Episode 9 – Famous Under Heaven Chapter 22 – The Martial God Calls for an Appointment

After the Martial God Sect’s Grand Master Fahn finished speaking, he got up and walked to the edge of the mountain peak, letting the mountain wind blow his robes around. Linley, on the other hand, digested all that he knew.

From Dimensional Overseer Hodan, Linley knew that reaching the Holy Realm would allow him to leave the Yulan Continent Dimension.

And from Fahn, Linley knew that this Yulan continental plane had a great secret, and that the many other-dimensional powerhouses that had descended more than 5,000 years ago had also descended because of this secret In fact, Linley, who was only twenty-seven years old, had reached today’s accomplishments, which were already very impressive. After all, those superpowers of the Yulan continent who lived in seclusion all over the place had gone through long years of cultivation.

“Whew.”

Linley let out a long breath.

“What’s the point of caring so much? I just need my brother and the rest of them to be happy, and to be able to exterminate the Illuminati to avenge my parents’ deaths, and everything will be enough.”

The goal in Linley’s heart required sufficient strength to support it.

As for Linley himself, he was likewise extremely passionate about cultivation.

The path of cultivation was originally full of ups and downs, hardships, and dangers, and many strong characters had lost their lives on this path, how many had truly reached the peak?

In the entire Yulan Continent, there were only five God-level powerhouses.

Ever since stepping onto this path, Linley’s goal was to stand at the peak of the Yulan Continent, and when he stepped onto this path as a teenager, Linley was prepared to fail and die.

“Back then, at the age of six, I was unable to cultivate the Dragonblood Fighting Qi. And dreamed of being able to become a level seven warrior, a level eight warrior …… And in the end, not only did I become a Dragonblood Warrior, but I also became a magical genius in the Holy Alliance land,”

“When I was a teenager, I dreamed of reaching the Holy Domain one day. And now it’s the peak of the Holy Realm.”

There was a hint of a smile at the corner of Linley’s mouth.

Confidence.

“Faun? Before long, I’ll defeat him as well.”

Linley felt himself filled with passion. Surpassing one expert after another and reaching the pinnacle was what made one feel more and more accomplished.

It wasn’t the final success that truly moved people. Rather, it was the process of stepping onto the road to success, one setback at a time, one breakthrough at a time.

Faun turned his head and looked at Linley. “You can rest here for a while, and when it’s evening, I’ll take you to see your teacher.”

Fahn said with a smile.

“Martial God?”

Linley’s eyebrows lifted.

The Martial God wanted to see himself in person?

“It’s only natural that teacher has something to see you. I’ll be meditating right next to you, so if there’s anything you can ask me.”

Fahn didn’t want to waste time on Linley either, and directly walked over to a stone that was already sitting flat and sat down on his knees with his eyes closed. Linley looked at the meditating Fahn.

“I also don’t know what the Martial God really wants.”

Linley no longer thought much about it and also went to sit quietly on his knees to the side and began to sense and cultivate. In the blink of an eye the sun set.

The body of Faun, who was originally sitting cross-legged on the stone, suddenly blurred and disappeared in a whirlwind. Off to the side of the stone, Fahn’s body appeared. Seeing that Linley had been meditating and cultivating, Faun couldn’t help but nod secretly.

True experts. All of them had to be able to endure loneliness.

Such as Olivia. To meditate alone on that barren mountain was three whole years, and Linley had similarly practiced hard for three years in the Magical Beast Mountain Range. If you couldn’t stand loneliness, it was useless even if your talent was high.

“Linley, it’s almost time, come with me to see your teacher.”

Faun smiled.

Linley also opened his eyes and immediately got up to follow Fahn.

Fahn walked to the edge of the mountain path before his entire body flew directly towards the bottom. Although Linley in his human form wouldn’t be able to fly, when Linley pointed at the ground, his entire person drifted down towards the bottom as well.

Linley controlled the wind. It was also possible to slow himself down.

In just a moment. Faun landed halfway down the mountain, and Linley landed as well.

“Follow me in.”

Fahn walked directly towards a natural cave in front of him, and Linley was a little puzzled in the back of his mind. This Martial God actually lived in a cave?

