Chapter 485: Chapter 242: Martial Artists Who Travel with Caravans, This World’s Cultivation System, Xiangyang City, and Demons!
"They... are the guardian spirits of our Great Qin Dynasty!"
Just from this person’s words alone, Lu Sheng could easily discern the reverence the opponent held for the supreme Great Grandmaster.
Upon hearing this, Lu Sheng smiled subtly, but his gaze was fixed upon his system panel.
"Although this world imposes significant constraints on the physical body, the ’intent,’ or rather the comprehension of the Cosmic Dao, faces nearly no restrictions, marking it as a unique Cultivation System."
"Perhaps... the Cultivation Technique after my seventh tier can borrow aspects from this world’s Cultivation System, or maybe... I’ll find my future cultivation path right here!"
Lu Sheng thought to himself silently.
"Young brother, with your talent, staying in a small village is quite a waste. Have you thought about leaving with us?"
At this moment, a Martial Artist suddenly spoke to Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng was taken aback.
Seeing Lu Sheng’s expression, the Martial Artist thought Lu Sheng might be reluctant to leave Wang Family Village, so he persuaded, "Our caravan is heading to Xiangyang City next, which is the imperial city of our Great Qin Dynasty."
"There, you can meet more powerful Martial Artists, and there’s even a supreme Great Grandmaster residing in Xiangyang City. With your talent, if this master values you and accepts you as a disciple, your future would be immensely prosperous."
"Staying here, you might live out your life peacefully, but forgive me for being frank, if demons arrive here, with your third-tier cultivation, you’d only face a dead end!"
The Martial Artist whispered into Lu Sheng’s ear, advising him.
Lu Sheng pondered for a while; it wasn’t that he was reluctant to leave Wang Family Village. In fact, following the Martial Artist to Xiangyang City was surely the best option.
After all, this would allow him to closely study this world’s Cultivation System and top-tier experts, gaining a better understanding of this world’s situation.
The reason he hadn’t responded yet was simply that he was looking at his system panel.
"Although my physical strength has increased to the third tier, the suppression of the etheric curtain grows, but my comprehension of the Cosmic Dao hasn’t weakened much. Moreover... the system panel still exists, which is entirely different from the situation in the Three Thousand Worlds."
"In this world, my system panel can still grow, which has predestined my upper limit to be even stronger than all native beings in this world suppressed by the etheric curtain."
"Plus, with my seventh-tier life’s essence..."
Lu Sheng smiled slightly, then nodded facing the Martial Artist’s gaze.
"Well then... thank you, big brother!"
Seeing Lu Sheng agree, the Martial Artist also flashed a bright smile.
Then, Lu Sheng found the village chief and informed him of his intention to leave with the accompanying Martial Artists of the caravan. Though the village chief was somewhat reluctant, as Lu Sheng’s ability to teach was evident, and his character was good, many villagers had already treated Lu Sheng as one of their own.
But the village chief knew that Wang Family Village couldn’t hold onto Lu Sheng forever, so he had no choice but to agree reluctantly.
Subsequently, with the departure of the caravan, Lu Sheng accompanied the Martial Artists, protecting the caravan as they journeyed to the Great Qin Dynasty’s imperial city, Xiangyang City!
Along the way, Lu Sheng became more familiar with these accompanying Martial Artists.
These Martial Artists all relied on the cultivation of ’intent’ to transform their physical bodies to the Innate Realm level.
Their strength was decent.
The leader was named Gao Yao, the same one who invited Lu Sheng to join them on their journey to Xiangyang City.
Under the protection of Lu Sheng and the other Martial Artists, the caravan slowly moved towards Xiangyang City. However, the journey was far from smooth.
Especially when the caravan entered desolate areas, Lu Sheng could distinctly sense that Gao Yao and others’ expressions had become exceedingly solemn.
As if facing a formidable enemy!
"Watch out!"
Suddenly, Gao Yao shouted fiercely, instantly drawing the blade from his waist, and swung it towards a certain direction.
Bang!!
With a muffled explosion, a group of shadows was instantly split in two beneath the blade.
A foul stench emanated from the two halves of the shadow.
Lu Sheng looked and found it was a dark monkey-like creature. Though it resembled a monkey, it differed significantly from ordinary ones.
The claws and teeth of this monkey were extremely sharp, and even its blood was black, with a faintly odious aura emanating from its body.
"So this is... a demon?"
Lu Sheng curiously observed the demon killed by Gao Yao; this was his first time seeing a demon in this world.
"Hahaha, Lu Sheng old chap, it seems you’ve stayed in your village too long. This should be your first time seeing a demon!"
Gao Yao couldn’t help but laugh heartily at Lu Sheng’s expression.
Lu Sheng smiled slightly.
"I must say, you’re lucky. Your village hasn’t been invaded by demons; otherwise... you wouldn’t have this expression!"
Gao Yao said, raising a torch to burn the monkey demon’s corpse until only a clump of black ashes remained, which scattered into the air with the gentle breeze.
Lu Sheng chuckled and then turned his gaze to Gao Yao, asking, "Big brother Gao, the wave just now when you struck... was that ’intent’?"
Lu Sheng’s eyes gleamed with curiosity. He could sense that when Gao Yao struck, the seemingly domineering move gave off a feeling akin to flowing water.
This was clearly... the Martial Arts Realm’s fluctuation!
