In the world of martial arts, there is a vast fantasy world.

Chapter 232 Heavenly Grade Dragon Martial Arts Intent!

To put it bluntly, no matter how powerful Shen Xing's background is, he is ultimately an outsider to their Tianyuan Sect.

But this secret realm is the foundation of the Tianyuan Sect.

The initial reason for choosing this place to establish their sect was precisely for this secret realm, and over the past thousands of years, this secret realm has nurtured countless geniuses for them.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is the foundation of our sect.

Shen Xing was unaware that a group of mountain and sea monsters outside were already on edge, and he had already begun to deal with four fourth-realm demonic beasts.

Even without armor, this number of enemies posed a significant threat to him.

Monsters only possess innate martial arts intent and do not learn anything else. In terms of strength, they are actually much weaker than truly powerful spiritual realm warriors. However, they are still at the fourth realm, and each one can easily destroy a town. Moreover, these monsters are all of dragon lineage, making them even stronger than ordinary monsters.

At this moment, the training ground was filled with constant roaring and surging winds. Shen Xing, wielding a long spear, was constantly weaving between the four demonic beasts, already exerting all his strength.

Of course, I also thoroughly enjoy the joy of my rapid improvement.

Finally, at a certain moment, he shook his spear, and a dragon's roar resounded. Each strike seemed to be accompanied by the roar of a jade dragon. Several bloody holes appeared on the body of a fourth-realm demon beast, and blood gushed out as it fell down with a mournful cry.

The Jade Dragon Spear has been perfected.

The Soaring Dragon Body Technique was also perfected yesterday, and this was only in just four days!

"Once I take care of these four, my cultivation level will be high enough to break through to the mid-stage of the third realm!" Shen Xing was slightly out of breath, but his eyes were filled with uncontrollable excitement.

The gains were greater than I had imagined!

If the monsters here, or the kind of spiritual energy that can be quickly absorbed, were truly inexhaustible, I might be able to break through to the fourth realm right here in one go!

However, Shen Xing was clearly overestimating his abilities.

After he killed the four fourth-realm demonic beasts and successfully broke through to the mid-stage of the third realm, no new demonic beasts appeared, and his figure was directly teleported to the location of the Xuanlong Stone Tablet.

"That's it?" He was completely stunned. "I didn't even take out my armor."

Thinking back to the gazes he had felt earlier, Shen Xing suddenly realized something.

Could it be that they saw he was having some difficulty dealing with four demonic beasts, and thought that eight fourth-realm demonic beasts were too difficult for him, so they simply took him away?

If I had known, I would have just taken out the armor.

Let alone eight heads, even sixteen heads could be killed!

but--

Shen Xing's eyes narrowed slightly.

If that's really the reason, then this place is probably not just governed by "dead" rules.

Shen Xing said no more and directly chose the next trial.

It is the "Ascending Dragon Steps".

His cultivation level had just been raised, and he was about to refine his soul.

In an instant, he appeared in front of a white jade staircase.

As the information states, the Ascending Dragon Staircase has nine major steps, each of which is further divided into nine minor steps. Therefore, it is not actually very high. The highest point is a jade platform, which is only a few dozen meters high.

Under normal circumstances, one can reach the destination with just a light jump.

But the Ascending Dragon Steps are clearly not that simple.

Standing in front of the stage, Shen Xing could feel the pure, almost tangible dragon's might gathering before him.

"A trial to temper the soul." He took a step forward.

boom!

As the dragon's might swept in, his expression changed.

In the past, he used to use his dragon might to intimidate others, but now, experiencing it firsthand, he could feel what this unique aura was all about.

It was a pressure that penetrated directly into the soul, clearly demonstrating the power of different levels of life.

It was like facing a colossal creature that filled the entire world, and it was not even like facing a natural enemy, but more like facing a supreme king!

"However, if it's only at this level," Shen Xing said, narrowing his eyes slightly.

Take another step forward.

The dragon's might surged, seemingly enraged by his provocation.

However, Shen Xing's pace quickened, his soul throbbed under the pressure of the dragon's might, and his divine sense spread outwards. Even the Myriad Dragons Technique seemed to be provoked and began to operate rapidly, each breath carrying a visible aura. His pace quickened considerably.

First major order, second major order, third major order.

Shen Xing climbed six major steps in one go in just a minute or two!

It wasn't until the seventh step that the pace changed slightly.

At this moment, what he felt was no longer just the might of the dragon; it seemed as if the roar of the dragon was constantly ringing in his ears, filled with endless rage. The sound was even penetrating deeper into his soul—no, it had been resounding within his soul from the very beginning.

Even Shen Xing felt a tremendous pressure.

His already powerful soul was constantly shrinking.

In a daze, it was as if I saw a divine dragon manifesting before me!

Beneath the steps, unnoticed by him, streams of consciousness were converging.

"Can he get to the very top?"

