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

Chapter 189 The Truth Behind the Celestial Changes, The National Games Begin

Although in that martial arts world, there are seven powerful masters who occupy the top of the Heavenly Ranking.

They were all rumored to possess profound and almost divine abilities, capable of making their words lawful and their thoughts capable of changing the weather.

However, when it comes to pure destructive power, neither the Star Palace scriptures nor the rumors of the martial arts world ever recorded any Dharma Body being capable of shattering a star with a single blow.

At that time, Li Xijun, who was still cultivating in the form of another self, felt that something was amiss.

However, this can only be roughly attributed to the fact that martial saints in the main world can control deeper layers of the laws of heaven and earth.

Therefore, their combat power is more ferocious and violent, and even stronger.

Until then,

He descended into that martial arts world in his true form and fought a real battle against Jin Zangfeng, a prodigy on the Human Ranking who was at the half-step Outer Realm.

To personally experience the opponent's swordsmanship, which draws upon the spiritual energy of outer space, at the level of an external landscape.

After completing the initial cultivation of the technique during the process of descending and consolidating the self and others,

Only now have I truly grasped that profound difference.

"Compared to this cultivation in the main world, the spiritual energy of that martial arts world was not only thinner, but also exhibited a sluggish and inert feel."

Li Xijun carefully savored every detail of the cultivation technique she had just practiced, her brows slightly furrowed.

"While both involve drawing upon the power of the outer world to unleash martial arts at the level of external landscapes, the total amount and activity of spiritual energy that can be mobilized in the martial arts world are far inferior to those in the main world. Just as a dragon cannot be raised in shallow water, the destructive power is naturally incomparable and is limited to a certain range."

His mind sank into his body.

Silently comparing the "Vermilion Bird's Blazing Fire Burns the Heavens Scripture"

The efficiency of absorbing knowledge in the martial arts world is like a trickle, often obscure and stagnant.

Compared to the current speed at which spiritual energy is gathering in the main world, like a whale swallowing the sea.

The difference between the two is like heaven and earth.

What convinced him even more was that when he went all out in that martial arts world,

I vaguely and indistinctly sensed the rules of heaven and earth that govern the martial arts world.

It also seems to imply an invisible yet real sense of constraint, like a tough and imperceptible shackle, restricting the ultimate burst of power and breakthroughs to higher levels.

"I see……"

A sudden realization dawned on Li Xijun's eyes; the many events from before began to piece together in his mind.

"The 'great change in the world' that my sister mentioned... does it refer to the process of the spiritual energy in the martial arts world, which has been dormant for thousands of years, being revived and revitalized?"

"And that Great Xia Emperor, who possessed the four seas and enjoyed supreme power in the world, was able to abandon the throne at the height of his power and disappear with the Azure Dragon Venerable, tirelessly searching for ancient imperial tombs and the graves of powerful figures..."

The more Li Xijun pondered, the clearer his thoughts became, and the more certain he became of his guess.

"They must have sensed something!"

"Perhaps it is some ancient remnant, or perhaps they sensed the imperceptible yet constantly changing pulse of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth... They foresaw, or rather, are actively pursuing this 'spiritual energy revival' that will inevitably overturn the world order."

Throughout history, what could drive a supreme ruler, the pinnacle of power, to madness, even to the point of abandoning his empire...?

Unbeknownst to him, Li Xijun had completed one cycle of the "Vermilion Bird's Blazing Fire Heaven Scripture," storing a drop of fire-attribute spiritual power in his dantian. He opened his eyes and slowly uttered the answer:

"That is naturally the true path of immortals and gods, transcending the mundane and achieving longevity."

Only a longer life, even eternal existence, could make an emperor feel...

The vast land and supreme power before them became prices that could be temporarily set aside or even abandoned.

"It seems the world of martial arts is quite complex."

"I should take advantage of the fact that the world has not changed drastically before I can rely on the powerful combat strength brought by my mortal body and spiritual power in the main world to acquire more supreme divine skills and techniques."

Thinking of this,

After completing the external cultivation of the "Vermilion Bird's Blazing Fire Scripture," Li Xijun absorbed and accumulated external spiritual energy.

I began to focus my attention on my body, specifically on the eye sockets and related acupoints.

"Based on the cultivation methods of the main world, my physical body has basically reached a point where there's not much room for improvement."

"But according to the cultivation methods in the martial arts world, I can condense acupoints and use the nine acupoints of the heaven to form an inner world to strengthen my physical body."

Li Xijun felt the restraints on himself afterward.

This is the main body's eye orifice, which is open but not fully open.

