Chapter 259: Chapter 120: Ancestors Who Do Not Strive, Their Descendants Busy With Laborious Tasks"The Western Patrol Envoy himself will come..." At this thought, An Jing couldn’t help but frown slightly, "And so urgently targeting me, this guy, he couldn’t possibly know that I am Divine Mandate, could he?" "You are Heavenly Mandate." Sword Spirit reminded, while An Jing shook his head internally: "I am Divine Mandate." "Alright. You are Divine Mandate." According to Granny Huai, the Fate Pattern secret methods practiced by the Western Patrol Envoy are the prototype for the great medicine of the Blood Pill series. He enhances his own Fate Pattern by consuming the Fate Patterns of other talents, and my ’defected’ Divine Mandate is precisely what he considers an excellent source of great medicine. Perhaps, amongst the many who have defected from the Heaven’s Will Demon Sect, some are ’materials’ specifically released by them. Once they join the Sect, it becomes troublesome to act against them. An Jing wasn’t afraid of the Western Patrol Envoy watching him. To be honest, being watched by a person from the Divine Repository is actually quite good for someone with the Heavenly Mandate. What’s more, it is almost impossible for the Western Patrol Envoy, who is likely already at the peak of the Divine Repository, to freely enter and exit Da Chen’s borders. He is not like Mingguang Dust, whose backing Sect is an ally of Da Chen, and he has a legitimate reason to be here, having been invited. What truly troubles An Jing is actually the Grandmaster of Martial Meridians. The number of Grandmasters of Martial Meridians lurking within Da Chen exceeds the ordinary. Just around the Wild State alone, there are six who can come over, and Kanming City is a known place where one Grandmaster will come to guard. Don’t look at An Jing now killing Inner Strength level fighters like chopping melons and vegetables, in fact, this is because he has the physique of an Inner Strength warrior and Secret Transmission level Martial Skills, killing those ordinary Divine Abnormalities, third-rate Cultivation Techniques’ Inner Strength warriors is only natural. But Grandmasters of Martial Meridians are different. To advance in Martial Meridians, a hard requirement is the ’Inner Strength Five Sceneries’ achievement, with five Divine Abnormalities completed flawlessly. Secondly, there needs to be one Secret Transmission level Martial Skill that can regulate Soul and Spirit, gathering the power of all kinds of Divine Abnormalities to forge a bridge between heaven and earth and build the ascending Heavenly Pillar. It’s not that only Secret Transmission Martial Skills can advance Martial Meridians, but only Martial Skills capable of advancing Martial Meridians can be called Secret Transmission. Take Lu Jin’s ’Great Self True Form Fist’ for example, it’s a high-quality Secret Transmission that can serve as the core Martial Art for advancing Martial Meridians. These kinds of Martial Arts Cultivation Techniques, even if inferior to the Taibai Luminous Godly Ban and Imperial Heaven and Houtu Method, would only be so in the later stages. At the Inner Strength Martial Meridian stage, they would not be much inferior. Every Martial Artist who becomes a Grandmaster is considered a genius and has gone through countless battles and honed through strife. It is impossible for An Jing to easily suppress them in technique. Not to mention, like the Flame Liquor Armor warrior, utilizing special materials and Martial Skills in combination with the power of Fate Pattern to achieve a battle technique, they can display power beyond the imagination of Martial Artists of the same rank. Facing Flame Liquor Armor, An Jing already found it somewhat difficult. What if there were stronger, more well-rounded genius Inner Strength fighters? Could An Jing still be as at ease as he is now? An Jing was well aware that if he didn’t want to expose his Dual Star Divine Skill, as well as his many Magic Artifacts’ trump cards from the Tianyuan Realm, he had to make further progress in the Martial Arts Cultivation Technique of Embracing the Void. "I need to learn the ’Great Self True Form Fist’ I got from Lu Jin. Not to mention the mental cultivation aspect of this fist technique, once mastered, it can condense Protective Gang Qi, making up for my deficiencies." With that thought, An Jing mused