I'm a body cultivator, so it's normal for me to destroy a star with one punch, right?

Chapter 299 Heading to the Central Region!

The saints quickly shifted their gaze away from Jianghe.

After all, for them, the sword comprehension of the "Celestial Phenomenon Realm" was really not worth mentioning.

The huge "crack" in front of us was cleaved out by a Saint Realm sword cultivator with a single sword strike. It contains extremely powerful sword intent and sword energy, so it is normal for it to bring some insights to a "sword cultivator".

"Who exactly did this?"

"Our Eastern Region actually has a Saint Realm expert hidden away?"

A demon race demigod's eyes flickered as he spoke, "It seems that only the Holy King has become a saint in the Eastern Region over the past thousand years, and the Holy King also attained sainthood through the Dao of the Sword. Could it be that the Holy King was behind this?"

This conjecture was endorsed by many semi-saints.

Lin Feng, dressed in a blue robe, glanced at Chen Ze, then stepped forward and entered the "sword energy rift" to examine it carefully. He then shook his head and said, "This is not my master's swordsmanship."

"Moreover, my master was summoned to the Central Region Imperial City by the Realm Emperor more than twenty years ago..."

Speaking of which.

Lin Feng paused slightly, his gaze sweeping over the powerful figures from various prefectures and kingdoms.

The experts from the Northern Mountain County and other counties shifted their gazes slightly, a hint of astonishment flashing in their eyes. Some even nodded secretly, as if they had "already expected it."

In fact, this situation has been encountered by various prefectures and kingdoms in the Eastern Region, and even by major sects and forces.

Martial artists at the Fish-Dragon Realm can live for a thousand years.

Half-saints have even longer lifespans!
Leaving aside the small counties and kingdoms in the Eastern Region, let's take these "thirty-six counties" as an example. Some of these counties and kingdoms may have indeed only had one half-saint in the past thousand years, but most of them have produced two, three, or even more half-saints!

However, once a second half-saint is born in these counties and kingdoms, the first half-saint will be summoned to the Central Region by the "World Emperor".

For example, among the top-ranking counties in the "Thirty-Six Counties" such as Beishan County, Dongshan County, and Qingshan County, more than four semi-saints have been born in the past thousand years, but only the current three "rulers" remain in the Eastern Region.

This is also true for some top powers and sects.

In the Eastern Region, those who wish to establish a sect must register in the "Holy King City" and obtain approval from the imperial court of the Central Region before a decree will be issued. Otherwise, they are considered heretical and the army of the Holy King City has every reason to crush them at any time.

Therefore, in the Kunlun Realm, all sects are subject to the control of the imperial court.

without any exaggeration.

The "Imperial Court" of the Kunlun Realm wields immense power, but the Kunlun Realm is vast, with countless beings, powerful individuals, and forces within just the Central Region!
In addition, the four regions of East, South, West, and North are far from the emperor's reach, which is why that "Realm Emperor" came up with this method to weaken the power of the major forces in each region!
The reason that "Realm Emperor" summoned the Eastern Region Saint King was simply because the Eastern Region Saint King had broken through to the "Saint Realm".

Moreover, he was born in "Tianmen Pass".

I'm afraid he'll "lose control".

"Perhaps it's some powerful figure hidden in the Eastern Region."

Qin Jiuzhou said, "As far as I know, some powerful figures survived the battle back then. Perhaps a reclusive expert discovered the Golden Crow Clan's half-saint and then killed him with his sword."

Since it's not the "Eastern Region Holy King," then there's only one possibility!
Now that the three alien race half-saints, Silver Gu, Blood Rainbow, and Crow Cry, are dead, the biggest threat to the Eastern Region Holy King's Mansion has finally been resolved. Chen Ze is all smiles and invites the saints back to the mansion for another chat and to watch the [Sword Dao Tournament] together.

However, more than half of the demigods made various excuses and left immediately.

