Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey!

At the edge of the cliff, the cold wind was piercing.

Everyone arrived there, and Master Yushan looked at the Disciple leading the way and said, ”You saw Little Ming King come here with your own eyes?”

”Reporting to Master, I saw it with my own eyes. We originally wanted to follow him up, but the Ming King would not allow it, and even lost his temper at us, so we did not follow.”

Hearing this, Master Yushan frowned slightly and said, ”On this sheer cliff, where could he possibly go?”

Just as Master Yushan was weighed down with doubts, Chen Jie lowered his head to look at the ground and saw two clear footprints. These footprints led all the way to the edge of the cliff, but one of them disappeared half a zhang away from the edge, while the other vanished right at the cliff’s lip, as if the person had leapt off.

Chen Jie raised his head to look toward the opposite cliff and saw a thick guest‑welcoming pine tree there.

”What place is that?”

Chen Jie pointed at the mountain peak opposite and asked. Hearing his question, Master Yushan and the others turned to look. A Disciple immediately replied, ”Reporting to Fourth Master, that is Yudu Peak, which used to be Venerable Peng’s closed‑door cultivation place.”

Peng Yingyu said, ”Yes, Fourth Brother, that was my closed‑door cultivation place. What about it?”

Chen Jie said, ”Is there anyone still in there?”

Hearing this, Peng Yingyu said, ”There shouldn’t be anyone. After I left, Yudu Peak should have been abandoned.”

Liu Futong said, ”Originally, there were a few menial workers there responsible for cleaning. Although Old Peng had left, we still kept that place for him. But recently we pulled them all back. After all, with the court’s Army about to storm the mountain, it wouldn’t be safe for them to stay there.”

Chen Jie nodded and said, ”I suspect Little Ming King was taken hostage, and that he was transported away from here.”

Liu Futong was stunned. ”From here?”

Chen Jie said, ”If you don’t believe it, we can go over and take a look.”

Hearing this, Fang Guozhen said, ”Then I’ll go take a look first.”

As he spoke, he took a few steps back, then suddenly sprinted forward, his body like a Flood Dragon as he vaulted across the dozens of zhang of chasm in a single bound, his movement technique exceedingly graceful.

When Fang Guozhen landed and stood on the opposite cliff, Chen Jie said, ”Brother Fang, see if there are any marks left by a hook‑lock on the trunk of that tree opposite.”

Hearing this, Fang Guozhen immediately went to the big tree and carefully searched. The marks left by a hook‑lock were not hard to find; he quickly found a very fresh mark on the tree.

Then they heard Fang Guozhen shout, ”There is—there really are hook‑lock marks!”

Hearing this, Liu Futong’s gaze hardened. He leapt out and tapped once in midair; the next instant, a lump of earth condensed from Gang Qi formed under his feet. Stepping on this Gang Qi Mud Block, he vaulted to the opposite side in one bound. The entire process was extremely practiced.

Monk Peng, seeing this, said, ”I’ll go take a look too.”

As he spoke, he headed straight for the opposite side. However, he did not leap; instead, he stepped on the void, each step causing a Golden Lotus to form beneath his feet, bearing him across to the other side. This was Monk Peng’s Divine Skills, realized through his Martial God Domain.

Likewise, Liu Futong manifesting a Gang Qi Mud Block out of thin air, just right as a stepping stone—this too was a marvelous use of the Martial God Domain.

Seeing his two elder brothers use their Martial God Domains, Chen Jie also gained some insight. So this is the Martial God Domain?

Turning illusion into reality—whether it was Liu Futong’s Earth Domain or Peng Yingyu’s Buddha Domain.

Earth and Buddha were both illusory, not actually real, yet when the Domain was used, illusion could be made solid. That was the power of the Martial God Domain. Thinking of this, Chen Jie could not help but sigh: once one entered the Melt God Realm, it truly was fundamentally different from all the Realms below.

The greatest difference lay precisely in the Martial God Domain. Within one’s Domain, one becomes king. That was the might of a Domain.

Thinking this, Chen Jie did not delay. He took a step forward, traversing several zhang in a single stride—this was an improvement in Martial Arts brought by his physical qualities. In the next moment, he reached the middle of the chasm, and the gravity of the earth began to pull at him, a faint sensation of falling rising within.

At that moment, Chen Jie opened his Martial God Domain. Though it extended only a meter around him, it was enough. He suddenly roused Zhu Rong’s power within his body, and Zhu Rong’s power erupted.

Whoosh!

Flames suddenly spurted from beneath Chen Jie’s feet. Those flames carried a powerful recoil force that lifted Chen Jie free of gravity, allowing him to stand atop the void.

It was as if Nezha were standing on his Wind and Fire Wheel.

Chen Jie stepped on the flames and headed straight for the opposite cliff. His movements were not particularly elegant or graceful, but were already far beyond what an ordinary Molten Furnace Realm cultivator could compare to. This was a Divine Technique unique to the Melt God Realm.

Inspired by his two elder brothers, Chen Jie finally understood this small application of the Martial God Domain.

Stepping on his Martial God Domain, Chen Jie advanced. Although his usage was still crude, given time, if Chen Jiusi wished, he would definitely be able to use spiritual power to control the flames under his feet. By then, he could shape the flames into lotus flowers, or even into Wind and Fire Wheels.

That was merely a simple shaping function.

Thinking thus, Chen Jie had already reached the opposite side of the cliff. The distance of this chasm could be crossed by someone in the Melt God Realm relying on the power of the Martial God Domain, but those below the Melt God Realm, even at the Molten Furnace Realm, would need tools to get across.

Chen Jie arrived on this side, where Fang Guozhen and Peng Yingyu were both watching him.

Fang Guozhen came over, smiling, and said, ”Fourth Brother, your comprehension is really not bad. You managed to grasp this basic usage of the Martial God Domain after seeing it just once. Impressive, impressive!”
