Chapter 558 - 396: Energy Purple Jade, Blue Star Alliance, and the Spectacular Scene in the Beast Cave
Energy Purple Jade?
Even the Huangfu Family doesn’t have much?
Su Mu’s face showed a hint of interest. Huangfu Xue explained, "This item is strictly controlled. The veins that can produce Energy Purple Jade are extremely rare. Not only will the excavation of Energy Purple Jade be controlled by the Imperial Capital, it is said that it will also be controlled by the Blue Star Alliance."
The Blue Star Alliance comes to control it?
Upon hearing this, Su Mu was slightly stunned. Huangfu Xue’s choice of words was "control" and not "supervise," which carries a completely different weight.
He hadn’t heard of this organization for a while. The earliest contact was during the Blue Star Alliance Genius Battle at the Shenjiang City Martial Arts Association Branch.
The Hidden Dragon List, Grandmaster List, and Quasi Martial Saint List were all issued by the Blue Star Alliance. The selection competition in Guangshen Province had the involvement of the Blue Star Alliance.
However, after a single Dragon Ascension Battle, Su Mu didn’t participate again and didn’t pay attention to the subsequent events, but he did learn something; the subsequent Quasi Martial Saint Battle would be held a year later.
"I can go and see the Quasi Martial Saint Battle then, maybe there will be gains."
His thoughts returned, and Su Mu’s impression of this alliance was roughly equivalent to the United Nations on the planet in his previous life. It’s the kind of organization that holds meetings every day, has a big name, but not much actual power.
"It seems this Blue Star Alliance is not simple. This organization has Martial Saints, and probably more than one. Marshal Yue mentioned that there are thirty-three Martial Saint Towers, one has not yet emerged, and another may have already shattered."
"I wonder how many Martial Saints are there in the Blue Star Alliance?"
In the High Martial World, fists are everything; fists are ultimate truth.
In Su Mu’s view, trying to control a great nation in this High Martial World by reason is definitely not feasible; its fists must be extremely hard, or how else would others listen to it?
In an instant, Su Mu thought of another possibility. This time, he thought of that red-haired woman and Thunder God. Both being Half-Saints also had differences, huge differences as between heaven and earth.
"The Martial Saints of the current era all advanced to the Saint Realm relying on the Martial Saint Towers, but perhaps there are differences within the Saint Realm, and the thirty-one current Martial Saints may have a clear ranking in strength."
"Maybe the Blue Star Alliance has several top-ranked Martial Saints, even the strongest one in the current era holding the fort... who could be the strongest Martial Saint of today?"
As he thought about this, Su Mu’s eyes flickered slightly, while Huangfu Xue continued talking beside him.
"Su Mu, you can regard this Energy Purple Jade as a higher tier energy crystal compared to Spirit Stones and Spirit Marrow. The energy contained in one pound of Energy Purple Jade is a hundred times that of Spirit Marrow and is also easier to absorb."
"Some high-quality purple jades also have the miraculous effect of carrying Soul Power. The so-called Soul Crystal by people is actually this type of purple jade."
"For example, a piece of Martial Arts Classic, even if it’s written by the founder of martial arts personally, will be difficult for others to comprehend in the future. After all, there will always be thresholds in comprehending through text. At this time, if there’s a piece of high-quality purple jade, it can store the whole Martial Arts in it, and the true charm of martial arts will be better preserved, making it easier for future generations to get started, thus making it easier to be preserved for the future."
"So, some top-level martial arts, such as Martial Saint Secret Techniques, are generally also carried with purple jade. However, this is just one way. For instance, the inheritance of the now-extinct Relic Giant Race can be carried by the bones, flesh, and even soul of their clansmen."
Upon saying this, Huangfu Xue paused. Su Mu frowned but didn’t say anything eventually, only sighing slightly in his heart.
The existence of the Forbidden Giants, their arrangement is not understood by future generations, and even their names are wiped out by their own clansmen.
Even if Su Mu said it now, it would only increase unnecessary panic among the people, having no other meaning. Moreover, the more people who know, the worse it might be, possibly attracting the actions of the Master of Black Fog.
It might even prematurely awaken the Master of Black Fog.
