High Martial Arts: Starting with a Martial Saint Peak Cultivation

Chen Yuan looked at Shadow Blade, a faint smile playing on his lips.

Although this guy said "congratulations," the envy and grievance hidden in his vertical pupils could not escape his perception.

The divine sense of a Martial God Realm cultivator is extremely sharp.

Not to mention Shadowblade's little schemes, he could even sense exactly which direction the ant in the front yard was crawling.

"Shadow Blade".

Chen Yuan spoke in a flat tone.

Shadowblade shuddered and quickly bowed his head: "Your subordinate is here."

Chen Yuan leaned against the tree trunk, looking at it with a detached gaze.

"Are you wondering why everyone else has broken through but you haven't?"

Shadowblade's body stiffened for a moment.

He opened his mouth to deny it, but when he met Chen Yuan's eyes, which seemed to see through everything, he swallowed the words back.

"I am indeed somewhat envious."

Its voice was low and somewhat cautious: "However, I didn't mean anything by it, it's just..."

"Alright."

Chen Yuan waved his hand to interrupt it, his tone casual.

"This is not your destiny, and you cannot force it."

Shadowblade nodded quickly: "Understood, subordinate."

"but......"

Chen Yuan changed the subject, looking at Ying Ren with a meaningful smile: "From now on, follow me well. The mid-stage of the ninth rank is just your starting point."

That's a very understated statement.

But to Shadowblade, it was like a thunderclap exploding in his mind!

Mid-stage ninth rank is just the beginning?

That means...

It can even break through to the late stage of the ninth rank, the peak of the ninth rank, or even... half a step into the tenth rank?

Shadow Blade's vertical pupils suddenly contracted.

My heart suddenly started racing!

It would definitely scoff at someone else saying that.

With the spiritual energy in the current ruins of the myriad worlds and the small world of Blue Star, every step after the ninth level is as difficult as ascending to heaven!

Without sufficient resources and opportunities, it's common to be stuck at a bottleneck your whole life!

But the person who said this was Chen Yuan, the first Martial God Realm expert on Blue Star, a monster who possessed a fully formed World Origin Tree!

A prodigy who led twelve people to breakthroughs overnight!

How can you not believe what he says?

"Thank you, sir!"

Shadowblade knelt on the ground with a thud, his voice trembling.

"Your subordinate will certainly do his utmost to serve you, my lord! I will never dare to slacken in the slightest!"

It raised its head, its vertical pupils filled with excitement and gratitude.

"My lord, you possess unparalleled talent and a magnanimous heart. To be able to serve under your command is a blessing I have accumulated over many lifetimes!"

"From now on, I will follow your lead completely. If you order me to go east, I will never go west! If you order me to catch a dog, I will never chase a chicken!"

"Your Excellency is my Shadow Blade's rebirth, from this day forward..."

The shadowy figure in Chen Yuan's arms seemed increasingly strange.

His little eyes were wide open.

"Wait, wait, wait!"

It poked its head out from Chen Yuan's arms, its little paws pointing at Shadow Blade with a wary look.

"Hey kid, you've got a taste for flattery, haven't you?"

"Now that your 'second parent' has appeared, are you trying to steal my position?"

Shadowblade was taken aback and quickly waved his hand.

"No, no! Brother Ying, you've misunderstood!"

"I was simply expressing my gratitude to the adults, and I absolutely meant nothing else!"

"Brother Ying, you'll always be the big brother, and I'm just the little brother, the little brother among little brothers!"

The shadowy figure looked at it suspiciously: "Really?"

"Really! Really real, even more real than pearls!" Shadowblade patted his chest, his face sincere.

"Brother Ying, your position in my heart is second only to the Lord! No, equal to the Lord! No, that's not quite right either..."

It got more and more incoherent as it spoke.

Seeing its embarrassed appearance, Youying couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Alright, alright, I was just kidding."

It jumped down from Chen Yuan's arms, walked to Ying Ren, and patted its head with its little paws.

"Follow the boss closely, and you'll get plenty of benefits in the future."

Shadowblade nodded in relief, "Yes, yes, Brother Shadow is right!"

Chen Tianling stood aside watching the two clowns, and couldn't help but shake his head, but a smile remained on his lips.

Chen Yi and the others laughed along, and the atmosphere in the backyard became much more relaxed.

Chen Yuan leaned against the tree trunk, watching this scene with a slight smile on his lips.

"Alright, get up, everyone."

He waved his hand.

Shadowblade quickly stood up and stepped aside, his excitement still lingering on his face.

Just then.

Chen Yuan's brows twitched slightly.

His divine sense detected the commotion outside the mansion gate; a group of people were approaching.

And none of them are ordinary people.

"Someone's here," Chen Yuan said calmly.

Chen Tianling immediately suppressed his smile and looked sharply toward the gate of the mansion.

Chen Yuan's divine sense swept over, and a smile appeared on his lips.

