High Martial Arts: Starting with a Martial Saint Peak Cultivation

Zhao Shanhe's voice was somewhat dry.

"Senior... I just received news that Lord Si is on his way to Jianghai City, saying that he... wishes to pay his respects to you."

Chen Yuan raised an eyebrow.

He had overheard Zhao Shanhe's conversation clearly.

Searching his mind for information about the other party's reputation, he realized that they were a household name in the Great Xia Kingdom.

"The Chief of the Dragon Martial Division? Zhou Qing, the First Saint of the Great Xia Kingdom?"

"Exactly."

"Oh, then let's go." Chen Yuan took a sip of tea, looking indifferent.

I had anticipated this when I made my move, so I wasn't surprised by the other party's visit.

Zhao Shanhe swallowed hard.

That's Zhou Qing!

The towering pillar of the martial arts world of the Great Xia Kingdom!

He is one of the top martial arts masters in the world!

How come, in the senior's words, it seems like I'm just... an ordinary visitor?

He dared not ask any more questions and could only stand respectfully.

Chen Yuan had already stood up: "That's enough, I should go back."

"This junior will see you off..."

"Need not."

Chen Yuan took a step forward, and his figure vanished instantly.

Inside the banquet hall.

Only Zhao Shanhe and a few trusted confidants remained, looking at each other in bewilderment.

After a long silence, Wu Feng whispered, "Sir, the Chief Inspector has personally come to Jianghai City. Shouldn't we make some preparations...?"

Zhao Shanhe took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down:

"Pass down the order: raise the city's martial law level to the highest level!"

"Mobilize all available resources to ensure the absolute safety of Senior Chen's neighborhood!"

"Also, although the Heavenly Cave has been suppressed by Senior Chen, we cannot let our guard down. We must send people to keep a close watch on it and prevent any further disturbances..."

"yes!"

The order was conveyed swiftly.

The entire martial arts system in Jianghai City began to operate silently and efficiently.

Chen Yuan had already returned to his living room.

I had just lay down on the sofa when a system notification sounded in my mind:

[Ding! Host's influence has been detected spreading, triggering hidden achievement: First Spread of Fame]

[Bonus Reward: Introductory Insights into the Saint-Level Supreme Defensive Technique "Undying Golden Body"]

[Note: This is a Saint-level body-refining technique. Once mastered, the body becomes impervious to blades, spears, water, and fire; attacks below the Saint level cannot penetrate its defenses.]

["Does the host wish to claim it immediately?"]

"This works?!" Chen Yuan's eyes lit up with surprise.

I never expected that just by showing off my skills, I could intimidate the high-ranking officials of Jianghai City and Longwu Division and trigger a hidden achievement.

This system is so generous!

On Blue Star, items such as weapons, cultivation techniques, and elixirs are uniformly divided into nine tiers, from low to high.

Within each grade, the quality can be further divided into low-grade, medium-grade, high-grade, and top-grade.

The ninth rank can also be called the Saint level because it is comparable to the Martial Saint.

"receive!"

As Chen Yuan finished speaking, a profound realization flooded his mind.

He had a thorough understanding of the cultivation methods, circulation routes, and spiritual energy tempering techniques of the "Undying Golden Body"!

The only downside is that this reward only provides an introductory understanding, unlike the previous "first kill" achievement which directly grants complete mastery.

However, Chen Yuan was already quite satisfied with getting a Saint-level cultivation technique for free.

You must understand this world of high martial arts.

Saint-level cultivation techniques are truly rare treasures!

There are only twenty or thirty Saint-level cultivation techniques openly known throughout the entire Great Xia Kingdom, and they are all in the hands of the Dragon Martial Division and a few martial arts families that rose to prominence after the emergence of the Heavenly Caves.

Ordinary martial artists have never even seen one!

Moreover, the "Indestructible Golden Body" that the system gave us—just from the name, you can tell its defensive power is absolutely terrifying!

"To achieve complete enlightenment, I'll probably need to expand my influence to a wider area..."

Chen Yuan tried to ask the system in his mind.

"System, could you tell me what the trigger conditions are for the hidden achievements?"

[Sorry, host, you can't. Hidden achievements can only be triggered passively and cannot be actively queried.]

"........."

Chen Yuan smacked her lips, still unwilling to give up, and kept pestering him.

But the system still resolutely refused.

"Fine, fine, no wonder it's called a hidden achievement." Chen Yuan had no choice but to give up.

Then, he stopped dwelling on it, sat cross-legged, and began to digest his initial insights into "The Indestructible Golden Body".

The energy cultivation technique is activated.

The spiritual energy within the body travels along a specific route, slowly tempering every inch of flesh, bones, and internal organs.

A few minutes later.

Chen Yuan opened his eyes, and a faint golden glow appeared on his body, which disappeared in a flash.

"It's done!"

He felt the surging power within him, and his physical defense, which was several times stronger than before, and couldn't help but smile.