internally, "Besides, I also need to systematically learn a set of Swordsmanship or weapon killing techniques. Both my Blood Fiend and Gold Fiend Divine Skills are based on weapons, and if I want to develop Martial Skills involving Fate Pattern similar to ’Flame Liquor Armor’, I must work hard in this area." "When Mingguang Dust returns, I’ll see if I can beg him for a technique." Thinking of this, An Jing couldn’t help but sigh. The martial skills he had used before were mostly ancestral techniques passed down by the An Family, but since his ancestor had surpassed the Martial Meridian stage with the aid of a rare item, he did not leave behind any particularly refined Martial Meridian techniques. Even the ancestor wasn’t very clear on how to achieve a Martial Meridian; he only had a scattered few perceptions. "If the ancestor didn’t strive hard, the descendants must toil away," An Jing mumbled. Since he couldn’t become a martial artist of the second generation, An Jing could only ponder it himself. But now was not the time to think about martial arts. An Jing came back to his senses and searched the Cook Old Man’s body. Unfortunately, except for a piece of Yin Jade for nurturing little ghosts and a few pieces of Spirit Silver, he found nothing. This was not surprising, for the martial artists of Heaven’s Will Demon Sect always traveled light, sneaking in to carry out their missions—who would bring their belongings on a mission? The Yin Jade was worth about two to three hundred silver, a decent spiritual object, though An Jing had no use for it. The Spirit Silver was only worth about two liang, almost negligible, but it could still be refined for a bit of Gold Fiend Qi. "Martial Meridian Grandmaster... Hmm, indeed, I should ask my teacher how to advance," said An Jing. He didn’t plan to return to the small building to gather the spoils of war. Instead, he prepared to head home, grumbling, "I forgot to ask yesterday how an ordinary martial artist gathers Inner Strength and Divine Abnormalities—I’ve filled up with Essence Qi, it’s time to try advancing to Inner Strength." "Indeed." It was then that a familiar voice sounded, "I was actually planning to talk to you about this today." "Teacher?" An Jing turned around in surprise—not actually surprised, since the Sword Spirit had just informed him, which is why An Jing voiced those words: "You were here?" "Stop pretending, you surely noticed." Light flickered, and the Dharma Body of ’Mirror Self’ from the Mingguang Dust condensed beside An Jing. Xuan Mingjing was still in the city, and even if he had to attend to matters personally, the Dharma Body with Divine Skill would surely stay hidden beside him. It was because An Jing knew this that he directly attacked the Demon Sect stronghold without hesitation. "Heh." Caught out by Mingguang Dust, An Jing chuckled, gazing toward the direction of the Demon Sect stronghold, he earnestly asked, "Teacher, you must have watched my performance from beginning to end... may I ask for your evaluation?" "Not bad at all." Mingguang Dust nodded, "You leveraged Divine Skill to lurk aside, promptly devised a combat plan after determining the order of threats, and then naturally and unsurprisingly defeated all four Inner Strength martial artists." "Even if you are of Divine Mandate, and possess a mysterious and powerful set of Body Refining Techniques that elevated your physique to the Inner Strength realm, being able to so easily slay four not-so-weak peer opponents with coordination, indeed proves that both your strength and technique are comparable to a True Transmission from a Great Sect." An Jing slightly furrowed his brow; Mingguang Dust’s evaluation was within his expectations. At Hanging Fate Manor, he was raised as the leader of the young generation of Heaven’s Will Demon Sect, so it was only natural for him to be compared to the True Transmission of a Great Sect. But An Jing’s question was not in search of Mingguang Dust’s praise; rather, he hoped the other party would point out his weaknesses so that with the perspective of a Divine Repository True Person, he could improve himself further. "However," Soon, Mingguang Dust uttered two words that made An Jing’s brows relax: "Even though your martial skills are already excellent, comparable to a Grandmaster’s realm... it seems that you still don’t quite understand the true combat methods of a martial artist."
