The Divine Martial Stars

sing his mastery of both the Xiantian Skill and the Zhenwu Boxing took precedence.

Especially how he could feel the cultivation of his natural qi and his physical endurance enhancing exponentially every day since he had managed to break through the barriers that impeded him before.

He had achieved the early stages of the Soldier Realm.

His speed had reached an incredible rate, helped no less by the rich and vibrant natural energies that pervaded White Earth.

At present, in his Sea of Consciousness, the far-reaching bridge that spanned across the vast sea within him and connected his Mud-pill Palace and Paramita was ready.
Magnificent and divine like a work of art fashioned by the hands of the gods, the length of the bridge sought as if to traverse over Time and Space.

The bridge of Man’s mortality.

And the spiritual self within him had reached the farthest end of the bridge with one of his feet already on the opposite bank.
Paramita.

“To traverse the bridge to reach the bank of Paramita.
That is the Soldier Realm.
In the language of the warrior’s way across the galaxy, the Soldier Realm is also the Realm of Enlightenment (Paramita).
With my spiritual self now reaching the opposite bank, I am at the early stage of the Soldier Realm.”

Li Mu had pored through the pages of countless tomes and manuscripts of varying sects and orders to know enough of the advancement he was experiencing right now.

With only one inspection of the spiritual domain inside himself, he immediately knew where he was.

He was at the General Realm before when he could defeat his foes with relative ease – he even vanquished enemies using his fists alone.
But this was the Ziwei Star Zone and word of the tournament with the princess’s hand in marriage as the grand prize has attracted enough champions, mavens, and even other Heavenly Legends from every corner of the Star Zone to White Earth, and just being at the early stage of the Soldier Realm would never be enough.

Even if he could defeat General-Realm opponents, it would still not be enough.

Hence, increasing his powers remained the most pressing of all.

He mulled for a quiet moment then he swallowed the Heavenly Fox’s Blessing that the envoy had given him for his victory.

Li Mu had spent several days studying the pill using his Third Eye to make sure nothing was wrong before he consumed it.

The pill entered his mouth and as he swallowed it, he could feel a warm rush surging through every limb and every part of him.

For an entire night, Li Mu allowed his body to synthesize the nourishment of the pill.

The next morning.

Li Mu finished his training.
His spiritual self, which formerly had one foot still on the divine bridge in the spiritual world inside him, now has both his feet squarely on the other side now.
Paramita.

Full completion of the early stage of the Soldier Realm.

His powers had grown in one night.

He spent the whole day on another tour of Imperium Vulpes with Bi Yan, to see the life of the average citizen there and to witness more of the lofty glory of the civilization there as they shopped for souvenirs.

Halfway through his souvenir hunt for Qing Feng and Ming Yue, Li Mu realized that he had more friends at the Heavenly Land and hence he decided to get something for each of them.

What first began as simple shopping mutated into a rabid shopping spree.

But not to fear, Li Mu was now as rich as a king.

“Something tells me that my home is nearby,” Bi Yan said suddenly.

Li Mu stared at her.

“This mountain that reminds me of a monkey’s face… I’m sure I’ve seen it before…” Bi Yan pointed a finger at the jagged rock face of a mountain not far away.
It was true.
Upon closer inspection, it did really resemble a monkey’s face.

Bi Yan beamed with excitement.

After days of canvassing all across Imperium Vulpes, they had finally stumbled upon something real.

“Think harder.
Look for more clues.”

Li Mu accompanied her as they wandered in the areas around the mountain.

The grin on Bi Yan’s face only grew broader.

She began to pick up more recollections of her childhood that helped her to identify places and scenes where she could recognize.
The more they walked, the more the memory of her past which had been covered by the sands of Time slowly came into lucidity.

“Just in front.”

Tugging his arm, Bi Yan led him to the outside of a hamlet made of stone tenements.

The bustling streets of the busiest areas of Imperium Vulpes and the quietest and most modest parts of the great city formed an uncanny and delicate but yet congenial harmony.

And the little hamlet before them now was part of the most tranquil corners of Imperium Vulpes like a paradise tucked hidden away from the usual tumult and hubbub of the busiest squares and boulevards outside.

“This must be it! I remember these rock columns!”

Bi Yan squealed, so agitated that her eyes grew wet with tears.

At the front of the small village were a pair of chalk-white pillars of rock, weatherworn by time and weather enough that the ridges and grooves on their surfaces felt coarse to the touch, causing one of them, which was leaning on the other, looked more strangely obvious.

Li Mu and Bi Yan stepped through the arch and into the village.

Lo and behold, the villagers inside were all Green Foxes, just like Bi Yan.

By now, Bi Yan’s face was a mix of excitement, anticipation, and trepidation.

She had never looked so anxious before.

So many years had passed and she could not know how her home was and if her parents were still alive.
She did not know if the money exchanged from trading away her own life and freedom had helped to cure the disease that was beleaguering her ailing father – or not.

They reached the end of the cobblestone alley.

A rickety little cottage made of bamboo sat inside a fenced compound came within sight.
