Ultimate strength, ultimate explosiveness, and ultimate defense.

This was what Han Yuan pursued.

Deepening one’s understanding of the Martial Dao could naturally increase combat strength.

But for Han Yuan, that was too slow.

Because that sort of understanding couldn’t be entered into the Skill Proficiency Panel, it couldn’t be rapidly improved through obsessive grinding.

Therefore, the most efficient method was still to find Martial Arts for Cultivation.

These past few days, Han Yuan had been painstakingly grinding the Innate Great Demon Skill and the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill.

As both continued to break through, his physique, speed, and strength naturally reached an absurdly exaggerated level.

The Eight Extremes Demon-slaying Saber and Giant Spirit Monument-Opening Hand he had previously cultivated could no longer fully unleash his physical power.

After all, both of these Cultivation Techniques had their own limitations.

Giant Spirit Monument-Opening Hand was a First-class Martial Art, yet Han Yuan felt it was now completely incapable of unleashing his full power.

As for the Eight Extremes Demon-slaying Saber, that went without saying; it was merely a Second-Class Blade Technique.

So he planned to use this opportunity in Jianghe Province City to exchange for a few Martial Arts that suited him.

First, naturally, was a Blade Technique.

Sabers, spears, staffs, and clubs were the most common types of Weapons, so they naturally had the largest number of Secret Manuals.

Han Yuan arrived at the Blade Technique section and saw at a glance at least several hundred manuals, further divided into many sub-categories. The sight was dazzling.

There were fast saber styles, Heavy Saber styles, long saber styles... there was even a dual-wielding style.

Han Yuan’s gaze fell directly upon the Heavy Saber style section.

He began to search quickly.

Mad Dragon Blade Technique... Sun-Cutting Blade Technique... Celestial Thunder Five Sabers...

There were many Heavy Saber techniques, and Han Yuan carefully looked through every single one.

He wanted to find the one that suited him best.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Han Yuan finally selected a Blade Technique.

Azure Heaven Annihilation Saber.

Han Yuan had to admit, he was initially drawn in by the Blade Technique’s exceptionally domineering name.

After reading the technique’s general outline, he knew this Blade Technique was perfect for him.

Because the conceptual core of this Blade Technique was the annihilation of all things. If it could shatter even the heavens, what couldn’t it cut!

Moreover, the various moves of this Blade Technique were immensely powerful, but they required the Cultivator to have a formidable physique to execute.

If one’s physique wasn’t strong enough, forcing oneself to cultivate it would not only diminish its power but could even cause severe damage to the body.

And this Azure Heaven Annihilation Saber wasn’t cheap, either, costing eight thousand Contribution Points.

However, for the current Han Yuan, that amount was hardly worth mentioning.

His current Contribution Points totaled over seventy thousand; he had more than he could spend.

After selecting a Blade Technique, it was naturally time for a Fist Technique.

As for Fist Techniques, there were even more to choose from. However, Han Yuan stuck to his philosophy, only selecting fierce and savage styles.

Before long, he actually found one.

Celestial Spirit Divine Fist.

Among all the Innate Boxing Techniques he had seen, this was the most ferocious.

Furthermore, one had to reach the Gang Essence Realm before they could cultivate it.

This was because the technique required one to condense their Gang Essence to its absolute limit, transforming it into an intensely destructive Fist Aura capable of annihilating any foe.

Cultivated to a deep level, a single punch could shatter mountains!

Han Yuan’s plan was simple.

’For the next few days, I’ll first cultivate the Azure Heaven Annihilation Saber.’

’Once I break through to the Gang Essence Realm in the Spiritual Land, I’ll cultivate this Celestial Spirit Divine Fist.’

Having figured everything out, Han Yuan went directly to the counter and exchanged for the two Secret Manuals.

In addition to that, he also went to the Spirit Pill Tower and exchanged for many Spiritual Elixirs.

He was flush with wealth now, buying hundreds of pills at a time without so much as blinking.

After finishing his errands, Han Yuan returned to the courtyard Jiang Henian had arranged for him and began to study the Saber Manual for the Azure Heaven Annihilation Saber.

This was an Innate Blade Technique, after all; even he would need some time to get the hang of it.

.....

Yangji Mountain.

This was a mountain range located over thirty li outside of Jianghe Province City.

He Jian, a constable from the Jianghe Prefecture Yamen, led a dozen or so Government Officials, moving silently through the deep, old-growth forest.

To become a constable in the Province Yamen, He Jian naturally had to have outstanding martial skill; despite his youth, he was already a master of Inner Qi.

Recently, the Province Yamen had received numerous reports, all of them missing person cases.

Furthermore, the villagers filing the reports were all from settlements near the Yangji Mountain Range.

In less than a month, over a hundred people had vanished.

People had even started disappearing from the nearby towns.

Such a bizarre case naturally caught the attention of the Province Yamen, which specially dispatched He Jian to investigate.

This He Jian was no ordinary man. After some investigation, one place aroused his suspicion.

Sanling Village.

It was the only village on Yangji Mountain.

Due to the steep and strange terrain of Yangji Mountain, it was impossible to build roads, so Sanling Village was basically cut off from the outside world, making it very mysterious.

He Jian suspected that Sanling Village might be connected to some kind of human trafficking ring.

That was why he had specifically brought men with him tonight, to head to Sanling Village and get to the bottom of things.

Walking for so long at night in a deep, ancient forest made it easy to get lost.

Especially in a place with terrain as complex as Yangji Mountain.

He Jian stopped, looking at the pitch-black old forest around them, and asked with a frown, ”Are you sure this is the right direction?”

”Chief... it should be right.”

”It’s just that... we’ve never actually been to Yangji Mountain before,” one of the Government Officials said in a low voice.

”Never mind... let’s just keep moving forward.”

”I hope we can make it there,” He Jian said, gritting his teeth.

In this situation, even having a map would be useless.

It was impossible to determine their position; they could only rely on their gut feelings and luck.

However, it seemed his luck was pretty good tonight.

An hour later, he stood on a hillside and, by the light of the moon, could vaguely make out a mountain village ahead.

Nestled in the desolate wilderness, it looked exceptionally sinister and eerie.

But a smile appeared on He Jian’s face. ”This trip wasn’t a waste after all.”

After ordering the accompanying Government Officials to be careful, he approached the ominous mountain village.

Since not a single house in the entire village showed any light, He Jian simply led his men straight in through the entrance.

The houses on both sides were pitch-black, their darkness somewhat bone-chilling.

He Jian was bold because of his skill and felt no fear. He led his men to the front of the largest courtyard.

If Sanling Village was truly involved with human traffickers, the village chief must be complicit.

However, He Jian didn’t know where the chief lived, so he could only pick the best-looking house.

Because, logically, the village chief’s residence would be better than the other villagers’.

He Jian had his subordinates wait outside. He scaled the courtyard wall alone and silently approached the house.

When he got closer, he was surprised to find that the wooden door of the house was open.

But this sort of thing could be considered normal in a village, so He Jian didn’t think much of it.

’In any case, this just makes my job easier.’

After carefully stepping into the house, however, He Jian frowned.

There wasn’t a single person inside.

He wiped his hand across a table; there was no dust.

’That means the house shouldn’t be abandoned.’

’So where did everyone go?’

He Jian began to search carefully, but he found nothing.
