103: Tianlong Prison Suppression Taiqing Sword Intent

Two days later.

On Yuhua Peak, the tightly shut Cultivation chamber door opened, and Han Li’s figure stepped out.

With the aid of the blood essence stone, Han Li had completely stabilized his Realm in two days, and at the same time, all of his True Qi had transformed into Innate True Qi.

Breakthrough to Innate.

His Physical Body had transformed, and his strength had increased to 160,000 jun of power.

This was even more powerful than the Xiantian Second Realm.

The journey to the Underground Palace Secret Realm allowed him to make a complete Breakthrough in a short period of time.

“Buzz—!”

Activating his Innate True Qi, a faint layer of light enveloped his entire body, lifting Han Li’s physique.

“Whoosh!”

The next second, he soared into the sky in one step, disappearing directly from Yuhua Hall.

On Yuhua Peak, a hundred zhang above the ground, Han Li’s figure appeared in the Void Realm.

Standing in the Void Realm, invisible Innate True Qi circulated around him.

“The feeling of flying… it’s not bad.”

Looking down at Yuhua Peak, Han Li’s figure disappeared again. After flying a few circles around Yuhua Peak, he landed in front of the Yuhua Hall plaza.

Standing on the plaza, Han Li looked inward at his Dantian. Inside his Dantian, liquid True Qi flowed.

Having broken through to Innate and completed the True Qi transformation, Han Li could clearly perceive the difference between Innate True Qi and Acquired True Qi.

It was more than a tenfold difference.

Liquid True Qi was completely incomparable to gaseous True Qi.

Withdrawing his thoughts, Han Li looked into the distance.

“First, I need to change my identity token.”

With that thought, Han Li’s figure instantly vanished from his spot… In a short while, having traversed dozens of miles, Han Li arrived in front of a grand hall.

His figure descended from the sky, immediately attracting the attention of many Disciples.

“This is… Senior Brother Han Li!”

An Inner Sect Disciple stared at the descending figure, his expression stunned.

Upon landing before the grand hall, Han Li strode quickly towards its interior.

Only after Han Li entered the hall did the Disciples outside recover their senses.

“Was that Senior Brother Han Li just now?” an Inner Sect Disciple asked.

“It was him,” another Disciple nodded.

“He just… flew over?”

“It seems so.”

“Could it be that he has already broken through to Innate?” another Disciple speculated.

“Nonsense! During the Mountain and River Tournament, he was only in the Vein Opening Realm Late Stage. How long has it been? How could he be Innate?!”

“But how did he fly?”

“Only by breaking through to Innate can one fly!”

...After a brief silence, the outside instantly erupted.

At this moment, Han Li arrived in a room. In front of him stood a middle-aged man.

Manager Wu, who had once led him into the sect!

“Han Li, you… have you really broken through to Innate?” Manager Wu asked, looking at Han Li.

“Buzz—!”

Han Li’s Aura spread, filling the room. Manager Wu, who was close by, instantly sensed his Aura.

Innate!

This was the Aura that could only be produced by breaking through to the Innate Realm.

Innate True Qi and Acquired True Qi were completely different.

“Is he… human?”

Manager Wu’s mind was in turmoil. Han Li looked at the somewhat dazed Manager Wu and quickly spoke, “Manager Wu, can I change my identity token now?”

“Yes, no problem, I’ll change it for you right away!” Manager Wu nodded, taking Han Li’s identity token.

“Wait a moment.” With that, Manager Wu stepped out of the room.

Han Li then sat down to wait… In a grand hall on a magnificent peak of the Qingyuan Sect, a figure quickly stepped out.

It was the Grand Elder of the Qingyuan Sect.

He held a sound transmission bell in his hand, his expression astonished.

“Han Li has broken through to Innate…”

The Grand Elder stared blankly, looking at the sound transmission bell in his hand, his pupils contracting.

Immediately, his figure moved, quickly disappearing from the grand hall… After changing his identity token, Han Li also obtained his new identity as a True Disciple.

Stepping out of the grand hall, he went directly to Heaven and Earth Peak.

Arriving at Heaven and Earth Peak, Han Li entered the Merit Hall, spending five million merit points to exchange for a hundred Comprehension Pills.

“A hundred pills should be enough to Cultivate the Dragon Elephant Divine Fist to Perfection!”

Stepping out of Heaven and Earth Peak, Han Li then headed towards Yuhua Peak.

Next, his focus would be on Cultivating the Dragon Elephant Divine Fist.

