130: Martial arts breaks through, purple energy comes from the east

Two months passed in a flash.

Qingyuan Sect, Yuhua Peak.

Inside the Cultivation room, Han Li's body was enveloped in a majestic Aura.

The Aura circulated, forming visible vortices.

With each breath, Spiritual Qi was inhaled and exhaled.

Seated cross-legged on a meditation cushion, Han Li remained motionless. Suddenly, he opened his eyes, and the swirling Qi around him instantly vanished.

"It's done!"

Han Li's eyes gleamed with delight.

After two months of arduous Cultivation, he had finally completed the advancement of Qing Yuan Skill.

Breaking through to Perfection was not the pinnacle of Qing Yuan Skill. A month ago, he had already reached the Perfection stage, breaking through to the next stage, the final stage of advancement.

Qing Yuan Skill broke through the final stage of Perfection, reaching the Unity of Heaven and Man.

Only by breaking through to Unity of Heaven and Man did it reach the stage where it could be evolved.

Of course, continued Cultivation could also improve his own cultivation.

However, having reached the stage where it could be evolved, Han Li naturally wouldn't Cultivate it further.

Azure Wood Earth Emperor Skill was his best choice.

Although it was currently still in the Minor Achievement stage, the True Qi quality was already comparable to the Perfection-grade Qing Yuan Skill.

This was the difference.

Minor Achievement, Major Achievement, Peak, Perfection, Unity of Heaven and Man!

This was the progression of Qing Yuan Skill; upon reaching Unity of Heaven and Man, it could be evolved.

Different Cultivation Techniques had different potentials, and their advancements also varied more significantly.

Qing Yuan Skill (Unity of Heaven and Man 100%) [Evolvable]!

Looking at the displayed panel, Han Li's eyes were bright.

From the panel, Qing Yuan Skill seemed capable of further advancement, but Han Li no longer needed it.

Cultivating two Cultivation Techniques would disperse too much of his energy.

Advancing Azure Wood Earth Emperor Skill, even a single stage difference, was extremely significant.

With a thought, Han Li instantly began the evolution.

"Buzz—!"

Inside his Dantian, the True Qi of Qing Yuan Skill instantly disappeared, leaving only the Azure Wood Earth Emperor True Qi.

The earthy yellow True Qi illuminated his Dantian.

Upon successful evolution, Han Li also obtained a Demonic Origin.

Without hesitation, he instantly injected it into the Azure Wood Earth Emperor Skill.

"Buzz—!!!"

Earthy yellow light bloomed, illuminating the entire Cultivation room.

Han Li instantly felt the rapid changes in his True Qi.

It directly completed a stage of True Qi transformation and continued to advance without stopping.

—

After a while, everything ceased. Han Li opened his eyes and introspected his Dantian.

Inside his body, dense earthy yellow True Qi flowed like liquid within his Dantian.

The amount of True Qi had increased severalfold compared to before.

Its quality was better, and the Aura it emitted was even more profound.

"With the current True Qi, I should be able to unleash more than half the power of the Zhuxian Bow."

Han Li's thoughts flickered.

With a thought, he opened all his panels.

name: Han Li.

Realm: Xiantian Second Realm Middle Stage!

Divine Ability: Thunder Gods Wrath (Third Realm 85%) Peerless Might of Heaven and Earth (Second Realm 79%) Sky Dragon Suppressing Prison (Second Realm 52%) Taiqing Sword Intent (Second Realm 86%) Devouring Heaven and Earth (First Realm 91%!)

"Peak, directly skipping Major Achievement, advancing by nearly two stages..."

Han Li's eyes were bright.

Moreover, it was only fifteen percent away from the next stage of transformation.

Other Divine Abilities and martial arts also saw significant improvements.

"Devouring Heaven and Earth has reached ninety-one percent. Further advancement should lead to a Breakthrough."

Han Li came back to his senses.

The Divine Ability of Devouring Heaven and Earth was even more powerful than Dragon Elephant Divine Fist.

More importantly, once it broke through, his speed when activating Kun Peng Transformation Art would be even faster.

It might even double or more.

A key point was that the advancement of Kun Peng Transformation Art could also ignore Formation confinements.

With another Breakthrough, even against a Divine Aperture Realm magnate, Han Li would be confident in retreating easily.

"And that violet spirit essence pill from the Sect Leader. If I consume it, breaking through to the Second Realm Late Stage wouldn't be a problem, but if I want to charge into the Innate Purple Qi Realm, that might still be a bit short..."

