129: Meeting of the Gods of War

Stepping out of the shield, the surrounding arcs of lightning seemed to have found a target, rapidly approaching Qin Jin.

A tingling sensation spread throughout his body.

Qin Jin raised an eyebrow, striding forward, moving away from the area where there were more Martial Artists.

"This Lei Yu Star is somewhat similar to the home of the Star God before his birth."

"However, the lightning in the sky of his home was caused by the unconscious overflow of power during the Star God's birth, whereas here, it is entirely due to the special nature of the planet itself."

As he delved deeper, and after he could no longer see any other Martial Artists around, Qin Jin took out the equipment he had prepared in advance from his spatial storage.

A tent equipped with an energy shield and a dozen warning devices that could be deployed nearby.

After setting up, the tent was pitched behind him, and Qin Jin sat cross-legged outside the tent, his gaze fixed on the sky above.

He had his own cultivation plan, and his decision to come to Lei Yu Star first was precisely because he wanted to make an attempt.

In the Spirit Ruins, the shaping of the Thunder Swamp was only one step away from completion.

In the Star Sea, there was no spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but a planet like this, full of lightning, was undoubtedly a unique place. He wanted to actively try and see if, when cultivating some closely related Laws, he would be affected in such a special environment, and whether he could gain some assistance.

Thoughts flashed through his mind.

Qin Jin's eyes slightly closed, and his consciousness sank into the Spirit Ruins.

In the eastern part of the Spirit Ruins, the ground had undergone substantial changes, with lightning surging like a pool. At this moment, Qin Jin shifted his spiritual power here, extending and shaping it, while cultivating this Law and carefully perceiving his own state.

"The speed of cultivating the True Understanding has not increased."

"However, the already formed part of the Thunder Swamp is significantly more active than when I was on the starship; there are indeed external influencing factors."

"Does this mean..."

"In the Star Sea, as I continue to cultivate the Heavenly Azure Method, in some environments with special attributes, I will be able to unleash stronger combat power?"

Thoughts churned in his mind.

Under Qin Jin's control, the text related to the "Lightning Marsh True Explanation" in the tiancang jade pendant was reflected in the sky of the Spirit Ruins, and the Thunder Swamp below began its final finishing touches. During this process, divine anomalies emerged; the lightning surging within the Thunder Swamp actually began to transform into various divine beasts and exotic forms, only to gradually shatter the moment they took shape.

During this process.

The arcs of lightning gathering around Qin Jin's body significantly increased, refining him from the outside in.

The vast Star Sea, boundless and endless.

In an unknown starfield somewhere in the Star Sea.

A supermassive black hole stood here, and everything that approached it was swallowed the moment it neared this mysterious celestial body, unable to escape. The entire starfield appeared extremely desolate.

Like a silent giant beast, devouring everything.

But at the same time.

Right at the front of the black hole, there was a figure, minuscule compared to the black hole, yet vast in the eyes of any other life form, standing in the Star Sea, his eyes slightly closed.

Gui Xu Martial God, Su Buqi, War God of Gui Xu!

He had black hair, and his face, compared to when he participated in the Lei Yu Star battle, appeared even younger, as if he was about to return to his youthful appearance. As he breathed in the Star Sea, his chest rose and fell, emitting a resounding, awe-inspiring sound that could propagate through the Star Sea.

Both of these actions, from a supernatural perspective, undoubtedly broke some constant rules within the universe.

Just then.

Su Buqi, War God of Gui Xu opened his eyes, looking towards the deep Star Sea ahead.

"Why aren't you focused on exploring the path ahead? What are you doing here?"

As his voice fell.

In the direction he was looking, a figure emerged, also standing in the Star Sea.

This was a man with the appearance of being middle-aged, dressed in a military uniform and wearing a greatcoat. After stepping into the Star Sea, he looked at Su Buqi, War God of Gui Xu, his brows slightly furrowed.

"It seems you truly harbor such intentions."

"Otherwise?"

Su Buqi, War God of Gui Xu's tone was relaxed: "If I don't shine brightly at my final peak, should I wait until I'm old and frail to regret it in secret?"

"That's not something I would do."

"Xi Tianqing, if you've come to dissuade me, I advise you to drop that idea early."

"You should know, you can't stop me."

"Tell me, why did you specifically come to find me?"

"I didn't come to dissuade you."

Xi Tianqing shook his head, his voice steady: "A junior I highly regard contacted me through the means I left for her."

At this point, his tone became somewhat subtle: "She wants to meet you personally, as she has something important to tell you."

"Why would a junior you regard come to find me?"

Su Buqi, War God of Gui Xu shook his head: "I won't see her."

"Listen to me first."

Xi Tianqing put his hands in his greatcoat pockets, looking quite casual: "The junior who contacted me is named Gu Huang, from Wu Yuan Academy. After she graduated, she went to the border battlefield to temper herself, and under the First Legion's training, she achieved considerable military merits."

"Some time ago, she broke through to the Congenital Realm and returned to Wu Yuan to take up a position, where she took on a student."

