Chapter 42: Supreme Martial Body

Chu Jianqiu looked at the thousand Qi Gathering Pills and the second-grade superior magical treasure, the Flowing Shadow Sword, in his hand, inwardly sighing that it was no wonder that major sects were so generous in their actions.

These thousand Qi Gathering Pills and the Flowing Shadow Sword were probably worth four or five years of the Chu family's income.

As the sky grew dark, Chu Jianqiu returned to his room in the main hall, sat cross-legged on the bed, and began to swallow the Qi Gathering Pills like a whale.

The spiritual energy on the fourth peak was originally several times more concentrated than in Tianshui City. With the addition of the Qi Gathering Pills, a massive amount of spiritual energy and medicinal power transformed into a vast sea of true qi, surging into his dantian and then rushing out, impacting the final life-and-death mystic meridian.

"Rumble, rumble!"

After swallowing seven hundred Qi Gathering Pills, the life-and-death mystic meridian was finally completely opened under the overwhelming impact of true qi.

Thus, all twenty meridians in Chu Jianqiu's body were fully unblocked.

The surging and overwhelming true qi flowed unimpeded within his body, permeating every inch of his skin and transforming every cell in his body.

Chu Jianqiu felt that his body had undergone a tremendous transformation at this moment.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a huge golden light erupted from Chu Jianqiu's body, and an incomparably profound Dao intent spread from him.

At the same time, the heavens responded.

Clouds of purple qi began to gather in the sky.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

Several figures quickly gathered in the sky above the fourth peak.

The sect master of the Mystic Sword Sect, Zuoqiu Wen, the peak master of the fourth peak, Cui Yayun, Li Yuanqing, Tang Yushan, and other peak masters of the Mystic Sword Sect were all present.

At the same time, a snow-white sword light flashed from the distant sky, and a man in white appeared beside them.

The man in white had a stern face and carried an ancient sword with pine patterns on his back.

"What's happening?" The man in white, seeing this heavenly phenomenon, also showed a look of surprise on his stern face.

"Fourth Junior Sister's disciple has cultivated the Supreme Martial Body!" Tang Yushan, looking at the purple qi and mystic clouds gathering in the sky above the fourth peak, said with a look of shock.

He was already shocked when Luo Xiuyong said he had unblocked nineteen meridians yesterday, but he didn't expect him to create an even more shocking event today.

The man in white was shaken by this news, his face full of disbelief.

Supreme Martial Body!

This required unblocking all the meridians in the body to cultivate.

In the nearly thousand years of the Great Gan Dynasty, only Xia Yishan had achieved it.

He didn't expect such a prodigy to appear in the Mystic Sword Sect.

With his knowledge, seeing such a heavenly phenomenon, he had some guesses, but the Supreme Martial Body was too terrifying, and he didn't dare to think in that direction.

He had just returned from outside and didn't have the prior understanding of Chu Jianqiu that Zuoqiu Wen and others had, so he couldn't guess what was happening just by seeing this phenomenon.

"We can't let this heavenly phenomenon continue, or it won't be good for our Mystic Sword Sect or that boy." Zuoqiu Wen said with a serious expression.

If this heavenly phenomenon were allowed to continue, the entire Great Gan Dynasty would know that someone in the Mystic Sword Sect had cultivated the Supreme Martial Body. At that time, the opposing forces of the Mystic Sword Sect would surely try every means to investigate and eliminate such a genius in the bud.

There are only a thousand days of thievery, not a thousand days of vigilance. Even if the Mystic Sword Sect were to guard very strictly, there would still be room for error. If the enemy were to make a desperate assassination attempt, Chu Jianqiu might not have a chance to grow up and would fall halfway.

The terror of a prodigy who has cultivated the Supreme Martial Body can be seen from Xia Yishan of the Great Gan Imperial Family.

"If it really is the Supreme Martial Body, we must prevent it from leaking out." The man in white also said with a serious face.

"Fourth Junior Sister, activate the mountain protection array. Sixth Junior Brother, you and I will disperse the mystic clouds in the sky. Second Junior Brother, Third Junior Brother, Fifth Junior Brother, and Seventh Junior Sister, you will work together to cut off the boy's connection with the heavens." Zuoqiu Wen ordered.

"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison.

Cui Yayun took out a token, performed a spell, and a light barrier slowly appeared above the fourth peak.

Zuoqiu Wen and the man in white, Changsun Yuanbai, flew to the place where the mystic clouds and purple qi were gathering and struck them with all their might.

The mystic clouds instantly responded.

"Crack!" Purple lightning struck Zuoqiu Wen and Changsun Yuanbai.

Zuoqiu Wen and Changsun Yuanbai did not dare to be careless. The backlash from forcibly dispersing the heavenly phenomenon was very strong, and they could easily be seriously injured if they were not careful.

Cui Yayun controlled the mountain protection array, forming the first barrier.

Li Yuanqing, Tang Yushan, Gong Haorang, and Qin Miaoyan worked together to set up a barrier above the hall where Chu Jianqiu was.

Chu Jianqiu was carefully feeling the tremendous changes in his body, completely unaware of what was happening outside.

After an hour, the golden light on Chu Jianqiu's body finally subsided. Chu Jianqiu opened his eyes, clenched his fists, and felt an endless power throughout his body. This power was hidden in his body, like a dormant volcano, ready to erupt with earth-shattering force at any time.

Seeing the golden light in the hall subside, Li Yuanqing and others breathed a sigh of relief and removed the barrier.

Maintaining this barrier to cut off the connection with the heavens was not easy for them.

Cui Yayun also deactivated the mountain protection array.

At this moment, Zuoqiu Wen and Changsun Yuanbai descended from the cloud layer, their bodies emitting wisps of smoke, and many parts of their bodies were scorched black, looking quite disheveled.

"Alright, we've made it through this." Zuoqiu Wen sighed in relief. He and Changsun Yuanbai had dispersed the gathered mystic clouds, and although they were not injured, it was not an easy task.

Chu Jianqiu walked out of the hall. He was now filled with endless power and couldn't resist going outside to test the power of the Supreme Martial Body.

Chu Jianqiu walked to a boulder as big as a house and casually threw a punch.

"Boom!"

A deafening sound.

The boulder, as big as a house, was shattered into pieces by a single punch.

Chu Jianqiu was stunned, not expecting the power of the Supreme Martial Body to be so terrifying. He hadn't even used true qi; it was purely the strength of his flesh and bones.

Even a first-stage Qi Realm martial artist would be reduced to dust by this punch.

He didn't notice that the seven most powerful figures of the Mystic Sword Sect were watching him from the sky above the fourth peak.

Everyone looked at each other, their hearts filled with shock. This was the power of the Supreme Martial Body.

Although the combat strength Chu Jianqiu displayed was not much in their eyes, he was only at the ninth level of the Body Tempering stage.

The combat strength Chu Jianqiu displayed at this stage was many times stronger than what they had at the same stage, far surpassing what they had achieved.

When Chu Jianqiu reached the same stage as them, would they be able to withstand a punch from him?
