Becoming a Taoist Master by Walking on the Underworld

Chapter 362 Xu Qingyan has arrived, a True Person Realm cultivator?

When both sides are dealing with each other.

Everyone knew that another earth-shattering battle was about to unfold, and the two sides were top-tier experts in the Day Travel Realm.

They were all incredibly excited.

They were also aware of Sun Miao's reputation and strength, knowing that he was the personal disciple and chief disciple of the sect master of the Divine Fire Sect, a top sect in Daocheng County. His strength was extremely formidable, definitely at the top level among the cultivators in the Day Travel Realm of Daocheng County. Only two or three cultivators could rival him.

It can be said that he is one of the strongest individuals below the Soul Refining True Person Realm level.

On the other side was just an unknown kid with no reputation whatsoever.

The outcome was decided from the very beginning.

They also look forward to seeing a fight where the opponent is completely dominated.

After all, the winner and loser had nothing to do with them; many of them were just people who had paid money to buy tickets to watch the fight.

Such battles between cultivators at the Dao Entry Day Travel Realm level are rarely seen.

This time, it was definitely worth the ticket price.

They only hoped that the cultivator opposite them could hold out a little longer, so that they could witness more of Sun Miao's strength.

but--

They never expected the battle to end so quickly.

Moreover, the outcome of the match was beyond their expectations.

Sun Miao actually lost!
Moreover, he was defeated with just one sword strike.

He was severely injured, and even his natal heavy sword was shattered.

This is absolutely a stunning scene.

Xu Qingling looked at the young man opposite her in horror. She was the closest to him and knew better that her senior brother was seriously injured and his aura was scattered. He would need at least three to five months of recuperation to recover.

"Now, do I have the right to speak?"

Then, Chen Yushu spoke, his gaze turning icy as he looked at Sun Miao.

"Have!"

Sun Miao remained silent, feeling frustrated but forced to accept the fact that he had failed. Finally, he could only ask with difficulty, "May I ask your name, and who your teacher is?"

Sun Miao knew that he had lost.

But they also wanted to know who they had lost to.

At the very least, you should know where the other person's teacher is.

If the other party was a disciple of a top expert or a successor of a major sect, he could accept it and find some comfort in it.

After all, he knew that although Daocheng County was large and had many strong people, the world was so vast that there must be places that surpassed Daocheng County.

For example, the capital of the Wu Kingdom.

He had heard of several of the geniuses among them before.

He could accept losing to those people.

"My name is Chen Yushu."

As for mentorship?

There was no formal teacher or mentor.

If we're talking about lineage, it's just that I received some gifts from the Huangshan Patriarch in my early years, which allowed me to travel a little further.

Chen Yushu did not hide anything and said loudly.

"Huangshan Laozu?"

Could it be the opportunity hidden within the Huangshan Heritage Cliff?

Sun Miao was taken aback and asked in surprise.

Seeing Chen Yushu nod, he seemed relieved, yet also somewhat unwilling.

They breathed a sigh of relief because the Huangshan Ancestor was famous enough to be considered the most powerful figure to emerge hundreds of years ago. No one dared to say that his legacy was not top-notch.

However, everyone is well aware that Huangshan Laozu disappeared hundreds of years ago, leaving behind only a legacy at the place where he attained enlightenment.

Almost every thirty years, a group of cultivators will attain enlightenment because of the other party.

For example, Bai Gui Dao Ren, one of the Seven True Men of Wu Kingdom, who is now in Daocheng County, is a cultivator who started his cultivation from the inheritance cliff of Huangshan Patriarch 120 years ago.

But he also knew that while the master could guide him through the door, the rest was up to him to cultivate himself.

In the eyes of orthodox cultivators, a cultivator like Chen Yushu who unexpectedly obtained a lineage is essentially considered to be without a master and is a rogue cultivator.

The key point is that what Chen Yushu just used was not a method passed down from the Huangshan Ancestor.

It is the art of flying swords.

This particularly shocked and frustrated him.

"Alright, the arena battle should be over now."

Fellow Daoist, it's time to make an announcement.

My sister Qiao'er's reward, that treasure, should be returned.

Then, Chen Yushu ignored Sun Miao and turned his gaze to the organizer who had spoken first on the arena.

This person was Liang Yu, one of the organizers of the Wind and Fire Arena.

It is also at the level of the Day of Entering the Path.

Upon hearing this, he nodded, stepped forward, and said, "Everyone."