"That student is named Qin Jin."

"You should have met him."

Xi Tianqing's eyes lit up with interest: "She contacted me precisely because of her student."

"I heard his student also has a calligraphy scroll you gifted him. This time, she mainly wants to convey a message on his behalf."

"I've seen Qin Jin's information, and I'm quite curious why this young fellow chosen by the Star God would want to see you."

"Judging by Gu Huang's state when she contacted me, the matter seems quite important."

At this point, he paused slightly.

"Su Buqi, War God of Gui Xu."

"I've delivered the message. Whether you want to meet them or not is up to you to decide."

As he spoke.

Xi Tianqing's body, like flowing sand, slowly dissipated from the bottom. It seemed that his true body was not here, only a wisp of his consciousness had arrived.

Xi Tianqing.

If personnel from the Federal Military Department were present at this moment and heard this name, they would be extremely shocked and filled with respect.

Because.

This person was one of the incumbent Marshals of the Federation!

Federal soldiers were divided by legions, but above the legions, the Federal Marshals were the true supervisors of the Military Department.

In addition to his position as Marshal, Xi Tianqing himself was a Martial God!

Ten Thousand Tribulations Martial God, Xi Tianqing!

Only a Martial God would dare to call another Martial God by name, and only a Martial God could so quickly locate Martial God Su.

If Qin Jin were here, he would probably also be stirred. No one would have thought that the special channel Gu Huang mentioned was to ask another Martial God senior for help in making contact.

"Qin Jin."

In front of the black hole, Su Buqi, War God of Gui Xu softly uttered a name.

A hint of interest flashed in his eyes.

In the past, he had helped many young Martial Artists, but the path of martial arts was long, and those who truly had the qualifications to stand before him in the end were few and far between.

In the past, no one had ever proactively contacted him through other channels.

"An interesting young fellow."

With a soft murmur, he took a step, and his figure vanished from this place.

Lei Yu Star.

In front of the campsite.

Countless bolts of lightning accumulated around Qin Jin, completely enveloping him.

With a wisp of his consciousness perceiving the refinement of his physique, Qin Jin's vast majority of attention was focused on the cultivation of the Thunder Swamp.

At this moment.

As the last surge of power entered it, the entire Spirit Ruins trembled violently!

Amidst the trembling, above the Thunder Swamp, surging lightning evolved into various forms, some dragon-shaped, some auspicious birds. Currently, they only had the form but lacked the spirit, but in their evolution, their power also significantly increased.

After forming, these lightning-evolved divine beasts flew to various parts of the Spirit Ruins, spewing and absorbing lightning, refining the Spirit Ruins.

Qin Jin suddenly opened his eyes.

With a slight thought, spiritual power surged out, transforming into lightning in front of him, outlining and evolving, finally forming a thunder dragon that hovered there, accumulating power.

This was one of the techniques from the "Lightning Marsh True Explanation."

In the Great Wilderness, such divine beasts and exotic species were inherently powerful, and their own bodies were the most formidable weapons.

Lightning was already violent, and evolving into such a form further amplified its power.

"After today, the techniques used by my Heavenly Azure Method will no longer be common."

"The lethality far surpasses the past."

Thoughts flashed through his mind, and as Qin Jin waved his hand, the thunder dragon in front of him disintegrated.

"To be able to use such a technique at merely the Congenital Realm, it seems the gap in the mid-to-late stages of the Heavenly Azure Method is likely to be greater than that of martial arts."

Thoughts flashed.

Qin Jin looked around.

He was already very affinity with the lightning attribute, and now that the Thunder Swamp had taken shape, he had practically become a human lightning rod. Countless arcs of lightning approached him without needing guidance.

Qin Jin raised an eyebrow, and simply continued cultivating on the spot.

Over the next few days, Qin Jin cultivated ceaselessly, traveling to other planets of The Eight Planets to gain understanding.

The extremely cold Ice Plain Star, and the lightning-filled Lei Yu Star.

Besides these, among The Eight Planets, there was also the extremely hot and unimaginably scorching Blazing Sun Star.

The Gravity Star, where the gravity of the entire planet was unstable, with some areas having gravity tens or even hundreds of times that of a normal life planet, while other areas had gravity weaker than a normal life planet.

In addition, there were the Mud Swamp Star, the Deep Sea Star, the gaseous Balloon Star, and the truly life-averse Dead Silence Star!

The Eight Planets, each with its own unique characteristics.

Qin Jin experienced them all.

During this period, Qin Jin also sparred with many Martial Artists.

His direct feeling was that.

Even with his primordial power suppressed, his advantages had not diminished in the slightest.

From the very beginning of his martial arts journey, he had used lightning spiritual power to temper his body in the Great Wilderness. Later, with both lines progressing, his physique had undergone successive transformations. Unknowingly, he had already begun to develop into a well-rounded warrior.

Today.

On the Dead Silence Star.

There were no figures around. On this planet, there was simply no environment suitable for life. Congenital Realm Martial Artists could only come here after thorough preparation, and after cultivating for a short period using their own accumulation, they had to return to a well-equipped camp to rest.

