32: To become a martial artist at the Innate Realm and perfect the Path of Profound Yellow.

Relying on your superb Comprehension Ability and powerful Mental Energy, it only took you one month to imbue your True Qi with spirituality.

Three months later, you opened the Bridge of Heaven and Earth. After opening the Bridge of Heaven and Earth, your body connected more deeply with the Origin Qi of heaven and earth, your True Qi became endless and inexhaustible, and you were able to borrow a small amount of the power of heaven and earth.

At the age of 22, you used the 365 acupoints of the Great Heavenly Cycle to locate and open the Mysterious Gate.

The Mysterious Gate is the key to connecting the Innate and the Acquired. It is neither inside nor outside the body, existing in the formless, and can only be located through the acupoints opened within the body.

If the number of opened acupoints is insufficient, one cannot locate the Mysterious Gate, meaning one can never advance to the Innate Realm.

After opening the Mysterious Gate, you officially began the transformation from the True Qi Realm to the Innate Realm.

The first thing to change is the True Qi. After opening the Mysterious Gate, a Martial Artist enters a state deeper than the Unity of Heaven and Man, where the various Dao and principles of heaven and earth are presented before the Martial Artist ten times more clearly than usual.

However, this state does not last long, only for two hours. What a Martial Artist must do at this time is to quickly comprehend the Dao and principles consistent with their own cultivation, and finally integrate this deeper understanding of heaven and earth into their own True Qi.

Until reaching the limit of what their True Qi can bear, the True Qi, which possesses spirituality, will become increasingly refined in that state of harmony with heaven and earth, until it turns into liquid Innate True Essence.

After entering that state, your talent seemed to break through its limits, allowing you to rapidly comprehend the Dao and principles revealed by heaven and earth.

However, you did not delve deeper into the Dao of heaven and earth you had already comprehended, but instead began to comprehend other Dao of heaven and earth.

You already have a deep understanding of the Dao of heaven and earth such as Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, and since this state does not last long, it cannot cause a qualitative change in them.

Rather than that, it would be better to take this opportunity to integrate more Dao of heaven and earth into the Mysterious Yellow Qi to perfect it.

Furthermore, you believe this is the correct direction, because what you are currently cultivating is not the Dao of heaven and earth like the Five Elements or Yin and Yang, but the Way of Xuanhuang you created yourself; the more Dao and principles you integrate, the stronger your Way of Xuanhuang will be.

As you comprehended, your True Qi began to integrate different Dao of heaven and earth, and the Xuanhuang True Qi became increasingly powerful, its aura becoming increasingly vast, until, after reaching a limit, the Chaos-colored mist within your Dantian began to gradually condense into clouds.

When the first drop of True Essence fell like morning dew, the True Qi began to rapidly liquefy, eventually forming a vast pool of True Essence in your Dantian, shimmering with light and flowing with Dao Rhyme.

After your True Qi transformed into True Essence, it began to rapidly temper your Dantian, acupoints, and Xuanhuang Body.

Under the influence of the True Essence, your Dantian expanded rapidly, and soon the space within your Dantian became ten times its original size.

The body and acupoints tempered by True Essence, combined with the Bridge of Heaven and Earth, can allow one to constantly remain in the state of Unity of Heaven and Man.

Although the Unity of Heaven and Man only has thirty percent of the effect of the current state, it is still of great help to a Martial Artist in comprehending heaven and earth.

Perhaps because the speed at which you condensed True Essence was too fast, this state had not ended after the Breakthrough was completed. You did not stand on ceremony and continued to comprehend the Dao of heaven and earth, integrating your insights into the True Essence.

Soon, the two hours were up, and you completed your Breakthrough, becoming a Martial Artist of the Innate Realm.

After becoming a Xiantian Martial Artist, your strength improved by leaps and bounds. First, in terms of your body, the Xuanhuang Body, now tempered by True Essence, is three to four times stronger than before.

Moreover, the normal Lifespan of the Innate Realm is around five hundred years, and your Xuanhuang Body was already able to give you a Lifespan of five hundred years before it was upgraded; now, you can live for a thousand years.

