Chapter 673 No Progress Made
Exhaling a breath of stale air, Li Dachui slowly opened his eyes.

The internal injuries caused by the previous series of extreme attacks have basically healed.

However, Li Dachui also realized through this action that his martial arts cultivation had truly reached a limit. No matter if it was the pills jointly refined by Fu Qingzhu and Yiming Laodao or his own diligent practice, he could not increase his true strength cultivation by even the slightest bit.

For every part refined, a part will dissipate into the world.

After absorbing all of Jiang Qian's profound Phoenix Fire cultivation and being completely transformed by the Qi of Heaven and Earth, he no longer had any space in his dantian or meridians to hold any more true energy.

The main gate in front remained tightly closed and had not been pushed open.

Innate is still innate.

There is no fundamental difference from before.

This is why, when he fought against Linghu Ye and his gang, he had to go to great lengths to set up a trap, and once he succeeded, he had to flee for his life immediately.

If we get surrounded by those guys, it would be a huge risk.

No matter how strong I am, I can't possibly defeat the combined attack of four innate masters.

Having come at great risk, aside from dealing with the Cui family, the other gains were not significant.

Instead, it revealed their true intentions.
The fact that I cultivated the Qi of Heaven and Earth will probably become widely known soon, making it much harder to scheme against others.

Dancing on the edge of a knife, pushing limits to achieve breakthroughs, might have worked for my past self, but it's clear that it has absolutely no effect on the transition from innate to divine travel.

Not to mention the idea that quantitative change leads to qualitative change.

Jiang Qian once told her that she had pushed open the door to the Divine Wandering Realm a crack and secretly peeked at the scenery inside. It was because of this that she had followed Li Dachui to Cloud Mist Mountain without hesitation. Whenever Li Dachui approached her, Phoenix Fire would become extremely happy and lively, as if she could push open that door at any moment.

Whenever this matter is mentioned, Jiang Qian feels extremely resentful. If it weren't for this, how could she have been drained dry by Li Dachui? The liveliness of Phoenix Fire wasn't actually about reaching a higher level, but rather the child's fondness for its mother after meeting her.

Jiang Qian would no longer hide anything from Li Dachui, but Li Dachui was still completely baffled by the feelings she described.

This frustrated Li Dachui. To be honest, Jiang Qian was the real genius in martial arts.

They didn't use any cheats; they started from scratch and reached the peak of the ninth rank in just over twenty years. I, on the other hand, was blessed by my mother from birth and had the great cheat code of Qiankun Qi. Yet, even so, I still got stuck at this last step.

Jiang Qian is making rapid progress in her cultivation, while if he doesn't make any progress, Jiang Qian might overtake him again at any time. If that happens, he'll probably lose his authority as a husband.

Jiang Qian is no weak or delicate woman.

She was a very controlling woman.

Moreover, he is completely different from Xiao Changche.

The Innate Realm allows one to utilize every bit of true energy within their body to its fullest potential, without wasting a single bit.

Upon reaching the realm of divine travel, one is no longer limited to the cultivation of true qi within the body, but can instead draw upon the power of heaven and earth for one's own use.

This is why Kou Zhong and his group chose to kill He Qingqiu just before she was about to give birth. During that time, He Qingqiu had fallen back to the Innate Realm. If she were still in the Divine Wandering Realm, even if Kou Zhong and his group had several more Innate Realm experts, they wouldn't be a match for her.

Even so, He Qingqiu still killed three people and seriously injured one.

Those who have witnessed the raging waves of the ocean, even when they return to a pond, may no longer possess the ocean's power, but they still retain the ability to create waves.

I can only grope my way forward in the dark.

In truth, once you advance to the Innate Realm, there's little point in drawing lessons from others' experiences. Everyone's path to advancement is completely different, truly bizarre and varied. Take myself, for example—I advanced to the Innate Realm after sleeping with Xiao Changche.

Chang Jian suddenly had an epiphany after being ambushed and beaten up by himself, Xiao Changche, and Li Kaixin on the road.

As for Linghu Ye, after being outmaneuvered by himself, he sat alone atop the ancient castle, heartbroken and frustrated, when he suddenly advanced to the Innate Realm.

Ultimately, at this level, advancement is more about enlightenment than the accumulation of power. The Innate Realm is relatively easier, while the Divine Travel Realm is much more difficult because the peak of the Innate Realm is almost the highest that a person can reach.

The higher you go, the more difficult it becomes.

Getting from the thousandth place to the top one hundred is not a difficult task.

However, the difficulty of moving from the 100th to the top 100 would likely increase exponentially.

When you're already in first place, moving up any further becomes incredibly difficult.

Li Dachui felt that this was exactly his current situation.

Once I understood all of this, I felt relieved.

No matter what, I should be the best in the world.

One-on-one, no one can beat me.

If it really comes down to who has more advantages from the start,

I'm afraid I'll still be number one.

This time, Linghu Ye's attack on him was, to put it bluntly, because he had his own agenda, so he walked right into the trap.

Now that this path is blocked, we can't expect to encounter the same thing again.

Suddenly sensing something, he stood up and looked ahead. In his field of vision, a figure, like a bullet, moved in an odd way and at an odd speed, heading straight towards him.

Lu Xin from Fanyang!

It’s you who’s waiting!
Li Dachui chuckled.

Lu Xin, who was on his way, suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, and he abruptly stopped.

Look up and look ahead.

The next moment, he saw Li Dachui.

"Why did you choose me? Shouldn't you have gone to intercept Linghuye?" Lu Xin asked, puzzled.

"Fifty miles away, Linghu Ye's personal guard has over a hundred men to meet him!" Li Dachui explained patiently, "I know his personal guard very well. With Linghu Ye and these hundred-plus men, they can beat me to a pulp!"

"The Cui family of Boling must be a better target than me, right?"

"The Cui family of Boling is powerful and wealthy, and their entourage is even more luxurious than Linghu Ye's. I plan to teach you a lesson first, and then deal with them slowly!" Li Dachui laughed. "So, you surnamed Lu, your family was also involved in the Chang'an affair in your early years!"

Lu Xin snorted and glared at her, saying, "Li Dachui, my father did participate in the ambush and killing of your mother, but he died on the spot, his body was completely destroyed, and your mother burned him to ashes! What else do you want, to wipe out the Lu family of Fanyang?"

"Whether or not we destroy your Lu family of Fanyang is another matter, but right now I can't vent my anger without giving you a good beating!" Li Dachui leaped up and swung the cannonball at his head!