The Breathing Method circulated, and an endless pressure came from all directions. Qin Jin concentrated his mind, and after diligently cultivating for a period, he stopped the Breathing Method, retreated sharply, and returned to the energy barrier area behind him.

He gasped a few times before recovering.

Just then.

As if sensing something, Qin Jin looked at a spot not far from his side.

There, an inky blackness rose in the void, forming a figure.

"Teacher Gu."

Qin Jin's voice rang out.

Seven days had passed, and the person who arrived was indeed Gu Huang.

"It seems you have completely adapted to this place."

Qin Jin nodded.

Gu Huang's voice rang out: "Next, I will teach you the combined secret technique I mentioned before."

"This secret technique is called the Seven Limits of Body Forging."

"This is an extremely rare body-forging secret technique, primarily aimed at the physique of Martial Artists, striving to temper the physique to its limit, expanding the 'container', and allowing Congenital Realm Martial Artists to gain more in their transformation."

"The Seven Limits refer to the eyes, hands, feet, bones, skin, blood, and — — — — the heart!"

Gu Huang's voice slowly rang out, giving a serious explanation.

She stood rooted, seemingly unaffected by the Dead Silence Star. As she explained, Qin Jin walked out of the camp,

re-entered the Dead Silence Star, and began to cultivate.

This was a set of combined secret techniques.

Each part of the body had a different method of tempering.

However.

The current Qin Jin, with his heightened comprehension and extraordinary accumulation, mastered this secret technique much faster than before. Soon, the specific level progression information was displayed on his professional panel.

Under Gu Huang's guidance, Qin Jin revisited The Eight Planets, leaving his footprints on each one.

He continuously exercised, cultivated the Seven Limits, and enhanced his physique.

This was an extremely pure form of cultivation.

Within The Eight Planets, communication equipment was also affected, and only specially modified ones could be used. Qin Jin completely stopped inquiring about other matters and immersed himself in his cultivation.

Progressing in purity, growing in cultivation.

The guidance of a Congenital Realm mentor was invaluable.

In addition to the Seven Limits, some of Qin Jin's issues in martial arts were pointed out, various details were adjusted, and his overall combat power steadily improved.

One month passed in a blink of an eye.

Today.

Everything in the camp had been packed up.

Gu Huang looked at him and softly asked, "Are you ready to leave?"

"Mm."

Qin Jin nodded.

Gu Huang said no more, but at that instant, she reached out and placed a hand on Qin Jin's shoulder.

The next instant!

With a flash of light, without any abnormality, their figures vanished from their original spot. When they reappeared, they were already standing in the Star Sea. Gu Huang stood beside him. Qin Jin could see that extraordinary power enveloped them, allowing him to survive in the Star Sea. Now, not far ahead, were The Eight Planets, intertwined and revolving, but the suppression of primordial power had completely disappeared.

Clearly.

Gu Huang had blocked it for him.

With the suppressing power gone, Qin Jin clearly felt that the primordial power within his body was more active than ever, flowing freely within his physique. But at the same time, a faint feeling of emptiness arose in his heart.

"This is..."

With a slight turn of thought, Qin Jin suddenly understood: "My physique has strengthened, becoming a wider container for primordial power, hence the feeling of emptiness."

Thoughts flashed.

Qin Jin slightly turned his head to look at Teacher Gu beside him.

"The Academy allows Congenital Realm mentors to select suitable talented students. Besides guidance, there are probably reasons related to protection."

"Within the Star Sea, there are also special places like The Eight Planets, but if young prodigy Martial Artists go there alone, no one can be sure what they might encounter."

Beside him.

Gu Huang's voice rang out.

"Qin Jin."

"Now, try to visualize The Eight Planets."

"Visualize planets?"

Waves rippled in Qin Jin's eyes.

Gu Huang's expression was calm: "The Eight Planets, as a wonder within the Eye of Exile, are born of the extraordinary themselves, and naturally contain extraordinary factors."

"Moreover, they have no consciousness, so the risk of visualization is relatively low."

"I'm having you visualize them mainly to familiarize yourself with the feeling of visualizing physical objects in the Star Sea, as preparation."

At this point, she seemed to recall something: "You will know later that our Martial Artists' visualization targets are not limited to extraordinary life forms."

"The Martial Dao Crystal often records extraordinary life forms because this type is easier for junior Martial Artists to understand and learn."

Upon hearing this, Qin Jin nodded.

He calmed his mind and focused. With a Congenital Realm Martial Artist protecting him, there was nothing to worry about. The Cave Heaven Treasure Technique in the Spirit Ruins activated,

the secret treasury was enabled, and at this moment, standing in the Star Sea, he performed the Visualization Method!

Just as he performed the Visualization Method.

In the Star Sea.

A figure appeared at some unknown time, stepping forward.

He did not conceal his form, but only after he drew near did Gu Huang notice him. Her gaze fell upon him, and her expression suddenly changed.

Seeing this.

The figure waved his hand, his gaze landing on Qin Jin.
