62: Chapter 61 Re-entering the Imperial Court's Secret Realm

With the conclusion of the cabinet meeting.

The military finally agreed to Ji Xingyue's demand, trading a seat on the Yunzhong City council for stability within the Great Xia.

It took only a month.

The three great aristocratic families in Yanjing City had all finished relocating.

As for the Daoist Sect.

They remained steadfast in their home territory.

Apart from moving the National Religious Mansion, which managed the trivial affairs of the Daoist Sect, to Yunzhong City, they made no other moves.

This was at the military's request.

After all, the stability of the Nine Cities required the Daoist Sect to assist in maintaining order.

If the entire Daoist sect were to migrate to Yunzhong City.

It would likely cause major trouble.

Above the clouds.

Blade light and sword light collided frantically.

The terrifying commotion made the entire border war zone tremble.

"Brother Shangguan, this [Sword Dao Rule] of yours truly opens my eyes."

Ye Xiu did not use [Martial Domain], purely relying on the power of his Physical Body to compete with Shangguan Wudao; the opponent's [Sword Dao Rule] was somewhat special.

It could be used as a means of attack.

It could also amplify the attack intensity of his own sword Dao.

It was an extremely powerful Rule of Dao.

"I am inferior to Brother Ye..."

Shangguan Wudao sighed and sheathed his sword.

After several great battles.

He had exhausted all his means, yet the opponent, relying solely on the power of his physique, fought him to a draw.

During the battle, the means to ignore his Rule attacks had only been used once; if it were used continuously.

His own attacks would be hard to match against it.

Ye Xiu did not underestimate Shangguan Wudao and said earnestly: "Your [Sword Dao Rule] can cut through Rule constraints. Within the same Realm, I fear there are few who can block you, Brother Shangguan."

Shangguan Wudao shook his head slightly and did not continue the topic.

The two returned to the military drill grounds.

Tens of thousands of soldiers all showed expressions of admiration.

The shockwaves from the battle just now were simply too strong; if the two had fought on the ground, the hundreds of miles of the border war zone might not have been enough to withstand their destruction.

"Alright, I announce, the drill is over."

Sikong Tianwen was very satisfied; with these two in the military, the morale of the army remained very stable.

As for the other six, although their strength was far less impressive than the two.

They were still considered top-tier.

It just so happened that Chen Xuan died, so the eight cities could still support one person each.

The resources of Yunzhong City were gone.

The military had lost control of that place and it was completely allocated to the aristocratic families.

Thus.

Yanjing affairs were concluded.

...

A certain mountain range.

Two figures flew rapidly through the mountains.

"Hey, Xing Mu, are you sure there is a Secret Realm here?"

After searching for half an hour with no findings, Ye Xiu could not help but start to doubt.

"Nonsense, when has this Palace ever lied to you."

"Many times..."

"Believe it or not, suit yourself."

Xing Mu was somewhat annoyed; with the unlocking of her memories, she no longer needed to Cultivate.

If it weren't to improve Ye Xiu's cultivation, she wouldn't bother wasting time here.

Another half an hour passed.

The two finally sensed unusual spatial fluctuations near a cliff.

"Break through it, it is right inside."

Xing Mu pointed at the rock wall in front of them and said.

Ye Xiu didn't waste words.

He controlled his strength.

With a loud boom, he punched straight through the stone wall.

Invisible spatial ripples slightly stirred with the vibration of the rocks.

"This time, don't run away like last time."

Ye Xiu's face carried a hint of dissatisfaction, his words implying something.

After speaking.

He stepped directly into the Secret Realm.

"Tch... last time there was the threat of a Deity Obsession, should I have waited to die instead of running?"

Xing Mu muttered.

[Imperial Court Trial]

[The challenger can obtain Spiritual Qi rewards by defeating the Guardian. Fight across Realms to receive the Imperial Court's blessing.]

[The trial now begins.]

Familiar words rang in his ears.

Inside the Secret Realm.

It was still an ancient coliseum, one mile in length and width, with the viewing seats on the boundary blurred and unclear.

A dark passage.

A Guardian began to enter.

Transcendence Realm!

"Starting from the beginning?"

A punch from a distance.

The wind from the punch alone tore the Guardian to shreds.

The Spiritual Qi reward was very weak.

In a single breath, it had already been completely devoured by Ye Xiu.

The challenge continued!

Transcendence Grade 2...

Grade 3...

Grade 9...

Sky-Soaring Realm...

Grade 9...

These Cultivators with royal clan strength were too weak.

Until [Mingdao Realm] Grade 9, there was no existence that could withstand a punch from him.

After all, when challenging the [Mingdao Realm] Guardian, he had kept his [Martial Domain] active the entire time.

Immunity to Ten Thousand Laws!

It was truly very useful.

It naturally countered all offensive and defensive Rules.

Coupled with the absolute suppression of his Physical Body, within the same Realm, apart from those with equal divine bodies who could exchange blows with Ye Xiu, under the condition of Bloodline suppression.

When encountering a pure brute like Ye Xiu.

They could only be ruthlessly crushed.

The Guardian's Realm was rapidly increasing.

[Void Imperial Realm]!

In this Realm, the controlled Rules could be attached to the Physical Body, greatly strengthening the Physical Body's intensity, allowing one's defense to achieve a qualitative leap.

As the grade increased.

The power of the controlled Rules would also become increasingly powerful.

However, in Ye Xiu's hands, these [Void Imperial Realm] Guardians were no different from the [Mingdao Realm] ones.

The power of the Rules was as good as non-existent; one punch would break several of their ribs.

This was the terrifying aspect of Immunity to Ten Thousand Laws.

Even if [Void Imperial Realm] could attach Rules to the Physical Body.

It was still countered by it.

Boom.

Boom.

Boom...

One Guardian after another was killed with a single punch.

The reward for clearing the [Void Imperial Realm] was very generous; the terrifyingly pure Spiritual Qi, even with Ye Xiu's absorption speed.

It took three days.

To absorb so much Spiritual Qi.

Creak...

In the darkness, an iron cage was opened.

The low growl of "woo woo..." was somewhat harsh.

Yuxu Grade 9!

King Body of All Heavens!

"Dragon Clan?"

Ye Xiu was somewhat surprised, looking at the monster that had transformed into a human shape but still kept a Dragon head, he shook his head slightly.

Although the opponent was a full major Realm higher than him.

But the Bloodline difference between [Divine Body] and [King Body of All Heavens] was enough to make up for this gap.

Even though the Dragon Clan had always been known for their strong Physical Body.

But a Yuxu Grade 9 Dragon Clan member only had the power of 20,000 Dragon power, not much higher than his own.

With the amplification of [Pride of the World] and [God Slaying].

In terms of strength.

Ye Xiu was only stronger, not weaker.

Boom.

The two sides did not speak.

They immediately clashed.

Terrifying power collided frantically.

The Dragon Clan member in front of him controlled the Rule of Fire; every punch it unleashed carried extremely strong flames.

But Ye Xiu, who had activated [Martial Domain], was able to directly ignore the flames.

This battle was quite easy.

The Dragon Clan member, with its peerless Physical Body, completely shattered after taking three hits of the second stage [Pride of the World] at close range.

It turned into specks of fluorescent light and disappeared into the coliseum.

[Fight across Realms, Imperial Court's blessing]