Although it's just a beginner's understanding.

But even if he stood in front of those six insect kings in the cave and let them attack him at will, those beasts' attacks couldn't break through his defenses!

"Let's see how it goes."

With a thought, Chen Yuan activated the "Indestructible Golden Body".

hum!

A solid golden light shield instantly enveloped his entire body, its light restrained yet exuding an indestructible and weighty aura.

He casually picked up a fruit knife from the table and lightly sliced ​​his arm.

Clang!

The sound of metal clashing rang out.

The blade shattered into dust, leaving not even a white mark on the arm.

"Not bad." Chen Yuan dispersed his cultivation technique, quite satisfied.

He tried to continue his comprehension, hoping to see if he could improve the "Indestructible Golden Body" to a minor level on his own.

But after practicing for more than an hour with very little progress, the excitement dissipated.

"It seems that if I want to improve quickly, I still have to rely on the system rewards..." Chen Yuan lazily lay down on the sofa and stopped trying.

The sky outside the window gradually darkened, and night fell.

A black fighter jet broke through the clouds and arrived over the river and sea.

Inside the cabin.

Zhou Qing slowly opened his eyes.

Looking down at the brightly lit city below, my heart is filled with anticipation.

"Hopefully, we can persuade this Martial Saint Chen. If we can win him over to the Dragon Martial Division, the pressure on the Great Xia's defenses will be greatly reduced, and many more martial artists and civilians will be spared from being slaughtered by foreign races..."

The timing and location of the appearance of various celestial caves around the world are completely unpredictable and cannot be foreseen in advance.

Even with ample precautions, unexpected events can still occur.

Take Jianghai City, for example.

If Chen Yuan hadn't intervened to suppress it, a bloodbath would have been inevitable.

"Lord Chief Inspector, we are about to arrive at the Inspectorate!"

The trusted confidant reported respectfully.

Zhou Qing nodded slightly, his aura subdued, and he appeared like an ordinary middle-aged man.

Inside the Inspectorate.

Zhao Shanhe had been waiting with several core executives, but he didn't make a big show of it, knowing that this Director didn't like to be ostentatious.

The fighter jets landed.

Everyone was so excited that their bodies tensed up, their eyes filled with awe and worship.

To see two Martial Saints in one day is an immense honor!

The Martial Saint was a more dazzling figure in the Great Xia Dynasty than any celebrity or tycoon.

The fighter jet's cabin door opened.

Zhou Qing walked out dressed in simple, practical clothes, his figure upright and his aura restrained, followed by two trusted confidants with composed demeanors.

Zhao Shanhe strode forward and led the group in a respectful bow: "Your subordinate, Zhao Shanhe, respectfully welcomes the Commander to Jianghai!"

Zhou Qing nodded calmly.

A gentle force of martial sainthood lifted everyone up: "No need for formalities."

He didn't waste any words and went straight to the point.

"What's the situation with the medium-sized celestial cave in the west of the city? Where is that Martial Saint Chen now? Have you neglected him?"

Zhao Shanhe hurriedly replied, "Reporting to the Chief, the Heavenly Cave has been pacified by Senior Chen in one strike. The insectoids inside suffered heavy casualties, but there is no immediate danger."

"Senior Chen is resting at home right now. I dare not be negligent in the slightest. After the banquet, Senior Chen left on his own."

Zhou Qing raised an eyebrow slightly.

"At home? Where?"

"It's in Anju Community, a government-built low-rent housing community. The environment is rather basic..." Zhao Shanhe added somewhat awkwardly.

A strange look appeared on Zhou Qing's face.

A powerful figure, whose strength is suspected to be in the middle or late stage of Martial Saint, lives in a low-rent housing community.

That's quite unusual.

His interest in Chen Yuan intensified immediately.

The more low-key they are, the more profound their foundation is!

"Lin Xiao, Liu Yu." Zhou Qing looked at his two trusted confidants behind him.

"Yes!" The two bowed.

"Go to the Heavenly Cave in the west of the city to handle the aftermath and make sure to eliminate all potential hazards. If conditions permit, try to transform it into a controllable resource point."

"yes!"

The two accepted the order, and simultaneously unleashed powerful auras at the Martial Venerable level, disappearing from their original positions in a flash.

Zhao Shanhe and the others were deeply shocked.

Wu Zun!

And there were two of them!

As expected of the strongest Martial Saint in the Great Xia Kingdom, even his trusted confidants are all such powerful figures...

Zhou Qing looked at Zhao Shanhe.

"You shall remain here and stand by. No one is to approach Anju Community without my order."

"yes!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Qing took a step forward.

Without a sound or a trace, he vanished from everyone's sight.

Zhao Shanhe and the others looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock.

"How did the Master and the other two officials... leave?"

"Completely unfathomable..."

"Is this the skill of a high-level martial artist...? Terrifying!"