Once a Heaven-Rank Martial Arts reached Perfection and gave birth to a Divine Ability, his strength would also enter a new stage… On Yuhua Peak, in the plaza outside the grand hall, Han Li’s figure descended from the sky.

“Grand Elder!”

Seeing a figure in front of the grand hall, Han Li recognized him at a glance.

And seeing Han Li descend from the sky, the Grand Elder’s gaze also fell upon him.

“Swish—!”

Before Han Li could even greet him, the Grand Elder’s figure instantly appeared before him.

His eyes stared intently at him.

“Disciple greets the Grand Elder.”

Han Li cupped his hands and bowed in salute.

“It truly is Innate!” the Grand Elder’s voice rang out.

Han Li looked up. Hearing this, he was not surprised, as it must have been Manager Wu who spread the news.

However, there was nothing to hide. Breaking through to Innate was a major event within the Qingyuan Sect.

“Disciple just broke through recently,” Han Li said.

“Hahahahaha, good, excellent, excellent,” the Grand Elder laughed heartily, his smile very bright.

“It seems your gains in the Underground Palace Secret Realm were not small, to break through so quickly. You have truly broken the record of our Qingyuan Sect,” the Grand Elder said, smiling at Han Li.

“Disciple also had some Opportunity. The path of martial arts is still long, and Disciple will not be negligent,” Han Li said.

“Very good, not being complacent, that’s how you can achieve higher Breakthroughs,” the Grand Elder nodded.

“Grand Elder, is there anything else?” Han Li asked.

“I came to see you. The Sect Leader is not here; he went to the Central Continent. I am currently in charge of all matters within the sect. I will announce your Breakthrough to Innate to the entire sect.”

The Grand Elder said.

“The Sect Leader went to the Central Continent!”

Han Li’s heart skipped a beat as he listened to the Grand Elder’s words.

The Central Continent, that was an extremely distant place.

It was more than ten thousand miles away from the Wu Dynasty.

Han Li also knew about this place.

The human world was divided into five directions.

East, South, West, North, Central!

The five continents formed the prosperous human world.

In addition to the five continents, there were also countless overseas islands.

The Nine Provinces of the Wu Dynasty were vast, but they were only a part, not even one-tenth of the entire Southern Continent.

Crossing continents, ordinary people could not travel out of it in their entire lives.

“Also, you can choose one of the masterless peaks within the sect to be your Dao field,” the Grand Elder’s voice rang out.

Han Li came back to his senses, looked at the Grand Elder, and said, “Grand Elder, can Disciple just stay on Yuhua Peak? Grand Elder, you know that the Yuhua Peak lineage has few people, and other Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters also have their own Dao fields. Disciple wants to just stay on Yuhua Peak.”

“Hmm…” The Grand Elder lowered his head, pondered for a moment, and then said, “That’s fine, no problem.”

“Thank you, Grand Elder,” Han Li bowed.

“But are you sure you don’t want your own Dao field?” the Grand Elder asked, looking at him.

Han Li smiled, “Disciple has thought it through. Yuhua Peak as a Dao field is enough. Disciple is just one person, it would be a waste otherwise. Yuhua Peak has abundant Spiritual Qi, and it’s sufficient.”

“Alright, if that’s the case, then this old man will say no more,” the Grand Elder nodded.

Immediately, after chatting with Han Li for a while, he left.

Watching the Grand Elder leave, Han Li also stepped into Yuhua Hall… The next day, the news of Han Li’s Breakthrough to Innate quickly spread throughout the entire sect.

This news also caused a stir throughout the Qingyuan Sect.

The quiet Yuhua Peak once again became the focus of the entire sect.

Han Li’s name once again spread throughout the Qingyuan Sect.

Achieving Innate in just over a year since joining the sect, this also broke the historical record of the Qingyuan Sect.

Han Li also became a new peak.

Yuhua Peak also became lively, with many True Disciples visiting.

Han Li did not turn them away and got to know many True Disciples.

For several consecutive days, Yuhua Peak almost daily had True Disciples visiting.

There were also Elders and Managers.

Han Li’s name, among the Inner Sect Disciples, almost became a legend.

In a few days, Han Li received over a hundred True Disciples, as well as Elders and Managers.

Other peaks also sent people to congratulate him.

Out of the thirty-five peaks, almost all of them came, except for Tiandu Peak.

Although some of these lineages were at odds with Yuhua Peak, Han Li was aware of it, but as the saying goes, one doesn’t hit a smiling face, so he naturally didn’t turn them away.

