532: Chapter 266: Combat Power Surge (Subscription Request)_4 532: Chapter 266: Combat Power Surge (Subscription Request)_4 It is said that currently, only seven people in the Formless Divine Sect can cultivate Vengeful Blade Intent to the Twelve Layers, allowing them to face ten thousand enemies alone on the battlefield.

Therefore, such a Magic Artifact still has to be personally sought at the Formless Divine Sect’s main mountain.

The Artifact Masters supported by Formless Mountain should be able to refine it, but he has to collect the materials himself.

So, Chu Xisheng simply took a trip to the nearby ‘Heavenly Inquiry Pavilion’.

This was the same branch of the pavilion located far away in the northwest, which had once helped the Blood Vengeance Blade Lord create the ‘Divine Intent Map,’ and the Ancient Market also had one of their branches.

Chu Xisheng spent seventy thousand Demon Silver here, buying a complete ‘Chasing Lightning Finger Map’ and a ‘Light Cloud Jump Complete Map’.

The ‘Chasing Lightning Finger Full Map’ was very common, but the ‘Light Cloud Jump Full Map’ was rather rare.

This was a Light Body Ascending Skill that everyone in the Formless Divine Sect needed to have, hence the ‘Light Cloud Jump Full Map’ was in high demand, expensive, and seldom seen on the market.

Chu Xisheng had wanted this map for a long time, but first, he lacked the money, and second, the ‘Light Cloud Jump Full Map’ had not been available on the market.

However, today, Heavenly Inquiry Pavilion just happened to have one.

Both maps were tattooed onto him personally by Wo Meiniang, and combined with the ‘Chasing Wind Saber Complete Map,’ they formed the so-called ‘Wind Cloud Divine Electricity Map.’

Once this War Map was completed, Chu Xisheng felt a tremendous, earth-shaking change in his own strength.

Not only did his ‘Three-Phases Martial Intent’ advance another realm, his Divine Wind Bright Mirror Blade, Phantom Cloud Trace, and Divine Thunder Truth Piercing Finger all increased in Divine Might by forty percent as a whole.

However, these enhancements did not reflect on his character panel.

Chu Xisheng’s system did not reject the Little Flat Head that coexisted with him but considered both the War Map and the Magic Artifact as external forces.

Ji Qianqian had been guarding Chu Xisheng all along, and when she saw him walking down from the second floor, she couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows slightly.

Her beautiful eyes shone with an exceptional light as she looked up and down at Chu Xisheng, “Congratulations, Flag Leader, for strengthening your Sword Intent once again.

This Miss Wo has truly exceptional skills.”

She knew that Chu Xisheng went to War Pattern Pavilion to fuse the three maps and create the ‘Wind Cloud Divine Electricity Map.’

However, an ordinary Wind Cloud Divine Electricity Map would not enhance the Three-Phases Martial Intent but would only further improve the efficacy of the three individual maps.

Only a highly skilled Tattoo Artist could sort out the virtual meridians of the three maps and seamlessly merge them into one, maximizing the potential of the ‘Wind Cloud Divine Electricity Map.’

This Wo Meiniang’s mastery in tattooing is not far from that of a top-level Tattoo Artist.

Ji Qianqian couldn’t help but express her admiration with ‘tsk tsk,’ “Flag Leader, your combat prowess has nearly surpassed mine.

Now, someone like Long Heng probably wouldn’t be a match for you either.”

Chu Xisheng could only offer a wry smile, “Long Heng has a Sixth-Grade cultivation and a combat prowess of Fifth Rank Lower, how could I possibly fight alone and defeat him?

Without the help of the Heluo Fish, I can at most hold on for three to five hundred rounds.”

Yet a hint of pride and confidence was present in Chu Xisheng’s eyes.

Even though he couldn’t defeat Long Heng, most Martial Cultivators with Sixth-Grade cultivation were no match for him.

Even when facing those Fifth-Grade masters, Chu Xisheng could hold his ground for a while and would not be easily defeated in an instant.

To have a combat power that crosses one and a half grades was exceedingly rare throughout history.

Qin Muge had accomplished this in the past, but that was after she reached Fifth Grade.

All her Magic Weapon Battle Maps were of the finest selection, and after a minor achievement in ‘Ten Thousand Gods Tribulation.’

At this moment, Chu Xisheng even had enough confidence to suppress Qin Muge at the same tier.

Although Chu Xisheng still wasn’t sure he could defeat Qin Muge quickly, in the end, he would mostly likely be worn down by her ‘Blood of Ten Thousand Ages,’ but he could also give her a thorough beating for three to five hours, leaving her heavily injured.

But this was all accumulated with money—

Martial cultivators need the trinity of techniques, wealth, and land; indeed, not one can be lacking.

First and foremost is the cultivation technique, for without it, what else is there to cultivate in martial arts?

Second comes wealth.

Without wealth, there are no secret medicines, no Magic Artifacts, no War Maps.

In a sense, wealth is equivalent to combat power.

Ye Zhiqiu had exceptional talent, yet due to a lack of wealth, she remained at the Upper Sixth Grade.

Just as Chu Xisheng was thinking about Ye Zhiqiu, he saw her carrying a heavy sword on her back, running towards him from a distance.

She had yet to master the Sky-controlling Technique, but her speed was no less than any Fifth-grade Martial Cultivator’s.

With each rise and fall, she could cross dozens of feet through the air, then like a soaring eagle, she landed in front of Chu Xisheng.

A hint of joy was present on Ye Zhiqiu’s face, “Junior Brother Chu, Senior Brother Sanping’s Pingtian Ship will soon be passing through East State.

