Dragon Blooded War God

“How was it? Did you get the Red Emperor Seal?” Long Chen asked hurriedly when he saw Long Yue.

She shook her head with a bitter smile and said, “I did my best, but I only managed to go twenty-five meters deep. That’s only half the journey! Unless I reach the Fourth Earthly Martial Stage, it’ll be impossible to get the Red Emperor Seal. Only the Martial Overlord can get it, but he’s not here.”

“What if you cultivate here until you reach the Fourth Earthly Martial Stage?” asked Long Chen.

She thought for a while and then shook her head. “No, I still have a long way to go before I reach the Fourth Earthly Martial Stage. I don’t know what will happen to the Divine Fire Realm during that time. If I stayed here for too long and got stuck, that would be a tragedy. Thankfully, if I can’t get the Red Emperor Seal, the others can’t either.”

Long Yue did not know that not just the Red Emperor Seal, but also the Black Emperor Seal were with Long Chen.

He thought for a while and decided not to tell her about them. He trusted Long Yue, but one could never be too cautious. Then again, they were only useful when all five seals were together. It would be useless telling her now anyway.

Then Huangfu Fengchen and the others also emerged from the solar fire. Just like Long Yue, they were dusty and disheveled, and none of them had managed to reach the Red Emperor Seal. How would they feel if they knew that the Red Emperor Seal they had worked so hard to get was actually with Long Chen?

Most importantly, Long Chen even had the Prismatic Key, which led to the treasure of the Five Emperors.

Xiaolang was in a deep sleep. Long Chen guessed that when he woke up, he would be a King-tier demonic beast.

It was time to leave the Divine Fire Realm, but since he was with Long Yue, he had to wait for her, or the others would attack him when he got out.

After all the four masters emerged and saw that everyone else was disheveled, they all privately sighed in relief. They knew that no one had gotten the Red Emperor Seal. However, they did not give up or leave immediately.

They all sat down to cultivate using the King Crystals. They absorbed the Martial Essence within them and slowly healed. They would need about half a day to recover all their lost essence.

Long Yue had also exhausted all her essence.

She initially also wanted to sit down to cultivate, but when she looked at the mini transporter, her face changed. She approached Long Chen and whispered, “Chen’er, don’t touch the mini transporter, and don’t try to leave yet.”

“Why?” Long Chen asked, puzzled.

“That’s a transboundary mini transporter. When you cross between worlds, there will be a huge tear in space. Although you have cultivated a King-tier body tempering technique, you are not at the Earthly Martial Realm yet, and you do not possess essence or an Earthly Martial Body. The tearing force will destroy you! If you try to use the transporter, you’ll likely be severely injured, and it could result in permanent damage!” Long Yue explained with a frown.

“Huh?” Long Chen was stunned and quickly asked Little Cat, “Fat Cat, is what she said true?”

“It is true, haha …” Little Cat’s laughter sounded a little guilty.

“Then why didn’t you say so earlier?”

“I am a god! How could I remember the details relevant to weaklings like you guys? To me, you are no different from a normal human. When I was at my peak, I could kill millions of you with just a breath …”

Long Chen had not expected an obstacle like this and was speechless. He looked up and asked, “Big Sister, doesn’t that mean that I have to reach the Martial Realm if I want to leave?”

Long Yue nodded. “That’s the only way for now. You have already reached the Ninth Passage Stage, and it is already time to break through anyway. Since I can’t get the Red Emperor Seal for the moment, I’ll teach you the cultivation method now.”

Long Chen thought for a while and knew that this was a rare chance. He knew nothing about the Earthly Martial Realm, so with Long Yue teaching him, it would be easier. The only thing that worried him was whether anything would happen to the Divine Fire Realm if he did not leave soon.

The other three people were busy recovering, preparing to try again. Long Yue said, “I am sure that none of us will get the Red Emperor Seal unless we reach the Fourth Earthly Martial Stage. Since that is the case, I will fully focus on teaching you. Let me recover my essence first, or I won’t be able to demonstrate. Of course, I will first explain the theory of the Earthly Martial Realm’s cultivation so you understand.”

“Thank you, Big Sister,” he said, nodding hurriedly.

