Immortality starts from the liver proficiency

Chapter 331 What to do after the Ninth Realm?
On the arena of the Seventy-Two Workshops, the once bustling arena has now fallen into an eerie silence.

Everyone's attention was drawn to the dark yellow pillar of light that pierced the sky.

Above the arena, where beams of light poured down, a figure could be vaguely seen sitting cross-legged in the void. The swirling Xuanhuang aura around him grew increasingly dense, like dragons and snakes coiling, condensing and not dissipating.

It was Xu Yunfan who was undergoing the Xuanhuang Cleansing and breaking through to the Ninth Realm!

Even more terrifying was that his true energy was rapidly manifesting, with the Ten Extremes True Energy surging like a river.

Buddhist Golden Marrow, Sword Pavilion Emptiness, Taoist Pure Yang, Xuanzhen Dragon Tiger... all sorts of schools of thought merged perfectly within him, transforming into an unprecedented and powerful force!
"True Qi, it's True Qi! Ninth Realm Qi Refining, Supreme Grandmaster! How could it be a Ninth Realm Qi Refining Supreme Grandmaster?"

Below the arena, experienced and knowledgeable senior martial artists gasped in shock, their voices trembling.

The Ninth Realm is the highest realm that countless martial artists dream of. Once you step into it, it means that you truly stand at the pinnacle of martial arts, enough to look down on the martial world and even influence the fate of a country!
Xu Yunfan, right before everyone's eyes, broke free of his shackles and became an unparalleled grandmaster!

"Does this guy have some kind of weird hobby, coming to this place to fight in a ring..."

"There must be details inside that we don't know. Maybe that yellow beam of light was obtained from the arena."

However, in the very next instant after his breakthrough.

Clang!
A piercing sound suddenly tore through the sky!
Deep within the capital city, in the direction of the Imperial City Guard, a jet-black spear, like a meteor piercing the sun, carrying overwhelming killing intent, hurtled straight towards Xu Yunfan!

Nine blood-red patterns lit up one after another on the gun barrel, accompanied by an intensely pure killing intent!

This shot was clearly intended to kill Xu Yunfan while he was breaking through!

"How dare you!!"

The spear flew through the air, accompanied by a furious roar that resounded through the sky and shook the heavens.

"How dare you be so insolent!"

A cold shout rang out, and Bi Sheng, the guardian who had been standing quietly watching the battle from the edge of the arena, suddenly looked up, his eyes flashing with a cold light.

Without moving, the rusty iron sword in his hand was suddenly drawn!

"Zheng!"

The sword rang out like a dragon, the rusty sword spitting out a three-inch sword light in the wind, the mottled rust on the sword body shining with strands of luster, vaguely revealing the sword body that was as dazzling as a galaxy beneath.

Although this sword has fallen in rank due to the passage of time, it was once an eighth-tier divine weapon. Now, in Bi Sheng's hands, its sharpness has finally been revealed!

"Boom!"

The sword light and the spear light collided in mid-air, and a terrifying force exploded. The stone slabs of the arena within a radius of a hundred feet shattered inch by inch, and the onlookers were all knocked back. Those with slightly weaker cultivation even coughed up blood and staggered to the ground.

"That old dog from the Imperial City Guard dares to interfere in the affairs of my Dao Sect?"

Bi Sheng sneered, and with a flick of his iron sword, the sword's momentum surged like a celestial river, heading straight for the source of the spear.

"Hmph! A seventh-tier divine weapon that has fallen in rank dares to stop me?"

From the direction of the Imperial City Guard, a cold voice rang out, and then a figure in black robes stepped through the air, raised his hand to recall the divine spear, and pointed the spear tip directly at Bi Sheng.

“Bi Sheng, you can’t protect him! He’s trying to steal the dragon vein energy of the Great Zhou. He’s doomed. Not only will he die, but your Dao Sect will also suffer.”

This is touching the very foundation of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and no one within the Great Zhou's constitution can tolerate it.

"Try?"

Bi Sheng grinned, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit. In the next instant, his iron sword flashed across the sky, its light like a rainbow, and he instantly engaged the black-robed man in battle.

