Chapter 487: Chapter 243: Mental Realm Map! Lu Sheng’s Shock! The Supreme Great Grandmaster Has Fallen!
"The martial artists of this world truly are astonishing!"
Lu Sheng marveled.
In this realm of physical prowess, amidst celestial suppression with barely any hope on the path of martial arts, the martial artists here have managed to develop such unique Cultivation Techniques. Lu Sheng couldn’t help but feel a bit of admiration in his heart.
"It seems that following Gao Yao and the others to Xiangyang City is indeed a wise choice. I’m even looking forward to meeting those Great Grandmasters, and perhaps even Supreme Grandmasters!"
"I wonder... if they too have the existence of Mental Realm Maps in their cultivation. If they do, it would mark a tremendous leap forward for the Martial Artist System!"
A gleam flashed in Lu Sheng’s eyes.
Soon after, Lu Sheng followed Gao Yao and his group, slowly heading towards Xiangyang City.
Along the way, they encountered quite a few monsters. However, most of these monsters were between the second and third tiers, and even third-tier monsters only appeared once or twice.
This is when Gao Yao and his group’s importance became evident.
Lu Sheng didn’t even have to make a move; Gao Yao and the others swiftly dealt with the monsters.
Thus, the caravan arrived safely at Xiangyang City.
...
Xiangyang City, as the royal city of the Great Qin Dynasty, is surrounded by towering walls. Even from outside the city, one can see the mottled marks on the walls.
These marks are filled with the aura of age and battle, imparting a solemn tone to the outside of the royal city.
Following Gao Yao and the others, Lu Sheng gradually entered Xiangyang City. At that moment, Lu Sheng’s Perception was instantly unleashed.
Though his physical body was limited by the celestial canopy, his Perception remained unimpaired.
In just a moment, Lu Sheng sensed the presence of the Supreme Grandmaster guarding Xiangyang City.
At this moment... seated deep within Xiangyang City, inside the royal palace!
Yet...
Upon sensing the aura of the Supreme Grandmaster, Lu Sheng couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow slightly.
"Hmm?"
"The power of the Supreme Grandmaster is indeed as I imagined, akin to a sixth-tier Cosmic Life, and the True Intent of Martial Arts in his being... has almost reached the embryonic stage of True Intent, soon he should be able to fully grasp the True Intent of Martial Arts."
"But..."
"The lifespan of the Supreme Grandmaster residing in Xiangyang City seems to be nearing its end!"
Lu Sheng was a bit surprised because in his Perception, the Supreme Grandmaster guarding Xiangyang City appeared like a candle in the wind, swaying precariously.
The life essence is extremely weak, clearly indicating he has reached the end of his lifespan.
"It seems... I need to seize the opportunity to connect with this Supreme Grandmaster!"
Lu Sheng felt a subtle movement in his heart but still followed Gao Yao and the others into Xiangyang City diligently.
After all, under the suppression of the celestial canopy, the battle power Lu Sheng could unleash was merely at the third-tier innate realm.
However, Lu Sheng’s Perception constantly focused on the Supreme Grandmaster, ensuring that the happenings on that side were clear in Lu Sheng’s vision.
Meanwhile, in the depths of the royal palace of Xiangyang City, within a side hall.
An elder quietly sat cross-legged on a cushion, his body exuding a mystical aura that filled the entire side hall.
Beside him sat two strong individuals at the Grandmaster realm, respectfully awaiting his words.
Gradually, the Supreme Grandmaster opened his eyes, yet they were filled with Death Qi, rendering his visage full of an aura of impending demise.
"This old man plans to attempt once more!"
Upon hearing this, the two Grandmaster individuals raised their heads abruptly, looking at the elder with faces mixed with panic, hesitating to speak.
The elder waved his hand: "This old man’s lifespan is near its end, the decision is made. If I don’t attempt once more, there will truly be no hope!"
"This time... even knowing the high possibility of failure, I must proceed!"
The faces of the two Grandmaster individuals showed a trace of sorrow upon hearing this.
"Even if this old man fails this time, I must explore a future path for the Martial Alliance, allowing the world’s martial artists to see a glimmer of hope."
"We... cannot continue to become food for the monsters!"
Instantaneously, following the impact of these words, an oppressive atmosphere pervaded the entire side hall, even affecting the two Grandmaster individuals.
"Hmm?"
Lu Sheng was slightly taken aback by the elder’s words.
"Food for... monsters?"
"Could it be..."
Lu Sheng fell into contemplation, recalling his previous assumptions.
The Supreme Grandmaster’s words gradually confirmed Lu Sheng’s previous thoughts.
"Indeed, this world is not as simple as I imagined."
"Martial Alliance... food for monsters..."
Lu Sheng sat cross-legged in the carriage, entering the royal city slowly with Gao Yao and the others.
Inside Xiangyang City, vitality and vibrancy abound. The streets are filled with the lively calls of vendors, mingled with the joyful laughter of children, presenting a scene of peace and prosperity.
"So, Brother Lu Sheng, isn’t Xiangyang City much better than your little village?"
