High Martial Arts: Starting with a Martial Saint Peak Cultivation

"System, claim your reward."

Chen Yuan said softly in his mind.

[Ding, system rewards are being distributed...]

The mechanical sound fell the moment it ended.

Three distinct beams of light shone from the infinite storage space.

A thousand top-grade elemental crystals were neatly stacked together. Each one was the size of a fist, pure white, and seemed to have liquid light flowing slowly inside.

That energy aura was more than ten times richer than that of a top-grade spirit crystal. Just a wisp of it emanating from the storage space caused the spiritual pressure in the entire cultivation room to jump up.

The Spirit Gathering Pill hung quietly to one side, about the size of a thumb, emerald green in color, with fine, hair-like patterns covering its surface.

The patterns resembled a miniature star map, slowly moving along the body of the pill.

A faint fragrance of elixir seeped from the storage space, mingling with the spiritual energy filling the room, giving one a feeling of comfort as if all the pores of one's body were opening up at once.

"This elixir, just the smell of it makes one feel much more energetic."

Chen Yuan nodded in satisfaction.

The last ray of light was a palm-sized, silvery-gray ball of light.

It floated quietly in the deepest part of the storage space, like a piece of moonlight that had been crushed.

Chen Yuan sensed it and found that the ball of light contained an extremely terrifying energy fluctuation.

"The power is indeed not weak. If it hits head-on, even a peak Eternal True God would be severely injured."

He made a soft comment and then shook his head.

"But I still hope it can actually be upgraded, otherwise it will be too useless."

Chen Yuan stopped thinking about it and his mind raced.

A thousand top-grade elemental crystals and the emerald-green Spirit Gathering Pill flew out of the storage space at the same time.

The Yuan Crystals floated neatly around the cultivation room, illuminating the entire space as if it were immersed in milk.

The dense spiritual energy almost turned into water mist, rising from the surface of each elemental crystal and slowly flowing down the ground.

Chen Yuan sat in the center, feeling as if he were soaking in a scalding hot spiritual spring, with spiritual energy repeatedly washing over him from head to toe.

He reached out and took a Yuan Crystal, holding it in his palm to feel it carefully.

The surface of the crystal is warm and smooth like jade, with a cool and smooth feel.

But the energy contained within is incredibly violent, like a beast trapped in glass, ready to break free at any moment.

"Good heavens, the spiritual energy inside is at least ten times stronger than that of a top-grade spirit crystal!"

A look of rapture appeared on Chen Yuan's face.

"If I use this thing to cultivate, I can cut the time it takes to break through to the Supreme Realm by more than half."

"No wonder the truly powerful forces in the universe use elemental crystals as hard currency."

He put down the Yuan Crystal and looked at the Gathering Spirit Pill.

"This thing is even specifically marked that the more spiritual energy there is, the better the effect."

Chen Yuan looked up and glanced around the cultivation room.

"Yuhua Star is one of the most prosperous life-bearing planets in the eastern star region of the Canglan Empire, with spiritual energy far exceeding that of ordinary life-bearing planets."

"I take it at the manor; the effect will only be stronger."

"There's absolutely no need to go out and search for some treasure land."

He made up his mind and didn't hesitate for a moment longer.

Chen Yuan picked up the Spirit Gathering Pill with two fingers, tilted his head back, and threw it into his mouth.

The pill melted instantly upon entering the throat, like a warm, clear stream rolling down the esophagus.

The medicinal power quickly spread in the abdomen, transforming into thousands of extremely fine green lines that traveled in all directions along the meridians.

next second.

Chen Yuan felt as if the spiritual energy of the entire Jade Flower Star was being stirred up by an invisible giant hand.

got windy.

The sea of ​​spiritual energy in the cultivation room paused for a moment, then began to slowly rotate as if attracted by something.

The rotation was getting faster and faster, like a transparent vortex appearing out of thin air in the room.

Followed by.

Even the air outside the manor seemed to stir.

The mist on the lake was stretched into countless thin white lines, rushing towards the direction of the training room.

The butterflies in the flowerbed were thrown about by this sudden surge of spiritual energy, their wings flapping almost twice as fast as usual.

The leaves all leaned towards the depths of the manor, as if countless unseen hands were pointing in that direction.

It's not just the manor.

The manor is dozens, hundreds, or thousands of miles away.

