Don't Mess with That Dragon

Chapter 30: Preaching to All Beings


A massive crowd gathers at Jade Capital Mountain.

With so many people, disorder is easy to arise.

Especially with these hot-blooded figures from the Martial Arts world, incidents of drawing swords and killing over a verbal dispute are not uncommon.

Moreover, with more than half of the vast Martial Arts world gathered here, it is inevitable that there are many enemies among them. Confrontations and vendettas are not rare when enemies meet and their eyes blaze with hatred.

However, within these ten days, beneath Jade Capital Mountain,

no one has dared to cause a major disturbance.

It is all due to that deity-like figure on Jade Capital Mountain and the immense anticipation martial artists hold for the teachings of someone who has transcended the current Martial Arts realm, prompting the natural maintenance of order.

Any confrontation that might lead to chaos is quickly halted by seasoned veterans from the Martial Arts world.

The methods displayed by that figure are akin to those of Immortal Gods, so having the opportunity to sit and listen to his teachings, what a rare chance is this?

If one could use this to elevate their Martial Arts even further, who wouldn't value such an opportunity?

With self-imposed restraint, even though the number of martial artists under Jade Capital Mountain grew over ten days, stability was maintained throughout.

Of course,

the restraint of the martial artists beneath Jade Capital Mountain is not unconnected to the terrifying pressure emanating from the cloud-shrouded summit.

That feeling is like the watchful eye of the Heavenly Dao, observing their every move from above.

Like pins and needles on their backs.

Time passed quickly,

ten days later,

Jade Capital Mountain opened, and a streaming glow of multicolored light flowed forth, stretching across the sky.

Amidst the celestial light, the stairway ascending to the peak of Jade Capital Mountain seemed to extend infinitely, reaching far into the endless depths, as if directly connecting to the Celestial Court.

Amidst the tense anticipation of countless martial artists, a clear voice filled with mysterious Dao resonance suddenly echoed in their minds:

"This is the Heaven-Ascending Ladder of 108,000 steps. Those who reach the end, regardless of age or sect, may receive my personal transmission."

In a simple statement, a storm of emotional waves surged through the hearts of these martial artists.

As contemporary figures in the Martial Arts world as well as throughout the development of Martial Arts over thousands of years, these individuals stood at the pinnacle, transcending mortal beings to reach the Divine Realm,

such a being's personal transmission—isn't this an alluring temptation!

RUSH!!!

Instantly, countless martial artists charged toward the Heaven-Ascending Ladder like floodwaters bursting forth, boiling and surging with excitement.

"Ah!"

However, the moment they set foot on the street leading to the heavens, a mountain-like gravity pressed down on each martial artist; some who were weaker and impatient were immediately crushed and fell, tumbling down the stairs, covered in bruises.

"Something's strange, be careful!"

Through the firsthand experiences of the initial vanguard, the martial artists behind were forcibly calmed.

After hesitating, those entering the 108,000-step heavenly street gradually slowed down, becoming less impatient and better prepared for re-entry.

The crowd was vast, converging like a reverse-flowing river.

At this moment,

at the top of Jade Capital Mountain, in an incomparably vast White Jade Space.

The sky above,

the surrounding void reflected true vacuum-like ripples, as if Li Hu was seated in another dimension. His clear gaze pierced through numerous layers of void, witnessing every scene on the street beneath him.

His expression was as still as an ancient well, much like the Heavenly Dao observing the lives struggling between life and death.

This was a trial he had set up.

The 108,000 steps, created through a combined array and his supreme methods, were both an illusory and a real training experience.

The gravity weighing down on martial artists automatically adjusts according to each individual's strength. It is more like an illusion technique that transcends the boundary between fantasy and reality, originating from within one's heart.

Only those with great perseverance and determination can pass the first ten thousand steps of the Heavenly Ladder.

