Chapter 1526: Chapter 1174: Insight! The Secret of Shattering! (Monthly Ticket Bonus 1)

Divine Martial Country.

In the luxurious room of the embassy, Jiang Dali, with his burly figure, sat cross-legged on the bed, holding the thick-backed Eagle Saber horizontally on his knees, feeling the strange power within the saber, while recalling the final conversation about "Shattering the Void" with Ying Yuan before leaving the courtyard...

"Eagle Master, I am puzzled by one thing. Since you said the Eagle Saber once contained the lifelong martial arts experience of your father, Hero Chuan Ying, including the final step when he shattered the void on horseback, why did you choose to erase it in the end?

The feeling you give me is also like you could break through at any moment, yet it seems you cannot break through, a special feeling that is neither strong nor weak, why is that?"

"I knew Brother Jiang would ask this. Now I tell you, shattering the void is not necessarily a good thing, at least I am unwilling to take that step. Once, I relived the splendid life of my late father through the Eagle Saber, equivalent to an additional cycle of my father’s experiences. I had already taken half a step, but then I was so startled that I retracted. What startled me was how simple and terrifying that final step to shatter the void was?"

"What exactly did you feel? Why were you so frightened? Could it be that the final step to shatter the void is like Dharma opening the heavenly eye, seeing something terrifying that shouldn’t be seen?"

"No, it’s not that. Shattering the void is just one of the ultimate paths in martial arts pursuit, like the realm we currently reside in, the Heavenly Human Realm, or the Returning to Truth Realm. Aren’t these also other paths?

In fact, I cannot describe the brilliance of the final step to shatter the void because no words can depict such a state.

So from that day, I chose to remain silent and completely forgot all martial arts, becoming a Living Buddha."

"So mystical and mysterious? Could it be that the Hero Ling Donglai of the past who shattered the void was also like this? After shattering the void, did they go to another place, making it challenging to return?

I once heard a rumor that when you were eighteen, your father used some supreme divine power to send the Eagle Saber before you, is this true?"

"That rumor is false. In those years, my father’s martial arts had reached a transformative state, no longer needing the Eagle Saber. At that time, he struck down Zhuo He with one punch and casually picked up an iron spear to pierce the Mongolian Prince Si Hanfei. When he finally rode away, he actually left the saber in the mortal world.

Later, my father encountered Song Tiannan, the Han disciple of the former Mongolian Grandmaster Ba Shiba, and used his palm as a saber to cut a small lock of hair, instructing it to be given to my mother.

My father could leave messages in the Eagle Saber and also had the ability to imprint his spirit in the hair. It was after I came of age that I learned of the situation through the lock of hair, uncovering the secret of the Eagle Saber!"

"I see, I never thought there would be such twists and turns... So what kind of realm is shattering the void, what kind of secrets can it touch, it’s something that can only be experienced and not expressed?"

"Everyone pursues shattering the void, but they don’t realize the best path is right under their feet, here and now?... In fact... this world might still have a place harboring the secret of shattering the void, the Ten Absolute Pass where Hero Ling Donglai once secluded himself!

However, unlike the underground temple of Jingyan Palace, the Ten Absolute Pass has no secret pathways for exiting.

Those from the Martial World who enter cannot come out unless they comprehend shattering the void; the last person from the Martial World to enter the Ten Absolute Pass was Blood Hand Li Gong.

But since entering the Ten Absolute Pass, he has never come out, and without shattering the void, he is presumably dead."

"The Ten Absolute Pass is rumored to open once every 13 years, but how long until it’s next opening?"

"The Ten Absolute Pass is exactly one year away from its next opening. But Brother Jiang, why risk... In fact... if you really want to experience the secret of shattering the void, there is another way."

"What way?"

"Kill me!"

"Eagle Master, you jest; however, such a joke is not amusing."

"..."

Thoughts rapidly gathered back from the reminiscing state like a tidal wave.

Jiang Dali’s piercing tiger eyes fell on the Eagle Saber in his hand.

A set of information appeared on the panel.

"[Eagle Saber]

Level: Grade 2 Divine Weapon

Weight: 173 jin, Length: Five feet four inches

Effect: Level 10 Heavy Blade: Unmatched in weight and sharpness, cuts through iron like mud and slices through gold and jade as a sharp weapon;

Level 10 Saber Qi: Enhances the damage and length breadth of saber qi;

Level 10 Battle Intent: Holding this saber, battle intent is immeasurable, at any time in any situation, unleashing battle intent can consistently enhance strength by twentyfold, unleashing astonishing battle power;

Level 8 Transmission: Within the saber, there are numerous insights and experiences of Hero Chuan Ying on the "War God Chronicles." Those with fate can activate and learn the "War God Chronicles," and the extent of their understanding depends entirely on their personal insight and chance.

Description: The Eagle Saber was originally an ordinary thick-backed saber, made slightly heavier and sharper with the infusion of some Mystic Iron. However, because the wielder was the War God-like Hero Chuan Ying, throughout his life of battles, this saber gradually became more refined and transcended through numerous duels against other experts and Chuan Ying’s essence infusion, ultimately becoming a divine weapon.