As for the Tiandu Peak lineage, Han Li didn’t take it to heart.

As long as they didn’t provoke him, if they did, he wouldn’t be polite… Yuhua Hall, as the lively days faded, returned to its quiet state.

Now, he was the only one left.

The few Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters who were in the sect had all come. As for the other Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters, except for the Eldest Senior Brother who couldn’t be contacted, all the other Senior Brothers had sent their blessings.

The last Disciple of Yuhua Peak had also completely stepped into Innate.

An Innate lineage.

Among the thirty-six peaks, this was unique.

In a few days, Han Li received so many gifts that his hands were sore.

Each True Disciple, Elder, and Manager was not stingy with their offerings.

This wave also increased his wealth.

However, this was also something that needed to be repaid. martial arts Cultivation was not just about fighting and killing; it also involved human relationships.

Due to the several days of liveliness, Han Li had to stop his Cultivation, after all, when people visited, he couldn’t possibly refuse to see them… Three months passed.

Yuhua Peak returned to silence, but Han Li’s reputation remained undiminished.

On Yuhua Peak, in the back mountain, a Dragon roar echoed, shaking Yuhua Peak from top to bottom, and a vast Divine Might swept across Yuhua Peak.

In the back mountain, Han Li stood on the Void Realm, with eight white Dragons appearing behind him, each ten zhang tall, like true Sky Dragons descending.

Aura soaring to the sky!

The eight white Dragons occupied all directions.

Divine Might unparalleled!

Han Li struck out with a fist, and the eight white Dragons moved, a Dragon roar sounded, condensing a golden light seal that swept out like an overwhelming tide.

Wherever the golden seal passed, the air collapsed, and the ultimate strike directly carved a clear mark in the sky.

The powerful shockwave shattered the white clouds in the sky, shaking the Void Realm.

His figure descended from the sky, landing on the back mountain.

The phenomenon also completely disappeared.

After three months of Cultivation, with the aid of a large number of Comprehension Pills, Han Li successfully Cultivated the Dragon Elephant Divine Fist to the Perfection stage.

Not only that, but he also completely perfected the Taiqing Shadowless Swordplay, which similarly gave birth to a Divine Ability.

The Breakthrough in martial arts was earth-shattering!

Several martial arts all reached the point of deriving Divine Abilities.

Their power also became earth-shattering!

The gap between martial arts that have derived Divine Abilities and those that haven’t is like a chasm; the stronger the martial arts, the greater the gap.

Calming the fluctuating True Qi within him, Han Li retracted all his Aura and looked at the panel that appeared before him.

name: Han Li.

Realm: Innate First Realm Early Stage!

martial arts: Divine Travel Eight Desolations Profound-Grade High Grade (Perfection), Qing Yuan Skill Earth Rank High Grade (Mastery 35%), Life-奪ing Spear Technique Earth-Grade Low Grade (Perfection), Ben Lei Fist Profound-Grade High Grade (Perfection), Dragon Elephant Overlord Body Art Heaven-Rank Low Grade (Mastery 6%), Dragon Elephant Divine Fist Heaven-Rank Low Grade (Perfection), Taiqing Shadowless Swordplay Earth Rank High Grade (Perfection).

Heaven and Earth Demon Seed: (Level 5 1%).

Demonic Origin: 0.

Looking at the panel information, Han Li frowned.

Dragon Elephant Divine Fist was his strongest martial arts at the moment, and the Divine Ability derived from it was also the strongest; even if it was only in the First Realm, its power surpassed his current level.

However, even though a Divine Ability was derived, the martial arts grade of Dragon Elephant Divine Fist did not change.

“Does the advancement of Heaven-Rank Martial Arts require reaching the Second Realm to undergo a transformation?”

A thought appeared in his mind.

Han Li couldn't be sure, but he guessed it was probably close to that.

The stronger the martial arts, the harder it was to improve.

However, whether this was the case, he would only know in the future.

“At least the power is far greater than before.”

Han Li closed the panel, and his figure moved, instantly disappearing from the cliff...

Inside Yuhua Hall, Han Li's figure appeared.

Sitting on a chair in the main hall, Han Li's gaze turned towards outside the hall.

Having broken through to the Innate Realm, and with his martial arts currently at Perfection, he was now ready for his next step.

His original dream was to explore this vast world.

Aside from Qingzhou, Han Li had not been to any other places.

Imagination and reality were completely different.

However, besides traveling, he couldn't forget about improving.