The cave circled left and right, and after walking for a while, a cave that fell directly towards the bottom appeared in front of him. This cave was unfathomably deep, and at a glance, it was pitch black.

“Go down.”

Faun directly jumped towards it, and Linley similarly followed suit.

“Hoo!”

“Whew!”

The two of them fell at breakneck speed, and Linley was surprised in the bottom of his heart, “This depth is definitely more than two thousand meters, and now it’s already under the ground.”

After falling for quite a while, Fahn and Linley gently landed on the ground as if they were floating leaves.

And then, Linley followed Farn as he continued to advance along the cave, only the temperature inside the cave was getting higher and higher as they advanced.

“What a high temperature.”

With Linley’s body’s own defense, he didn’t dare to resist this high temperature, and had to use his fighting qi to protect his feet, and even his skin and hair had greenish-black fighting qi flowing through them.

If there was no Dou Qi to protect it, I’m afraid that Linley’s hair would have burned directly.

The surrounding stone walls were all red, and after walking for a while, Linley realized that there was a dark stone door in front of him. Under such high temperatures, this stone door didn’t show any signs of turning red, so it wasn’t made of ordinary materials.

“Hohoho” hot airflow passed out from within the stone door, at the same time there was also a faint pressure that passed out, facing this pressure, Linley actually had the impulse to bow down and worship.

“Teacher, Linley has arrived.”

Faun said respectfully.

Martial God?

The Martial God was inside the stone door!

Linley, who had originally been quite calm in his heart, couldn’t help but feel his heartbeat accelerate at this moment, after all, the supreme powerhouse standing at the peak of the Yulan Continent was only separated from himself by a stone door.

“Alright, Farn, you can step back first.”

An indifferent voice rang out.

“Yes, teacher.”

Faun respectfully retreated.

Linley, on the other hand, stood still and waited for this Martial God to speak.

“Linley. Twenty-seven years old, ninth level Grand Magus, already on the path to comprehending the Elemental Lawlands ……”

The Martial God’s voice remained indifferent, “Linley, you’re very good.”

Linley’s brows, however, furrowed.

He felt as if this Martial God’s voice was vibrating his soul over and over again. It was as if the Martial God’s voice was any higher pitched. It would be enough to shake his soul apart.

“Thank you, Martial God for the compliment.”

Linley said humbly.

“What you should know, I’ve already had Faun tell you. There’s a crimson token at the doorway …… You take it, and from today onwards, you’ll be considered a person on my side.”

The Martial God indifferently said.

Linley’s heart shook.

Considered a person on the Martial God’s side?

He glanced to the side of the stone door, where there was a flat stone with a crimson token on it, which was currently slowly flying over to Linley.

There was only one word on it – Wu “What exactly does this Martial God mean? I count him on this side?”

Linley was a little dissatisfied in the bottom of his heart, asking himself to defect, and without any room for discussion at all.

The indifferent voice of the Martial God resounded once more, “According to your current strength. You’re actually not qualified to get this token yet. However …… I see that you will meet the requirements sooner or later, so I will give it to you in advance. With this token, you will have the qualifications to explore the secrets of the Yulan Continent.”

“The secrets of the Yulan Continent?”

Linley uttered.

“Wait until your humanoid state reaches the Holy Realm, or …… after you defeat that Granite Sword Saint Hedson. You can then come back to me. At that time, you’ll be qualified to know the secret, and you’ll truly be worthy of this token.”

The Martial God said indifferently.

However, Linley sensed a kind of loneliness in the Martial God’s words.

In the Martial God’s eyes, the current Earth, Linley, was not yet qualified to possess this token. Linley’s strength, in the Martial God’s eyes, was indeed still very weak. Linley was also very self-aware.

“Martial God.”

Linley said humbly, “You’re saying that I reached the Holy Realm in my human form, or defeated the Granite Sword Saint? Could it be that you think, Martial God. I reached the Saint realm in my human form. Only then can I defeat the Granite Sword Saint Hedson?”

The Martial God was silent for a moment.

