Two Realms High Martial Arts: Gathering the Heavens to Become a Great Luo Immortal

Chapter 182 Enlightenment, Emergence from Seclusion, Cultivation Techniques, True Inheritance

Liu Suifeng's terrified head rolled onto the black stone.

The glaring blood flowed freely across the gray-black rocks.

Time seemed to freeze in the valley for a moment.

The greed and mockery on Li Wujiu and Hua Nongying's faces had vanished without a trace, replaced by undisguised horror and bone-chilling coldness!

Li Wujiu, known for his ruthlessness as the "Greedy Wolf Hand," felt as if his heart was being gripped by an icy hand, making it difficult for him to even breathe.

Hua Nongying was terrified beyond measure, her eyes darting around several times, searching for the direction she could escape to.

He had never seen such terrifying killing intent in swordsmanship!

Qi Youming and Liu Suifeng, two experts at the Enlightenment Realm whose strength was comparable to theirs, were easily crushed like ants!

Fear gripped the two like a poisonous vine, and they instantly reached a consensus—escape!

Escape at all costs!

Stay as far away from this ominous star as possible!

However, in that instant when their minds were shaken and their survival instincts overwhelmed everything, Li Xijun made a move.

He did not pursue, but simply raised the longsword in his hand that had just tasted blood once more.

A colder, purer killing intent, like an invisible chill, instantly locked onto the two of them.

The Emperor's Qi Observation Technique has been put into its ultimate form!

In his deep eyes, one could see the sudden stagnation in Li Wujiu's blood and qi, which had been violently fluctuating due to fear.

Hua Nongying lost her composure due to her scream, and a faint gap appeared in the protective poisonous mist around her...

Every tiny flaw was as clear as a beacon in the darkness!

"No! We can't run!"

"To flee now is certain death!"

Li Wujiu was ultimately a vicious person. Stimulated by this cold killing intent, the ruthlessness in his bones was aroused instead.

He knew that turning around and running away would only hasten his death, so he decided to fight to the death!

"Greedy Wolf's Claw Shatters the Mountain!"

He let out a beastly roar, forcibly suppressing his fear, and the remaining true energy in his body surged wildly into his claws.

Those ferocious metal claws instantly erupted with a blinding, eerie light, as if they had become a savage beast ready to devour its prey.

He held back, his body charging back towards Li Xijun like a cannonball, his claws tearing through the air with a ferocious momentum like a mountain collapsing and rocks splitting, aiming straight for Li Xijun's head and chest.

This was a desperate strike that combined all his life's strength and unleashed his potential. Wherever his claws passed, even the billowing blood smoke was torn open, creating a vacuum!

This attack was fierce and terrifying, enough to make ordinary martial artists at the Qi Opening Realm tremble with fear and retreat!

however,

In Li Xijun's "vision",

This seemingly fierce attack, the nodes of its true energy flow and the connections between them are as clear as the lines on the palm of your hand.

His eyes remained unchanged, and he didn't even change his posture. With a very slight flick of his wrist, the longsword in his hand transformed into a thin, extremely refined golden line that was almost impossible to see with the naked eye!

"Sizzle!"

A soft sound, like a hot knife slicing through butter.

The thin golden line passed precisely through an extremely tiny, fleeting "gap" that naturally appeared when Li Wujiu's claws intertwined with true energy.

It ignored the claw-like aura that could shatter mountains, and ignored Li Wujiu's ferocious power as he fought to the death, as if it were merely drawing a graceful arc at will.

Li Wujiu's forward momentum suddenly froze, and his ferocious claw energy instantly dissipated.

The ferocity on his face froze, his eyes filled with utter astonishment and bewilderment. A thin line of blood appeared between his eyebrows, extending downwards, through his nose, lips, throat, chest... all the way down to his waist and abdomen!

"Well……"

Before Li Wujiu could say anything, his entire body was as if cleaved in two by an invisible blade, splitting in two along the bloodline.

Another sword strike!

Li Wujiu, who fought desperately with the "Greedy Wolf Hand," was split in two!

This horrific scene completely shattered Hua Nongying's last shred of will to resist.

She was so terrified that all her allure and poison skills vanished, leaving only primal fear.

