Martial World's
Ch 195 - Prestige of the Saint Beast

…
Sky Fortune Kingdom, the Seven Profound Martial Houses.
At that moment, it had been a month since Lin Ming left Sky Fortune City.
It was a cold winter afternoon, and light snow plants graced the earth. The clouds had scattered, and the bright sun was high in the sky, slowly melting the soft snow and filling the air with cold humidity.
In the northwest corner of the Seven Profound Martial Houses, the deacon in charge of the Martial House Registration Office was lazing around in ennui, casually flipping through the pages of a novel.
Working in the Martial House Registration Office was quite boring. It was mainly recording when the disciples of the Martial House would go out for adventure and experience, or recording the time and location for the missions they were on. This is to ensure the safety of the students. Otherwise, if they disappeared for too long without adequate explanation, then the Seven Mound House would start an investigation.
As there were not many disciples from the Seven Profound Martial Houses who often went out to adventure or to experience the world, even the three or five disciples who came to enroll were considered many. This boring and tedious work was considered a dead end job with no possibility for future development; it was a job that powerful martial artists would not be humbled to do.
Sun Liang was a superior second-rate martial talent. Although he could not compare to a junior from a large aristocratic family, he was still so-so. Relying on his connections, he had logged into the Sky Fortune Martial House to cultivate for several years before just reaching the Viscera Training stage. After that, he became too lazy to practice and torture himself in the Great Seven Martial House Registration Office where he became a deacon.
The novel reached a satisfying peak. Sun Liang's expression could not help but change as he followed the rise and fall of the protagonist's fate. Sometimes she giggles, sometimes tense, but her mood is always engaged. Suddenly, he felt a faint light as the figure blotted out the sunlight.
Sun Liang thought that it was a disciple who had come to register for leave. He was somewhat dissatisfied as his good mood in reading the novel was disturbed. He looked up, and just as he was about to ask when this disciple was planning to go and where, he suddenly froze on the spot.
In front of him was a middle-aged man wearing a flowing white robe and carrying a long zither on his back. He was slender, and his thick brows were wise. He had a temperament like a cloud in the sun, and was simply an elegant existence.
Pahs.
Sun Liang's novel fell to the ground. Shaking, he stood up and opened his mouth to speak. His voice was dry as he said, "Martial ... Martial House Master …"
Sun Liang felt faint in the heart. Why was Seven Martial House Master Qin Ziya here?
Qin Ziya smiled. Naturally, he did not intend to bother with trifles like Sun Liang read novels during his work. He said, "A month ago, did Lin Ming record where he went here?"
Sun Liang quickly nodded. Not many people signed up. Lin Ming's status was unique, so he definitely remembered it.
"Let me see . ”
"O ... okay. ”
Sun Liang trembled as he flipped through the records, combing through the ordered files before finally taking them out. He thanked heaven that he did not find a situation where he could not find the record, otherwise he really wanted to hit his head on the wall and kill himself.
Qin Ziya glanced at the paper records and looked at the time and signature of Lin Ming. He frowned.
He will go on an adventure for two months, location unknown …
"I know . ”
Qin Ziya closed the file before turning around and walking away.
Lin Ming had already disappeared for a month. Although the record clearly states that he voluntarily went on an adventure and experienced the world, Qin Ziya felt that there was something strange about this matter.
Lin Ming had only offended too many people. It was truly an unwise decision to go out and have an adventure during this period of time.
Once his existence was leaked, he could even face a fatal disaster.
Not only that, but there were no good areas near the Sky Fortune Kingdom to go out and adventure. Going anywhere would be inferior to the rapid cultivation within the Seven Profound Martial Houses. Even the Seven Great Killing Array had their doors wide open for Lin Ming; where could he find a good training location outside?
The only thing that the Seven Profound Martial Houses did not have was an actual killing and death situation. If Lin Ming wanted to experience this, then he could join the army for a while. But Qin Ziya had already requested the military, and Lin Ming had yet to join them.
This made Qin Ziya's heart filled with doubt. Just what was Lin Ming doing?
The reason that Qin Ziya had returned this time was to prepare for the upcoming Inter-fraction Assembly Tournament.
Two months from now, the Seven Profound Valleys would summon the core disciples of the Martial House from all the nearby countries and hold a martial meeting.
Martial meetings happen every three years. At that time, the core disciples of all countries would gather together and drink tea while appreciating and comparing martial arts.
This was the assessment of the core disciples of the various countries, but also the appraisal of the Martial House itself. Even Qin Ziya, who rarely cared or worried about the internal affairs of the Martial House attached great importance to this assessment.
When Lin Ming had passed down the Seven Profound Decree, Qin Ziya had taken advantage of that time to provide many benefits to Lin Ming. He hoped that Lin Ming would be able to quickly grow in a short period of time and develop, shining with radiant glory at the martial gathering.
If the result was good, then not only would he receive the reward as a core disciple, but even the Martial House Master would receive the reward.
The most precious gift was the Heaven Opening Pill.
The Heaven Opening Pill was a magic medicine that a Houtian realm master would take when they tried to break into the Xiantian realm. It would remove the rotten Houtian air within them, wash their muscles and marrow, reproduce a Xiantian-like state that would allow them to return to their natural state, he said, and finally stepped into the Xiantian realm.
No matter how amazing one's talents were, they would still have to take a Heaven Opening Pill to enter the Xiantian realm of the Houtian realm.
The difference between the Houtian realm and the Xiantian realm was the Xiantian breath within a person. With this, one's soul would enter into a state of calm, and they would be able to communicate with Heaven Earth Yuan Qi. They can use their souls to understand the wisdom of the world and use their true essence to move the power of heaven and earth.
When the baby is still in the mother's body, they will rely on the umbilical cord that transports blood to breathe; this is the Xiantian breath.
After the baby is born, they change their breath from their mouth and nose. Inevitably they would inhale the rotten Houtian air, and there would be no Xiantian breath.
From Houtian to Xiantian, one had to cleanse oneself of the worldly roots and turn their Houtian breath into a Xiantian breath.
To do this, one had to wash their muscles and marrow and reproduce the Xiantian breath with the Heaven Opening Pill!
In theory, it could be said that a naturally peerless martial talent could rid the Houtian air of their body through their own strength, and there was no need to rely on a pull to step into the Xiantian realm. But this is just a theory. The truth is that no one has ever managed to achieve this.
The materials for the Heaven Opening Pill were too hard to find. Even if they were all collected, there was still a small chance that there would be a failure during the refinement of the alchemy pill.
Seven Profound Valleys would refine a batch of Heaven Opening Pills every three years. In the end, they would have around 20 or 30 pills.
More than 20 pills was not enough to be divided among so many disciples.
The rules of the Seven Profound Valleys stated that the Heaven Opening Pill could only be rewarded for a peak Houtian master with outstanding talent. Even if this master took the Heaven Opening Pill, it did not mean that they had to enter the Xiantian realm.

