The singular objective now lies in obtaining the imperial-grade chrysalis. To accomplish this mission, one must first vanquish a creature, availing the opportunity to enhance superlative combat skills. Only by mastering teleportation to the level of divine prowess can one shift objects with them through teleportation.
Otherwise, even if acquired, it cannot be taken away. The pace of battle on the other side remains unwavering, affording no chance to act.
Initially, the plan was to deplete the butterfly's strength a bit more before launching a surprise attack. However, the unexpected defeat prompted early intervention to rescue.
To tread the Golden Liger Zen Temple by night is feasible, though perilous. The sanctuary, guarded by two grandmaster-level sentinels, thwarts surreptitious entries. Unlike daytime, cloaking your identity among pilgrims is unworkable by night. If discovered, Kuan's exposure could imperil the Seven True's scheme. Should Kuan Zhen anticipate this, complications might arise.
For now, probing is futile. Retreat to the Golden Liger Hermitage is prudent. Tomorrow, reassess and devise a plan for further scrutiny.
Approaching Jincheng's gates, Kuan found them sealed. Unlike Pucheng, where gates stayed ajar save for brief closures during rebellion or fierce winds, Jincheng's nightly lockdown was unexpected. Whether this is linked to "Golden Liger Path" unrest or a regular Jincheng practice remains elusive.
Stranded outside, Kuan had to seek refuge within Jincheng's walls. No curfew reigned; the streets, sparsely traversed, weren't desolate. Passing a tavern, Kuan was lured by a storyteller's allure. Despite being late, akin to the eleventh hour, about ten by modern reckoning, nocturnal entertainment was rare. Deciding the tavern offered lodging, Kuan stayed to hear the tale.
Speaking of strife between the 'Golden Liger Path' and Kuan's leader, it spans over eighty years. Inside, Kuan secured a room and tea, desiring a change from prior libations. The storyteller, unperturbed by their arrival, continued.
Ninety years past, 'Laughing Moon Monk - Duam,' a Transcendent ranked second, excelled in two martial arts: 'Golden Liger Scripture' and 'Golden Gauntlet Decision.' The former, a pinnacle of 'Golden Liger Path,' and the latter, fundamental to the 'Golden Gauntlet Path.'
The pinnacle of human capability lies in the pursuit of comprehension, and possessing a robust foundation merely elevates one's proficiency within the same echelon.
As for those unable to surpass their initial state, it's futile to even consider; each breakthrough yields an increase of several folds, evident to those who can surpass. It is only the wretches incapable of advancing who emphasize enhancing the base.
For Kuan, so long as he achieves breakthroughs swiftly enough, no one will ever surpass him. This notion stands in stark contrast to the prevailing mindset of today's youthful prodigies, representing an epitome of a different ideology.
Veteran stalwarts, having weathered the harshest of eras, prioritize pushing past limits. In those times of incessant strife, every iota of explosive force increment held the potential for survival.
The attainment of transcendence is at her whim; she has already reached her limits. Yet, the throne of the mightiest still firmly rests in the hands of powers. One can only imagine the immense depth of his reserves.
As the foremost bastion in the east, the outpost stands as the paramount supply nexus, home to a garrison exceeding ten thousand troops, complemented by over a hundred thousand logistical personnel. Even the warriors who roam the coastal hunt often find respite within its precincts, resembling a veritable metropolis.
Regrettably, when facing a colossal beastly onslaught, the notion of defense becomes akin to a fabled tale from distant realms. At present, the paramount focus resides in evacuation.
A continuous influx and exodus of transport planes characterize the scene, while a steadfast hundred-thousand-strong army holds firm, unwavering in their stance, resolute to stand their ground until the evacuation is complete, swearing not to retreat even at the cost of their lives.
At an undetermined juncture, a colossal dragon, rising to a height of a thousand meters, abruptly emerged from the earth. The dread-inducing divine pressure it exuded permeated unchecked, instilling a sense of awe and fear in the consciousness of all those present.
The ascending sun appeared diminutive, akin to summer fireflies in the presence of the Kuan's divine countenance. In this instance, the regal entity became the focal point of this vast expanse, assuming a central role within this domain.
The awe-inspiring magnificence of this celestial being, manifesting as the dragon, cast an unparalleled and imposing shadow across the realm, leaving an indelible mark upon the minds of all who bore witness to its majestic presence. The sheer scale and commanding authority of this divine entity eclipsed any semblance of mortal comprehension, forever etching this moment into the annals of cosmic memory.
In eliminating sundry expenses, the remaining warriors can hardly amass more than a few billion in their lifetime. For the warlords, accruing a few billion is but a trifling matter.
However, when it comes to the rank of a war deity, financial stability becomes even more precarious, primarily contingent upon the ability to earn. Some exploit the resources of dominant powers, others dedicate themselves to the refinement of martial techniques, while a few spend their days hunting lords.
In sum, there exist a fair number with fortunes in the billions, yet an equally substantial cohort resonates with the clangor of destitution. Duam accepted two disciples: the 'Golden Liger Path' founder and the 'Golden Gauntlet Path' leader. The 'Golden Liger Scripture' was imparted to the calm Hui Kong, adept at serene Buddhist practice, and 'Golden Gauntlet Decision' to resolute Kuan, prone to illusions that ensnare.
Both disciples thrived in the martial realm after Duam vanished, either enlightened or vanquished, his fate remained enigmatic.
