Chapter 563
Chu Shu had momentum now, and his prospects looked bright—but anything could happen in the Holy Land. He'd made himself extremely visible, and a rising star with an uncertain future was still a risk. If he fell before reaching his full potential, the Holy Land Heaven Sect would be in serious trouble.Still, some were optimistic. What if Chu Shu eventually became a Martial Saint himself? Then the sect's glory could last for centuries—maybe even longer, under the leadership of a true Saint.Whether to join or not was everyone's own choice to make.Chu Shu wasn't in a hurry. There was still a month left, after all, and he knew this offer was a considerable gamble on his part—an investment meant to draw in real talent. Once the Holy Land Heaven Sect was properly founded, it couldn't rely on him alone, nor even on the seven divine powers of the Ancient Territory Heaven Sect—there simply weren't enough true masters among them. Becoming a top power in Tiansheng City would be nearly impossibl
Chapter 562
To everyone watching from outside, the scene was staggering. Chu Shu released his magical power, and the terrible black hole dropped directly onto Chen Peng, vanishing into his body. In the void, the great sword power Chen Peng had summoned collapsed the instant the black hole touched it, crumbling as though it had never existed at all.Chen Peng didn't move. Then, with a heavy thud, he simply fell.The mighty Sword Master—unable to withstand even a single moment of Chu Shu's power. His body hit the ground and the light left his eyes.Dead. Sword Master Chen Peng was dead. Killed almost instantly.This was what a true Martial Lord looked like.The crowd stood frozen in disbelief. Silence swallowed the entire villa—so complete you could have heard a pin drop.What had they just witnessed? No grand clash, no drawn-out struggle. Just a single exchange. Both men had released their full power. Chen Peng's One Sword Opens the Gate of Heaven had lived up to every bit of its reputation. And C

Chu Shu gave him a small nod. Cui Xuan understood exactly why Chu Shu had challenged Chen Peng—to build a reputation, and to secure a spirit stone vein that would let him gain a real foothold in the Holy Land. This would benefit the Ancient Territory Heaven Sect most directly, but Chu Shu also had a loose but genuine relationship with the Haoxian Sect. At the very least, its people treated him with respect and goodwill. If Chu Shu succeeded in establishing himself here, it would benefit the Haoxian Sect too.To most onlookers, this looked like a clash between two martial masters. But to Chu Shu and Cui Xuan, it meant far more than that—Chu Shu was carrying the hopes of every warrior from the ancient territory into this fight against Chen Peng."Look, Lord Chu's here.""Whether the Li family's exaggerating or not, he must have real strength. You don't get called 'Lord' for nothing.""Right—otherwise how would he even dare challenge Sword Master Chen Peng?""Everyone knows Chen Peng's t
Chapter 560
All eyes turned to a calm-looking warrior sitting among them: Chen Peng himself, the man who held the whole villa together. He'd made his name young—not that he was particularly old even now. His talent had simply been extraordinary from the start, and after condensing his great sword power, he'd taken on challenger after challenger without a single loss, earning the title Sword Master. He didn't handle the villa's day-to-day affairs—he devoted himself entirely to swordsmanship—but his word still carried enormous weight. When Chen Peng spoke, it was, in effect, the villa's decision.Chen An looked to him. "Chen Peng. What do you think? Do we accept?"Chen Peng opened his eyes. The instant he did, it felt to everyone present as though a sword had been drawn from its sheath—cold, sharp, unmistakable."Accept," he said. "Chu Shu sent this challenge through the Li family. We can't very well refuse it. Besides—I want to see this legendary infinite magical power for myself. What exactly ear
Chapter 559
The title was, after all, just an honorific—a mark of respect for combat prowess, not an official rank. And titles like that could easily be manufactured. Chu Shu himself had clawed his way up from being a weak martial artist to where he stood now, and he knew firsthand how common exaggeration was in the fighting arena. Someone calling themselves the "Sword God," another the "Sword Master." One "Blood Reaper," another "Human Slaughterer." No shortage of self-proclaimed kings, overlords, and founding ancestors. But were they really as powerful as their titles suggested? Rarely. Even a butcher might dare call himself some grand title if no one challenged it."Martial Lord" was simply a title within the martial world—one that, with the right manipulation, wasn't hard to obtain. And with the backing and influence the five lesser powers commanded, arranging that kind of reputation was easy enough. That was likely why, despite lacking an actual Saint, these powers always seemed to have a "M

"Brother Chu, I'd advise giving up on that idea. Heavenly Spirit Water isn't something we can touch. It comes from Heavenly Spirit Mountain—which is also known by another name: the Heavenly Spirit Holy Sect. The water is essentially monopolized by them. A few other holy sects control small amounts as well, but their output is minor. Only the Heavenly Spirit Holy Sect produces it in real quantity, and that alone has made them nearly the wealthiest and most powerful sect in the entire Holy Land. Not even the Immortal Sects can match their wealth."Chu Shu fell quiet, thinking it over. "The Heavenly Spirit Holy Sect..." he murmured. He'd heard the name mentioned more than once."Every holy sect has a Heavenly Saint at its head," Li Guang continued. "Saints are divided into three tiers—Heavenly Saint, Earthly Saint, and Human Saint. Together, they're called the Three Sacred Realms. Tiansheng sits at the very top of those three, nearly at the absolute limit of what a Saint can achieve. The
