Chapter 430 - 337: Reforging a Sixty-Year Cycle—I’m Not in the Mood to Compete with You Three; Next, I Will Control the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pool!
Hoo-----
A breath like a white ribbon, solid and unscattered.
In the gravity cultivation room, a man with a bare upper body and a determined face lightly exhaled. As he stretched his body, the crisp sound of crackling echoed with the resonance of muscles and bones, causing the entire gravity cultivation room to tremble slightly in response.
The fine sweat beads seeping from his skin were instantly evaporated by the heat of his flesh into rolling white steam.
"The Bone Marrow Cleansing Pool opens today..."
The resolute man took out a military uniform from the space ring and meticulously put it on before walking out of the cultivation room.
"Qin General Star!"
At the door stood two officers with straight backs, each with two bars and four stars on their shoulders, clearly indicating they were both major-level officers.
The two saluted the man, and one of them spoke.
"General Star, please come with me, the car is ready."
"Okay, let’s go then."
After the two left, the remaining major entered the cultivation room, his pupils contracting sharply, showing an expression of admiration.
"Twenty-six times gravity, almost reaching thirty times gravity?!... So strong!"
"It’s no wonder he’s Qin Heng, the General Star."
Ordinary gravity cultivation rooms are mostly limited to five or six times gravity, while ten times gravity rooms mostly exist only in provincial Martial Arts Associations and certain special cities, reserved for Martial Arts Grandmasters at least.
But even for Martial Arts Grandmasters, it is difficult to train for long under ten times gravity.
Qin Heng, a General Star of the Southern War Zone, became famous ten years ago with a single battle, ranking thirty-seventh on the Grandmaster List, but then disappeared overnight and has long since fallen off the Grandmaster List.
All because...
In recent years, the Southern War Zone has been secretly cultivating Qin Heng, and recently, he was officially included in the Dawn Plan, being the second person apart from Su Mu, with the dawn code 010.
He is also one of the four eligible for the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pool this time.
On the jeep, Qin Heng inhaled the mountain breeze, his eyes flashing with battle intent.
"More than ten years have passed in a flash, I wonder how many in the world still remember me, Qin Heng... I’m really looking forward to meeting those two guys this time."
"It’s said that during my mission, a remarkable demon emerged in the war zone... No. 009, Su Mu."
"His dawn code is even above mine..."
Qin Heng slightly narrowed his eyes but soon shook his head gently.
"Anyone who makes the war zone restart the Dawn Plan must have extraordinary qualities, it’s unfortunate that he hasn’t become a Grandmaster yet. My real opponents this time are Ye Wuhen from the Ye Family, and Ximen Gu from the Sword Pavilion."
Qin Heng thought, ten years ago, the three had clashed, and Qin Heng was defeated by both two consecutively, but only lost by a single move, with their strength differing only by a hair’s breadth.
"After this Bone Marrow Cleansing Pool, those two guys will probably also begin to reach for the Fifth Forging and the title, and the positions on the list should change."
"Let’s see who can take the lead in the top ten this time!"
The Grandmaster List no longer restricts age, with positions in the top ten and top twenty firmly occupied by a group of seniors with far seniority over the three, all unanimously being Five Forgings and a step away from becoming Titled Grandmasters, old monsters.
The reason these old guys hesitated to step into the Titled Grandmaster realm is that many of them have lost hope in becoming Martial Saints and fear death.
"A bunch of old guys afraid of death."
When a martial artist’s qi and blood coagulate into a core, stepping into the Grandmaster Realm, the abundant qi and blood can nourish the flesh, significantly enhancing the strength of the martial artist’s flesh, with life force not ceasing, a martial artist’s lifespan greatly increases.
And when a martial artist advances to Grandmaster, a ’rebirth’ phenomenon occurs, even if the flesh is aging at the time of advancement, it will experience a second spring. A major feature of a Grandmaster is that the decline in qi and blood becomes extremely slow.
Though the decline of a Grandmaster’s qi and blood is slow, it still declines, so some Elder Grandmasters often use special qi and blood secret techniques to slow the decline of qi and blood.
Only at critical moments will they truly take that step, then use the breakthrough’s energy to rejuvenate the flesh, thereby recreating sixty years, bringing the flesh back to its peak to achieve extended life.
This is nothing unusual, especially at this special juncture.
The giant beast cave mutation, new relics appearing, a new Martial Saint Tower about to descend.
This gives many elder grandmasters at the forefront of the Grandmaster List a glimpse of a chance to become a saint. That is a Martial Saint, the peak of martial arts, walking above the clouds overlooking all beings, the lifelong pursuit of all the world’s martial artists.
Even this slim hope is enough to drive one insane, and no one would give up hope of becoming a saint.
Moreover, the Martial Saint Tower doesn’t necessarily acknowledge only the most powerful, there are also opportunities involved.
It is foreseeable that once the new Martial Saint Tower emerges, this world will undoubtedly produce a batch of Titled Grandmasters hard to find in previous days in a short time.
...
"In this lifetime, I will shatter the catastrophe!"
Su Mu’s eyes hardened, in the Book of Destiny, he failed repeatedly over several lifetimes, becoming the top of his era in each, but what of it?
Therefore, Su Mu is acutely aware of how difficult it is to turn the tide.
Moreover, there is not much time left...
"Among the storms, only Guardians stand unshaken. To protect everything, one must first gain greater power!"
"From now on, I must strive to enhance my strength as much as possible, acquire more cultivation resources, refine more immortal cells, control more Martial Arts Gates..."
Su Mu clenched his fist.
"The Bone Marrow Cleansing Pool is an opportunity, an excellent opportunity to gain energy, a heritage site activated with Giant Bone Marrow as fuel, possessing defiance after-acquired enhancement of Root Bone, it will inevitably also contain unimaginable terrifying energy."