Killing to gain blood essence was his fastest path to improvement.

“Dark City, Thunderous Ruins... seem to be within Youzhou, and the Three Demonic Sects are also there.”

After pondering for a moment, Han Li set his first goal.

Head to Youzhou!

“Depart tomorrow!”

...

A day passed quickly, and Han Li also made some preparations, mainly gathering information about Youzhou.

Among the Nine Provinces, Youzhou was the most chaotic, and the imperial court's control over Youzhou was the weakest.

Besides the Three Demonic Sects, various local Gangs ran rampant, making it the most chaotic place among the Nine Provinces.

The local Gangs were more or less connected to the Demonic Sects, or rather, they were basically pawns supported by the Three Demonic Sects.

For his first target, Han Li chose to deal with the Demonic Sects.

Of course, he wouldn't be foolish enough to directly confront them in their main strongholds.

However, being alone made it very convenient for him to act.

If he could win, it would be a complete funeral service for them.

If he couldn't win, then he would run away...

Stepping out of Yuhua Peak, Han Li flew to Heaven and Earth Peak.

Entering the main hall, Han Li began to select missions.

He couldn't make a trip for nothing.

He still needed to earn money.

After filtering, Han Li picked three hunting missions.

All three hunting missions were related to the Three Demonic Sects in Youzhou.

Each mission was worth over a million contribution points.

One of the missions even reached three million.

The mission times were also very long, which met Han Li's requirements.

After accepting the three hunting missions, Han Li once again used his contribution points to exchange for some needed items, and then he left Heaven and Earth Peak...

Stepping out of the mountain gate, Han Li gazed into the distance, then brought out his ruyi compass.

This time, he had swapped for the top-tier ruyi compass, which not only included the Nine Provinces of the Wu Dynasty but also covered the entire Southern Continent.

Activating the ruyi compass, Han Li looked at the route map.

“The route happens to pass through the Heaven Severing Mountain Range; I'll go there first.”

Putting away the ruyi compass, Han Li thought, and the Zhan Ling Sword instantly appeared.

With the Qing Yuan Skill reaching the state of Mastery, his True Qi had also improved in quality.

For him, flying with his sword did not consume much.

“Whoosh—!”

Stepping onto the Zhan Ling Sword, Han Li's figure instantly vanished from its original spot, merging into the Void Realm.

—

An hour later, Han Li arrived at the Heaven Severing Mountain Range.

Overcast with dark clouds, it was the same as his last visit, unchanged.

Descending from the Void Realm, Han Li looked out at the Heaven Severing Mountain Range.

Having broken through to Innate, his six senses were even more acute, and he could perceive the dense Demonic Qi and Corpse Qi within.

“I wonder if that Demon Corpse from last time is still here...”

Han Li's eyes flickered, and in the next breath, he took a step four or five zhang long, entering the Heaven Severing Mountain Range.

A chilling Aura permeated the air.

It was already midsummer, but the temperature in the Heaven Severing Mountain Range remained like deep winter.

Han Li delved deeper, heading towards the place where the Demonic Qi and Corpse Qi were most concentrated.

This was his third visit to the Heaven Severing Mountain Range.

Han Li was much more familiar with the path now.

In the time it took for an incense stick to burn, Han Li arrived at the place where the Demon Corpse Demon King had once roamed.

Miasma permeated the air, and dilapidated graves were visible everywhere, like the Nether Land.

Corpse Qi and Demonic Qi mixed, and the dense miasma obstructed vision, but it had little effect on Han Li.

He was already accustomed to such environments from the Misty Forest in the Underground Palace Secret Realm.

Holding the Zhan Ling Sword, Han Li explored the surroundings based on his own perception.

“Roar—!”

A roar came, and from within the miasma, a Demon Corpse charged towards Han Li.

Looking at the approaching Demon Corpse, Han Li's expression remained calm.

A sword shadow materialized behind him, and in an instant, the sword shadow shot out, instantly severing the Demon Corpse's life.

After dealing with the Demon Corpse and sealing its blood essence, Han Li continued deeper.

The Heaven Severing Mountain Range also had many unexplored areas.

Although he had been there twice before, he hadn't explored much on those occasions.

The second time he came alone, he also avoided this area.

Although he had cultivated to the Innate Realm, Han Li was not blindly arrogant.

A Demon Corpse comparable to the Xiantian Second Realm was a tough nut to crack, even for him.

If it weren't for his Dragon Elephant Divine Fist already reaching Perfection, Han Li might not have come...

