162: Chapter 162 Gold-Level Battle Spirit!

Having painstakingly nurtured them to this level, if something were to happen to the younger generation and they lost their lives, these Elders would truly find it hard to accept.

Jiang Wanwei explained the current situation to Elder Liu.

Upon hearing that the people from Xingxue Valley were the ones causing trouble behind the scenes, a look of anger appeared on Elder Liu's face.

“The people from Xingxue Valley have indeed become increasingly arrogant lately.”

“They use some petty tricks and schemes, and they've become so conceited that they don't even respect our Sects anymore.”

“Several factions have lost highly valued juniors this time. The Sects will unite to see if we can completely wipe out Xingxue Valley!”

Elder Liu spoke of their plans; this retaliatory action was a certainty.

During their conversation, Elder Liu couldn't help but nag a bit more.

“This year seems to be a tribulation for your younger generation; the youths of the major Sects have all encountered more or less trouble.”

“The son of the Lanyuan Sect Master died, and though they sent people for revenge, they couldn't even find the culprit.”

“The eldest personal Disciple of Chongshan Tower was poisoned by a Medicinal Pill and hasn't been able to cultivate for these past two years.”

“The daughter of the Panlong Association's second-in-command had a dispute with her father over a man and left their territory, her whereabouts unknown.”

“You two must be careful this year. Wherever you go, you must have guards following you.”

Elder Liu detailed the relevant arrangements and deployments.

It was indeed a bit coincidental that the younger generation across Tianqiong Continent seemed to be encountering trouble during this period.

Once everything was said, Luo Zhi and Jiang Wanwei boarded the flying boat.

The flying boat was carried by two Gale Eagles, a means of transportation that only major Sects could afford to maintain.

As the two sat on the flying boat, Jiang Wanwei reminded Luo Zhi once again.

In her view, if Luo Zhi wasn't vigilant, she would be tricked as well.

“In half a month, it's the Martial Dao Training Assembly at Tianmen Mountain.”

“The younger generation of all the major Sects will take time to participate.”

“Sister Zhi, let's just see if we run into this Young Master Li at Tianmen Mountain.”

“If we ‘happen’ to meet him again, we'll know exactly what his character is.”

As Jiang Wanwei spoke, there was a hint of urgency in her heart.

She was somewhat impatient to expose Li Yuan's true face.

...

After Li Yuan parted ways with them, he didn't immediately leave Red Moon Mountain.

The people from Xingxue Valley had fled, and the previous danger was mostly eliminated.

At this time, he could go see if there were any opportunities to use his Corpse Looting Technique.

The Opportunity at Red Moon Mountain was merely a remnant page of the Kunlun Endless Canon.

This Opportunity was indeed extraordinary for others.

Li Yuan also knew very well how mysterious and marvelous the Kunlun Endless Canon was; it was indeed a top-tier Cultivation Technique.

But since he already had the full text, there was naturally no need for him to chase after a remnant page of the Kunlun Endless Canon.

Circling around Red Moon Mountain, Li Yuan truly saw many young Martial Artists who had perished.

Their Sect Elders hadn't found them yet, so they could only remain here for the time being.

Li Yuan didn't hesitate and directly used the Corpse Looting Technique.

Don't be fooled by the fact that those present were all young Martial Artists; their Martial Dao Internal Energy was each quite remarkable.

In the Shun Kingdom, perhaps those ninth-Rank Martial Artists had deeper Martial Dao experience and more skillful mastery of Martial Skills.

But in terms of the depth of Martial Dao Internal Energy, the Martial Artists of Tianqiong Continent were indeed superior.

The vast amount of essence qi between heaven and earth brought them unique advantages in their cultivation.

Li Yuan's choice was not wrong; coming to Tianqiong Continent was a great help to his cultivation.

Staying in the Shun Kingdom would only mean constantly being on guard against the threat of the Lanyuan Sect, with no hope of striking back.

The sky gradually darkened; Li Yuan had already used the Corpse Looting Technique ten times today.

Before it was completely dark, Li Yuan left Red Moon Mountain.

Feeling that suppression vanish, Li Yuan set off back to Luoshan City, returning to the small courtyard he had bought.

