I Have A Martial Arts Panel

Chapter 184: Seventeen States in the Abyss North

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The Source Sect’s sect conference was over.

Xu Ning’s victory over Wenren Bo had indeed shocked the Source Sect disciples.

This also caused many Source Sect’s disciples to reevaluate their sect and reassess themselves. The focus of their attention began to involve the outer states.

After the sect conference, the big shots in Yunying City all reevaluated Xu Ning’s value.

Not only was his martial arts aptitude stronger than the Source Sect’s number one true disciple, but he also had extremely strong alchemy skills. With these two points, Xu Ning was raised to equal standing in the hearts of those big shots.

They all knew very well that if Xu Ning was willing, he could even establish his own family clan in State Feiyun and become an overlord of State Feiyun.

However, just when these big shots were about to contact Xu Ning immediately after the sect conference, Xu Ning was called away by Feng Xiu and Wu Lanqiong.

Source Sect.

Back mountain.

Inside a bamboo house.

Xu Ning was brought here by Feng Xiu and Wu Lanqiong.

Xu Ning noticed that the two seemed to have something to tell him.

The door of the bamboo house closed. Feng Xiu waved his hand, and Xu Ning immediately felt that the entire bamboo house was enveloped by an invisible force, blocking the outside world.

‘A true domain realm technique…’

Xu Ning thought to himself.

Once a true intent realm martial artist advanced to the true domain realm, their true intent would form a miniature domain with them as the center.

In this domain, a true domain realm martial artist would receive a huge boost in attribute power, while others would be suppressed by the domain.

“Xu Ning, your performance today has truly shocked us old fellows.”

Feng Xiu first evaluated Xu Ning. “I was thinking, if only you were a disciple of the Source Sect.”

Xu Ning smiled humbly, but before he could answer, Wu Lanqiong said, “It’s okay, Xu Ning comes from Kangyun County and is a local of State Feiyun. If he can reach a higher realm, he will still be the pride of State Feiyun.”

“Sister Wu is right.”

Feng Xiu laughed.

When Xu Ning saw this, he said, “Today, I observed the disciples of the Source Sect. They are energetic and have strong martial arts will. Among them are genius representatives like Wenren Bo and Wenren Jin. The Source Sect is truly the only top sect in State Feiyun.”

“Once the young disciples of the Source Sect mature in the future, the Source Sect will become stronger.”

Faced with Xu Ning’s praise, Feng Xiu first chuckled, then his expression became a little serious. “Yes, only when these young disciples mature can they better deal with the upcoming crisis.”

“Crisis?”

Xu Ning acutely noticed the change in Feng Xiu’s tone.

‘Could Sect Master Feng Xiu be worried about the enemies in State Hurricane?’ Xu Ning thought to himself. ‘The enemies in State Hurricane are so strong that even the Source Sect feels threatened?’

Although he was puzzled, Xu Ning did not ask. He could tell that Feng Xiu had not finished speaking.

“Xu Ning, have you heard of State Wansheng?”

Suddenly, Feng Xiu changed the topic.

‘State Wansheng?’

Xu Ning’s heart stirred, then he responded, “I have.”

Xu Hujun had told Xu Ning that the original owner of the Demon Beast Scroll, the beast tamer, was from the world’s largest state, State Wansheng.

“Then do you know where State Wansheng is?”

Feng Xiu asked again.

Xu Ning frowned. “Um… I don’t know.”

Xu Ning only knew that State Wansheng was extremely far away, but he didn’t know where exactly it was.

“State Wansheng, it is in the south of the Endless Sea Abyss.”

Feng Xiu said.

“Endless Sea Abyss?”

This was the first time Xu Ning had heard of this place.

“The Endless Sea Abyss is separating State Wansheng from the seventeen states in the Abyss North.”

Feng Xiu continued, “North of the Endless Sea Abyss, there are a total of seventeen states, including State Feiyun, State Jifeng, State Hurricane, State Yanshui, and other big states. Although these big states are vast and populous, they are not worth mentioning compared to State Wansheng.”

“In State Wansheng, there are many strong martial artists and sects, and their level of prosperity in terms of martial arts far exceeds the level of the seventeen states in the Abyss North. You should have also noticed that it is difficult to find traces of a dao realm master in the seventeen states. Do you know why?”

Feng Xiu asked the question Xu Ning had been wondering about for a long time. “Why is that so?”

“There are two reasons.”

Feng Xiu said, “Firstly, it is extremely difficult for a dao realm master to be born in the seventeen states. There are hundreds of millions of people and millions of martial artists, but for hundreds of years, as long as a native master appeared, they would leave behind their names in legend. Moreover, their numbers are already extremely few.”

“Secondly, for the dao realm masters in the seventeen states of the Abyss North, a portion of them showed themselves in the chaos among the states 300 years ago and decided to stay temporarily. Otherwise, after their advancement, they would have usually left the seventeen states and crossed the Endless Sea Abyss to go to State Wansheng.”