She screamed and desperately urged the remaining true energy in her body, causing the pink poisonous mist around her to churn violently as she tried to transform into a bloody shadow and escape into the depths of the valley!

"No! I can't die!"

Her will to survive erupted, and she let out a determined growl.

But Li Xijun's eyes remained completely calm.

In his eyes, Hua Nongying's panicked escape revealed her chaotic true energy, full of flaws, and almost completely exposed her weaknesses.

"cut."

Li Xijun uttered only one cold word.

With another slight flick of his wrist, the longsword transformed once more into an even faster, thinner golden line.

This golden thread seemed to disregard spatial distance, arriving faster than the fleeing pink blood shadow in an instant.

"Sizzle!"

The sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh rang out faintly.

Hua Nongying's charging figure suddenly stopped, and the terrified and distorted expression on her face instantly froze.

She looked down with difficulty and saw a blood-stained sword tip protruding from her full chest. The cold blade still carried the warmth of her heart.

Her poisonous mist, her seductive skills, all her struggles and fears seemed so pale and powerless in the face of this sword.

"Heh..." Hua Nongying let out a sound like air leaking from her throat, the light in her eyes quickly dimmed, and she collapsed and died on the spot.

Three swords!

Willows sway in the wind, Li Wujiu, and flowers play with shadows!

Three experts at the Enlightenment Realm who were somewhat well-known in the Seven Emotions Sect and even in the martial arts world.

In the blink of an eye, they all perished under Li Xijun's sword!

The smoke from the blood had not yet completely dissipated, lingering in the deathly silent valley, mixing with the thick stench of blood to create a nauseating scene of carnage.

The ground was littered with the unconscious disciples of the Star Palace, the mangled limbs of the Demonic Sect disciples, and the four corpses of Qi Opening Realm experts in different shapes.

Li Xijun stood there with his sword in hand, the last drop of blood dripping from the tip of the sword, splashing into a tiny blood flower on the black rock.

"Senior Sister Hongling."

"yes!"

Li Xijun's voice was very soft, but Mu Hongling instinctively shuddered and quickly spoke up.

At this moment, the girl was filled with admiration and awe for her mysterious junior brother, and she was incredibly obedient.

Seeing this, Li Xijun couldn't help but chuckle.

This smile instantly shed the indifference he had shown after killing everything, and he seemed to have returned to his previous demeanor.

"Senior sister, there's no need for that. I've checked, and the blood smoke should dissipate in about 15 minutes."

"Let's hurry up and pack up our spoils. My pills and your share of the 'Heavenly Wisdom and Earthly Hearing Pill' are all taken care of."

Li Xijun's words clearly implied that he wanted a share of the "Heavenly Wisdom and Earthly Hearing Pill".

This made Mu Hongling instantly excited.

Although the acupoints in her eyes are almost fully formed, she is just one step away from breaking through.

However, the precious medicine, the Heavenly Hearing Pill, can be used when one is in the first seven orifices of the Opening Aperture Realm, and can be used directly when one is refining the ear orifices later.

The swift-acting Mu Hongling quickly cleaned up the battlefield, taking with her the three Qi Opening Realm demonic martial artists' collections, as well as other demonic sect disciples' ornaments that could be exchanged for a Rongzhi Nourishing Qi Pill, and packed them into a large bag.

The two acted swiftly, finding two of the remaining Blackblood Horses and returning to the Palace of Stars.

The exchange of pills also went quite smoothly.

Both of them were outer disciples with powerful backgrounds, so almost no one would dare to have any ulterior motives in the Star Palace.

Mu Hongling received one Heavenly Hearing Pill, while Li Xijun received more than ten bottles of Rongzhi Nourishing Qi Pills, as well as two Heavenly Hearing Pills.

Both of them returned with a full load from this outer sect operation.

Li Xijun immediately began seclusion after obtaining the elixir.

He first took out Rongzhi Yangqi Pills and took and refined them every day in a routine manner.

This Rongzhi Nourishing Qi Pill is a pure and gentle medicine, making it an excellent elixir for cultivating true qi and accumulating power in the Qi Accumulation Realm.