Next is the True Essence aspect. After True Qi transformed into True Essence, it underwent a qualitative improvement; now, one strand of True Essence can disperse ten strands of previous True Qi.

Not only that, after you perfected the Way of Xuanhuang, your Xuanhuang True Essence is not only explosively powerful but also unpredictable. Within the scope of your abilities, you can use Xuanhuang True Essence to accomplish anything you want to do.

Of course, if one were to speak of the greatest improvement in strength, it is certainly that after becoming an Innate Realm Martial Artist, you can borrow the power of heaven and earth within the range covered by your Mental Energy.

You admit that you previously underestimated the Innate Realm. At the very least, before you reached the Innate Realm, an Innate Realm Martial Artist did not need their Mental Energy to exceed yours by double; as long as it exceeded yours by a little, they could borrow the power of heaven and earth to break your resonance with heaven and earth.

Because the power of heaven and earth is much stronger than the Origin Qi of heaven and earth; it is the power of heaven and earth itself, and those in the Innate Realm are only borrowing it.

Therefore, in situations where the difference in True Essence is not significant, whoever can borrow more of the power of heaven and earth is stronger.

Similarly, if the difference in the power of heaven and earth borrowed by two people is not large, then the person with stronger True Essence will be stronger.

Because the power of heaven and earth borrowed by Mental Energy can only erupt with great might when supported by True Essence; True Essence is equivalent to a skeleton used to support the formless power of heaven and earth.

Subsequently, you borrowed the power of heaven and earth to counteract your own gravity and successfully flew up. After testing, your flight speed exceeded ten times the speed of sound, while the average flight speed of a Martial Artist who has just entered the Innate Realm is less than five times the speed of sound.

That's right, this speed is about the same as your speed when you were in the True Qi Realm.

Actually, speaking of which, in the Innate Realm, the Human Race has an advantage over Demons, because except for Demons with wings, other mixed-blood Demons cannot fly at all.

Only when they reach the level of pure-blooded Demons can they master the ability to fly.

After becoming an Innate Realm Martial Artist, no one in Tianming City can withstand a single blow from you, not even the other three Xiantian Martial Artists.

However, you did not stop your steps, because you know that Moon Venerable, this Heaven-Grade Demon, definitely has some schemes against the Great Qian Dynasty.

Who knows, perhaps the Demons are secretly planning to attack the Human Race again, and you certainly don't want to be swept away by the aftermath like cannon fodder when that time comes.

You began to think about cultivation in the Innate Realm.

After becoming a Xiantian Martial Artist, if you want to become stronger, you must start from three aspects: comprehending heaven and earth, improving True Essence, and improving Mental Energy.

In fact, the moment a Martial Artist enters the True Qi Realm, the amount of True Qi they possess is fixed. Unless they use Heaven And Earth Treasure to expand their Dantian, there is no room for improvement in True Qi throughout the entire True Qi Realm.

After breaking through from the True Qi Realm to the Innate Realm, the Dantian will expand on its own, and the space occupied by True Qi after it condenses into True Essence will become smaller. Therefore, the main cultivation in the early stage of the Innate Realm is to increase the amount of True Essence.

However, it is not simple to improve True Essence; only by constantly deepening one's comprehension of heaven and earth will True Essence grow after absorbing the Origin Qi of heaven and earth.

And improving Mental Energy requires consuming True Essence to do so. That's right, after True Qi transforms into True Essence, it can already be used to temper Mental Energy.

Fortunately, the True Essence consumed in tempering Mental Energy is naturally recovered by absorbing the Origin Qi of heaven and earth, so it is not as difficult as improving True Essence.

Therefore, the process of improving strength in the Innate Realm is to comprehend heaven and earth, improve True Essence, and temper Mental Energy; the improvement of Mental Energy will accelerate the speed of comprehending heaven and earth and the speed of absorbing the Origin Qi of heaven and earth, thereby increasing the speed of improving True Essence, and so on in a cycle.
