Hualala~~~

A waterfall a hundred feet high cascaded down from the cliff, like mercury spilling onto the ground, splashing wildly.

"Qin..."

Chen Ku initially intended to address Qin Yuxian as senior brother, but realizing they were in the Martial Arts Heaven and Earth, he swallowed the latter half of his sentence and changed it to:

"Grandmaster, you too have entered the Martial Arts Heaven and Earth?"

"It's all because of that pedantic scholar from the Martial Temple, who clandestinely altered the Dragon-locking Stone checkpoint, fusing it with the martial remnants of an ancient Jiao Hou into the Giant Turtle Stele, turning the Dragon-locking Stone checkpoint into a hellish difficulty... As the chief examiner for this martial test, how could I ignore the candidates' safety?"

Qin Yuxian was currently full of dissatisfaction towards Scholar Zhu Xuantong, who was responsible for the Dragon-locking Stone checkpoint, almost causing his Imperial Enlightenment Sect to lose its only heir.

"But speaking of it, for you to withstand the attack of the ancient Jiao Hou who possessed the 'Blowing Fur to Soldiers' Divine Skill and successfully slay it, is truly earth-shattering."

Chen Ku shyly smiled and said, "Luck, just luck."

"In this Martial Arts Heaven and Earth, it's not convenient to say much, and you need not explain."

Qin Yuxian lightly coughed and said:

"Since you're safe and sound, you now have two choices. You've already broken two records and have exceptionally obtained the title of 'Scholar' in one martial test, and now you just need to exit for me to fulfill my promise. Do you wish to exit now?"

Chirping, chirping...

Chen Ku listened to the sparrows chirping in the nearby forest. On his journey, he had unknowingly assigned hundreds to thousands of sparrows and mice as his intelligence agents.

Now, since there's a solution, he didn't want to leave in a hurry.

He half-jokingly said with a smile, "Isn't there still one day left? I'm willing to experience another day."

Qin Yuxian guessed Chen Ku's intention.

Taking a deep breath, he used Sound Transmission into Secret to say:

"I know you're full of confidence now, perhaps wanting to try searching for the Champion Marquis's Martial Arts Mark..."

Chen Ku maintained his composure, thinking, the clues are already there.

Qin Yuxian's inner voice echoed in his heart, saying:

"As for the Champion Marquis's Martial Arts Mark, I was just saying. Even if you can find it, it's difficult to defeat, do you know what level the Champion Marquis's Martial Arts Mark is?"

"The Champion Marquis was one of the most dazzling young talents since our Ji Dynasty was founded. When he debuted at the age of sixteen, he already had Seventh Realm Gang Control cultivation. The Martial Arts Mark in the Martial Arts Heaven and Earth was left by him when he debuted. Though the Martial Arts Mark isn't like the person himself, it's only a manifestation of part of his martial arts, but it still originates from the most dazzling young general of the current dynasty... If you can find it and have a sparring encounter, that's enough. Don't imagine you can defeat it.

Because it has three stages.

The first stage suppresses its battle power to the same level as the challenger's cultivation strength.

The second stage unlocks half of its strength to spar with the challenger.

The third stage unlocks the entirety of its Martial Arts Mark comparable to the Seventh Realm.

But don't worry, the Champion Marquis was ever loyal to the country. Although he was proud, he would never kill those who challenged him. That's why I suggested you go look for the Champion Marquis's Mark."

Upon hearing Qin Yuxian's words.

Regarding the legendary spirit of the Champion Marquis, Chen Ku also heard from Guan Hongluan. A legendary figure, radiant as a shooting star, debuted at sixteen and reached Thirteen Realm cultivation at twenty-three, making countless contributions during the founding period of the Daji Dynasty...

In the ancestors' records of the Ji Country, it is documented.

Whenever the Grand Ancestor went on campaign and encountered capable individuals, creatures from the Three Mountains and Nine Islands, be they demon, demon, god, or monster, the Grand Ancestor would order the Champion Marquis to take them down, successfully doing so in one strike with a silver spear, challenging countless masters from ten states and three islands.

When the nation was pacified, the Champion Marquis was only twenty-one.

The Grand Ancestor favored him more than his own children, intending to bestow the surname Yang and make him a King, but the Champion Marquis declined...

Then, at twenty-three, he passed away without illness.

This is one of the early mystery histories of Ji Dynasty.

No one would believe that a powerful Martial Practitioner of the Thirteen Realm would pass away without illness at the mere age of twenty-three, as for the true facts, even a Commandery Princess like Guan Hongluan knows very little.

In short,

to Chen Ku's understanding, this Champion Marquis was undoubtedly a 'Child of Destiny' template of existence.

He had an understanding of his strength.

Using all his resources, he could barely kill an ancient Jiao Hou with the skill to Pluck Hair to Make Soldiers, and if face to face with the Champion Marquis...

Fortunately, Qin Yuxian assured him that although the Champion Marquis is strong, he wouldn't strike to kill.

Since that's the case, how could he not seek the challenge.

"Alright, since you've decided to stay another day in the Martial Arts Heaven and Earth, I'll go back to Baojiao County and wait for you."

"Farewell, Grandmaster."

Chen Ku cupped his hands, watching as Qin Yuxian gave him a deep look, then proceeded to the Dragon-locking Stone 'Stele', where the power of Space Shifting flashed, and Qin Yuxian vanished from sight.

"This Space Shifting is truly miraculous!"

He had gained some understanding of Ji Country's vast foundations, not to mention anything else, just the fact that Ji Country had one 'Inner World' after another and various 'Space Transmission Arrays' already put it on par with the super sects he'd read about in novels from his previous life.

As for the population, the Daji Dynasty has a population of ten billion, far exceeding those sects.
