I Have A Martial Dao World

The date set by Lu Yao happened to be the Qixi Festival.

Er Ya was busy settling the rescued boys and girls that morning and only rushed back in time, followed by the "Three Heroes of Baihe Gully."

It was already past 10, and the guests had arrived early.

In the Otherworld, people also valued "early rather than late," especially when summoned by a Divine Manifestation True Master. To show regard and politeness, everyone had arrived quite early.

The crowd was clearly divided into two sides, one of court officials and the other of Jianghu folks.

At that moment, everyone was greeting Su Er Ya with respectful salutations.

The young girl returned their greetings with composed fist-and-palm salutes; with her graceful appearance and modest demeanor, she exuded the air of a distinguished family's disciple.

The crowd silently praised her: In looks, martial skill, and determination, she excelled in every aspect. This young girl's future was boundless!

Meanwhile, the "Three Heroes of Baihe Gully" were somewhat timid amidst the distinguished assembly. Among them were second-rank officials of the Imperial Court and senior members such as the heads of external affairs and elders from eminent sects, individuals whose stature could shake the ground with a stomp.

The others were also puzzled, observing the three Bone-Tempering nobodies and wondering what they were doing here.

Er Ya said to the eldest brother Zhu, "You, come with me to see Uncle Master."

Zhu Beneng obediently followed behind the young girl amidst the curious gazes of the onlookers, heading toward the mountain's summit.

Upon reaching the mountaintop, Zhu Beneng saw a young man with a calm expression and a demeanor gentle as jade, massaging three majestic Spirit Sparrowhawks.

Each Sparrowhawk was 4 meters long and had a wingspan of nearly 8 meters, with feathers, claws, and beaks gleaming with a metallic chill, clearly Blood-Exchange Realm Spirit Birds.

At that time, they lay submissively on the ground, occasionally rubbing their heads affectionately against their master.

Zhu Beneng quickly knelt and kowtowed, "Zhu Beneng from Baihe Gully, pays respects to Lord Lu!"

Lu Yao casually waved his hand, and Zhu Beneng felt a powerful force lifting him up.

"No need for excessive formalities. I was merely curious to see your breakthrough in the midst of battle. Would you mind if I use Inner Vision on you?"

"Not at all, not at all. Please feel free to look," Zhu replied.

Zhu Beneng was excited, knowing that speaking with a Divine Manifestation True Master was a once-in-a-lifetime boast.

Immediately after, he felt an electric current spread throughout his body, lasting only a few seconds.

Lu Yao nodded with a smile, "To face death and see one's true self without retreat is a perilous breakthrough to firmness in the Spirit Refining Stage."

Zhu Beneng humbly said, "I dare not claim so, my lord. I didn't see through anything, I was actually very afraid of death..."

"To see through life and death is not to be unafraid of dying. To face certain death with composure is to have seen through it."

Lu Yao smiled lightly, "In the face of danger, you showed no fear of violence and were ready to lay down your life. Such character is truly rare. Since we've met, it must be fate. Let me give you a transformative gift."

With that, he tapped on Zhu Beneng's Tanzhong Acupoint, infusing Innate True Qi.

Zhu Beneng instantly felt searingly hot molten iron pouring into his body, almost screaming in agony. However, he knew this was an opportunity, and he forcefully endured with his willpower.

This torrent of heat circulated throughout his body, first refining his organs. Zhu Beneng heard a thunderous rumble within him as if an engine had started, followed by a muffled hum from his nostrils – he had achieved Organ Refining!

But that wasn't all! Lu Yao, seeing every detail of the man's body clearly, could manipulate it at will.

Driven by the Innate True Qi, blood surged through his body, the Inner Breath cleansing deep within his bones. When Zhu Beneng regained his senses, he found that the entire world had changed.

A powerful force surged and roared within him – he had become a Bone-Tempering Martial Artist!

And all this... had taken just a quarter of an hour!

