For Lu Sheng, the Martial Alliance is merely an external force.
By leveraging this external force, Lu Sheng can shatter the world’s celestial veil at the fastest speed, allowing his true self to descend upon this realm.
Only then can he complete the task set by Star River University.
And perhaps even... find a way to heal the Heaven-Reaching Vine! Original content can be found at novᴇlfire.net
Thus, after some brief contemplation, Lu Sheng agreed with the other party’s proposition.
"I am willing to join the Martial Alliance!"
As Lu Sheng’s voice faded, the two Great Grandmasters exchanged glances, a rare smile appearing on their weary and sorrowful faces.
"The Martial Alliance finally has fresh blood!"
One Great Grandmaster sighed with emotion, then addressed Lu Sheng: "Since you are willing to join our Martial Alliance, I must inform you about its circumstances!"
Speaking thus, the Great Grandmaster glanced around at the martial artists and suggested to Lu Sheng: "Let’s discuss this elsewhere!"
Lu Sheng nodded, following the two Great Grandmasters to a deserted spot.
Only then did the faces of the two Great Grandmasters show a touch of helplessness: "Now that you are part of our Martial Alliance, I need to reveal to you the truth of this world. I hope you won’t be too agitated after hearing it!"
Lu Sheng’s eyebrows raised slightly; he understood why the two brought him to a secluded place.
The essence of this world was already somewhat clear to Lu Sheng through his perception.
Indeed, as expected, Lu Sheng heard the Great Grandmaster slowly start: "In this world, despite the sprawling realm of our Great Qin, filled with countless creatures and martial artists, ultimately... we are mere fodder for the demons!"
The Great Grandmaster’s tone was incredibly solemn, revealing even his despair about the world’s truth, despite his status similar to a Tier Five Great Grandmaster.
Lu Sheng, listening, remained exceptionally calm.
Firstly, Lu Sheng had already learned of this matter through the information he gathered; secondly...
Such events are all too common in the universe.
Not to mention the Three Thousand Worlds of the Void Insect Race, even the Human Federation’s Mechanical Transformers represent another special form of cultivation.
This universe inherently houses the law of the jungle; without striving to become stronger, one can only become prey to the strong.
The two Great Grandmasters, seeing Lu Sheng’s tranquil demeanor, couldn’t help but admire him.
"Your calm nature is commendable for a youngster; with such talent, you will surely become the next supreme Great Grandmaster of the Martial Alliance given time!"
Faced with their praise, Lu Sheng merely nodded slightly, maintaining his calm demeanor.
Subsequently, the two Great Grandmasters informed Lu Sheng of the Martial Alliance’s conditions and the world’s truth, bit by bit.
From their explanations, Lu Sheng gained a preliminary understanding of the Martial Alliance.
The Martial Alliance regulates all martial artists in the Great Qin realm, regardless of whether they are part of the Martial Alliance or not, subjecting them all to its jurisdiction.
Even today’s supreme Great Grandmasters are, in fact, members of the Martial Alliance.
Moreover, those Mental Realm Maps have all spread from the Martial Alliance.
However, compared to the Flowing Water Intent Technique that Gao had given Lu Sheng earlier, the Martial Alliance possesses more profound Mental Realm Maps.
It’s precisely through these Mental Realm Maps that the Martial Alliance can foster Grandmasters, Great Grandmasters, and even supreme Great Grandmasters.
Yet even so, they cannot escape the fate of being demon fodder.
"This is demon flesh and blood; ingesting demon flesh can enhance your perception of the Mental Realm!"
Saying so, a Great Grandmaster turned his hand and unveiled a blob of flesh in his palm, with sticky blood dripping from it.
"However, although the demon flesh can boost one’s Mental Realm, consuming it could impede your path forward, making breakthroughs difficult!"
The Great Grandmaster said slowly.
Lu Sheng’s gaze fell on the demon flesh, sensing vague Mental Realm fluctuations within.
Yet amidst these Mental Realm fluctuations, a particular form of energy restrains them.
"So... this particular energy is suppressing the Mental Realm."
"Ingesting demon flesh indeed allows one to reinforce their Mental Realm with the essence within; however, the unique energy in the flesh, once entering a being, restrains their Mental Realm."
"Thus, the reason for the impeded path upon ingesting demon flesh!"
Lu Sheng instantly uncovers the mystery of the demon flesh.
Being a Tier Seven Cosmic Life Form, he can quickly analyze the situation.
"Nonetheless, the martial artists of this world already face the celestial veil’s suppression and the demons’ threats, so instead of becoming demon fodder, they might as well consume demon flesh, strengthen their Mental Realm, and gain some power of resistance."
"Especially for martial artists whose Mental Realm cannot advance further, demon flesh becomes their sole means of progress."
