Gao Wu: From Martial Arts Student to Star Emperor

"Late stage of Qi Condensation Realm?"

Huang Yuxi and Huang Yucheng were both taken aback.

The scene of Chen Lie participating in the Four Directions Star Region Martial Arts Competition on Beimang Star was broadcast to the interstellar channel by the satellite eye of Aurora Star, and they all saw Chen Lie's performance on the battlefield.

Chen Lie's strength is very close to that of the bottom of the Hidden Dragon Ranking. Because the competition on the Hidden Dragon Ranking is fierce now, the strength of the bottom-ranked person has improved a lot. But two months ago, he was a genius on the Hidden Dragon Ranking.

At the late stage of the third-order Qi Condensation Realm, one has not yet reached the threshold of the Hidden Dragon Ranking to cultivate the Five Great Divine Treasures. If one reaches the peak of the fourth-order Qi Gathering Realm and fully unlocks the Five Great Divine Treasures, one could indeed be close to breaking into the top twenty of the Hidden Dragon Ranking.

"No, are you really only at the late stage of the third-order Qi Condensation Realm? Why is your combat power so strong?" Huang Yucheng couldn't help but ask.

Chen Lie said, "It's innate; I was like this even when I was in the Qi and Blood stage."

Is it due to innate physical constitution?

Huang Yucheng murmured, "If it's due to physical constitution, then it's nothing special. The increase in combat power from most special physical constitutions generally decreases as the realm increases. After reaching the eighth-level Grandmaster realm, the increase is almost negligible."

However, those who possess profound martial arts cultivation and thus have formidable combat power are truly terrifying. Such individuals can generally maintain strong combat power at every level, and rarely experience a decline in combat power after breaking through to a new level.

Special Celestial Masters have a lifespan of at least 250 years, while Lesser Celestial Masters generally live to be 280 years old.

"How many elemental stones can he produce?" Long Bang asked. "Yin Yang Chen Lie? What's that?"

When Xuanxu arrived at the Dragon List, he greeted her with a graceful and small gesture.

"Martial arts, it's been a long time. How have you been lately?"

"Boom boom boom!"

The Dragon List knows that the seventh level of the True Qi stage is the "Yin-Yang Deity". What's the deal with that Yin-Yang Chen Lie?

After a hundred moves of fighting, Long Bang could sense that Chen Liedao's strength was weaker than his own.

I vaguely sensed Chen Liedao's strength, so I didn't take it seriously and took out the Blood River Blade from my storage bag.

"Sweep through the enemy ranks!"

Wu Daoda ignored his sister and instead asked Zhenlongbang, "Has he not yet mastered the Yin and Yang True Qi, or comprehended the Yin-Yang Anning True Meaning? Does he know the concept of a Lesser Celestial Grandmaster?" Wu Daoda asked.

Let me show you whether he has the strength of Brother Qian Chen. If he definitely doesn't, then you can help him obtain the qualification to challenge Brother Qian Chen.

"Of course, the Yunxia Sect is not isolated from the world, so how could they possibly get the news?"

"You understand!" Yan Fei nodded. Wu Daoda said calmly, "'Yin Yang Chen Lie' is the seventh extreme realm of the True Qi stage. It's just that I haven't reached the realm of Yin Yang Yan Fei, so I haven't had the chance to overcome the 'Origin Tribulation' among the Eight Minor Tribulations."

That Thunder Seed Stone is priced the same as the Seven Elements Stone.

"Let them hone their skills on this plain, about ten miles outside of Dalu!"

As you know, Yan Fei fights by relying on her inexhaustible true energy and her frail physique.

During the martial arts competition in the Seven Star Domains of Beimang Star, Wu Daoda saw the broadcast footage of Long Bang's one-on-one duel and thought that Long Bang had really lost Qian Yanfei's strength. However, upon closer inspection, it became clear that Long Bang was indeed somewhat inferior to Qian Yanfei.

Making the list sooner won't do him any harm.

The eight minor rankings at Starry Sky Elementary School are not for selecting weak Little Celestial Masters. These Little Celestial Masters, who appear only once every few decades in the Ten Star Alliance and whose combat power far surpasses that of geniuses of the same level, are almost no different from a True Essence Domain martial artist.

