I'm in the Demonic Sect, but my cultivation techniques are being used for palace intrigue!

With the complete unleashing of "Blood Burning Technique", Zhu Jingguang's aura surged instantly!

His skin, which was originally just dark red, now faintly shone with a golden luster, as if the blood flowing through his body was no longer blood, but liquid gold.

Then, a terrifying heat wave swept outwards from Zhu Jingguang in all directions.

At the same time, the temperature inside the stone chamber rose sharply, and even the hard stone walls began to show signs of melting.

"Click—"

Finally, under Zhu Jingguang's almost self-destructive attack, the barrier between the fifth and sixth levels of Qi Refining that stood in front of him... finally shattered!

"Rumble..."

As if a river had burst its banks, the immense spiritual power that had been blocked outside surged into Zhu Jingguang's dantian like a raging flood.

The spiritual energy, which was originally in a liquid state within its body, rapidly became viscous under the compression of this immense force, to the point that it was almost solidified!

Qi Refining Level Six... This marks the completion of the first stage!

However, although Zhu Jingguang has already broken through to the sixth level of Qi Refining, his breakthrough has not stopped there!

This is because... the "Blood Explosion Burning Technique" within his body is still operating continuously, and because of this, the immense power gained from burning blood and qi is still pouring into, gathering, and purifying Zhu Jingguang's body...

However, despite the enormous amount of blood energy produced by the "Blood Burning Technique," Zhu Jingguang, who had already broken through to the sixth level of Qi Refining, showed no sign of panic.

After all, the power gained from burning the blood and qi of the fifth level of Qi Refining is far inferior to his current cultivation level of the sixth level of Qi Refining.

Soon, as Zhu Jingguang activated the "Qi-Guiding Technique," the originally gentle spiritual energy of the "Qi-Guiding Technique" instantly became condensed.

It was clear that the "Qi-Guiding Technique," which could only passively protect the meridians, was now being actively guided by Zhu Jingguang's current Qi Refining Level 6 cultivation, and began to "actively"...attack!

Under Zhu Jingguang's control, the spiritual power of the "Qi-Guiding Technique" transformed into countless fine threads, forcibly taming and subduing the violent energy, and then gradually integrating it into Zhu Jingguang's limbs and bones.

  

During this process, Zhu Jingguang's body also underwent tremendous changes.

The body, which had become withered and emaciated from burning blood and energy, was now beginning to regain its fullness.

The broken meridians in his body were rapidly repaired under the nourishment of spiritual energy, and in the process, they even became wider and stronger.

In addition, the damaged organs were also revitalized under the baptism of this energy, and their functions were several times stronger than before.

Zhu Jingguang sensed it!

Having just reached the sixth level of Qi Refining, I experienced a complete transformation!

If it weren't for the fact that he had burned his own blood and energy to break through, he would have felt even more changes!

……

……

After an unknown amount of time, the heat wave inside the stone chamber finally subsided.

At the same time, the red glow on Zhu Jingguang's body began to fade, revealing his original fair skin.

Of course, compared to before, Zhu Jingguang, who now possesses the sixth level of Qi Refining cultivation, is undoubtedly taller and more upright. Moreover, his originally somewhat immature face now has a more angular and cold look.

"call--"

Zhu Jingguang let out a long breath!

Then, Zhu Jingguang slowly finished his practice and opened his eyes.

"Is this... the power of the sixth level of Qi Refining?"

Zhu Jingguang clenched his fist, feeling the surging spiritual energy within his body, and a confident smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.

Although he was feeling a bit weak and his energy was depleted, he knew that this was only temporary!

Trading a slight weakening condition for the cultivation level of the sixth level of Qi Refining, this deal... is very worthwhile!

"The Great Sun Sword..."

When Zhu Jingguang thought of this name, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

"While I am still not strong enough to directly confront a seasoned Qi Refining Level 6 cultivator like yourself, at least for now, I can protect myself in front of you... without much trouble!"

Thinking of this, Zhu Jingguang couldn't help but have a thought and decided to test his current cultivation level.

Then, Zhu Jingguang's figure flickered and he instantly appeared in the corner of the stone chamber.

"despair--"

With a soft sound, Zhu Jingguang's fist gently touched the hard stone wall.

Stone fragments flew everywhere, and a fist-shaped mark about an inch deep appeared on the stone wall!

"I only used a tiny fraction of my physical strength... and without adding any magical power... and yet I possessed such destructive power?"

"I simply can't imagine how strong I'll become if I unleash my full power!"

"Compared to the previous fifth level of Qi Refining, the power of the sixth level of Qi Refining... it's like they're from a completely different dimension!"

"As a result, this kind of power is only grouped with the fifth level of Qi Refining or even the fourth level of Qi Refining in the Qi Refining level rating, and is collectively referred to as 'mid-stage Qi Refining'..."

"In that case... I simply can't imagine how strong the seventh, eighth, and ninth levels of the late-stage Qi Refining realm really are?"

"And what about the tenth level of Qi Refining, which represents the completion of Qi Refining?"

"How terrifying must its expressiveness be?"

"And what will it be like to build a foundation upon this?"

…………

A fleeting look of surprise crossed Zhu Jingguang's eyes.

However, it quickly recovered.

However, it was at this very moment that a sudden change occurred!

"Buzz—"

Zhu Jingguang's storage bag at his waist suddenly vibrated.

He frowned slightly, reached out and grabbed the storage bag.

Inside the storage bag, the outer disciple token obtained from Senior Sister Tan was now emitting a faint red light.

"This is……"

Zhu Jingguang's heart stirred, and he took out the token.

The red light on the token grew stronger and stronger, eventually projecting a blurry light curtain in mid-air.

Within the light screen, a figure dressed in a black robe with a blurred face slowly emerged.

"The outer sect disciple's token... it even has a projection communication function?"

Upon seeing this, Zhu Jingguang was immediately startled and instinctively tried to put the token away.

But the black-robed figure seemed to have anticipated his movements. Just as he was about to put it away, the black-robed figure uttered an extremely cold voice first:

"Now that you have Tan Yuehong's token, you can complete the task I originally assigned to Tan Yuehong!"
