headlines!"

Chen Tianling followed Chen Yuan out.

He felt the pressure emanating from his boss, and a slight smile appeared on his lips. He understood that his boss was actively cooperating with the publicity.

Now that the leader has made his stance clear, they naturally have to follow suit.

With a thought, Chen Tianling unleashed his late-stage True God aura without reservation.

A dark golden aura of divine power flowed across the surface of the armor, and the fluctuations of the five ultimate laws intertwined.

The sharpness of metal, the vitality of wood, the explosiveness of fire, the chill of ice, and the emptiness of space.

The pressure of the five laws spread simultaneously, causing the surrounding air to distort slightly.

The shadowy creature flicked its tail, a glint of ghostly light flashing in its vertical pupils.

Its massive body trembled slightly as it unleashed its unique spatial talent as a void behemoth.

The oppressive aura of a late-stage True God, mixed with the power of the void, surged wildly in all directions.

Chen Yi and the other ten people also released the pressure of the mid-stage True God.

The ten auras were perfectly synchronized, like ten sharp swords drawn from their sheaths.

The oppressive aura of thirteen powerful figures intertwined above the manor.

Although there was no deliberate outburst, the oppressive aura that emanated naturally silenced the hundreds of people present.

Fu Xingyuan and Jing Heng were alright, after all, they were both at the peak of True God cultivation.

Although shocked, I managed to remain calm.

However, most of the people present were far less skilled than them.

Those journalists and dignitaries of martial arts prowess turned pale.

Some people instinctively took a step back, and some people's hands holding the camera equipment were trembling slightly.

But everyone's eyes revealed an undisguised excitement and exhilaration!

The new honorary envoy is far more powerful than they had previously imagined.

And the guard team behind him is equally formidable!

The addition of such a high-ranking figure to the Canglan Empire was incredibly exciting news for them.

Fu Xingyuan suppressed his shock and quickly walked to Chen Yuan's side.

He took a deep breath and announced loudly using a megaphone.

"Let us welcome our honorary envoy, Lord Chen Yuan, to Yuhua Star with the warmest applause!"

As soon as he finished speaking, thunderous applause erupted both inside and outside the manor.

The cannons fired again, and the band played an even more magnificent welcoming melody.

Reporters frantically pressed their shutters, the flashes illuminating the entire entrance to the manor.

Hundreds of powerful and influential representatives shouted in unison.

"Welcome, Special Envoy Chen!"

The sound was deafening, echoing throughout the entire manor.

Chen Yuan nodded slightly and greeted everyone.

Fu Xingyuan gestured for him to proceed.

"Special Envoy Chen, please come in. The interview ceremony is ready and can begin at any time."

Chen Yuan was about to take a step.

Just then, a low, whooshing sound came from the sky.

A cyan starship emerged from the clouds at an extremely high speed.

The surface of the starship was shimmering with eternal, low-grade spiritual light, making it Xiao Yuanshan's flying treasure.

Jing Heng looked up and his pupils contracted slightly.

"That's... Envoy Xiao Zhenyu's starship!"

Everyone present looked up.

The cyan starship descended at an extremely fast speed, stopping at the manor gate in just a few breaths.

The hatch opened, and Xiao Yuanshan strode out.

He was still wearing that blue battle armor, but his collar was a little disheveled, clearly indicating that he had rushed over.

The dignitaries at the manor gate were once again shaken when they saw Xiao Yuanshan.

"Envoy Xiao Zhenyu has arrived too!"

"My goodness, even Lord Xiao himself came to attend the interview ceremony!"

"This Special Envoy Chen has way too much influence!"

Xiao Yuanshan walked quickly to Chen Yuan, his face showing some apology.

He clasped his hands in a gesture of respect, his voice slightly breathless.

"Special Envoy Chen, I am truly sorry! I encountered some unexpected military matters on the way, which delayed me considerably."

"I had promised to personally greet you on Yuhua Star, but you arrived here first."

"This is extremely rude of me. I hope Special Envoy Chen will forgive me."

Chen Yuan glanced at him.

Fine beads of sweat glistened on Xiao Yuanshan's forehead, and the energy fluctuations from the spatial jump still lingered on his armor.

It's clear they rushed over as fast as they could.

He waved his hand casually.

"It's alright, the interview ceremony hasn't started yet anyway, you're not too late."

Xiao Yuanshan breathed a sigh of relief, and the apology on his face faded considerably.

"That's good, that's good. I thought I was going to miss it."

Chen Yuan pointed to the manor gate.

"Since we're here, let's go in together."

Xiao Yuanshan nodded quickly.

"Alright, alright, Special Envoy Chen, please go first."

The two walked side by side toward the manor gate, chatting and laughing.

