High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late

Chapter 597 - 413: Martial Momentum Clash, Domain Insights, and the Feast Begins! (2)

Huangfu Tian temporarily named this special power as a domain. A domain is constructed from the fusion of peak martial momentum, spiritual power, and the power of laws, creating a world that amplifies oneself, weakens the enemy, and is more favorable for self-combat. This power is the domain.

Within the Purple Jade were Huangfu Tian’s insights and some perspectives on constructing a domain.

After swiftly comprehending them once, Su Mu’s eyes lit up, and his heart was like seeing the sun through the clouds, suddenly enlightened. He immediately had a deeper understanding of his own strength.

"Huangfu Tian is indeed a martial arts demon!"

"So that’s how it is, what a power of domain... But perhaps I mastered this power long ago; the Martial God state belongs to my Su Mu’s domain."

"Huangfu Tian divided the power of domain into several levels, and it would be good to communicate with him about it later."

"Though the great paths differ, they all ultimately converge. This insight into domains given by Huangfu Tian can save me a lot of time."

When they first met, the gift that Huangfu Tian gave was indeed heavy, considered extremely valuable, enough to drive any titled grandmaster in the world crazy.

Because the power of domain is genuinely above the titled level, an ordinary titled grandmaster, should they have such insight, would not easily pass it on even to direct disciples or their children, let alone cherish it themselves.

"Such precious domain insights just tossed to me like this, what a carefree nature. I just wonder how much Huangfu Tian knows about the catastrophe?"

...

With the crow of a rooster, the world became white.

A resonant bell sound came from the Ye Clan territory; the Ye Clan’s grand feast commenced. For a moment, the entire city celebrated, drums and gongs resounded, and fireworks lit up the sky.

The young girl at the front desk of the Ye City Martial Arts Association came to the door of Su Mu’s cultivation room. After rearranging the schedule at yesterday’s meeting, today happened to be her rest day, and she planned to invite this hard-to-encounter countryman for a walk.

However, the door to the cultivation room was open, and there was no sign of Su Mu inside.

The young girl had a hint of regret on her face, guessing in her heart that Su Mu might have gone for a stroll in the city early on his own.

"I still thought of taking him for a walk... Well, since it’s like this, I’ll just stroll alone; being by myself is nice too."

The Ye Clan territory’s red walls stood tall and stretched endlessly.

Su Mu gazed afar at the Ye Clan territory, unintentionally full of emotion, "The Shu Mountain stands alone, Apang emerges, spanning more than three hundred miles, shielding the sky and sun. Perhaps the Apang Palace the overlord saw back then was no more than this?"

Moments later, Su Mu shook his head.

This world is the High Martial World, and the grandeur of the Ye Clan before his eyes is likely far beyond what the Apang Palace of his previous life could compare to.

"Halt, the Ye Clan’s important ground, idle people disperse!"

A gleaming armored patrol team of Ye Clan disciples immediately stopped Su Mu.

Su Mu had a flash of surprise in his eyes, this team of ten young-looking Ye Clan disciples was at least peak sixth-level martial artists, and the two leading them were grandmasters, yet this was just one team.

"Peak sixth-level as soldiers, grandmasters on patrol, what an extravagant display; truly worthy of a top martial arts family!"

Su Mu promptly took out a red gold-bordered invitation.

Upon seeing the gold-bordered invitation, all the patrolling Ye Clan disciples’ expressions changed slightly. The gold-bordered invitations issued by the Ye Clan weren’t many and were only issued to Huaxia’s top forces, the military department, Martial Arts Association Headquarters, or the top forces of Western countries.

"Sir, please allow me to check it."

"Sure."

The leading Ye Clan disciple took it and immediately understood that the invitation was genuine; the material of this invitation was not simple, made from the Ye Clan’s carefully cultivated millennia-old Purple Blood Bamboo.

"Southern War Zone?!... Sir, let me take you inside then." The leading Ye Clan disciple was immediately astonished. He had heard that Su Mu, who topped the Sword Monument yesterday, was someone from the Southern War Zone.

"Alright, much appreciated."

As Su Mu passed through the Ye Clan’s gate, he immediately sensed no less than five spiritual power scans, and these spiritual powers were at least at the level of Fifth Forging Title Grandmaster.

A Titled Grandmaster, one difficult to see even in a usual province, yet the Ye Clan used five to guard their gate.

"Martial Arts Grandmasters on patrol, Titled Grandmasters guarding the gate, a millennium’s foundations are indeed extraordinary."

