Free Web NovelChapter 516: General Outline Of Martial Cultivation (II)
After Bai Lin left, Lin Zheyu sent his divine sense into the Spirit Resonance Sphere and began exploring the Martial Alliance platform. Compared to the Wanli Alliance's system, it was much more rudimentary, more like a simple platform for missions, exchanges, and communication.
—Damn it, that lunatic Woo Yixuan is leading people around, causing trouble for the Martial Alliance. Everyone, be careful when going out.
—Shit... he has no sense of honor. People are actually robbing others in the Martial Realm!
—I cannot stand it anymore. Who is willing to team up and teach those ancient martial esteemed family bastards a proper lesson?
—Let me tell everyone a secret. Woo Yixuan took a huge loss this time. I heard he got beaten badly...
—Fuck, the Martial Alliance actually got such a fierce newcomer. He is so fearless. Could he be from the Vast Heaven Sect, the one nicknamed the Sun-Heaven Sect[1]?
—That bastard is ruining the reputation of my Sun-Heav... uh, Vast Heaven Sect. Get out of here! fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
Lin Zheyu browsed the messages on the Martial Alliance forum and could not help feeling speechless. He realized he had become famous the moment he joined. After looking for a while, he stopped paying attention and began browsing the task listings.
"Haha, so you are the one who beat up Woo Yixuan. I look forward even more to sparring with you!"
Just as Lin Zheyu was browsing through tasks, Qiu Kun sent him a message. Not only him, but Bai Lin and Zong Linjing also sent messages, advising him not to go out for the next few days.
Lin Zheyu felt somewhat speechless. The trouble from beating Woo Yixuan had arrived so quickly. Still, he did not take it too seriously. As long as no Shackles realm martial artist made a move, no number of Divine Repository realm martial artists could trap him, given his grasp of spatial laws. He replied to Bai Lin and Zong Linjing, saying he understood and thanking them, then continued browsing the task list.
Each task had different rewards. Some were private tasks, while others were issued by the Martial Alliance.
[Seek Illusory Spirit Water. Thirty points for ten units. No limit on quantity.]
[Hunt down Martial Alliance traitor Shi Weiping. Peak Divine Repository realm strength. Five hundred points.]
[Guard the underground caverns beneath Demon Sealing Valley for three months. Three hundred points.]
[Find six-pattern yaos infiltrating Great Wei. One hundred points for accurate information, one thousand for killing, three thousand for capture.]
[Seek Divine Repository realm allies to form a team and head to the demon god barrier to compete for opportunities involving rule fragments.]

Lin Zheyu looked through the various tasks, searching for the most suitable ones. When he saw the familiar Demon Sealing Valley, his expression shifted in surprise.
"Underground caverns? Demon Sealing Valley is indeed mysterious. There are actually such hidden caverns beneath it that require Martial Alliance experts to guard," he thought.
He had once secretly gone to investigate Demon Sealing Valley, but after realizing the situation was too deep, he withdrew immediately. After a brief reflection, he focused on the traitor-hunting mission.
That is a high reward. This person must be quite strong.
With that thought, he accepted the mission.
The deputy hall master's selection would start in three months. If Lin Zheyu aimed to earn a thousand points quickly, his options were limited. Each person could undertake up to three tasks. He immediately accepted three hunting missions, all within the Foundation Establishment realm: one to hunt the Martial Alliance traitor, another to hunt a barbarian warrior, and a third to hunt a sea clan infiltrator in Great Wei. After accepting the missions, he went to the Affairs Hall, which manages all mission-related activities.
"Hello, I am here to collect the tracking compass," Lin Zheyu said to the on-duty martial artist.
"Alright, please wait. Huh, it's you. You are that fierce newcomer to the Martial Alliance!"
The young man suddenly looked up, a hint of admiration in his eyes.
"Ah, no. Senior Xiao, I was rude just now," the young man quickly corrected himself and apologized.
"It is fine. Just bring the tracking compass quickly," Lin Zheyu said calmly. He felt speechless. He really had become famous.
