152: True God
That night, outside Wanghai City, by the Mo Sea, moonlight scattered, making the sea shimmer withSparkling.
Qin Jiang stood on a reef, with waves churning at his feet, crashing against the reef with a rumbling sound.
This Mo Sea is the sea Wanghai City overlooks; it is actually a huge bay between the Xia Country and the Huai Country, named Mo Sea because a unique plant in its waters causes the sea color to be deeper.
From his position, following the sea surface south, after passing the entrance of Mo Sea Bay, lies the East Sea.
He sat down cross-legged, his gaze falling upon the potential panel.
【Current Martial arts】
Qi Kings Chaotic Sky Halberd (First Layer) (8000 / 20000) [94%]
Vajra Indestructible Body (Eighth Layer) (46000 / 90000) [93%]
Eastern Wood Longevity Body (Third Layer) (3000 / 30000) [86%]

God-Demon True Scripture (Perfection) [98%]
【Potential Points: 723.8】
Before he came, a batch of antiques and old items collected by Xu Yanran had arrived, but he was in a hurry and had no time to use them.
Looking at the Vajra Indestructible Body, it was already enough to Breakthrough to the ninth layer of the True God Realm.
'Potential, allocate points, Vajra Indestructible Body'
【Vajra Indestructible Body (Eighth Layer) (46000 / 90000) [93%], Experience + 50000】
【Vajra Indestructible Body (Ninth Layer) (6000 / 200000) [93%]】
【Potential Points: 223.8】
As the Vajra Indestructible Body Broke through to the ninth layer, a dazzling golden light rose from within Qin Jiang's body, immediately obscured by a layer of black mist.
It was not yet time to reveal it; perhaps it would have a miraculous effect.
The golden light was confined within five meters of his body, gradually converging into a brilliant golden human figure behind him.
This was one of the marks of a True God, the True Spirit.
Once the True Spirit is formed, one enjoys three thousand years of life; if the True Spirit is immortal, the flesh and blood are imperishable.
At this step, one could say they have almost reached the limit of the human body; one more step up, and that would be a True Immortal who has mastered parts of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.
A moment later, the True Spirit gradually receded, and Qin Jiang opened his eyes.
Looking at the panel, the ninth layer required a full two hundred thousand experience points; although it was within his expectations, he was still somewhat surprised to see it with his own eyes.
This layer alone was enough to raise two top-tier advanced Secret Martial arts to the Perfection Realm.
No wonder the ninth layer was called True God, distinguishing it from the Divine Martial of the first eight layers.
He glanced at the remaining Potential Points and added them to the Qi Kings Chaotic Sky Halberd.
【Qi Kings Chaotic Sky Halberd (First Layer) (8000 / 20000) [94%], Experience + 13000】
【Qi Kings Chaotic Sky Halberd (Second Layer) (1000 / 25000) [94%]】
【Potential Points: 93.8】
A majestic Battle Intent erupted, faintly forming a halberd above his head.
However, after a few breaths, the halberd disappeared, and he had already mastered the increased power.
He stood up, looking towards the direction where Mo Sea Bay neared the East Sea.
If the Huai Country army were to invade, there were only two paths: the first was to land from this Mo Sea Bay, and the second was to cross the four border cities from the south and attack.
Although the three cities of the Eastern Border and the four cities of the Southern Border were located at the border, their primary duty was to prevent enemy attacks from the sea; their actual geographical locations were not far apart.
He pondered slightly; if the enemy landed here, it would be manageable.
But if the enemy chose the four cities of the Southern Border, he didn't know if they would directly bypass the four cities of the Southern Border and rush into the interior.
If that were the case, it would be a bit troublesome.
A moment later, he shook his head slightly, never mind; at worst, he would pursue and kill them then, first displaying the power of an eighth-rank Divine Martial to slaughter them.
If he could draw out that Grand Marshal Fushan, it wouldn't be a problem.
It was just that he had only just become a True God; although he had absolute confidence in winning, he might not be able to prevent his defeat and escape.
If it were in Wanghai City, it would be different; with the help of the sea-stabilizing pearl and the Cloud of Will, Fushan would surely die.
