Longevity Martial Arts: Starting from Inner Core Skill

Countless powers descended along the lines of faith, promptly converging into the Faith World.

Millions of believers amplified their minor faiths into something tremendously vast.

In a pure white world, endless faiths flowed, rendering the Faith World sturdier and more mysterious, akin to an actual Divine Country.

At the center of the Divine Country pulsed a mighty force.

Wang Sheng's power had traversed two worlds and crossed time and space, reuniting and coalescing in the Faith World.

Though a portion of his power permanently remained within the bodies of the believers, making them stronger, 95% of his power had successfully descended.

Since he had prepared in advance, this coalescence hardly took any time.

Within a few minutes, all the powers had merged completely.

The coalesced energy took the form of an orb, then continuously morphed, constructing a humanoid figure, which naturally resembled Wang Sheng.

Following closely was Wang Sheng's consciousness.

Wang Sheng opened his eyes, feeling the power of his incarnation, "Not bad, I should have no rivals in the Eighth Realm."

Despite this, he still had Yuan stay prepared.

After all, the situation at the Heavenly Saint Star was somewhat strange.

Concealing his true form in golden light, he controlled the Faith World to transport himself to reality.

This step, previously done countless times to eliminate distractions, naturally posed no substantial problem.

By then, Xia Yang had already received word of the True Saint's incarnation arriving through a Divine Country Fragment, and, along with the high-ranking members of the Lifeless Sect, awaited at the sect's headquarters.

They recited prayers with utmost devotion, seemingly uninterrupted by any matter in their veneration of their god.

Chants reverberated through the hall; despite the long wait, not a single person grew impatient.

For them, witnessing the descent of the True Saint was an immense honor.

At that moment, countless rays of light emerged in the hall of the sect.

A familiar aura appeared.

To outsiders, it might be unclear, but how could the followers who had received the True Saint's power not recognize it?

"Lifeless True Saint!"

"Lifeless True Saint!"

Not only did those inside the hall feel it, but countless believers who had traveled to witness the Sacred Presence felt it too, their faces alight with fervor as they cried out.

In the headquarters of the Lifeless Sect, Xia Yang was already leading the others in kneeling.

Just then, a gentle voice resounded in their minds.

"Rise, there is no need for kneeling, lift your heads!"

Hearing this voice, they felt as if bathed in the spring breeze, their entire bodies relaxed, and the fatigue in their hearts vanished instantaneously.

They instinctively lifted their heads.

Eager to see the True Saint, even though they knew it was just his incarnation.

...

The moment Wang Sheng's power incarnated from the Faith World, at the pinnacle of power in the Heavenly Saint Palace, the Human Saint opened his eyes.

He would be alerted by any power surpassing the Seventh Realm.

"At least Eighth Realm power has descended… Is it a powerful being from another world? But how did they descend?"

Although the inter-realm channel would fully open in less than a year, allowing beings of the Eighth Realm to pass through, wasn't it not yet time?

Regardless of the reason, the Human Saint remained highly vigilant.

Having truly fought, he knew just how formidable that Seventh Realm being was.

He absolutely didn't see him as a mere Seventh Realm being, but rather likely an incarnation of the Ninth Realm.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be that powerful.

This was also the main reason he had initiated the plan ahead of schedule.

As a top being of the Eighth Realm, he was acutely aware of the Ninth Realm's strength. If an incarnation of the Eighth Realm were dispatched, he would face tremendous trouble.

But now... it seemed that the powers of the Eighth Realm had already arrived.

He didn't know if this Eighth Realm entity was an incarnation of the Ninth Realm.

But—

"I can't afford to bet!"

"Darn it, just a bit more time would have sufficed, why couldn't they give me a little more, even just a few months!"

The Human Saint's complexion was poor.

He had prepared for a long time, and after encountering the Seventh Realm's incarnation, he had already sacrificed much, planning to expedite his scheme.

But just one step away, he encountered a threat.

"I must tear you to pieces!"

After a furious roar, the Human Saint calmed himself down.

"Prepare for the Three Saints Fusion, advancing into... the Ninth Realm!"

His words seemed to be muttered to himself and perhaps directed at the Heavenly Saint and the Earth Saint.

No sooner had he spoken than the forms of the Heavenly Saint and Earth Saint began to draw nearer to him.

His aura rose at an extremely fast pace.

But the Human Saint's heart was not joyful; he could have reached this step decades ago but held off, aiming for perfection.

If perfected, even if he just advanced into the Ninth Realm, he wouldn't be weak.

He could even immediately catch up to the Daojun, whose fame had resonated for a thousand years.

However, an unknown force appeared to possess the Ninth Realm too.

Crucially, this Ninth Realm figure was unpredicted by the prophet, compelling him to be even more cautious.

He hadn't considered sending the Heavenly Saint or the Earth Saint to probe the suddenly emerged Eighth Realm's details, but he was more afraid that his guess was correct.

If his guess was right, sending anyone would equal a one-way ticket, thereby losing his last chance at rebellion.

That was something he utterly couldn't accept!

"I hope my guess is right, advancing into the Ninth Realm, becoming a peer of the same tier, I will surely slay your incarnation!"