It is rumored that after Hero Chuan Ying shattered the void, the Eagle Saber was passed down to his son, Ying Yuan. Further adorned with Chuan Ying’s spirit and the secret techniques of the War God Chronicles, it became a coveted treasure in the Martial World.

Yet through communication with the Black Wind Village Chief, it was revealed that this saber had always remained in the mortal realm. Chuan Ying’s spirit and the final comprehension of shattering the void had been erased, leaving only the inheritance of the War God Chronicles..."

"Simply by using this saber and fighting countless formidable foes, this originally famous weapon-level saber comparable to the Dragon Slayer Sword gradually grew into the renowned Eagle Saber of second-grade divine weapon level. Chuan Ying truly lives up to being the only one after Ling Donglai to shatter the void..."

Jiang Dali secretly marveled, a brilliant essence light gathered by his Primordial Spirit Power shot into the Eagle Saber, perceiving the information of the War God Chronicles recorded by Chuan Ying within.

If the War God Temple’s "War God Chronicles" relief sculptures were standalone Martial Arts secret manuals, where each sculpture, once comprehended, rapidly increased Martial Arts proficiency with prolonged viewing.

Then the "War God Chronicles" recorded within the Eagle Saber was a fully elaborated version that thoroughly unravelled all obscure and incomprehensible parts, assisting rapid comprehension and mastery, speeding Martial Arts proficiency increase.

In simpler terms, one is an original standalone manual, requiring self-exploration to learn and continually increase proficiency upon mastery; if misunderstood, no amount of viewing yields understanding.

The other is a decoded version, more comprehensible, with increased proficiency upon comprehension.

At that moment, as Jiang Dali accessed the War God Chronicles information within the Eagle Saber.

Instantly, he felt a massive Star Map Compass seen within the underground maze of Jingyan Palace appeared in his mind.

Simultaneously, an unparalleled grand starry sky scene began to stretch across his mind...

The Eastern Azure Dragon Seven Stars - Jiao, Kang, Di, Fang, Xin, Wei, Ji - transformed into a great dragon spanning the heavens, with the Xin Star shining especially brightly.

The Northern Xuanwu Seven Stars - Dou, Niu, Nu, Xu, Wei, Shi, Bi - transformed into a Xuan Turtle spreading across the sky, with the Dou Star emitting a notable black glow.

The Western White Tiger Seven Stars - Kui, Lou, Wei, Mao, Bi, Zi, Shen - transformed into a ferocious White Tiger, with the Kui Star emitting a striking white light.

The Southern Vermilion Bird Seven Stars: Jing, Gui, Liu, Xing, Zhang, Yi, Zhen, transformed into an all-red Vermilion Bird, with the Gui Star glowing a vivid red.

Left Azure Dragon, Right White Tiger, Central Vermilion Bird, Behind Xuanwu.

Jiang Dali sat serenely on the bed, seemingly radiating the brilliance of the four, the mysterious enormity of the universe, and the vastness of the starry sky, with a corner completely revealed in the War God Chronicles. He himself seemed to transform into a small universe, self-operating, fully unlocking his potential.

The inspiring frescoes of the War God Chronicles and each mantra quickly flashed in his mind—there were secret techniques for rapid regaining energy, peerless Qinggong for thousand-mile battles, methods for physical strengthening, techniques for defense consolidation, spiritual unity Dharma, and secrets for unlocking bodily potential...

The wonders of Martial Arts, this time, were akin to a goddess pursued for long yet unattainable, finally conquered under the guidance of a master, completely unveiling all mysteries and beauties for exploration and savoring, indescribable delights and inspirations.

Jiang Dali’s comprehension of the War God Chronicles deepened rapidly, with proficiency skyrocketing in this unique Returning to Truth Realm Martial Art, offering new insights into the perfect fusion of Destructive Demon Body and Golden Bell Unbreakable Body.

Within him, True Qi erratically coursed through the Du Meridian reversely and the Ren Meridian forwardly, sometimes switching, forming Innate Gang Qi under the profound regulation of the Mysterious Skill Secret’s essential cultivation technique, ever-changing and incredibly profound.

Penetrating clarity without hindrance, understanding thousands of differences at once...

Unknowingly, he was completely immersed in this deep-level comprehension and enhancement, so even the eunuch sent from the Imperial Palace with secret letters and schematics dared not disturb, anxiously awaiting inside the embassy.

...

The wind stirred the white day, the light swiftly fled westward.

In a flash, four days passed.

When Jiang Dali, invigorated in essence and spirit, emerged from seclusion with Martial Arts improved, news of Zhu Wushi’s whereabouts, as ordered by the Divine Martial Emperor’s intelligence agency investigation, was finally uncovered.

This too seemed like an urging for him to depart swiftly, rather than linger in this peaceful Imperial City.

"Old Zhu finally has a lead... Unexpectedly, he is there, no wonder I couldn’t find him even with the players’ mobilization..."

...