"This matter cannot be easily told to others but can be discussed with Marshal Yue at a proper time, preparing in advance is never wrong... but now is not the time yet."
If he were to directly state it, it’s unlikely that his strength would convince everyone.
Only by tackling this matter with the strength of The Strongest, can unnecessary troubles and resistance be reduced, thereby achieving the integration of all combat power on this planet. With this thought spinning rapidly in Su Mu’s mind, he immediately made a decision.
Su Mu drained the cup of tea, poured himself another, and also poured one for Huangfu Xue, as the two continued chatting, when Huangfu Xue suddenly changed the topic.
"By the way, Su Mu, there’s something else I want to ask you, has Ximen Gu really snuffed it?"
"He shouldn’t be dead... as long as he doesn’t provoke that guy."
...
"Phoenix Cry... Phoenix Cry... Phoenix Cry!"
In the depths of the Beast Cave, a one-armed man closed his eyes tightly, sitting cross-legged holding a sword, repeatedly muttering the words ’Phoenix Cry’ over and over, with an obsession in his voice, almost delirious.
Above him, the wind and snow stagnated, and an astonishingly invisible Sword Momentum was brewing.
At a certain moment.
The one-armed man trembled all over, and a petal of snow drifted down.
In that instant.
An Ice Sparrow’s high-pitched cry suddenly sounded, and then an extremely cold sword light swept through the world. With a slash, a brilliant icy river congealed, and the earth turned suddenly cold, freezing three feet deep.
At this moment, the one-armed man slowly opened his eyes. With a face full of beard, an aged face, but with a pair of pure eyes.
He stood up, lifting the petal of snow frozen in ice with his left arm.
"Su Mu was right. Blade Momentum, Sword Momentum is not the end of this path. Beyond momentum, there is intent... My pursuit should not stop at momentum but should be the Sword Intent!"
The one-armed man took a step forward, his long black hair wildly waving without wind, as a terrifying Sword Momentum soared to the sky, and the shackles within his body were completely broken at this moment.
"The Eight-Tenths Sword Momentum is actually... not as difficult as I imagined. If Su Mu were me, he would have already taken this step."
After saying this, the man felt it inappropriate and soon shook his head vigorously.
"No, he has already mastered Peak Blade Momentum, why would he need to break through the Eight-Tenths Sword Momentum."
The man looked down at the sword in his hand, inevitably with self-mockery.
"My sword is nowhere near his blade. What he holds is the true Phoenix Cry."
This self-mocking one-armed man was none other than Ximen Gu.
After refusing Su Mu’s invitation to leave the Beast Cave together, Ximen Gu did not choose to reconnect his broken arm, as doing so would surely affect the subsequent use of the reconnected limb.
But in fact, Ximen Gu had no plans to reconnect his arm anymore.
The broken arm is in the past; the left hand can also wield the sword!
Today breaking through the Eight-Tenths Sword Momentum is the best proof.
After breaking through the Eight-Tenths Sword Momentum, Ximen Gu had the intention to leave, realizing that mastering the Nine-Tenths Sword Momentum, or even the Peak Sword Momentum, was not an easy task.
Among the people he had seen, only his master, the current Sword Pavilion Lord, had mastered the Peak Sword Momentum.
"Then let’s go."
Ximen Gu left, swinging one sword after another, wielding a three-foot green blade with his left hand, slaying one Fierce Beast after another that blocked his way, carving out a bloody path. Covered in blood, Ximen turned into a beam of sword light, shooting straight up to the Cave of Weightlessness.
"I wonder which layer this is?"
Ximen Gu climbed high to look far and soon found the nearest Cave of Weightlessness on this layer of the Beast Cave.
As far as his sight could reach, a bright moon hung over the Great River, the bright moon reflected on the river’s surface, sparkling, presenting a scene of tranquility and peace.
"The Great River gives birth to a bright moon, the Beast Cave surprisingly has such splendid scenery!"
Ximen Gu exclaimed, suddenly feeling a sense of fortune in his heart.
"It’s just on the way, let’s go have a look!"
Little did he know, the same scenery had already been appreciated by someone else before him, and recently not just once, with each time overturning rivers and inverting seas.
