149: Martial Arts Platform, "King Qi Hun Tian Ji"

Stepping into the room, a faint scent of sandalwood wafted into Qin Jiang's nostrils, making him take a few deep breaths.

After sitting down, Lin Mingzhi poured tea.

“The one leading the army on this trip to the eastern border is General Wuxiu of Huai Country, the Hundred Victories General. This person’s Divine Martial Realm has already reached the sixth stage, and with the tiger tally in hand, even an ordinary seventh-stage practitioner might not be his match in the military tent. You must be extremely careful.”

Qin Jiang nodded casually, “No matter. Even if it’s the seventh stage, it’s not impossible to fight.”

Lin Mingzhi raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, not expecting Qin Jiang to be so confident.

However, thinking about it, it was normal. He originally possessed strength comparable to a fifth-stage Divine Warrior, and now he had learned the Vajra Indestructible Body and the Eastern Wood Longevity Body. Coupled with his young age, a bit of arrogance was within expectations.

“I heard you joined the Longevity Sect for a Divine Martial Legacy. Do you want to learn my Lin Family’s Divine Martial?”

Qin Jiang’s eyes lit up slightly, “Is that true?”

This was Divine Martial, even without a Divine Artifact, it was enough to become the foundation of a Divine Martial Family.

“Naturally. You brought back my daughter’s jade pendant and helped me find her remains. If I couldn’t repay you even a little, I would truly feel bad.”

Lin Mingzhi spoke, his eyes filled with melancholy.

He had once hoped that perhaps his daughter had not died, but had simply found a good Family to marry and raise children.

But reality was always so disappointing.

However, he had long anticipated such a result. Although decades of hope had been shattered in an instant, it was not as difficult to accept.

Only occasionally would he still dream of seeing his daughters, and his wife who had passed away early.

“Thank you, Governor.”

“You’re too kind, young friend. Please follow me.”

The two walked out of the small courtyard and arrived at an ancient sacrificial platform. On the platform rested a Fangtian Huaji, its blade gleaming with cold light, and its shaft radiating brilliance.

“Look, this is the Martial Sacrificial Platform. Each successive Governor places their Divine Martial Artifact on it, serving as a city-protecting Divine Artifact while also enjoying the offerings of a province.

Like me, I was originally at the sixth-stage Divine Martial and thought that was my limit, but this Martial Sacrificial Platform allowed me to step into the seventh-stage Realm.” Lin Mingzhi said.

Qin Jiang looked at the Fangtian Huaji on the platform with some surprise. To him, its power even surpassed the Vajra Bell.

However, he knew this was an illusion. This Fangtian Huaji only had a slightly greater external imposing power than the Vajra Bell.

Indeed, the offerings from a province were extremely vast, but there was no comparison; the quality was far inferior to the numerous secret martial Disciples of the Longevity Sect and the various Families and Schools under its rule.

Moreover, the Vajra Bell had been the Divine Artifact of the Longevity Sect for hundreds of years.

It could be said that it had almost reached the limit a Divine Artifact could achieve. Any further step would be a True Spirit Divine Artifact that only a True God could fully activate.

“The Divine Martial I cultivate is called Qi King’s Chaotic Sky Halberd. It has nine layers, emphasizing Aura over specific moves. One must possess an undefeated heart from a hundred battles to unleash its full power.” Lin Mingzhi spoke.

“King Qi? Is that the True God-level expert who followed the First Ancestor of the Xia Emperor to expand his territory back then?” Qin Jiang asked.

When the First Ancestor of the Xia Emperor established the Nine Provinces and occupied the central land of the Divine Land, besides his own True Immortal-level strength, he also had four True Gods following him.

And King Qi was one of them, the elder brother of the Xia Emperor, the Grand Marshal of the world’s armies at that time, who had fought a hundred battles without defeat and achieved illustrious military exploits.

However, he later died for unknown reasons, and the King Qi’s Manor was destroyed overnight. If not for his trusted subordinates all being unharmed, some would even suspect that the Xia Emperor himself had taken action.

“Precisely. It was a coincidence, really. Back then, I was ostracized by my Family and had to travel far away. Unexpectedly, I inadvertently entered an ancient battlefield and saw the grand tomb that King Qi had erected for his broken battle weapon during his campaigns.

I thus obtained the Qi King’s Chaotic Sky Halberd, this Divine Martial. This Chaotic Sky Divine Halberd was also reforged by me after melting down that broken battle weapon, but although I obtained its form, I never truly grasped its undefeated intent.”

Speaking of this, Lin Mingzhi couldn’t help but laugh, “Let’s not talk about that. The Divine Power within this Chaotic Sky Divine Halberd is still enough for you to cultivate this Divine Martial.”

Qin Jiang was stunned, “Aren’t we just looking at the method?”

Lin Mingzhi’s eyes showed confusion, “What do you mean by that? If it’s just to look at the method, why would I bring you here?”