"Senior, here is the tracking compass you requested. The relevant information has already been recorded," the young man said respectfully.
"Mm." Lin Zheyu took the compass and turned to leave.
Hunting missions did not require Lin Zheyu to gather information himself. Using the tracking compass, he could locate the target's approximate position. However, it was not perfect. It only provided a general location, and the rest depended on him. After leaving the Affairs Hall, he headed straight to the library. Although he had no position or points yet, not everything in the library required them. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
As a martial artist comparable to the peak Divine Repository realm expert, Lin Zheyu already held considerable privileges upon joining the Martial Alliance and could directly purchase many resources with spirit stones.
"What a rich collection of techniques. The primary cultivation techniques of the War God Sect, Azure Rainbow Sect, and Wuji Sect are all here. Truly worthy of the Martial Alliance." Upon entering the library, Lin Zheyu saw many primary cultivation techniques from mortal sects. At his current level, such techniques were no longer very useful. They could only serve to broaden his knowledge of martial cultivation and inspire related insights.
"Quite cheap too. I will take one of each." Lin Zheyu began making large purchases throughout the library.
He already had a rough plan for his future path in martial cultivation. This plan required him to possess extremely broad and profound knowledge of martial cultivation.
"Found it!" On the second floor of the library, Lin Zheyu's expression lit up as he pulled a manual from the shelf.
In the library, aside from extremely valuable texts and techniques stored as jade slips, most ordinary techniques and manuals were kept in book form. Lin Zheyu took down a book titled Immortal Martial Cultivation Path and began reading it with great interest. This text could be considered a comprehensive outline of martial cultivation. It systematically organized the framework and knowledge from the Organ Forging realm to the Martial Innate realm, and from the Martial Innate realm to the Shackles realm.
"As expected, blood qi is the true foundation of martial cultivation," Lin Zheyu murmured softly after skimming through the book.
Whether it was the true strength cultivated by ordinary martial artists or the true origin cultivated by Lin Zheyu, both were merely passing stages along the path. They were transitional products. Blood qi was the true foundation of martial cultivation.
If not for the incredibly solid foundation he had established, allowing him to cultivate a true origin far surpassing true strength, it would have long been obsolete. However, his path of martial cultivation was different from others. Strictly speaking, he was still only at the peak of the Grandmaster realm, and not even at the Martial Innate realm.
He had not yet opened the Bridge of Heaven and Earth, nor had he opened the three great divine repositories, let alone touched the shackles of the physique. His possessing strength comparable to peak Divine Repository realm experts, while still at the Grandmaster realm, would shock the entire martial cultivation world if revealed.
"I will just buy these for now. This book, Immortal Martial Cultivation Path, will be enough for me to study for a while," Lin Zheyu said as he walked toward the counter with the manual.
He couldn't absorb too much at once. This text was sufficient for him to study during his free time between missions. In addition to this book, he had purchased several potent body-refining techniques from the Immortal Dao when he entered the Martial Realm. He hadn't studied those in detail yet either. However, he believed that reworking his own martial cultivation was more urgent than mastering the Immortal Dao techniques.
"Senior, the total is thirteen mid-grade spirit stones," said the middle-aged man on duty at the counter, who was at the peak of the Martial Innate realm.
The vitality in his body was extremely strong, so strong that he could not fully suppress it, indicating he was not far from opening the essence origin divine repository. After seeing Lin Zheyu's information, a trace of surprise appeared on his face, but he quickly concealed it and respectfully processed the registration.
"So this is Senior Xiao, who beat up Woo Yixuan. He looks completely different in temperament from those people of the Vast Heaven Sect. He probably is not from there," the middle-aged man muttered as he watched Lin Zheyu leave.
After leaving the library, Lin Zheyu returned to his residence. There was no rush to complete the missions. He planned to break through another limit in a couple of days and obtain Origin Force before setting out. In the meantime, he could properly settle his thoughts and reorganize his martial cultivation.
