God-Like Extraction

Chapter 386 - Invasion by An Unknown Martial Sage? (2)

Chapter 386: Invasion by An Unknown Martial Sage? (2)

At that time, the 13 countries of the Eastern Continent would definitely argue over the training area of the Little Demon World.

However, once this training ground was opened, it would be troublesome for Su Jingxing to continue absorbing demonic energy when he returned to the Little Demon World in the future.

However, at this point, he could only take things one step at a time.

In fact, the fastest way to increase his spiritual essence cultivation was still extracting cards.

Internal Force Card, True Energy Card, True Essence Card!

A few days ago, he had extracted these three types of cards through his main body, Blood Doppelganger, and Essence Soul.

Now that he was free, Su Jingxing unlocked them one by one. After absorbing and converting them, he finally increased his cultivation by 25 years.

He raised his spiritual essence cultivation to 555 years!

555 years of spiritual essence cultivation to cleanse the physical body.

The cards extracted from killing the Half-Demons and Half-Demon Overlords unlocked to give the Mystic Soul Card, of which two cards gave one Heaven Essence Pill.

After Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul swallowed them all, his ninth class Void Soul realm cultivation also increased and reached a bottleneck.

In other words, if he wanted to break through to the Soul Fixation realm, the effects of consuming the Sage Origin Fruit and Heaven Essence Pill alone would not be big.

Of course, if there were as many as a few thousand Sage Origin Fruits and Heaven Essence Pills, he could still forcefully break through.

But Sage Origin Fruits and Heaven Origin Pills were rare.

For the former, up till today, Su Jingxing had only obtained one after forging the Kingdom Defending Jade Seal and condensing it.

The Heaven Essence Pill could only be chanced upon by luck. Killing a Half-Demon did not mean that one could extract the corresponding Mystic Soul Card.

The drop rate was required.

Therefore, he had to find other ways to break through to the Soul Fixation realm.

For example, the Southern Wilderness’ ancient site that He Sanxiao had mentioned!

Previously, Su Jingxing had declined to go because the time wasn’t right. Now, it was.

However, before Su Jingxing could approach He Sanxiao, the Essence Soul was summoned again.

Someone was looking for him through a heavenly secret art.

Just like the last time when He Sanxiao came knocking on his door.

This time, the cabinet was looking for him again.

Suppressing his anger, Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul put on the Thunder Dragon Bone Armor and crossed space to head straight to the capital.

As the Kingdom Defending Martial Sage, while he enjoyed the privilege of using the Kingdom Defending Jade Seal to condense the Sage Origin Fruit, protect himself and kill the evildoers, he also shouldered the responsibility of protecting the people.

Even if he had become a Martial Sage by accident.

As such, when the cabinet summoned him, Su Jingxing would have to make a trip there no matter what.

Of course, if the matter wasn’t important, Su Jingxing wouldn’t be so polite when he was summoned again.

…

The capital.

Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul crossed through space and arrived at the Heavenly Secrets Platform following the directions.

The Heavenly Secrets Platform was managed by the Heavenly Secrets Office.

The Heavenly Secrets Office was a special department directly under the jurisdiction of the cabinet.

The summoning of Su Jingxing and communication using the heavenly secret arts were all done through the Heavenly Secrets Platform.

At this moment.

Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul descended from the sky. The group of people guarding the courtyard immediately got up and gathered over.

“Greetings, Martial Sage!”

“Greetings, Martial Sage!”

…

Their auras were not weak, and they had restrained themselves.

They greeted Su Jingxing respectfully.

Among them was Su Jingxing’s acquaintance, Deputy Prime Minister Luo Shan.

“What happened this time?”

Under the Thunder Dragon mask, Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul spoke calmly, but its tone was not pleasant.

Luo Shan and the others listened with varying expressions. Some smiled wryly, while others were helpless.

“Martial Sage, there is indeed something important.”

A tall old man straightened up and replied, “However, this is not the place to talk. Can we invite you to move with us?”

“Lead the way.” Su Jingxing glanced at him.

It was the first time he was seeing this old man, but Su Jingxing recognized him after taking a few more glances.

After all, he had seen him many times on television and the Internet.

It was the Prime Minister, Guan Zhonghua.

“This way, Martial Sage.”

Luo Shan led the way with a smile.

Su Jingxing followed.

The others were last. The group walked quickly and arrived at a relatively sealed room.

They sat down, with Su Jingxing at the head.

“We called for you this time because we cannot make a decision over what happened.”

Guan Zhonghua was the first to speak. He explained, “Firstly, a strange phenomenon suddenly happened in the Chengtian Palace in the imperial palace. It was sealed off by an invisible force and people couldn’t enter or leave. We tried to force our way in, collide with it, and attack it, but we were all interfered with by a powerful force and disappeared. Even a martial artist at the peak of the first-grade who had condensed a Divine Embryo couldn’t do so.”