Han Li took out the violet spirit essence pill, thought for a moment, and temporarily sealed it away.

He planned to use it after advancing to the Second Realm Late Stage, to see if he could break through to the Innate Purple Qi Realm in one go.

The Azure Wood Earth Emperor Skill's True Qi was powerful, so breaking through was not that easy.

Being invincible among peers of the same Realm also required paying a corresponding price.

This was a law.

Even if he couldn't break through to the Innate Purple Qi Realm, the medicinal power of the violet spirit essence pill would be enough to raise him by a minor level.

After checking his cultivation, Han Li concentrated and examined his mental will and Soul. Within his Heavenly Court, Han Li's Soul sat in the center.

Having Cultivated the Heavenly Evolution Divine Art, his Soul had improved significantly, becoming more solid.

Moreover, in the center of his mental Soul, a special flame had appeared.

The Fire of Spirit!

This was a spiritual flame that could only be condensed when the Soul reached a certain level.

As long as the Divine Fire remained, the Spirit would not die!

Under normal circumstances, one could only manifest their Soul after breaking through to Divine Aperture Realm, and only through personal advancement could the Fire of Spirit slowly evolve.

His previous advancements, absorbing the essence of monsters to evolve his Soul, and then Cultivating the Heavenly Evolution Divine Art to strengthen his Soul, was also his unique method of advancement.

The core lay within his Heaven and Earth Demon Seed.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have reached his current level of mental Soul.

"With my current Soul level, I can also Cultivate the mental attack techniques within it."

Withdrawing his consciousness, Han Li opened his eyes.

The Heavenly Evolution Divine Art contained a top-tier mental attack technique.

However, it required a certain level of Soul to Cultivate; otherwise, once overused, it would cause significant damage to one's own Spirit.

Before, time was tight, and he had only recently condensed his mental Soul, which was not yet very stable, so he hadn't Cultivated it.

This mental attack technique was a set, Heaven Evolution Divine Strike.

Heaven Evolution Divine Strike contained three different attack techniques.

Celestial God Pierce, Soul Vortex, and Divine Presence!

Three different attack techniques, forming the entire set of Heaven Evolution Divine Strike.

Among them, Celestial God Pierce was relatively easier to Cultivate.

Using the mental Soul to condense a Celestial God Pierce, which was a spiritual thorn, it could silently pierce through others' Souls, annihilating them.

It was impossible to guard against.

Of course, this required a powerful Soul to Cultivate. A Martial Artist's Qi and blood could defend against Soul attacks. To silently annihilate a Soul, one's own Soul must be able to easily withstand the Qi and blood of others.

Having condensed the Fire of Spirit, Han Li could easily resist the Qi and blood of a Xiantian martial artist.

Cultivating Celestial God Pierce, a single strike could achieve annihilation.

Of course, this was theoretical; the actual situation would depend on the extent of one's Cultivation.

The more Celestial God Pierce condensed, the stronger the Soul required to support it.

A wondrous mental technique, killing invisibly.

The second, Soul Vortex, could devour others' Souls. Activated by one's own Soul, it created a Soul Vortex to devour others' Souls and strengthen one's own Soul.

This point was also extremely overbearing.

However, it also required caution; if the devouring failed, one's own mental Soul might collapse.

A single mistake, and one's Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering.

Moreover, devouring others' Souls required one's own Soul to surpass them; otherwise, if it couldn't be suppressed and shattered, it would naturally suffer a backlash.

And the final Divine Presence, this was the most mysterious of the three attack techniques of Heaven Evolution Divine Strike.

Using one's own will to summon a Demon God to descend and fight for oneself.

However, Cultivating Divine Presence required at least reaching the Yuanshen Realm; otherwise, it would be impossible to succeed.

To reach the Primordial Spirit, his Soul was more than a hundred thousand miles away.

And this type of attack technique was also very dangerous. To summon, one first needed to subdue the Demon God and use one's own Primordial Spirit to resist the Demon God's seductive attacks.

Otherwise, not only would it fail, but one would also be tempted by the Demon God, whose invasion of the Primordial Spirit would eventually lead to Qi Deviation, becoming a Demon God Puppet, a walking corpse that only knew slaughter.

And there was more than one type of summoned Demon God, but many.

Slaughter, Destruction, Void Realm... Summoning each type of Demon God also carried great danger. If not subdued beforehand, the summoned Demon God would directly target oneself, leading to disaster.

