Urban Powerhouse: Chaos Supreme

”Hmm.” Lin Mo nodded. Indeed, this should be a sect’s palace, and to build such a grand palace, the sect behind it must have been formidable, with at least a Nascent Soul Stage elder guarding it.

”After reaching Divine Force, I’ve been pursuing the extreme of Martial Arts, so I’ve traveled through mountains and rivers, read many ancient Huaxia books, and inadvertently discovered this place fifteen years ago. I also obtained many books from which I researched some unique cultivation methods.”

Fang Tangjing walked towards the grand hall as he slowly spoke. Even if the two walked normally, each step covered hundreds of meters. Outside the palace was a square paved with heavy stones, and many large cracks had appeared on it. Surrounding the square were twelve hundred-meter-long stone pillars, each requiring three people to wrap their arms around.

Numerous intricate secret patterns were carved on these pillars, emanating an ancient and heavy aura.

Spell-Dueling Platform.

Lin Mo instantly recognized the purpose of this square. The twelve stone pillars bore arrays, connecting nature’s spiritual energy to form a barrier. It was generally used within the sect for competitions among disciples.

The two entered the hall, which was even more vast.

”Sit.”

Fang Tangjing casually sat on a broad wooden chair.

”Is this the location of the Vermilion Bird Martial Arts Hall?”

Lin Mo asked.

”Yes, I’ve occupied the southern mountain peak. The spiritual energy here is relatively abundant compared to the other three peaks, so I’ve established the Vermilion Bird Martial Arts Hall here.”

Fang Tangjing said with a smile.

”The eastern peak is where the Green Dragon Martial Arts School is located, while the western peak houses the Qilin Martial Arts School, which belongs to the military.”

Lin Mo blinked, realizing that the Dragon Corps had long been aware of this place and had already stationed military personnel on one of the peaks for training.

”Aren’t you curious about the New Human Plan?” Lin Mo smiled lightly, his face suddenly becoming serious, ”The New Human Plan is about getting everyone involved in Martial Arts cultivation to improve the quality of all humanity.”

Lin Mo frowned, isn’t this about promoting widespread martial cultivation and immortal cultivation? ”Of course, this is just a perfect plan. Actual implementation is not easy, since the spiritual energy here is too scarce for Huaxia’s large population, and not everyone has a talent for cultivation. But we’ve understood this place for over ten years and can certainly cultivate Martial Arts Grandmasters in bulk, even Divine Strength Grandmasters.”

Fang Tangjing said confidently.

Although surprised by these matters, Lin Mo was not concerned, as his goal was to leave Earth and venture into wider worlds to seek revenge against Lang Ya Jun and Huo Shuixian.

”As you can see, the disciples I’ve cultivated have almost the lowest cultivation at Vigorous Peak, while the highest are Divine Strength Experts, which would be astonishing in the mundane world. But I know this is just the starting point of Martial Arts.”

Fang Tangjing lamented.

”Oh, Senior Fang, what is your current realm?”

Lin Mo asked curiously. The last time he saw Lin Mo, he exhibited the Divine Force realm, but this time, Lin Mo clearly felt Fang Tangjing was somewhat different.

”Star Wheel Realm.”

Fang Tangjing smiled lightly, ”Over the years, I’ve read many books within this palace, only to understand that there’s always a greater force out there. Those powerful figures can punch mountains apart, crush rivers and seas underfoot, shake Qian Kun, and change the colors of the heavens and earth. I’m merely a beginner entering Martial Arts.”

Previous life.

Lin Mo mainly practiced magic and hadn’t cultivated Martial Arts, but this life is different. He is cultivating both magic and Martial Arts. If cultivation is crossing a sea of life, then the physical body is the ship — only a sturdy ship can withstand storms crossing the bitter sea to reach the other side.

Magic and mana are the power sources — only strong power can propel the ship across the bitter sea, asking the Dao and achieving immortality!

”Senior Fang, could you explain some matters about Martial Arts?”

Lin Mo asked humbly.

Currently, his magic realm is the Innate Dragon Transformation Realm. Although his magic realm can quench the body, compared to a true Martial Arts Sect, the magic realm merely plays a supporting role.

As for the Martial Arts realm, Lin Mo estimated that he had just entered Divine Force.

”I invite you to my martial hall, is there really something I’m reluctant to let you see? To the side is the Scripture Collection Pavilion. Go inside and browse at your leisure. I haven’t returned to Vermilion Bird Martial Arts Hall for a while and need to handle some matters, so take your time.”

After finishing his sentence, Fang Tangjing’s smile froze on his face as his figure suddenly became blurred and vanished from the chair.

”Star Wheel Realm?”

Lin Mo shook his head, immediately walking towards a passage on the side. The passage wasn’t long, part of the garden corridor at the palace’s back. Walking straight ahead, he arrived at a side hall entrance in under ten minutes, with an unusual plaque bearing strange text.

Seeing these words, Lin Mo’s lips curled into a smile. It’s been a long time since he’s seen the Cultivation World’s script.

Indeed, these were the standardized characters of the Cultivation World, though there are also many native cultivation planets using some native scripts.

Pushing the door open, bookshelves towering over thirty meters were filled with all sorts of books, including miscellaneous types, cultivation techniques, alchemy, weapon introductions, etc., with at least hundreds of thousands of books. These books were protected by magic patterns preventing Divine Thought from probing their contents.

”Detailed Explanation of Martial Arts”

Lin Mo walked to a bookshelf, raised his head, and saw a book with a gold cover, gestured with his hand, and the book slowly flew into his hand.

”Martial Arts Basics!” The surface of this book occasionally glimmered with a golden sheen, showing it was protected by magic patterns, shielding it from dust and preventing Divine Thought from directly probing or understanding the text’s meaning.

This is also why Fang Tangjing could understand these books.

Of course, with this magic protection, the books appeared as good as new.

As Lin Mo flipped through the books and read carefully.

One could hardly feel the passage of time. Lin Mo’s sect was adept at magic, but he had never truly understood the Martial Arts systematically.

”Tsk, Divine Force is only the beginning of the Martial Arts path?”

”The physical body is the vessel, sustaining mighty will and energy; a powerful martial artist can fracture planets with a single sword or smash the firmament with a punch.”

Lin Mo frowned slightly. Martial Arts and magic share the same origin, though their theories differ. Magic users cultivate the soul, letting the Divine Soul roam the Void, breaking free from shackles and achieving immortality.

Martial Arts, however, emphasize body cultivation, claiming the body is the vessel to carry energy to shatter the barriers of time and space, achieving eternal life!
