Chapter 171: Chapter 105: Martial Saint Stele (Part 2)

The space elevator, straight into the clouds.

A group of students followed behind him, entering the elevator together.

The elevator was transparent on all sides, allowing a clear view of everything around.

Chi Chenzhou’s voice sounded again.

“Next, I will take you to the location of your first lesson.”

“However, your mentor will be someone else.”

At the moment his voice dropped.

The space elevator started, like an arrow off the string, soaring into the sky.

Everything around was transparent, a feeling entirely different from riding a starship.

Qin Jin stood among the crowd, watching the rapidly changing surroundings. In the blink of an eye, they had already shot into the heavens, the glow of the Zhi Xia Star reflected on the transparent sides of the elevator, casting magnificent colors.

Qin Jin’s gaze settled on the figure ahead.

Chi Chenzhou!

From Zhong Yi’s words, he had learned the name of this powerful figure, whose actions had subconsciously influenced him.

And now, he finally saw the true form of the person.

Beside him.

The S-Class students couldn’t calm down to watch the outside scene; all their attention was focused on Chi Chenzhou.

Each of them was a talented genius, but in front of a Transcendence Realm Martial Arts Family, they were insignificant. Who wouldn’t know of Chenzhou’s name when they could come to the Martial Abyss?

Many years ago.

The principal before them was possibly an even more brilliant Celestial Pride!

The space elevator continued to rise, breaking through the clouds, entering the Star Sea.

The other end it connected to was the island within the Star Sea.

The headquarters of Wuyuan Academy!

At this moment, this giant artificial celestial body stopped its rotation, staying motionless.

In the next instant.

The space elevator docked, Chi Chenzhou led the way out of the elevator, stepping onto the island.

Behind him, the S-Class students hurriedly followed.

Upon stepping onto this Star Sea island, someone couldn’t help but change their expression slightly.

Gravity!

Compared to Zhi Xia Star, the gravity here was noticeably increased.

Qin Jin, already Innate, was hardly affected by the gravitational increase. Once he adapted, his sights set on the front.

On the way to the academy, he cultivated, and it was his first time seeing the headquarters of Wuyuan Academy.

The space elevator’s docking site was rather desolate, the ground ahead scattered with yellow earth, looking somewhat peculiar.

And on this desolate land.

Stood a massive irregular stone stele, towering here!

At a glance, it was shocking, reaching ten thousand meters high. On this Star Sea island, it’s a marvel. At the top of the stele, an ancient script [Martial] character was engraved.

Above the stele, seemingly covered by dust, it was dim.

Behind.

The students gradually adapted to the change in gravity.

Chi Chenzhou’s voice arose at this moment.

“Under your feet is the yellow earth from the Ancestral Star of our Starfire Federation.”

Chi Chenzhou personally led the way, and the surroundings were already quiet, but when his sentence fell, it became even quieter.

His calm voice echoed in this desolate place: “Being classified as an S-Class from the beginning of your academy life means the academy has high hopes for your talents and will fully support your cultivation.”

“Your task in the academy is to tap into every bit of your potential, constantly evolve on the path of martial arts, until you reach your peak.”

“Now, you will start your first class here.”

“Your teacher is this stele before you.”

“It has no name.”

“Many years ago, this stele was erected by Mr. Chen Shu, who inscribed the first Martial character, passing on till today.”

“To this day.”

“Since the founding of our Wuyuan Academy, every student who reaches the Martial Saint Realm returns here to personally copy the Martial character. Although nameless, it can be called the Martial Saint Stele.”

“Here is your first lesson!”

“Now…”

Chi Chenzhou stood with hands behind, gently opened his lips, and spoke.

“Class begins.”

At the moment his words fell.

It seemed like a gentle breeze rose on the Martial Saint Stele.

The breeze swept, revealing the dust on the highest point of the stele, uncovering marks left by weapons and fists, shown on the stele; below, the Martial character, from dimness, gradually lit up, brightening progressively.

The radiance became increasingly brilliant, and after a few breaths, on the island, it illuminated the Star Sea!

At this moment.

If inhabitants within the Zhi Xia Star were to look up, they would find a unique and distinct glow in the firmament!

The students in attendance, with Chi Chenzhou’s words, already had their eyes focused on the stone stele.

