Chapter 1590: Chapter 1591: Luo Shen Temple

"What is the Breath of Martial God?"

The words of the Heaven-Mending Stone aroused Su Chengyu’s curiosity.

Although Su Chengyu also followed the Martial Way, he was the type who practiced the techniques without seeking the deeper path.

The execution of swordsmanship and Sword Intent is still driven by Spiritual Energy, which ultimately all traces back to nature’s spiritual energy. Thus, although there isn’t much difference in the end result, Su Chengyu didn’t have a deep understanding of the Martial Way itself.

What is a Martial God.

There are many Earth Immortals in the world, but throughout history, the number of Cultivators who have reached the Earth Immortal Realm far exceeds that of Martial Gods.

This is completely opposite to the ratio of Martial Artists and Cultivators at the beginner stage.

In fact, after the Martial Saint stage, each increase in realm filters out a large number of Martial Artists.

The closer you get to the top of the pyramid, the bigger the gap between the numbers of Martial Artists and Cultivators becomes.

Of course, because ultimately reaching the Earth Immortal status demands too much from an individual, it makes the ratio of Martial Gods to Earth Immortals appear not so unbalanced.

If we could return to the era before the Age of Dharma Decline, when the numbers of Cultivators and Martial Artists hadn’t sharply decreased, this ratio difference would be even greater.

"The Breath of Martial God is similar to the most pure True Qi that a Cultivator exudes after entering the Earth Immortal Realm, it is the heart blood of common people, the very foundation of existence for a Martial God, it is their most important essence."

Listening to these words, Su Chengyu looked down at the shell in his hand: "Then how could it become the entry into the Luoshui barrier."

"That is probably related to the origin of these Ancient Clans."

Heaven-Mending Stone, clearly having discerned something, intentionally whetted Su Chengyu’s appetite by speaking in such a manner.

"Stop teasing, whatever you’ve sensed, just say it."

On ordinary days, Su Chengyu wouldn’t mind bantering with Heaven-Mending Stone for a bit, but being on foreign land, although the journey had been safe, nobody knew what might happen next, so naturally, Su Chengyu dared not be careless.

"Alright. I was a bit curious before, what really is the significance of these Nine Ancient Tribes, and moreover, there are not a few Martial Artists who have become gods in this world, but yet there have never been new Ancient Clans birthed."

Upon hearing this, Su Chengyu immediately had an epiphany and looked at the shell in his hand: "Related to the Breath of Martial God?"

"Exactly, just as I said earlier, the Breath of Martial God is the very foundation of existence for a Martial God, logically speaking, it should share a life-and-death relationship with the Martial God. Once separated from the body, it would only be worse off than Ye Qingci who lost his Immortal Body. The creation of Ancient Clans started with these ancient Martial Gods actively stripping away their God-lacking breath. It’s a very creative idea, probably unthinkable even in the Immortal World."

Su Chengyu instantly understood the implication of Heaven-Mending Stone, it’s not that it couldn’t be done, but rather nobody wanted to do it.

Ye Qingci reversing the Heavenly Tribulation still left his Immortal Realm flawed, this method of stripping away the Body of Martial God would only bring about a situation worse than that of Ye Qingci, the cost could even be the fall of multiple Martial Gods.

However...

"What does all this have to do with me, after all, I just want to leave this place with Nan Zhi."

"That’s why I say you sometimes lack foresight, Su Chengyu your background indeed gives you clearer goals several times than others, and of course, your mind’s toughness also far exceeds that of ordinary people, but your biggest problem lies here, because you don’t stand high enough, you never see far enough."

Su Chengyu didn’t reply, he knew that his desires and pursuits could not compare to Long Xuan, let alone Ye Qingci who had distant aspirations. This was related to Su Chengyu’s own background, and he himself had never demanded too much from himself either.

Perhaps that is just the way it is. ChengYu could not learn the pure dedication to the Dao like Long Xuan, nor could he attain the calm state of mind like water that Qingci possessed. Regarding the potential limitation to a certain stage in his life, he never thought about changing anything.

"Let’s not talk about distant matters, just consider the current situation. Even if you managed to rescue Xu Nanzhi silently from the Luo Clan, do you think the Luo Clan would let you go?"

"They wouldn’t."

"Exactly, the more desperate the situation, the more likely one is to lash out. Your woman represents the hope of their entire clan. Currently, she is in the Luo Clan bargaining for you, buying you time to establish yourself in Capital City. But once she leaves the Luo Clan, you’ll face their frantic retaliation. What do you think will happen then?"

Su Chengyu didn’t speak but glanced at the shell in his hand: "Is this Breath of Martial God the means to completely annihilate the Ancient Clan?"

"It’s not a means, but it is indeed the core issue. If you are strong enough, naturally, you wouldn’t need to say anything and could just directly flatten the entire Luo Clan. But you aren’t, and if you want to ensure that the Luo Clan never recovers, what you can do is sever their current connection with the ancestral Martial God."

"What should I do then?"

"How would I know."

The blunt words of the Heaven-Mending Stone made Su Chengyu roll his eyes, unable to help saying: "Then isn’t everything you’ve said pointless?"

"Nonsense! That’s because in The Immortal World no one uses such self-detrimental methods against others. If there’s a way to sever the Breath of Martial God, I’m eighty percent confident I can deduce it and discover a method to extract the Breath of Martial God!"

Su Chengyu blinked his eyes, seemingly having thought of something else, he opened his mouth to speak: "The same method, would it be effective against the other Ancient Tribes as well?"

"Oh? Not so foolish this time?"

"I don’t ask for much, but I’m not an idiot?"

Su Chengyu rolled his eyes, and his figure had already stepped into the Luo Shen Temple. He could clearly sense the dozens of strategic joints nearby; any slight misstep could trigger the entire prohibition.

The shell enabled Su Chengyu to move around in the Luo Shen Temple like an ordinary person, but he was certain that as soon as he utilized his True Qi, he would immediately be treated as a foreign object by the entire temple, initiating an attack against him.

"Is this Luo Shen?"

Su Chengyu looked at the intricately carved statue in the center of the temple and spoke.

"It has the densest Breath of Martial God in this area. Unless I’m mistaken, it leads to the Luo Clan’s Blessed Realm, right at the main Array Eye."

"Seems so."

As if he hadn’t heard what the Heaven-Mending Stone had said, Su Chengyu gazed at the Luo Shen statue and softly opened his mouth.

If the god statue in the dilapidated temple of Luoshui Village resembled Xu Nanzhi by three parts, then the Luo Shen statue in front of him resembled her by at least seven parts, seemingly carved from the same mold.

Su Chengyu slowly walked towards the front of the Luo Shen Temple, noticing Su Chengyu’s unusual movements, the Heaven-Mending Stone immediately couldn’t help but speak out.

"What are you doing? That’s the core area; touching it rashly..."

Before the Heaven-Mending Stone could finish speaking, Su Chengyu had already arrived before the statue, and the moment he reached out, a magnificent light streamed across the statue.

Soon, a figure all too familiar to Su Chengyu appeared before him, and looking at the Divine Sense before him, he didn’t feel surprised but smiled and said.

"Nan Zhi, I’ve come."