Nourished by the medicinal properties and subtly regulated by the "Emperor's Qi Observation Technique," the true qi within his body became increasingly refined and abundant at an astonishing rate, flowing ceaselessly through his meridians like a river.

Fifteen days later.

In a quiet room,

Li Xijun's internal energy was already surging to its limit, and a warm current flowed through his limbs and bones. The barrier of the Qi Accumulation Realm was clearly perceptible.

[Your martial arts system: Qi Accumulation Realm, increased from 99% to 100%.]

"It's done!"

As expected, Li Xijun, who had completed the Qi Accumulation Mastery within a month, carefully felt the true Qi filling his Qi Sea.

"After accumulating Qi to its fullest extent, one will open the orifices. The eyes, ears, nose, and mouth are the seven orifices, which mainly correspond to the internal organs. However, the construction of one's own inner world must form its own cycle, just like the real world. There is birth, prosperity, and decline; there is a beginning, a process, and an end. This is the great way of heaven and earth, which is cyclical. The decline and detoxification of the inner world of the human body naturally have corresponding natural acupoints, which are called the front and back Yin."

"And the first step to enlightenment is through the eyes,"

"Once the eyesight is opened, one can see clearly and far, observe things meticulously, and seize opportunities in battle, as well as make various observations easier. At the same time, it corresponds to the liver qi in the body, which can strengthen the qi of the five internal organs and enhance the physical body."

Li Xijun recalled the explanations in the martial arts manual and felt increasingly impressed by the system of this martial arts world.

The martial artists in the main world seek to develop their martial arts realm by creating acupoints and meridians in their spiritual bodies after transcending the mortal realm, in order to break through to the external world.

However, in this martial arts world, the cultivation of acupoints is used to nourish the body's internal world, strengthen the five internal organs and five energies, and in turn enhance the body's circulation to withstand the impact of spiritual energy from the external world when breaking through to the external realm in the future.

Each one has its own unique characteristics!

Given Li Xijun's original rate of progress,

He estimated that he would need to cultivate for a period of time and refine the multiple acupoints related to the eye opening before he could naturally open the eye opening.

However, thanks to the support of the Enlightenment Realm martial artists from the Demonic Sect,

Now Li Xijun possesses two Heavenly Hearing Pills.

Although it is impossible to take it continuously in a short period of time, it is not difficult to open one's eyesight with the help of the elixir.

Thinking of this,

Without hesitation, he took out a "Heavenly Wisdom and Earthly Hearing Pill" the size of a longan, which emitted a refreshing medicinal fragrance, and put it in his mouth.

The pill melted instantly upon entering the mouth, transforming into a powerful and refreshing torrent that rushed into the limbs and bones, directly targeting the acupoints!

boom!

It was as if a great bell was ringing in my mind!

An indescribable feeling of coolness and clarity instantly spread, and under the catalysis of the medicine, Li Xijun's true energy became more abundant than ever before.

at the same time,

He keenly observed that a previously chaotic and hazy acupoint within his body, under the dual impact of the medicinal power and pure true energy, suddenly shone brightly, like a pearl that had been swept clean of dust.

"open!"

Li Xijun gave a low shout in his heart, and the powerful true energy accumulated throughout his body, under the precise guidance of his mental strength, surged towards that point of light like a floodgate being opened!

"Buzz!"

A mysterious tremor, audible only to himself, resounded within his body.

It was as if some invisible barrier had been instantly shattered.

In an instant, a cool, agile flow of energy, seemingly capable of discerning the subtlest details, was born from the eye apertures, instantly circulating throughout the body and merging seamlessly with the original true energy within, forming an even more powerful True Energy of the Opening Aperture Realm!

He suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze sharp and piercing, as if they were tangible, allowing him to easily perceive even the slightest movements. His perception of his surroundings had increased several times over.

The body seemed to have been relieved of an invisible burden, becoming lighter and more transparent than ever before. With every move, strength, speed, and reaction were elevated to a whole new level.

"The eye orifice is open!" He slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

Feeling the surging true energy within his body that could be released outwards, Li Xijun's lips curled into a satisfied smile.

From the initial accumulation of vital energy to the opening of the mind, it all happens naturally.

At this moment, he can truly be considered to have entered the core level of martial artists in this world.

