Zhu Tian: Starting from the Laughing Proud Yue Buqun

Chapter 126 The road ahead is blocked, but there is still a way out.

A month has passed since Xu Qing broke through to the Innate Grandmaster realm.

Throughout the month, Xu Qing meticulously comprehended the wondrous uses of this innate true energy. Its power was extraordinary, and its nourishing effect on the body was incredibly profound.

If he were to fully unleash his innate true energy throughout his body, Xu Qing estimated that his physical strength would undergo a faster transformation and enhancement.

However, the seed of innate true energy will also be damaged as a result, which is somewhat counterproductive.

Therefore, Xu Qing gave up on the idea.

As the month passed, although his innate true qi seed did not change much, it had become much more stable.

On this day, Feng Qingyang descended the Cliff of Contemplation once again to find Xu Qing.

"Master, what's this?"

Xu Qing saw that Feng Qingyang was carrying a small bag and seemed to be preparing to leave.

"I am preparing to descend the mountain to find a place rich in spiritual energy to complete my internal organ refining cultivation, in order to prepare for condensing the seed of innate true qi."

Feng Qingyang said.

After witnessing the power of Xu Qing's innate true qi, Feng Qingyang yearned even more for the power of the innate grandmaster realm.

After ten years of hard work, the organ refinement is about to be completed. The next step is to find a place with abundant spiritual energy, suitable for breakthrough, so that I can catch up with Xu Qing's progress.

Upon hearing this, Xu Qing smiled slightly and said, "It seems that Martial Uncle is already quite confident."

"Hehe, with your experience as a precedent, I am naturally confident as well." Feng Qingyang said with a smile.

"Very well, since Martial Uncle is so confident, then I congratulate Martial Uncle in advance on breaking through to the Innate Grandmaster realm!"

Xu Qing smiled and cupped his hands in greeting. Feng Qingyang becoming the second grandmaster in the world was naturally a great boost to the Huashan Sect.

At the same time, Ning Zhongze will be able to receive more support in the future.

"Does Martial Uncle need my help?" Xu Qing asked, a thought stirring in his mind.

Feng Qingyang waved his hand, beaming with confidence, and said, "There's no need for that. I will definitely break through smoothly."

Xu Qing nodded, understanding that the other party was not just being boastful, but genuinely confident that he could successfully become a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm.

Seeing this, he didn't say anything more, but told Ning Zhongze about it, and together they saw Feng Qingyang off.

Watching Feng Qingyang descend the mountain, Xu Qing smiled faintly: "I suppose it won't be long before my uncle returns with the strength of a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm."

“Yes, with Uncle Feng’s background, this hurdle won’t be difficult for him.” Ning Zhongze agreed wholeheartedly.

However, it wasn't so easy for her.

Now her senior brother has broken through to the Innate Grandmaster level, while she has only just grasped the unity of heaven and man, and her understanding of the power of heaven and earth is not yet sufficient. She has only just begun to refine her internal organs in the tempering of her physique.

The distance between her and her senior brother grew ever wider.

Thinking of these things, Ning Zhongze couldn't help but show a worried expression on his face.

Xu Qing took Ning Zhongze's hand and naturally noticed the change in his beautiful junior sister's emotions.

"Don't worry, junior sister, I will do everything I can to help you become a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm."

Ning Zhongze felt a warmth in her heart, but she couldn't help but worry about Xu Qing. She was somewhat conflicted and asked, "Won't this delay Senior Brother's cultivation?"

Xu Qing shook his head: "Junior sister, you don't need to worry about this. Once you reach the Innate Grandmaster realm, it will be extremely difficult to make any further progress."

It's not at all a matter of hindering cultivation.

These words startled Ning Zhongze, her face paled, and her red lips trembled slightly: "Could it be that Senior Brother's breakthrough has been damaged?!"

“That’s not the case,” Xu Qing shook his head.

This did not cause Ning Zhongze excessive worry, and she continued, "This is the limit of heaven and earth."

