High Martial Arts: Gains one point of health per second, sweeping across the heavens.

Su Jie's mind raced, and he instantly understood. "It seems it's more inclined to provide a fixed additional power boost that increases with the degree of fusion. But... a fixed boost of 2000 stars?"

He felt the terrifying power in his left arm, as if he could crush stars with his bare hands, and couldn't help but grin widely.

"This smells amazing!"

"With a fusion level of only 0.02%, it already has this effect. If it were increased to 1%, 10%... what would that be like?"

"As expected, a life lived on easy mode needs no explanation!"

At this moment, his actual combat strength without using martial arts techniques has already reached 5000 stars! Unless he encounters a monstrous genius with a special physique, he can already sweep away all the top geniuses in the Body Tempering Realm of the True Martial World!

"Now, I can really roam freely in that 'Land of a Thousand Stars'!" Su Jie clenched his fists, his eyes filled with unprecedented confidence and anticipation.

The next morning, ten enormous and magnificent "Azure Feather Eagles" circled overhead above the Azure Cloud Academy, each exuding an aura comparable to the peak of the Body Tempering Realm.

Su Jie, Luo Qingyi, Yan Feng, and four other qualified students boarded the eagle's back under the guidance of Palace Master Mu Chen and several instructors.

"Set off!"

At Palace Master Mu Chen's command, the ten Azure Feathered Eagles simultaneously let out a long cry that pierced through gold and shattered stone. With a flap of their wings, they stirred up a whirlwind and transformed into ten streaks of azure light, rushing towards the distant horizon.

A fierce wind howled, causing everyone's robes to flutter loudly. Below, the mountains and rivers receded rapidly, the city resembling a chessboard, its inhabitants gradually thinning out.

The Azure Feathered Eagle was incredibly fast, easily covering tens of thousands of miles a day. Even so, it took them a full day to fly, and the surrounding environment grew increasingly desolate, with an ancient and desolate aura beginning to permeate the air.

The following afternoon, a vast, dark red wasteland stretched out on the horizon. The land was cracked, vegetation sparse, and the air was filled with a faint smell of blood and a chilling sense of oppression.

This is the Starfall Wasteland, the place where the True Martial Realm fought a decisive battle with three extraterrestrial demons ten thousand years ago!

Before he even got close, Su Jie felt his blood and qi stirring slightly, and his Earth-grade martial bone emitted a yearning hum. Even the system in his sea of ​​consciousness seemed to become more active.

The remaining will and energy of the powerful beings in this place are a great tonic for his body, which has undergone extreme tempering!

"A great place!" A glint flashed in Su Jie's eyes.

As they ventured deeper, they witnessed a breathtaking scene:

In the heart of the wasteland, a colossal spatial rift, stretching across the heavens and earth, hangs suspended in mid-air like a hideous scar.

Around the rift, space twisted, energy turbulence raged, and terrifying fluctuations emanated from it, sending chills down one's spine.

In front of the crack, on a relatively flat open area, there was already a huge crowd of people!

Banners fluttered, and their aura soared to the heavens! Tens of thousands of young geniuses from various forces and academies of the True Martial World occupied their respective areas, their numbers probably no less than one hundred thousand!

The aura of the Body Tempering Realm gathered together, forming a mighty torrent that stirred up the winds and clouds.

Some rode in magnificent flying boats, some rode ferocious beasts, and others, like the Qingyun Academy, rode flying mounts. Looking around, geniuses gathered, and powerful figures were everywhere!

"Look, those are disciples of the 'Heavenly Sword Sect.' It's said that their chief disciple, 'Sword Without Trace,' has awakened his sword body, and his combat power is unfathomable!"

"And then there are the members of the 'Overlord Body Sect,' each with a physically formidable body, comparable to a ferocious beast!"

"That is indeed Fairy Luo of the 'Purple Cloud Academy,' truly living up to her reputation..."

"..."

A cacophony of voices and exclamations arose. Compared to this grand scene, the ten people from Qingyun Academy seemed utterly insignificant.

"Go down." Palace Master Mu Chen's voice was solemn as he directed the Azure Feather Eagle to land in a relatively secluded corner.

As soon as they landed, they felt countless gazes sweeping over them, most of which were scrutinizing, indifferent, or even undisguised contempt.

Qingyun Academy is considered quite good in the Tianyu City area, but within the entire Xingyun City jurisdiction, it can only be regarded as a second-rate, low-end force.

Yan Feng and the others straightened their backs, their expressions tense, feeling immense pressure. Luo Qingyi remained aloof, but her grip on the sword hilt tightened slightly.

Only Su Jie looked around curiously, muttering to himself, "Tsk, so many people, like dumplings in a pot. I wonder if they provide meals in the secret realm..."

His relaxed attitude drew a sidelong glance from a disciple from a major sect, dressed in brocade robes, who sneered, "Where did this country bumpkin come from? Is the secret realm a place for you to eat? You're ignorant!"

Su Jie turned his head, glanced at him, and said seriously, "Brother, you have a piece of vegetable stuck in your teeth."

The disciple in the brocade robe instinctively covered his mouth, then realized he'd been tricked, and his face flushed red: "You!"

"quiet!"

A grand and majestic voice, like a resounding bell, echoed deep within everyone's soul, instantly silencing all the noise.

Several blurry figures appeared in front of the spatial rift at some unknown time.

They were shrouded in starlight, obscuring their true appearance, but the aura they exuded was like a vast, unfathomable sea of ​​stars, making all the geniuses present feel their own insignificance.

Origin Realm? No, it's probably an even stronger Divine Treasure Realm existence!

"The entrance to the secret realm is about to stabilize," one of the figures said in a detached voice. "The rules are reiterated: Within the secret realm, life and death are left to fate! Those whose cultivation surpasses the Body Tempering Realm are not permitted to enter; violators will be annihilated!"

"A battle for opportunity, where each side relies on its own methods! Now, prepare to enter!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the enormous spatial rift trembled violently, and the distorted energy gradually calmed down, forming a stable, rotating, dark blue light gate about a hundred feet in diameter.

Within the gate of light, one could vaguely see shattered mountains and rivers, crumbling palaces, and a soaring crimson aura!

"Enter!"

Someone shouted, and in the next moment, 100,000 geniuses, like a flood bursting its banks, transformed into countless streams of light, rushing headlong towards the dark blue light gate!

"Let's go too!" Palace Master Mu Chen shouted in a low voice.

The ten members of Qingyun Academy dared not be negligent. They moved swiftly, blending into the massive crowd, and rushed into the light gate.

The moment Su Jie entered the portal, he felt a powerful spatial tearing force, and at the same time, it seemed as if some kind of scanning force swept over his entire body.

However, since his items were all hidden in the system space of the strongest martial arts system in the heavens, he didn't have to worry about being discovered and quickly passed through smoothly.

In a flash, time and space shift.

As the dizziness from the spatial shift subsided, Su Jie felt grounded and was immediately awestruck by the scene before him.

They found themselves in an endless void, with a strange, mirror-like surface beneath their feet that reflected starlight and stretched to the horizon.

The most dazzling sight is the thousands of colorful bubbles suspended in this void!