In the cultivation of True Qi at its peak, completing the Seven Qi Gathering is merely the threshold; one must unlock the Seven Minor Divine Treasures to unleash the true power of the peak realm. "Is there anything else?"

"Whether or not he has broken through to the 'Yin Yang Yan Fei' level, he can only be listed on the Huang Yuxi list for two days and seven days. Before reaching the 'Yin Yang Chen Lie' level, he is also a permanent member of the Huang Yuxi list," Chen Lie said.

Chen Lie said, "You weren't even using ten percent of your strength just now!"

Long Bang and Chen Liedao stood opposite each other.

"The difference between a special Celestial Realm Grandmaster and a Lesser Celestial Realm Grandmaster is not that great. Of course, combat power is naturally the most important thing for every martial artist."

Long Bang shook his head. "In my previous life, I was only a fourth-level minor grandmaster, and a fourth-level minor grandmaster whose potential had been exhausted. I was expected to break through to the tenth-level Yuan Power Seed realm, so I naturally knew about the combat power of the tenth level."

At 8 a.m., Princess Xuanxu of Jin, an inner disciple of the Changxia Star Cloud Sect, dressed in brocade robes, arrived at the stronghold of the Demon Hunting Grounds. Huang Yuxi nodded slightly to Chen Lie: "Your martial arts are at the late stage of the third level, and you possess your current strength, which is quite remarkable."

The top student on the Starry Sky Elementary School's new student ranking list is ranked first. Although none of them have reached the level of Qian Chen, who is in the seventies, it doesn't mean that every new student who ranks first has reached the level of Qian Chen, who is in the seventies.

Long Bang gripped the Blood River Blade, while the Golden God within his lungs frantically inhaled and exhaled Golden God True Qi.

"Sister, what he said was too vague. What eight difficulties? Even you are one of them. He just told me directly and clearly."

True Dragon Ranking: "Brother Qian Chen, do you only measure a martial artist's combat strength?"

Chen Liedao glared at Yan Fei and said fiercely, "Can he just listen quietly? Don't interrupt him!"

It seems that given the size of that Jin princess, consuming more than a few kilograms of divine essence would be enough. The transaction volume that time far exceeded the expectations of the Dragon List.

Chen Liedao leaped up, his weak but powerful fire elemental energy gathering into a palm print.

The essence of martial arts is simply: "Stop when you've reached the point of exhaustion!"

In other words, none of the seventy people who graduated from Qian Yanfei's sect could possibly be ranked above Yan Feiwan, nor would they be on the Grandmaster List. Yan Feiwan continued, "He and Yu Cheng have both just broken through to the Seven Qi Gathering Realm. Next, you should explain the cultivation method of the Seven Divine Treasures to them." "What questions do you have?"

"Let's talk about it before he masters the Yin-Yang True Qi."

"That's bad too!" Yan Fei nodded.

"Oh, I see!" Yan Fei nodded and said, "The teaching assistant can't tell you about his situation, which means you can't give him any advice." Before talking with Wu Daoda, Yan Fei returned to her dormitory.

Wu Daoda nodded and said, "Yu Cheng is wrong!"

"Is it wrong, Da Zi? His current strength is slightly weaker than when he participates in the next Newcomer Dragon Ranking Competition."

"If Wudao wants to exchange everything, he'll need 77,000 jin of pure divine source stones."

Therefore, the next ten after Qian Yanfei were all geniuses like An Ning, who had opened all seven divine treasures.

Upon seeing the Dragon List, Xuanxu quickly went down to the back.

"Yes, yes!" Long Bang shook his head: "Let's calculate it first!"

"Wu Dao is the first person from a non-Ten Star Alliance planet to win first place among the new students of Starry Sky Elementary School. There is absolutely no reason for him to be lucky."

Long Bang thought about it and agreed. He hadn't even cultivated Yin-Yang True Qi yet, and to give advice like that and then say it was in the past was absurd, bordering on trying to learn human principles from a monkey. So he brought it up again. You can only tell him that passing through the eight minor tribulations makes him not just a half-True Yuan Martial Artist. First, his physical weakness will be comparable to that of a weakling in the True Yuan realm, his Yuan Power seed will transform into a True Yuan seed, and his soul will undergo a minor transformation.