“That’s right. Even when we dug holes from underground or descended from the sky, we couldn’t enter the Chengtian Palace,” a middle-aged man added.

“This is Deputy Prime Minister Luo Xuangong,” Luo Shan introduced.

Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul remained silent.

Seeing this, Luo Zhuigong smiled awkwardly and continued, “Other than the abnormality in the Chengtian Palace, there’s also the local You Family. This You Family is a large family clan in the Fulong Prefecture. Although they can’t compare to the Chen and Yu Families, they are still a powerful martial arts family. They have existed for 300 years. This time, they were wiped out overnight. None of the hundreds of people in the village were spared.”

“The culprits are very powerful, but there aren’t many of them. According to my deduction, they are all martial artists in the top ranks,” an old man with half-white hair added.

“This is the Hall Master of the Sacred Martial Hall, Fu Neng,” Luo Shan introduced again.

“I’m Xiao Renwo.” A man with elegant temperament but sharp eyebrows and bright eyes interrupted. “The Martial Sage might be puzzled as to why we’re talking about this. Other than the You Family being wiped out, there’s also our Martial Suppression Office’s Head Supervisor, Ao Chunqiu, being severely injured.”

“Marshal Xiao is the supreme commander of our military,” Luo Shan introduced from the side.

“I know.”

Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul said calmly, “The question is, among everything that has been shared, is there anything that threatened the safety of the Yu Nation?”

The You Family, a local family clan in the capital, had been wiped out.

A phenomenon appeared in a palace in the palace and it sealed itself.

The Head Supervisor of the Martial Suppression Office, Ao Chunqiu, had been severely injured.

He had to be summoned for these matters?

Did they think that he, a Martial Sage, was a delivery man on call?!

Silence.

Even though the Essence Soul’s tone was calm, it still released a few wisps of the invisible Martial Sage pressure.

In an instant, the space in the room froze. A powerful pressure weighed on everyone’s shoulders and enveloped their hearts!

“No… no…”

Luo Shan swallowed his saliva and answered with difficulty, “They didn’t threaten the safety of the nation, but when these few matters are put together, it’s very strange. Ao Chunqiu is a peak first-grade expert who has condensed a Divine Embryo. Only martial artists in the Transcendent-grade can severely injure him!”

“Are you sure?” Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul turned its head slightly and looked straight at Luo Shan.

Luo Shan opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but didn’t dare to.

Yes, he couldn’t be sure!

Those who severely injured peak first-grade martial artists need not necessarily be in the Transcendent-grade.

A martial artist at the peak of the first-grade, or the use of divine weapons, Dao weapons, and other rare treasures could only do the same.

Luo Shan was not a witness, so what guarantee could he give?

“Cough…”

Xiao Renwo coughed lightly and interrupted the silence. “Although we’re very sorry, we suspect that an unknown Transcendent-grade expert has invaded and that’s why we’re troubling you to make a trip here. This is because after Ao Chunqiu was severely injured, he once woke up and revealed that the body of the person who injured him could turn illusory!

The illusory body was the external manifestation of the Essence Soul.

Of course, the physical body of a spiritual martial artist would do as well.

The problem was that a spiritual martial artist was almost impossible. Su Jingxing was one himself and he had accidentally become one.

It was impossible for a second spiritual martial artist to coincidentally jump out.

Besides, the demonic creatures had not invaded the surface and harmed the various countries. The Eastern Continent was not in chaos, nor was the Western Continent.

Even if some conspirators and ambitious people wanted to cause trouble, they wouldn’t have the chance.

Excluding spiritual martial artists, all that was left were Essence Souls and Transcendent-grade experts?

“Why was Ao Chunqiu severely injured?”

The Essence Soul retracted its suppression and asked calmly.

If it was really an invasion by an unknown Transcendent-grade expert, Su Jingxing indeed had to intervene.

“Um…”

Guan Zhonghua paused and laughed dryly. “He went to the Chengtian Palace. He was found outside after being severely injured.”

The others remained silent.

Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul chuckled. “In other words, none of you know why he was severely injured?”

“…Y-yes.” Luo Shan was embarrassed.

The others also lowered their heads, feeling inexplicably guilty.

“Has there been an investigation?” asked Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul. “Also, what does Ao Chunqiu’s serious injury have to do with the Chengtian Palace and the You Family?”

“The investigation is ongoing.”

Fu Neng coughed lightly and said, “As for the relationship between Ao Chunqiu and the You Family, according to rumors, Ao Chunqiu is the illegitimate son of the previous patriarch of the You Family…”