"After achieving enlightenment, one can be called an inner disciple and obtain the Enlightenment Realm cultivation techniques of the Star Palace."

"Most importantly, once you reach the Aperture Realm, you will be qualified to be listed on the Human Ranking. Once you are listed on the Human Ranking, you will become a true disciple of the sect and have the opportunity to obtain supreme divine skills such as the Azure Dragon Wood Longevity Technique, the Vermilion Bird Fire Burning Heaven Scripture, the Black Tortoise Sea Suppression and Earth Covering Method, and the White Tiger Seven Killings God Slaughtering Manual."

With Li Xijun's current combat strength, it wouldn't be difficult for him to travel in the future.

"Yes, soon. First, I'll obtain the cultivation technique for the Enlightenment Realm, then apply to go down the mountain for training. At that time, I can just find any unlucky person on the Ranking List."

Satisfied, Li Xijun pushed open the heavy stone door of the quiet room, preparing to go to the Inner Affairs Hall to complete the procedures for promotion to Inner Sect.

however,

The scene outside the door startled him slightly.

In the courtyard, beneath an ancient pine tree with gnarled branches and leaves, a woman stood with her back to him, her hands clasped behind her back.

She wore a simple and clean moon-white outfit, the tailoring of which perfectly accentuated her slender, tall, and heroic figure. Her long, ink-black hair was only partially tied up with a simple jade hairpin, with the rest falling smoothly to her waist, gently swaying in the breeze.

Just standing there, she exudes the ethereal grace of a white-robed swordswoman.

Hearing the door open behind her, Li Qinghan slowly turned around. Her eyes were clear and bright, like a deep pool, and she was looking at Li Xijun with a hint of concern that was not easily noticed.

"Sister?" Li Xijun was a little surprised, not expecting her to be here.

"Mmm," Li Qinghan responded softly, her voice clear and melodious.

Her gaze swept over Li Xijun carefully, but in an instant, she could no longer maintain her cool expression.

because,

She could clearly sense the unique aura emanating from Li Xijun, a martial artist at the Qi Opening Realm.

Although it has just broken through, there is still some instability and spillover effects.

But the profound and pure true energy, as well as the clear and insightful look in his eyes, all indicated that he had successfully broken through the barrier!

How is that possible!

She clearly remembered that Li Xijun had just entered the Qi Accumulation Realm when he first came to the Star Palace with her.

How long has it been?

Thirty days?

For an ordinary martial artist, it would take months or even years just to prepare, refine the acupoints, and accumulate true qi before attempting to break through to the Qi-opening stage. Yet he... not only completed the refining process in such a short time, but also succeeded in one fell swoop.

At this moment, her heart was also stirred up quite a bit. The speed at which the young man in front of her broke through was simply too astonishing!

"You...you've broken through to the Enlightenment Realm?" Even with her calm demeanor, her tone carried a hint of confirmation.

The fairy's cool gaze was fixed on Li Xijun, as if she wanted to see right through him.

"I succeeded by sheer luck." Li Xijun nodded slightly. "I just broke through, and my aura is still a bit unstable. Please forgive my poor performance, sister."

"let me see."

To be on the safe side, Li Qinghan darted forward and grabbed Li Xijun's wrist to carefully check his cultivation level.

However, after inspection, it was found that Li Xijun's meridians and dantian were indeed honed to the extreme, and his internal energy was not weak at all.

Li Qinghan remained silent for a moment, but ultimately said nothing.

After all, she had kept her secret from Li Xijun all along.

"Very well. With such talent and cultivation, you may truly achieve something after the great changes in the world."

"A great change in the world?"

Li Xijun grasped the key points in the other person's words and looked at them, wanting to get more information.

However, Li Qinghan shook his head and did not say anything more about the matter.

"This is not something you can know yet. Now that you have entered the Enlightenment stage, you are no longer an outer disciple. I will take you to the Internal Affairs Hall to register and receive your inner disciple identity jade token, and to choose your subsequent cultivation method."

"However, before that, we need to confirm which of the Four Spirits of the Star Palace you want to join. This is related to your future advancement to the True Disciple level and the cultivation techniques you will develop."
