Chapter 75 - Targeting First-Grade
Chapter 75: Targeting First-Grade
“Yo, you discovered me so quickly?”
Su Jingxing arched his eyebrows and his consciousness reached into his palm space. He brought out ten Essence Energy Pills and kept them in his palm.
When the big white goose reached the slope and descended from the air, he tossed them gently.
“Brother Goose, catch.”
Su Jingxing threw the Essence Energy Pills.
“Ga! Ga!”
The big white goose’s eyes lit up. It swooped over and swallowed all ten Essence Energy Pills in the air.
Then, it landed on the flat ground that Su Jingxing had cut out, flapping its wings and crying out excitedly.
Strangers the first time, friends the second.
The last time Su Jingxing came, he had gotten along pretty well with the big white goose.
In the end, when he was eating the Essence Energy Pills to ease his fatigue, the big white goose flapped its wings and expressed that it also wanted some.
While feeling surprised, Su Jingxing happily fed it a few pills.
The big white goose liked it very much after eating it and asked for more.
Su Jingxing naturally satisfied it.
Great that it likes me, wonderful that it likes me.
When they get closer, the big white goose would probably be willing to follow Su Jingxing without needing an invitation from him.
Therefore, Su Jingxing was eager to see the big white goose and build their relationship.
Essence Energy Pills, he had stored a large pile of them.
In the beginning, he still had to rely on selling it to get money. Now, Su Jingxing was not short of money anymore.
Compared to the Essence Energy Pills, the big white goose as a Spiritual Pet was more important.
…
The big white goose that landed on the platform seemed very happy to see Su Jingxing again.
It opened and closed its bill, honking constantly.
Even though Su Jingxing didn’t understand, it didn’t stop him from guessing and making various gestures.
A man and a goose started a strange conversation.
In the end, after communicating for a long time, Su Jingxing really began to understand some of the big white goose’s cries.
Similarly, as a Spiritual Beast, the big white goose also understood some of Su Jingxing’s words.
This made the man and the goose rather delighted.
You call out while I gesture and speak, and we will continue to communicate without fully understanding each other.
In the evening, Su Jingxing decided to try to make the big white goose glow.
After half an hour of talking and gesturing, the big white goose finally understood what he meant.
A burst of silvery-white glow bloomed from its body and covered half of the slope.
It can glow without having to fall asleep?
Su Jingxing was pleasantly surprised.
He had, with a tentative attitude, wanted to see if the silver-white glow could be controlled by the white goose’s consciousness.
Unexpectedly, it could!
Brother Goose can also shine while awake!
This made things more convenient.
In his excitement, Su Jingxing took out the Nine Steps Trampling Heaven secret manual and flipped to the last page.
Whoosh!
Indeed, as he had guessed, there was a secret hidden on the last page.
Su Jingxing took a deep breath and carefully read the contents of the last page.
“Ga ga~”
The big white goose leaned over and stretched its neck, also examining the glowing page.
Su Jingxing couldn’t care less about it. He looked at the diagrams and ancient characters on the page. Holding his breath, he memorized every word with rapt attention.
The more he read on, the more serious his expression became. His pupils dilated and his breathing became heavier.
At the end, his heart was beating so fast that it was about to jump out of his throat.
It was not martial arts!
The hidden content recorded on the last page of the Nine Steps Trampling Heaven was not martial arts, nor was it a secret ability, a pill formula or an important secret.
It was a passage and a map.
The map showed the way to a land of peril that was not in the Yu Nation. It was in the north of the Yu Nation, in a dangerous region that separated two large countries.
The accompanying message was about the hazardous region and the perilous area within it.
However, what truly visibly moved Su Jingxing was one sentence inside.
“Although the treasures in the land of peril can help one enter the Transcendent-grade, do not go there without entering first-grade. Remember! Remember!”
What does this mean?
Firstly, there is a treasure in the land of peril that the map pointed to.
