Starting From The Equal Opportunity To Become A Saint

Chapter 100: Martial Dao Transcends Gods, Extraordinary Transformation!

Liu Zimo didn't hold back.

With a single palm, he killed the two middle-aged Taoists whose heads were already damaged, reaping another wave of leeks.

Then, under the fearful and horrified gaze of Jing Shan and Jing De, he lightly brushed his right hand, sealing their spiritual consciousness to prevent them from using spiritual secret techniques to cause trouble later.

"Sisi, take the remaining three and bring them to the Military Affairs Department. Lock them up with the monks from Dalin Temple for interrogation!"

Liu Zimo instructed Yang Sisi in a soft voice.

"However, unlike the monks from Dalin Temple, I want these three to be interrogated to death. Regardless of life or death, I must extract every bit of knowledge about martial arts and secret techniques from their minds, leaving nothing behind!"

"Yes!"

"Don't worry, Advisor Liu. Within an hour at most, they will confess everything they know, complete and intact!"

Yang Sisi replied loudly, understanding Liu Zimo's meaning in an instant.

Just like when they dealt with Monk Wu Chen who violated the killing precept.

Regardless of life or death, regardless of means, squeeze out the last bit of remaining value from them.

Moreover, by deliberately locking them up with the monks from Dalin Temple, they could also use the identity of Elder Zhao Beixuan of the Xuanlong Tiger Mountain to set an example in front of those monks.

After all, Longhu Mountain was a thousand-year-old martial arts sect that was on par with Dalin Temple. Before the catastrophe, there were sayings like "Southern Mountain, Northern Temple".

Now, the Military Affairs Department dared to directly kill the Grand Elder of Longhu Mountain. The monks from Dalin Temple would definitely be frightened when they saw it!

If everything went according to plan, when Zhao Beixuan and the other three died in the confinement room, those stubborn guys like Wu Xing and Zhi Ming would soon surrender!

A moment later, Yang Sisi and Cai Jianghong took Zhao Beixuan, Jing Shan, and Jing De away.

The eight dead Taoist bodies in the villa were quietly taken away by Liu Guangsheng and Wei Yuanbin, who had recovered, and the ground was cleaned up as well.

Xiao Feihong was bored, so she returned to her room upstairs to study spiritual secret techniques.

After the battle with Jing Xin and Jing Yi, the little girl found spiritual attacks more and more interesting and couldn't help but want to study them more.

At this moment, only Liu Zimo and Lou Yuchen were left in the villa's hall.

Seeing that Lou Yuchen didn't intend to leave, knowing that he must have something to say, Liu Zimo politely invited him to sit on the sofa next to him and talk.

"Lou Brother, we can be considered old acquaintances."

"This time, you disregarded danger and captured two Golden Body Realm Taoists from Longhu Mountain alone, which was a great help."

"So, there's no need for Lou Brother to be so restrained in front of me. Just say whatever you want!"

After sitting down, seeing Lou Yuchen hesitate to speak several times, Liu Zimo took the initiative to ask.

Hearing Liu Zimo's words, Lou Yuchen repeatedly waved his hand and said, "Mr. Liu misunderstood. I have no intention of using this favor to ask for something in return!"

"And if we talk about favors, Mr. Liu saved my life twice before, passed on his techniques to me, and gave me opportunities. I owe Mr. Liu a lot!"

After some back and forth, Lou Yuchen finally revealed his true request:

"I have a daughter named Xiao Xiao, six and a half years old. She has been clever and lively since she was young. A month ago, she started practicing the 'Guiding Breathing Technique' and has already reached the initial stage of the Iron Bone Realm."

"Yesterday afternoon, I was surprised to find that Xiao Xiao had already opened up her spiritual consciousness and even awakened the ability to fly."

"In terms of martial arts, I consider myself to have some talent, although not as outstanding as Mr. Liu. But teaching a child is still manageable."

"But when it comes to cultivating spiritual power, I am completely clueless and have no idea how to teach..."

Lou Yuchen rambled on for a while, although he didn't explicitly state his ultimate goal and purpose, Liu Zimo already understood clearly.