He began to re-enlighten himself using the "Vermilion Bird Separating Fire Burning Heaven Scripture" as the opening chapter.

Perhaps it's because I already opened it once before.

Rather than saying it's about opening one's eyes, it's more accurate to say that one had already boarded the train and was now using spiritual power to pay the fare.

Although the entire cultivation process consumed a large amount of spiritual energy that Li Xijun had just accumulated,

He then spent his credits to exchange for several more high-level spiritual springs.

However, Li Xijun only took half a day to successfully re-condense his eye aperture, just like he and I in the martial arts world.

"Indeed, my observation of this world is now much more detailed, and I can even have a vague, intuitive understanding of the spiritual energy concentration of various objects and places."

"Of course, most importantly, my physical body has also been strengthened and nourished because of the opening of my eyes."

The enlightenment gained in the martial arts world truly had an effective effect on nourishing the physical body.

A sense of new life force emanated from the eyes, subtly yet continuously strengthening the meridians and flesh throughout the body.

Having absorbed almost an entire bathtub full of spiritual spring water, Li Xijun arrived at the punching power testing equipment in the private villa.

He took a deep breath and slowly walked to the punching power tester.

The instrument's surface gleamed with a cold metallic sheen, and several high-precision sensors were aligned with the impact area.

Since successfully mastering the external killing move, Vermilion Bird Burning Heaven Seal,

Li Xijun no longer needed to deliberately lower his stance or adjust his posture when throwing punches.

He simply stood still, and then—casually thrust his right fist forward!

The movements were light and casual, even leisurely, like a nimble, fiery red mythical bird flying through the air.

However, just as the fist was about to make contact with the striking surface...

"boom--!"

A deep, muffled bang, like a cannonball exploding in the room, suddenly exploded, causing the entire private training room to shake violently.

The testing device, weighing several tons, jolted backward.

On the instrument screen, the data that had been steadily fluctuating suddenly started to erratically, with green numbers flashing continuously before finally coming to a slow stop.

Punching power: 218.87 tons

Li Xijun slowly withdrew his fist, looking at the data in front of him, without much surprise on his face.

He gently moved his wrist, feeling the pure physical power contained in that punch, far surpassing anything he had ever experienced before.

"This is the feedback from enlightenment to the physical body," he murmured to himself. "And this is only the feedback from opening the eyes."

If one were to refine and open each of the body's acupoints according to the methods of this realm, an inner landscape would naturally form.

At that time, this physical body, which has already undergone the transformation and strengthening process, will surely become even more powerful.

Li Xijun pushed open the familiar door and stepped into Teacher Lisa's attic.

The attic was unusually quiet today, with a faint, delicate fragrance in the air.

The room was empty; the gentle yet powerful aura that Lisa usually exuded was nowhere to be found.

Su Nianyi did not appear here today either.

Li Xijun was slightly surprised, but she did not stop walking and naturally headed towards the martial arts training room inside.

Before he even got close, an extremely sharp yet exceptionally concise sound of something cutting through the air pierced through the thick soundproof door and clearly reached his ears.

The sound was not like the loud bang of an ordinary weapon being swung; rather, it was more like a continuous and steady, shrill hum produced when cutting through the air at extremely high speed and with great precision.

Li Xijun's eyes flickered slightly as she gently pushed open the soundproof door to the martial arts training room.

The scene inside the door came into view.

In the center of the training room, Jiang Qiyue stood tall and straight like a pine tree, yet supple and graceful like a willow, dressed in a neat black training uniform.

The heavy, dark spear in her hand no longer seemed like ordinary iron, but had become an extension of her body, possessing its own life and spirit.

Gunfire was everywhere, yet it was not chaotic.

In her hands, the spear sometimes moved like a venomous dragon emerging from its cave, a flash of cold light appearing first, followed by a spear thrust out like a dragon, so swift that it left only a fleeting silver line in the air; at other times, it transformed into a series of smooth arcs, guarding the area so tightly that it was impenetrable and impenetrable.

What's most alarming is that with every thrust, retraction, sweep, and parry, the power of her spear is concentrated within an inch of the tip or shaft, without any leakage or waste.

That piercing sound of air being torn apart was the result of extremely concentrated power and maximum speed.

There was no loud sonic boom in the air, only this chilling, highly efficient, sharp hiss.

Each of her breaths was in harmony with the rise and fall of her spear techniques, all her strength perfectly contained within the area of ​​the spear shaft.

This clearly demonstrates that he has mastered marksmanship to a level of complete mastery and subtlety. His control over his own power in every gesture surpasses that of many second-year students, making him a rare genius even in the entire country.

Li Xijun watched quietly from outside for a while, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.