The spiritual energy of the entire Jade Flower Star began to stir.

They seemed to be awakened by some strange fluctuation emitted by the Spirit Gathering Pill, emerging simultaneously from mountains, lakes, forests, and the depths of the earth's veins.

Countless tiny streams of spiritual energy converge into a river, and then into a vast ocean.

They all rushed in the same direction—Yuhua Manor.

Inside the meditation room.

Chen Yuan took a deep breath.

He felt that the spiritual energy surging from all directions was so dense that it was almost tangible. Every breath he took felt like drinking a mouthful of scalding hot spiritual essence.

"The effects of this Spirit Gathering Pill... are truly remarkable."

Chen Yuan sighed inwardly.

"It's even more powerful than I expected."

Without further delay, he formed hand seals and activated the Primordial Divine Scripture at full speed.

A thousand top-grade elemental crystals lit up simultaneously, and streams of pure energy, like a waterfall flowing backward, poured into his body from all directions.

Chen Yuan's aura began to rise again...

at the same time.

In the northern hemisphere of Yuhua Star, there is a private cultivation palace suspended in a sea of ​​clouds.

A middle-aged man dressed in a purple-gold robe was meditating cross-legged.

Beneath him was a spirit-gathering array made of star-patterned cold jade, and beside him lay a fiery unicorn beast with a crimson body.

The fiery unicorn was inhaling and exhaling spiritual energy, with faint flames flickering between its nostrils.

Suddenly, the Flame Scale Beast's breathing weakened.

It opened its eyes somewhat uneasily and looked around.

The middle-aged male cultivator also frowned.

"Hmm? Why does the spiritual energy seem so weak today?"

He stopped his cultivation and looked down at the spirit-gathering array beneath him.

"The spirit-gathering array has failed? That's impossible..."

He reached out and placed his hand on the core of the array, injecting a stream of spiritual energy to check it.

The array patterns lit up, indicating normal operation.

"It's not a problem with the formation."

The middle-aged man frowned even more deeply.

"Then why did the spiritual energy concentration suddenly drop so much?"

The fiery unicorn beside him let out a low growl, clearly sensing the anomaly in the air.

The same thing happened in many cultivation rooms on Yuhua Star.

A young nobleman who was rushing through the gate suddenly opened his eyes, his face full of annoyance.

"What's going on! We don't have enough spiritual energy at this crucial moment!"

He slapped the ground and turned to look at the family butler beside him.

"Go! See what's going on outside!"

The butler responded and ran out, only to return a short while later.

"Young Master, the spiritual energy outside seems to be drifting in one direction, as if it's being sucked away by something."

"It was sucked away? Who did it? They're asking for trouble!"

The young nobleman was so angry that his face turned pale, but after checking the directions, he hesitated.

"That direction... is that Cloud Wilderness Manor?"

He muttered something under his breath, his anger seemingly doused with cold water.

"Let's wait and see."

Beyond the Jade Flower Star.

An extremely luxurious and enormous starport floats silently in the starry sky.

The Star Harbor is entirely silver-white, resembling a giant metal wreath, with a magnificent administrative headquarters standing at its widest point in the center.

This is the administrative center of Yuhua Star, where Fu Xingyuan, the Chief Executive of Yuhua Star, is stationed year-round.

At this moment, inside the General Headquarters, Fu Xingyuan had just finished processing the last stack of documents on his hands.

He leaned back in his chair, looking a little tired, and pinched the bridge of his nose.

outside the window.

The pale blue light membrane outside the starport rippled slowly like flowing water, casting flickering light and shadow on his face.

"Commander-in-Chief!"

A hurried sound of footsteps came from outside the door.

A trusted subordinate in a dark blue uniform strode in, his face showing barely concealed tension.

"What happened? Why are you in such a panic?"

Fu Xingyuan raised his head, his brows furrowing slightly.

"Reporting to the Chief of Staff, there's been some trouble on Yuhua Star!"

His subordinate took a deep breath and quickly reported the situation.

"Just now, the monitoring department discovered that the concentration of spiritual energy on Yuhua Star is decreasing at an extremely rapid rate."

"Many accomplished practitioners have been affected and have called to inquire about their progress."

Fu Xingyuan's face immediately darkened.

"A drop in spiritual energy concentration? Is there a problem with the spiritual veins?"

"Reporting to the Chief of Staff, the cause has not yet been determined."

