Chapter 263 Part 1: How Talented Is the Ancestor of the Qiao Family? (1)

Wu Qiankun swiftly flew far into the sky, then descended rapidly onto a low mountain.

He stretched his muscles, and his red skin returned to a normal color, calming down the floating blood in his body.

Trees swayed in the wind in the forest shadows. Zhong Province’s Moon Xuan Envoy, Li Gongde, who had been waiting for a long time, stepped out of the forest to greet Wu Qiankun.

"Li Gongde, did you bring the Spiritual Meat Pill?" Wu Qiankun asked.

"Of course, did Grandmaster Qiankun get hurt in the hands of the cultivators from the Great Dao Sect?" Li Gongde took out a small box from his sleeve. Inside the box was a fist-sized ball of meat, trembling slightly.

…Wu Qiankun looked at him expressionlessly and calmly said:

"Do I look like I’m injured? It’s just that the ‘Ex-human Transformation’ has consumed some of my blood and energy."

Before he finished speaking, tiny round holes on his back started oozing traces of blood, staining his back red.

"Just a bit of blood and energy loss, it’s not a big deal." Wu Qiankun reached out, grabbed the Spiritual Meat Pill without hesitation, and inserted it directly into the bleeding area on his back, without swallowing.

As he moved, the flesh on his back wriggled, wrapping the Spiritual Meat Pill inside.

The Wuji Association, or the Superb Martial Arts mastered by Martial Saints, is mainly based on two points.

The Martial Saint Spiritual Technique and the Flesh Changing Skill are essential.

By using the Martial Saint Spiritual Technique to break through the superb level of spiritual refinement, and then using the overly powerful mind to control the transformation of the human body.

The Ex-human Transformation is a combat form developed by Martial Saints.

The so-called supreme being, in the words of the Martial Saint, represents the ultimate form of a person.

Although it is said that "humans are the most intelligent creatures," the human body is not as suitable for combat as birds or beasts.

Birds have wings to soar high in the sky, and beasts have sharp claws and teeth.

Humans don’t have the sharp eyes of eagles, the keen ears of wolves, the speed of leopards, or the strength of bears.

Untrained humans, without weapons, would basically be risking their lives if they try to fight bare-handed against wild beasts of similar size and weight.

The human body is not made for fighting.

The "Ex-human Transformation" created by the Martial Saint aims for the ultimate human potential.

It keeps the human form but enhances it for battle, making it perfect for combat.

Becoming extraordinary is not as simple as growing pores.

The concept of extraordinariness seeks a human body that is perfectly adapted for combat, with every muscle, every inch of skin, and every organ designed for fighting.

While still appearing human, these beings are fundamentally different from regular people and can be seen as minor superheroes.

The drawback is a high consumption of physical energy.

Prolonged use requires supplements like the "Spiritual Meat Pill."

"Although my ‘Ex-human Transformation’ is not perfected yet, this time… never mind, I shouldn’t worry too much about the Qiao family member."

Wu Qiankun stretched his muscles and all his joints crackled.

Winning or losing is only temporary. The one who laughs in the end is the true hero.

In the past, Earth Sword Immortal dominated the martial world, overshadowing even the Martial Saint and other superb ranked individuals…

Later on, the Martial Saint relied on the Martial Saint Spiritual Technique and had the last laugh, becoming the leading figure in the martial arts world.

And now, Wu Qiankun is practicing the Taotie Swallowing Heaven Skill.

If we meet Qiao Shuanggui again in the future… No, that’s thinking too small.

Who cares about some Qiao family member? Wu Qiankun should compare himself to a cultivator from the Nine Immortal Gates.

With this thought, Wu Qiankun opened his eyes and looked at Li Gongde.

"Anything else?"

Li Gongde was quiet for a moment, then took out a second Spiritual Meat Pill and gave it to Wu Qiankun to take.

Controlling his body, Wu Qiankun swallowed the second Spiritual Meat Pill, his face looking better afterwards.