I’m planning to take his ship to Formless Mountain.

Do you want to join me on the journey north?”

Not long ago, the Formless Divine Sect had identified Chu Xisheng as a ‘Blood Vengeance Candidate.’ As his instructor, Ye Zhiqiu naturally rose with the tide, earning a large amount of Merit and was likewise granted the status of Inner Sect Disciple.

She couldn’t wait to head for the Formless Divine Sect now, to take the Fifth-grade secret medicine and obtain more advanced methods of cultivation from the sect.

It was a pity that Qingxuzi had only stayed in East State for four days before returning to Formless Mountain.

At that time, Ye Zhiqiu had not yet finished handing over her instructor duties; otherwise, she would have left with Qingxuzi then and there.

Ji Qianqian, upon hearing the name ‘Sanping,’ her gaze sharpened, displaying a hint of wariness in her eyes.

Chu Xisheng also felt a touch of confusion, “The Pingtian Ship?

Could it be a Flying Ship?”

“Exactly!”

Ye Zhiqiu gave a slight nod, “Senior Brother Sanping is a True Disciple of our sect, and he possesses a Second-tier Flying Treasure Ship that can travel 20,000 miles in a day.

East State is a hundred thousand miles away from Formless Mountain.

If we travel by land, it would take several months, but if we take Senior Brother Sanping’s ship, we’ll arrive in just five days.

If you miss this opportunity, you might not have such a chance again for a while.

Moreover, Senior Brother Sanping is a True Disciple of our sect, his combat power is on par with those on the Earthly List, more than enough to ensure your safety.”

When Chu Xisheng heard the words ‘combat power on par with the Earthly List,’ his mind tensed.

At this moment, he noticed the unusual expression on Ji Qianqian’s face.

Driven by curiosity, Chu Xisheng couldn’t help but ask, “Instructor, what kind of person is this Senior Brother Sanping?

Is he that strong?”

He was now an Inner Sect Disciple of the Formless Divine Sect.

In theory, he could call Ye Zhiqiu ‘Senior Sister,’ but he still preferred the term ‘instructor.’

“Of course he’s strong.

He’s one of the few who have reached the Super Heavenly Pillar in our sect, a ‘Pingtian Holy Transmission,’ who has mastered the Pingtian Sword.”

Ye Zhiqiu shook her head, “But he is also quite an enigma.

He calls himself Sanping, always drawing in every major sect competition; he draws in chess games, never winning or losing; he also likes to compete in drinking, but the result is always neither a loss nor a win.

He’s on very good terms with Jian Cangfeng, as well as another member of our sect, collectively known as the ‘Iron Triangle.’ This time Zong Sanping came to East State specifically to find Jian Cangfeng.”

With a shake of her head, her tone imbued with disbelief, “Speaking of which, Senior Brother Jian is really fortunate.

Zong Sanping looks down on almost everyone in the sect, glancing sideways at them all, yet he shows considerable respect for Senior Brother Jian and wants to be close to him.”

Chu Xisheng arched his brows, thinking of his experience at the Haiqing Gang Headquarters.

He guessed that this matter was mostly Jian Cangfeng’s doing.

This Senior Brother Jian clearly had more depth than met the eye.

This Instructor Ye, her misunderstanding of Senior Brother Jian seems a bit great, doesn’t it?

Just then, Ye Zhiqiu caught sight of the waist of Chu Xisheng and looked intrigued, “Is that the pair of Golden Wind Jade Dew Sabers?

The ‘Strange Blade Demon Craftsman’ Li Tiangong’s Golden Wind Jade Dew Sabers?

The ones you bought from the Baqi Pavilion?”

“Exactly!” Chu Xisheng touched the pair of Twin Blades at his waist, “Instructor, you’ve also heard of these sabers?”

“Of course, I’ve heard of them.

This pair of sabers has caused the deaths of several people, and considering the individuals involved, they are quite infamous.”

Ye Zhiqiu let out a wry smile, “It seems you’re going to miss your chance with Senior Brother Sanping’s Pingtian Ship.

The ‘Strange Blade Demon Craftsman’ Li Tiangong is currently on the Pingtian Ship.

Apparently, he was invited by an elder of the sect to head to Formless Mountain to forge a blade for them.”

Upon hearing this, Chu Xisheng was startled, then let out a cold laugh, “I’m certainly not scared of him.”

He had not yet decided whether to take the Pingtian Ship north.

But he would definitely not flinch because of this man.

However, Ye Zhiqiu shook her head, “The problem is that on the Pingtian Ship, there are many Fifth and Sixth Grade Martial Cultivators, all from our Formless Divine Sect’s Inner and Outer Sect Disciples, taking Senior Brother Sanping’s ship for a shortcut to Formless Mountain to participate in the sect’s major competition.

Among them is even a member of the Shenxiu’s Ten Outstanding Sabers, ranked sixth.”

She was certain that Li Tiangong would only need to stir the pot slightly, promising to forge blades in person, and these people would definitely line up to give Chu Xisheng trouble.

As Chu Xisheng listened to Ye Zhiqiu speak, initially his reaction was indifferent, but upon hearing ‘Shenxiu’s Ten Outstanding Sabers, ranked sixth,’ a look of delighted surprise appeared on his face.

Recently, the (Evil) character in his reputation column had disappeared, making it impossible to earn Blood Essence Points, and significantly reducing his daily income.

Chu Xisheng was worried about this, but to his surprise, he might have an opportunity now to encounter the sixth ranked among the Ten Outstanding Sabers.