After speaking, he seemed to realize something and immediately burst into laughter: “Haha! Young friend, you are truly an interesting person! Go on quickly, I have already prepared a banquet, we won’t stop drinking until we’re drunk tonight!”

Qin Jiang nodded slightly, walked forward, and after examining the Qi King’s Chaotic Sky Halberd, directly grasped the Chaotic Sky Divine Halberd.

Immediately, an overbearing and unparalleled will surged, impacting his own will.

Feeling this overbearing will, he couldn’t help but laugh, directly pulling it out and brandishing it.

Horizontal! Upward thrust! Collapse! Block! Intercept!

Each move, though without a set pattern, carried an overbearing and unparalleled will, as if facing a giant mountain pressing down!

Below the Martial Sacrificial Platform, Lin Mingzhi looked at the figure wielding the Chaotic Sky Halberd on the platform with some disbelief.

He couldn’t help but sigh in his heart, such an overbearing intent, he had cultivated for more than ten years to develop it, but he never thought that Qin Jiang would learn it in an instant!

Amazing! Truly amazing! As expected of the Sect Leader of Changshou, his insight is indeed sharp!

A moment later, Qin Jiang’s speed in wielding the battle halberd became faster and faster. The surrounding space was already faintly showing blackness, which was a sign that the space was about to be unable to withstand the power.

It was hard to imagine that just a martial display could cause the space to nearly collapse.

One must know that even when fighting against Jiang Yun, such intensity was only reached a few times.

“Clang!”

Just as Lin Mingzhi was about to stabilize the space, Qin Jiang stopped, and the Chaotic Sky Divine Halberd was heavily inserted back into its original place.

Swish!

A gleaming divine light flashed and disappeared. Qin Jiang suddenly opened his eyes, which still held an overbearing Aura that could intimidate a million troops.

【Qi King’s Chaotic Sky Halberd (First Layer) (6000/20000) [94%]】

A compatibility of 94% was quite unexpected.

One must know that, so far, among the Cultivation Techniques not derived through deduction, only the Eight Transformations Golden Statue Skill and the Black Fiend Demon Statue Skill had a compatibility of 94% or higher.

The Black Fiend Demon Statue Skill, needless to say, was created in a flash of inspiration when achieving a fearless heart.

As for the Eight Transformations Golden Statue Skill, it was only able to achieve a 94% compatibility because the Sect Leader of Changshou used the Qin Family’s Bloodline as a foundation, coupled with his own inherent suitability for the Vajra lineage’s Cultivation Techniques.

And this Qi King’s Chaotic Sky Halberd...

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but laugh, shaking his head.

He was too concerned with these things. What did it matter why? If it was easy to use, that was all that mattered.

“Congratulations, young friend. It seems this Qi King’s Chaotic Sky Halberd does not conflict with your Martial arts system.” Lin Mingzhi said with a smile.

This was actually why he hadn’t initially suggested that Qin Jiang learn this Divine Martial.

If the Qi King’s Chaotic Sky Halberd conflicted with Qin Jiang’s original Divine Martial, it would not only be unhelpful but would cause resentment.

He only made this decision after hearing that Qin Jiang was simultaneously learning the Vajra Indestructible Body and the Eastern Wood Longevity Body.

Now it seemed the effect was quite good.

“Haha! Governor, you’re too kind! Not only does it not conflict, but it’s very compatible! I feel great now!” Qin Jiang laughed loudly.

That night, at the Governor’s manor, cups clinked together.

A thoroughly drunk Qin Jiang clinked cups with Lin Mingzhi and drank it all down.

“Brother Qin, I have a request, please don’t refuse!” Lin Mingzhi slurred.

“Brother Lin, just say it. If I can help, this younger brother will definitely help!” Qin Jiang said, putting his arm around Lin Mingzhi.

“In the future, if Yuan Province falls, please take a portion of the Lin Family members to the Imperial City for resettlement. I have already arranged properties in the Imperial City, and I will give you three-tenths of them at that time.”

Saying this, Lin Mingzhi directly picked up the wine pot and was about to drink heartily, but Qin Jiang raised his hand to stop him.

“Brother Lin, is the situation so critical?”

At this moment, Qin Jiang’s eyes were clear, without a trace of drunkenness.

Seeing this, Lin Mingzhi also slowly stood up, but he did not dispel the alcohol in his body.

“It’s more serious than you think. Do you think that although our Huai Country army has invaded, our Xia Country can block them?

And that our Divine Warrior numbers exceed Huai Country’s, and although the quality of our soldiers is slightly inferior, the advantage is actually ours?

Wrong, your perspective is too narrow. You must know that the Yuan Province battle is actually just the beginning. What we truly have to face are those two True Gods of Huai Country!

Even, that Immortal Ancestor of Huai Country!”

I’m back home, my lumbar disc is herniated, and my legs are numb. I’ve been typing on my phone in bed these past few days, so for now, it’s two updates.