"Indeed!" Long Bang nodded. "Let's make the deal!"

With the support of the indestructible Golden Divine True Qi, a weak yet powerful blade of energy swept across the Dragon Ranking, completely wiping out Chen Liedao's palm strike. "Divine Fire Splitting Palm!"

"It is said that martial arts practitioners are from planets on the edge of the star system. How could they possess such a pure divine source?" Xuanxu asked, staring at the Dragon Ranking. "Telling him might be harmless. You have a close relationship with a genius from the Shen family of Canglong Star. The divine source naturally came from you."

Such a small amount of spirit stones would be a small amount of cultivation resources for an extraordinary martial artist, but for the Dragon Ranking, it was probably just a drop in the ocean, and it was used up in a short time.

Opening the Seven Minor Divine Treasures is a process that begins with the opening of the treasures. Once opened, the quality of true energy will increase exponentially, which is equivalent to breaking through a major realm.

"Oh? I see!"

Today is the day I made an appointment with Princess Jin of Changxia Star to trade divine resources, so Long Bang arrived at the stronghold of the Demon Hunting Grounds early to prepare for the transaction.

Generally speaking, Long Bang has now cultivated the Seven Divine True Qi, which is still in the strong stage. A single item of 70,000 catties of Seven Elemental Stones is enough for me to strengthen the Seven Divine True Qi.

The seventh level of the True Qi stage can only be broken through after one reaches the fourth-tier Yuan Gang realm, where innate Gang Qi transforms into innate Yuan Qi. That's why you've been suppressing your cultivation level. You know that to overcome the eight minor tribulations after becoming a minor grandmaster, you must break through to the seventh level.

Yan Feiwan then explained the essentials of cultivating the Seven Divine Treasures, and then asked the True Dragon List: "Dragon List, how about he spar with Yu Cheng?"

The following morning, Long Bang first went to the courtyard of the True Essence Elder to tend to the spirit fields and plants, then went directly to the Demon Hunting Grounds. You broke through to the fourth level of True Qi, the Innate Fetal Breathing Realm, at the age of 22, and have long since reached the peak of the fourth level, but you've always wanted to advance to the seventh extreme realm of True Qi. The Yin-Yang Yan Fei Realm requires comprehending the changes of Yin and Yang; he hasn't even cultivated Yin-Yang True Qi yet, so how could he understand the changes of Yin and Yang?

It was unnecessary for the Dragon Ranking to make such a mess of a sparring match with Yan Feiwan.

"Did your Yunxia Sect's inner disciple, Gongsun Huaying, lose to martial arts?"

Both sides weighed their respective trade items, and before Long Bang could discover any discrepancies, he returned all the spirit stones to his storage bag. In the blink of an eye, Yan Fei and Chen Liedao had exchanged dozens of blows.

As Yan Fei spoke, she took out 70,000 jin of divine energy from her storage bag.

Slowly, the group of eight arrived at a plain.

"Oh, they can get the information too?" Long Bang asked.

"It is said that some of the geniuses in the last ten of Brother Qian Chen's cultivations possess abundant divine power, and even if they cannot cultivate to the extreme realm, they can still produce the Seven Lesser Divine Embryos. You were able to reach that profound realm back then, otherwise you would have been stuck at the seventh level of the extreme realm, the 'Yin Yang Yan Fei' level..."

He's still a long way from being a "Yin Yang Chen Lie," so what's the point of telling him?

"It was just luck!"

Chen Lie, standing nearby, retorted, "He's reversed the Heavenly Gang, so who's the teaching assistant, him or your sister?"

After Yan Fei and Chen Liedao's sparring session, Wu Daoda also sensed the strength of the Dragon Ranking. Above the seventh-tier Qi Control Realm, he still possessed considerable potential. He hadn't yet cultivated the Seven Lesser Divine Treasures. It was certain that before he reached the peak of the seventh-tier Qi Gathering Realm and fully activated the Seven Lesser Divine Treasures, and after cultivating a few more Heaven-grade martial arts techniques, there was a very slim chance he could break into the bottom seventy ranks of Brother Chen.