Su Mu couldn’t help but secretly think,

"May I ask if you are Su Mu from the Southern War Zone?"

Seeing Su Mu nod, the grandmaster leading the way for the Ye Clan immediately showed respect, a respect for the strong, and because he had been humiliated by Ye Jian before, the grandmaster respected Su Mu even more.

The Ye Clan grandmaster soon led Su Mu to a garden entrance, where he clasped his hands in salute.

"Mr. Su, ahead is the Ye Clan Celestial Institute where the grand feast is held. I am not qualified to proceed further, so I can only bring you here."

"Thank you, could you tell me where the cloakroom is?"

"This way, let me take you there."

Su Mu quickly stepped into a small courtyard, where he took out a military uniform, changing into it, meticulously adjusting the golden star and epaulet on his shoulders. He seldom wore a formal military uniform, mostly wearing the specially made physical training suit of the war zone.

After changing, Su Mu stepped into the Ye Clan Celestial Institute.

Separated by just a yard, it seemed like another world, the external clamor silenced. The view ahead suddenly opened up like a worldly paradise, first entering the vision was a seemingly endless lake and a magnificent palace on the lake.

Upon stepping into the grand hall,

many eyes immediately turned to him. Su Mu keenly felt a few unusual gazes flash by, one of which carried killing intent and resentment.

Without looking, Su Mu knew this one came from Ye Jian.

As for the others, they indeed piqued Su Mu’s curiosity, realizing he had so many potential enemies.

Su Mu immediately looked with interest and soon noticed several black martial robes.

"People from Overlord Blade Saint Martial Hall? That’s fair enough."

Su Mu muttered as he nodded internally. He acknowledged this grudge with the Overlord Blade Saint Martial Hall but did not mind; soon, it would be time to kill.

Retracting his gaze, Su Mu soon noticed some unique faces, some blonde-haired, blue-eyed Westerners, and those in samurai robes.

"Samurai robes, from Japan?"

Su Mu’s gaze fell on a few warriors; immediately, one warrior snorted coldly and grinned at Su Mu, making a throat-slitting provocative gesture.

Seeing this, Su Mu’s lips curled slightly. Since they were Japanese samurai, if the opportunity arose, he wouldn’t mind crushing a few more for the Ye clan elder’s birthday celebration, thinking Huaxia people present wouldn’t mind too much.

Amidst the numerous hostile gazes, there were several joyful ones, one of which was from Huangfu Xue. Huangfu Xue smiled and wanted to wave but remembered something, reluctantly lowering her hand from mid-air.

Additionally, there was also an intense gaze, Su Mu looked over and found a golden-haired girl looking like a nun. Their eyes met; the girl immediately lowered her head, seemingly shy.

"Bright Church Court?"

Su Mu was slightly stunned; if there were connections between him and the Bright Church Court, it would only be the Three Flowers of the Sage, though this matter should not have been leaked.

While Su Mu was puzzled, two people in military coats from the war zone walked over, bearing four stars on their shoulders, each of them capable of temporarily taking over military authority in a provincial war zone during wartime.

"Haha, our Su Mu General Star of the Southern War Zone has finally arrived!"

"Greetings to both commanders."

Su Mu raised his right arm like a steel blade, saluting the two elder commanders before him.

"Alright, this isn’t the war zone, you can relax a bit, moreover today, Su Mu, you are our leader; we’ll listen to you."

The grand feast began, glasses clinked amid the crowd. Su Mu, not good at socializing, drank alone, while Huangfu Xue couldn’t get away as she represented the Huangfu Family. This was when Ye Wuhen approached.

"Su Mu, long time no see, too bad Brother Ximen can’t ever join us now... This isn’t the place for reminiscence."

"I’ll keep it brief. In short, Su Mu, remember my words, Ye Jian is narrow-minded, repays every grievance. Though the Junlin Pavilion incident had nothing to do with you, he will surely hold a grudge against you. I clearly know you’re not ordinary, but you just stepped into a grandmaster, while Ye Jian already attained Titled Grandmaster; whatever happens later, don’t act impulsively. Even in martial duel, there’s no room for trickery."

"If he makes a move, I’ll stop him for you."

"Also, your act of topping the Sword Monument yesterday was too conspicuous, bound to attract many challenges. If you’re confident, you can make a move."

"But if you encounter those Japanese warriors, feel free to strike hard."

"If anything happens, I’ll bear the responsibility for you!"