Xu Yunfan glanced at Bi Sheng fighting with an old, nearly toothless expert from the Imperial City Guard not far away. Seeing that Bi Sheng was handling the situation with ease, he stopped paying attention.

The martial arts path in this world is divided into nine realms. The first eight realms are the mortal path of tempering the physical body, refining qi and blood, and opening up the meridians.

When a martial artist cultivates to this level, they can split mountains and shatter rocks, walk on waves, and even, like Dugu Jiu, extend their lifespan by hundreds of years through various secret martial arts and treasures, reaching a level that is unimaginable to ordinary people.

however.

The Nine Realms, however, are an insurmountable barrier.

Those who enter this realm will naturally generate true energy within their bodies, and with every move they make, they can draw upon the power of heaven and earth, truly transcending the mundane.

Strangely, from ancient times to the present, all the cultivation methods beyond the ninth realm have been wiped away as if by an invisible hand, leaving only fragmented legends.

Ancient texts record that some people broke through the nine realms of shackles, their true qi transformed into liquid, and condensed into a golden elixir, but there is not a single word about how to cultivate it.

Some inscriptions in the secret realm indicate that ancient powerful beings could use starlight to temper their bodies, but the method has long been lost.

Some even speculate that there may be an even wider world beyond the Nine Realms, but all those who have tried to explore it have either died mysteriously or vanished completely...

It's as if some unseen force deliberately blocked this path to heaven.

Now, Xu Yunfan is breaking through to the Ninth Realm with the posture of "All Laws Return to Flow". The Ten Extreme True Qi manifested around his body faintly touches that forbidden domain that has been sealed for a long time.

Bi Yuan went to great lengths to infuse his body with the dragon energy of the Great Zhou Dynasty, forging an unparalleled foundation for him. The ten extreme true qi he condensed was considered perfect.

Even if Dugu Jiu were standing in front of him, he could only admit that he was inferior.

However, there is no other way to cultivate true qi beyond continuously circulating it within the body and absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to strengthen it.

He looked up at Bi Sheng and the top expert from the Imperial City Guard. The clash between the two ninth-realm powerhouses sent shockwaves through the entire Jade Capital City!
Meanwhile, in the center of the arena, Xu Yunfan's breakthrough continued. Surrounded by the Ten Extremes True Qi, his aura continued to slowly rise under the continuous infusion of Xuanhuang Qi...

The most shocking character was Dugu Jiu, who was hiding in the shadows.

This peerless swordsman, who once dominated the imperial city with a single sword strike, was now questioning his life and his martial spirit was almost shaken.

"Ten Extremes Transformation? The martial arts I've been researching for nearly a hundred years have been so easily mastered by him..."

He couldn't help but look up at the Great Zhou Dragon Vein that had been forcibly extracted.

"Yes, yes, if it weren't for such a mysterious technique, how could a flawless Ninth Realm of Immaculateness be forcibly created..."

Dugu Jiu's eyes flickered, a hint of caution in her heart.

The Dao Sect has existed for a much longer time than the other five top sects of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

What else is hidden remains unknown.

Xu Yunfan slowly opened his eyes.

As the golden light flickered in his eyes, the suspended pebbles instantly vaporized.

He suddenly understood why Bi Yuan had asked him to come to the Seventy-Two Wards.

This seemingly simple arena is precisely the dragon's eye of the "Kan-Li Turning Dragon Formation" of the Yujing land vein!
Moreover, once triggered, even if the Great Zhou wanted to end the imperial examinations, it would be powerless. If it were forcibly interrupted, this already dying dragon would be completely crushed, and the Great Zhou would be in a state of utter irreversible decline.

The national tragedy is only a matter of time; without the continuous nourishment of the dragon's energy, that witch will not accept it.

As long as we continue to win and accumulate momentum, we will naturally be able to strip the Great Zhou Dragon Qi from that witch's hands.

Such a vicious act of obstructing someone's path sent a chill down Xu Yunfan's spine, even though he was the beneficiary.

(Sorry everyone, something came up today. I'll try my best tomorrow!!!)