Chen Tianling and Youying followed behind, while Chen Yi and ten others lined up to follow.

Fu Xingyuan and Jing Heng stood on either side, while the hundreds of dignitaries followed at the back.

The manor gates slowly opened.

A wide white stone avenue leads directly from the entrance to the main building of the manor.

The avenue was lined with exotic flowers and plants, their fragrance filling the air.

Every ten steps there was a waiter in formal attire, bowing in unison.

The representatives of the powerful and wealthy followed in single file, each with a beaming smile, but their thoughts were all different.

An elderly nobleman dressed in fine clothes whispered to his companion beside him.

"Did you see that? Envoy Xiao Zhenyu and Special Envoy Chen are chatting and laughing together; their relationship is clearly not ordinary."

His companion nodded in agreement.

"It's more than just unusual. What's Xiao Zhenyu's usual temper like? There are very few people in the entire Eastern Star Region who would treat him with such courtesy."

A middle-aged man who looked like a merchant lowered his voice and interjected.

"This Special Envoy Chen will probably be staying on Yuhua Star for a long time. To have His Highness personally arrange his accommodations and have Envoy Xiao Zhenyu personally accompany him, his status is... tsk tsk."

A glint of shrewdness flashed in the old nobleman's eyes.

"We need to find a way to get in touch with this special envoy..."

"Putting everything else aside, just his cultivation level as a mid-stage Eternal True God is enough to turn the tide of battle should the Empire and the Bloodfang Tribe ever clash."

The merchant nodded quickly.

"That's right, that's right. For a powerhouse like this, making a good relationship is a sure win. I'll have someone prepare some generous gifts when I get back, and I'll pay them a visit another day."

Another young officer also came over.

"Did you notice? The deputy behind Special Envoy Chen, wearing dark gold armor, exudes a pressure containing five ultimate laws."

"The five guards, all mid-stage True Gods, are also powerful individuals who have comprehended multiple laws. This entire team could roam freely even in our Eastern Star Region."

The old nobleman sighed.

"To be able to travel all the way from other distant star systems to our Canglan Empire, how could you do it without some real skills?"

"You can only befriend this kind of person; you must never offend them."

.........

In front of the main building of the manor is a wide square, with a brand-new red carpet laid in the center.

At the end of the red carpet was a temporary stage with a long table and microphone.

Hundreds of seats were neatly arranged below the stage, with the front row reserved for reporters.

Dozens of reporters had already set up their equipment, with all their cameras pointed at the press conference platform.

Fu Xingyuan led the way, bringing Chen Yuan and his group to the podium.

He said respectfully.

"Special Envoy Chen, the interview ceremony will be held here."

"According to the procedure, the first part is the Q&A session with reporters, and then you can say a few words."

"The whole process takes about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, it won't be too long."

He paused, then lowered his voice and added.

"I've already spoken to the reporters; they won't ask any offensive questions."

"You can answer with confidence."

Chen Yuan nodded and sat down behind the long table.

Xiao Yuanshan sat next to him, while Chen Tianling and Youying stood behind him.

Chen and his ten men were scattered around the press conference platform, maintaining vigilance.

Fu Xingyuan walked onto the podium and loudly announced into the microphone.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the interview ceremony for Honorary Envoy Chen Yuan is now officially beginning!"

The reporters in the audience raised their hands simultaneously, eager to ask questions.

Fu Xingyuan pointed to the most senior reporter at the front.

The reporter stood up and bowed respectfully.

"Greetings, Special Envoy Chen. I am a reporter from the Imperial Daily."

"May I ask where you came from in the Azure Sky Empire? And why did you choose to settle within the empire's territory?"

Chen Yuan leaned forward slightly and spoke in a calm tone.

"I came from a very distant place, passed through many star fields, and finally arrived at the Azure Empire."

"I chose to settle here because your country's system is very friendly to practitioners, and the public security is also good."

The reporter quickly noted it down and then asked further questions.

"Would it be convenient to tell us your hometown?"

Chen Yuan shook his head.

"It's too far away; even if I told you, you might not know."

The reporter didn't dare to ask any more questions, thanked them, and sat down.

Fu Xingyuan then selected another female reporter.

The female reporter's voice was trembling with excitement.

"Hello, Special Envoy Chen! I'm a reporter from the Eastern Star Region News Channel!"

"What was your first impression of the Canglan Empire?"

Chen Yuan thought for a moment.

"It's great. The citizenship process was quick, and the officials from Minglan Star and Ziyun Star Garden were very welcoming."

He glanced at Xiao Yuanshan beside him and added another sentence.

"Envoy Xiao Zhenyu was very polite and made a special trip to invite me to serve as an honorary special envoy."

A burst of good-natured laughter rang out from the audience.