“That Black Dessen is known as the number one in the Holy Realm, although in the eyes of the peak Holy Realm powerhouses that live in seclusion all over the continent, the name of the number one in the Holy Realm doesn’t live up to its name. However, Hedson’s strength. Even when placed amongst a group of those who have been cultivating for thousands of years, it’s still ranked in the middle of the pack.”

Linley understood in his heart.

“As for your humanoid state reaching the Holy Realm …… that situation, if you can’t even defeat Hedson, then I feel pathetic for your ancestors.”

The Martial God said indifferently.

Linley, however, laughed.

Obviously, in the Martial God’s eyes, having reached the Holy Realm in his human form, he would definitely be able to defeat Hedson by then. However, today’s self, in the Martial God’s eyes, seemed to be unable to defeat Hedson.

“I just don’t believe that the Martial God knows the true attack power of my Earth Upanishad.”

Linley said in his heart.

Although the Martial God was considered a deity, he couldn’t do anything to know everything.

“Linley, I’ll give you a piece of advice!”

The Martial God suddenly said.

“Please speak, Martial God.”

Linley’s eyes lit up and he immediately listened carefully, the Martial God had stepped into the Lower Gods for more than 5,000 years, his advice should be able to cause him to take many fewer detours.

That indifferent voice came out from the stone door, “There are many types of ground contained within the elemental laws, all you have to do is choose one path and walk down it. It’s best not to study several paths at once.”

Linley was stunned.

The elemental laws were indeed vast, such as the wind elemental law, Linley was mainly studying two paths nowadays, one was speed, extreme speed.

The second was single sword ground power, such as the rhythm of the wind.

“Martial God, why only choose one path?”

Linley pursued.

“Of course you can study the many aspects of elemental law at the same time, no one can force you, just now know my advice, listen or not is up to you, nothing else, you can go back.”

The Martial God indifferently said. Linley, however, hurriedly said, “Martial God, I would like to ask, you gave me this token, what powers do I have as well as what do I need to do?”

“Having this token only means that you have the qualifications to participate in exploring the secrets of the Yulan Continent. As for the rest …… you die, I don’t care about you. Everything relies on you.”

“Then, Martial God, I would like to ask, how many God-level powerhouses are there in this Yulan Continent today?”

Ever since talking to Fahn, Linley had doubts in his heart of hearts as to whether or not there were more than five god level powerhouses in the …… Yulan Continent.

“Five in total.”

The Martial God said indifferently, “It’s only been a few years since that Hisser broke through.”

Linley’s heart was relieved.

There were only a few God-level powerhouses at the peak of the Yulan Continent.

“Martial God, why did you give me this token? And why did you help my brother in the first place?”

Linley pursued, Linley had always wondered about this in the back of his mind. What exactly was the Martial God’s relationship with himself?

It seemed to Linley that this Martial God shouldn’t be seeking something from himself.

After all, the Martial God was far too much stronger than himself.

“You’ve asked enough.”

The Martial God’s voice was cold, “You can go back, it’s better for you not to think too much nowadays, cultivate well, and come back to me when you’ve defeated Hedson, or reached the Saint realm in human form.”

Hearing that the Martial God was getting a little disgruntled, Linley was also very much in the know.

“Martial God, then I’ll take my leave.”

Linley instantly retreated, performing the Wind Shadow Technique, Linley also flew out from the bottom of that cave, eventually walking out of the cave. Upon walking out of the cave and being blown by the mountain wind, Linley also let out a long breath.

With the Martial God, even speaking through the stone door, Linley felt a tremendous amount of pressure.

“Someone from his side?”

Linley looked at the crimson token in his hand, which occasionally saw flashes of gold, a material Linley had never seen before.

Turning over his hand, he then put the crimson token into his spatial ring, and Linley directly descended the Martial God Mountain.

On his way down the mountain, Linley kept thinking about the Martial God’s words of advice in his head.

“There are many paths to studying the elemental laws, you choose one and keep going.”

Linley was actually following just one path when it came to the laws of the earth.

His research was the pulsations of the earth.

Linley shook his head, no longer thinking about it, and directly left Martial God Mountain to return to the imperial capital.

When Linley came back to Martial God Mountain to meet the Martial God the next time, the Linley of that time would have either defeated Hedson or reached the Holy Realm in his human form.