Before his death, the Blood Rainbow Half-Saint of the Blood Clan revealed his identity: they were all "Inspectors" of the puppet emperor of the Central Region Imperial City.

Now that the three "inspectors" are dead, the court might punish the Eastern Region Holy King's Mansion at any time!

Most of the former rulers of these counties and kingdoms have been summoned to serve in the imperial court, so they naturally dare not show too much closeness to Chen Ze, the Holy Son.

They watched as one by one, the demigods departed.

Qin Jiuzhou turned to look at the Prince of Beishan and asked with a smile, "Why hasn't the Prince of Beishan left?"

The Prince of Beishan glared and said, "Those guys have already exhausted all their excuses, so what excuse do I have to leave? Besides, I also contributed to killing those two alien races. Even if I don't get any of the benefits, surely His Highness won't refuse me a drink?"

He was the ruler and prince of Beishan Commandery.

It's normal for him to refer to himself as "this king".

His participation in killing the two alien "inspectors," Blood Rainbow Half-Saint and Crow Cry Half-Saint, was actually a statement of his position.

And at this time.

Jiang He, who had been in a state of "enlightenment," was just waking up.

His sword intent grew even sharper, and he murmured, "This sword intent... why does it feel so familiar?"

Upon seeing Jiang He awaken, Chen Ze quickly approached him, his gaze shifting slightly as he asked, "Brother Jiang, have you perhaps witnessed such sword intent before?"

Jiang He nodded and said, "This sword intent is similar to the sword intent of your father that I beat up on the ninth floor of the Trial Tower... but it is more fierce and the killing intent within it is too strong."

He got up.

He took two steps forward and came to the huge "sword energy rift" to observe it more closely. But as soon as he observed it, his inspiration erupted like a volcano, and a mysterious aura rose around him. As the sword intent filled the air, he closed his eyes again and entered a state of enlightenment.

"........."

At this moment, only Qin Jiuzhou, Chen Zeshengzi, Lin Feng, and the thirteen ancient powerhouses of Great Xia remained present. Upon seeing this scene, everyone except Qin Jiuzhou was dumbfounded.

"hiss!"

Especially the Burial Sky Lion.

He gasped sharply, exclaiming, "It seems Brother Jianghe's swordsmanship talent is even more extraordinary than I imagined... consecutive moments of enlightenment, I've never heard of such a thing before!"

far away.

Hundreds of miles away.

Seeing this, the red-clad female ghost couldn't help but marvel, saying, "Your Great Xia is truly peculiar... It's just a life-bearing planet, not even a small world, yet it can nurture one monstrous genius after another."

"You, and those guys who are on par with you, are already monstrous enough. They would be rare in thousands of years in any great world, possessing the potential of a Great Sage. Not to mention that your Great Xia also has figures like Wang Wu, Qin Jiuzhou, and Gao Zhankui, as well as Chen Jingzhou, Xiahou Wu, and others who are also exceptionally talented."

The woman in red couldn't help but sigh, saying, "All of you have the potential to become great saints, but you are far inferior to Jiang He... If I remember correctly, that boy was also present when we first met!"

"His cultivation level wasn't as high as yours back then, was it?"

Xu Rulai nodded and said, "When I first met Benefactor Jiang, his cultivation was indeed on par with mine. However, I later had some opportunities in Buddhism and my cultivation briefly surpassed his for a period of time."

At this point, Xu Rulai couldn't help but sigh.

He sighed, "In just five months, he has already reached the level of a Saint-slaying warrior... The gap in strength between him and me is widening."

The female ghost's red dress draped over Xu Rulai, and she chuckled, "Good brother, don't be impatient. Once your strength recovers a bit more, you can rebuild your flesh and blood body. Then I will teach you the Buddhist Joyful Zen and practice dual cultivation with you, and you will be able to fly."

She grabbed Xu Rulai and disappeared from the spot.

…………

Another 30 minutes passed.

Jiang He slowly opened his eyes, his sword intent growing even stronger.

