In the vast river of stars, a crimson flame flickered into visibility.
Located in Dragon City of the Eastern Continent, at Federation Headquarters.
The elder with silver hair stood atop the observation deck, gazing into the horizon.
He had served as a member of Sky’s Watch for fifty years, seen too many storms, and in this life, his only wish was for his nation’s peace and his people’s safety.
A faint sound came from behind him, but he did not look back, only asking softly, “Has the insider been found?”
“Not yet.” The response came from a young man’s voice, surrounded by a halo of pure white light, with folded wings that looked even more immaculate than the soft snow of goose feathers.
“It’s a troubled autumn.” The silver-haired elder could not help but cough, wiping his mouth with a hand, turning his palm to hide the traces of blood within it.
“The mysterious strongman who appeared in Central State–is his involvement with the great battle from five years ago important, it’s whether he has anything to do with that incident in the Western Continent that matters.”
Upon hearing this, the young man looked up, and ultimately, without seeing the elder turn back, he replied with a hint of resignation, “The infection source that appeared in the Western Continent has been eradicated, and the infected have been dealt with cleanly. Timing-wise… just perfect. However, I’ve inspected the scene, and it is different from the non-natural forces released in the Western Continent, so we can conclude that the two incidents are unrelated.”
“Has Star Ring inquired about this matter?” asked the silver-haired elder.
“They have.”
“What did they say?”
“They said nothing, but the Judges under its command were very frightening when dealing with the infected… ”
The silver-haired elder, upon hearing this, said no more.
The communicator on the young man’s chest vibrated, and he rolled his eyes in exasperation, “Alright, alright, I misspoke just now. Star Ring wants me back… I’ll probably be confined, remember to bail me out.”
After speaking, the young man took flight with wings outspread.
The silver-haired elder raised his head, still staring at the cosmic stars above.
Muttering to himself, “If the Flowing Flame Layer is meant to protect us, then is the world beyond it very dangerous?”
…
…
The night sky over Da Peng City was torn apart by a flash of lightning.
Pei Jinye paused for a moment before speaking, “What secret?”
Xing Tian slowly said, “Since the Star Calendar Year 101, Star Ring has gradually started delegating power, and only then did our Five Continent’s Intelligence barely gain the right to make its own judgments… It has never been one to act without purpose. I didn’t understand it before, but now that you mention it, I’m sure Star Ring has evidence of contact with Different World… right in the Arctic!”
“The Arctic?” Pei Jinye raised his eyebrows slightly, “If I remember correctly, that place is basically uninhabited.”
“That’s right, but in reality, Star Ring has a laboratory there… The Arctic is also the birthplace of the Transcendents.”
“Origin?”
Pei Jinye’s eyes brightened slightly.
Xing Tian continued, “As for the creation of Transcendents, the Federation has always externally claimed it to be the work of Star Ring, but during my secret investigations, I discovered that Transcendents originated in the Arctic… related to a wormhole. However, the wormhole from that time has been sealed by Star Ring… What lies beyond the wormhole, Star Ring has not disclosed, nor allowed such information to be circulated… Based on my current speculation, this is probably its channel for contacting Different World…”
He paused a moment.
After processing the information in his mind, Xing Tian said, “At first, it did not have the power to confront the forces from Different World, so it chose to seal it. But now, it most likely feels it has the power to counter the other side, so it has reopened the wormhole… The creatures from the V Era and the beings from Different World you’ve encountered are highly similar…”
“If Different World involves belief, then their combat power system might be stronger than we can imagine. The power of belief exceeds our current combat power levels…”
“Star Ring is so persistent, probably because–”
“It wants all creatures in this world to truly believe in it!”
“It wants to be the sole god of this world!”
…
Dawn broke.
Pei Jinye gradually ended his training.
Pei Jinye opened his eyes and looked out at the drizzle, thinking about last night’s conversation with Xing Tian.
“If Judgement Place is Star Ring’s experimental lab,” he thought, “then all those Judges in there are its disciples.”
“Star Ring… has not yet grasped the true core, otherwise, they wouldn’t risk making contact with the Mysterious World.”
“Faith… is it really that powerful?”
Pei Jinye neither affirmed nor denied Star Ring’s pursuits.
After consolidating his resources,
he stopped concerning himself with external affairs and continued his cultivation.
No matter what Star Ring wished to do, he had no reason to change his plans because of the outside world’s ebbs and flows.
Become stronger!
Become much stronger!
…
Three years passed in a flash.
A thunderburst resounded from the deep sea.
A massive whirlpool suddenly appeared on the ocean’s surface, only to return to calmness in an instant, too fast for the outside world to notice anything.
In a blink of an eye,
the furious sea seemed to split open, and a figure emerged from the seabed, creating lotuses with every step, crossing nearly a hundred meters to the shore.
In three years’ time, Pei Jinye’s appearance had become even more resolute.
Furthermore, with the cultivation of “Heaven and Earth Life Character Art”, he didn’t look a day older, maintaining the youthful face of a man in his twenties.
“You’ve become stronger again,” Xing Tian’s voice came through from a communicator nearby.
Pei Jinye said with a light chuckle, “I owe it to you for managing the external affairs over these three years, giving me more energy to focus. Now… I am only a step away from the last realm of the Upper Third Realms of Martial Arts.”
“Does the realm of Martial Saint truly exist in this world?” Xing Tian was very curious.
It had never encountered the existence of the pinnacle of Martial Arts in its database.
The Three Realms of Martial Arts are the Melting Furnace Realm, Manifested Saint Realm, and the final realm, Martial Saint.
Xing Tian had seen martial artists of the Melting Furnace Realm, but nearly “zero” of the Manifested Saint – it had only read about them in records, but never encountered any living Manifested Saint Realm martial artists.
As for Martial Saints… they were purely the stuff of legends.
It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that there was probably no one else in the world who understood Martial Arts better than Pei Jinye.
With ten thousand times Martial Arts Talent!
And tempered by the Martial Arts of Different World… this insight is far beyond the reach of martial artists from his native world.
“To say that Martial Saint is the peak is less accurate than saying that it is just a name for a realm,” Pei Jin pondered deeply, having come this far with a comprehensive understanding of the Upper Third Realms.
Martial Saint doesn’t mean that one becomes a saint at that stage,
but rather, it’s about the native world’s Martial Arts reaching a sanctified extreme!
Not Pei Jinye’s sanctified extreme!
With the Life valve not fully opened, the Martial Saint of the Upper Third Realms doesn’t deserve the word “saint.”

“However, although Martial Saints aren’t truly saints, to cultivate to that level is to transcend the flesh and blood in a way that defies normal understanding.”
Xing Tian was well-versed in human physiology, and with Pei Jinye’s indications, it quickly grasped his point.
“Martial Arts… do indeed play a role in human evolution. Star Ring has mentioned this, but because of the long cycles and uncertain results, it was excluded from the mainstream systems. Nevertheless, considering the legacy of Martial Arts, Star Ring released the Body Technique System… Initially, there were only the single-system transcendent Body Techniques… Later, systems related to other domains of Body Techniques slowly emerged… This might as well be another of Star Ring’s experiments.”
“So, can you stand on the shoulders of giants and create Extraordinary-Human Genes?” Pei Jinye anticipated.
“Shall I… give it a try?”