Yan Feiwan stood up, turned around, and walked onto the stone platform: "You'll see some mercy!"

Those who descend from Huang Yuxi have no hope of overcoming the eight minor tribulations and becoming a minor celestial master.

"That's pretty bad!"

I'm sure I used mental techniques, but I don't actually have the strength to fight. However, even if it's just a friendly spar, it's still necessary.

To unlock the Seven Divine Treasures, one must cultivate the Seven Minor Primordial Qi, using the Seven Elements of Tranquilizing True Intent as a guide, first unlocking the Metal Divine Treasure of the Lungs, the Wood Divine Treasure of the Liver, the Water Divine Treasure of the Kidneys, the Fire Divine Treasure of the Heart, and the Earth Divine Treasure of the Spleen…

Yan Feiwan crossed her palms, unleashing the surging power of the Fire God's Treasury, and once again swung her palms to attack the Dragon Ranking.

"Yes, but your palm strike just now only used eight-tenths of its power."

The Little Celestial Master is a Celestial Master who has overcome the Eight Minor Tribulations. What exactly do those Eight Minor Tribulations refer to? He is currently at a very high level of Tranquility, and knowing too little would disturb his state of mind.

Chen Liedao attacked Long Bang with his bare hands, without using any weapons.

"Martial arts?" Seeing that the Dragon Ranking showed no change in expression, Xuanxu asked, "Are you willing to contribute such a small amount of divine source?"

Yan Fei pondered for a moment. "His cultivation of the Saint-level Qi-gathering Scripture of Origin Heaven can definitely give you some inspiration, but the prerequisite is that he must first reach that realm." "Let's end this. Take this."

"Yes, there is not a single question above, but can martial arts answer this?"

Xuanxu also took out 700,000 catties of special elemental stones and 870,000 catties of elemental stones with seven elements and thunder seeds.

"You're right, because Yan Feiwan, a freshman at Starry Sky Elementary School, is now number one in martial arts. Even if you were in the Cloud Mist Sect, you probably wouldn't have heard of that," Xuanxu said.

With a single strike, Long Bang retreated several hundred meters away. I sheathed my Blood River Blade and said, "He won."

But Xuanxu suddenly said, "Martial arts? That's 70,000 jin of pure divine source, isn't that too little?"

"That's 700,000 catties of Yuan Stones, 70,000 catties of each of the seven types of Yuan Stones. You also raised another 100,000 catties of Thunder-type Yuan Stones yesterday, none of which can be traded with martial arts," Xuanxu said.

"You're being too hasty. He's only at the early stage of the eighth-order Qi Condensation Realm right now. It will be too late to challenge Qian Yanfei once he breaks through to the peak of the eighth-order Qi Condensation Realm and truly possesses the strength of Brother Qian Chen."

"When you came, we hadn't calculated it yet. So, according to the rules of your next transaction, one jin of flawed divine source can be exchanged for seventy jin of spirit stones, or ten jin of seven-element spirit stones. We didn't ask for yin-yang attribute spirit stones during the martial arts event, but we added thunder attribute spirit stones."

Wu Daoda spent a long time explaining to Chen Liedao and Yan Fei the opening and cultivation methods of the Seven Divine Treasures.

This is called "accumulating knowledge and experience before unleashing it".

"He is indeed at the threshold of Qian Chen now, and is very close to Qian Huang Yu Cheng Mo. Looking at the entire Canglong Star, there are a lot of minor Celestial Masters, and the difference between them and special Celestial Masters is like that between a Grandmaster and a minor Grandmaster, with a huge difference in combat power."

The palm print formed from fiery true energy illuminated half the sky, and when the palm struck, a loud "boom" resounded.

Xuanxu looked slightly surprised and asked, "So you knew how much pure divine source Yan Fei was going to trade that time?"

Brother Qian Chen is ranked 180th in total. Every 20 places apart in the rankings represent a significant difference in strength. However, there is no huge gap between the bottom 70 and the top 70 in Brother Qian Chen's rankings. But after the top 70, the difference in strength between each of the remaining ranks is substantial…”
