I Grind to Martial Saint

”So it’s that intense?”

Han Yuan narrowed his eyes.

”Of course... Because a Spiritual Land’s structure is very special.”

”A special Isolation Space Array has to be used to isolate the Spiritual Land from the present world, forming an independent, small space.”

”Only by doing this can the Spiritual Qi accumulate and grow dense within the small space instead of dissipating.”

”Once we enter the Spiritual Land, it’s as if we’ve entered an independent space.”

”People on the outside have no idea what happens within. As long as you’re clean and decisive, no one will be able to trace it.”

”In fact, even if they do find out, it doesn’t matter. That’s just the rule of the Spiritual Land.”

”If your skills are inferior, you deserve to die.”

Ding Zihu said with a half-smile.

After all, everyone wants to cultivate at the Spiritual Qi eruption points.

Besides, the people entering come from different factions; conflict over the Spiritual Qi eruption points is perfectly normal.

Han Yuan’s gaze grew pensive.

To occupy a Spiritual Qi eruption point, you had to fight for it.

It would be one thing if there were many Spiritual Qi eruption points.

But if there were only two or three, the competition would surely end in a bloodbath.

Of course, this was exactly the kind of environment Han Yuan enjoyed.

He never feared a deadly struggle.

Besides, he didn’t think anyone there could possibly compete with him.

If one came, he’d kill one.

The two chatted on, and before they knew it, the sky began to brighten.

It was then that Yu Chengze stood up. ”The time has come!”

Hearing this, the people scattered about the clearing perked up and quickly assembled.

”Before you enter, let me make things clear.”

”You all know the rules of the Spiritual Land.”

”Once inside, your life and death are up to fate. If you want to back out, now is your last chance.”

Yu Chengze asked, as a matter of formality.

Of course, no one wanted to back out.

After all, even without competing for the Spiritual Qi eruption points, just finding a remote corner of the Spiritual Land to cultivate was far more effective than doing so in the outside world.

Seeing that no one spoke up, Yu Chengze wasted no more words.

He took out a Jade Seal carved from pale blue jade and pressed it gently into an indentation on the stone stele.

HUMM...

The stone stele suddenly radiated a five-colored Spiritual Light.

This Spiritual Light gradually formed a Light Gate large enough for a person to pass through.

”Get in, now!”

Yu Chengze barked.

He seemed to be under immense pressure, his eyes so bloodshot they looked as if they were about to pop out of their sockets.

Seeing this, the crowd surged into the Five-Colored Light Gate, each person afraid of being a step too slow.

They were all afraid Yu Chengze wouldn’t be able to hold on, closing the Light Gate and trapping them outside the Spiritual Land.

Han Yuan was the last one to enter.

The moment he stepped into the Five-Colored Light Gate, a peculiar sensation washed over him.

The world spun, and his head grew slightly groggy.

When he came to, he found himself in the depths of an ancient mountain forest.

This Spiritual Land was a mountain range in itself, stretching for over two hundred li.

The terrain was complex and steep, filled with spectacular views.

’This Spiritual Land really is something else.’

Han Yuan muttered to himself.

Now that he was inside, he could feel the dense Spiritual Qi that permeated the forest.

He took a deep breath, and the Great Demon Qi within him began to circulate on its own, refining the ambient Spiritual Qi.

’If I could cultivate here all the time... I’d be able to break through to the Innate realm in less than three years.’

Han Yuan mused to himself.

But this Spiritual Qi contained Spiritual Qi Storms that could throw a Martial Artist’s Gang Essence into disarray. They were exceptionally dangerous, and only an Innate Grandmaster could linger here for long.

He carefully scanned his surroundings.

Thanks to the abundant Spiritual Qi, the flora here was far lusher and taller than in the outside world.

The trees in particular, often over ten meters tall with dense, flourishing leaves, made one feel as if they had entered a primeval forest.

Due to spatial turbulence, everyone’s entry point into the Spiritual Land was random.

In other words, the twenty people who had just entered would be randomly scattered to every corner of the area.

Han Yuan had no idea where he was at the moment.

However, what he had to do now was simple.

Find the Spiritual Qi eruption points.

Although the Spiritual Qi anywhere in this Spiritual Land was several times richer than in the outside world, the eruption points were over ten times richer.

Han Yuan had no intention of passing them up.

’Ding Zihu did say that when a Spiritual Qi eruption point appears, it causes a huge disturbance that’s easy to notice.’

’I’ll lie low here and wait. As soon as the first eruption appears, I’ll head straight for it.’

Han Yuan made his decision.

Just then, on a towering tree next to him, a massive python as thick as a bucket, covered in dark green scales, silently appeared.

The great python slithered slowly down the trunk until it was directly above Han Yuan’s head.

Then, a vicious glint flashed in the python’s vertical pupils. It lunged from the branch, its cavernous maw wide open, intent on swallowing Han Yuan whole.

Given that the green python was as thick as a water bucket, swallowing Han Yuan in a single gulp seemed like no problem at all.

CRASH!!

Han Yuan’s figure flashed, and he dodged the python’s tearing bite.

The python’s massive body slammed heavily onto the ground, making it tremble.

The failed ambush seemed to infuriate the great green python. With a twist of its body, it charged Han Yuan like a battering ram.

Han Yuan sank his knees slightly and threw a simple, direct punch.

The punch was as fast as lightning, striking the great green python directly on its forehead.

BAM!

The great green python’s body went bizarrely rigid.

Han Yuan’s punch had directly blasted its head into pulp.

Yet the force didn’t stop there, continuing to spread down the python’s body.

POP! POP! POP!

The great green python’s body burst apart, section by section.
