Chapter 477 - 259: Achieving Martial King, Returning to the Jianghu
Wei Fan returned to the cave, calming his emotions and opened the panel.
[Purple Profound Martial Arts Manual - Martial King Chapter (Uninitiated)]
[Ordinary Power: 390,000 years]
[Golden Body Power: None]
In the past, he would worry about having insufficient comprehension, unable to break through to the Martial King Realm, but after mastering the second transformation of the Divine Silkworm Nine Transformations, he no longer had such concerns.
This was a confidence that sprang from the depths of his heart, the result of his Primordial Spirit’s transformation, and the conclusion he reached after realizing his own changes.
Breaking through to Martial King was not something easy for him, but it was no longer as difficult as scaling the heavens.
"Breakthrough, after disappearing for so many days, there should be many people outside missing me!"
With that thought, the panel began to flicker:
[With the power of one year, you mastered the second transformation of the Divine Silkworm Nine Transformations and eagerly began to break through to the Martial King Realm, recalling the contents of the Purple Profound Martial Arts Manual - Martial King Chapter you saw at the Demon Hunter Branch, everything appeared vividly in your memory. In just a year, you comprehended the contents of the Purple Profound Martial Arts Manual - Martial King Chapter]
[With the power of two years, your Heart Spirit left your body, attempting to perceive the mystery of the outer heavens...]
...
Wei Fan’s expression remained calm and unmoved, with his Primordial Spirit’s second transformation, his comprehension had long changed. Comprehending the contents of the Purple Profound Martial Arts Manual - Martial King Chapter within a year was very normal.
Those qualified to challenge the Martial King Realm generally don’t lack in comprehension, the contents of the cultivation techniques couldn’t be a barrier.
The true difficulty of the Martial King Realm, however, lies in this step of understanding the world!
The hallmark of a King-level powerhouse—Domain, is formed by understanding the great universe, thus establishing one’s own small universe.
This step has blocked the progression of countless talents.
The concept of Martial Dao truly begins with this realm; only by becoming a Martial King powerhouse can one truly enter the hall of the Martial Dao, otherwise even if one reaches the Seventh Forging of the Seven-Colored Golden Body of a Martial Venerable, they aren’t qualified to claim cultivation in the Martial Dao.
Wei Fan’s Heart Spirit expanded outward, gradually harmonizing with the surrounding universe using the method recorded in the Purple Profound Martial Arts Manual - Martial King Chapter. As time passed, some secrets of the universe gradually revealed themselves before him.
In the cave, his body seemed to fade away, as if merging with the surrounding universe.
The time passed by unknowingly, and his body began to emit a dazzling brilliance, his aura rapidly surged.
Like the sound of rivers rushing, it echoed within him, mighty Qi Blood surged out from the top of his head, instantly overturning the cave.
Martial King!
The hallmark is the domain, but it’s not the only capability, the process of Heart Spirit’s comprehension and harmonizing with the universe also elevates the power of the Primordial Spirit.
And the True Essence of a Martial Venerable is originally a fusion of Primordial Spirit power and True Power, thus the elevation of Primordial Spirit power naturally leads to changes in True Essence, transforming into a more advanced King’s Power.
The cultivation of martial artists is a process of the fundamental transformation of life, and also a process of elevating the level of power.
Buzz Buzz...
A peculiar field rapidly spread from Wei Fan’s center, where it passed, time seemed to stop, everything becoming stationary.
"Domain, I’ve stepped into the Martial King Realm!"
Wei Fan opened his eyes, his pupils deep as the night sky. The power that immobilized everything disappeared, stones fell like raindrops, clattering down.