“Because of these two reasons, there are almost no dao realm masters in the seventeen states.”

Feng Xiu sighed. “The reason for these two phenomena is because the gap between State Wansheng and the seventeen states of the Abyss North is too big. In State Wansheng, there is an abundance of resources and rich spiritual energy. The seventeen states of the Abyss North can’t compare at all.”

“Grooming a dao realm master is the limit for the environment of the seventeen states of the Abyss North. If they want to advance to the next realm, they can only leave this place and go to State Wansheng. Only there can they be like fishes returning to the sea and mature completely.”

“I see…”

Xu Ning suddenly understood.

Although they were all big states, State Wansheng, which was isolated by the Endless Sea Abyss, seemed to be at a different level

“Sect Master Feng, since State Wansheng is so powerful, why are only dao realm masters going there? Wouldn’t cultivating there be better for void realm martial artists and mortal realm martial artists?”

Xu Ning asked as he was also tempted.

According to Feng Xiu, if he went to State Wansheng, it would be easier to obtain more energy. Additionally, it would also be easy to break through to the dao realm.

“Who wouldn’t want to?”

Feng Xiu smiled helplessly. “You probably haven’t traveled around much before, that’s why you have this question.”

“Although State Wansheng is good, the risk of crossing the Endless Sea Abyss is too great.”

Feng Xiu explained, “Anyone who comes close to the Endless Sea Abyss will feel the horror of it. Unless one is a dao realm master, there is almost no chance of survival after entering it. There are countless terrifying creatures hidden under the Endless Sea Abyss, and in the sky, dark clouds are everywhere. Lightning infused with the power of the dao realm will even occasionally strike the sea.”

“Even a dao realm master doesn’t have a 100% chance of survival.”

Feng Xiu’s words allowed Xu Ning to understand the dangers of the Endless Sea Abyss.

‘A place where even a dao realm master can die…’

Although he was afraid, Xu Ning still felt a sense of yearning in his heart.

At the same time, Xu Ning realized that the crisis Feng Xiu mentioned just now seemed to be related to State Wansheng, not State Hurricane.

“Sect Master Feng, the crisis you mentioned before is…”

Xu Ning took the initiative to ask.

“The crisis comes from State Wansheng.”

Feng Xiu also gave an affirmative answer. “Compared to the flames of war in State Hurricane, this is the true crisis, and it is the crisis involving the entire seventeen states.”

“Sect Master Feng, please explain.”

Xu Ning was shocked.

If Feng Xiu said that it was a crisis involving the entire seventeen states, then it must not be underestimated.

“Xu Ning, you should know that the Source Sect has a strong foundation and has a long history.”

Feng Xiu said, “In such a long time, the Source Sect has produced many dao realm masters. But they all left their hometown and went to State Wansheng.”

“The seniors of the Source Sect took root in State Wansheng, and even built a new Source Sect there. We have established a connection with the Source Sect there through some extremely special spatial methods.”

“Just three months ago, we received news from the Source Sect’s seniors in State Wansheng. They said that some people in State Wansheng are about to come and bring great danger to the seventeen states.”

“Although they didn’t explain the reason in detail, they told us to gather together and unite the states to fight against the enemy.”

After Xu Ning heard this, his expression was solemn.

The danger from the higher-level State Wansheng made him very worried.

Putting aside his own safety, he might not be able to protect his family and friends against that level of danger.

Feng Xiu continued, “But, Xu Ning, you also know that the seventeen states in the North Abyss are independent, and disputes are frequent amongst them. If we want to unite, we would have to obtain the consensus of the top sects in every state. How difficult is that?”

“What the Source Sect can do now is to find a way to unite the nearby three states: State Jifeng, State Hurricane, and State Yanshui.”

“Over at State Hurricane, we have reached a consensus with the Twin Moon Sect, one of the top sects over there. The friction between the two sects is just a surface crisis. The goal is to divert the attention of the other sects in State Hurricane. When the time is right, we will cooperate with the Twin Moon Sect and their allies to control State Hurricane.”

“Over at State Yanshui, we have reached an agreement with the Smoke Sect. The alliance has basically been secretly formed.”

“In State Jifeng, we haven’t decided on an alliance partner until you appear.”

Feng Xiu looked at Xu Ning. “You are a true disciple of the Yuelan Sect, and you are from State Feiyun. You are the bond between the two states.”

“I hope that when you return to the Yuelan Sect, you can bring back the Source Sect’s wishes. I will write a letter explaining the reason, and I hope you can give it to Sect Master Mi Xingye and persuade him. Additionally, the Source Sect will also send help to aid the Yuelan Sect to take control over State Jifeng.”

“This…”

Xu Ning did not immediately agree.

This matter was too important to simply decide.

“Xu Ning, if you still have concerns, you don’t have to worry.”

Feng Xiu said, “I will show solid evidence to let Sect Master Mi Xingye believe that this is the truth and not just a fabricated scheme..”
