Chapter 634 417: History Repeats Itself
The azure sky hangs low, and the great mountains rise mightily from the earth, stretching endlessly before the eye.
"Even though I was transmitted from Yan Capital's Martial Arts Heaven and Earth last time, entering it again still fills me with awe. This province-level Martial Arts Heaven and Earth has such vast and expansive territory."
At this moment, Chen Ku stands on a hillside, not far from a stele inscribed with the words "Hero Slope." From here, looking into the distance, is a range of mountains.
Even with Chen Ku's high vantage point and 'Hundred Li Golden Eyes,' he still cannot discern what lies beyond a hundred miles, and it is said that this province-level Martial Arts Heaven and Earth, 'Dragon Abyss Heaven and Earth,' stretches ten thousand miles both longitudely and latitudely, nearly matching the area of a major country from the past world.
Yet, this is only one of the thirteen province-level Martial Arts Heaven and Earths in the Daji Dynasty.
There are thirteen such realms of similar scale.
Above this, there are the Two Capital Heavens and Earth.
This causes Chen Ku to marvel that such a colossal Martial Arts Heaven and Earth, if pieced together, would equal the area of the Daji Dynasty, yet it was transformed solely by Martial Arts Destiny.
This demonstrates how immense the Martial Arts Destiny, which has continued to grow over countless years, has become today.
Once a system is created, it grows steadily unless destruction comes.
"I wonder if the Immortal Temples, Divine Temples, and Demon Temples of other major countries also have similar realms of destiny?"
An inexplicable thought arises in Chen Ku's heart, desiring to explore and train in the realms of destiny in other countries if given the chance. This mainly comes from having the 'Heart Transformation' Great Divine Power now, allowing him to venture into danger without fear of death if the rewards outweigh the risks.
A fleeting thought occurs: perhaps after leaving this Martial Arts Heaven and Earth, he should explore the truth of the 'Shura Armory' in Yuan Country.
After all, just losing an incarnation is no big deal.
The wind blows through his hair.
Chen Ku stores this thought away and steps towards the stele on Hero Slope, removing the Martial Arts Gold Order from his chest, imprinted by killing someone who had murderous intent towards him, and presses it against the stele.
[Welcome 'Wan Mengxiao' to the Dragon Abyss Province Martial Arts Heaven and Earth.]
[This entry into Martial Arts Heaven and Earth is for a fourteen-day training period, deducting one hundred thousand Martial Destiny. Your account balance remains: four hundred eighty-nine thousand eight hundred and three points.]
Chen Ku is slightly surprised that the balance of the Wan Mengxiao he killed is quite substantial, enough Martial Destiny to forge two Divine Weapons.
Although a Ninth Realm Martial Practitioner, Divine Weapon-level weapons no longer match their strength.
"This windfall Martial Destiny is perfect. Let me see what Spiritual Medicines are within this province-level Martial Arts Heaven and Earth?"
Holding the Martial Destiny earned from assassination and robbery, Chen Ku feels unabashed, planning to first purchase some top-grade Spiritual Medicines, preferably Holy Medicine-level, to utilize the auditory ability of the Six-Eared Macaque for greater intelligence.
Immediately, he opens the spiritual medicine section on the stele.
He directly sets the Treasured Medicine quality to top-grade Spiritual Medicine and Holy Medicine Level, even seeing Divine Medicine.
[Suoluo Fragrant Calyx (Top-grade Spiritual Medicine): Fragrant scent, suitable for most grade six or seven level pills, price: one thousand Martial Destiny]
[Heart-piercing Silver Lotus (Top-grade Spiritual Medicine): Bitter lotus seeds, suitable for detoxifying grade six or seven poison pills, price: one thousand Martial Destiny]
[Nine-leaf Guai Zao (Top-grade Spiritual Fruit): Curved fruit stem, containing powerful Wood Spirit Qi, price: one thousand Martial Destiny]
...
[Snow Pear (Holy Fruit): Yellow flower, red fruit, eating it makes the body light as a feather, price: ten thousand Martial Destiny]
...
[Earth Origin Fruit (Divine Fruit): Said to be a Divine Fruit condensed from Earth Qi, greatly aids Earth Dao Martial Arts, even offering a glimpse of Earth Tao Rhythm, price: one hundred thousand Martial Destiny]
Chen Ku finds that there are indeed province-level Martial Arts Heaven and Earth.
Not only are there Holy Fruits, but the Yin God Fruit level Divine Fruit he had painstakingly risked offending the Fighting God Palace to harvest is also available for purchase here.
Though priced exceedingly high at one hundred thousand Martial Destiny, consuming it grants a glimpse of Earth Tao Rhythm, which would have saved him considerable effort while cultivating the Kunlun Technique and Earth Element Technique.
"Let's have one and taste its flavor first."
Since the Martial Destiny wasn't earned through hard toil, Chen Ku spends it liberally, immediately purchasing an Earth Origin Divine Fruit. The sound of abacus beads flicking and disappearing copper coins echoes on the Martial Arts Gold Order.
A moment later.
From the stele before him emerges a hazy light, enveloping a fruit, appearing before Chen Ku.
This fruit is entirely golden, slightly resembling Solomon's Seal, akin to ginseng, yet when held, it feels substantial, as if weighing a block of gold.
Chen Ku's eyes flicker slightly, and he transforms into a Six-Eared Macaque on the spot, opening his mouth and swallowing the Earth Origin Divine Fruit worth ten thousand Martial Destiny.
The moment it enters his stomach, he feels a heavy Earth Qi akin to a continent crashing within.
Instantly.
The ears of his Six-Eared Macaque incarnation become like black holes, relentlessly consuming the abundant Primordial Qi within the Earth Origin Divine Fruit.