"It's difficult. Throughout the entire history of 100,000 years, no more than ten people have been able to obtain that divine will."

"Ten digits every 100,000 years, that's one digit every 10,000 years, right? That should be about right."

"Hehe, that's not how it's calculated."

"The world is in decline now, getting worse year by year. What can we compare it to in ancient times?"

"I think he can do it; his spirit is top-notch."

"Among those who ascend these Dragon Ascension Steps, there are quite a few with superior divine souls, but how many can actually reach the summit?"

"."

In fact, the difficulty of this assessment did exceed Shen Xing's expectations.

He had even taken a third fourth-grade pill to restore his soul.

In the past, even taking just one pill was enough for him to learn more than a dozen top-tier dragon-type martial arts techniques in just two or three days, with remarkable results.

But now, after swallowing one, I can feel the medicinal properties being refined at an astonishing speed.

The pressure exerted on his soul at this moment was even greater than when he was learning the Earth-grade Martial Arts Intent.

This was only the seventh level, and Shen Xing was already feeling the strain!

However, he would not give in easily.

Putting everything else aside, just feeling the growth of one's soul is an extremely rare opportunity. After all, once you reach the fourth realm, your soul will merge with your physical body to form a spiritual palace, hence the name Spirit Realm. And the most crucial aspect of this realm is the level of your soul!

Although he wasn't worried about not being able to break through, the stronger his soul was, the stronger his foundation would be after entering the fourth realm!

Moreover, Shen Xing has always had enough confidence in his will. If he can't even reach the top of this test, it will probably deal a significant blow to his beliefs.

Even for this reason, Shen Xing is determined to reach the top no matter what!

As he finally passed the seventh step and stepped onto the eighth step, a dragon's roar suddenly resounded in his mind, and the image at the top finally appeared with unparalleled clarity.

That was a fire dragon!

Its entire body was crimson, yet golden flames burned continuously throughout it, swirling into a mysterious pattern, head to tail, just like a golden sun.

Even just a glance is enough to make one feel as if their soul is burning fiercely!

However, in contrast to this immense sense of oppression, Shen Xing's inner excitement was also burning!

Because this is clearly a martial arts concept!

You absolutely can't go wrong!

This level of profundity far surpasses any of the Earth-grade martial arts techniques that Shen Xing has learned. Even the Myriad Dragons Technique, which has already been promoted to the upper Earth-grade level, is far inferior in terms of profundity!

Is this a top-grade item?

There really is a Heavenly Grade Martial Dao Intent in this secret realm?

It's still a dragon!

Shen Xing's heart was burning with excitement beyond description. Ever since he learned of the possibility of the existence of the Heavenly Grade Martial Dao Intent, he had been looking forward to it all the time, especially the Dragon series. He had already anticipated that if he wanted to build up the Myriad Dragons Technique to the Heavenly Grade level, he would probably need to have the Heavenly Grade Dragon series Martial Dao Intent!

And now, even at the upper-grade Earth level, he is already so powerful that he can easily crush all the geniuses of his age on the academy's home planet in terms of foundation. His Heaven level is even more unimaginable!

Once obtained, it will absolutely lay the foundation for one's invincibility!

He originally thought that he would have to reach the Spirit Realm or even the Mountain and Sea Realm to possibly touch this level, but he never expected that he could find the Heavenly Grade Martial Dao Intent in the secret realm at only the third realm!

boom--!

Shen Xing took another step, and his soul burned like a raging flame.

He swallowed pill after pill, and the cool sensation in this trial ground seemed to flow into his mind.

Then, the next step.

Another step.

Shen Xing's body temperature had risen to an extremely high level, his entire body seemed to be boiling, and the spirituality contained in his soul was burning directly, so much so that his eyes began to burn with azure-gold flames. However, in his heart, there was only his ambition and desire for this Heaven-grade martial arts intent!

"Great!" Among the consciousnesses exchanging ideas below, someone couldn't help but cheer!

"We, the people of this generation, should be like this!"

"The path to heaven is right before us; what does it matter if we're shattered to pieces!"

"If one possesses such ambition, one has already mastered half of the path of martial arts!"

"I'm optimistic that he can succeed."

"This 'Dragon Holding the Sun' might actually reappear in the world!"

"If we succeed, we will have no regrets!"

"."

It was clear that these fluctuations of consciousness were extremely excited; no one understood the significance of this divine will better than them!

At this moment, Shen Xing had already stepped onto the ninth level!

We are only nine steps away from achieving this divine will!

But at this moment, his soul trembled.

Because a barely perceptible mark had already appeared in his soul.

At that moment, he suddenly realized something.

The inheritance actually begins the moment one steps onto the ninth level.

The entire Ascending Dragon Staircase is essentially an otherworldly version of a "learning device"!

The first eight steps are merely a test of whether one is qualified and has the potential to learn, but the ninth step marks the official start of the engraving process!