[With the power of twenty thousand years, you comprehended the universe and grasped the mystery of the small universe, mastering the power of domain, stepping into the First Stage of Martial King Realm, initial entry into the Purple Profound Martial Arts Manual - Martial King Chapter]
[Purple Profound Martial Arts Manual - Martial King Chapter (Entry Level)]
[Ordinary Power: 370,000 years]
[Golden Body Power: None]
He looked at the panel, the power used to break through to the Martial King Realm was less than what he used to break through to the Martial Venerable Realm, indeed the Divine Silkworm Nine Transformations have made his comprehension increasingly terrifying.
This was only the second transformation, if he could master all nine, perhaps he wouldn’t need the panel, he could become invincible in the world.
"I still have 370,000 years of power!"
Wei Fan slightly furrowed his brow, originally he should have the Human King Bell transform once, but 370,000 years of power seem insufficient.
According to his estimation, to transform the Human King Bell once more, at least 500,000 years of power would be needed.
"Then for now, don’t enhance the Human King Bell, first master the only Martial King-level Martial Technique, the Purple Realm Sky Splitter, and then go out to earn more power, then enhance the Human King Bell!"
...
On the border of the Chu Kingdom, in a certain tavern, a group of Jianghu guests were drinking and dining while discussing recent events in the Jianghu.
Recently, if there’s anything that has attracted the most attention in the Wilderness Jianghu, it’s undoubtedly the once sensational Demon Hunter Demon, Wei Fan.
However, in the eyes of most Jianghu people nowadays, Wei Fan has become a figure of the past, it’s mostly certain that Wei Fan has perished.
"Such a demon-like genius has fallen, truly a pity. If Wei Fan had not died, the Human Race would definitely have another Martial King. With Wei Fan’s talent, he could perhaps have become the first Martial Saint after the Cataclysm of Saints!"
Someone lamented. Although Wei Fan was ruthless, his talent was unparalleled, unrivaled across the five thousand years of the Wilderness.
"Indeed, he might have accomplished what the Saint Master of the Celestial Desolation Empire could not, sweeping away all Demon Fiends in the Wilderness."
"He may not be dead. It’s only been over ten days, and the Demon Fiends haven’t come forward to say Wei Fan is dead. Maybe he’s still alive. If the Demon Fiends really killed Wei Fan, they would have announced it long ago to crush the morale of the Human Race."
Some rational people believed Wei Fan might not be dead.
The Jianghu was buzzing with rumors, but neither Wei Fan’s friends nor the Demon Fiends had publicly declared Wei Fan’s fall.
Everything was mere speculation based on recent events.
"I heard from a friend in the Demon Hunter Organization that many Demon Fiend clans are holding large funerals recently, including the Profound Crane Sect and the Heaven-Supporting Demon King clan, as well as the Purple-eyed Demon King. He suspects that when the Saint Son of the Profound Crane Sect, along with the Little Ape King and Little Lion King, ambushed Wei Fan, Wei Fan managed to counterkill them!"
Someone suddenly spoke, instantly silencing the tavern.
Over such a long time, even if the Demon Fiends deliberately suppressed the information, Demon Hunters who hunted in the Demon Fiend territory caught clues.
"Could Wei Fan really be alive?"
"Impossible. If Wei Fan wasn’t dead, how could he disregard the fate of his friends? It’s said the Chu Imperial Family has been hunting down people from the Yunhua Sect, demanding Yunhua Sect hand over the remnants of the Ning Family.
Even if he didn’t have a good relationship with Yunhua Sect, regardless of their enmity with the Chu Imperial Family, he wouldn’t sit back idly concerning matters of the Great Victory Dynasty.
Those who know are aware that Wei Fan came from the Great Victory Dynasty, with his family and friends there. Now that his family and friends have been captured,
If Wei Fan wasn’t dead, with his character, he would have already destroyed the Great Victory Dynasty’s Imperial Family..."
The man analyzed confidently until he suddenly noticed a young man rising from a corner of the tavern and sitting beside him.
He intended to reprimand the impolite young man, but as the other sat down, a pressure only he could feel enveloped him, causing his Heart Spirit to tremble.
"A master, at least a Martial Venerable powerhouse!" His eyelids twitched wildly.