Such an opportunity might only come once; he was someone who feared trouble, so if he could achieve success in one fell swoop, that would naturally be best.
As long as Fushan was killed, the Huai Country would at least be stable for half a year.
By then, he would have enough time to Cultivate his Martial arts; even if he didn't reach the True Immortal level, he would at least have the strength to contend with a True Immortal.
At that time, he would truly be fearless and unafraid.
Five days later, at the Wanghai City Magistrate's office.
Qin Jiang casually practiced his boxing in the courtyard; he found that his own speed in Cultivating the Vajra Indestructible Body was actually not slow.
【Vajra Indestructible Body (Ninth Layer) (6100 / 200000) [93%]】
In just five days, the experience points had increased by a full hundred; one must know that this was the ninth layer of the Divine Martial, known as the True God, and the Cultivation speed naturally sharply decreased compared to the previous layers.
But even so, at this rate, it would only take two to three hundred years to Cultivate it to the Perfection Realm.
Don't think it's very long; compared to the three-thousand-year lifespan of a True God, it's only one-tenth of the time.
One must know that among the more than forty True Gods recorded, many, no, it should be all of them except for those few who were suspected of achieving the True Immortal position.
Among all the remaining True Gods, only a handful had reached the True God Peak, Cultivating their Divine Martial to the Perfection Realm.
Furthermore, without exception, they were all over two thousand years old.
Thump-thump-thump.
Footsteps sounded outside the courtyard, and a figure quickly walked in; it was a middle-aged man wearing the magistrate's clothes.
This person was Guo Xiu, the magistrate of Wanghai City, a tenth-rank Secret Martial Artist.
"Sir! Traces of the Huai Country's navy have been discovered in Mo Sea Bay!"
His voice was somewhat urgent; in normal times, even if traces of the Huai army were found in Mo Sea Bay, he wouldn't be so flustered.
With his strength as a high-level Secret Martial Artist, plus the city-guarding Divine Artifact, the sea-stabilizing pearl, he was enough to contend with ordinary Divine Warriors, and even the appearance of some Huai army could be suppressed.
But now it was different; the Huai Country had already planned a full-scale attack on the Xia Country, and the Huai army discovered this time was very likely just scouts, with the main army perhaps arriving soon after!
At that time, let alone him being able to contend with Divine Warriors, even true Divine Warriors would be in danger of losing their lives!
"Oh? Let's go take a look."
The two flew through the air and soon arrived at the beach in front of the bay.
At this time, a team of Xia Country soldiers was escorting ten soldiers in Huai Country military uniforms, and He Feiyun was interrogating them.
"Senior Brother, how is the interrogation going?" Qin Jiang asked.
He Feiyun shook his head, "They are very stubborn; I've tried many methods."
It must be said that as advance soldiers, each of them had extremely firm wills.
Qin Jiang nodded, "Leave it to me."
After speaking, he stepped forward directly, "Which one is the captain?"
A soldier next to him pointed to one of them.
Qin Jiang walked over, placed one hand on the captain's head, and then lightly lifted it upwards, a pale blue phantom forcibly pulled out from within the man's body.
He Feiyun, standing by, widened his eyes, Soul Snatcing! When did Junior Brother Qin learn such an evil art!
Qin Jiang's five fingers moved slightly, and black mist turned into threads that pierced into the pale blue Soul's head, and a series of images entered his mind.
In just a breath's time, he had already seen this person's rather exciting life; it turned out he was also a hall master-level figure from a small city, forcibly conscripted.
"Bang!"
Crushing the Soul body with a casual gesture, he looked in the direction of the Mo Sea, "Prepare for the enemy."
He Feiyun and Guo Xiu were stunned, somewhat not understanding Qin Jiang's meaning.
However, the next moment, the sound of surging waves echoed in their ears, and they quickly looked in the direction of the sound.
They saw giant waves rising above the Mo Sea, and black warships wrapped in a transparent film suddenly surfaced!
"Everyone! Follow me and kill!"
On the warship, a man in golden armor roared with a sword, radiating terrifying fluctuations around him.
Behind him, a white-clad figure stood still, her dark hair gathered behind her, tied up with a blood-red sword hairpin.
