Chapter 836 - 283: Divine Treasure
Deep winter has arrived.
The cold wind whistles.
Even in the Martial Realm, the four seasons change as always.
Yet, the trees, flowers, and grass in the mountains benefit from the rich spiritual energy, which makes them far superior to ordinary foliage.
Even in deep winter, despite the severe weather, the landscape remains lush and vibrant.
Since returning from the library, Lin Zheyu hasn’t gone out.
Though the Martial Realm is the Martial Artists’ territory, primarily focused on martial arts, it also resembles an Immortal Realm, with no shortage of talismans, arrays, and restrictions.
The courtyard where Lin Zheyu resides is guarded by an array, providing him a profound sense of security.
If not for needing to vie for the position of deputy hall master to enhance his authority and exchange for advanced cultivation techniques and books, he felt he could stay in isolation here for years.
"If I hide in the Martial Realm, that old man from Lingyun Pavilion probably can’t do anything to me, can he?"
Lin Zheyu muttered to himself.
However, if that were the case, he would be effectively offending the other party.
In the future, if he went out, he would need to be cautious.
Until he removes the mark Fan Hongwei left on him, or surpasses his strength, Lin Zheyu can only endure temporarily.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~~
A gentle breeze blew, and the fragrant scent of flowers spread.
Lin Zheyu sat cross-legged in the courtyard, his expression peaceful.
The Qi Blood True Essence within him surged, verifying the martial knowledge he learned from the "Path to Immortal Martial Tao."
The martial path Lin Zheyu cultivated deviated from traditional martial arts after the Grandmaster Realm.
Yet, the "Path to Immortal Martial Tao" still provided significant help, assisting Lin Zheyu in realigning his future martial path.
As the night deepened, Lin Zheyu still sat cross-legged, unmoving.
His aura slowly diminished, and the Qi Blood inside his body began to surge, with the True Essence in his meridians swiftly decomposing under Lin Zheyu’s control.
Stripping away the martial intent, Qi Blood, and essence, returning to the origin.
Qi Blood is the foundation of the Martial Dao.
As his strength increases, the True Essence in Lin Zheyu’s body offers diminishing returns.
Even if the True Essence is completely decomposed into Qi Blood, essence, and true intent, it does not significantly affect his strength.
Rumble~~~
The massive golden Qi Blood, thick and viscous, flowed quickly through his veins, emitting terrifying noises.
Under Lin Zheyu’s control, the Qi Blood surged toward the apertures representing essence, Qi, and spirit in his body, mysteriously vanishing.
As he previously suspected, before opening the Divine Treasure, it must be nurtured first.
Yet, he had previously been unable to find a nurturing method, now through the explanations in "Path to Immortal Martial Tao," he explored a feasible nurturing method.
The sky gradually brightened.
There is also day and night in the Martial Realm, with a hint of golden sunlight appearing on the horizon, obliquely casting on Lin Zheyu’s face.
Lin Zheyu’s eyelids fluttered as he slowly opened his eyes.
He exhaled a long turbid breath, which carried a rich bloody scent mixed with a black impurity.
These were the ’impurities’ refined from the Divine Treasure through nurturing with Qi Blood.
"Just after one night, I feel my physique has strengthened a bit."
"Truly incredible!"
Lin Zheyu carefully perceived, murmuring softly.
He hadn’t felt such a noticeable enhancement in his physique for a long time.
This enhancement was an intrinsic improvement, not one gained under the augmentation of golden runes and the Golden Body Dharma Aspect.
Lin Zheyu stood up, sat at a nearby stone table, and began reading the cultivation techniques he had purchased from the library with interest.
These techniques were the main cultivation skills of many top martial sect forces, and even with his current strength, they could still provide him with some inspiration.
Time passed slowly.
Lin Zheyu’s calm and monotonous cultivation life was interrupted in less than two days.
The next day.
In the afternoon.
Outside Flame Martial City.
In the wild hills and forests more than twenty kilometers southwest.
Bang!
A terrifying roar was heard.
Two figures clashed in the sky, moving at extreme speed.
A terrifying fluctuation of Qi Blood erupted from Qiu Kun’s body, with traces of scarlet breath permeating out, each punch creating ripples of blood color.
In contrast, Lin Zheyu opposite him emitted no strong fluctuations.
Lin Zheyu’s expression was composed, appearing at ease in the face of Qiu Kun’s frenzied attacks like a violent storm.
Bam!
Lin Zheyu caught Qiu Kun’s punching wrist with his left hand, lightly pulling backward, then fiercely punched Qiu Kun’s chest with his right.
Poof—
Qiu Kun flew backward, his powerful Qi Blood flow within brought to a halt by Lin Zheyu’s punch, causing him to spit it out.
"That’s powerful!"
"Again!"
Qiu Kun wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes filled with endless fighting spirit.
It had been a long time since he encountered such a strong opponent, so strong that he felt no hope of victory, which was simply unbelievable.
Even when facing Gu Yidao, the first genius of the Martial Alliance, he had never felt this.
Here we go—
Qiu Kun kicked the ground fiercely, his fighting spirit reaching its peak, becoming even more terrifying, his whole person shooting toward Lin Zheyu like a cannonball.
"Mr. Xiao’s strength is really formidable!"
Zong Linjing stood proudly in the void, watching the two collide again and couldn’t help but praise.
Even in the Martial Alliance, she was a noted genius, but compared to Mr. Xiao, Zong Linjing felt ashamed of the title of genius.
"This is just the beginning."
"When Mr. Xiao was in the Demon God Barrier, he already revealed some Power of Rules. After comprehending the rule fragments, the Power of Rules he mastered must be even more terrifying."