Zhou Chong, Director of the Defense Department; Lin Wei, Minister of General Affairs; Qin Yu, Minister of Foreign Affairs; Zhao Tieshan, Minister of Resources... all the high-ranking officials from the headquarters of the Dragon Martial Arts Division were present.

That makes sense.

It would be strange if they didn't come after making such a big commotion with their breakthrough.

Outside the mansion gate.

Lin Wei stood at the front, followed by Zhou Chong, Qin Yu, Zhao Tieshan, and other high-ranking members of the Dragon Martial Division.

Everyone's face was filled with barely concealed excitement.

"You guys are saying... that Chief Chen has really broken through to the Martial God realm?" Qin Yu asked in a low voice, his voice still carrying a hint of uncertainty.

"Nonsense!" Zhao Tieshan glared at him. "Were you blind? Didn't you see that golden light?"

"And those dozen or so extraordinary celestial phenomena—those are the kind of phenomena that only occur when a Martial Saint breaks through!"

"Overnight, one Martial God, twelve Martial Saints..."

Qin Yu swallowed.

"This is outrageous..."

Lin Wei didn't participate in their discussion. She just looked at the door in front of her, took a deep breath, and then gently knocked three times.

"Thump, thump, thump."

Footsteps came from inside the door.

The door slowly opened, and Zhao Wenyuan's figure appeared behind it.

"Minister Lin, Director Zhou, everyone."

Zhao Wenyuan bowed slightly, his tone neither humble nor arrogant.

"The gentleman knew you were coming and is already waiting in the backyard. Please follow me."

Lin Wei quickly returned the greeting: "Thank you for your trouble, Butler Zhao."

The group followed Zhao Wenyuan into the mansion.

The moment they stepped across the threshold, everyone stopped in their tracks at the same time.

"this......"

Zhou Chong's eyes widened and his lips trembled slightly.

That aura that flooded into the nasal cavity and seeped into the skin... it wasn't ordinary spiritual energy!

It's more concentrated, purer, and more comfortable than the spiritual energy from the outside world!

Every pore on my body is cheering!

"What kind of spiritual energy is this?"

Zhao Tieshan took a deep breath, his face full of rapture.

"In all my years, I've never felt such a rich spiritual energy!"

"No, this isn't spiritual energy..."

Lin Wei closed her eyes and carefully sensed it, her brows furrowing slightly.

"Spiritual energy doesn't feel like that; it's more like... some kind of higher-level existence."

Qin Yu didn't speak, but he slowed his pace.

It wasn't that he didn't want to leave, but that he couldn't bear to leave; he wanted to stay where he was and never leave.

Zhao Wenyuan walked ahead at a leisurely pace.

Noticing the strange behavior of the people behind him, he stopped and turned around, a slight smile on his lips.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this way please."

Lin Wei snapped out of her daze and quickly followed, but her doubts grew stronger.

Everyone knows that Chief Chen buried a top-grade spiritual vein beneath this mansion.

But the spiritual energy produced by a top-grade spiritual vein... shouldn't be this concentrated, right?

Moreover, the feeling of this aura is completely different from ordinary spiritual energy.

"Butler Zhao."

Lin Wei finally couldn't help but speak up.

"Excuse me for asking, but what's the deal with the spiritual energy within this manor?"

Zhao Wenyuan responded with a smile, his steps unwavering.

"Minister Lin has a good eye."

He paused.

His tone was calm, yet it conveyed a sense of profound mystery.

"The changes in spiritual energy within the mansion, besides the top-grade spiritual vein below, also stem from a tree planted by you, sir."

"As for what kind of tree it is... I'm not quite sure either."

"But ever since that tree was planted, the cultivation environment in the manor has improved day by day."

The admiration for Chen Yuan that shines through between the lines is impossible to hide.

Lin Wei nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

A tree? What kind of tree can make spiritual energy so concentrated?

She was filled with doubt, but she didn't ask any more questions.

......

come

Lin Wei raised her head.

His gaze passed over Zhao Wenyuan in front of him and landed in the center of the backyard.

Then her pupils suddenly contracted.

That was a tree.

A tree over three meters tall, with a thick trunk and a canopy.

Each leaf was lush and green, with a faint fluorescent glow on its surface, as if it were carved from jade.

The whole tree exudes an ancient, majestic, yet gentle and inclusive aura.

The "spiritual energy" that captivated them emanated from this tree!

"It's this tree..."

Lin Wei murmured to herself, her eyes filled with shock.

She could feel the energy emanating from the tree, which was far superior to spiritual energy!

The energy seeped into her body, causing even her soul to tremble slightly.

"What kind of tree is this...?"

Zhou Chong stood behind her, equally shocked.

Zhao Tieshan was speechless, his mouth agape.

He had worked in the resource department for so many years and had seen countless rare and precious materials, but he had never seen a tree like this before.

Let alone seeing each other.

I've never even heard of it!

But what shocked them even more was yet to come.

A figure sat cross-legged under the tree.