Continuing to delve deeper, in a short while, Han Li had advanced two li.

The Demonic Qi here was even more intense.

But more than that, it was Corpse Qi.

“Boom—!”

A grave exploded, and a Demon Corpse charged over at an extremely fast speed.

Dense Corpse Qi surged.

“Whoosh!”

The Zhan Ling Sword in his hand moved, a cold light flashed, and in an instant, the Demon Corpse's head was severed.

Sealing the blood essence, Han Li sensed the surrounding environment.

Deep within the dense miasma, a powerful Corpse Qi surged.

“Here it comes!”

Han Li looked in one direction, a solemn expression appearing in his eyes.

Such powerful Corpse Qi surely belonged to a Demon King-level Demon Corpse.

“Whoosh—!”

From within the miasma, a silver light struck.

Han Li raised his hand and clashed with his sword, and a wave of fluctuations instantly shattered the surrounding miasma.

“Clang—!”

The silver light was repelled, Han Li stood rooted to the spot, and not far away, a tall figure appeared in his sight.

Clad in armor, it was precisely the Demon King-level Demon Corpse he had encountered before.

Even with his current cultivation, Han Li could still feel a sense of pressure from an Intermediate Demon King-level Demon Corpse.

“Human, you have guts, daring to trespass into this King's territory!” The Demon Corpse's voice rang out, its emerald green eyes revealing a terrifying gaze.

“Supreme Heartless!”

Han Li struck with his sword, instantly activating the Taiqing Shadowless Swordplay, merging with the sword shadow, and unleashing his strongest sword strike.

The air was torn apart, and the sharp Sword Qi annihilated everything.

“Roar—”

The Demon Corpse let out a roar that shook for several li, brandishing its long spear and directly attacking.

“Boom—!!”

The attacks collided, and a violent explosion sounded.

A vast shockwave swept out, instantly flattening the surrounding graves.

With a single clash, they were evenly matched.

This sword strike did not cause any damage to the Demon Corpse.

The defensive power of an Intermediate Demon King-level Demon Corpse was even more terrifying!

Han Li's expression remained normal, without the slightest surprise.

This sword strike was merely a test.

“You've got some skill, no wonder you dared to trespass into this King's territory.” The Demon Corpse's voice rang out, its green eyes looking at Han Li, and its body moved, instantly disappearing from its original spot.

A strong gust of wind pressed against his face, and a powerful sense of oppression swept over, making it suffocating.

The long spear was like a dragon, arriving in an instant.

“Buzz—!”

A layer of golden light instantly erupted from Han Li's body; the Overlord Body Golden Body was activated instantly.

“Clang—!”

The long spear landed on his body, producing a sound like metal clashing, and Han Li's figure retreated a step.

His clothes on his chest were torn, and a bloodstain appeared on his skin.

However, this minor injury had no effect on him whatsoever.

The complete Vajra Bone had elevated his Overlord Body Golden Body by more than one level.

“Buzz!”

The Zhan Ling Sword in Han Li's hand vibrated, and monstrous Sword Qi erupted.

In the next breath, two hundred sword shadows materialized.

A towering Sword Intent erupted from his body, and the powerful Sword Intent condensed, forming a visible divine sword, a Sword of Intent!

The Divine Ability of Taiqing Shadowless Swordplay, Taiqing Sword Intent, with the enhancement of Sword Intent, directly elevated the power of the swordplay to new heights.

“Slash!”

With a single sword strike, two hundred sword shadows fused with the Sword Intent, plus the power of the Zhan Ling Sword, this attack instantly changed the Demon Corpse's expression.

“Roar—!”

The Demon Corpse let out a roar, and dense Corpse Qi erupted, forming a shield in front of it.

“Boom—!!”

An earth-shattering tremor sounded, and within three hundred zhang, Sword Qi swept across, destroying all the graves and leveling the ground.

The Demon Corpse's shield instantly shattered, and the long spear in its hand was also destroyed by a single sword strike.

The ultimate sword strike!

This was also Han Li's first battle since cultivating to the Innate Realm!

The power enhanced by Taiqing Sword Intent far exceeded his imagination.

With one sword, the earth cracked open, revealing a sword mark several zhang deep.

Dust and smoke rolled, and the Demon Corpse's chest was almost split open.

Having endured this sword strike, the Demon Corpse also sensed a terrifying Aura, and without hesitation, it turned and fled.

“Trying to run!”

Han Li's eyes flashed with cold light, and he took a step, directly giving chase.
