I Can See Your Combat Power

Chapter 904: Chapter One Hundred Ninety-Eight: Walking with Gods

“Legend has it that the Asura God Statue is a sacred object left behind after the Sea of Blood perished, the progenitor of all evil Qi in the world, with the power to repel evil. If Tang Luo can obtain the consent of the Xiushi Emperor from the Feitian Clan, there would be no need for medicinal stones to extract and cleanse the Blood Fiend curse from his body.”

Vimazhita, the Feitian royal family, the Asura God Statue. The words of Lu Ningxue undoubtedly opened another door for Tang Luo. After all, divine pills were hard to come by, so if there was another way, why waste resources?

Perhaps sensing the interest in Tang Luo’s eyes, Lu Ningxue spoke again, “I must remind you of one thing: though the Feitian Clan has inherited traditions from the ancient times and has not produced any strong beings beyond Fierce Realm for certain reasons, they are ultimately a powerful force filled with formidable individuals. Due to their secret methods, the Feitian Clan is naturally envious, especially intolerant of young prodigies. Young Master Tang must pay heed.”

In the world, many skills have no future path, or rather, their future path has yet to be discovered, such as Cao Family’s skill from Xiling, the Red Cloud Skill of the Du Clan, the Divine Seals of the Four Imperial Spirit Realms, the Shura Battle Technique of the Feitian Clan…

If it weren’t for the grudge against Yankong, it would have been ideal for the Longxi Alliance to send a greeting letter to the Xiushi Clan. But now, the situation has become complicated.

Every region’s power has its uniqueness. The Buddha Son Yankong is but one of the Four Little Saints in Longzhou, but in Zhongzhou’s Buddha’s Country, he is considered more esteemed than a common royal family, believed to be a Bodhisattva’s reincarnation, with supreme divine might.

Perhaps Tang Luo has a huge reputation in Longzhou, able to receive countless admirations, but in Zhongzhou’s Buddha’s Country, he would be an existence that everybody wants to strike down.

The Feitian Clan, as a branch of the Buddhist Sect, would never go against the will of the Buddha Son.

In that case, he cannot go about in Vimazhita using his own name.

After sending away Sun Jinfang and Lu Ningxue, Tang Luo issued an order to his Wind Media Department to collect information on the Feitian Clan in Vimazhita.

Although Tang Clan’s Wind Media Department was ignorant about the Feitian Clan at this point, once the task was issued, these Wind Media agents would surely present Tang Luo with a satisfactory answer.

Because within the cultural heritage of Wind Media, there was a famous dictum: “Six Medias for All.”

It means that if you want to contact a Wind Media agent from any region, there will be no more than six Wind Media individuals between you and them. This effect is due to the special nature of the Wind Media profession.

For instance, a Tang Clan’s Wind Media agent has established relationships within the Wind Media Department that include direct superiors to apprentices and partners, which would not exceed ten people. However, in the city, he would have at least fifty to sixty informants with different professions and identities scattered in every corner.

Apart from informants, there are also numerous freelance Wind Media who make a living by peddling information—like keen-nosed jackals and dogs, they are present wherever there is a stir.

Typically, a mature Wind Media agent, with informants and freelance Wind Media combined, would have relationships with at least one hundred individuals.

And this provides the basis for “Six Medias for All.” No matter the corner of the continent, Wind Media can obtain information from anywhere through exchange.

To illustrate with a simple example, if a Wind Media agent knows forty other Wind Media, and each of these forty also knows another forty, and so on, in just six extensions, you could be acquainted with any one of four billion Wind Media—an amount far exceeding the total sum of all Wind Media on the continent from ancient times to the present.

This is, “Six Medias for All!”

What Tang Luo needed to do was to wait quietly for the information from the Wind Media Department. In the meantime, he could prepare some trinkets….Yuanzhou

Middle Ying City, Xu Residence

The campaign to destroy Buddhism went on fiercely. Rumor had it that the Buddhist Sect had almost no power to fight back against the Heavenly Phoenix Sword Saint lineage, as the local clans had long been fed up with those fat, rich monks. With the approval and promise of the Xu Clan, the families of Yuanzhou became the most powerful assistants in the destruction of Buddhism.

On the contrary, the Xu Clan, which initiated the eradication of Buddhism, seemed superfluous in this vigorous campaign. Therefore, the Heavenly Phoenix Sword Saint took his Sword Sect disciples back to Ying City, only to be surprised to find that his unfilial daughter had become very popular in Ying City.

As soon as he returned to the city, several old friends teased him, praising his good fortune and his excellent way of raising his daughter, leaving him totally confused.

But he understood the hidden meaning in his old buddies’ words – they were eyeing his two granddaughters!

“Scram, scram! All of you scram! None of you think to train your offspring well, and only covet other’s peaches. My two nieces have already been entered into the Ying City ancestral temple and are legitimate external relatives of the Xu Clan. None of your illegitimate daughters are worthy!”

The Sword Venerables of Ying City, finding no way through Xu Feng, could only leave in displeasure. However, thinking of Xu Shuhui, who had already become intimate with the Sky Pivot lineage of the Xu Yang Clan, also felt a sense of urgency.

After all, Xu Biao only had his youngest daughter unmarried, and Xu Qingyue was not only the direct daughter of the Sword Venerable but also widely known in Ying City as the Qingyue Princess. Even if they were willing to marry off their own direct daughters, compared to the daughter of the Mysterious Moon Sword Supreme, they didn’t hold much advantage.

Lanshan City, Sect Head’s Residence

The Wind Media Department indeed did not disappoint, providing only a brief snippet of information and rumors, yet Tang Luo now was not completely ignorant about the ancient Buddhist clan, the Xiushi Imperial Family.

The Feitian Clan was a branch of the ancient Buddhist Sect, worshiping the Asura God and famous throughout the world for their Asura battle techniques, one of the strongest physical cultivation sects during ancient times.

Those who cultivated the Asura battle techniques, unlike the contemporary body refining techniques, subjected youth to the washing of Blood Fiend to temper their bodies rather than the modern martial way, which cultivates through energy diagrams and breath control. They only entered the doors of the Asura battle techniques after adapting to and gaining control over the Blood Fiend.

Therefore, many youths of the Feitian Clan either went mad or died from failing to withstand the Evil Qi.

After truly beginning their cultivation, the difference from contemporary martial arts wasn’t significant, although different in name, the essence was the same.

The first level was called Feitian, corresponding to the Mortal Realm.

The second level was called Great Feitian, corresponding to the Mortal Transcending Realm.

After a Great Feitian successfully comprehended the Asura God Statue and condensed an Asura battle spirit, they became an Asura.

Some particularly fortunate Feitians who awakened Asura divine powers while condensing their Asura battle spirit were revered as Asura Kings.

The most powerful of the Asura Kings in the Feitian Clan was Emperor Xiushi of the family, honored as the Rahu Asura, revered and worshipped by all members of the Vimazhita clan, residing in the royal palace within the Inner Virtue City.

As a branch of the ancient Buddhist Sect, Vimazhita was purely a realm of faith with a strict hierarchy. At the very top was the Xiushi Imperial Family, who claimed to be the descendants of the Asura God—representatives of the divine on Earth, the royal family of truth and justice.

Tang Luo truly didn’t understand how a bunch of losers who hadn’t even found their path could have the audacity to boast so grandly.