I'm sure everyone found today's battle very exciting and satisfying.

Especially the fight between Fellow Daoist Sun Miao and Fellow Daoist Chen Yushu later on.

Although the process was short, it was even more exciting than Liu Qiao'er and Xu Qingling.

Even I, an old man, gained a great deal from their application of swordsmanship and the laws of heaven and earth.

Everyone should feel that the trip was worthwhile and that the ticket price was reasonable.

"Hahaha……"

"It's worth it, absolutely worth it!"

"Unfortunately, it all happened too fast. The battle was over in the time it took me to turn my head."

……

Cheers erupted from the crowd.

Especially after hearing the last sentence, Sun Miao's face darkened.

This time, he really lost face.

But you can't just turn your back and leave.

After all, he was also one of the referees for this arena battle, so he could only keep a dark face and exchange a few words with the other two referees to determine the winner.

In fact, the result is already quite obvious.

However, the necessary procedures are still indispensable.

Then Liang Yu came out again and said loudly, "Everyone, the results of today's competition are in."

I think everyone should already understand.

I hereby declare that the victor is Liu…

But his words suddenly stopped at that moment, and his gaze instantly fell on the figure rushing towards him in the distance.

Not only him, but other cultivators with keen spiritual senses and those with cultivation levels above the Dao Realm all immediately turned their gazes in that direction.

Then a cultivator with gray hair and wearing an ordinary Taoist robe flew over at an astonishing speed.

At first, it was still very far away.

Then, in the blink of an eye, they appeared above the arena, and upon closer inspection, they were already on the arena.

"That speed, that aura."

Real people?

The entire stands erupted in noise.

Without flying on a sword or any magical artifacts, yet able to fly and soar in the void—if not a real person, then what is he?
"Who is this powerful expert?"

“There are only a handful of True Immortal experts in the entire Daocheng County right now. But no matter who they are, none of them match the one in front of us.”

"Xu Qingyan, he is Xu Qingyan!"

As the group was discussing, someone suddenly exclaimed in surprise, followed by a cacophony of voices.

Is Xu Qingyan a true powerhouse?
That one, the top expert of Daocheng County, a super genius who reached the pinnacle of the Sun Travel Realm three years ago.
He broke through to the Soul Refining Realm?
"Big brother!"

Xu Qingling, who had been feeling down and silently healing her injuries on the stage, suddenly let out a joyful shout.

Upon hearing this, everyone felt reassured.

The person who arrived was none other than Xu Qingyan.

That super genius from Daocheng County.

Moreover, he had already broken through from the Dao Entry Realm to the Soul Refining Realm, truly becoming a True Person powerhouse.

It's a real person.

There aren't many in the entire Wu Kingdom.

On the surface, they are the Seven True Ones of the Martial Kingdom.

In addition, there are one or two sects and top-tier forces.

All in all, there are only about twenty or thirty.

Now, there's one more.

Xu Qingyan.

The key point is that he is still incredibly young, only thirty-five years old.

Moreover, it is well known that he did not start practicing martial arts at the beginning. Before the age of twenty, he was studying poetry and books. It was not until he passed the imperial examination that he came into contact with martial arts. He practiced until the age of twenty-eight, when he mastered martial arts and began to challenge famous martial arts masters. His reputation resounded throughout the martial arts world.

It wasn't until he was thirty that he truly began practicing the Yin-Yang path, starting a dual cultivation of Taoism and martial arts.

He is only thirty-five years old now.

In other words, he only actually spent five years cultivating in the path of Yin-Yang practice.

In five years, he went from a mere incense-burning cultivator to the Soul Refining True Person realm.

Such speed and leaps truly live up to his reputation as a super genius.

The appearance of the other party at this moment was indeed incredibly shocking.

That's absolutely brilliant!

"Qingling, what's going on?"

As soon as Xu Qingyan entered the arena, she saw her younger sister injured from afar. Her expression changed, and she rushed to her side. She leaned against him, and her mind quickly relaxed.

Cultivators who have entered the Dao possess resilient physical bodies and extremely powerful spiritual energy; even if their vital organs are injured, they will not die easily.

She was only pierced in the chest, not her heart, so she was fine. The real problem was the sharp, destructive aura of Liu Qiao'er's sword when it pierced her.

After taking the pills to regulate his body, the condition had already been suppressed, and with his control, it was quickly expelled.

"Is he Xu Qingyan?"

Chen Yushu also paid attention to this person.

The other party can indeed be described as the most talented and outstanding cultivator in Daocheng County.