Chen Ze leaned closer and asked, "Brother Jiang, how are you feeling?" Jiang He spread two fingers and suddenly poked them into his eyes.

puff!

Both eyeballs burst open, blood splattering from their sockets and splashing all over Chen Ze's face. Chen Ze exclaimed in shock, "Brother Jiang, what are you doing?"

Jiang He said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to resist continuing to look at that Sword Qi Canyon... I don't know why, but as soon as I look at it, I feel my own sword intent tremble, and I will involuntarily have an epiphany. If this goes on for a long time, won't I have to keep having epiphanies here? How can I cultivate?"

He turned around.

They quickly ran forward for dozens of miles.

The shattered eyeball has gradually recovered.

Even the power of the "Sacred Source" within Jiang He's body has not been activated... Jiang He's current recovery ability has reached an exaggerated level; he can recover from this level of injury in no time.

Then everyone returned to the Holy King's Palace.

Even though the aftershocks of the battle were protected by powerful figures like Qin Jiuzhou and Chen Ze, the central area of ​​the Holy King's Mansion was still reduced to ruins. The alien experts in the Black Armor Army had been eliminated, while the rest knelt down and begged for mercy. Their cultivation was temporarily sealed, and they were imprisoned in the Holy King's Mansion's Heavenly Prison.

The Crimson Blood Army sprang into action, tasked with taking stock of the casualties and repairing the Holy King's Palace.

Chen Ze ordered a banquet to be prepared and treated Qin Jiuzhou, the Prince of Beishan, and other powerful figures to a good meal.

After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, the Prince of Beishan finally departed.

Thirteen ancient powerhouses from the Great Xia Dynasty, including Zangtian Shi, did not leave, but Qin Jiuzhou stayed behind.

Inside the vast hall, apart from a few maids, only Qin Jiuzhou, Jiang He, Chen Zeshengzi, and Lin Feng remained.

Lin Feng was in much better condition than before. The flesh on his damaged half of his face had grown back, and his breathing was gradually returning!

The reason he was in that state before was firstly because he was poisoned by the "Silver Gu Half-Saint's" Gu technique, and secondly because he was injured by Wu Ti's natal true fire.

His cultivation level was comparable to that of Wu Ti Half-Saint and Yin Gu Half-Saint, both being high-level Half-Saints.

If he were only affected by either "Gu" or the Golden Crow Clan's "Life-Bound True Fire," he could naturally resolve the situation with his strength... but if he were affected by both, he simply couldn't expel them!
When the "Gu" is expelled, the Golden Crow Clan's "Life-Bound True Fire" will erupt!
When the "true fire of one's life" is expelled, the Gu technique will be activated!
Lin Feng has suffered greatly from this over the years, and for more than 20 years he has been able to hide in that hall and barely resist by relying on his own sword intent and cultivation!

As the Silver Gu Half-Saint was beaten to death by Qin Jiuzhou and other ancient powerhouses, the Gu technique in Lin Feng's body dissipated automatically, which is why he was able to unleash that sword strike at the Holy King's Mansion.

Now, he only has the "true fire of destiny" of the half-saint Wu Ti left in his body. He can suppress it and slowly refine it, and his body will naturally recover.

Qin Jiuzhou cut to the chase, asking, "Your Highness, Brother Lin, could you please tell me... was that sword strike really delivered by the Holy King?"

Chen Ze and Lin Feng exchanged a glance.

They all nodded in agreement.

They denied this before the saints because they were unaware of the current situation of the Chen royal court.

He was summoned by that "Realm Emperor" and disappeared without a trace for more than twenty years. Now he suddenly appears, strikes with a sword, and then flees again... Chen Ze and Lin Feng could not guess Chen Wangting's thoughts, so they did not tell the truth in front of the saints.

But there was nothing to hide from Qin Jiuzhou.