This future Martial Saint Yuchen was here to ask him to be a teacher for his daughter!

But to reach the Iron Bone Realm at the age of six and a half, and even independently awaken the ability to fly and open up her spiritual consciousness...

She was another Xiao Feihong!

With such potential and talent, she was no weaker than Lou Yuchen, the future Martial Saint.

For such a prodigy, Liu Zimo would certainly be very interested!

"Alright, Brother Lou, I understand what you mean completely!"

Liu Zimo interrupted Lou Yuchen's words and said firmly, "If you have time later, bring Xiaoxiao to let me see. If we have a good connection, I'll let her practice with me!"

Lou Yuchen was overjoyed upon hearing this and jumped up from the sofa in excitement.

He never expected Liu Zimo to be so easy to talk to. Before he could finish speaking or mention becoming a disciple, Liu Zimo had already nodded in agreement!

It was truly delightful!

"Mr. Liu, please wait a moment. I'll go and bring Xiaoxiao!"

As if afraid that Liu Zimo would change his mind, Lou Yuchen left these words and quickly rushed out of the hall.

Then, within just a minute, he returned to the hall with a young girl who was fair and lovely, bearing a resemblance to him.

From a distance, Liu Zimo saw two bursts of purple light shooting up into the sky, causing his eyes to ache.

As expected, just as Liu Zimo had anticipated, Lou Yuchen's daughter also had a purple lock shadow on her head, just like Lou Yuchen's.

Moreover, the purple had a hint of gold, shining even brighter, almost on par with the lock shadow on Xiaofei's head.

What a treasure!

Liu Zimo was ecstatic.

He never expected that Lou Yuchen's daughter would also be an extraordinary prodigy with a holy-level aptitude.

Furthermore, unlike Lou Yuchen, who didn't have much spiritual cultivation talent, Lou Xiaoxiao not only had outstanding martial talent but was also naturally inclined towards spiritual cultivation. At the age of six, she had independently opened her sea of consciousness, giving birth to spiritual awareness, and smoothly advanced to become a Spirit Yuan Realm cultivator.

In her previous life, if it weren't for her unfortunate luck on the first day of the catastrophe, Lou Xiaoxiao and her mother would have died together, without the chance to fully display her innate talent. Perhaps the city of Luozhou would have witnessed a father and daughter duo of martial saints.

As the two approached, Liu Zimo didn't hesitate and directly used his last remaining binding slot on Lou Xiaoxiao.

[Binding successful! Your good sister Lou Xiaoxiao has come online. Currently available binding slots (60/60)]

Perfect!

Liu Zimo smiled at the corner of his mouth and looked kindly at the little girl standing in front of him.

Being able to receive a second disciple with both martial and spiritual aptitude, and such incredible talent, was definitely the most worthy thing he had encountered today.

"Are you Xiaoxiao?" Liu Zimo slowly squatted down, aligning his gaze with Lou Xiaoxiao's, and gently asked, "Are you willing to become my disciple, learn to protect yourself, and protect your parents?"

Upon hearing that she could protect her parents, Lou Xiaoxiao seemed somewhat moved.

She glanced at Liu Zimo and then turned to look at her father, seeing Lou Yuchen nodding repeatedly in encouragement. With determination, she nodded vigorously and said, "I'm willing!"

"Not only do I want to protect my parents, but I also want to go out of the city like my dad and fight monsters, protecting more people in need!"

The little girl raised her head proudly and earnestly spoke of her great aspirations.

Liu Zimo couldn't help but burst into laughter and patted the little girl's head.

Leaving aside everything else, at least this child's moral character was excellent.

Clearly, she had been influenced and guided by Lou Yuchen and his wife.

However, these were teaching methods from a time of peace and prosperity, which were somewhat outdated.

As a martial artist in the apocalypse, having a kind heart alone was far from enough.

Liu Zimo didn't want his disciples, whom he had painstakingly taught, to become selfless saints who only wanted to give without expecting anything in return.

Too tired, and usually don't live long!

But it's okay, only six and a half years old, young age, malleable values.

In the future, by staying by his side, there will be time and opportunities for her to understand how to better survive in the end times!