To be able to develop such an eerie and wondrous technique, that was truly a damn genius.

"That Grand Elder from back then might have suffered Qi Deviation because of Divine Presence..." Han Li came back to his senses, a conjecture surfacing in his mind.

Legend had it that he suffered an invasion by a Heavenly Demon and underwent Qi Deviation, but now it seemed highly likely that it was due to summoning a Demon God, being unable to resist the Demon God's temptation, and ultimately suffering Qi Deviation.

However, this Grand Elder did not die but was in the underworld, which also proved his strength.

Extremely powerful.

It also proved the terror of the Divine Presence technique. At the very least, Han Li would not easily attempt it without having cultivated to the Primordial Spirit stage.

To try it would be to die.

"Let's Cultivate Celestial God Pierce first. Forget Divine Presence, even for Soul Vortex, my current mental Soul is still far from enough."

Exhaling a breath, Han Li then closed his eyes and began to Cultivate.

This was Han Li's first time Cultivating mental attack techniques.

He naturally wouldn't miss out on such a unique attack technique.

Besides Cultivating Heaven Evolution Divine Strike, he also needed to Cultivate the martial arts of Azure Wood Earth Emperor Skill.

However, for now, he would first focus on Heaven Evolution Divine Strike. Once it reached the Minor Achievement stage, he would then Cultivate the martial arts of Azure Wood Earth Emperor Skill... A month passed.

Qingyuan Sect had already returned to tranquility.

Yuhua Peak remained quiet. Although many Disciples wanted to visit, Han Li had not emerged from his seclusion, so they had no choice.

On a mountain Peak behind Yuhua Peak, a golden light flashed, and a figure seemed to appear out of thin air, descending onto the back mountain of Yuhua Peak.

It was Han Li.

After a month of Cultivation, he had also made great progress.

Devouring Heaven and Earth successfully broke through the First Realm, reaching the Second Realm.

However, even after breaking through to the Second Realm, the grade of Kun Peng Transformation Art remained unchanged; it was still Heaven-Grade Medium Grade.

Han Li estimated that it would need to reach the Third Realm stage for Kun Peng Transformation Art to break through to a higher grade.

Although it didn't break through in grade, the power of this Divine Ability had increased significantly.

More importantly, his speed also increased by more than double.

In one breath, he could traverse over two hundred li.

Of course, this was under extreme conditions.

Han Li couldn't sustain it for too long.

The further the distance traversed, the greater the True Qi consumption.

Two hundred li in one breath was enough to completely drain the True Qi of a Xiantian Second Realm Martial Artist.

Even with the Azure Wood Earth Emperor Skill, which transformed his True Qi and significantly surpassed and crushed others in grade, he could only last for less than a hundred breaths.

However, this distance was sufficient; a hundred breaths were enough for him to travel over twenty thousand li.

If he couldn't shake off pursuers with that distance, then he was basically done for.

Standing on the Peak, Han Li waved his hand, and a flash of light appeared, followed by a 'bang'. A two-zhang huge black-furred wild boar appeared not far from him.

A strong demonic Qi permeated the air, and the creature landed heavily, its crimson eyes emitting extreme Killing Intent.

This was a Peak-level monster demon that Han Li had captured from the Demon Suppressing Valley.

Shaking its head, the black-furred wild boar monster suddenly regained consciousness. Upon seeing Han Li's figure, it immediately let out a roar, and a hint of fear appeared in its crimson eyes.

Looking at the black-furred wild boar monster, Han Li's mind stirred, and an invisible spike appeared.

Invisible to the naked eye, this was the Celestial God Pierce, condensed from his mental will.

With a thought, the Celestial God Pierce instantly vanished.

The next breath, the black-furred wild boar monster seemed to have been struck by a body-fixing spell.

Suddenly, its life force disappeared, and a wisp of blood Qi emerged, flowing into his body.

Instant kill, Soul annihilation, death.

The corpse fell to the ground, its demonic Qi still not dissipated.

"It seems there are no problems."

Looking at the dead black-furred wild boar monster, Han Li's eyes showed satisfaction.

In one month, he had finally Cultivated the Heaven Evolution Divine Strike to the Minor Achievement stage. Currently, he could condense the Celestial God Pierce to silently kill enemies.

This black-furred wild boar monster was his sixth test subject.

The attack of the Celestial God Pierce was undefendable; only those with strong Souls could perceive and dodge it.

