Martial Master

The land of the Divine Forbidden far surpasses the levels possessed by the Tianwu Continent. For instance, the Nine-Star Divine Emperor Art was something Qin Chen almost couldn't believe existed before entering the Divine Forbidden land, because it required one to open all twelve meridians during the Meridian Condensing phase to even qualify for its cultivation.

However, although the human body has twelve meridians, achieving this during the Meridian Condensing phase seemed impossible. In Qin Chen's memory, throughout the thousands of years of Tianwu Continent's history, not a single person ever accomplished it. Even the top geniuses of the Martial Domain in the past could only open eleven meridians, which was considered the limit.

Yet, the Nine-Star Divine Emperor Art contained methods to open the twelfth meridian.

"In my past life, when I obtained the Nine-Star Divine Emperor Art, I was already an eighth-level Martial Emperor, long past the time to lay foundations. Now that fate has given me another chance, not cultivating the Nine-Star Divine Emperor Art would be a waste of my rebirth."

"But..."

"Now that I have reached the Human Level, seven of my meridians are fixed. Unless I break and rebuild, it's impossible to open the remaining meridians..."

"Feng Shaoyu and the others are eager to act, likely to seize the Nine-Star Divine Emperor Art and other treasures from me, right?"

Qin Chen's eyes shone like stars.

He pondered for a moment, then opened the door and strode out.

"Mother, I need to go out for a bit, I'll be back soon." Qin Chen informed his mother and quickly left the Qin Mansion.

"Be safe," Qin Yuechi called anxiously, "and don't cause trouble," she thought to herself, praying silently.

On his way, all the servants of the Qin family stepped aside upon seeing him, and even the guards at the mansion's gate had an unusual respect in their demeanor. The incident where Qin Chen killed two guards in front of Madam Zhao had already spread within the Qin Mansion, and almost no one dared to underestimate this young master with a special identity.

On the bustling streets.

The capital was lively and vibrant, giving Qin Chen a sense of time-travel. He immersed himself in the surroundings, savoring the sights and sounds.

Following his memory, he walked into an extremely lively street in the capital, gradually reaching the most prosperous street in the Great Qi Kingdom's capital.

On both sides of the street, grand and imposing shops stood resplendently.

"To break and rebuild, reforge the meridians, one must rely on the Celestial Meridian Needle, and the materials to craft it are extremely precious, only found where craftsmen gather."

Qin Chen mused as he walked forward.

Suddenly, a landmark-like building appeared before him, towering a hundred meters high, majestic and occupying an excellent location at a corner of the street.

At this moment, the open space in front of the shop was bustling with pedestrians, with luxurious carriages parked, indicating that the guests entering this shop were either wealthy or noble.

"Qi Dian!"

Qin Chen looked up at the gilt sign hanging above the entrance and stepped inside.

Qi Dian was one of the most powerful organizations in the Tianwu Continent, with an incredibly long history, said to be traced back to ancient times.

In the Tianwu Continent, organizations like Qi Dian, the Alchemist Pavilion, and the Sanctum of Bloodlines boasted immense power. Even the top empires on the continent regarded them with great reverence.

Among them, Qi Dian specialized in gathering craftsmen from all over the world. All craftsmen's professional certifications, grade promotions, and badge issuances had to be completed at Qi Dian. Every city had a branch of Qi Dian, and the one in Qi Du was located in the capital of the Great Qi Kingdom, grand and vast beyond comparison with other branches.

"I wonder if they have the materials to craft the Celestial Meridian Needle here?"

Casually entering Qi Dian, a hubbub of noise immediately filled Qin Chen's ears.