With the Martial character lighting up, Qin Jin clearly saw illusory figures emerging before the stele, either using weapons as pen or fists to write, repeatedly replicating the Martial character.

That was…

Throughout history, the intent of one Martial Saint after another re-emerges in the present.

During the process of replication, they have etched their intent here, passing the torch continuously to future generations.

In this instant.

Qin Jin clearly sensed his own Primordial Power becoming active, his spirit refined, increasingly lucid.

This is a legacy spanning eras.

The strong ones who left their [intent] on this stele might have fallen, but their intent remains here, until the day it is completely worn away through continuous inheritance.

While his Primordial Power was being refined, under the halo of the martial character, Qin Jin discovered that the surrounding environment changed drastically and quietly.

The desolate island scene disappeared, replaced by a rather cozy bedroom.

The surrounding setup was quite primitive, somewhat similar to the living quarters on the Mining Star, with various wallpaper and wall paintings, older and more outdated than the Deep Driller mecha, with slogans of different fighting spirits.

Beside him.

The substantial screen was broadcasting news.

[Another major breakthrough in Martial Arts, three Celestial Beings cooperated, possibly discovering the path to Transcendence]

“This…”

Just at this moment.

Voices sounded from outside the bedroom.

“Chen Shu, come eat, you need to go to school.”

As the words fell.

Qin Jin’s heart moved.

He quickly walked to the bedroom mirror, looking into the mirror.

In the mirror was his own face.

The name Chen Shu was very familiar to Qin Jin; this Martial Saint Stele was established by Mr. Chen Shu, and when he first arrived at Martial Abyss, he even saw the statue of the latter, saw the words he left behind, which made a deep impression on him.

[If the galaxy is dark, Martial Arts is the only undying Starfire]

“This…”

“Is this the first lesson of S-Level?”

“A lesson across countless times from that Martial God predecessor.”

Qin Jin’s heart vaguely had a premonition.

Everything around was vivid and lifelike.

However, Qin Jin knew that this was likely a capability on the spiritual level, allowing him to return to the ancient Federation era, a time even before the Transcendence Realm was established.

And he…

Seemed to substitute for the identity of [Chen Shu] Mr.

Walking to the bedroom door.

Qin Jin hesitated for a moment, then pushed the door open.

Outside the door, there was not a prepared breakfast.

Pushing open the door, in Qin Jin’s view was an unflattened soil floor and a makeshift shelter constructed from discarded materials not far away.

Ahead.

Were several young people dressed modestly but showing longing and anticipation on their faces.

“Chen Shu, we’re waiting for you, the teacher is going to teach us Martial Arts!”

A voice sounded from somewhere unknown.

“Jumping segments.”

“The experience of a Martial God is so long and extraordinary, this is to prevent later generations from indulging in it.”

A flash of thought in his heart.

Qin Jin discarded all distractions in his heart, smiling brightly: “I’m here!”

This smile was from the heart.

At the age of sixteen, on the Mining Star, it was with a smile full of expectation, listening to Wen Jinglun talking about Martial Arts-related information, beginning to learn and master the Breathing Technique for the first time, formally embarking on the Martial path!

…

Martial Abyss Headquarters.

On the Star Sea Island, Chi Chenzhou stood still.

Candle Kite hovered beside him.

In front.

Several S-Class Students showed varied expressions, eyes tightly closed, entering that dreamlike world.

“Hope this batch of youngsters can bring some surprises too.”

Chi Chenzhou’s voice echoed.

He looked towards the Martial Saint Stele emitting dazzling brilliance; in his eyes, a flicker sparkled, as he formed an invisible barrier around the students, adding protection.

“Mr. Chen Shu is truly a great talent.”

Having done all of this, a sense of sentiment grew in his eyes: “Through the long passage of time, the intent left by many later martial artists on this stele has already faded.”

“But the intent left by Mr. Chen Shu still remains.”

“Teaching numerous celestial pride juniors, harnessing the imperceptible force left in their Enlightenment here, endlessly extending, is truly a genius-like concept.”

“The torch never extinguished, passed down generation by generation.”

“If Mr. Chen Shu hadn’t…”

“Perhaps…”

He sighed deeply, murmuring to himself.

“Martial Arts has reached the Ninth Realm.”
