Speaking of Xia Qingchen.

After chasing away Swordsman Pingyang, he instantly went into the cultivation chamber and started a session of seclusion.

He first checked his own realm.

The martial realms, from top to bottom, could be classified into four major realms namely the Sun Realm, Moon Realm, Star Realm, and Constellation Realm.

Each Realm could be further divided into the minor, medium, and major stages.

For example, the Constellation Realm could be divided into the minor constellation stage, medium constellation stage, and major constellation stage; the Star Realm could be divided into the minor star stage, medium star stage, and major star stage, etc.

Each stage was further divided into nine levels.

Xia Qingchen’s current cultivation base was at the lowest realm, the minor constellation stage of the Constellation Realm.

The minor constellation stage could then be further divided into nine levels. These nine levels were known as radiance-levels and Xia Qingchen was currently at the third radiance-level.

The lowest criteria to enter the martial pavilion was that one had to have a cultivation base at the fourth radiance-level of the minor constellation stage.

Given his thousands of years of experience, it was effortless for him to break through to the fourth-radiance level in three months.

When he thought of the events a thousand years ago, Xia Qingchen subconsciously clasped his chest. He could feel a dull ache there.

“Can’t deep emotions of 10,000 years compare to a single crown?” Xia Qingchen muttered to himself as a hint of hatred flashed in his eyes.

After he had attained the Godking Realm, he had bitterly cultivated for 10,000 years, preparing to break through to the supreme God Emperor Realm.

But at the moment of his breakthrough, the woman he had trusted and loved most, Heavenly Deity Frost, had actually stabbed him in the back, dealing him a critical blow.

Before he died, he saw Heavenly Deity Frost pick up the crown that signified him being the Sovereign of Gods and place it on her head, becoming the godking of a new generation – Godking Frost!

So it turned out that she had always wanted to become a godking.

As one of the nine strongest heavenly deities in the world, she had always been under the governance of a Godking.

Every day Godking Dustless existed would mean that heavenly deities would ultimately be heavenly deities. They wouldn’t be able to crown themselves as king.

Hence, Godking Dustless had to die.

“It’s fine to kill me, but the crocodile tears you shed, who did you shed it for?” Before Xia Qingchen died, through his blurry vision, he saw Godking Frost with the crown on her head staring up the skies and crying mournfully with pain.

The sound of her sobs reverberated throughout the divine realm, unceasing for a hundred years.

Xia Qingchen laughed at himself. “I’m already in such dire straits, yet I’m still lying to myself? She could steel her heart and be ruthless enough to kill me, how could she cry because of her emotions for me? No matter who she cried for, the person definitely isn’t me!”

Staring at his new body, Xia Qingchen’s eyes suddenly became exceptionally sharp. “Godking Frost. You didn’t exterminate my soul completely, one of my remnant souls managed to escape. This will be the start of your nightmare!”

He was going to use this body and climb up once more to the top. He was going to stand before Godking Frost and return that merciless sword strike!

After a long time, Xia Qingchen finally regained calmness and began his cultivation.

Based on his past life’s experience. The first cultivation-type martial skill he should cultivate should be none other than [Light-Dark Heaven Heart]

Martial skills could be classified into four tiers, from top to bottom, they were known as the heaven-tier, earth-tier, mystic-tier, and yellow-tier.

Each tier could be further classified into high, mid, and low grades.

For example, for this [Light-Dark Heaven Heart], it was a yellow-tier, high-grade martial skill.

And according to their usage, martial skills could be categorized into four types. Attacking-type martial skills, cultivation-type martial skills, movement-type martial skills, and auxiliary-type martial skills.

The effect of cultivation-type martial skills would allow one’s cultivation realm to improve. For all martial practitioners who wished to cultivate inner force, they had to cultivate a cultivation-type martial skill.

The [Light-Dark Heaven Heart] was a cultivation-type martial skill that Xia Qingchen regarded very highly. Its profound mysteries lay in the word ‘Dark’.

Everyone in the world knew that humans were innately born with nine great martial meridians. Every time one managed to clear and link up one meridian, they would be able to break through the levels of the minor constellation stage.

However, no one knew that other than the nine great martial meridians in the human body, there were still ninety tiny martial meridians hidden.

[Light-Dark Heaven Heart] referred to the nine great martial meridians of the human body as the ‘Revealed Meridians’, and as for the unknown tiny ninety martial meridians, they were known as the ‘Hidden Meridians’.
