Martial Saint!

"A Dao that has never appeared?"

Qiang Erniang and the Fox Woman, among other Spiritual Weapons, were puzzled.

Mr. Turtle showed a gratified expression, gently stroked his beard, and said with a smile: "In this world, there are no completely identical Daos. The same category of Dao can split into countless paths due to the differences in personality, disposition, and comprehension of the cultivators. However, in general, the types of Dao in the world should be limited. The ancestors once said that there are three thousand Daos in the universe. But in reality, until the Great Wilderness perished, the types of Dao that Qi Refiners studied should not exceed a thousand.

This is just the tip of the iceberg of the rules of the universe, with two thousand more belonging to unobserved areas. If you give the Qi Refiners some more time, maybe there will be hope to exhaust the Grand Dao, or even find the path to becoming a god among them. What a pity."

Qiang Erniang said: "Judging from the profound and mysterious principles it contains, this kind of Dao seems to be somewhat higher-level than Life and Death, Reincarnation, and Time. These three are already top-level Daos; could it be that what he comprehended is even above the top level?"

Mr. Turtle was also contemplating.

After a while, he smiled and said: "The division of Dao levels by Qi Refiners is generalized. Even the same top-level Dao has differences. For example, the World Dao, which encompasses everything. Junior brother can use it to simulate and deconstruct Life and Death, Time, and this never-before-seen top-level Dao.

The actual upper limit of it may not just be considered top-level. Ultimately, the top level is just the upper limit divided by cultivators, but the true level of a rule can only be known by the universe itself. Perhaps an ordinary low-class Dao can also transform into a top-class Dao due to an astonishing person discovering its true potential.

The Dao is boundless, and we are all seekers."

Mr. Turtle grew increasingly joyful at heart.

Discussing the world without having seen through the profound rules that make up the world cannot unleash its true power. Therefore, in the Great Wilderness, everyone clearly knows that theoretically, the World Dao is powerful, but from some practical combat effects, the World Dao is just a conventional top-level Dao.

It is even inferior to Time, Life and Death, Reincarnation, Destruction, Yin Yang Five Elements... Brick by brick, blade of grass by blade of grass, this is what makes a vivid world!

The World Dao, theoretically, has no upper limit.

Other great Daos, such as the Five Elements, have mutual promotion and restraint, attribute suppression, but with the World Dao, as long as junior brother can comprehend enough Daos, he is invincible.

Amidst all changes, he can handle them. Mr. Turtle was increasingly looking forward to seeing how far junior brother could go?

Buzz—

Accompanied by a surge of mysterious Dao Yun sweeping forth, above the cave, the shadow of a giant tree surprisingly appeared.

Lu Chenzhou sat cross-legged on the bifurcation of the tree trunk, his gaze like a calm mirror lake, without the slightest ripple or emotion.

The giant tree behind him withered and flourished, his flesh and blood decay floated away like ashes, then sprouted anew as if blown by a spring breeze.

The Fox Woman said: "Is this Immortal Technique?" In her impression, only the Immortal Techniques of Heavenly Realm powerhouses and some innate divine abilities of certain races could achieve such resurrection effects.

Mr. Turtle praised and said: "No... but he integrated his self-created body-refining method with new comprehensive top-level Dao, achieving such an amazing effect."

Junior brother's newly comprehended Dao is not simple.

This unity with heaven and man has truly been worthwhile.

"Impressive." Qiang Erniang clicked her tongue in wonder.

A burly man with a tiger head couldn't help but applaud.

"Truly tiger-like!"

It's a way the Tiger Clan praises someone.

Lu Chenzhou stepped forward, and as the Dao Yun flowed beneath his feet, lotus flowers surprisingly bloomed in the void, paving a grand path through heaven and earth for him.

"Unnoticed, a year has passed in closed cultivation again."

Lu Chenzhou remarked with emotion.

After becoming a Great Grandmaster, time passes too quickly.

Especially when engrossed in studying Martial Arts.

"Congratulations to junior brother for comprehending a marvelous method."

"Haha, some minor gains."

Lu Chenzhou was in an excellent mood, having successfully deduced "Flowing Water Body" to a middle-level divine skill, completing two minor transformations, and the distance to a supreme divine skill was not far.

His Qi-Blood had smoothly broken through fifty thousand, reaching the end realm of a Great Grandmaster, with a significant increase in power.

From his breakthrough of the fifth level, it took only five years.

After this breakthrough, he had absolute confidence.

To sweep through all enemies under a Heavenly King.

The new method is too strong.

[Withering and Flourishing Body (Perfection)]

[Divine Seed·Withering and Flourishing, hidden in the Shangyang Acupoint

Withering and flourishing eternal, only I am undying.

Effect 1: Horizontal training eighth level...

...

Effect 9: Withering and Flourishing Technique eighth level, when the body suffers a fatal attack, it automatically enters a [Withering] state. In the Withering state, only a sliver of vitality remains hidden in the heart; after the attack breaks contact, it automatically enters the [Flourishing] state. In the Flourishing state, the body instantly returns to its original state.

...