As for the remaining eight thousand steps of the Heavenly Ladder, in addition to the physical pressure, many internal demons lure martial artists, and only with great perseverance can they break through everything and reach the end, completing the journey through the 108,000-step Heavenly Ladder.

Of course,

this 108,000-step Heavenly Ladder test is only there to select from among the crowd those suitable for Li Hu's creation, based on his lifelong study and Martial Arts insights, of the fragmented void Dao techniques.

These techniques are not just experiments; each one embodies a significant portion of Li Hu's life's Martial Arts essence.

Besides those with great perseverance, determination, and persistence who pass the 108,000-step Heavenly Ladder, the eliminated martial artists are still able to attend this lecture.

The 108,000-step Heavenly Ladder is merely a combination of illusion and array formation. Once eliminated, they are automatically transferred to this White Jade Space.

And these eliminated individuals become targets for Li Hu's broader dissemination.

As time ticks away,

quickly, one bedraggled martial artist drenched in sweat appears in the vast White Jade Space, followed by a second, a third, and more and more.

An hour later, all martial artists who participated in the Heavenly Ladder trial have appeared within the enormous White Jade Space.

With a clear and resounding chime filled with boundless Dao resonance from above the sky, a world of glowing light unfolds, revealing a figure ethereal as an immortal, slowly manifesting in the void, seemingly isolated by an Alternate Void.

Like an Immortal God, even more so like a Dao Ancestor.

Sitting cross-legged in the void.

The entire White Jade Space instantly falls into silence.

Below him, seven people are seated on prayer mats.

Those seven are the martial artists who passed the 108,000-step Heaven-Ascending Ladder.

Among them are men and women, the old and the young, even a farmer's son with no martial skills.

But every one of them had eyes filled with incredible resolve.

"You have done well. After the lecture, you may inherit my full transmission."

Li Hu's gaze lightly swept across the seven, his voice echoing within the void.

"Thank you, teacher."

The seven stood and bowed in respect.

Li Hu waved his arm, an invisible force stilled the entire audience.

The lecture then began.

On the first day, Li Hu began with the origins of Martial Arts, from Refining Essence and Qi of the Postnatal to Refining Qi and Spirit of the Innate, advancing to the realms of Grandmasters and Supreme Grandmasters.

From low to high, he thoroughly explained the Martial Arts system.

That very day saw over a thousand people achieve breakthroughs in their realms.

On the second day, Li Hu began to discuss the Dao of Heaven and the principles of diminishing surplus and supplementing deficiency.

In the world, the Great Dao and its principles flow, all of which became clear as lines on a palm under Li Hu's lecture.

Once again, individuals broke through realms that day, including Grandmasters and a newly advanced Supreme Grandmaster.

On the third day, with Martial Arts and Heavenly Dao already expounded, Li Hu moved onto the path of the Martial Arts Master breaking the void.

If the first two days still belonged within the realm of martial arts, then the following days gradually transitioned to magical modifications, creating a fantasy system of battling heaven and earth based on martial arts, culminating in the ultimate sublimation of void fracture.

On the fourth day, the focus shifted towards an immortal hero style.

The crafting of Immortal Arts emphasizes Divine Cultivation, employing the training of Divine Sense and the tempering of one's True Essence to undergo a qualitative transformation, from Qi Refining to Foundation Establishment, then the Martial Arts Golden Core, Nascent Soul incarnation, advancing toward the final transcendence through Heaven's Tribulation for metamorphic ascension.

In the last three days, Li Hu also discussed legacy teachings left by Dao Ancestors, Alchemy Dao, Qimen Dunjia, Array Techniques, Mechanisms, and other supplementary arts.

Among these, Alchemy is a particularly important new system.

Shortly thereafter, when the Secret Realm he had once laid out in the world emerges, Alchemy will be the most crucial support for the Martial Arts System to branch into fantasy and immortal hero narratives!

Seven days later, the lecture concluded, and Jade Capital Mountain closed.

The great transformation of the world began.