Secondly, this treasure can allow a martial artist to advance to the Transcendent-grade.
Thirdly, before reaching first-grade, one must not head there!
Transcendent-grade…
There is actually a realm above first-grade.
Transcendent-grade, transcending first-grade?
It was the first time Su Jingxing was learning that the nine grades of martial arts was not the end. There was an even higher realm above first-grade.
Transcendent-grade!
And the land of peril indicated on the map actually contained treasures that could allow one to advance to the Transcendent-grade.
The impact of this piece of information was too great.
Su Jingxing had asked the Ethereal Sword Immortal before, but she had no idea either.
Now, through the hidden content on the last page of the Nine Steps Trampling Heaven, he unexpectedly discovered this shocking piece of information.
If it weren’t for the fact that Su Jingxing’s soul power had been strengthened and his receptivity had been enhanced, he would most likely be at a loss right now.
Even so, his heart was pounding involuntarily like a drum.
Only after a long while did he calm down. Taking a deep breath, he placed the manual back into his palm space.
“The Transcendent-grade realm has existed since ancient times, but no one knows about it now. Is it because no one in the future generations has stepped into that realm?”
Su Jingxing fell silent.
“Ethereal Sword Immortal was unaware, perhaps because she came from an ordinary family.
“But those large factions that have existed for hundreds or even thousands of years should also know of the existence of the Transcendent-grade.
“Yet it hasn’t been spread, they must have selectively forgotten about it.”
After all, it was already very difficult to advance to first-grade, let alone above it.
If this sort of thing had been cut off for a thousand years, who would still remember that there is a realm above the first-grade.
Only by reading the relevant ancient books would one know.
“Of course, there is one possibility.
“That is that the Transcendent-grade real still exists in the present world, but few people know about it!
“As such, the public gradually forgets about it.”
Earth Star was huge, more than ten times larger than Earth.
Earth alone contained countless secrets that had yet to be fully explored.
Not to mention Earth Star.
According to what Su Jingxing knew, other than the Boundless Mountain Range, there was still a third of Earth Star that was in a desolate state.
In such a large territory, are there any Transcendent-grade powerhouses living in seclusion?
Su Jingxing’s heart raced.
Deep breaths, calm the mind.
Su Jingxing threw these distant thoughts to the back of his mind.
I have not even reached the first-grade, yet I’m thinking about the Transcendent-grade. It’s too unrealistic.
The contents of the Nine Steps Trampling Heaven had repeatedly reminded that one had to enter the first-grade before heading to the land of peril.
Then I shall advance to first-grade first!
As for now, I have to condense the Heaven Trampling True Energy before anything else.
After making the decision, Su Jingxing let the big white goose fly away from the empty space. Swallowing all the Spirit Accumulation Pills, he then began to attempt to break through to the sixth-grade.
Nine Steps Trampling Heaven referred to gathering all the internal force and strength in one’s body within nine steps. In the newly opened dantian, one would merge with them with the unique strand of vital energy and guide the worldly energy to eventually give birth to true energy.
In this process, absorbing worldly energy was the final step.
Before dawn arrived, Su Jingxing attempted the preceding steps repeatedly.
When the time came and Su Jingxing sensed the Yin and Yang energies in the universe surge and change. He officially launched his breakthrough.
He failed the first time.
He failed the second time.
The third, still a failure.
The fourth time…
…
The twenty-fifth attempt still failed.
The period of Yin Yang intersection was about to end.
Su Jingxing, who was completely immersed in his cultivation, was suddenly enveloped by a milky white glow that descended from the sky.
As the glow landed on his body, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind. He guided the vital energy in his dantian to revolve rapidly. Then, he absorbed and blended a wisp of worldly energy from this time period into it.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
Hu hu hu!
A strong wind seemed to be sweeping past his ears.
Within his withered and empty dantian, a silvery-black air current was successfully born as the vital energy, internal force, and worldly energy blended..