Qin Ziya's talent could already be considered heaven defying. He started cultivating at the age of 20, and by the age of 45 he had reached the peak of the Houtian realm. Once, he was also given the Heaven Opening Pill. After he picked it up he attempted to break through the Xiantian bottleneck. However, there was a problem that arose from within his Heart Sitar, and he had failed by just a single step!
Finally Qin Ziya had stopped half a step into the Xiantian realm. These years he had explored the deep valleys and heated up Zither's heart. Now, his Zither Heart had reached the stage of Great Success. He only needed the Heaven Opening Pill to attack the Xiantian realm bottleneck once more!
Every three years during the martial gathering, two Heaven Opening Pills were rewarded. One for the core disciples, and one for the Martial House Master.
Only the first place is appreciated!
Of course, a core disciple had to reach the peak of the Houtian realm before he could receive this reward.
If their cultivation was insufficient, then it would be futile for them to take the heaven-opening pill.
For a core disciple, other than the Heaven Opening Pill, there were also many other rich rewards. For example, high-level human step treasures, high-quality pills, core planting methods, and other great items.
Qin Ziya of course wanted to obtain the Heaven Opening Pill, but he knew it was hopeless for Lin Ming to take the number one spot; it was just a dream that was too far away. The Seven Profound Martial Houses of the Sky Fortune Kingdom were powerful, but compared to Huoluo Country or the Eastern Sun Country, they were still very lacking.
However, just because they can't get first place this time doesn't mean they can't next time. If they can't next time, then they can try time after that. Lin Ming was only 15 years old. He would be able to participate in a total of 3 martial encounters.
Even if Lin Ming failed these three times, if he could make good progress, it could be considered Qin Ziya's merit.
But Qin Ziya did not think that when he returned, Lin Ming would already disappear for a month, his location unknown.
…………………………
Southern Wilderness, Blackwater Swamp –
The chase between Lin Ming and that little fire brat had lasted for over an hour!
At the time of this hour, the two of them had already fought several times, but no one could benefit.
Lin Ming only had about 30% of his true essence left in him. With such a long time he had been flying as well as the high intensity battles he had fought, despite his strong blood vitality and he had the 'True Primal Chaos Formula' adding to it, he added, he won't be able to last much longer.
Like this, his true essence would be completely depleted in another hour!
In comparison, that little fire brat had no weaknesses or flaws in true essence. The reason for this was because his cultivation was much more profound and profound than Lin Ming, and also because that little fire brat was not a human, but rather a Flame Essence. A Flame Essence grows forever, and will not be extinguished.

A Flame Essence grows forever, and will not be extinguished.
Lin Ming became increasingly anxious; he could not continue like this!
If he stopped to fight, he would still not win. If he was delayed long enough, then the true self of the Fire Worm Shaman would catch up.
If he continued to escape, then he could last at most another hour. After which, after his true essence was exhausted, the real Fire Worm Shaman did not need to come; even that little fire brat could kill him!
It was as if he had already fallen into a dead end …
No, as long as he was alive he had a chance, he just hadn't thought about it!
Cool out!
Lin Ming's breathing became even more even. His mind had entered a state similar to the realm of refined martial intent. He must find a way to get out of this calamity!
At this moment, 600 miles away from Lin Ming, a middle-aged bald man in black robes sat cross-legged on the Heavenly Wind Eagle with a cold expression. This person was the Fire Worm Shaman, Chi Yue.
He had already ascended the Heavenly Wind Eagle to chase for more than an hour while his Fire Essence avatar diverted Lin Ming. Even so, he was still 600 miles away.
However Chi Yue was not worried. He was fine waiting for his prey to exhaust themselves and consume their true essence. As long as this continued for another hour, he would almost win by default.
But the strength of this prey was beyond his expectations. He was only at the peak stage of Bone Forging, but his combat prowess actually matched that of a Houtian martial artist. Not only that, but he was also able to fly, and his endurance and sustained fighting ability were truly terrifying!
"No matter what secrets you have in your body, they will all be mine!"
Chi Yue sneered. The goal was to conquer the Southern Wilderness. Nothing can stand in his way!
But at this moment, Chi Yue's smile suddenly froze as she instantly paled!
"This is .. This is Vermillion Bird!"
600 Miles away, Lin Ming's eyes were round as he stared at a huge red bird flying in the sky. Her mind was filled with an expression of disbelief; was this Vermillion Bird?
A legendary Saint Beast actually appeared in front of him?
