In chaotic times, one can become a martial immortal.

Chapter 120 Annihilation, Secret Realm

In an instant, swords flashed and shadows danced, and a fierce battle ensued.

Almost all the silver and bronze sword wielders of the Suspended Sword Division, along with hundreds of iron sword wielders, clashed with the experts from the Cui family.

In just a dozen breaths, the scene was already a river of blood and corpses strewn everywhere.

Although the Cui family members resisted with all their might, they were quickly put at a disadvantage.

Despite their significant numerical advantage, they were no match for the well-trained Sword Division.

Moreover, although the number of people on the Suspended Sword Division's side is small, each one of them can be considered an elite.

Lu Yuan, Jiang Ying, and Bai Xiaotang were also busy, following closely behind Fan Ping and constantly reaping the lives of Cui family experts.

This mission was not actually very dangerous for them.

Although they need to face the entire Cui family, in reality, these super experts, including Cui Zhe, do not need to be dealt with by them, nor is it their turn to take action.

"Hahaha—Heaven is vast and boundless, why has it been so cruel to me?"

As more and more experts from the Cui family fell to the ground, Cui Zhe laughed bitterly.

Knowing that the situation was hopeless, he felt no regret, only a deep sense of resentment. If he had known this would happen, he should have acted sooner.

If Heaven could give him more time, the Cui family would surely rise to even greater heights.

"Choi Cheol, are you willing to plead guilty?"

Zhuo Hang stared directly at Cui Zhe and demanded an explanation.

"It's all about the victor taking all!"

Cui Zhe chuckled self-deprecatingly, then continued, "Though my Cui family has fallen, many more will rise up, until we completely change this world, achieving an immortal ancestor and an eternal kingdom!"

"The Immortal Ancestor, the Eternal Kingdom!"

"Immortality—Pfft!"

As a head flew off, everything came to an abrupt end.

After Cui Zhe's death, the surviving experts of the Cui family seemed to have completely lost the courage to resist.

Before long, they were all wiped out.

Thus, the once-powerful Cui clan of Anyang was completely wiped out.

"Have you found him?"

Zhuo Hang looked up at Fan Ping and the others and asked.

"Sir, that guy got away!"

Fan Ping and the others exchanged glances, then shook their heads.

"It's alright, as long as he's still in Tianshui Prefecture, we'll find him sooner or later!"

Zhuo Hang frowned slightly, then waved his hand dismissively: "Fall back!"

Immediately, the large procession, carrying various confiscated supplies, quickly departed.

After returning to the garrison, Lu Yuan entered a peaceful state of cultivation again.

He exchanged most of the merits he earned from this mission for various resources that could aid his cultivation.

He also exchanged for some of the Earth-grade cultivation techniques with similar profound concepts.

Unfortunately, he still hadn't accumulated enough merit points to complete the Heavenly Grade cultivation technique.

Although the breakthrough of the "Surprising Wind Kick" technique is still progressing steadily, the pace is getting slower and slower.

Even the deduction of the subsequent methods of the Five Elements Vajra Body seems to have hit a roadblock.

Since the Blood Transfusion arc was completed, there hasn't been a new arc released for a long time.

Clearly, to speed up the process, a corresponding top-tier cultivation technique is needed.

However, to accumulate enough merit points to exchange for a top-grade cultivation technique, unless one undertakes several more missions like destroying the Cui clan, it will be difficult to do so in the short term.

Without much hesitation, Lu Yuan continued to cultivate the Five Elements Vajra Body Blood Exchange Technique.

In addition, he also took the time to perfect all the techniques that he had not yet truly practiced.

Once the "Surprising Wind Kick" technique has reached its limit, players can queue up to attempt to break through its limit.

Time flies, and another three months have passed just like that.

After more than three months of diligent cultivation, Lu Yuan has successfully completed the Five Elements Vajra Body Blood Transformation Chapter.

Now, his marrow is as white as frost and his blood as thick as mercury.

The speed at which qi and blood are transported is much faster than before.

Even the speed at which internal energy recovers has increased several times over again.

It can be said that if Lu Yuan were to unleash his full power now and directly use his罡雷 (罡雷 is a type of explosive force), he would not only have at least two opportunities to strike, but he would also be able to recover in just two or three hours at most.

In addition to improvements in cultivation level, there has also been a significant improvement in artistic conception.

His understanding of fire has reached perfection, and he is about to step into the realm of the罡 (Gang) realm.

He has reached 60% of the Wind Realm, and it should take him at most another three months to enter the Gang Realm.

Not only did he comprehend three realms of intent simultaneously, but two of them had already reached the Gang Realm. If he were to fully reveal them, even the so-called martial arts prodigy and saintly genius would have their understanding of them completely overturned.

"From now on, I basically have nothing left to practice."

Lu Yuan frowned slightly. The subsequent chapters of the Five Elements Vajra Body were not yet complete, so he could not continue cultivating.

As for those techniques, they are not very meaningful to cultivate; one can simply wait in line to break through the limits.

It seems he must accumulate enough merit points as soon as possible to exchange for at least one top-grade internal cultivation technique.

Besides top-tier cultivation techniques, the more merit points required to exchange for super resources, the better.

"Lu Yuan, do you know anything about the secret realm?"

Just as Lu Yuan was preparing to take on more missions to earn merit points, Jiang Ying and Bai Xiaotang excitedly came over again.

"Is a secret realm about to open?"

Lu Yuan nodded, his eyes brightening slightly.

He was naturally aware of the existence of secret realms. There was a record in an ancient book that there were many other spaces in the world called secret realms, which were usually hidden from the world and only opened during special periods.

These secret realms are mostly unique, not only blessed with natural beauty but also rich in resources. Even super resources like cold jade marrow are almost everywhere.

Unfortunately, there are not many known secret realms, and almost none of them have ever been opened to the public.

Some of the most famous secret realms have not only been occupied by various forces, but have also remained closed to the public for many years.

If there really is a secret realm about to open, then even for him, it would be an immense opportunity.

"That's right, a hidden realm in the mountains and rivers is about to open. It's said that this realm not only contains many super resources, but may also hold ancient inheritances!"

Jiang Ying nodded and smiled, "Lord Zhuo Hang has already spoken. Whoever says they can stump the ancient inheritance in the secret realm will directly receive 100,000 merit points."

Keep in mind that even exchanging for a top-grade cultivation technique would only yield a maximum of 30,000 merit points.

One hundred thousand merit points are enough to exchange for three top-grade cultivation techniques.

"Ancient heritage?"

Lu Yuan's eyes flickered slightly. He had seen descriptions of ancient times in many ancient books.

Although it was just a few words, it still made him feel as if he could see that it was an extremely brilliant era of martial arts.

He even suspected that the so-called ancient martial arts might be a lost civilization of immortal cultivation.

If there truly is an ancient legacy within this secret realm, then even if it's completely exposed, he must obtain it.

"With the opening of the secret realm, geniuses will surely gather, and we may not be able to gain any advantage."

Bai Xiaotang said with some concern, "As far as I know, the Ziyang Sect will not only send many martial arts prodigies into the secret realm this time, but also a Saint Body genius will lead the team, and even a Martial Saint's grandson from the capital will be coming."