That subtle yet palpable pressure was felt by everyone present!

A true Martial God Realm!

Beside Chen Yuan were more than a dozen other figures.

Chen Tianling stood at the front, arms crossed, his gaze calm, and the aura emanating from him was several times stronger than before.

Mid-stage Martial Saint.

Chen Yi and Chen Shi stood on either side, ten people, ten holy mights.

Although they were only at the early stage of Martial Saint, the oppressive feeling of ten people standing together was no less than that of a late stage Martial Saint!

The shadow shrank to the size of a large, dark purple dog, and squatted at Chen Yuan's feet, its tail held high.

Shadow Blade stood at the very back of the group, keeping a low profile like a transparent person, but his aura as a mid-stage ninth-tier cultivator was equally undeniable.

Lin Wei took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down, but her heart was still pounding.

One Martial God, one mid-stage Martial Saint, ten early-stage Martial Saints, one mid-stage ninth-tier Sacred Beast, plus a mid-stage ninth-tier alien...

This power is invincible on the entire planet Earth!

And at this moment, they are all concentrated in this mansion on Longyuan Mountain!

"Chief Chen."

Lin Wei stepped forward, clasped her hands in a respectful greeting, her voice filled with barely concealed excitement.

"Congratulations to Chief Chen on breaking through to Martial God!"

Behind him, Zhou Chong, Qin Yu, Zhao Tieshan, and others clasped their hands in a fist salute.

"Congratulations to Chief Chen on breaking through to Martial God!"

Chen Yuan opened her eyes, glanced at them, and a smile appeared on her lips.

"No need for such formalities."

Although the unique pressure of the Martial God Realm was subdued.

But the composure that inadvertently slipped out in his tone instilled a sense of awe in everyone present.

Lin Wei straightened up and turned her gaze to Chen Tianling and the others.

"Congratulations to Commander Chen and all the Holy Dragon Guards on breaking through to Martial Saint!"

Chen Tianling returned the greeting with clasped hands: "Thank you, Minister Lin."

Chen Yi and the others clasped their hands in greeting, their faces beaming with smiles.

"Chief Chen."

Lin Wei suppressed her excitement.

"All the high-ranking officials stationed at the Dragon Martial Division headquarters have come today to congratulate Division Chief Chen on his breakthrough to Martial God."

"Master Chen's extraordinary talent is a blessing to our Great Xia Kingdom and to the human race of Blue Star!"

Chen Yuan waved his hand casually.

"Alright, stop with the fluff."

He glanced at the crowd, a smile playing on his lips.

"Since you're here, sit down and have a cup of tea."

Zhao Wenyuan had already prepared tea, and upon hearing this, he immediately brought it over.

Lin Wei and the others didn't stand on ceremony and took their seats.

But their minds weren't on the tea at all; with each sip, they would take a deep breath of the surrounding air.

The energy emanating from the World Origin Tree made them reluctant to leave.

It took me a full ten minutes to finish that cup of tea.

Chen Yuan chuckled inwardly as he watched their reluctant farewell.

"Minister Lin."

He put down his teacup.

"Aren't you all curious about the aura emanating from this mansion?"

Lin Wei's eyes lit up and she nodded quickly.

"Master Chen, you are wise to say that I have never felt this kind of energy before."

"It's more concentrated and purer than spiritual energy, and... it's also beneficial to the soul."

She paused, then asked tentatively.

"What...treasure is this?"

Chen Yuan smiled and didn't keep her in suspense.

"The power of the world's origin, one of the three supreme treasures needed to break through to the Martial God realm."

The room fell silent after he finished speaking.

Lin Wei nearly dropped the teacup in her hand.

"What... this is the power of the world's origin?!"

To break through to the Martial God realm, three things are needed.

A physical body at the ninth-order limit, a divine soul at the ninth-order limit, and sufficient world origin power.

The fundamental power of the world does not exist on Earth!

But now...

Master Chen told them that the aura permeating this mansion was the power of the world's origin.

And it's this concentrated?

Seeing the astonished reactions of everyone, Chen Yuan's smile deepened.

His gaze swept over everyone present.

"From this day forward, the power of the world's origin is no longer something that doesn't exist on Earth."

Lin Wei was stunned.

She seemed to understand Chen Yuan's meaning, yet she also seemed not to.

"Chief Chen, do you mean...?"

Chen Yuan stood up and walked to the World Origin Tree, raising his hand to touch the trunk.

The emerald green leaves swayed gently, as if in response to him.

"Now that I have broken through to the Martial God Realm, it's time to expand the range of this tree's power."

He turned to look at Lin Wei, mainly because it didn't affect him much.

Upon hearing this, Lin Wei's breathing suddenly became rapid.

Expand the scope?

Doesn't that mean... the entire Longyuan Mountain, and even the entire Luodu City, will be able to enjoy the nourishment of the world's primordial power in the future?

Wouldn't the cultivation speed of martial artists within this area skyrocket?!