He was at the late stage of the Divine Realm, and only a Martial Venerable powerhouse could exert such pressure on him.
Moreover, no one else in the tavern was affected, the person before him controlled their power with incredible finesse.
"Tell me, who did the Great Victory Dynasty capture?"
This person was indeed Wei Fan, who had already broken through to the Martial King and returned, deliberately disappearing for a few days, prompting some to emerge.
The man was puzzled: "You don’t know, sir? The Great Victory Dynasty captured many of Wei Fan’s friends, including the General of Qingzhou, Long Jianying, and his granddaughter Long Xueyi, as well as Commander You Qingfeng, General of Tongzhou Pei Shinan, and one of the Garrison Commanders, Shentu Bao.
It’s said that everyone connected with Wei Fan has been thrown into the Great Prison by the Great Victory Dynasty’s Imperial Family for various reasons, with some set to be executed soon.
One must say, the Great Victory Dynasty has truly acted shamelessly this time."
Murderous intent surged in Wei Fan’s heart: "What about Yunhua Sect and the Chu Imperial Family?"
He had already guessed that the Chu Imperial Family likely discovered Ning Xiaoye’s identity and wanted Yunhua Sect to hand her over.
Dongfang Ye naturally would not hand over his disciple, leading to the conflict.
Sure enough, upon explanation, the Chu Imperial Family indeed found Ning Xiaoye and had clashed several times. Initially, Yunhua Sect did not have the strength to contend with the Chu Imperial Family, but several Martial Venerable powerhouses from the Daqian Kingdom helped Yunhua Sect escape from Chu.
"Besides these, are there any forces targeting Wei Fan recently?"
...
In the capital city of the Great Victory Dynasty, the execution ground was a sea of people, all gathered to watch the spectacle.
Today, the Great Victory Dynasty was publicly executing the former General of Qingzhou, Long Jianying, for negligence, along with the entire family of General of Tongzhou Pei Shinan, and others, including the former Garrison Commander of the Demon Suppression Bureau, Shentu Bao.
Those in the know understood that Long Jianying, Pei Shinan, and the others had once expanded the territories for the Great Victory Dynasty, subduing the Demon Fiends of Cyan Cloud Mountain and the Black Lake Flood Dragon, rendering great service to the Human Race. They had not committed any real crimes.
However, because of Wei Fan’s repeated slaying of Imperial Family experts, his friends were implicated.
"I sense many Martial Venerable presences, but I don’t know if they are enemies or allies. If we fail to rescue Wei Fan’s friends, it will be hard to explain when he returns!"
In the crowd, Li Yunfei communicated to Xie Cailin.
Apart from the unknown presences, he also saw several Martial Venerables from the Great Victory Dynasty’s Imperial Family. With their lineup, they could match the Martial Venerables of the Great Victory Dynasty’s Imperial Family, but if other forces intervened, they might not be able to save Long Jianying and others.
Xie Cailin’s eyes scanned the surroundings: "Don’t worry. Rescuing Wei Fan’s friends this time was ordered by the Hall Master. Do you think the Hall Master wouldn’t have considered this aspect?
The Hall Master is actually saving the Qin Family, otherwise, with Wei Fan’s friends in trouble, when Wei Fan returns, there will be rivers of blood flowing in the Great Victory Dynasty.
The Hall Master gave me something; should anything unexpected happen and our strength be unable to save Wei Fan’s friends, the Hall Master has authorized me to use it to eradicate the Qin Family, and then we’ll just install a new Imperial Family."
Li Yunfei was stunned: "I thought you were repaying Wei Fan’s favor, but it was arranged by the Hall Master."
Xie Cailin shook his head: "The Demon Hunter Organization and the various Imperial Families have agreements, and the Hall Master cannot openly violate the rules. In short, whatever we do, it has nothing to do with the Demon Hunter Organization."
As they spoke, prison carriages rolled into the execution ground.
