170: The most orthodox ancient martial arts path

"I received a Legacy from an ancient civilization."

Su Lei withdrew his gaze from the window; his voice was soft, yet it made Wang Qingtian involuntarily hold his breath.

"It not only records how to further temper Protective Aura and more effectively use the power of heaven and earth..."

"It can also strengthen Mental Energy, and by comprehending the Laws of heaven and earth, gradually transform the Soul into a Divine Soul."

As he spoke, a hint of colorful light suddenly appeared on Su Lei's fingertip.

Wang Qingtian's pupils constricted, and the wine glass in his hand almost slipped.

He quickly steadied himself, his voice trembling slightly with excitement: "Can... can this Legacy be revealed to the Federation?"

Su Lei gently shook his head, and the light on his fingertip dissipated: "Even if I reveal it, it's useless."

He looked at Wang Qingtian, his gaze like a torch, "Only by becoming a Great Grandmaster are you qualified to learn it."

The flame of hope in Wang Qingtian's eyes instantly extinguished, but he still wouldn't give up: "Is there really no way at all..."

Su Lei pondered for a moment, then suddenly snapped his fingers.

A wisp of colorful Protective Aura intertwined with Mental Energy, condensing into a simple rune in the air.

That rune, though only a few strokes, emitted a terrifyingly profound Aura, distorting the surrounding air.

"What do you see in it?" Su Lei asked.

Wang Qingtian's eyes widened, staring intently at the rune, cold sweat gradually seeping from his forehead.

"I... I can feel extremely powerful energy from it..."

His voice was incredibly hoarse as he struggled to swallow a mouthful of saliva.

"If it hit me... I would surely die."

Su Lei frowned slightly and continued to ask, "And what else?"

Wang Qingtian examined it carefully for a long while, then finally shook his head dejectedly.

Su Lei sighed softly, and with a casual wave of his hand, the rune instantly dissipated into the air.

"It's just a rune I condensed with a tiny bit of Protective Aura, yet it can automatically draw in the surrounding Heaven and Earth Origin Qi."

"It also contains some things you can't understand..."

The clouds outside the porthole gradually took on the hues of dusk, and Su Lei's voice was exceptionally clear in the dim cabin.

"The so-called Martial Dao Great Grandmaster must not only be able to control Heaven and Earth Origin Qi with his own Protective Aura but also learn to perceive heaven and earth with his Soul and utilize Laws."

"As for the Venerables of the next Realm..."

He paused, a hint of complexity flashing in his eyes, and did not continue.

Although he had witnessed the actions of Venerables Hongtian and Xinghe up close and had received the Legacy of the Star Pivot Art, that Realm still seemed like looking at flowers through a fog.

"Truly incredible..."

Wang Qingtian showed a bitter smile:

Just the ability to control Qi with Protective Aura was difficult to understand, and the cultivation of Mental Energy was even more so... He suddenly remembered something and looked up, asking: "What about Lei Mietian?"

Su Lei's lips curved slightly: "He has mastered controlling Qi with Protective Aura, barely counting as a Great Grandmaster." His tone carried a hint of disdain, "But only that much..."

Wang Qingtian looked thoughtful, a hint of envy flashing in his eyes:

"Although I don't know what you've been through..."

"But it seems now, you have embarked on the most orthodox ancient martial Dao."

...The plane slowly landed at the military airport in the Imperial Capital, the Federation's capital.

On the runway, a team of black armored cars had been waiting for a long time, their police lights flashing crimson in the night.

As soon as the two stepped off the gangway, a team of fully armed special agents immediately came forward.

After Wang Qingtian showed his credentials, Su Lei followed him into the back seat of the extended car in the middle.

The motorcade silently drove out of the airport, passing through the brightly lit city.

The night view of the Imperial Capital rapidly receded outside the car window, the glass curtain walls of skyscrapers reflecting the neon lights.

Twenty minutes later, the motorcade drove into the underground passage of the Federal Congress Building.

After three strict security checks, they finally arrived at the top-secret conference room on the thirtieth floor.

The heavy alloy door slowly opened, revealing that it was already filled with the highest-ranking figures of the Federation.

The moment Su Lei stepped into the conference room, everyone's gaze focused on him.

Su Lei's gaze swept past the federal high-ranking officials and landed on a familiar figure in the corner—it was Qin Yueshan, Deputy Director, the Vice Dean who had forged the Kaitian Blade for him.

Beside him was a white-haired but energetic, portly old man.

Noticing Su Lei's gaze, Qin Yueshan, Deputy Director quickly wiped the sweat from his forehead and stepped forward two paces to introduce.

"Mr. Su, this is Dean Li of the Federation Academy of Sciences, and this is..."

He was about to introduce several other important officials but was interrupted by Dean Li raising his hand.

He strode forward, his eyes behind his spectacles gleaming with fervent light.

"How exactly did you Seal it? What was the specific process?"

Wang Qingtian interjected with a bitter smile.

"The people who went to the Western Theater Command with me have already reached the Seal location, and detailed data will be transmitted soon."

Su Lei ignored Dean Li's persistent questions and said directly: "Take me to see the Demonic Beast remains."

Dean Li's brows immediately furrowed into a knot.

"That thing is too dangerous! It has already been sealed in a quantum isolation chamber."

He pushed up his glasses, the lenses reflecting a cold light, "Just the dark energy that escaped has already caused mutation reactions in seven researchers."

"I need to use it to forge a weapon." Su Lei's tone was unquestionable.

Qin Yueshan, Deputy Director waved his hands repeatedly upon hearing this, more cold sweat seeping from his forehead.

He secretly glanced at Dean Li, lowering his voice: "This, such dangerous Materials... and I don't have the authority to dispose of it."

"You don't need to do it." Su Lei said calmly, "I'll forge it myself."

A collective gasp filled the conference room.

Several military generals exchanged glances, while the scientific researchers frowned.

Just as the atmosphere became tense, the conference room door was suddenly pushed open!

Three men with fierce Auras strode in, their military boots thudding heavily on the floor.

Su Lei's gaze shifted slightly.

He had seen these three in the top-secret video; they were the survivors among the ten Great Grandmasters who had collectively fought against the Demonic Beast.

The leader was burly, with a hideous scar on his face.

"I heard someone wants our spoils of war?"

He coldly scanned the room, finally fixing his gaze on Su Lei, with undisguised hostility.

Su Lei met his gaze calmly.

"What? Not allowed?"

Dean Li suddenly interjected, his voice excited: "Do you know how important this Demonic Beast remains is?!"

He waved the data pad in his hand,

"Demonic Beasts are powerful precisely because of the dark fields they release! If we can analyze their weaknesses..."

Qin Yueshan, Deputy Director quietly added: "Even if you were given it, you couldn't use it... The dark Aura emanating from that severed limb is so strong that even Great Grandmasters cannot approach it for long."

Su Lei's expression remained unchanged: "You don't need to worry about that."

Wang Qingtian suddenly slammed his hand on the table, looking around at everyone, his voice like thunder.

"Perhaps you are not clear about the specific situation."

"The Demonic Beast in the Western Theater Command was Sealed by Su Lei himself!"

The next moment, the conference room erupted in an uproar.