Without that suppression, Li Yuan finally began to cultivate with a calm mind.

The harvest from the trip to Red Moon Mountain was not small, especially since he had obtained a significant amount of Martial Dao Internal Energy.

Currently, he was at the third Rank of the Shenzhen Realm.

Compared to Tianqiong Continent prodigies like Luo Zhi and Jiang Wanwei, there was still some distance.

Both of them had already stepped into the fifth Rank of the Shenzhen Realm.

Reaching such a Martial Dao Realm before the age of thirty, even with the help of essence qi, was indeed not simple.

The elevation of a Martial Dao Realm did not rely solely on the growth of Martial Dao Internal Energy.

A Martial Artist's Physique and state of mind both carried specific requirements.

That Luo Zhi and Jiang Wanwei could enter the fifth Rank of the Shenzhen Realm at such a young age showed that they were extraordinary.

For three days, Li Yuan's thoughts were entirely on elevating his Martial Dao Realm.

After the level of the Corpse Looting Technique increased, the amount of Martial Dao Internal Energy obtained each time also increased.

After the Shenzhen Realm, the requirement for Martial Dao Internal Energy for each advancement increased, but the speed of acquisition was also significantly increasing.

On the third day of calming his mind, Li Yuan's Martial Dao Realm took another step forward, entering the fourth Rank of the Shenzhen Realm.

This Martial Dao Realm, paired with Li Yuan's age, would be called that of a Genius even on Tianqiong Continent.

With his Martial Dao Realm elevated, Li Yuan did not choose to end his seclusion.

In his remote little courtyard, he continued to cultivate his Battle Soul.

In Tianqiong Continent, the Battle Soul is a Martial Artist's most powerful aid.

By looting the corpses of so many young geniuses, Li Yuan had acquired several sets of Battle Soul nurturing methods.

Using their Martial Dao experience, Li Yuan selected the 'Leaping Dragon Battle Soul' nurturing method.

He had obtained the full text of this nurturing method, and the Martial Dao experience he gained from it was also complete and profound.

The strength a Battle Soul can display is usually closely related to the Martial Artist's Martial Dao Realm.

But for Battle Souls, there is actually a separate evaluation system.

Iron-Grade, Bronze-Grade, Silver-Grade, Gold-Grade, Black-Grade, Earth-Grade, Heaven-Grade.

This evaluation system is divided based on the strength of the Battle Soul's Foundation.

If a Martial Artist of the younger generation can nurture their Battle Soul to Silver-Grade, they are considered extremely outstanding.

Even young prodigies like Luo Zhi and Jiang Wanwei had only nurtured their Battle Souls to Silver-Grade.

Of course, having a remarkable Battle Soul doesn't necessarily mean it will be powerful in actual combat.

How much of a role a Battle Soul can play still depends on the Martial Artist.

The Battle Soul is driven by the Martial Artist; if the Martial Artist lacks Martial Dao experience and has poor combat ability, what does it matter if the Battle Soul is powerful?

Li Yuan's Battle Soul at this moment had already reached Gold-Grade.

The basic strength of his Battle Soul could now be compared to the pillars of the major Sects.

Among the prime generation of the various major Sects, there were only a few who could nurture their Battle Souls to Gold-Grade.

It wasn't surprising that the Battle Soul he nurtured had such strength.

Having invested so much and apportioned so much of his own Physique, it would be strange if the Battle Soul hadn't improved.

From this round of Corpse Looting, he had also obtained many Physique bonuses.

After roughly balancing things, Li Yuan naturally split off a portion to use for nurturing his Battle Soul.

Only Li Yuan would dare to split off Physique bonuses to his Battle Soul like this.

Although people here in Tianqiong Continent valued Battle Souls, it was impossible for them to harm their own benefits to nourish a Battle Soul.

By the time he had fully processed all the gains from this time, ten days had already passed.

Li Yuan began to plan his next step, considering where he should go.

He already had several plans in mind and was currently just filtering through them to pick the optimal solution.

What Jiang Wanwei had anticipated—that Li Yuan would try to 'happen' upon Luo Zhi again—was simply impossible.