"The limits of heaven and earth?" Ning Zhongze asked, puzzled.

"The limit of heaven and earth is the Innate Grandmaster; there is no possibility of taking another step forward." Xu Qing gazed at the sky, his eyes deep.

"Could this be because of the inspiration?" Ning Zhongze's eyes flickered, as if she had remembered something, and she looked at Xu Qing and asked.

"Indeed, the spiritual energy is becoming increasingly scarce, which signifies the decline of heaven and earth."

Xu Qing nodded slightly and continued, "Perhaps in another hundred years, even the possibility of becoming a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm will completely disappear in this world."

As heaven and earth gradually decline, spiritual energy becomes increasingly scarce until it disappears completely. This is not mere speculation, but a prediction.

It should be noted that in Xu Qing's previous life, the so-called spiritual energy no longer existed.

According to the records of our ancestors, the world we lived in in our previous life may have also been filled with spiritual energy in an earlier period.

However, in the technological age, inspiration has completely vanished.

That world has also come to an end.

In the world of Swordsman, the trajectory of his future life will likely not differ much from that of his previous life.

"Wouldn't that mean our path forward is cut off?"

Ning Zhong was surprised, but at the same time, he understood what was going to happen.

Reaching the level of a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm is the limit; there is no way to improve further.

This means our path forward is blocked.

“Indeed, in this world, the road ahead is indeed blocked, but it is not entirely without a way out.” Xu Qing stroked the beautiful woman’s hand, looking relaxed.

"Senior brother, have you found a new path?" Ning Zhongze asked, her beautiful face filled with surprise.

The road ahead is blocked; where else can we find a way?
But my senior brother said that it wasn't a dead end, so could we open up a new path?
Xu Qing smiled and said, "Junior sister, since the path forward in this world is blocked, why be trapped in this realm?"

"Simply shatter the void and journey to a higher world to continue your path."

"Shattering the void and ascending to the upper realm?!"

Ning Zhongze felt that the information revealed by this sentence was too shocking.

"The Upper Realm is the legendary Immortal Realm?! Could it be that Senior Brother is truly a reincarnation of an immortal from the Immortal Realm?!" Ning Zhongze exclaimed in astonishment.

She had never thought of this idea before; she found it too astonishing and unbelievable.

But judging from Xu Qing's calm expression, what he said must be true.

This made her increasingly believe that her senior brother was indeed a reincarnated immortal, just as the rumors in the martial arts world said.

"I don't know if the upper realm is the celestial realm, and I am not a celestial being either."

But one thing is certain: breaking through the void will allow one to travel to the upper realm and pursue the path to immortality.

Xu Qing spoke with certainty. Ever since he was able to shatter the void, he had been unconsciously drawn by a stream of energy.

Upon careful consideration, he deduced that it must be the attraction of the upper realm to martial artists in this realm who had reached the level of breaking through the void.

He even had a suspicion.

The founder of Wudang, Master Zhang, might have chosen to ascend and leave this world after becoming a being at the level of breaking through the void.

Otherwise, given Zhang Zhenren's cultivation level, it would have been impossible for him to have lived for only a little over two hundred years before passing away.

It should be noted that with Xu Qing's current cultivation level, his lifespan is a full two hundred and eighty years.

This is partly due to his physical body and internal energy both achieving the status of a grandmaster.

But the spiritual energy of the world hundreds of years ago was definitely much stronger than it is today.

The ultimate master is by no means the limit.

With Zhang Zhenren's talent and comprehension, he would surely have been able to reach the limits of the world at that time and achieve a realm above the Innate Grandmaster.

At that level, one's lifespan must be much longer; it's impossible for one to only live for a little over two hundred years.

Moreover, the world's understanding of Zhang Zhenren's passing is all speculation.

No one has actually confirmed the fact that Master Zhang passed away.

With Xu Qing's current level of cultivation, he is able to sense the pull of the upper realm.

I imagine Master Zhang must feel the same way.

Therefore, Xu Qing became even more certain that Zhang Zhenren had broken through the void and left this world!
