142: Senior Brother, you misunderstood, I have not cultivated to become a Divine Martial
At the foot of Tongtian Peak, Yuan Anyi looked back at the Peak, first a little stunned, then his pupils gradually narrowed to pinpricks, and his mouth fell open.
“No, you… you!”
He was calling me Senior just now, and now he's going to call me Martial Grand Uncle?
On Jingang Peak, the main gate of Jingang Temple suddenly opened.
A burly man with thick eyebrows and large eyes walked out from inside. It was Yuan Anyi's father, Jingang Temple Master Yuan Shengxiong.
He looked towards Tongtian Peak, utterly bewildered.
“Sect Master, what exactly are you doing? Shouldn't I be the one to take him as a Disciple, or rather, take him as a Disciple on behalf of my Master?”
He had long heard from that rebellious son that this young friend named Qin Jiang's strength might not be inferior to a fifth-rank Divine Warrior.
And he himself was only a sixth-rank Divine Warrior. Although he was only half a step away from the seventh-rank, not being it was still not being it.
With only a one-rank difference, he wasn't so shameless as to take someone like that as a Disciple.
But the problem was...
“Temple Master, since this person has become the Sect Master's Junior Brother, isn't he a generation higher than you, Temple Master?” an Inner Sect Disciple of Jingang Temple walked out and said.
Yuan Shengxiong's face darkened, and he couldn't help but gasp. Could it be that he really had to call him Junior Martial Uncle whenever they met in the future?
It was bad enough that he didn't get a Disciple; in the end, he became the other person's Martial Nephew? What kind of situation was this!
“That rebellious son! It's all that rebellious son's fault! Why didn't he bring him to me first?”
“You, go call that rebel... your Senior Brother over here for me!”
On the other side, on Dongmu Peak, a tall woman in a green shirt walked out of the Eastern Wood Shrine, followed by a young girl.
The girl was also in green, slightly smaller in stature, less than 1.6 meters tall, but she carried a massive eight-sided Vajra Hammer on her shoulder.
The hammerhead's volume was larger than half her body! It was hard to imagine what she would look like in battle.
“Mother, you have an extra Junior Martial Uncle,” the girl in green said.
The woman in the green shirt nodded slightly, “Lingyun, don't be rude. That is your Martial Grand Uncle.”
The girl in green pouted, “I know, that's Little Martial Grand Uncle.”
“It's Martial Grand Uncle, there's no 'Little'.”
On the various Peaks, in the gathering places of the Inner Sect Disciples and Outer Sect Disciples, many people were discussing the origins of this Martial Grand Uncle.
They all knew the name of the Bronze Bell Sect; its Sect Leader, Old Freak Wang, even had some reputation in the Prefecture.
But besides Old Freak Wang, they didn't know anything about the rest.
“Qin Jiang, I remember that among the four famous families of Ningan, there seemed to be a Qin Family?”
“No way? I remember a few years ago, the Qin Family seemed to have been annihilated?”
“Oh, who knows what's true or false about these rumors. Anyway, our Martial Grand Uncle is surnamed Qin; you don't care if he's from that Qin Family or not.”
“Exactly, it's just a famous family from a county city. How can it compare to our Longevity Sect's Martial Grand Uncle? If it really is them, that's their good fortune!”
“Indeed, indeed! Junior Brother's words are correct!”
Just as they were discussing, a series of bell chimes rang out again from Tongtian Peak, followed by two huge light figures rising, which were the Sect Leader of Changshou and Qin Jiang.
“Sect Leader! It's the Sect Leader! The one next to him should be our Martial Grand Uncle.”
“Fool! Hurry and pay your respects!”
“Right, right! Jingang Peak Disciples greet Martial Grand Uncle!”
“Dongmu Peak Disciples greet Martial Grand Uncle!”
“Feiyun Peak Disciples greet Martial Grand Uncle!”
“Qingjing Peak Disciples greet Martial Grand Uncle!”
On a small Peak somewhere, this was the mountain of a Personal Disciple, with only a simple wooden house on it.
“Creak~”
The wooden house opened, and a red-haired young man walked out, his blood-red eyes looking towards Tongtian Peak, his gaze calm.
