Chapter 269 Beast Refining Blood King! (1)
The Kingdom Defending Jade Seal was a special treasure that was classified as a soul weapon.
A weapon that could only be controlled by an Essence Soul!
With it, he could shrink the Yu Nation’s Void World territory to inches and mobilize the Yu Nation’s fate to protect himself. He could also take a wisp of the nation’s mental will and kill his target through the jade seal.
This target could be someone from an enemy nation, or a monster from the Void World. The only exception was it could not be a citizen of the Yu Nation.
For this reason, the stronger the dynasty, the more citizens there were, the stronger the strength of the Kingdom Defending Martial Sage.
When the Kingdom Defending Martial Sage became powerful, he could not only stop the monsters in the Void World, but also suppress the criminal organizations and evil forces in the country.
Even though he could not kill the citizens using the Kingdom Defending Jade Seal, he could still suppress them by directly targeting their souls using the power of his Essence Soul even without soul skills.
Once the suppression of the Martial Art True Intent was triggered, all martial artists in the middle and lower ranks would have to kneel.
The same went for Essence Souls. Once activated, even an expert in the top ranks could be easily suppressed.
This had nothing to do with true essence, martial arts, or the physical body; it was purely a suppression of the soul.
Therefore, if there were no other factors interfering, the dynasty and the Martial Sage would form a good cycle.
With mutual help, they would become stronger individually.
But things are never perfect
Putting everything else aside, just the fact that the lifespan of a Martial Sage was limited to 360 years was a problem.
Condense a Divine Embryo and hatch an Essence Soul.
No matter how talented a martial artist was, they would be at least 70 to 80 years old when they reached this realm.
Even if they were only 60 years old, a Martial Sage would only guard the dynasty for 300 years at most.
In these 300 years, if no second Martial Sage was born, the dynasty would face a catastrophe when the current Martial Sage passes away.
The strange invasion of the monsters in the Void Realm.
Su Jing took a shortcut and accidentally extracted the Divine Defense Card.
He obtained an Essence Soul through the Divine Defense Card.
His pace was too fast. It would be too much to say that he had reached the peak in a single bound.
In some ways, Su Jingxing was now in the Transcendent-grade, which also made him a Martial Sage.
However, his physical body had not undergone a life-level transformation.
Although he had a transcendent body, his lifespan did not increase.
Therefore, Su Jingxing could not confirm whether he was a Martial Sage or not, nor could he be bothered to think about it.
He was still young. It was too early to talk about his lifespan.
How to stimulate the Essence Soul and release suppression that targeted the soul.
Coincidentally, Su Jingxing happened to have absorbed the memories in this aspect.
Strictly speaking, this ability to stimulate one’s Essence Soul and form a terrifying suppression was considered a soul skill.
It was a natural soul skill that every Martial Sage possessed.
Of course, Su Jingxing had no time to try it now.
He had to verify that something might have happened to the Martial Sage of the Yu Nation.
His Essence Soul left his sea of consciousness. In its illusory state, it ignored the gravity and floated through the air, charging into the sky.
At the intersection of the overlapping of the Void World and Earth Star, there was a transparent glass belt known as the border membrane.
As long as the Essence Soul focused, it would be able to sense it and see it. Finally, it would expend soul power to pass through the border membrane and enter the Yu Nation’s territory in the Void World.
The second time he entered this mysterious space, Su Jingxing controlled his Essence Soul to move quickly to search for the Yu Nation’s Martial Sage.
He first headed west until he reached the edge of the darkness. Then, he headed south and similarly arrived at the edge of the darkness.
Further to the east, it shuttled all the way.
Finally, at the northeast corner, near the edge of the darkness, Su Jingxing saw a figure with his back facing him, motionless.
Yu Nation’s Martial Sage?
The last time he entered the Void World, Su Jingxing had never been to the northeast side.
This time, in his search, he had spotted this figure. If he was not mistaken, this person was the Martial Sage of the Yu Nation.
It was good news that the Martial Sage was fine.
Su Jingxing looked at the Martial Sage from afar and had no intention of greeting him.
Firstly, there was also a conflict between Martial Sages.
Especially the Martial Sages from the enemy countries, they all wanted to kill one another.
Even Martial Sages from the same country shared good and bad relationships.
The Martial Sages who held the Kingdom Defending Jade Seal were usually the strongest. If they wanted to rob, Su Jingxing could only choose to escape.
Secondly, Su Jingxing was unprepared.
His Essence Soul had come too easily and effortlessly.
If any abnormality was discovered by the Martial Sage of the Yu Nation, who knew what he would think?
Finally, Su Jingxing did not know the character of the Yu Nation’s Martial Sage.
To be safe, it was better for them to not meet.
With this in mind, Su Jingxing controlled his Essence Soul to penetrate the border membrane and return to the surface.
The Martial Sage of the Yu Nation was fine. He was most likely delayed by something during the ostrich creature’s invasion.
How many days had he been away? Without much thought, Su Jingxing returned his Essence Soul to his physical body’s sea of consciousness.
He continued to absorb Yue Dongliu’s memory fragments, trying to find some information about ultimate secret arts.
Unfortunately, other than the complete Full Moon Breathing Technique, the other ultimate techniques and secret arts only took up a small portion. Some of them even only had a few segments and a few lines of descriptions.
Such mental cultivation techniques and secret arts could not be deduced even with the Deduction Card.
Deduction Cards and deducing secret martial arts skills were built on orderly and basic martial arts knowledge.
In other words, one had to at least have a set of past theories that were logical.
Without any theories, how could the deduction be done?
Fortunately, Su Jingxing had obtained the complete Full Moon Breathing Technique.
No, to be precise, it was the genuine version of the Full Moon Breathing Technique!
The Full Moon Breathing Technique he had obtained from the legacy stone tablet was also complete. However, Yue Dongliu had tampered with it and turned it into a pirated version.
Leaving behind three legacy stone tablets was Yue Dongliu’s deliberate plan.
The information imprinted on the stone tablets–the military manual, the secret heavenly art, and the Full Moon Breathing Technique had all been tampered with.