He was dazed and shocked, taking a long while to recover before he hastily performed the grand salutation of three kneelings and nine bows, "Thank you for your enlightenment, True Master! Thank you for your enlightenment!!"

Lu Yao declared loudly, "Although this action was akin to forcing the plant to grow by pulling it upwards, your Spirit Refinement Firmness should prevent any harm. Now, adapt well and make the sudden surge of power truly your own."

"Many thanks, Lord Lu! Many thanks, Lord Lu!!" Zhu Beneng's head buzzed, feeling as if everything was a dream, as he turned into a repeating machine.

Lu Yao said to Er Ya, "Take him down, please, and invite the guests up."

~~~~~~~~~~~

On their way down the mountain, Er Ya solemnly said to Zhu Beneng:

"You have received the Benevolence of your martial uncle; you must conduct yourself uprightly hereafter. Should you commit any treacherous deeds, I will personally clean the sect on behalf of my martial uncle!" Discover exclusive tales on My Virtual Library Empire

"Miss Su's reminder is heeded, I am well aware."

Zhu Beneng glanced back, his heart swelling with profound respect and gratitude.

[With divine guidance, a mortal ascends to heaven...I must cultivate diligently, uphold justice and righteousness, and never tarnish the reputation of Lord Lu!]

By this time, they had already reached the foot of the mountain.

The guests had long been eagerly awaiting, and they promptly surged forward to watch.

Upon watching, they all inhaled a sharp breath of air.

"Eyes brimming with divine essence, muscles, and bones infused with luster flowing through... What's going on? Wasn't this man just a Bone-Tempering Realm nobody! How did he suddenly reach the Spirit Refinement Stage!"

An elderly man clad in a luxurious Taoist robe, his eyes exceptionally bright and spirited, obviously a Spirit Refinement powerhouse, exclaimed at this moment:

"It's clear that Lord Lu has refined him with his techniques, outright incredible! He just went up for merely a quarter-hour, and he ascended to heaven in the blink of an eye!"

Others showed expressions of bitter envy, "Achieving such a realm so easily, how unjust are the heavens! What have we been toiling so hard for all these years?"

Witnessing Zhu Beneng's transformation from a Bone-Tempering nobody to a Spirit Refinement martial master in an instant, those present had a multitude of thoughts, fully displaying the diverse human experience.

At that moment, Er Ya called out loudly, "Esteemed guests, please make your way up the mountain."

Only then did everyone let go of their sentiments, proceeding up the mountain with complex emotions.

~~~~~~~~~~

The number of people present was not large, and even including the younger generation that came along for the experience, there were only nearly a hundred in total.

After all, not just anyone could come; those qualified to visit must have someone of the Innate Realm to anchor their sect.

After ascending the mountain, the guests finally met the long-revered Lord Lu Yao.

"Greetings to Lord Lu."

No matter what they thought inwardly, at this moment, these people were quite respectful and courteous as they took the lead in greeting him.

Lu Yao looked around with a smile, seeing many familiar faces. For instance, leading the officials was Dong Fuxiang, as well as an elderly man in his sixties, surprisingly Li Zhongtang himself.

Feeling Lu Yao's gaze, Dong Fuxiang introduced:

"This is Li Zhongtang, who currently manages all the civic affairs in the city single-handedly."

Lu Yao nodded lightly in acknowledgment before turning to the crowd.

"As it happens, this is the first time meeting everyone since the Jin Realm Divine Manifestation. As per the custom, I am to demonstrate my abilities to you all."

As Lu Yao spoke, a majestic apparition with three heads and six arms emerged behind him in midair.

"It's here!"

At that moment, countless people widened their eyes to observe closely, especially the few with Spirit Refinement Stage abilities who could use the Heavenly Eye; they were utterly focused.

The essence of a Divine Manifestation powerhouse lies in their mind's image; aside from paying respects, those who arrived today came with the task of gathering information about this newly emerged powerhouse.

And observing the mind's image up close was the most direct approach.
