Enlightenment: Beginning as a Disposable Warrior

At this moment, the fish-shaped jade pendant on the chest, which had been silent for days, lightly trembled, and a surprised voice came from it.

"Oh, the fourth Martial Momentum... Kid, you indeed have quite the talent in the Martial Dao, but having too many Martial Momentums isn’t necessarily a good thing."

"I humbly ask for guidance, Ancestor."

"Martial Momentum is the manifestation of a Martial Artist’s will. Compared to ordinary people, practitioners have much longer lifespans, but they are not endless. Furthermore, the lifespan of martial artists is far less than that of Three Religions Cultivators; time and human energy have limits."

"Moreover, one mountain cannot hold two tigers. For now, your spiritual power and will are still decent; you can still control and suppress multiple Martial Momentums. But once the momentums progress to a certain level, hidden dangers will inevitably erupt. Different Martial Dao wills are like fire and water; at best, the momentums will compete, damaging the sea of consciousness, leading to madness and loss of intellect; at worst, it will result in bodily death and Dao disappearance."

"Ancestor, is there a way to solve this issue?"

Su Mu furrowed his brows; the words of the Sun Family Ancestor poured on him like a bucket of cold water, instantly dispersing much of his joy from comprehending the Thunderbolt Spear Momentum.

Each Martial Momentum is a powerful force. If it is indeed as the Sun Family Ancestor said, then in the future, he may have to choose just one to cultivate, forgoing the rest, which is truly disheartening.

Moreover, Su Mu plans to integrate the Martial Dao of various schools to forge his own Martial Dao, abandoning the hard-earned Martial Momentum would also contradict the original intention of his Martial Dao.

"This is extremely difficult..."

Upon hearing this, Su Mu’s eyes lit up. The Sun Family Ancestor said it was extremely difficult, but not impossible, which means there is still a solution.

"But it’s not completely hopeless."

"Please, Ancestor, guide me through the maze!"

"In the Pre-Qin era, the First Emperor led billions of troops, millions of martial artists, hundreds of thousands of grandmasters, with countless great grandmasters in the Heavenly Human Realm sweeping across all directions, clearing the six unions. Subsequently, the Pre-Qin royal lineage used the Nine Tripods to create an eternal miraculous skill—the Jiuding Zhenshijing."

"This skill is worthy of being the ancestor of all cultivation. The Pre-Qin rose and fell, and most of the Holy Lands, Noble Sects, and Dynasty royal family’s rare skills emerged from the remnants of this skill. With the remnants, one could establish a Dynasty, Noble Family Holy Land."

"But when this skill was first created, not only was the Pre-Qin royal family seeking the elusive longevity, but also the First Emperor used it to suppress martial artists and cultivators across the world, to control the armies, solidify Qin Dynasty’s rule, and establish a thousand-year Imperial Dynasty."

"Within this eternal miraculous skill lies what you need; the solution to practicing both Three Religions and Martial Dao is something that inspired me..."

Su Mu was shaken upon hearing these words, his eyes filled with aspiration and fervor. Having traversed into this world for several years, he was quite stunned upon first arriving in Donglai County City, a metropolis with a population over a million.

A mere commandery city in a large county rivalled the grandeur only seen in peak Dynasties like the Tang Dynasty in his past life!

Donglai County is the widest land he has seen in this world, yet in such vast lands, it’s difficult to have more than thirty Great Cultivators coexist.

So the millions of martial artists, hundreds of thousands of grandmasters, and the unknown number of great grandmasters in the Heavenly Human Realm spoken of by the Sun Family Ancestor, what kind of earth-shattering epic must that be?

For the first time, Su Mu had a preliminary understanding of the power of the Pre-Qin and the concept of an ’Imperial Dynasty’.

"However, this isn’t something you should be pondering now, kid. The urgent matter is to think about how to quickly enter the Upper Three Grades; not entering the Upper Three Grades means you’re just an ant."

"As for now, you need not worry; just concentrate on your cultivation."

With that, the fish-shaped jade pendant returned to tranquility, quietly affixed to Su Mu’s chest. The Sun Family Ancestor clearly noted the fervor and aspiration in Su Mu’s eyes, pondering something unknown in his heart.

"Phew!"

Su Mu took several deep breaths. Only after the Sun Family Ancestor’s guidance did Su Mu realize the hidden dangers in his current cultivation path. Indeed, creating one’s own Martial Dao is easier said than done.

However, his will remained unshaken, instead becoming firmer. The Sun Family Ancestor’s words lit a faint lamp in Su Mu’s mind, giving him genuine confirmation of the feasibility of his own Martial Dao.

A seed of ambition sprouted in his heart.

In this world exists the Pre-Qin royal family’s creation "Jiuding Zhenshijing", such an eternal miraculous skill; successors can emulate it. He, Su Mu, possesses the Comprehension Panel and infinite potential!

The Pre-Qin lamp illuminates the path of his Martial Dao; an instant of insight clears the mind.

Buzz!

Su Mu’s Mud Ball Divine Palace and Dantian, the core of the sea of consciousness’s Dragon of Spiritual Power, and the pure Vast Qi kept burning.

A total of six hundred and ninety-nine strands of Vast Qi condensed into sixty-nine lamps of vast light, swirling around Su Mu, with each lamp like a star, crowning Su Mu amidst them.

Then these sixty-nine lamps of vast light subtly shaped into the character ’slanted moon, three stars’ in the void.

At Donglai County School academy, Donglai Scholar Gu Dongcheng suddenly trembled all over, his expression changing drastically. He was in the academy’s library, where hundreds of Confucian classics floated among thousands of books.

One by one, books spontaneously turned pages, revealing the character ’heart’.

Without exception, these classics were among the Confucian classics related to Vast Qi.

"This is the Life Character from six months ago... Who is it, who exactly?"

Gu Dongcheng wanted to trace the source of this Life Character, but before his hurried steps could leave the library, a series of dull thuds came from behind, as one by one, the vast light classics fell to the ground.

As someone who loves books like his own life, he couldn’t care less about them now, but the aura of the Life Character flickered away, as if nothing had ever happened.