Xiao Yuanshan smiled and waved his hand from the side.

The female reporter pressed for more information.

"So, do you plan to live on Yuhua Star long-term?"

Chen Yuan nodded.

"If nothing unexpected happens, I'll be staying here for a while."

A burst of excited whispers came from the press section.

This means that this powerful being, at the level of an eternal true god, will become a permanent resident in their eastern star region.

Fu Xingyuan then called on several other reporters, and the questions they asked were largely the same.

Chen Yuan answered each question one by one, speaking little but maintaining a calm demeanor throughout.

The time it takes for an incense stick to burn quickly passed.

Fu Xingyuan went on stage to announce the end of the interview, and the audience erupted in enthusiastic applause once again.

.........

Meanwhile, this news broadcast was being broadcast to every corner of the Azure Empire via the Empire's official channels.

Azure Sky Empire, Imperial Capital Star.

In a secret room deep within the palace, several elderly men dressed in purple and gold robes were sitting around a huge holographic screen.

The scene on the screen was a live interview at Yuhua Manor.

An elderly man with white hair and beard stroked his beard, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.

"This Chen Yuan's aura is indeed calm and composed. That kid Mu Cangyun managed to get someone back for the Empire this time."

Another thin, elderly man nodded.

"Mid-stage Eternal True God, Six Ultimate Laws, and a Void Beast mount. This kind of configuration would rank in the top thirty in our empire."

An elderly man with a dignified face spoke up calmly.

"Continue to observe for a while. If the other party truly has no ulterior motives, you can appropriately increase some resources."

The old man, whose hair and beard were both white, smiled.

"To exchange an honorary envoy position for a powerhouse of this caliber is a very worthwhile deal."

"Mu Cangyun is quite reliable."

.........

On a remote mining planet in the southern star system of the Empire.

Several miners were gathered around a dilapidated holographic screen, which was showing a live broadcast of an interview with Yuhua Manor.

As the camera panned across the ten Holy Dragon Guards behind Chen Yuan, a young miner couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

"Five mid-stage True God guards, one late-stage True God assistant, plus a Void Beast... This lineup is too luxurious."

The old miner next to him wiped the sweat from his face.

"This Special Envoy Chen is definitely a real big shot, able to lead such a group of brothers across distant star systems to explore everywhere."

The young miner's eyes were filled with admiration.

"I want to be as capable as this Special Envoy Chen someday!"

The old miner chuckled and patted him on the head.

"Then you'd better train hard and not be lazy."

.........

On the bridge of a patrol warship on the northern border of the empire.

The captain and first officer were staring at the scene on the holographic screen where Chen Yuan was releasing his aura.

The adjutant gasped.

"Captain, is the pressure from a mid-stage Eternal God really this terrifying? I feel weak in the knees just looking at it through the screen."

The captain shook his head.

"It's not that all mid-stage Eternal True Gods are this terrifying, but this Envoy Chen is exceptionally terrifying. Did you notice that his aura incorporates at least six or seven laws?"

He pulled up the slow-motion footage and watched it carefully again.

"That deputy is no simple character either; he possesses five ultimate laws and is equally formidable."

"The adjutant remarked with emotion."

"I don't know where the Empire found such a powerful expert; it's like they struck gold."

The captain turned off the screen and leaned back in his chair.

"In any case, the more eternal gods the empire has, the less pressure we face on our borders. That's a good thing."

.........

Dark Empire, Intelligence Department.

A man in black robes projected interview footage from the Canglan Empire's official channel onto a holographic screen.

An aged voice rang out from the shadows behind him.

"The Azure Sky Empire has gained another mid-stage Eternal True God... Have you found out Chen Yuan's background?"

The man in black shook his head.

"We can't find anything. The information from Canglan only says that the other party came from a distant star field. But this person's strength is probably not to be underestimated. An Eternal True God who can subdue a void behemoth is definitely not an ordinary character."

The voice in the shadows fell silent for a moment.

"Keep an eye on it. Investigate if you can, but don't alert them if you can't find anything."

.........

Silverwing Federation, Presidential Palace.

An elderly man in a silver-gray military uniform held a cup of coffee and watched the interview with Chen Yuan on the screen.

He looked at it for a while before turning to his secretary beside him and speaking.

"Compile a file on Chen Yuan and send it to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. We'll need to include him when dealing with the Canglan Empire in the future."

The secretary quickly wrote it down.

The old man added.

"Also, send a congratulatory telegram to the Canglan Empire, be polite in your wording. I heard that this Special Envoy Chen has been traveling all the way from other star regions. These kinds of wandering powerhouses generally don't like to be bound. The fact that Canglan was able to keep him here shows they are truly capable."

.........

The round table conference room on the top floor of the Xinghai Business Alliance headquarters.

