Since that day when he left Xiangyun City, Li Hu has followed the paths of the majority of martial artists in the Martial World, arriving at an unnamed small town.

He naturally does not know where the relics of the Martial Ancestor are, but as a stronghold most deeply entrenched in the Wilderness Mountains, it is currently teeming with all sorts of people from the three religions and nine schools of thought in the Martial Arts. One might get lucky and learn some news.

Therefore, he undertook his main trade and disguised as an innkeeper, dutifully working in the inn.

An inn is always a good place to gather information.

Although Li Hu's reputation is tremendous, the destruction of the Cyan Dragon Demon Venerable with a single strike in Celestial Essence shook the entire Martial Arts world.

But in reality, very few in the Martial Arts community can recognize him by appearance.

In these three years, he has overheard others discussing him more than once,

and little did those people know that the servant serving tea and sweeping the floor beside them was the sweeping master, the fourth Grandmaster famed throughout the world!

Within the inn, Li Hu continued his cultivation in seclusion while using his powerful Spiritual Power to eavesdrop on information.

As he expected, these wandering martial artists would always reveal some traces, and by comparing these clues and calculating on the map, Li Hu has roughly estimated the area of the valley perilous land reached by that lucky Hunter back then.

Through the Martial Arts Origin Scripture, Li Hu has already gleaned some of the mystical ideals of the Dao Ancestor and Martial Ancestor from ancient times, seeing the great paths they had walked through space-time.

Li Hu is certain that,

the Martial Ancestor must have been a Celestial Human level expert,

or even beyond!

That is the realm of the founding master of Martial Arts, a level never reached by any second person in history.

To create their own world and path, truly deserving of the title of ancestor.

During these days of comprehending the Martial Arts Origin Scripture, although Li Hu has seen some of the mysteries above the Grandmaster realm in the Celestial Human Realm, he still lacks a stroke of Spiritual Mechanism to step into that Celestial Human Realm.

Heavenly Stone.

In those years, during the Dao discussion between the Martial Ancestor and Dao Ancestor, a Heavenly Stone descended from the sky, which the Martial Ancestor comprehended for seven days and nights, thus founding the path of Qi Cultivation in Martial Arts.

What Li Hu lacks, that missing stroke of Spiritual Mechanism, is the Heavenly Stone.

Now that he has found a clue, Li Hu does not intend to wait any longer.

Early in the morning, he went to the market, negotiated a fair price with Wang, the vegetable delivery man, and purchased a batch of vegetables.

Passing by a rice shop, he ordered three big bags of rice according to the shopkeeper's instruction.

Having completed these menial tasks, on his way back he encountered Zhang Feng and his entourage from the Celestial Essence Sect.

This was Li Hu's first encounter with Zhang Feng.

When he was secluded for cultivation in the Library of the Celestial Essence Sect back then, Zhang Feng's name was well-known, but he hadn't seen him much face-to-face.

Seeing that scene on the long street,

Li Hu paid no mind, nor did he linger, he directly moved on.

With the affairs of this body, that strike from years ago has already fully repaid everything.

The crowd from the Celestial Essence Sect did not know that among the dense crowd, the person they were discussing was just brushing past them.

Returning to the inn, after preparing all of today's work, Li Hu intended to quit his job with the innkeeper.

The innkeeper pleaded with him to stay repeatedly, for someone like Li Hu, who worked diligently without pay, was always beneficial to the inn.

But Li Hu had already made up his mind,

not just to explore the remnants left by the Martial Ancestor in the Wilderness Forest, seeking that Heavenly Stone.

More so because these days, his Spiritual Sense told him some trouble was coming for him.

Li Hu does not fear trouble, but he hates it, hence he prepared to leave.

However, what was meant to come could not be avoided.

With a declaration resonating through the sky, three Grandmaster Level auras bloomed in the sky, sweeping like a tsunami in all directions, stirring up violent tempests.

"Die!!!"

A dark star, accompanied by an aura as sharp as a master, suddenly descended from the sky, swirling into a fierce gale over the entire long street, countless razor-sharp fragmented energies like a Milky Way waterfall crashing down from the heavens!

At the same time,

A figure whose appearance on the long street went unnoticed detonated the energy under its feet like a bomb, the ground shattering with a roar, debris splintering outward in all directions, and the entire figure transformed into a gray lightning bolt with sheer formidable energy sprinting forward.

At the same moment, a soft hand unexpectedly broke through the void, coming forth mightily, the currents of air all around drawn by its True Qi, undulating unpredictably like the tides, layers of power piling up, crashing towards Li Hu's back.

The three appeared so quickly, their attack arrived too hastily,

In a blink, from above, in front, and behind, the three deadly strikes closed off all space for Li Hu to evade.

"That is... Grandmasters! A siege by three Grandmasters!"

In a flash, as the three unleashed their overwhelming momentum, all the martial artists present turned pale in shock.

Every Grandmaster is an exceptional master of great rarity in the Martial World, capable of founding their sect and dominating a region.

Yet today, three Grandmasters unexpectedly appeared together to strike?!

In an instant, their combined deadly strike had reached Li Hu, leaving him nowhere to escape, nowhere to hide!

Li Hu stood there in a daze, seemingly unable to react, as if resigned to his fate.

The three figures, in that moment, revealed vicious smiles on their faces, they had planned and laid ambush here for a long time, their concentrated killer move was impactful even for a Grandmaster to endure.

To use Grandmasters to counterattack a Grandmaster, achieving an almost nonexistent feat in the history of the Martial Arts, was about to occur at their hands!

"I have no intent to kill others, why then do they come courting death?"

The eerie voice reached their ears, before they could react,

Suddenly,

The person before them "disappeared"!

Not in the literal sense of vanishing, for his figure was still right there, but at that moment, he became nonexistent, became nothing.

The void was profound, formless, and shapeless.

His entire strength seemed to plunge into the endless void.

Li Hu's entire being seemed to vanish from the world, though his figure was clearly in sight, it was as if he had disappeared between heaven and earth.

"Not good!"

The trio became greatly alarmed in their hearts, a sense of extreme danger loomed above them.

However, there was no time to change their move.

A palm descended, as if hitting the void.

Their whole existence seemed to disappear from the world, though his silhouette was right before their eyes, yet it seemed as if he had vanished from the realms.

Assembling all the strength of a Grandmaster's full strike, vast and grand force instantly dispersed.

Vaguely, before their eyes, a yin-yang shadow loomed, and the next moment,

Boom boom boom!

An even more terrifying, indescribable force struck their chests, as if heaven and earth collapsed, earth's fire erupted, tides surged...

The three Grandmaster-level experts, with even faster speed, were knocked back, like cannonballs crashing heavily into buildings, collapsing several houses with a boom.