The Withering and Flourishing Technique is the strongest method that Lu Chenzhou spent a year exhausting horizontal training skills to apply the Way of Withering and Flourishing in practice. It, when taken out alone, is enough to serve as a middle-level divine skill, driving countless horizontal training enthusiasts crazy!

```

With this method, as long as the heart and the brain, the two core areas, are not damaged, theoretically, other parts can turn to ashes and still recover instantly. Acupoints, cultivation, and physical strength will not be affected. Unlike a grandmaster regrowing a limb and needing to find ways to retrain to restore it to its original state.

His brain is protected by a Glazed Bone, and his heart is also a Glazed Heart... These are tougher than top-class divine weapons. So, it's not an exaggeration to call it an "Undying Body." Of course, the "Withering and Flourishing Technique" isn't unlimited, because each recovery consumes life essence, which is related to one's lifespan.

In short, it shortens lifespan.

Currently, using it once shortens life by a year.

Martial Artists already have short lifespans, so this is not the final trump card and cannot be used lightly. However, given his strength, the original "Soft Character Technique" was sufficient.

The Withering and Flourishing Technique is mainly to deal with situations like Unity of Heaven and Man, where the enemy deploys top-level power.

"By the way, Junior Brother, what is the latest Dao you've comprehended? Mind telling me?" Mr. Turtle asked.

Lu Chenzhou smiled and said, "Withering and Flourishing."

"Withering and Flourishing?"

Qiang Erniang and the others seemed thoughtful.

Lu Chenzhou explained, "This is something I comprehended by integrating the four Daos of 'Life,' 'Death,' 'Chaos,' and 'Order,' and it should be of the top class."

"Indeed, no wonder there's an intention of life and death."

"A great talent indeed." This tеxt wаs асquirеd frоm М|V|L0ЕМРYR.

Seeing Lu Chenzhou emerge from seclusion, Qiang Erniang hesitated for a moment, coughed, and asked softly, in a voice as thin as a mosquito:

"Lu Chenzhou, you should know that my master is Canglang Jun, originally a Grey Wolf of Langlang Mountain, who later stepped onto the path of Dao, practiced Spear Dao, supplemented by the Water Law, and finally stepped into the Eighth Realm, creating the unique 'Canglang Dao.'

In the Great Wilderness, in terms of spear skill attainment alone, my master is among the top ten! I have observed your insight, aptitude, and character as well. Would you be willing to take me as your Lifebound Spiritual Weapon? From now on, I will become your Protecting Dao Spirit Weapon, accompany you, never leave, and help you become a great power! With my guidance, your spear skills will advance by leaps and bounds!"

Seeing this, the Fox Woman became anxious.

"Young Master Lu, don't choose her, she didn't think highly of you at first, but I've believed in you from the beginning."

The Tiger Head strong man said, "Lu, I favor you too, but I only know saber techniques, you decide."

Mr. Turtle looked at Lu Chenzhou with interest. "Junior Brother, choose one. Having a Protecting Dao Spirit Weapon, the threats to your life in this human world are few indeed."

He then transmitted his voice to Lu Chenzhou: "Junior Brother, after reaching the Seventh Realm, you need to choose a Lifebound Spiritual Weapon. Once chosen, it cannot be changed. It will follow you for life, and with your cultivation enhancement, just provide materials, and it can independently upgrade. Only a Lifebound Spiritual Weapon has the hope of growing into a Supreme Treasure. Be prudent."

Lu Chenzhou pondered.

Nine-rank Spiritual Soldiers are divided into two types.

One is ordinary, and the other is a Supreme Treasure. The power of a Supreme Treasure is infinite, second only to divine artifacts. The Battle Realm, Heart Realm, Dragon Realm, the Mountain and Sea Tower, the Prison Tower, all these are Supreme Treasures, whereas Yuanbao Mountain is an ordinary spiritual weapon. It is said that on Yuanbao Peak, there is also a Supreme Treasure belonging to the ancestor.

He looked at the Tiger Soul Thousand Soul Spear in his hand.

He could feel that the spear shaft was trembling.

After a moment, he made a decision in his heart.

"Senior Spear, this spear has been with me for a long time, if I were to choose a Lifebound Weapon, I would definitely choose it."

Qiang Erniang was puzzled.

"Boy, do you know how difficult it is to forge a weapon into a spiritual weapon? Choosing me is just re-matching for a short time. Sigh, some things must be given up when necessary; the pursuit of the Dao is always like this."

Influenced by the master's character, Qiang Erniang has her own pride and thoughts. If she were to recognize a new master, it would surely have to be as a Lifebound Weapon, otherwise, it would feel like being a concubine to others.

Lu Chenzhou laughed and said, "I have confidence in promoting it to a spiritual weapon. If Senior Spear does not recognize a Lifebound, I would like to take you out to see the scenery of the human world."

Qiang Erniang was indecisive.

She valued Lu Chenzhou.

But she only wanted to be a Lifebound, so she could hope to advance to a Supreme Treasure by following Lu Chenzhou.

This is the obsession of most spiritual weapons.

"Young Master Lu, choose me, I don't mind, I'm not high-minded, take me with you." The Fox Woman seized the opportunity.

Qiang Erniang, making up her mind, looked at Lu Chenzhou: "If that's the case, then I won't become the Lifebound." After speaking, Qiang Erniang transformed into a long spear, flew to Lu Chenzhou's front, and the spear shaft buzzed with a sharp edge!

Lu Chenzhou grasped the long spear, feeling a cold, jade-like texture, as if it truly had life.

"Good spear!"

The spear shaft was heavy and substantial.

Amidst a faint, rippling sound, he could hear the sound of water flowing, waves crashing. Lu Chenzhou found himself in a water world, where a tall wolf-eared female general, clad in bright silver armor, stood wielding a spear.

The female general walked on water, dancing with the long spear; the spear point swirling with water flows, vividly weaving a peculiar creature with a wolf's head and serpent's body by tracing the spear's trajectory.

Time passed.

Lu Chenzhou seemed to understand something and unconsciously followed the spear dance, each move smooth and fluid as flowing clouds and water.

When the spear dance ended, the female general's figure dissipated.

Only a voice resonated in his mind. "What I've imparted to you is the essence of the spear technique I've crafted throughout my life, but you have already walked your own Spear Dao. You only need to take it as a reference, never become like me, always persist in your Dao!"
