High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late-Chapter 387 - 311: Half-Step Saint Realm, the Number One Martial Artist Under the Heavens!

Chapter 387: Chapter 311: Half-Step Saint Realm, the Number One Martial Artist Under the Heavens!

Su Mu once again attempted to scan the black smoke before him with his Spiritual Power.

In an instant, the black smoke, like a black hole, absorbed his Spiritual Power within.

Then, through the black smoke, he saw a world very similar to a dream world, with rolling black smoke spreading, this time seeing further than the lurking black smoke in the Celestial Cloud Phenomenon Map.

This time, he faintly sensed at the end of the black smoke, a massively unknown entity that seemed to be asleep.

"What lies at the end of the black smoke?"

The next second.

The world of black smoke shattered.

Su Mu detached from the probe and noticed that the black smoke invading his body had grown even more.

"It seems to... grow by devouring Spiritual Power?"

Su Mu’s eyes narrowed, forming an initial guess, and he had a sudden realization.

The Dream Shadow had imparted the Crystal Visualization Technique to him and constantly reminded him to strengthen quickly and enhance his Spiritual Power. Now, he realized it must be related to the black smoke.

"The black smoke possesses the terrifying ability to devour Spiritual Power, but everything in the world has its counter, and it can also be restrained by Spiritual Power."

"The two are like water and fire..."

"There’s no definite strong or weak; fire, when strongest, can boil oceans and rivers."

Su Mu raised his hand, transforming his Spiritual Power into chains to firmly lock the black smoke, reinforcing them, as he murmured.

"But why has that shadow vanished this time..."

Su Mu fell into contemplation, growing more heavy-hearted the more he thought.

The disappearance of the shadow must be linked to the black smoke.

And could the dream world have always been the world of black smoke, only obscured by his initially weak Spiritual Power?

This feeling sent a shiver down Su Mu’s spine.

"What you see may not always be true; only the path you tread beneath your feet is real, so please stick to your path..."

At that moment, the words of the Dream Shadow resurfaced in his mind.

Su Mu shivered all over.

Initially, he thought the Dream Shadow was hinting at his martial saint path in this world, but it was not entirely so.

"What exactly are you trying to tell me?"

"Will you appear again?"

Quickly, Su Mu furrowed his brows and stopped his deep thought, as it was meaningless. Despite his increased strength, his understanding of the black smoke and the dream world was still too scant.

This realization made him uneasy.

"But actually, it’s not that there are no channels to glimpse..."

Su Mu immediately thought of the Book of Destiny; he had speculations about it, one of which was that the Book of Destiny progresses based on the current time node.

That is, taking his current state as a base point for deduction.

Now that he suspected his sudden death was related to the black smoke, perhaps the trajectory of his fate in the Book of Destiny would change, revealing more future information.

"Let’s give it a try."

Countless figures appeared, and with a thought, Su Mu chose himself.

The path began to propel Su Mu forward continuously, with everything around him distorting and becoming elusive, until a flamboyantly colorful, ever-changing Book of Destiny materialized.

Su Mu’s name slowly surfaced on the cover of the book.

Then the Book of Destiny opened.

This time, the figure in the personal information that appeared in the void changed; the youthful and vigorous visage now had graying temples.

In those deep eyes, the urgency had intensified, as if they had experienced something.

Belonging to his Book of Destiny, it flipped.

[Name: Su Mu] 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

[Gender: Male]

[Lifespan: Martial Dao Civilization February 1010 — Martial Dao Civilization December 1057]

[Martial Dao: Half-Step Saint Realm Grandmaster]

Upon seeing his lifespan, Su Mu comprehended, his eyes glowing.

"Indeed, it changed."

Su Mu did not feel much joy; although his fate altered, extending his lifespan by ten more years, it was not quite normal for a Martial Artist of his prowess.

As he continued to look down the page, his strength also changed.

Originally a King Sealing Realm Grandmaster, he became a Half-Step Saint Realm Grandmaster.

"Fifth Forging Title, Seventh Forging is King Sealing, should Half-Step Saint Realm be Eighth Forging?"

"In ten years, did my strength only increase by one forging?"

Su Mu furrowed his brow, waiting for the follow-up in the Book of Destiny.

[Life Experience: Peerless talent, pioneering new martial arts, surpassing Human Great Sage...]

[At Sixth Level Apprentice, punched to death eleven out of eighteen Blade Innates under the Overlord Blade Martial Saint Sect, Fourth Forging Grandmaster Jing He, and then with a blade of destructive prototype, reverse-slashed the Martial Saint Illusion of Overlord Blade...]

[At thirty-three, completed Bone Tempering three times at the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pool, perfecting his foundation, seamlessly integrating the Cyan Lotus Martial Seed, Formless Three Flowers, and Three Flowers of the Sage to break into Grandmaster...]

[At thirty-five, advanced to Fifth Forging Title Grandmaster, entered the Great Northwest Desert, reverse-slashed the Overlord Blade Martial Saint in the Great Desert, critically injured...]

Glancing over, Su Mu quickly noticed that his life record in the Book of Destiny had changed.

No longer the second Human Great Sage, but instead transformed into a peerless talent, pioneering new martial arts, surpassing the Human Great Sage.

This time, the Sima Family was not substantial enough to mark his life story.

Furthermore, this time he killed the Overlord Blade Martial Saint a year earlier, and from originally reverse-slaying the Martial Saint at Half-Step King Realm to Fifth Forging Title.

It meant he was much stronger in this life.

But why did he still get only ten years more than the previous life?

[At thirty-six, Golden Body at Seventh Forging broke into King Realm, ascended Peach Mountain, conversed on martial arts with Qingfeng Martial Saint, and won...]

[At forty, Golden Body advanced to Eighth Forging, broke into Half-Step Saint Realm...]

[Thereafter traveled Huaxia, defeated all Seven Martial Saints of Huaxia, then left Huaxia undefeated...]

[Three months later, entered the Sword Abyss alone, perished...]

[Su Mu, peerless talent, matured late, pioneered new martial arts, hailed as the strongest surpassing the Human Great Sage, pioneer across the ages...]

[Respected in later generations as --------- the Supreme Martial Artist beneath the Sky!]

...

No longer being the first of the new generation in martial arts millennium, but the Supreme Martial Artist beneath the Sky!

At the same time, also hailed as the strongest surpassing the Human Great Sage, pioneer across the ages!

This time, the Book of Destiny gave Su Mu even higher appraisal.

"Such fate change is not solely due to my strength enhancement... perhaps it’s also because of the Cultivation Technique I imparted to Miaomiao and Xiaoyue."

"So it seems the fate change indeed relates to what I currently do and perceive."

Su Mu fixed his gaze on the line of his end, still dying three months later, but this time differently; finally, the cause of his demise appeared, though the cause took him by surprise.

It turned out not to be because of the black smoke...

"Sword Abyss?"

Su Mu’s initial thought was how he would venture into the Sword Abyss, as he had no knowledge of such a place, contradicting his hypothesis, for it was beyond his understanding.

But the next second.

Su Mu’s eyes flickered.

"No, this actually falls within my understanding..."

"At the foot of Celestial Cloud Mountain, Ximen Gu from Sword Pavilion lastly gave me a Sword Order, it might be related to that."

"This time, being able to see the cause of death should relate to my increased strength."

As Su Mu’s thoughts rapidly turned, the Book of Destiny did not halt, continually flipping to its last page.