“We’re siblings; you don’t have to thank me. Plus, we are related by blood, so it’s only natural that you should call me ‘Big Sister.’” Long Yue spoke in a cold tone, but there was a hint of gentleness hiding in her cold glare, especially when she spoke to Long Chen.

“I understand,” he replied. He had never respected authority, but in front of Long Yue, he felt like he was speaking to an elder.

“The cultivation of the Earthly Martial Realm comes in two parts. The first part is the same as the four foundational realms, which consist of meditating and absorbing the spiritual Qi of the earth to strengthen your essence. The second part is comprehending the word ‘martial’ during your punching routine. As a result, you will form your Martial Soul within your sea of consciousness!

“Your punches are the foundation of your martial abilities. Once you master your punches, you will master swordsmanship, seal techniques, and finger techniques. It does not matter if they are attacks with or without weapons—they are an extension of punches. Master your punches, and the other attacks will come easily. The Earthly Martial Fist Manual explains all of this. If you follow the manual in its entirety, you will complete your Earthly Martial Soul and reach the Ninth Earthly Martial Stage. Of course, that is easy to say but difficult in practice. I’ll recover my essence while you read the summary and first part of the manual.”

Then Long Yue took out a manual. It was not large and did not have many diagrams. Most of it consisted of introductions and guidance for the main concepts. Due to the transparent walls, he could not take the manual, so she opened it and placed it on the ground for him to read.

He was smart and had a photographic memory, so after scanning the words a few times, he memorized almost everything. Of course, memorizing and understanding them were two separate matters.

Due to his comprehension abilities and battle experience, he had a deeper level of understanding of the concept of “martial,” so cultivating would be smoother for him.

The Four Foundational Realms really were just the foundations.

Long Chen nodded as he thought about the meaning of the text.

The eighteen heavenly rivers become Martial Veins that pass through the entire body, while the nine meridian points become the nine Martial Meridians and are the center points of the body’s power. Most importantly, Qi becomes Essence and thickens so that one’s strength multiplies by many times…

After reaching the Ninth Passage Stage, a cultivator reaches the limit of the strength that his consciousness can control. Therefore, he needs to strengthen his consciousness by turning it into a Martial Soul so that it can control even more power. The cultivation process of the Earthly Martial Realm is actually a strengthening process for the Martial Soul. Absorbing more earthly spiritual Qi to become essence is a separate but not very significant step.

My Blood Transmutation can help me quickly gather martial essence, but cultivating the Martial Soul will require comprehension and diligence. Comprehending my punching technique is the most important step.

Cultivating at the Earthly Martial Realm also condenses and trains the Martial Soul. The strength of the Martial Soul is reflected in one’s martial abilities. This is a process that is related to the earth.

One must connect to the pulse of the earth and borrow the power within the earth to boost one’s attacks. This will result in an attack several times stronger. The martial soul is also strengthened when it connects to the earth …

The pulse of the body connects to the pulse of the earth. This energy comes in endless waves, and reaching the First Earthly Martial Stage allows one to use the first stage of the earth’s pulse, strengthening the cultivator’s attack by a factor of one. Reaching the Second Earthly Martial Stage allows one to use two waves of the earth’s pulse, and at the Ninth Earthly Martial Stage, a cultivator can multiply their strength by nine times! Just a simple punch would be enough to make a mountain tremble …

A cultivator must connect to the earth to become a true master.

Utilize the potential of every part of a cultivator’s body.

Condense and train the martial soul. With a stronger martial soul, a cultivator can more accurately control the strength in their body. The martial soul is able to concentrate the body’s power in one dot, preventing any energy loss. This results in an even stronger attack!

From this, Long Chen understood why masters at the Earthly Martial Realm like Long Yue could carve out a smooth hole in a boulder.

After looking through the manual, he roughly understood what the Earthly Martial Realm was.

In order to reach the Earthly Martial Realm, I must first sense the power of the earth. Then I need to guide it and inject it into my body. Standing on the ground while performing punches is the easiest way to sense the earth. Every punch and every time a cultivator’s foot lands on the ground can help them improve until their attack is completely connected to the pulse of the earth.

Long Chen took off his shoes so that his bare feet were on the ground. He slowly felt the energy of the earth.

It was cold.

That was what he felt.

It shouldn’t just be cold. I need to feel the movement. The earth is not still; it is moving. It’s just that we are on it, so we cannot feel its movements …
