Your Majesty, Please Stop!

Chapter 217: The Astonishing Martial Arts Breakthrough of the Jiang Family's Heir

Xin Zhuo was not clear about what was happening outside; his attention was focused on the Seventh Peak in front of him.

The entire Seventh Peak looked like a scene that had been ravaged and trampled by a group of highly skilled martial practitioners. The rocks were shattered, the giant trees were broken, and everything was in a mess. Even the terrifying aura, after hundreds or even thousands of years, had not dissipated. There were no new sprouts in the area, and the chaos and the messy spider webs from before were still there, as if some kind of spider dared to crawl up.

The ancient and solemn killing intent, even when viewed from a distance, made people feel a chill in their hearts.

In the center of the peak, there were seven or eight strange and huge broken weapons inserted diagonally into the ground, emitting a scalp-tingling aura. It seemed that as long as someone approached, they would automatically release a murderous intent.

He looked up at the sky and realized that it was already late. There were less than five hours left until the end of tomorrow morning.

Taking a deep breath and no longer hesitating, he stepped forward. As soon as he entered, seven or eight strange and fierce auras instantly approached. Before they even reached him, they transformed into palm techniques, fist techniques, saber techniques, sword techniques...

Moreover, each one was different from the current methods of practitioners. They were powerful, stable, unpredictable, and full of elusive routes.

Xin Zhuo immediately strategically retreated from the range of the mountain peak.

...

"We can't pass!"

"Countless predecessors have failed, and this astonishing Jiang Family heir is probably going to fail too!"

"The curse of three hundred years, future generations are still unable to break it."

Outside the courtyard, there were already thousands of people crowded together, with officials from the Six Departments and the majority being masters from various academies and martial families.

At this moment, regardless of how terrifying the talent of the heir was, the important thing was whether he could break the Seventh Peak that no one had been able to break for three hundred years. It held a symbolic significance.

If he succeeded, it meant that future generations still had the ability to enter the footsteps of the predecessors. If he failed, everything would have to be abandoned.

When Xin Zhuo was seen retreating at this moment, many people couldn't help but sigh.

"I'm afraid he can't pass!"

In a corner, the Mie Ling Master waved her monk's robe sleeves. She had been practicing for a hundred years and had reached a high level of martial arts cultivation. However, she felt somewhat melancholic and vaguely uneasy.

On the side, Mr. Dongfang silently looked at the forbidden area with a strange expression. After a while, he chuckled and said, "It's hard to say!"

"Oh? What do you mean?" Mie Ling Master asked in surprise.

Mr. Dongfang said, "The meaning behind the Seventh Peak's martial arts is to condense the ancient martial arts techniques such as palm, sword, fist, and leg techniques, symbolizing the integration of all martial arts. To break the peak, one must have a deep understanding of most martial arts and cultivation techniques in the world. This is too difficult for today's practitioners.

This is also the reason why only the three extraordinary predecessors, Taizu, Jiang Yuan, and Mr. Zhuge, succeeded in the past few hundred years. But the most peculiar thing about Xin Zhuo is that he understands all kinds of martial arts and weapons. His comprehension is heaven-defying, as can be seen from the Sixth Peak."

Mie Ling Master nodded thoughtfully and then sighed imperceptibly.

"The Jiang heir has entered the Seventh Peak again!"

Someone in the distance said solemnly.

The previously whispering crowd turned to look, and then felt their scalps tighten.

With the entrance of the Jiang heir, the countless virtual images of martial arts on the entire Seventh Peak appeared one after another. Each one was extremely profound and completely different from the martial arts in the mortal world. Each move contained immense power, and even one of them would take several days or even dozens of days to study and decipher.

Lv Jiu, Mu Qing'er, Tuoba Linger, and others, including a group of older generation practitioners, examined their hearts and asked themselves. If they were to go, they could only handle two or three moves, or maybe five or six moves at most, but they would struggle to maintain it. However, there were so many ancient martial arts here that they probably wouldn't last three breaths.

However, in their line of sight, the Jiang heir stepped forward with an incomprehensible pace. With each step, he unleashed three or five martial arts cultivation techniques, neutralizing the ancient martial arts attacks that came at him.