His subordinate lowered his voice slightly.

"But the monitoring department has activated emergency procedures and is tracking the direction of the spiritual energy flow."

Fu Xingyuan suddenly stood up and placed his hands on the table.

"Investigate! Find out the truth as quickly as possible!"

His voice was so stern it sounded like it was about to freeze.

"The people living on Yuhua Star are not ordinary people."

"If those powerful and influential people cause trouble, I, as the chief of staff, will be in deep trouble!"

"Moreover, there is also a True God-level envoy residing here."

"If anything goes wrong, neither of us can afford the consequences!"

Upon hearing this, the subordinate's face paled even more, and he quickly bowed.

"Understood! I'll take care of it right away!"

After saying that, he quickly left.

Fu Xingyuan stood behind his desk, his fingers tapping the surface unconsciously.

"The spiritual energy has suddenly dropped... Is there some anomaly in the spiritual veins? Or is someone causing trouble?"

Several thoughts flashed through his mind.

"Whatever the reason, it must be resolved in the shortest possible time."

He walked to the window, his gaze passing through the light membrane and landing on the verdant, life-bearing planet below.

The clouds on the surface of Yuhua Star churned like a pot of thick soup being stirred...

About the time it takes for an incense stick to burn has passed.

His subordinates rushed back again.

"Commander, the results of the spiritual vein examination are in!"

He was panting as he handed a report from the quantum computer to Fu Xingyuan.

"All the spiritual veins on Yuhua Star are functioning normally, without the slightest abnormality."

"The mineral veins, array bases, and ley line nodes are all intact."

Fu Xingyuan quickly scanned the report.

"Is there a problem with the spiritual veins?"

His brow remained furrowed.

"Why is the concentration of spiritual energy decreasing?"

"Could it be that some audacious individual has actually tampered with Yuhua Star?"

Fu Xingyuan looked up at his subordinates.

"Have you tracked the flow of spiritual energy?"

The subordinate nodded, his expression somewhat subtle.

"Reporting to the Chief of Staff, we've caught up with them."

"The spiritual energy didn't disappear into thin air; it's converging in the same direction at an extremely fast speed."

"According to monitoring data, the spiritual energy of the entire Yuhua Star is flowing towards the southern part of the western hemisphere."

Fu Xingyuan interrupted him impatiently.

"Just tell me, where did it all go?"

"Special Envoy Chen's Manor".

His subordinate spoke slowly and deliberately.

"All the spiritual energy has gathered at the Cloud Wilderness Manor where Special Envoy Chen is located."

"I have verified it repeatedly and confirmed that it is correct."

"Our initial guess is that Special Envoy Chen used some special method or treasure during his seclusion, which caused such a large-scale disturbance in spiritual energy."

Fu Xingyuan was stunned.

He stood by the window, silent for a long time.

"Special Envoy Chen?"

"Exactly."

Fu Xingyuan slowly exhaled.

"Oh, it was him."

The seriousness on his face visibly eased.

"As long as it's not a problem with the spiritual veins, it's not a big deal."

He waved.

"Okay, you can go now."

The subordinate bowed and turned to leave.

The office returned to silence.

Fu Xingyuan stood by the window for a few more moments before sitting back down in his chair.

"Special Envoy Chen's rank is higher than mine as Chief of Staff."

He pondered this in his heart.

"Although he has no real power, he is an honorary envoy personally appointed by the King of Zhen Dong."

"Not to mention, the local governor, Lord Xiao Yuanshan, recently gave special instructions to take extra care of this Special Envoy Chen."

"If he makes a commotion while in seclusion, I can't just go over there and confront him."

Fu Xingyuan thought for a moment, then turned on the communication bracelet.

"However... I still have to ask."

"After all, it affects the cultivation environment of the entire planet."

"Otherwise, I won't be able to explain it to the other powerful figures."

He found Chen Yuan's contact information and pressed the call request.

drip-drip-drip-

Yuhua Manor, inside the cultivation room.

Chen Yuan was closing his eyes, immersed in the thrill of his rapidly improving cultivation.

The spiritual energy surging in from all directions almost lifted him up, and every inch of his skin greedily absorbed the extremely rich energy.

He had already consumed nearly half of the thousand top-grade elemental crystals, which turned into rings of bright light shards that swirled around him.

But just then...