At least.

When she wants to help others in the future, she must first have the ability to discern whether those people are worth helping.

Also, while helping others, will she herself be in corresponding danger!

"Good!"

Liu Zimo looked meaningfully at Lou Xiaoxiao and said loudly,

"In the future, you will be the second direct disciple under my Liu Zimo! I will do my best to cultivate you and your senior sister!"

Lou Yuchen heard this and was overjoyed, urging and reminding from the side,

"Xiaoxiao, why haven't you bowed and paid respects to your master?!"

In the entire city of Luozhou, there were countless martial artists who wanted to have their children become disciples of Liu Zimo, but so far, no one has succeeded.

Lou Yuchen was now like dreaming.

Never expected that his precious daughter would pass Liu Zimo's test so smoothly and be directly accepted into the sect!

She was the first in Luozhou!

And she was also a top expert surpassing the Thousand Forest Monastery and the Dragon Tiger Mountain, two thousand-year-old martial arts sects!

Being able to become a disciple of Liu Zimo, Lou Yuchen could already foresee the limitless achievements of his daughter in the future!

"Okay!"

Lou Xiaoxiao nodded lightly, obediently knelt down, and kowtowed to Liu Zimo three times, calling out "Master" in a crisp voice.

Liu Zimo responded and happily reached out to help the little girl up.

At the same time, his mind moved slightly, sending all the martial arts techniques and spiritual secrets suitable for Lou Xiaoxiao's current cultivation level into her sea of consciousness.

While the little girl sat quietly beside, earnestly receiving and digesting the information in her sea of consciousness, Liu Zimo whispered to Lou Yuchen,

"In the future, let Xiaoxiao stay here during the day to cultivate martial arts and spiritual secrets, and you can take her back at night."

"Also, the Military Affairs Department should announce some high-level martial arts techniques or secrets in the next few days. Brother Yuchen, you can choose some that are most suitable for you to practice!"

"What I taught you before, although not bad, is still of a lower grade, and may not completely match your physique."

"Every martial artist is a completely different individual. What kind of martial arts techniques and secrets are suitable for you, you need to personally experience and try to determine. The higher the compatibility, the more effective the cultivation!"

After all, in his previous life, Liu Zimo was just an ordinary martial artist living at the bottom of society, and the highest martial arts techniques he had come into contact with were only Earth Grade.

So the martial arts techniques he taught Lou Yuchen might be very practical in the early stages of cultivation.

But as Lou Yuchen's martial strength continued to improve, those martial arts techniques below Earth Grade would gradually become inadequate and unable to keep up with his progress.

This is also why Liu Zimo took the risk of offending the Thousand Forest Monastery and the Dragon Tiger Mountain, and insisted on passing on the martial arts secrets of these two thousand-year-old sects to the main reason for staying in Luozhou City.

Because not only did he need higher-level martial arts secrets to strengthen himself, but his "good brothers" and "good sisters" also needed more powerful and compatible techniques to cultivate.

"You saw the situation today!"

"Now, not only the monks of the Thousand Forest Monastery have started to come out and show off their martial prowess."

"Even the Taoists of the Dragon Tiger Mountain couldn't stand being lonely and have also come out of the mountain gate, and they are even more lawless and unrestrained!"

Liu Zimo's expression became serious,

"These disciples of the martial arts sects, after losing the deterrence of modern weapons, have become more and more arrogant and no longer regard military law and legal system!"

"If this situation continues to develop, the future world will only become more chaotic and dangerous!"

"For ordinary people to ensure the safety of themselves and their families, they must diligently cultivate and constantly improve their martial strength!"

"Brother Lou, your martial talent is outstanding, and you have the potential to become extraordinary and dominate a region. I have high hopes for you!"

As he spoke, Liu Zimo also patted Lou Yuchen's shoulder forcefully to show his appreciation.

Even if he took in Lou Xiaoxiao, this little genius as his disciple, Lou Yuchen, this old genius, could not be abandoned. When it was time to get pumped up, he must definitely get pumped up.

Otherwise, if all these "good brothers" and "good sisters" slack off in their cultivation, become complacent and self-satisfied, where would he go to share opportunities?