Instant kill.

Multiple tests also confirmed this result.

However, Han Li couldn't use it recklessly, as condensing the Celestial God Pierce consumed his mental and Soul power.

If he over-consumed, others might not die, but he himself might perish first.

The Celestial God Pierce was suitable for assassination and sneak attacks.

In a direct confrontation, it was not easy.

The Martial Artist's Qi and True Qi were not so easy to Break through.

The stronger the strength, the more difficult it was, so sneak attacks and assassinations were more appropriate.

If the Celestial God Pierce was used openly, a Martial Artist's perception was not to be underestimated.

Although the Soul and spirit were not manifested, a Martial Artist's perception was also very keen.

In the midst of a fierce battle, a sudden strike would achieve an unexpected effect.

After all, his current Soul and spirit were not strong enough to be used recklessly.

"It's considered an entry-level skill."

With a wave of his hand, Han Li put away the black-furred wild boar monster's corpse.

Immediately, his figure disappeared from the back mountain Peak... Inside the Cultivation room, Han Li opened his panel to check.

Heaven Evolution Divine Strike (Minor Achievement 15%)

"Compared to other martial arts, mental arts are more difficult to Cultivate."

Han Li smacked his lips, then closed the panel.

Concentrating, he then began to examine the Azure Wood Earth Emperor Skill's martial arts.

Azure Emperor Wood Monarch Fist!

This was the配套 martial arts of the Azure Wood Earth Emperor Skill.

Like the Dragon Elephant Divine Fist, it was also an extreme offensive martial arts.

There were a total of twelve forms, and the power of each form was enormous.

Now, he could fully Cultivate it.

With the Heaven Evolution Divine Strike reaching Minor Achievement, he could focus on improving it, and then simultaneously enhance his other Divine Abilities to reach the next stage. In this way, his Cultivation would be considered complete.

Finally, he would use the violet spirit essence pill to see if he could attempt to charge into the Innate Purple Qi Realm.

If he Broke through this Realm, his strength would inevitably surge, reaching an even higher level.

This would also make his upcoming "Demon Slaughtering Plan" more successful.

Closing his eyes, he comprehended the Azure Emperor Wood Monarch Fist. His powerful spirit made it easier for him to Cultivate successfully.

An hour passed, and Han Li had a clear understanding in his heart. The next moment, his figure vanished into thin air from the Cultivation room.

Appearing at the Peak of the back mountain, Han Li composed himself, his True Qi activated, and an earthy yellow light bloomed.

His Aura swirled around him as he began to Cultivate.

— —

Two months passed again.

Winter, another heavy snow fell.

Qingyuan Sect, covered in white snow, adorned in silver.

Yuhua Peak, back mountain, a certain Peak.

While other Peaks were covered in white snow, this particular Peak showed no trace of it.

The falling snowflakes were pushed away by an invisible force.

For two months, Han Li had basically been Cultivating on Yuhua Peak.

He hadn't taken a single step out.

"Boom—!!"

A deafening roar echoed from the Peak, and countless stones were utterly destroyed.

Dust billowed, and Han Li's figure emerged from the dust.

After two months of arduous Cultivation, he had directly advanced the Azure Emperor Wood Monarch Fist to the Perfection stage in one go.

Derived Divine Ability.

Stepping out of the dust, Han Li's figure moved, instantly arriving in the main hall of Yuhua Peak.

Compared to two months ago, his Aura had become even more profound.

Although he hadn't yet stepped into the Peak of the Acquired Realm, his strength was improving daily.

Sitting on a chair, Han Li poured himself a cup of hot tea.

He opened the panel to check.

name: Han Li.

Realm: Xiantian Second Realm Late Stage!

martial arts: Azure Wood Earth Emperor Skill Heaven-Grade High Grade (Profound 3%) Life-奪ing Spear Technique Earth-Grade High Grade (Perfection) Ben Lei Fist Earth-Grade Medium Grade (Perfection) Dragon Elephant Overlord Body Art Heaven-Grade Low Grade (Peak of Perfection 2%) Dragon Elephant Divine Fist Heaven-Grade Medium Grade (Perfection) Taiqing Shadowless Swordplay Earth-Grade High Grade (Perfection) Kun Peng Transformation Art Heaven-Grade Medium Grade (Perfection) Heavenly Evolution Divine Art Heaven-Grade High Grade (Entry Level 3%) Heaven Evolution Divine Strike Heaven-Grade High Grade (Major Achievement 65%) Azure Emperor Wood Monarch Fist Heaven-Grade High Grade (Perfection)

"Not bad."

