Chapter 427 - 334: Spreading Martial Might Across the Land, Martial Ancestor, and the Abruptly Cut-Off Future!
In the analysis given by the Book of Destiny, Su Mu’s lifespan still stopped at the year 1057 of the Martial Dao Civilization, with not even a slight change in the specific month.
Suddenly, Su Mu realized the severity of the problem.
His habit was to think of the worst-case scenario; Su Mu did not believe this was merely a coincidence.
"December 1057... Could something major happen thirteen years later?"
"What exactly could it be?"
Su Mu thought for a moment but found no clue, so he continued to look further down, and his gaze quickly landed on the martial arts section.
[Martial Arts: Tier Eight Apprentice (Peak)]
Su Mu’s previous guess had come true. The purple shadow in the soul inheritance place of the giant once mentioned Tier Six Apprentice, and at that time his cultivation was precisely that of a Sixth Level Martial Artist.
"Tier Eight Apprentice corresponds to a Grandmaster of third forging or above, or a Great Grandmaster..."
"The Martial Saints at the pinnacle of martial arts in this world might merely be at Tier Nine Apprentice in the eyes of such transcendent beings, and Martial Saints might be just the beginning of everything..."
"Needing external objects like the Martial Saint Tower to ascend to the Saint Realm, the martial arts of the humans in this world were inherently... flawed; they started on the wrong path from the beginning."
Su Mu’s eyes slightly flickered; last time, his martial arts cultivation was divided according to the martial arts realm of this world, but this time it was different.
Perhaps it was because he had successfully integrated the Martial Arts Gate a few days ago, genuinely taking a step that was completely different from the martial arts of this world.
This transcendent step is the correct path of martial arts.
It is the step for martial artists to truly transcend the constraints of this planet and step towards the stars!
Su Mu’s heart inevitably grew a little fervent, but he quickly took a deep breath to calm himself, knowing that now was not the time for deep thinking about this.
The Book of Destiny continued to flip, the deduced life unfolding slowly.
[At thirty-three, the Tier Six Apprentice touched the embryo of destruction and reversed the Martial Saint Illusion of the Overlord Blade...]
[In the same year, leveraging the thousand-person Blood Eagle Battle Array in the Southern War Zone, he integrated the contemporary Three Great Three Flowers Technique, condensed the Martial Arts Gate, and stepped on the supreme path of martial arts,...]
[Thereafter, he entered the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pool, completed the third Bone Tempering as an acquired step, and perfectly laid the foundation into Tier Seven Apprentice...]

[Posthumously honored as -------------- Martial Ancestor by later generations!]
[Historic evaluation of the character: Eight-Star!]

...
Su Mu read page by page, various thoughts flashing through his mind.
Although his lifespan was trapped in a desperate situation, his life in this lifetime underwent earth-shattering changes.
Indeed, destiny is ephemeral and uncertain. The Book of Destiny would use his current self as the anchor point for deduction.
First of all, it is apparent that his life now includes Immortal Cells, Martial Arts Gates, inscriptions, and his martial arts realm has also changed.
"Still underestimated the power of Immortal Cells and Martial Arts Gates!"
"Controlling three Martial Arts Gates alone is enough to grant me the power to slay the Overlord Blade Martial Saint."
"Ten Immortal Cells, mastering the fourth Gate of Power is enough to roam Huaxia, defeating all Martial Saints of Huaxia!"
Su Mu’s eyes flickered, his heart was extremely fervent, as initially he estimated a hundred Immortal Cells would be needed to compete against Martial Saints, now it seems far less is required...
"Not quite, simple Immortal Cells indeed couldn’t achieve this, the Martial Arts Gate is also critical."
"Moreover, this world’s path of Golden Body cultivation after Grandmaster is not wrong either, it seems the key node in this world’s martial arts lies in becoming a Saint, it was in that step it went astray."
Su Mu thought to himself.
"Comprehend Space Inscription, achieve Inscription Grandmaster, personally forge a Tier Eight Grandmaster Level Weapon?"
Seeing this, Su Mu himself felt somewhat surprised.
He was someone who initially felt a headache when seeing runes, and not long ago felt grateful that his Little Junior Sister could inherit the teacher’s mantle, yet he unexpectedly became an Inscription Grandmaster later.
It only shows that the future holds endless possibilities.
"I didn’t expect, as Su Mu, I could achieve something in the field of inscriptions."
He continued to read further.
Su Mu’s gaze fell on the Sword Intent following the Peak Blade Momentum, in the deduction of the Book of Destiny he still needed more than six years to comprehend Sword Intent.
This timeframe somewhat exceeded Su Mu’s expectations.
"The harder it is to master, the stronger it means it must be. The Sword Intent must be exceedingly powerful, truly something to look forward to!"
Additionally, Su Mu also noticed the embryonic form of destruction, and the Power of Destruction Rule, suddenly becoming clear in his mind.
"The Power of Destruction Rule huh, the fusion rule power of water and fire, I see, the deduction stated I attempted incorporating this power into the Sword Intent."
Su Mu’s eyes lit up, gaining inspiration from it, as previously he hadn’t thought about integrating the Power of Rules into the Sword Momentum, directly merging the Power of Destruction Rule failed, but subsequently, he might be able to start trying from the individual Power of Water and Fire Rules.
At once, Su Mu had a clearer understanding of the path he should take next, but he would not entirely follow the deduction of the Book of Destiny, using it as a guiding reference was enough.
As for the subsequent contents of the deduction, Su Mu had some anticipation.
Such as spreading martial arts under the heavens.
At this moment, Su Mu already had such a notion; trying it out in MiaoMiao, XiaoYue, and his teacher among others, but he also clearly understood that this couldn’t be started before gaining strong power.
Once leaked, it’d cause endless troubles; an undisclosed treasure invites guilt.
In the end, Su Mu did not indulge in the so-called titles of Military God or Martial Ancestor, his gaze fell on Sword Abyss.
"In this life, I am much stronger than the previous one... but still met my end in Sword Abyss."
At this moment, Su Mu recalled what Marshal Yue had said, each Martial Saint of Huaxia had their own duty, within which the Martial Saint of Sword Pavilion guarded the Sword Abyss.
"If in the deduction, the future me could push through innumerable saints of the world, why would I meet my demise in Sword Abyss?"
"What exactly exists within Sword Abyss? Is there a presence more terrifying than the Giant Beast Cave?"
For a moment, Su Mu linked it to that area shrouded in black mist, a vague guess surfaced in his mind.
"Could it be that the land covered in black mist lies beneath the Sword Abyss?"
"And what is the origin of that vanished Dream Shadow? Could it also be within Sword Abyss..."
Su Mu watched as the Book of Destiny slowly closed, his eyes slightly narrowed, and he immediately performed a second deduction.
[Name: Jiang Miaomiao]
[Gender: Female]
[Lifespan: Martial Dao Civilization August 1011----December 1057]
Martial Dao Civilization December 1057?!
The familiar words came into view...
Instantly, Su Mu felt a chill.
A familiar voice vaguely echoed at this moment.
"Time is running out..."
