48: A long way to go

However, when they entered the inn, there was no one inside, not even a trace left behind!

Not long after, the Martial Artists who had come to compete for the exotic flame all heard the news: the Saint-Grade Martial Artist who had made a Beast Taming Sect Martial Saint kneel had fallen, his glabella pierced by a single finger, his Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering!

Everyone was horrified at once; a Martial Saint, who almost stood at the Peak of this world, had died!

"How is this possible? How could such an invincible existence die?"

Everyone's minds buzzed, unwilling to believe it!

That was the Realm they had pursued their entire lives!

Now you're telling me it's Vulnerable (vulnerable)?

Everyone felt that the faith they had pursued for so long had completely collapsed!

"I saw it with my own eyes; he was instantly obliterated by a mysterious existence within the inn!"

"It's highly probable that a formidable existence has arrived in our Qian Domain, perhaps even an existence beyond the Saint-Grade Martial Artist level!"

"You mean a Martial Emperor? But isn't the current world not allowing one to become an Emperor?"

"I don't know about that; it's all just speculation. Anyway, let's keep a low profile recently. When walking on the road, absolutely do not provoke those inconspicuous beggars or those unpretentious people; they might be a big shot!"

"......"

The death of the Saint-Grade Martial Artist plunged the entire Qian Domain into turmoil.

Not only was the Beast Taming Sect terrified, but other Martial Artists were also on tenterhooks.

The mysterious vanished strong individual seemed like a great mountain pressing down on the entire Qian Domain!

Meanwhile, Long Yuan, the instigator, had already returned to the Qingyang City Dragon Emperor Palace to continue staying at home.

At this moment, he once again revealed his true form, transforming into a thousand-meter Azure Flame Blue Dragon!

"After Cultivating for such a long time, I'm still a long way from the Divine-Grade!"

"It seems that breaking through this Realm in Cultivation is still somewhat difficult!"

Although he had a 60x Cultivation acceleration, breaking through to the Divine-Grade was not that easy!

"System, open the attribute panel!"

【Host】: Long Yuan

【Race】: Azure Flame Blue Dragon

【Realm Cultivation】: Ninth-Rank Demon Emperor Perfection

【Physical Body Cultivation】: Tenth-Rank Demon God Perfection

【Current Task】: Elevate the Guardian Family to a Seven-Star Family

【Task Reward】: Ten years of Cultivation, one Bloodline Return to Ancestry, ten Sacred Artifacts, five Saint-Grade Physique Origins, five Saint-Grade Martial Soul Origins, and an Emperor-Grade Body Refining Cultivation Technique "Universe Starry Sky Art"

【Guardian Family Rank】: Six-Star (Host Cultivation speed increased by 60 times!)

Seeing the ten years of Cultivation and the Bloodline Return to Ancestry, Long Yuan's heart burned with anticipation.

But he didn't know if 600 years of Cultivation would allow him to Breakthrough to the Divine-Grade, so he still had to work hard to Cultivate now, striving to Breakthrough to the Divine-Grade in Realm Cultivation under the 600 years of Cultivation in the future.

"I wonder what will appear after this Bloodline Return to Ancestry?"

Just thinking about it made him a little excited!

Then, he began to ponder the current situation of the Chu Family.

Currently, only Chu Tianyang had broken through to the Martial Emperor Realm; everyone else, including the Holy Body Chu Yan, was only a Martial King.

"Chu Yan is not far from Martial Emperor either!"

To become a Seven-Star Family, there must be at least one Seventh-Rank Martial Venerable and seven Sixth-Rank Martial Emperors.

Moreover, at this Realm, Breakthroughs are naturally not as fast as they were at the beginning!

Currently, the Chu Family has one Martial Emperor and three Martial Kings, which is still a long way from becoming a Seven-Star Family!

"However, Chu Tianyang, who possesses the All-Spirit Saint Body, will definitely be the first to Breakthrough to the Seventh-Rank Martial Venerable!"

