Chapter 126: Gods in High Martial Arts (Part Two)

Su Chen summoned his soul spirit.
It was a man with his eyes closed, sitting cross-legged.
He seemed unremarkable.
But who was Su Chen?
In his past life, he was a Saint King-level being. In this world, he could obliterate this entire starry sky with a single slap.
"My soul spirit... seems extraordinary!"
Not long after, the old steward brought over the soul spirit crystal.
Su Chen placed one hand on the soul spirit crystal.
Then... before Su Chen could fully release his soul spirit, the soul spirit crystal shattered with a crack.
As the soul spirit crystal shattered, the man with his eyes closed opened them, glanced at Su Chen, and then pointed.
A series of golden scriptures appeared in Su Chen's mind, summarizing into a cultivation technique called [The Heaven-Pacifying Technique].
As the technique appeared in Su Chen's mind, he was slightly surprised.
"The Heaven-Pacifying Technique, what an arrogant name!"
"This is actually a quasi-Emperor scripture... Just who is this man?"
Unfortunately, the man couldn't answer Su Chen's question. After imparting the Heaven-Pacifying Technique to Su Chen, he closed his eyes again, seemingly falling into a deep sleep.
Su Chen suddenly realized.
The missing ten thousand points of family background... so that's where it is!
The missing ten thousand points of aptitude... are also here!
The man before him was at least a Starry Sky Great Saint level expert; otherwise, he wouldn't have casually given him a quasi-Emperor scripture to cultivate.
After cultivating the Heaven-Pacifying Technique, Su Chen felt that this technique seemed tailor-made for him. A powerful force within him gradually awakened with the cultivation of the Heaven-Pacifying Technique... terrifying tides of primordial energy permeated Su Chen's left and right sides.
A week later, Su Chen opened his eyes. His cultivation had reached the peak of the ninth level of the Spirit Gathering Realm; in this world, that would be the peak of the second tier.
Unfortunately, the primordial energy in this world was far too scarce. Su Chen sensed that the terrifying power within him was less than one percent activated. This was definitely a divine body, but clearly, this world didn't have the concept of a divine body, resulting in him being somewhat malnourished at birth, hindering its activation.
Su Chen named his divine body the "Peaceful Heaven Divine Body," as his physique in this life was a perfect match for the Peaceful Heaven Technique, even more so than the Primordial Gluttonous Body and the Devouring Heaven and Earth Divine Art!
Su Chen quickly formulated his main quest:
Gather resources!
To activate his divine body!
Although his status with the Jiang family allowed him to mobilize some cultivation resources, his C-rank rating meant that if his father found out he was using too many resources, he'd likely receive a severe scolding.
Su Chen cultivated for another three days. His long-dormant soul opened its eyes again, waving its hand and writing a single character:
'War'
Su Chen's cultivation broke through from the Spirit Gathering Realm to the Spirit Pattern Realm.
Golden runes shimmered in his mind; whenever he unleashed the word 'Battle,' his power and speed would instantly double... Of course, this wasn't the limit. Su Chen could sense that if he could fully comprehend this word, he would undoubtedly gain immense fortune.
In just ten days, Su Chen went from a lowly Karami to a Spirit Pattern Realm expert, a third-tier powerhouse. In this world, a third-tier expert was considered extremely rare, even among the elite. The teachers at Su Chen's school were only at the third tier.
However, this meant nothing to Su Chen.
"Third tier... I can already enter some of the weaker dungeons."
Dungeons are the habitats of weaker alien races. The strongest dungeons only house Spirit Soul Realm experts. Beyond that, there are Heavenly Dungeons. A Heavenly Dungeon uprising would cause a terrible disaster, requiring a large army and powerful individuals to guard it constantly.
Su Chen felt that these Heavenly and Earthly Dungeons were like the secret realms formed by the bodies of those above the Profound Realm in his previous life—separate spaces. However, he would need to go there himself to find out for sure.
Soon, Su Chen, dressed in loose black clothes and wearing sunglasses, headed towards a dungeon.
This dungeon was controlled by a powerful local gang. The race inhabiting it was a small race called the Dwarves. They were ugly, short, and had humanoid forms, but were extremely ferocious and bloodthirsty.
"Entering the Dwarf Dungeon requires a fee of ten thousand spirit coins."
Su Chen readily paid the spirit coins.
Passing through a heavy iron gate forged from black iron, one enters a long passageway, stained with indelible bloodstains, broken weapons, and skeletal remains.
A fierce battle once raged here.
However, when Su Chen passed through the iron gate, he found himself in an unfamiliar jungle. The vegetation was lush, like a primeval forest. The world here was small, its laws incomplete, less than a tenth the size of the outside world.
"The so-called underground caves here are formed from the corpses of powerful beings from the starry sky. The dwarf caves are at most secret realms formed from the corpse of a Transcendent Realm expert after their death,"
Su Chen's guess was correct.
A Transcendent Realm expert, in this world, is a sixth-tier powerhouse, also a King-level expert.
Soon, Su Chen encountered his first dwarf. Short and stocky, wielding a spiked club forged from black iron, with dark skin and a mouthful of sharp teeth, Su Chen felt this couldn't simply be called a dwarf; it should be called a goblin dwarf race.
The first dwarf possessed the strength of the fourth level of the Spirit Pattern Realm. However, in Su Chen's eyes, its cultivation system was extremely backward and crude. Even the weakest fourth-level Spirit Pattern Realm cultivator in the Tianxuan Domain could easily defeat several of these cultivators.
Su Chen shook his head. Within this small world, reaching the fourth level of the Spirit Pattern Realm was already quite impressive. How could it compare to the wisdom accumulated over billions of years by the beings of the Tianxuan Domain?
The dwarf bared its fangs and claws, its expression greedy, muttering something incomprehensible. Su Chen directly took out a long sword and cleaved the dwarf's body in two, then severed its head. Inside was a black stone; in this world, that would be an energy core.
It could be sold for a thousand or so spirit coins, and then companies would use these black stones to manufacture energy liquid for those with supernatural abilities to cultivate with.
In Su Chen's view, those energy liquids were far too crude, with significant drawbacks. Even the best energy liquid was inferior to elixirs. Unfortunately, this world lacked an alchemy system, so Su Chen had to personally descend into the underground caves to search for raw materials for alchemy.
After all, everything in this world was different from the Tianxuan Domain!
Su Chen put away the energy core and then headed deeper into the area.
Five days later, Su Chen found a dwarf community where hundreds of dwarves were worshipping under an ancient tree.
Su Chen sensed a powerful aura of energy from afar.
"This is..."
Su Chen narrowed his eyes.
A pillar of light descended from the sky!
The strength of the hundreds of dwarves actually began to rise under the influence of the pillar of light!
