Chapter 571 - 316: Heavenly Star Descends, Thunder Domain

Thunder Shock Fist (Perfection)!

The Thunder Shock Fist is a fist technique created by Su Mu by integrating the Gale Fist at the Realm of Perfection with the Rock Shattering Fist at Perfection. It is also the first fist technique that Su Mu created on his own.

It can be said that this first martial arts technique opened up the path for Su Mu to create his martial arts. Without this groundbreaking success, perhaps there wouldn’t have been the Molten Fire Golden Body, and he wouldn’t have thought of inferring the Five Animals Qigong to Entry Level.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Thunder Shock Fist is an important turning point in Su Mu’s Martial Dao. Starting from the Thunder Shock Fist, Su Mu’s Martial Dao began to embark on a unique path of his own.

It is not about adhering to conventions, imitating others to cultivate martial arts, but tailoring the necessary martial arts according to one’s own needs.

Crack—!

A crisp and melodious sound echoed in Su Mu’s mind, continuous after the first. Not long after leaving the city, Su Mu found it difficult to suppress his breakthrough just as the Thunder Shock Fist reached Perfection.

"Here it is!"

With Bai Jiao Mountain within reach, Su Mu sat cross-legged on the stone steps. No one could have guessed that the murderer who killed Tao Family’s second patriarch would dare to return to Bai Jiao Mountain.

Comprehension: 201!

The extreme of the Dragon-and-Phoenix Level Enlightenment, which once triggered abnormal phenomena, was shattered at this moment. The dragon of spiritual power at the center of Su Mu’s brows let out a high-pitched roar at this moment.

Immediately, the few features belonging to the jiao on his body quickly disappeared, and a majestic aura was brewing as the sea of consciousness was undergoing a metamorphosis from jiao to dragon.

Meanwhile, Su Mu’s divine soul once again soared straight up into the sky from the center of his brows. The grand city of Donglai County, with its population of millions, was constantly shrinking and becoming insignificant in Su Mu’s eyes.

Prosperity vanishes in an instant, insignificant.

Only that great river of Donglai, like a white dragon coiled on the earth, flowing timelessly, tirelessly, and only the thunder in the sky and the shadow of stars and the moon reflected by that great river endure eternally.

"Buzz!"

And at that very moment, Su Mu, seated cross-legged on the ancient steps of Bai Jiao Mountain, felt a tremor in his soul. His gaze was no longer confined to the earth but began to lift toward the heavens.

His eyes passed through the raging storm clouds of the silver snake, landing on those ever-present stars—Taiyin, Sun, Beidou...

They reside high in the nine heavens, aloof and beyond reach, unaffected by the changing times on earth, the downfall of Pre-Qin, the rise of Great Yan, demon fiends causing chaos, or peaceful eras. Only the passage of endless years might bring them slight changes.

"Boom—!"

In a daze, he saw beams of light descending from their lofty perch in the nine heavens, and those ’lucky ones’ on the earth who were favored by the stars, all possessing talent unimaginable to ordinary people, rapidly rose to heights unattainable even by geniuses.

One person can stir up a storm, leaving a significant mark in the history books.

And in Su Mu’s perception, the stars above the vast sky seemed to be influenced by some force, shifting and rotating. Suddenly, a dazzling, yet seemingly otherworldly, nameless star poured its light onto the world.

Falling upon the boy.

In the Great Yan Dynasty, in the Depths of the Clouds, there was a nameless Taoist temple.

An elderly man with white hair and a white beard suddenly awoke beneath the peach blossom tree, a pitch-black chess piece slipping from his fingers into the game board that had remained unfinished for years.

"Oh?"

Even the collapse of Tai Mountain wouldn’t shake this old man, but at this moment, he suddenly looked toward the night sky. In the night sky, an unnamed star dazzled bright, dragging a splendid tail flame to illuminate the long night.

"There are more variables, should I intervene..."

Opposite the chessboard was no one, as if the old man was not playing with a person, but against the unknown existence of this world.

The old man’s eyes were profound, capable of engulfing light, and as he focused on the unintentionally dropped black chess piece, he reached out to take it...

Only to suddenly realize that a lifeless game appeared to hold unexpected vitality.

"Once placed, no regrets..."

The old man stared at the chessboard in silence, continuing this endless game.

"Celestial movements, starlight descending—could this be the birth of an Innate Sacred Body or Divine Body in some noble family or royal holy land?"

"This is remarkable, first the Red Tiger Roaring at the Moon, and now an Innate Sacred Body, Divine Body is born... Immediately send people to investigate the infants born in Qingzhou recently. Dispatch people to Qingzhou Academy, Qingfeng Temple, Longfu Temple, and Qingzhou noble families to gather information. I want to know who this person is at the earliest possible moment!"

"An Innate Sacred Body, Divine Body? I happen to need a body. If I can refine an Innate Sacred Body, Divine Body and seize it, perhaps my cultivation can advance further, reaching that realm!"

"Qingzhou, Qingzhou again. Pass my royal command immediately to have the Lin Feng Iron Cavalry thoroughly investigate this matter. This person must serve my Great Yan; if obtained, my Great Yan will surely flourish for millennia, and my royal line may progress further."

"If this person is first wooed by the Family Holy Land, obstinate and not realizing their mistakes, then execute on the spot and bring back the body..."

For a time, within the Great Yan Dynasty, the royal family, many ancient noble families, and holy lands noticed the celestial phenomenon. This phenomenon implied the birth of a peerless genius.

If they can be used, with wholehearted nurturing, as long as they do not pursue the path of a martial artist, in the future, they will undoubtedly become a formidable force that can bring prosperity to their family for a thousand years, or even longer!

If they are enemies, they must be preemptively dealt with, eradicating great threats with no room for future troubles.

Some sinister demonic paths have covertly targeted Su Mu’s physical body, believing that if they can find this Innate Sacred Body, Divine Body, they could fully utilize secret techniques to seize this gifted body for their own use and compensate for congenital deficiencies, thereby advancing cultivation further!
