High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late

Chapter 548 - 391: Martial Arts Imprint, the Path to the Saint Realm!

The Qinling Mountain Range stands majestic and magnificent, and the Huai River winds and twists. From high above, they look like two giant dragons lying across the Huaxia Land.

This place marks the boundary between the north and south of Huaxia.

As night falls, in the Qinling Mountain Range, a small mountaintop has a flickering firelight.

Zooming in, one can see the firelight comes from a tent, outside of which there is a camping BBQ grill and a small table.

In the tent is a young couple.

Ah!

The boy suddenly shrinks his neck and cries out, the girl laughs, her eyes turning into crescents, wearing a proud expression. It was she who just stuck her hands into the boy’s back.

"It’s so cold at night..."

The girl rubs her hands, the boy shakes his head in exasperation, then cups the girl’s hands and huffs warm air onto them, slowly infusing them with Qi and Blood.

"Now you feel cold? Who told you not to cultivate properly? Look at me, as a Second Level Martial Artist, I’m not afraid of the cold."

"Humph, if you’re not afraid of the cold, what was that reaction just now?"

"I, I was just startled, that’s all."

The young couple chats and laughs while grilling meat. However, the girl, thinking about their impending separation during the New Year, feels a bit sad. The boy pinches her nose.

"Alright, the New Year will come soon. After we graduate, I, I will..."

The girl’s eyes sparkle with anticipation, but the boy blushes, finally mumbling, "Let’s talk about it after, after graduation."

"Humph, coward."

The girl turns her head, muttering softly.

The boy’s cheeks redden, and he changes the topic, "I’ve checked the weather forecast, and it said there might be a meteor shower tonight."

"Really?"

The girl looks up at the night sky. Tonight, the clouds obscure the moon, and stars are rarely seen, making the girl somewhat skeptical.

"Of course, why would I lie to you?"

After saying that, the boy’s eyes flicker, and he looks down to fiddle with the roast meat in his hand, secretly swallowing a gulp of water. Of course, this was a lie; he just wanted a chance to spend the night alone.

Otherwise, if there really were a meteor shower, the mountains might have been bustling by now.

"Although there’s no meteor shower, there will be a sunrise!" the boy silently thought.

After eating BBQ, they cuddled together for a long time, but there was no sign of a meteor shower. The boy looked at the girl’s wind-chilled cheeks with some pity and spoke.

"The forecast might be inaccurate. It’s too cold and windy in the mountains. How about we go inside first?"

"I see."

The girl finally glanced at the pitch-black sky with some reluctance. But the boy wasn’t wrong; it was indeed quite cold at night with the wind blowing.

Struggling internally for a moment, she nodded, "Alright then..."

The boy, feeling guilty, helped the girl up. Just as they were about to go inside, suddenly, there was a brilliant light from above, and the girl turned around with surprise, looking up.

"A meteor, look, there’s really a meteor, and it’s golden, such a big one! The forecast was actually right!"

The boy was stunned, with a look of disbelief. He looked in the direction the excited girl pointed, seeing a dazzling streak of light across the Qinling sky, trailing a beautiful tail, so gorgeous.

"No way, there’s really one?!"

"Let’s make a wish quickly!"

The girl immediately clasped her hands to her chest, closed her eyes, and made a wish. The boy hesitated, wanting to make a wish too, but quickly remembered he had brought a simple astronomical telescope to cover the lie about the meteor shower.

"I brought a telescope, do you want to see?"

"Yes!"

The girl was jubilant, clapping her hands.

The boy immediately rushed back to the tent, and while searching for the telescope under the light of his phone, he suddenly heard the girl’s exclamation from outside.

"Come out quickly, come out!"

"What, what’s wrong?!"

"Look, another meteor, and the color is different. See, this new one is red. We’re so lucky!"

"But doesn’t it look strange? Look, why aren’t these two meteors falling down... they seem to be chasing each other?"

...

"The basis of Immortal Power is Immortal Force."

High above, transformed into a golden streak, Su Mu murmured to himself. Then he activated Immortal Force to start healing the injuries from using Immortal Power. At this moment, he gained a deeper understanding of Immortal Power.

Although Immortal Power is strong, its side effects are also tremendous, a double-edged sword.

"Truly a pleasant surprise. If I had used an ordinary cell rather than an evolving Immortal Cell back then, I might not have birthed this Immortal Demon Pattern."

"Ultimately, it would only have caused that cell to collapse under the force of Immortal Power."

But in Su Mu’s view, although Immortal Power requires Immortal Force as a base, it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s stronger. He believes these two powers are on the same level, complementing each other. It’s just that mastering Immortal Power comes with harsher conditions.

With this thought, a thrill passed through Su Mu’s heart, acknowledging that discovering Immortal Power involved significant luck.

However, tracing it back, the origin of this power stemmed from the superpower granted by Pandora’s Box, obtained by scholar Yuan Cheng.

"But luck itself is a part of strength. No matter, this Immortal Power is now my strength, Su Mu, for me to wield!"

Soaring through the night sky, just as Su Mu intended to return to the train, the Crystal Human Form within his Sea of Consciousness slowly opened its eyes.

The twelve Immortal Cells and Peak Blade Momentum within him also reacted.

They issued subtle warnings of danger.
