Chapter 362 - 170: If the Spring Breeze Pities the Flower, Grant Me Youth Once More, to Shoulder the Great Sun and Vie for Martial Champion

Chapter 362: Chapter 170: If the Spring Breeze Pities the Flower, Grant Me Youth Once More, to Shoulder the Great Sun and Vie for Martial Champion

With that, the young man turned and departed with a flourish.

This carefree adaptability left Xu Longxiang staring after his departing figure, speechless for a long time...

After a long while, wisps of his white hair and beard drifted in the air. Xu Longxiang’s eyes were profound, as if they contained the entire scenery of the Cultivation Room.

’This kid...’

’He’s just so familiar.’

Xu Longxiang felt that after Ji Xiu had answered those two questions, his own "fragmented" Martial Arts Zen Heart showed faint signs of mending.

’The Celestial Pillar of True Martial cannot break the spine of a Martial Artist... and he’s going to bring me back the title of "Leader of a Gate"...’

The tall, old man closed his eyes, and the candlelight in the Cultivation Room flickered.

"Master, what is there to fear from True Martial Mountain? It can’t blot out the sky, after all. Didn’t you make it out? If you could do it, so can I!"

"When I become a Martial Saint, I will carry mountains and cross seas, and with the Dragon Elephant Technique, I will challenge True Martial Mountain with my fists!"

...

"Master, our Dragon Elephant Lineage is new to Cangbei, and the next generation has not yet risen. As your disciple... I must build a grand reputation for the sect you’ve established."

"On this trip to Cangdu... I will definitely take first place at Fenghua Tower and make our Dragon Elephant Lineage’s might known across the four seas!"

...

Line after line, scene after scene, they all resurfaced in his mind.

In every memory, the young man was in the prime of his life.

Just like in the old days.

Many years later, a similar flower had bloomed.

It was enough to make Xu Longxiang feel as if his nearly shattered Martial Dao Will had been struck by a sudden awakening, jolted back to life in an instant!

After a long while, he stepped out of the Cultivation Room.

The tall, old man looked toward the Jiangyin Prefecture Courtyard, at the Climbing Martial Arts Tower and the Ascension Divine Tower, which represented the highest achievements in the Martial Dao and Divine Soul trials.

From one of them, a brilliant light tens of feet tall shot into the sky.

Seeing this, Xu Longxiang smiled knowingly.

’That empowerment was worth it.’

At the same time...

A thought that he had been hesitating on was finally decided.

’This kid,’

’is the future new-generation Daoist of the Dragon Elephant True Sect!’

’If not him, then who?!’

...

「Jiangyin Prefecture Courtyard, Climbing Martial Arts Tower.」

Gao Ye ascended step by step, cloaked in the Purple Ribbon Immortal Robe. With every footfall, his Divine Thought manifested, illuminating his surroundings like a blazing sun!

The crowd of spectating Prefecture Students felt a pressure wash over them like a crashing tsunami!

’This Gao Ye of the Dan Mountain Gao Clan...’

’Has he broken through the Three Limits?!’

Within the human body exist the Three Limits of the Power Barrier.

Golden Muscle and Jade Veins can be broken through by the powerful geniuses of a County.

Mercury Blood Silver Marrow can be refined by those of the Direct Bloodlines of a Grand Lineage within a prefecture!

But the Purple Ribbon Immortal Robe!

’This realm...’

To reach this realm, one must cultivate their Divine Soul arts until they form a Divine Thought. Only then can one achieve the union of Dao and Martial and attain Ghost God Avoidance, becoming immune to the influence of low-level Dao Skills!

Legend has it that only by breaking through the Great Limit of the Purple Ribbon Immortal Robe can one be considered to have a true Immortal Robe in certain Celestial Human and Immortal Celestial Universes. All other achievements are merely ordinary Skin Refining!

"It’s only the first day in the Prefecture Courtyard, and this heir of a Noble Clan is already trying to make a name for himself and take the top spot? Isn’t he getting ahead of himself!"

And as the crowd of Prefecture Students watched, three figures stood against the wind.

Among them, a young man with wild, flowing hair stood to the side of the Climbing Martial Arts Tower. His eyes were grave, as if looking at a formidable foe, but his words were sharp.

He was Chen Zhi, one of the Five Gates Leaders of the Jiangyin Prefecture Courtyard and the eldest son of the Direct Bloodline of Fishery Master Chen Jing.

Chen Zhi had watched Gao Ye make his way to the Climbing Martial Arts Tower. Now, Gao Ye took a single step forward, activating his Qi and Blood.

In an instant, ninety feet of the hundred-foot-high Climbing Martial Arts Tower lit up!

In a single moment, Gao Ye had completely surpassed Chen Zhi’s own record of eighty-eight feet!

’This means...’

’This man... has already surpassed the achievement in the Power Barrier that I once left behind!’