Seeing the two nod, Qin Jiuzhou looked puzzled and said, "Back then, the Holy King once said that he would definitely die if he went to the Central Region... If he didn't go, given the nature of that World Emperor in the Central Region, he might affect the Eastern Region."

"Could something have gone wrong?"

"The Holy King is not dead?"

"But if he's not dead, why doesn't he show himself?"

and also.

The commotion caused by the "emergence" of "Tianmen Pass" was so great that almost all the semi-saints in the vast Eastern Region were alarmed. Logically speaking, it should have been impossible to hide it from the three "inspectors" and some rogue cultivators and alien races.

Even if they cannot return to their own people, they can still spread the word and report this to the Realm Emperor.

But so far...

However, no action was taken from the Central Region.

If that "Realm Emperor" truly came from the Great Xia Dynasty and acted as a "traitor" back then... then he would never have stood by and watched "Heavenly Gate Pass" emerge, giving the Great Xia time to develop!
Faced with Qin Jiuzhou's question, both Chen Ze and Lin Feng shook their heads.

"Our master was aloof and always went his own way. He would never tell us anything... If it weren't for the many things our master told us before he left more than 20 years ago, we wouldn't know anything at all!"

aside.

Jiang He, who was drinking fine wine, poked his head over and said in surprise, "Senior Chen is aloof? That's not right... I've fought with him many times in the Trial Tower, and he doesn't seem like aloof at all."

Lin Feng said, "Back then, when Kunlun Realm was breached, my master pretended to surrender to the alien race and suffered all kinds of scorn and curses. He witnessed many relatives and friends die under the blades of the alien race, which may have greatly changed his personality."

What is certain now is that Chen Wangting is still alive.

But since he doesn't show himself, it's unclear what the attitude of the Realm Emperor of the "Central Imperial Domain" is.

"Tianmen Pass" can only be considered to have established a foothold in the Eastern Region. However, there are countless experts in the Central Region. Not to mention the "Inspectors" left behind by the alien races, there are countless experts summoned from the East, South, West and North over the years.

Not to mention that the Central Region is more vast and richer, and its heritage is also stronger.

"pity."

"Since the Heavenly Gate has not been fully unsealed, its power can hardly be exerted even one-thousandth of its potential, and it can only be used for passive defense."

Qin Jiuzhou shook his head and said, "I will go to the Central Region and try to meet that Realm Emperor. I won't be at ease until I get to the bottom of this matter."

Chen Ze and his ten brothers quickly tried to dissuade him, fearing that Qin Jiuzhou would be killed as soon as he arrived in the Central Region.

Qin Jiuzhou laughed and said, "Don't worry, I have the ability to protect myself."

Seeing that he had made up his mind, Chen Ze asked, "Would you like the teleportation array of the Holy King's Palace?"

"Need not."

Qin Jiuzhou said, "The teleportation array of the Eastern Region Holy King's Mansion is definitely being watched. I will find a way to get to the Central Region myself."

Jiang He stood up and said happily, "Seventh Brother, that's great! Let's go together!"

Qin Jiuzhou's face darkened, and he first asked, "Have you been taking your medication lately?"

Jiang He: "I'm eating, four meals a day, right on time, not a minute off."

Qin Jiuzhou said, "In that case, let's go our separate ways... You are the one I have the most faith in in our Great Xia. We can't both perish in the Central Region."

If I hang out with a lunatic like you, won't my identity be exposed in no time?
Fearing that Jiang He would stubbornly stick with him, Qin Jiuzhou quickly slipped away.

Jiang He was extremely disappointed and cursed, "Damn it... Qin Jiuzhou, I treated you like a brother, but you treated me like a burden?"

Seeing this, Chen Ze offered some words of comfort and said with a smile, "Brother Jiang, let's go... The [Sword Dao Tournament] has already begun. Let's go and observe and see if any sword dao geniuses have emerged in our Eastern Region."

"Oops!"

Jiang He slapped his forehead and said, "I almost forgot, I signed up too..."
