Realm-Hopping Martial Master

"Indeed, a Venerable is truly different. Even without unleashing anything, the surrounding air seems to solidify. Without employing the Law of Power, I wouldn’t even be able to approach you!"

"Your comprehension of the Space Law doesn’t seem like that of someone who just entered the Venerable Realm."

"No wonder the old fellows of the War Alliance kept urging me to build up my foundation. They said the more you progress to the Venerable Realm, the more you realize how important previous accumulations are. Without a solid foundation, achieving the Saint would be exceedingly difficult, and even if it can be compensated for, it requires more Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures."

Zhan Feng released Jiang Shu, sizing him up with a broad grin, his eyes full of admiration and genuine happiness for his brother.

Zhan Yun stood aside, still as imposing as ever beneath the blue battle armor. When his cool gaze fell upon Jiang Shu, it softened slightly, his lips curling into a barely noticeable smile as he softly said, "Your aura is as steady as a mountain. No wonder they say the Space Law is extremely important among all laws and is a crucial standard for advancing to Venerable."

"It turns out that by comprehending and mastering the Space Law, all other laws have undergone a whole new transformation. Originally, they only evolved in the cosmos, but now they can operate within the world inside you, akin to having the laws reside within the body."

"Congratulations, Dao Brother, on attaining the Venerable Realm. Your future prospects are limitless."

Compared to Zhan Feng, Zhan Yun’s observations were more meticulous.

She was born in the War Alliance, and although she was only in the Tenth Realm, she was not unfamiliar with Venerables.

She understood better that Jiang Shu, even if he does nothing but stand there, already embodies the might of a Venerable.

Her admiration is often simple and direct, yet weighty.

Jiang Shu extended his hand and tapped on Zhan Feng’s newly regrown arm, smiling as he said, "Your arm has recovered well."

"Your aura is also more robust, and it seems the Venerable Realm is not far off."

Although reaching the Ninth Realm allows for Blood Rebirth, the reborn body can never match the original.

To fully recover, who knows how much time it would take.

For Zhan Feng, such recovery would only be harder.

Because he not only has to restore an arm but also needs to repair his broken foundation.

But it seems that not only has Zhan Feng’s foundation not deteriorated, but it has even gone a step further.

This brother and sister duo has terrifyingly solid foundations, and coupled with the War Alliance’s resources, they can achieve Venerable status in a very short time if they wish.

"I originally intended to accumulate a bit more, but I didn’t expect your progress to be so fast, so I have to catch up."

"Come, I brought a jar of good wine. Let’s not leave until we’re drunk today!"

Zhan Feng wrapped an arm around Jiang Shu’s shoulder and winked at Zhan Yun. The next moment, the three appeared in a different space.

On an antique stone table lay a bronze jar inscribed with a Star Map, exuding a deep, rich aroma that seemed to have settled over eons. Three cups made of the same material, dark in hue, released a fragrance as if condensed from myriad stars.

This is a special treasure of the War Alliance, the Ten Thousand Stars Brew.

Though the wine jar looks small, it is no simple object, capable of sealing space, and could contain an expansive ocean.

Without much small talk, Zhan Feng broke the seal clay, and a rich fragrant aroma filled the air.

He personally filled three cups with the dark-gold liquid, where tiny star particles seemed to flow.

"The first glass!"

Zhan Feng raised his cup, his voice resonant as a bell.

"Congratulations to my brother Jiang Shu for breaking through!"

"The path of the Venerable, the first step taken."

He tilted his head back, downed his cup in one go, letting out a satisfied breath.

Jiang Shu and Zhan Yun exchanged smiles and also emptied their cups.

The liquor poured down their throats like a river of stars, spreading warmth and vigor throughout their beings, nurturing the Venerable Dao Body.

"The second glass!"

Zhan Feng filled the cups again:

"To the great opportunity we gained in the Saint Tomb, granting us a greater chance at the Saint Realm."

"Venerable, for us, is merely the beginning. Our ultimate goal is the Saint!"

"The third glass!"

Zhan Feng’s eyes glinted with depth,

"To the War Alliance! May the War Alliance overcome its current crisis, with disaster and fortune intertwined, and perhaps progress even further in future tribulations."

After three rounds of strong drink, the atmosphere reached a warm peak.

Zhan Feng recounted the dangers after Jiang Shu fell unconscious, such as being intercepted by the Mechanical Clan’s Star Shuttle and the attention Jiang Shu received upon returning to the War Alliance from the Supreme Elder.

Jiang Shu shared his insights on stabilizing his Realm and his deeper understanding of the Space Law.

Zhan Yun spoke little, simply watching with a smiling gaze, occasionally interjecting with a few words that accurately pinpointed the crux of their exchange, displaying her profound understanding of the laws.

The conversation inevitably shifted to the plans of the Saint and the anomalies in the world’s collapse.

"It all seemed too smooth,"

Zhan Feng took a large swig of wine, wiped his mouth, and frowning unusually,

"It’s like the Saint directly fed the inheritance to our mouths. Even though the opportunity this time was massive, it makes us even more cautious."

"The more I think about it, the more something feels wrong, almost as if it was specifically arranged, waiting for us to take it."

Zhan Yun gently traced the cold rim of her cup with her finger, softly saying, "Whatever the Saint does, we surely cannot fathom."

"Perhaps it’s a helpless move out of desperation, or maybe there’s deeper intent, but one thing is certain: Dao Brother, you’ve now become the eye of the storm, destined to be the focus of everyone’s attention."

Her gaze turned to Jiang Shu.

Jiang Shu gently placed the cup down on the table, nodding slightly as he spoke, "I understand what you mean."

"The World Tree seedling is incredibly rare, and that black stone is even more potent."