His cultivation speed, in particular, reminded him of the Old Ancestor of Huangshan.

According to his previous conversation with the Old Ancestor of Huangshan, the other party's cultivation speed was also extremely fast, comparable to Xu Qingyan's.

Comparing the two, Chen Yushu was quite clear that Xu Qingyan was probably like the Old Ancestor of Huangshan, with an extremely high spiritual realm.

Perhaps it has already reached a constant level.

The stages of meditative absorption: shallow meditative absorption, minor meditative absorption, major meditative absorption, constant meditative absorption, and sitting in oblivion...

Entering a state of constant stillness.

For countless cultivators, this is already a realm they have always dreamed of.

Many cultivators who have entered the Dao realm are actually only at the Great Stability level. Those who can reach the Constant Stability level can already be called top geniuses. For example, most of the cultivators above the Day Travel realm are at the Constant Stability level.

Only by reaching this level can one cultivate to the highest level within the Sun Travel Realm and qualify to attempt to reach the Soul Refining Realm True Person level.

As for constant?

Many Soul Refining Realm experts may not be able to achieve this.

As is widely known, entering a meditative state is a much more difficult hurdle to overcome than even the cultivation state.

Without the support of a corresponding level of meditative absorption, even a cultivator with exceptional talent will require an enormous amount of time to improve their cultivation.

Xu Qingyan was able to break through to the Soul Refining Realm True Person level in just five years, so his meditative state must be constant.

He had already reached this level of meditative absorption five years ago.

This is the reason why he was so exceptionally talented and why his cultivation speed skyrocketed.

Of course, his own cultivation aptitude must also be excellent. The combination of these two factors is what makes his cultivation speed so astonishing.

"It should be. He started his secluded cultivation three years ago, and no one has seen him since. I only joined the Ghost Spirit Sect a year ago, and I haven't seen him either."

But I have indeed heard quite a few stories about him.

Liu Qiao'er, standing to the side, nodded, but couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

A True Immortal Realm expert.

The key point is that she just injured the other party's sister. Even if she injured the other party in a ring match, there is no guarantee that the other party will protect their own and deliberately make things difficult for her.

She herself was alright; at worst, she would just die.

But Chen Yushu was by her side.

She would rather be hurt herself than let Chen Yushu get injured.

"rest assured!"

Chen Yushu patted Liu Qiao'er on the shoulder.

A Soul Refining True Person Realm expert is indeed awe-inspiring. He is currently only at the Dao Entry Sun Tour Realm, one realm below the opponent.

But the limits of one's realm are always limited to ordinary people.

He, on the other hand, has already gained momentum. Not only has he entered a higher state of meditation than his opponent, reaching the true level of the "Sitting in Oblivion" realm, but he has also mastered many supernatural abilities.

It's not that they lack the strength to fight them.

He was even somewhat eager to try.

With her older brother's support, Xu Qingling felt relieved. Knowing that her brother loved her dearly, she quickly embellished the story of the previous battle, saying, "Brother, if it weren't for Senior Brother Sun Miao's intervention, I would have died at their hands."

Xu Qingyan frowned.

A sharp glint flashed in his calm eyes.

His family was actually of ordinary means. His parents worked hard to support his education, and he always lived up to their expectations, studying very hard and consistently achieving top grades.

But when he was fifteen, an accident killed both his parents in the wild, leaving him and his siblings to live alone. At that time, Xu Qingling was only five years old.

Therefore, he always doted on his younger sister and couldn't bear to see her suffer even the slightest harm.

This time, he was not only seriously injured, but his life was also in danger, which immediately aroused a strong killing intent in his heart.

"Fellow Daoist Sun."

Xu Qingyan looked at Sun Miao beside her and said, "I only have this one sister. Thank you. I, Xu Qingyan, will remember this."

"Xu Dao... Senior Xu, you're too kind."

As Xu Qingling's senior brother, it is only right that I intervene.

It's just a pity that my skills are inferior to others; I feel somewhat ashamed.

Sun Miao quickly shook his head, then lowered his head in shame.

Today's blow to him was indeed quite significant.

First, a person suddenly appeared, who also looked very young. He easily defeated him with a single sword strike, shattering his natal magic weapon and leaving him severely injured.

Then, the formidable rival he once thought he was was reappeared, but he directly displayed the strength of a Soul Refining True Person, leaving him far behind.

This made him somewhat disheartened.

I began to have deep doubts about myself.
