Chapter 87 - 86 Divinity Realm

Chapter 87: Chapter 86 Divinity Realm

Yang Genshuo used “Blessings: Absorption” to transfer the essence of a certain chicken to Yang Shi, causing another surge in his physical strength, but unfortunately, due to the common quality of the chicken, he acquired no Talent.

“Only creatures of high-quality can bestow Talents upon absorption. If only there were more high-level Demon Beasts available…”

“However, the Incense is being consumed so rapidly… We’ve already used 240 points, and these days, apart from encountering the Demon Clan, there have been no extra Incense earnings. I’ve reserved 200 points for the next child, leaving 150 points available for our use.”

“We can still absorb five more Demon Beasts.”

Diligently calculating and summarizing his experiences, Yang Genshuo faced disappointment… In the following days, Yang Shi made several trips to the interior of the Devil Wind Forest but never found the generous cat companion again.

Because of this, Yang Shi was filled with regret and lamentation daily.

“Waking in the middle of the night, visions of deep discussions with my cat companion always flash before my eyes…”

“The Yang Family cannot be without our cat companion, just as the Xuan Stone Sect cannot be without the First Senior Sister!”

“Reflecting upon it now, although that cat companion was part of the Demon Clan, their charm was still quite palpable…”

Jiang Xiaobai pointed at Yang Shi’s head.

“My dear husband~~ what do you think of my charm?”

“My wife is naturally the most beautiful woman in the world.”

“Recently, I feel Xiao Shuo is quite lonely, and I’ve been thinking of giving him a brother or sister…”

“Let’s go, to the treehouse.”

With Time Acceleration, the Yang Family was accumulating their family power in Spirit Lake Manor.

After absorbing five Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer Demon Beasts, Yang Shi’s physical strength had greatly increased, doubling the power he had since returned from the Xuan Stone Sect. He now stood 1.9 meters tall, with a muscular physique, his body bursting with explosive muscles.

He was gradually approaching the mountainous build of Wu Wukai.

Moreover, he had acquired three Talents from the Demon Beasts: Thin Skin (Mortal Level), Antitoxin (Mortal Level), Drilling (Mortal Level).

He didn’t even know to what extent his power had reached by now.

During this year’s visit to the Loose Cultivation Market, he took a trip back to Qingshi Town.

“Master, I’ve come to practice swordsmanship with you!”

Upon hearing this familiar voice, Liu Wuheng’s heart jolted!

Four years ago, after his disciple had returned from the Xuan Stone Sect, his power had greatly increased. Liu Wuheng had had to use all the deepest skills of the older generation’s innate masters just to manage a draw.

Although he had also been continuously practicing martial arts these four years, his advancement felt increasingly slow… His body seemed to have exhausted its potential, and it was difficult to improve through martial training.

“You didn’t break through again, did you?”

“Breakthrough? Could I possibly advance to a Postnatal Master?”

“You lad, what’s this about a Postnatal Master… I mean doesn’t your body have any limits?”

“Limit? No! Is there a limit to the body?”

“Good, let me see how much you’ve improved, ‘Outer Heaven Flying Immortal’!”

Liu Wuheng wielded his sword technique with utmost ferocity, his physical strength certainly not matching that of the robust young Yang Shi, so he aimed to overcome him with a single decisive move.

In the past, when facing this technique from his master, Yang Shi had to use his whole mind to cope.

But now…

Slow!

Too slow!

Clang!

Yang Shi hadn’t even drawn his sword; he simply pinched the master’s Mid-Grade Magic Sword between two fingers.

“Don’t be overconfident!”

Liu Wuheng thrust his sword forward, bursting with True Qi.

The Sword Qi shot straight toward Yang Shi’s face along the sword.

Yang Shi suddenly ducked, dodging the Sword Qi.

Bang!

He punched and sent Liu Wuheng’s sword flying.

“Master, I yield to you.”

Liu Wuheng was shocked to see that Yang Shi’s feet had sunk into the ground, the hard ground as malleable as mud.

“Did you use a Talisman?”

“No.”

“How is that possible! How can a Martial Cultivator be so miraculous?”

“It’s a Talent I gained from killing a Demon Beast.”

“Talent? Talent… could it be!” Liu Wuheng seemed to realize something, pointing at Yang Shi’s feet: “The Martial Saint of Danai once told me that beyond the innate master, there’s a Realm, which he described as… the body can indeed reach Divinity!”

‘Divinity Realm!’

Yang Shi looked surprised: ‘Divinity Realm? Master, you never mentioned this to me before…’

“Hehe~ because 30 years ago, the Martial Saint of Danai told me he felt this Realm, but I’ve never seen it and perhaps it doesn’t exist? How could I have casually taught it to you?”

Yang Shi paused briefly in thought.

‘Divinity Realm? The ancestors said it was a Talent I absorbed from the Demon Beasts… is this the only way to truly claim Divinity?’

Yang Shi wasn’t sure, but he indeed felt different from other innate masters now…

“Where is the Martial Saint of the Danai Dynasty? Can he be found?”

Not to mention, it was rumored that the Martial Saint of Danai could open a storage ring on his own, a unique ability among martial cultivators, something Yang Shi had wanted to learn earlier.

“I don’t know… he never took me as a disciple. We met by chance, talked through the night, and after he passed on the Mingxin Technique to me, he left. I haven’t seen him for 30 years.”