Several elders of the business alliance were also watching the live stream of Yuhua Manor.

A chubby elder stroked his chin.

"Having reached the mid-stage of Eternal True God, Canglan has truly struck gold this time. Do you think this Special Envoy Chen will affect our business in the Eastern Star Region in the future?"

Another tall, thin elder shook his head.

"It doesn't seem likely at the moment."

"The honorary envoy is a nominal position, which means this person has no intention of participating in Canglan's military and political affairs. Such a person just wants to find a peaceful place to cultivate."

The fat elder nodded.

"That's good."

"However, we still need to make some preparations in advance and send someone to deliver a congratulatory gift to this Special Envoy Chen so that we can become acquainted with him."

"Having more friends means having more options."

.........

Bloodfang Tribe, Wolf Head Star.

An orc general covered in blood-red fur slammed his battle axe into the ground.

He looked at the interview footage on the screen and chuckled.

"So what if he's a mid-stage Eternal True God? Even if those cowards from Canglan gather ten more Eternal True Gods, they still can't stop the iron hooves of my Bloodfang Tribe."

A fox clan strategist standing nearby shook his head.

"General, we must not underestimate the enemy."

"Void behemoths are extremely rare in the universe, and any powerful being capable of subduing such a being is definitely not a simple character."

"We still need to be more careful."

The orc general snorted but did not refute.

.........

The interview ceremony at Yuhua Manor concluded successfully amidst applause.

The reporters packed up their equipment, still seemingly uninterested, while representatives of the powerful and influential lined up to exchange pleasantries.

An elderly nobleman dressed in fine clothes squeezed to the front and said to Chen Yuan with a big smile.

"Special Envoy Chen, it's truly a blessing for our Eastern Star Region that you've chosen to settle on Yuhua Star! My home is in that manor next door; I'll definitely invite you over for tea sometime!"

Before he could finish speaking, another middle-aged man who looked like a merchant interrupted.

"Your Excellency, I am the head of the eastern region of the Starsea Business Alliance. If you need to purchase anything in the future, just let me know, and I'll give you a 50% discount!"

A young officer squeezed through the crowd, carrying an exquisite gift box.

"Special Envoy Chen, these are some local specialties I brought back from the border. Please accept them as a small token of my appreciation!"

Chen Yuan nodded in response, but did not accept any gifts.

Accompanied by Chen Tianling and Xiao Yuanshan, he walked out of the crowd and headed towards the main building of the manor.

Although the powerful and wealthy did not receive any substantial promises, they were already satisfied just to be able to exchange a few words with the special envoy.

Back at the main building of the manor, Xiao Yuanshan accompanied Chen Yuan on a tour.

The cultivation room was spacious and bright, and the spirit-gathering array was indeed of a very high grade.

The medicinal herb garden covers hundreds of acres, and the soil is mixed with special medicinal fertilizer.

The Beast Taming Arena was more than three times larger than the Purple Cloud Star Garden, and Youying ran wild as soon as she entered.

After inspecting all the facilities, Chen Yuan nodded in satisfaction.

"Please thank Your Highness for the arrangements on my behalf."

Xiao Yuanshan quickly waved his hand.

"Of course, of course. Special Envoy Chen, please feel free to contact me if you need anything."

He added.

"General Fu and General Jing are stationed at the starport near the planet. Just call them if you need anything."

Chen Yuan nodded.

Xiao Yuanshan did not linger any longer and took his leave with a fist and a fist salute.

Chen Yuan stood on the balcony of the main building of the manor, gazing at the lake under the setting sun.

The fiery sunset was reflected on the lake, and a few water birds skimmed across the surface, creating ripples.

Chen Tianling walked up from behind.

"Boss, the area around the manor has been checked. The defensive formations and spirit-gathering formations are all standard configurations from the Imperial government."

"There are no eavesdropping devices or surveillance arrays."

Chen nodded and added.

"I also inspected the cultivation room and the spirit herb garden; they are both very clean."

Chen Yuan turned around.

"Check it one more time, and then, just like in the Purple Cloud Star Garden, I'll set up a few more arrays."

"Safety first when traveling."

Chen Tianling nodded and led the Holy Dragon Guards to get to work.

Chen Yuan leaned against the balcony railing, toying with the honorary envoy's token.

From the welcoming ceremony at Xinggang to the interview ceremony at the manor, and then to Xiao Yuanshan's attitude.

The Canglan Empire's high regard for him was genuine and not feigned.

But none of that mattered to him.

The important point is that from today onwards, this manor will be his new training ground.

Next, I'll just stay here and quietly sign in, slowly building up my strength.

Once you've accumulated enough capital, you can break through to the Supreme Realm or even higher.

By then, the world will be vast, and you can go anywhere.