After all, his All-Spirit Saint Body is very suitable for Cultivation; in terms of Cultivation speed alone, he is even faster than Chu Yan!

Of course, this is assuming Chu Yan does not obtain any Heaven-Defying Opportunity!

"I need to encourage them to enter the Refining Heart Tower to obtain those rewards!"

Then Long Yuan called Chu Jingyue over.

"Greetings, Beast God!"

Chu Jingyue bowed.

"Has Chu Tianyang not come out of the Refining Heart Tower yet?" Long Yuan asked.

"Reporting to Beast God, Old Ancestor has been in there for over a month and there's still no sign of him coming out!"

"He hasn't come out for so long? Could he be trapped by some Heart Demon?" Long Yuan wondered.

Once trapped by a Heart Demon, one either dies or slays the Heart Demon to emerge from the Refining Heart Tower.

Of course, death here is not true death, but death in the illusion of the Refining Heart Tower!

But if so, one would not be able to obtain the treasures within the Refining Heart Tower.

Only by slaying the Heart Demon and elevating one's state of mind to a higher level can one obtain the rewards he placed within!

"Don't worry, nothing will happen. The main purpose of the Refining Heart Tower is to temper one's state of mind. If you have nothing to do, you can also enter the Refining Heart Tower to try!"

"Yes!"

"And there are some treasures I placed inside!"

"For example, Constitution Evolution Pill, Breakthrough Pill, and even Saint-Grade Physique and Saint-Grade Martial Soul Origins. If you can defeat your Heart Demon and pass the mental tempering within, you might obtain these treasures!"

"Among them, the Constitution Evolution Pill can evolve your Physique to the next major Rank, the Breakthrough Pill can Breakthrough any Realm including Martial Emperor, and as for the function of those Origins, I think you know their purpose even if I don't say it!"

Chu Jingyue's eyes widened. There were so many supreme treasures in that pagoda?

And there were even treasures like Constitution Evolution Pill and Breakthrough Pill?

"So now do you understand the purpose of that Refining Heart Tower being located there?"

"From now on, apart from those who have made significant contributions to the Family who can directly receive rewards from me, others who wish to obtain Heaven-Defying Opportunities can only challenge the Refining Heart Tower!"

"Don't let it go to waste. I hope those rewards can be obtained by the clansmen as soon as possible, after all, the purpose of me placing those treasures is to enhance the Chu Family's strength!"

Chu Jingyue was so excited he could barely contain himself. The Beast God's kindness to their Chu Family was beyond words!

He could only kneel on the ground to show his respect.

"Alright, no need for this. The current Chu Family is still far from our goal!"

"After returning, you must Cultivate well and develop the Family well!"

"Yes, Kyoto Yue will not fail the Beast God's trust!"

After Chu Jingyue left, Long Yuan continued to Cultivate. He wanted to try to Cultivate to the Divine-Grade before the Family broke through to Seven-Star.

After Chu Jingyue returned to the Family, he began to promote the function of the Refining Heart Tower.

Of course, he didn't mention a single word about the supreme treasures within; those things could not be revealed.

"Tempering the state of mind?"

"I'll go try!" Chu Zhan became interested.

Without another word, he directly entered the Refining Heart Tower.

Currently, many Chu Family members have already begun to migrate to the nine-layered spatial world, but only Martial Artists and pregnant women have entered!

Because if pregnant women are nourished by the essence of Heaven And Earth for a long time during pregnancy, the children born in the future will not only have a greater chance of becoming Martial Artists than under normal circumstances, but also a much higher chance of possessing special Physiques.

This is also why those aristocratic Families are more likely to give birth to Geniuses and Prodigies!

Now the Chu Family is vast, and they are extremely caring towards pregnant women.

Any Heaven And Earth Treasure that the Family has and is useful to them will be given to them!

This is also laying the foundation for the next generation!

As for ordinary people who cannot Cultivate, they can only stay in Qingyang City!

Who said this world isn't so realistic!
