Chapter 361: Chapter 80: The First Martial God in Human History! (Double Length)

The entire Blue Star is merely a slaughterhouse where demon beasts rear humans.

For Lin Chen, this is undoubtedly a tremendous shakeup of his worldview.

The worldview built over decades seemed to crumble and overturn in an instant.

As if the whole world had fallen into an illusion...

Lin Chen glanced at Wang Lishan, who also smiled wryly and said:

"If you find it hard to believe, I only just learned of this myself..."

Elder Lv glanced at him and said:

"Actually, little Wang shouldn’t have the qualification to know this. Only those above Martial King, after entering the Third Martial Realm, have the right to know..."

"However..."

Elder Lv looked at Lin Chen and said no more.

It was clear that cultivation’s impact on the Great Xia and the entire human race was growing more immense.

So much so, that Wang Lishan’s position in the Great Xia power circle was rising, allowing him to know such vital matters.

Lin Chen pondered for a moment and eventually asked:

"So, to break the barrier wrapped around Blue Star... we can only expel or kill the demon beasts?"

Elder Lv was yet to answer when Max interjected:

"If we don’t kill the demon beasts... the barrier won’t dissipate, that is without doubt!"

"Unless, a being surpassing Martial God emerges among the human race!"

Lin Chen looked at Elder Lv, who sighed:

"Three hundred years ago, ten of the strongest human warriors united and broke the shackles of the First Martial Realm, touching the invisible barrier outside Blue Star."

"Yet, no message returned..."

"Those ten strongest seemed to have vanished completely. Among them, there was even the strongest martial artist in human history..."

"...a Martial God-level warrior!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen was shocked.

A Martial God!

The human race actually gave birth to a Martial God-level warrior!

Even a Martial Emperor like Elder Lv, already comparable to Divinity Transformation Peak.

Is an existence Lin Chen can’t fathom at all...

How strong would a Martial God be?

And even such a powerful Martial God... couldn’t break through that barrier, not even a message returned?

Elder Lv looked at Lin Chen and sighed:

"From you, I see the shadow of that person."

"No, you’re even more dazzling than he was at that time, possessing even greater potential!"

"Maybe, you truly can lead the human race in breaking that barrier..."

"That might require strength surpassing a Martial God."

After hearing this, Lin Chen remained silent.

He was still far away from the Martial God Realm.

Having just stepped into Martial King-tier, Lin Chen didn’t have too many thoughts.

He just wanted to survive well in the cultivation realm and become stronger.

As for how strong to be...

At that moment, Lin Chen seemed to have an answer in his heart.

...

Qing State, Tunnel City.

Lin Chen walked out of the temporary residence and headed to the marketplace.

At this moment, the sky was just getting light, with few pedestrians and cultivators on the road.

Quite a few groups of three or five cultivators exited places of pleasure, intoxicated and supporting each other back to their residences.

Occasionally, diligent cultivators set up small stalls by the roadside.

"Daoist friend, freshly baked lotus leaf pancakes, would you like to buy two?"

A vendor pushing a cart passed by Lin Chen.

Qi Refining Cultivators are not yet able to avoid grains, thus many cultivator vendors in the city sell spiritual food for cultivation purposes.

Lin Chen was about to refuse, but the vendor directly wrapped two pancakes and handed them to him.

In the moment Lin Chen was dazed, the vendor pushed the small cart away.

All the way shouting: "Freshly baked lotus leaf pancakes, invigorating and nourishing, excellent taste."

"Hm? I haven’t paid yet!"

Lin Chen blinked, about to catch up, but suddenly felt something hard wrapped inside the lotus leaf pancake he was holding.

He gave a quick glance and saw a Jade Scroll.

Lin Chen’s expression changed slightly and returned to the temporary residence.

Closing the door, Lin Chen took out the Jade Scroll for careful observation.

This Jade Scroll had intricate patterns engraved, seeming somewhat familiar.

"Hm... is it a message from Junior Sister Jiang?"

Suddenly thinking of something, Lin Chen took out the Mother-Child Sound Transmission Jade.

The patterns on the Sound Transmission Jade were similar to those on the Sound Recording Jade Scroll.

Between cultivators, Sound Transmission Jades are commonly used, with special engravings to identify identities.

"So, what message did Junior Sister Jiang leave?"

Curious, Lin Chen infused his Divine Sense into the Jade Scroll.

The next instant, Jiang Liqian’s voice came through.

"Senior Brother Lin, it’s been years, how have you been lately?"

"I heard you left the Changchun Sect, intending to travel to Wenda City, thus eluded the vortex of the Demon Path. Let me congratulate you once more."

"I am currently residing in Celestial Dao City, also planning to go to Wenda City. If you come to Celestial Dao City this year, let’s meet and travel to Wenda City together..."

"I am currently staying at..."

Lin Chen finished listening to the contents of the Sound Recording Jade Scroll.

After confirming no secret code was left, only a simple greeting, Lin Chen pondered.

"It’s been years since parting with Junior Sister Jiang..."

"After she left Changchun Sect, she must’ve been traveling through Qing State... But this contact might be more than just a long-awaited greeting."

"Otherwise, she wouldn’t have used hidden means of messaging..."

Lin Chen thought silently.

During his over twenty years of cultivation, Lin Chen owed several significant favors to Jiang Liqian.

He never had the chance to repay them...

Perhaps now is the time to return such favors.

Thinking this, Lin Chen smiled wryly.

"In the world of cultivation, debts must be repaid sooner or later!"

"If possible, of course I hope to survive quietly until eternity... But evidently, that’s unrealistic."

Lin Chen shook his head.

Fortunately, after the Martial Arts Realm advanced to Martial King, Lin Chen gained more power to protect himself.

At least among mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, Lin Chen rarely has adversaries.
