Chapter 1463: Chapter 274: The Martial Saint Strikes, Shaking the Eastern Sea!

The next day.

Outside the National Master Mansion.

"Dongling Marquis, please stop here!" Xiang Yuan said cheerfully.

"Martial King, Master Xiao, I will surely welcome you properly when I have time in the future!" Jiang Ning said.

"Dongling Marquis, you’re too kind!" Xiao Wuque said with a faint smile.

After that, the two of them walked in the snow, slowly heading into the distance.

"Junior Brother, I didn’t expect that our teacher would value him so much, that he would make a move again because of him." Martial King Xiang Yuan walked side by side with Xiao Wuque.

With his broad and tall body, Xiao Wuque appeared thin and weak, like a common frail scholar.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wuque slowly shook his head: "Brother Xiang, you might have misunderstood our teacher’s intentions."

"What do you mean, Junior Brother Xiao?" Martial King Xiang Yuan asked.

"While our teacher’s actions do show he values him, there is also a purpose to intimidate the world! Our teacher hasn’t made a move in such a long time, so long that many have almost forgotten his former divine might! Xuan Yuan Blessed Land is just a blessed land, which makes it the perfect target!" Xiao Wuque explained.

"So, Junior Brother Xiao, you mean the teacher supporting Dongling Marquis is just fortuitous?" Martial King Xiang Yuan asked.

Hearing this, Xiao Wuque faintly smiled: "Senior Brother Xiang, you are quite eloquent now!"

Xiang Yuan burst into laughter upon hearing Xiao Wuque’s jest.

Bam bam—

He then heavily patted Xiao Wuque’s shoulder twice, causing Xiao Wuque to stagger, and the ground beneath to tremble slightly.

The force was evenly distributed across the ground beneath.

"By the way, Junior Brother Xiao, have you noticed any changes in this Dongling Marquis?" Martial King Xiang Yuan asked.

"What changes?" Xiao Wuque’s eyes narrowed slightly.

"His eyes are exceedingly bright!" Martial King Xiang Yuan said.

Upon hearing this, a hint of contemplation appeared in Xiao Wuque’s eyes.

He then slowly nodded: "Now that you mention it, it is indeed so!"

Then, Xiao Wuque continued: "His progress may be even faster than most people imagine!"

Martial King Xiang Yuan nodded in agreement: "The radiance in his eyes indicates that his progress has been rapid during this period, his spirit has grown much stronger! However, this also makes it more challenging for him to find a balance among his essence, qi, and spirit."

Xiao Wuque nodded: "The stronger the spirit, the stronger the essence and qi required. Only when all three reach an equal level of strength can he find a balance and step into the First Grade Mixed Element Realm. Currently, the extraordinary light in his eyes implies his spirit is exceptionally strong, but to bring his essence and qi to the same strength will take some effort."

Martial King Xiang Yuan said: "But this also indicates that the Dongling Marquis’s foundation is deeper, and his strength will be even greater once he steps into the First Grade."

Xiao Wuque nodded: "There are both pros and cons! Currently, he doesn’t have much time, and such imbalance ultimately results in more cons than pros!"

"It all depends on his fortune!" Martial King Xiang Yuan said.

"Indeed!" Xiao Wuque nodded slightly.

...

On the other side.

"After seeing off Xiao Wuque and Xiang Yuan, I can finally focus on my cultivation!" Jiang Ning thought to himself.

He was also aware that upon returning to the Royal Capital, news of his return would spread within a few days.

After all, the guards at the city gate witnessed his return.

And not long ago, the Martial Saint went out, destroyed Xuan Yuan Blessed Land, shaking the world.

Any Grandmaster above Second Grade, their spirit resonates with heaven and earth.

At that moment, they all saw the Martial Saint’s journey and knew it was initiated because of him.

Just that alone, he knew that there were many in the Royal Capital eager to meet him.

He had also instructed the two maids of the National Master Mansion, Qinghe and Hong Mian, to decline visitors as much as possible.

Only notify him of those who are genuinely difficult to refuse.

And today’s joint visit by Xiao Wuque and Martial King Xiang Yuan was such that it was difficult to decline.

As these thoughts flashed through his mind, he then took out a bottle of Dragon Hibernation Spiritual Liquid, absorbed it into his body, and continued to enter the state of cultivation.

...

In the blink of an eye.

Two days passed.

"Marquis, a prince has come to visit!" Hong Mian approached Jiang Ning.

At the moment, the heavy snow fell on Hong Mian like cotton.

Compared to Qinghe’s style of dressing, Hong Mian preferred red.

Her red robe stood out like a flame in the snow.

"Which prince is that?" Jiang Ning asked.

"Divine Might King!" Hong Mian said.

"Divine Might King?" Jiang Ning murmured, and as thoughts flashed through his mind, he suddenly realized.

Divine Might King Li Tianwen is the senior of both Xiao Wuque and Martial King Xiang Yuan.

Also one of the top-tier strongmen in Great Xia today.

In terms of strength, both Xiao Wuque and Xiang Yuan are likely not his equal.

"Marquis, should I let him in?" Hong Mian asked.

Jiang Ning nodded: "Let’s meet him!"

"Then I will bring Divine Might King to see you, Marquis!" Hong Mian said.

"Bring him to the front hall!" Jiang Ning said.

Upon saying so, his figure moved and he disappeared without a trace.

When he appeared again, it was in front of the guest hall.

His gaze fell upon the void in front of him, on the panel that appeared before him.

[Skill]: Lingtai Dongzhao Zhenwo method (Great Success 9749/10000)

"Only about two hundred points left in progress! Just in time for a break, then I’ll push through to complete the breakthrough and perfect the Lingtai Dongzhao Zhenwo method!"

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but feel a bit relieved.

With the assistance of cultivation resources, the progress on cultivating the Lingtai Dongzhao Zhenwo method had increased more than threefold.

Also, he discovered that continuously absorbing Dragon Hibernation Spiritual Liquid made his cultivation time in the Inner Realm more enduring.

From this aspect, it also brought an increase in efficiency.

This has led to rapid progress within just a few days, and the cultivation technique is now just a step away from perfection.

Given his unique ability, there are no bottlenecks when breaking through in cultivation techniques and skills.
