The lost realm of martial arts, raising Gu in the upper realm!

After the battle, Jiang Qing allowed the Divine Martial Army to return to their barracks while he eagerly returned to the Champion Marquis Residence.

In the recent battle, Jiang Qing's Literary Saint Dao Book successfully advanced to a high-level standard, reaching a point where he could traverse space and time to converse with Human Race powerhouses from various eras.

Now, Jiang Qing's foundation had reached its Peak, and conversing with powerhouses from the Ancient Era was no longer as important.

However, the most crucial function of the Literary Saint Dao Book was its ability to resonate with Human Race powerhouses of all eras, not just limited to any single one.

The Ancestral Human Dao Book still only contained images of Human Race powerhouses starting from the Ancient Era, but the Literary Saint Dao Book was not limited by era; it could resonate and communicate with Human Race powerhouses from any era.

For instance, an era even older than the Ancient Era, the barbaric era 100,000 years ago, preceded the Ancient Era, and there might even be older eras before the barbaric era.

The Human Race has a long and continuous history; as Heaven and Earth Spirits' favored children, the Human Race's historical foundation must be extremely rich.

Presumably, the Human Race of that time also belonged to one of the world's upper echelons, knowing many secrets.

Through conversing with the Human Race from this period, Jiang Qing could glimpse a mysterious corner of the Myriad Realms, learn where the creators of this Myriad Realms went, and perhaps some information within could let Jiang Qing know the power level of this world.

Based on this, Jiang Qing could change his current strategy.

Currently, he has two major forces at his disposal: one is the Hundred Races beings of the Purple Lightning Remains, and the other is the Undead of the Netherworld. Either of these is a terrifying force capable of overturning the current Myriad Realms, able to directly contend with the Great Tribulation of World Annihilation.

The first echelon further includes two Heaven and Earth Spirits and an Emperor Grade Immortal Tree, who are Peak powerhouses of the Martial Immortal Realm, as well as numerous Strange Spirits under them who are outstanding individuals of the Martial Lord Realm, collectively forming an extremely massive force.

However, despite having such a massive force at hand, Jiang Qing needed to consider whether there were stronger beings outside the Myriad Realms. Therefore, the current development policy was still to plan slowly, stabilize his growth, and not be reckless.

But if he could glimpse the top combat power level and world power layout of this world from the early eras of the Myriad Realms, then Jiang Qing could change his strategy.

If the top combat power of this world only reached the mid-stage Martial Immortal Realm, then with the two Heaven and Earth Spirits, Jiang Qing would have the qualifications to take control.

At that time, there would be no need to keep his gaze on the Myriad Realms; Jiang Qing could directly lead his people to dominate at the central convergence point of this great world, then easily unify the Myriad Realms and eliminate the Calamity Beings.

As he thought of this, Jiang Qing's excitement became difficult to suppress.

He returned to the Champion Marquis Residence.

Upon arriving at the Martial Arts Cultivation Room, Jiang Qing closed the door and directly entered the Purple Lightning Remains, then used his Divine Sense to probe into the Literary Saint Dao Book.

Looking intently, the images of the Human Race ancestors in the Literary Saint Dao Book constantly changed, and their total number was greater than before.

Previously, Jiang Qing could only see the preserved images of Human Race ancestors from three different periods: the present, the Ancient Era, and the Ancient Era. The images beyond that were completely shrouded in a mist.

But now, Jiang Qing could see everything clearly.

Before the Ancient Era, Jiang Qing not only saw the Human Race ancestors of the barbaric era but also those from even more distant eras.

The Human Race ancestors of the barbaric era were highly distinctive, as most of them wore animal skin robes, shimmering with profound barbaric Daorhyme, and especially had unique tribal conflicts between their brows.

Not much information from the barbaric era was preserved, but one very clear record was that the Human Race of that period lived in tribes, leading a primitive, societal life, and each tribe had its own totem deity they worshipped.

However, there was absolutely no information from the period before the barbaric era.

But by looking at the displayed images of the Human Race ancestors above, one could still discern differences; the earlier Human Race was completely different from the Human Race of the barbaric era.

Before a group of people wearing animal skin robes, the earlier Human Race ancestors wore magnificent robes, exuding an extremely powerful Martial Dao might from head to toe.

Jiang Qing had already witnessed the power level of the Martial Immortal Realm, so he immediately recognized that these Human Race ancestors were at the Martial Immortal Realm level.

Indeed, Jiang Qing's previous conjecture was not wrong.

The upper limit of the Myriad Realms was not limited to Martial Lord; there had already been beings at the Martial Immortal Realm.

The Human Race before the barbaric era possessed an extremely terrifying power level, reaching the Martial Immortal Realm.

Seeing this, Jiang Qing's expression became strange.

The Myriad Realms originally had power reaching the Martial Immortal level, so why was it not passed down?

Furthermore, the Human Race of the barbaric era lived in primitive tribal forms, while the Human Race of the first period wore luxurious robes, clearly indicating that civilization had developed to a very high degree.

It was one thing for Martial Dao power not to be passed down, but even the development of civilization was not preserved?

The first era was clearly a complete civilized society like an ancient Dynasty, but the second era became a basic society of the primitive age.

This was truly somewhat perplexing.

Jiang Qing had a vague guess, but without concrete clues, he couldn't be sure.

Subsequently, Jiang Qing activated the power of the Literary Saint Dao Book, attempting to converse with the Human Race ancestors from before the barbaric era.

But very quickly, Jiang Qing felt a thick barrier blocking his way, preventing him from connecting with the Human Race ancestors of the first era through the power of the Literary Saint Dao Book.

Jiang Qing could feel that these Human Race ancestors had set up a Seal, making it impossible for later generations to converse with them.

They had completely Sealed everything related to the first era.

“Not good…”

Jiang Qing frowned.

Seeing this, Jiang Qing basically had a deduction.

There were two main possibilities why the Human Race of the first era did not pass down Martial Immortal Cultivation Techniques and civilization construction systems: one was a protective measure, and the other was 'Gu' Cultivation.

Jiang Qing, having read many web novels, naturally knew that some novel world backgrounds involved 'Gu' Cultivation, where the Upper Realm fed on people from the Lower Realm, thus setting Realm Bottlenecks to prevent people from the Lower Realm from having the ability to overthrow the Upper Realm.

However, this method of 'Gu' Cultivation would eventually expose some clues. Jiang Qing had spent time in many periods of the Myriad Realms and had not found any abnormalities, so this theory could be ruled out.

That leaves only the first reason as the most likely.

The reason the Human Race of the first era did not pass down Martial Immortal Cultivation Techniques and civilization construction systems was to protect later Human Race and the Myriad Realms.

Perhaps, there was some danger existing outside, and the source was the Martial Dao system that reached the Martial Immortal Realm, so they cut off this Martial Dao system, along with the civilization development system.

Following this thought deeper, Jiang Qing carefully sensed the Martial Dao Qi of these first-era Human Race again.