“30 years, huh…” Yang Shi thought about it. It has already been 19 years since he apprenticed under Liu Wuheng, and they had long since lost contact.

“However, if you go to the capital city of Danai, you might inquire about him, as he has some connections with the Danai Decree Bureau.”

“Oh… what is this Martial Saint’s name?”

“Martial Saint.”

“I mean his real name.”

“Martial, Saint.”

“Master, are you being stingy not being able to scold your disciple under the guise of sword training, and deliberately teasing me!”

“His surname is Martial, and his given name is Saint.”

“…”

Yang Shi fell silent for a while, momentarily unsure of what to say.

The true Martial Saint.

After learning this information, Yang Shi noted it in his heart, planning to visit the capital city of Danai after the Loose Cultivation Market ended to inquire about Martial Saint.

Lately, Yang Shi didn’t know exactly what realm he had reached; he only knew he was still growing stronger with the aid of his ancestor, but… what direction was his future path in?

And his master had given him a path: the Divinity Realm.

“30 years ago, Martial Saint had perceived the next realm, and may have already achieved the Divinity Realm by now.”

“If one could physically reach divinity… perhaps one could really have the qualifications to fight a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage.”

“The bodies of the Demon Clan are also extremely strong. If that Daoist Cat hadn’t been so agitated when he came, sitting down for a chat would have been excellent.”

With these thoughts, Yang Shi casually strolled through the Loose Cultivation Market.

The low-grade materials and talismans here no longer caught his eye, but this was where he had first come into contact with the Immortal Cultivation World, and moreover…

“And this is the fruit of Brother Bai’s labor over so many years; it must be well kept.”

After Bai Heyu’s death, there were no Xuan Stone Sect disciples looking after the Loose Cultivation Market, and Yang Shi watched over it himself. Under his power… Qi Refining Stage cultivators wouldn’t dare to cause trouble here. They all had to properly transact.

“I announce, the contest of the Martial Saints of the Demon Lord’s contest in the Loose Cultivation Market is now finished! The champion is… Daoist Mo Zhong!”

A familiar contest, but the person announcing the champion had changed.

“Brother Bai never managed to win a championship.”

Yang Shi reflected momentarily, preparing to return to the teahouse to drink a couple of cups of coffee when… a blue and white deer, speeding extremely fast, arrived riding the clouds.

Elegant and free, just like a mystical beast!

It looked somewhat familiar.

At this moment, all the cultivators at the Loose Cultivation Market were mesmerized.

“To ride such a celestial deer, what kind of elegance must that elder possess…”

“Could this possibly be the mount of a Foundation Establishment Great Power?”

“Look… look! The celestial deer is descending, flying towards us!”

As the celestial deer grew closer, eventually landing in Qingshi County, Yang Shi finally recognized where the familiarity came from.

“Isn’t this the Yunhai Deer that was sold in Xuanbao Town four years ago!”

Back then, as Batman, Yang Shi wasn’t wealthy enough, only able to buy a Shadow Bat, but these past few years, the Yang Family Spirit Field had expanded, its revenue doubled, saving up spirit stones, but the Yunhai Deer had already been sold.

Unexpectedly, he encountered this perfect mount again in Qingshi County.

And the middle-aged man riding the Yunhai Deer… Yang Shi found him somewhat unfamiliar, but he was wearing the Xuan Stone Sect’s Daoist robe, obviously one of his own, a high-level Qi Cultivator with a powerful aura of spiritual energy.

He approached, giving a respectful bow: “I am Yang Shi, a disciple of Thunder Peak, may I ask which master you are under?”

The middle-aged man scoffed: “I know you, an Outer Disciple of Thunder Peak assigned to menial tasks, and you dare to claim affiliation with Thunder Peak?”

Hearing this, Yang Shi’s eyes narrowed.

“This senior brother, do we know each other? You haven’t told me your name yet.”

Yang Shi sensed that this person’s intention wasn’t good, but for the life of him couldn’t recall any interaction with this individual.

He could confirm that he had never seen this person in the Xuan Stone Sect.

“I am the head steward of the Sacrificial Hall, Ge Junyi, here to measure your Yang Family Spirit Field, as per the regulations of the Sacrificial Hall. The Immortal Clans of the Danai Dynasty are required to pay half of their Spirit Field’s yield as offerings every year.”

“Your Yang Family, thanks to Bai Heyu’s protection and favoritism, has never submitted an offering in the past 15 years. Today, I am here to reclaim the offerings due for these 15 years!”

“Now, lead me to the location of the Yang Family Spirit Field, and if you resist, I will capture you and take you to the Sacrificial Hall. Does your Yang Family have any objections?”

Yang Shi looked at the information on the character card given by his ancestor and immediately understood.

“Jade Dragon Immortal Clan, Spirit Plant Ge Family, isn’t that right?”

Ge Junyi sat on the Yunhai Deer, looking down from a high position. The watching loose cultivators immediately scattered, fearing they might be implicated.

Ge Junyi stepped forward two steps, sneering in a low voice:

“The best news I heard after coming out from seclusion is… Bai Heyu is dead.”

“Now, I want to see who can protect you.”

“Hand over the formula for the Grain Avoidance Cake, and I’ll spare your family’s lives.”