Looking at the panel, Han Li took a sip of tea and nodded.

With the Breakthrough of the Azure Emperor Wood Monarch Fist, a Derived Divine Ability, Azure Emperor Dharma Image, Han Li had gained another trump card.

The power of the Derived Divine Ability instantly surged.

This was his first Heaven-Grade High Grade martial arts to derive a Divine Ability.

Compared to the Heaven Evolution Divine Strike, it seemed easier to Cultivate.

His Heaven Evolution Divine Strike had not yet reached Perfection.

Mental arts were exceptionally difficult to Cultivate.

He started Cultivating the Azure Emperor Wood Monarch Fist later, but the Heaven Evolution Divine Strike was even more difficult. In two months, it had only reached half of Major Achievement, still some distance from Perfection. He estimated that even another month might not be enough.

The main reason was the improvement of his own spirit and Soul, which was different from other martial arts.

Putting down his teacup, Han Li looked at the falling snowflakes outside.

"Two months of accumulation, now, it should be about time. Success or failure, it all depends on this one attempt!"

Drinking the hot tea in his cup in one gulp, Han Li's figure disappeared from the main hall.

Sitting cross-legged on the futon, Han Li took out the violet spirit essence pill given to him by the Sect Leader, and without hesitation, swallowed it directly.

"Rumble—!!!"

Upon swallowing the violet spirit essence pill, a vast medicinal power, like a surging ocean, washed over his body. Sounds like thunder rumbled, reverberating within the Cultivation room.

On his skin, a dense earthy yellow light emerged, enveloping his entire body.

A vast Aura flowed, compressing the very air.

The earthy yellow light grew increasingly intense, shining brilliantly.

The Azure Wood Earth Emperor Skill circulated, and the boundless medicinal power was rapidly absorbed.

Han Li began to charge into the Innate Purple Qi Realm.

As the circulation of the heavens continued, the Aura on his body also grew stronger... Time passed minute by minute.

For three days, the door to the Cultivation room remained tightly shut.

And at this moment, outside Yuhua Peak, a figure appeared, Wu Wudi.

Standing in the Void Realm, he looked at Yuhua Peak, then his figure flashed, silently passing through Yuhua Peak's Formation and descending into the main hall.

"Cultivation room, Junior Brother Han is still Cultivating?" Wu Wuji was a little surprised.

Since returning from the Nine Provinces Tournament, Han Li had been in seclusion. He had originally planned to visit today, but he hadn't expected Han Li to still be Cultivating.

This period of seclusion was quite long.

"Since he's still Cultivating, I won't disturb him." Wu Wuji had this thought, and was about to leave, when he suddenly stopped.

"Buzz—!!!"

Yuhua Peak, a vast Aura swept forth, shaking the white snow.

In the sky, the falling white snow was shattered by the powerful Aura, unable to descend.

Inside the main hall, Wu Wuji's gaze turned towards the Cultivation room.

"Innate Purple Qi..."

Wu Wuji's pupils slightly contracted.

Han Li's Breakthrough speed was astonishing.

In just a few months, he had already reached the Innate Purple Qi Realm.

This Cultivation speed was indeed somewhat terrifying.

In the thousand-year history of the Qingyuan Sect, it was absolutely unprecedented.

After nearly three years of entry, he had suddenly reached the Peak of the Acquired Realm.

After Breaking through to Xiantian, he was even faster than before.

"Six-star talent, this must be an Immortal-grade talent, right?"

Wu Wuji looked towards the Cultivation room, where a powerful Aura permeated, far surpassing that of an ordinary Peak of the Acquired Realm.

The emitted Aura, though incomparable to the God Realm, was absolutely invincible among Xiantian martial artists.

Above and below Yuhua Peak, a layer of purple light shone forth.

Purple Qi from the East!

This was a Heaven and Earth phenomenon that only occurred when Breaking through to the Innate Purple Qi Realm!

And at this moment, within the Cultivation room, boundless Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi converged, and Han Li instantly opened his eyes.

All around his body, a layer of golden light permeated.

Upon Breaking through to the Peak of the Acquired Realm, his True Qi underwent a fundamental change, directly transforming from earthy yellow to golden.

The True Qi in his Dantian flowed like molten gold.

Twelve thousand, seeking support!!!
