CHAPTER 1720: CHAPTER 387:

In an instant, a thunderous explosion erupted, and the entire body of the Martial Immortal shattered at this moment.

He was obliterated by the Heavenly Dao!

Star Lord Hao Yue gazed at the shattered corpse before him and looked down at his own chest. A bloody hole had seemingly appeared there at some unknown time, with crimson blood flowing out.

"Just now, I was stabbed? I clearly dodged that sword strike of his, so how did I still get hit?"

He recalled the sword that the Martial Immortal had thrust out moments ago, and his heart was filled with dread.

This was the swordsmanship unleashed under the Heavenly Dao’s suppression. If the Martial Immortal had not been suppressed by the Heavenly Dao, then what?

Moreover, if the Heavenly Penalty Thunderbolt had descended a bit slower, what would have happened?

Now, he finally understood why the Grand Preceptor had to intervene to defeat the Martial Immortal back then!

"Such talent is truly astonishing. Even without practicing Immortal Cultivation, he managed to reach this level. If he had cultivated immortality and trained in such swordsmanship, to what heights could he have reached?

Perhaps, if he had cultivated immortality, the title of the Eastern Wasteland’s greatest expert would not belong to the Grand Preceptor but to him instead!"

Star Lord Hao Yue glanced at the burial grounds and stepped into them. Whether a cultivator or a demonic cultivator, they would lay down formations in their burial grounds and leave behind the treasures they commonly used.

However, this Martial Immortal was neither a cultivator nor a demonic cultivator. He was somewhat curious about what the Martial Immortal’s burial grounds might contain.

Compared to normal burial grounds, this one had no formations, nor were there any treasures inside. All that was there were a variety of sharp swords.

There were short swords, longswords, broadswords, and even fine swords, some of which were broken. In short, there were many kinds of swords.

Each sword was embedded into the ground.

Apart from the swords, the only other item in the burial grounds was a book.

"Is this his martial path? But how much can be recorded in a book?"

Star Lord Hao Yue gently shook his head. In the early stages of immortal cultivation, divine skills and some cultivation techniques were still recorded in books.

However, once reaching the Earth Immortal Realm, books could no longer adequately record the content of cultivation techniques, let alone spells; only the Divine Thought of an adept could preserve them.

One book, he really looked down on it.

However, curiosity got the better of him, and he opened the book, soon immersing himself deeply in it.

Unknown of how long had passed, it was only when a voice called out that he woke up.

"I wonder which Dao Companion is inside?"

Star Lord Hao Yue heard footsteps and quickly stowed the book away before flying out of the burial grounds. In front of him, a few Earth Immortals from the Divine Occurence Sect had already descended.

"Oh? So it’s Star Lord Hao Yue." Upon casting a glance at Star Lord Hao Yue, their gazes immediately landed on the burial grounds, curiosity aroused: "Just..."

"This is the Martial Immortal’s burial ground. You all should have heard of the Martial Immortal. Unexpectedly, his burial ground is established here."

While speaking, Star Lord Hao Yue swept his eyes around, then raised his hand to gather up the remains destroyed by Heavenly Dao thunderbolts, sending them into the burial grounds.

He held no grudge against the Martial Immortal, nor was he interested in judging his character or thoughts, but he admired the Martial Immortal’s strength, respected his talent!

Never did he imagine that a mere mortal could reach such a realm, especially after perusing the Martial Immortal’s martial arts book, increasing his respect for the Martial Immortal exponentially.

He was a reincarnated great ability, and after reincarnation, he only admired one and a half people.

One of them was Cao Zhen.

It was suspected that he was a stronger reincarnated great ability, and he even wondered if Cao Zhen’s previous incarnation was the legendary Golden Immortal!

And the other half was the Grand Preceptor.

Now, however, he had a third person to admire—the Martial Immortal.

It was out of respect that, even though the Martial Immortal was struck down by the Heavenly Dao, he still laid him to rest in the burial grounds.

Besides, he obtained the martial arts book of the Martial Immortal, although he practiced the sword technique and not swordsmanship.

Yet within the Martial Immortal’s book was his very understanding of the martial way, which was a completely different interpretation from the cultivators of the immortal and demonic paths.

Or rather, cultivators and demonic cultivators mainly focused on researching spells, and even with sword techniques and swordsmanship, they leaned towards the direction of spells.

The Martial Immortal’s martial arts, however, were purely martial arts.

This understanding, regardless of whether one was training in sword techniques, swordsmanship, or even spear techniques and others, was highly beneficial.

"Martial Immortal? Helian Baitian?"

"His burial ground is here. No wonder the spiritual energy here is so abundant, yet no Immortal Sect has been established in this place.

It seems not that no one wanted to establish a sect here, but anyone who tried was slain by the Martial Immortal’s zombie soldiers and corpse generals."

"He died? Killed by the Heavenly Dao? It is unexpected that such a figure would ultimately fall at the hands of the Heavenly Dao."

The people from the Divine Occurence Sect instantly understood, observing as Star Lord Hao Yue put the Martial Immortal’s body into the burial grounds, yet did not ask why he did so.

Nor did they enter the burial grounds either, since Star Lord Hao Yue had just flown out of it, evidently having taken some treasure left by the Martial Immortal in his burial grounds.

There was no need for anyone to voluntarily disclose what treasures they had obtained.

After checking out the area briefly, they quickly left and each returned to their respective sects, waiting for Cao Zhen to refine pills and construct new sects afterward.

After returning, Star Lord Hao Yue engaged in the continuous study of the Martial Immortal’s martial arts book.

On Four Treasures Peak, Yi Sheng sat by his master’s side, assisting him in refining Pills, while his master, already immersed in meditation.

"Star Lord Hao Yue has finally accomplished something worthwhile."

Through the China Cloud, Cao Zhen observed Star Lord Hao Yue, focusing on the martial arts book in front of him!

Long ago, through China Cloud, he had connected to Star Lord Hao Yue, and apart from their initial encounter at the grand martial arts tournament among the immortals, defeating Star Lord Hao Yue, there was nothing significant he benefited from.

Finally, the opportunity to gain benefit effortlessly had arrived.