During her second year of university, Jiang Qiyue made remarkable progress, demonstrating her diligence and talent.

Just then, Jiang Qiyue seemed to have practiced the final move.

She exerted force from her waist and abdomen, channeling it into the spear. The dark spear emitted a deep hum, then transformed into a black lightning bolt that tore through the field of vision, thrusting out with unstoppable momentum.

"laugh--!"

The tip of the gun precisely struck a small, high-quality steel target hanging in the distance, producing a very faint, crisp sound.

There was no loud collision sound, nor did the target shake significantly.

Only on the steel bullseye, a deep dent was clearly visible, its edges perfectly smooth, as if it had been drilled through instantly by the most precise drill bit.

After the first shot, the barrage of gunfire abruptly subsided, and all the fierce momentum and hissing ceased abruptly.

Jiang Qiyue stood holding a gun, her breathing slightly rapid, sweat beading on her forehead, but her eyes were bright as stars. She was like a peerless divine weapon that had just undergone tempering and whose sharpness had been completely concealed.

She slowly withdrew her stance, looking at the already extremely perfect performance of the Subtle Realm martial arts technique, but she was not satisfied.

"Sigh, it was one thing that I couldn't catch up with Xi-jun before, but this time I can't even beat Nian-yi."

The usually lively and alluring girl had her brows furrowed, looking extremely distressed.

"This rate of progress is already quite fast. Your Transcendent Life Level should be over level 19 by now, right?"

Seeing that Jiang Qiyue had finished her cultivation, Li Xijun came in to offer his comfort, while also expressing some curiosity:

"Furthermore, I remember that Nianyi's talent in cultivation and martial arts is inferior to yours. Why do you say 'even inferior to Nianyi'?"

"hope-jun, you've emerged from seclusion!"

Upon seeing Li Xijun, Jiang Qiyue visibly perked up. She casually tossed her spear, which landed steadily on the weapon rack, then ran over and hugged his arm, seemingly seeking comfort, saying:

"The Global National Games are about to begin, and today is the start of the selection process for our Qingquan Chunhui Hall."

"My aunt took Nianyi to participate in the selection process for the Global National Games team members."

"With her current 124 tons of mental energy, she could probably really go to the Global National Championship with you~"

Jiang Qiyue looked like she was about to cry but had no tears left.

Upon hearing this news, Li Xijun suddenly realized what was going on.

In the Global National Championship, each country has eight official player slots and two substitute slots.

As is customary, Qingquan Chunhui Hall will have three official team member slots to compete for.

Of course, because of Li Xijun, this time there should be two official spots for the third-year genius students to compete for.

Generally speaking, those who can obtain a spot are at least genius martial artists at the early stage of the Intent Realm.

but,

Su Nianyi is a noble spiritualist, and a spiritualist with a naturally occurring dark golden lightning ball in her sea of ​​consciousness—a cheat-level spiritualist.

Although she has not yet achieved the perfection of the mortal transformation, nor has she mastered the essence of the realm,

However, relying solely on those hundred-plus tons of mental energy, and the extremely difficult-to-detect long-range attack methods inherent in mental energy itself,

It can easily defeat many martial artists in the early stages of the Art of Comprehension.

Just as Jiang Qiyue, her "plastic" friend, said, with Su Nianyi's strength, it seems she really could snag a spot in the Global National Championship.

"Waaaaah, my life level and martial arts skill are both higher, Nianyi is just too outrageous."

Jiang Qiyue thought about how Li Xijun and Su Nianyi would be traveling to other countries for national team training and participating in the global national team competition over the next few months.

She was left alone in the attic with her aunt, watching the two people's performance on the screen.

Suddenly, a feeling of being an "incompetent wife" welled up in my heart.

"Sigh, if only I had been born a year earlier and started my junior year of college."

"By now, I have already completed my Transcendental Transformation, comprehended the essence of martial arts, and become an Intent Realm Martial Artist, and I am with you all."

The girl pressed her face against Li Xijun's chest, seemingly venting her frustration.

"Nianyi's mental talent is just cheating."

"I wish I had a shortcut to quickly improve my cultivation level in a short time."

"I also want to go to the National Championships with you guys."

Jiang Qiyue whined and acted coquettishly, harboring some resentment in her heart.

but,

Li Xijun, who had been speaking unintentionally but whose words had taken to heart, was suddenly struck by the girl's words, and the Nirvana Dual Cultivation Technique from the outer scene of the "Vermilion Bird Fire Burning Heaven Scripture" came to mind.

"Um, Qiyue, I think I actually have a way to quickly improve one's cultivation level."