"Mr. Liu, rest assured, I am constantly paying attention to the martial arts techniques and secrets published by the Military Participation Department, and I never slack off in my cultivation!" Feeling the deep concern in Liu Zimo's words, as well as the heavy weight and eager anticipation of his pat on his shoulder, Lou Yuchen was deeply moved and said, "You're right, whether it's for myself or for Xiaoxiao and her mother, I cannot stop progressing!"

"In this apocalyptic world, only by constantly improving myself and becoming stronger can I protect them in an increasingly dangerous world!"

Seeing that Lou Yuchen was so determined, Liu Zimo nodded in satisfaction.

After all, Lou Yuchen was the future Martial Saint. Liu Zimo had great confidence in his cultivation speed.

Normally, as long as he didn't slack off, advancing two stages in a year was not a problem at all!

If luck was good enough, perhaps by this time next year, he would have already broken through to the Grandmaster level, or even stepped into the Manifestation Realm!

After chatting for a while, Liu Zimo used the excuse of taking him as a disciple to send Lou Yuchen away.

Afterwards, before he could even sit down and take a sip of hot tea, he heard another notification from his special ability in his ear.

[Your good brother Zhao Beixuan has had a string of bad luck and died on the spot after suffering severe torture, his blood and energy depleted. His soul has returned to the heavens!]

[The 'Heaven Thief' innate talent passive has been triggered, you have inherited half of the remaining gifts from your good brother Zhao Beixuan before his death, High-level Illusion Formation +200, Concentration Technique +100, Dragon Tiger Steps +100, Martial Dao cultivation +80, Mental Power +50, Soul Strength +30.]

[Your good brother Zhao Beixuan has gone offline, currently available for binding (59/60).]

Boom!

Truly the legacy gift of a Grandmaster-level powerhouse!

Eighty years of martial cultivation instantly erupted in Liu Zimo's Qi Sea!

Allowing Liu Zimo, who was already at the peak of the Manifestation Realm, to break through without any hindrance, smoothly advancing to the Divine Communication Realm in one go!

Martial Dao communicating with the divine, martial intent reaching the heavens!

The sacred level of martial will directly solidified, allowing the spiritual consciousness that originally only existed in the virtual space to faintly materialize from the edge of the barrier!

Just as his martial intent communicated with the divine and his spiritual consciousness transformed from virtual to real!

Under the impact and stimulation of fifty years of foreign mental power cultivation, Liu Zimo's soul cultivation broke through and advanced to a higher level, the Spirit Abyss Realm!

The sea of consciousness was like an abyss, unfathomable!

The boundaries and breadth of the sea of consciousness space expanded infinitely once again!

The origin of the soul and the strength of the spiritual power skyrocketed at a visible speed!

In just a moment, the evolution and transformation from the Spirit Sea Realm to the Spirit Abyss Realm were completely completed!

Both soul cultivation and martial cultivation broke through and advanced to a higher level!

However, under the suppression of Liu Zimo's powerful spiritual power, the aura of his breakthrough did not leak out at all.

Even Liu Guangsheng, Wei Yuanbin, Xiao Feihong, Lou Xiaoxiao, and others in the same room did not notice anything unusual.

No one knew that in that instant just now, Liu Zimo had already completed the leap from the Saint Realm to the Divine Realm!

Overall cultivation strength had silently increased more than tenfold!

Martial Dao communicating with the divine, spiritual consciousness like an abyss!

Whether it was martial will or spiritual thoughts, they could directly cover the entire city!

If a Saint-level martial artist could turn the tide and wipe out thousands of monsters with a wave of their hand, protecting the people of a city with a single gesture.

Then a Divine Realm martial artist could cause the entire city to mourn with a single thought, suppressing or annihilating millions of living beings in the city with just a single thought!

Liu Zimo clenched his fist tightly, feeling the boundless power surging within him, his heart filled with excitement!

Never in his wildest dreams did he expect that after being reborn, he would complete the extraordinary transformation that the three Martial Saints of the Federation had been unable to surpass in the past thirty years in less than three months!