Although these martial arts cultivation techniques were not originally his, they were most likely simulated from the ancient martial arts around him.

However, the prerequisite was that he had to decipher all the ancient martial arts.

And he had to decipher them in an instant, without any carelessness.

What kind of monster and talent was this?

Many people were dry-mouthed and stared at the scene without blinking.

As the heir continued to move forward, his long hair fluttering, his graceful figure, the strange martial arts, and the traces of supreme martial arts contained within each step were pleasing to the eye.

At this moment, no matter how proud and arrogant someone was, they had to admit the astonishing nature of this Jiang Family heir!

"Having a child should be like Jiang Yuqing!"

Many older experts sighed with regret. If this child were their own, how comfortable would they feel at this moment?

Lv Jiu, Mu Qing'er, and the others who were expelled by Xin Zhuo had numb expressions. Even if they had a trace of unwillingness before, it had all disappeared now.

It's not difficult to acknowledge someone's excellence.

"The thirteenth step!"

"Seventeenth step!"

"Twenty-ninth step!"

Every step Jiang Shizi took at this moment stirred the hearts of everyone.

As they saw him getting closer and closer to the middle position of the mountain peak, as long as he reached there, the seventh peak would be considered broken.

Many people's hearts were on edge, their eyes focused and sharp.

Finally, when Jiang Shizi successfully stepped onto the middle position of the seventh peak, the courtyard erupted with cheers:

"The seventh peak is truly broken!"

"For the first time in three hundred years, Jiang Family's Shizi is truly remarkable!"

"Yuqing has really made it!"

Zheng Guo's Princess, Chanyi, Sai Qingzhu, and others instinctively stood up, their faces showing a strange mix of surprise and worry.

The surprise was that their own Shizi was indeed extraordinary, with talent surpassing others and the ability to do what ordinary people couldn't. The worry was... he was too high-profile, to the point where it was enough for people of the same age to look up to him. Perhaps it wasn't a good thing.

...

On the seventh peak.

Just as Dongfang Xiansheng had guessed, the seventh peak tested various martial dao techniques. Except for the first attempt when he wasn't quite used to it, the second time he entered was completely effortless.

In the past year or two, he had integrated countless martial arts, and every integration was a unique martial art. It seemed that the integrated martial arts in the Lunar Serenity Well were similar to ancient martial arts, so the two corroborated each other, making him basically immune.

He even felt that this forbidden area of Jiuluan Mountain had completely opened its arms to him.

At this moment, standing in the middle position of the peak, this was where the seven weapons were located, with a human skeleton in the middle. It was unknown how long the person had been dead, as the bones had decayed.

He instinctively squatted down and pinched it. Strangely, although the skeleton seemed decayed, it was as hard as iron, unlike ordinary bones.

He looked up and glanced around, remained silent for a moment, took out a water bottle filled with Lunar Serenity Well water that he had prepared in advance, poured some on the dry bones, poured some on the seven weapons, and sprinkled some on the surrounding mountain tops. Finally, he walked back and sat down next to the dry bones.

"What does Jiang Shizi mean by this?"

"Watering?"

"After watering, he sat down? Hmm... I guess this must be a way to pay respects to the predecessors with water."

"There's some truth to that! But it could also be to clean up a bit before gaining insight?"

"I wonder what insights this Jiang Shizi will gain?"

In the courtyard, many people were shocked by the breaking of the seventh peak in three hundred years, but they also carried a hint of envy in their hearts.

Time passed slowly, and no one left.

Until the next morning, when the first light of dawn appeared, a dazzling and powerful True Qi fluctuation suddenly emanated from the Shizi's body:

Third rank, Half-step Grand Great Master realm!

"Jiang Shizi's True Qi is extraordinary. Breaking the seventh peak of Jiuluan Mountain in one fell swoop, entering the Half-step Grand Great Master realm overnight. With this move, he truly deserves the name of a genius!"

Someone in the distance respectfully saluted Zheng Guo's Princess and the others.

Princess Zheng Guo slightly returned the gesture and smiled lightly, "Junior's achievements are nothing to boast about. You all are too kind."

There was nothing wrong with her words, but it sounded a bit irritating.