The communication bracelet on my wrist suddenly vibrated.

drip-drip-drip-

Chen Yuan's brows furrowed sharply.

He slowly stopped his exercise and opened his eyes.

"Who is it? They really know how to pick their timing."

He glanced down at the screen, and the caller ID clearly showed "Fu Xingyuan".

Chen Yuan's eyes revealed obvious displeasure.

"Fu Xingyuan? Chief of the Yuhua Star Clan?"

"Why are you contacting me at this crucial moment?"

He glanced at the communication bracelet again and hesitated for a moment.

"Never mind, I'll answer it first."

"For him to call directly, it must be something significant."

Chen Yuan adjusted her breathing and suppressed her displeasure.

He raised his hand and tapped to connect the communication.

"Chief Fu."

Chen Yuan's voice was flat, but his tone carried a hint of dissatisfaction at being interrupted.

"You called me, is there something you need?"

On the other end of the communication, Fu Xingyuan's figure appeared on the screen.

"Special Envoy Chen, I apologize for disturbing your meditation."

He bowed slightly, his tone as respectful as if he were reporting to a superior.

"That's how it is."

"Just now... the monitoring department of Yuhua Star discovered that the spiritual energy of the entire planet is converging towards your manor."

"In the short time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the concentration of spiritual energy in other areas has decreased significantly."

"The cultivation practices of many powerful and wealthy individuals have been affected, and people outside are already asking about it."

Fu Xingyuan carefully considered his words.

"I've come to ask Special Envoy Chen if you require any assistance?"

After hearing this, Chen Yuan's displeasure disappeared.

"That's all?"

He casually said, "I'm in seclusion and I've taken a pill that can gather spiritual energy."

"The effects will last about a week."

"The spiritual energy fluctuations will naturally return to normal after a week."

Fu Xingyuan visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

"I see, that's good."

"I'm relieved that Special Envoy Chen hasn't encountered any trouble."

He quickly put on a smile.

"I apologize for disturbing your cultivation, Special Envoy Chen."

Seeing that his attitude was good, Chen Yuan didn't say anything more.

"It's alright."

"Is there anything else?"

"No, please continue with your business, Mr. Chen."

Chen Yuan nodded and casually ended the call.

The meditation room fell silent again.

"This Fu Xingyuan is actually quite capable."

He muttered something to himself.

"They didn't start by shouting and accusing others; they knew to find out the situation first."

"Alright, continue your cultivation."

Chen Yuan closed his eyes again, and the Primordial Divine Scripture began to operate once more.

The extremely dense spiritual energy surged into his body once again.

Meanwhile, at the General Headquarters...

Fu Xingyuan ended the call and leaned back in his chair.

"Fortunately, it was just the commotion caused by that person in seclusion."

He let out a long breath and turned to look at his trusted aide who was waiting to the side.

"Spread the word that Special Envoy Chen is currently in seclusion and the spiritual energy fluctuations will subside in a week."

"Tell the families to wait patiently and not to panic."

"Especially those powerful and wealthy people, make things clear so they don't make wild guesses."

The trusted aide immediately responded, "I'll take care of it right away."

The news spread quickly.

Upon hearing that the unusual spiritual energy was related to Special Envoy Chen, the previously restless nobles all quieted down.

"Special Envoy Chen? That's the Eternal True God-level Special Envoy."

"That's alright then, who can afford to offend them?"

"It's only a week, it's not like we can't wait."

"Let the people below rest for a few days until the spiritual energy recovers before they start cultivating again."

Some people shook their heads and smiled bitterly.

"I'm wondering who's so bold as to cause such a commotion on Yuhua Star."

"So it was Special Envoy Chen. That makes no surprise."

"They're an Eternal True God-level expert; what's wrong with them absorbing some spiritual energy during cultivation?"

A potential surge of spiritual energy that could have caused panic was thus calmed down with ease.

Outside Yuhua Manor, a continuous stream of spiritual energy continues to flow in from all directions.

They converged into a pale white stream of air visible to the naked eye, like countless long dragons, vying to squeeze into the crack in the door of the training room.

The entire manor was shrouded in a thin layer of ethereal mist, and from a distance, it looked like a fairyland.

Chen Yuan sat right in the center of this spiritual mist.

His aura was rising at an astonishing speed.

I'm getting closer and closer to breaking through to the Supreme Realm.