"If Wu Qizheng were still alive, his Spiritual Meat Pill would be much stronger than these. Why would I need to take two?" Wu Qiankun thought to himself.

"It’s a pity that he sacrificed himself for a noble cause and died at the Nan Province Xuantian Sect altar."

Seventy-two wise men each had their own special skills or exceptional talents.

Wu Qiankun’s talent in the Spiritual Refining Method is the highest, making him the strongest overall, second only to the Martial Saint.

Wu Qizheng’s talent lies in the "Flesh Changing Skill."

The Martial Saint’s "Flesh Changing Skill" aims to adjust the body’s flesh and blood, developing a more efficient and suitable form for fighting as a martial artist.

Wu Qizheng’s "Flesh Changing Skill" focuses more on changes in the body’s flesh and blood, healing injuries. It can be seen as transforming a unique martial art into a special healing technique.

Besides Wu Qizheng’s exceptional physique, his talent is also remarkable, standing out among the three thousand martial arts geniuses of the past.

Wu Qiankun took a brief rest, and finally his condition calmed down.

"Li Gongde, how is the situation of the ambush on the Great Dao Sect cultivators in Zhong Province?" asked Wu Qiankun.

"The cultivators of the Great Dao Sect have always been arrogant, so the plan to ambush and attack them has been successful in ninety percent of cases," said Li Gongde.

"However… we have also suffered more than half of our forces."

During these days, many martial artists have been hunting down cultivators, not just Martial Saint and Wu Qiankun.

The "Taotie Swallowing Heaven Skill" originated from the "Martial Saint Spiritual Technique" and is not difficult to cultivate.

For the Spirit Refining martial artists and superb martial artists of the Wuji Association, becoming a cultivator is like a magical potion that can help them break through, so they bravely take the lead.

"It is normal for more than half of them to be injured or killed. How could martial artists easily talk about challenging immortals?" Wu Qiankun calmly said.

"Although there are not many Spirit Refining martial artists, there are even fewer cultivators from the Immortal Gate."

"It may seem like a lot, but it’s because cultivators have long lifespans, they are the elite of the human race accumulated over hundreds or even thousands of years in the Jiu Province, like dragons and phoenixes among people."

"However, if they die and you want to cultivate a new cultivator, it will be difficult and require a long time."

"An eye for an eye, that’s how we make a living."

"War always claims lives, doesn’t it?"

"In today’s war, although it’s not like the battles of ordinary people with thousands of people fighting, the numbers on both sides are not very large, but it is indeed a war between martial arts elites and the top Immortal Gate."

"But there’s still one issue." Li Gongde said with a look of concern:

"Some cultivators of the Great Dao Sect can perform soul-searching techniques, they can kill and extract memories from people’s souls, without the need for torture, they can forcibly read parts of a mortal’s memories, this will expose the secrets within the Wuji Association."

Hearing about this issue, Wu Qiankun also found it somewhat tricky.

Those martial artists who practice the Taotie Swallowing Heaven Skill are seen as a rare threat to the Immortal Gate, as they are unfamiliar enemies.

But to them, isn’t the Immortal Gate also a challenge worth facing?

During the forty years when the Martial Saint was dormant, the only cultivators who were openly killed by martial artists were those at the foundation building stage.

Although the Wuji Association had some actions behind the scenes, they lacked understanding and ways to deal with the Immortal Gate’s middle and high-level cultivators.

For example, the soul-searching technique mentioned by Li Gongde.

As the strongest martial power in the Jiu Province, the Wuji Association naturally had various means to control their dead soldiers to prevent betrayal and leakage of information.

Such as: life and death symbols, parent-child gu, poison techniques, and hidden poison pills.

These methods were sufficient to deal with the martial forces, even if the Wuji Association’s higher-ups fell into enemy hands, Wu Qiankun could ensure that they would not reveal any secrets.

However, against the Immortal Gate’s soul-searching technique, these means were not very effective.