He slightly cupped his hands, “Third-generation Personal Disciple Jiang Yun greets Martial Grand Uncle.”
On Tongtian Peak, the light figures gradually dissipated.
Inside the Tongtian Hall, the Sect Leader of Changshou looked at Qin Jiang, “Junior Brother, our Longevity Sect has two Divine Martial arts. One is the Vajra Indestructible Body, which focuses on combat techniques, and the other is the Eastern Wood Longevity Body, which focuses on health preservation. Which one do you want to see first?”
Qin Jiang pondered for a moment, “Which one is faster?”
The Sect Leader of Changshou looked puzzled, “What do you mean, Junior Brother? They are just two Martial arts. Even if they are Divine Martial arts, they are only about ten thousand characters in total. Isn't that something you can read at a glance?”
Qin Jiang shook his head, “Senior Brother, I mean which Divine Martial art's Divine Martial Divine Power can be refined faster.”
The Sect Leader of Changshou suddenly understood Qin Jiang's meaning: he intended to cultivate both Divine Martial arts.
“Junior Brother, although Divine Martial arts are not impossible to cultivate concurrently, if there is too much conflict between the two Divine Martial arts, even if you learn them, it will be useless, and may even lead to a regression in strength.
If you hadn't cultivated Divine Martial arts, then it would be fine. My two Divine Martial arts do not conflict and can be cultivated concurrently. Although the requirements are relatively high, I don't think it's a problem for you.
However, now that Junior Brother, you have already achieved Divine Martial arts, it's impossible to determine if there is a conflict. It's better not to take the risk.
I am not stingy with this Divine Martial Divine Power. If Junior Brother does not intend to cultivate both, I can allocate equivalent resources to you.
With your talent, even with only one Divine Martial art, your strength is enough to stand out among the crowd, and there is a great chance of achieving the True God position in the future. There is no need to take the risk of cultivating both.”
The Sect Leader of Changshou spoke. He knew Qin Jiang's strength, and since the other party was so young, his Realm would certainly not be too high. He might even be a super Prodigy who could cross three or even four ranks!
With such talent, achieving the Peak of an eighth-rank Divine Martial Artist in the future would naturally be a given. Although the True God Realm was like an uncrossable chasm, there was still a very high possibility. Why take these detours?
Yuan Province hadn't produced a True God-rank expert in nearly a thousand years, and he didn't want to take this risk.
“Senior Brother, you probably misunderstood. I have not cultivated Divine Martial arts; I am still a Secret Martial Artist.”
Silence, a long silence. The Sect Leader of Changshou looked at Qin Jiang with a face full of confusion, “You're a Secret Martial Artist? Comparable to a fifth-rank Divine Warrior?”
Hiss~
My time is truly up. Why is this dream so real?
Speaking of which, it's been hundreds of years since I had such a realistic dream. The last time was in the illusion of Qingqiu, it seems.
No, I need to wake up quickly. That young friend must have arrived at the sect by now, and I can't keep him waiting.
“Dream, shatter!”
He roared in his heart, activating the Dream-Breaking Art.
A few seconds passed, and there was no change around him. He rolled his eyes, observing his surroundings.
“Strange, why isn't my Dream-Breaking Art working?”
“Dream, shatter!”
Another mental roar, still no change.
“Such a stubborn dream!”
“Dream! Shatter! Shatter for me! Shatter! Shatter!”
Across from him, Qin Jiang looked at the Sect Leader of Changshou, who would widen his eyes every few seconds, with some surprise. He couldn't help but reach out and wave his hand in front of him.
“Senior Brother, are you alright?”
“Ah?”
The Sect Leader of Changshou stared blankly at the waving arm in front of him. This wasn't a dream, I wasn't dreaming!
Suddenly, his hand grasped Qin Jiang's hand, and his expression changed slightly.
“This Physical Body is comparable to a demon king! It's definitely a Divine Martial-level Physical Body!”
“Moreover, there are clearly spatial fluctuations around his body, how could...!”
His eyes suddenly widened, and he finally understood what was happening.
“Innate Dao Embryo! That fluctuation is the natural manifestation of an Innate Dao Embryo!”
