Ye Qingzhou then thought of the True Words Nine-Character Seal: "According to the 'Nine Dragons Emperor Map', nine is the ultimate number, the limit of Emperor Realm powerhouses is to resonate with nine groups of Golden Talisman Secret Texts simultaneously, amplifying the Power of Dao to the limit that one can bear, thereby possessing the power to alter heaven and earth."

In comparison, he could barely resonate with three groups of Golden Talisman Secret Texts now, leaving much room for future improvement. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

"The path of cultivation is long and arduous."

...

Dolan Plateau, homeland of Sikkim.

The border area between Dongji Kingdom and India has fallen into a military standoff due to the emergence of the Insect Mother Ruins. Both sides have piled up heavy troops at the border, appearing ready to erupt into armed conflict at any moment.

While the massive armies gather, at the entrance of the ruins, the martial arts powerhouses from both countries stand in confrontation, even deploying Martial Saints to hold the line.

If it weren't for the Cyan Dragon Divine General personally unveiling a celestial canopy to conceal the Celestial Secret, the unusual activity here would have long been detected by the surveillance satellites of the Western Pole Kingdom and Europe.

As it stands, the major powers of the Western World still consider this as merely another border conflict between Dongji and India. After all, such events have been frequent in recent years, and the international community has become accustomed to them.

However, the concealing effect of the celestial canopy is limited. Once a Martial Saint level powerhouse strikes with full force, the secrets here will be laid bare.

Amid the crowd on the Indian side, a man and a woman, both towering figures, stand out like cranes among a flock of chickens.

The two of them are unusually tall, over three meters in height, with every part of their bodies radiating the 'beauty' aspect of a Buddha.

Especially the female figure, Saint Master White Bull, her figure full and her skin fair, round and graceful all over, has thoroughly grasped the profound truths of the 'Golden Brightness Supreme King Scripture', cultivating the Bodhisattva's thirty-two features and eighty characteristics.

Just one step away from attaining the Dao, achieving perfection in cultivating virtues, shedding the mortal coil, and ascending to Godhood.

Alongside her, Saint Master Gold Elephant's cultivation realm is equally impressive. 'Dragon Elephant Wisdom Skill' has been cultivated to its highest realm, possessing both Dragon Elephant Giant Power and Prajna Wisdom, likewise in the peak Martial Saint realm of the Heaven-Ascending Ninth Layer.

These two are already the strongest in India's martial arts community. Desperate to obtain the Insect Mother legacy within the ruins, they have launched an all-out effort, showcasing their determination.

Originally, the situation was at a standoff, no one willing to break the fragile balance in front of them.

Until a flash of light, and a petite figure was transmitted to the surface, appearing within India's national boundary, abruptly changing the situation.

Swish~

Lan Caidie, having just completed the trial given by the Insect Mother, safely returned to the surface, barely had time to rejoice in her narrow escape before the eyes of three Martial Saint strong persons suddenly locked onto her.

Instantly, an overwhelming mental pressure, as vast as a mountain or the sea, nearly suffocated her.

"Hand over the Insect Mother legacy!"

Saint Master White Bull and Saint Master Gold Elephant almost simultaneously made their moves, clearly having sensed the unique spiritual wave from the Kun Race on Lan Caidie.

Being merely at the Professional Fifth Rank Realm, Lan Caidie faced with the combined attack of two Martial Saints felt her heart jump into her throat in an instant, her body unable to react at all.

"She is a citizen of Dongji Kingdom, who dares to make a move!"

The Cyan Dragon Divine General darted in front of Lan Caidie, palms charged with thunder, feet stepping on electric light, Elemental Spirit Armor had already entered combat mode, striking a battle posture.

"Cyan Dragon, you've crossed the line!"

"That's right, this is India's territory!"

Saint Master White Bull and Saint Master Gold Elephant, seemingly convinced that they were in the right, believed firmly that the Cyan Dragon Divine General wouldn't dare to strike.

Thus, the two acted recklessly, Saint Master Gold Elephant glanced at Saint Master White Bull, secretly transmitting thoughts: "In a moment I'll strike to hold off Cyan Dragon, you go grab the person. As long as we obtain the Insect Mother legacy, even if it's not a complete Emperor Level technique, it will surely guide us to Ascension and Godhood, taking a crucial step forward. For this, even offending Dongji Kingdom is worth it!"

The land of countless India Temples, alas, not a single True God. They've either been hunted and devoured by Great Black Heaven or have been sealed and suppressed by it, making it difficult for them to emerge from the Spiritual Realm regardless of how much faith they garner.

Thus, though the number of Martial Saint strong persons in India is not few, reaching up to seven, rendering it the strongest force outside the five great powers. However, the issue is the seven Martial Saints of India, lacking both Divine Weapon Emperor Wu and divine backing, making their status very awkward.

What frustrates the seven Saints of India the most is that none of them possess a way to become Martial Gods!

The path forward in cultivation severed, making it the most despairing for martial artists.

"Good!"

Understanding each other perfectly, Saint Master White Bull clearly had the same plan in mind.

Just as the two were about to make a move to break the balance, a Sword Qi akin to a vast star river swept over, dazzling with radiant light, illuminating the vast expanse.

Clang~

"Who?"

With the warning from the power of Mental Imagery, Saint Master Gold Elephant suddenly felt a malicious wind from behind, immediately switching from attack to defense, activating Dragon Elephant Golden Body to meet Ye Qingzhou's move of 'Sword Swings the Star River'.

Crack~

The sharp Sword Qi vibrating the space, containing a trace of the Power of Shattering Vacuum, was not something even the highest-grade Dragon Elephant Golden Body could withstand, fracturing on impact.

The golden body shattered, Saint Master Gold Elephant cried out in pain, followed by golden Holy Blood spilling to the ground, nourishing all things.

"I,"

Ye Qingzhou came stepping through the air, with his Divine Sword Celestial Monarch Armor shining brilliantly in the bright sunlight, dazzling to the eye.

The blow just now disturbed the celestial canopy, nearly breaking the Celestial Secret shrouded over this place, exposing the secret of the Insect Mother legacy.

Though he did not reveal himself, that peculiar power of Mental Imagery, as if empty of everything, allowed Saint Master White Bull and Saint Master Gold Elephant to recognize Ye Qingzhou's identity despite themselves.

"Celestial Sword Ye Qingzhou?"

"Are you crazy, attacking us like this? Aren't you afraid of drawing attention from external great powers and triggering another war between nations?!"

With his Dragon Elephant Golden Body broken, Saint Master Gold Elephant could no longer maintain his dignified demeanor.

Ye Qingzhou, stepping forward bravely, with his Celestial Sword in the glow of the blazing sky, shone brilliantly.

Having just painted a line with his sword stroke at the border between the two countries: "Whoever crosses this line, dies."

The Indian side found themselves compelled to remain restrained, their seven Martial Saints devoid of the kind of power backing or divine lineage that Ye Qingzhou possessed.

Having retreated to the camp with the Cyan Dragon Divine General, Lan Caidie looked complexly at Ye Qingzhou, clinging tightly to her delicate fists: 'I have obtained the Insect Mother legacy, and although it's only a part of it, it's enough to step into the Martial Saint realm. One day, I will stand shoulder to shoulder with Ye Qingzhou again!'
