87: Chapter 87 The Realm of Immortals on Earth is Achieved!

"For the first year, your Divine Soul, originally two feet and three inches, began to grow once more."

"By the one hundred fiftieth year, your Divine Soul had grown to two feet and six inches! The Nine Turns Creation Sutra successfully broke through to the ninth level of the fourth turn, officially stepping into the Seventh Layer of the Spirit Wandering Realm."

"By the three hundredth year, the Divine Soul seemed to have reached its limit, finally stabilizing at an astonishing three feet and three inches. The Nine Turns Creation Sutra successfully broke through to the first level of the fifth turn! At the same time, you officially entered the final and most critical minor Realm of the Spirit Wandering Realm—the ninth level of the Spirit Wandering Realm!!"

"By the four hundred fiftieth year, your Divine Soul was no longer simply growing but had begun a transition in its life essence. The Nine Turns Creation Sutra successfully broke through to the second level of the fifth turn! At this moment, you had already touched the threshold of the Land Immortal Realm! You were only a step away from leaping over the dragon gate."

"By the six hundred fiftieth year, your Divine Soul completed its first total transition of life energy. The Nine Turns Creation Sutra broke through to the third level of the fifth turn, and you officially stepped into the first layer of the Land Immortal Realm!"

"Boom!"

The moment the words Land Immortal Realm echoed, Xia Jin felt a sharp pain surge through his body. At that moment, the True Qi within him underwent a transformation, bit by bit converting into Spiritual Qi that shared the same origin as the heavens and earth!

First layer of the Land Immortal Realm, achieved!

Xia Jin slowly opened his eyes. Within his pupils, there seemed to be a faint, swirling galaxy.

"Is this... the power of the Land Immortal Realm?" Feeling the completely different Spiritual Qi within him, he unconsciously stretched out his right hand and gently gripped the empty air in front of him.

"Hummm~!" Under Xia Jin's casual squeeze, the void in front of him actually produced a visible distortion, and even began to show tiny black cracks! It was as if if he exerted just a little more force, that void would truly be shattered by his bare hand!

"My Physical Body... has actually been strengthened once again." Xia Jin looked at his right hand, the corners of his mouth curling upward slightly.

But suddenly, the scene of his life-and-death struggle with Lu Tiancheng that day flashed involuntarily into his mind, causing a chill to run down his back.

"That is to say, if Lu Tiancheng hadn't truly reached his limit and his blood vitality hadn't withered... even if I had succeeded in my sneak attack, the result would likely have been that I couldn't even shake his protective Spiritual Qi, let alone severely wound him?"

"It seems that, in the end, my life is just tough!!" A trace of relief flashed in Xia Jin's eyes. "However, today is different from the past. Now that I have also stepped into this Realm, if I were to fight Lu Tiancheng again..."

A cold glint flashed in his eyes: "I could kill him with a flip of my hand!"

"Next, I only need to slaughter those two old ghosts in the Great Qian Imperial Palace, and I will be able to complete another task for the System!" Xia Jin slowly stood up, unconsciously walked to the window, picked up a pot of wine, and gulped it down.

"However, before that, I need to find a place to properly familiarize myself with this new power."

Xia Jin casually tossed the empty wine pot aside, then took a step, the Spiritual Qi within his body automatically resonating with the heavens and earth.

Swish! His figure instantly vanished from the room, and before the empty wine pot even hit the ground, his figure had already appeared on the city walls of Tianyu City.

His speed now was more than ten times faster than when he was at the sixth layer of the Spirit Wandering Realm!

He did not stop, set his direction, and headed south all the way.

In less than half an hour, he had arrived at the border where the Great Qian Dynasty met the Lieyang Dynasty.

That's right, this was the "Blackwater Marsh," very famous throughout the Central Region. It was the largest swamp area in the Central Region, and even with Xia Jin standing high in the sky, he couldn't see the end of this marsh at a single glance.

In terms of area, this "Blackwater Marsh" was comparable to half a province of the Great Qian Dynasty.

Xia Jin stood in the air, looking down at the boundless swamp below, the corners of his mouth curling upward slightly.

"Very good, this is a suitable place for me to practice!"

Xia Jin slowly raised his right arm, curled his five fingers into a fist, and the Spiritual Qi within his body instantly surged out, all concentrating on his fist. Simply and directly, he punched down!

A nearly transparent beam of light shot out from his fist, instantly crossing a distance of several hundred zhang and plunging into the center of the swamp!

The next moment, "Rumble!!!" It was as if an earth dragon had turned over. The area of the swamp struck by Xia Jin's punch, after a brief pause, collapsed violently downward!

And it spread rapidly in all directions. A massive crater with a diameter of over a thousand meters appeared right below Xia Jin!

"After stepping into the Land Immortal Realm, a casual punch can have such power!? It is truly worthy of being the Realm that all Cultivators dream of!" Xia Jin stared blankly at the small lake created by his punch, a look of shock flashing in his eyes.

Ten breaths later, the surrounding swamp mud slowly began to pour back into this newly formed 'lake,' but given the size of this 'lake,' it would likely take at least a day or two for it to disappear.

"Hm!?" Xia Jin suddenly glanced downward.

A violent aura seemed to be rising from the extreme depths of the swamp at an astonishing speed! The intensity of this aura, even from such a distance, was far stronger than that of Lu Tiancheng from before!

Xia Jin couldn't help but frown, a trace of wariness flashing in his eyes. "Could it be that hidden beneath the 'Blackwater Marsh' is actually a Yao Beast of the Land Immortal Realm!?"

After coming to this world, he had seen quite a few large Vicious Beasts. But the strongest Vicious Beast he had ever seen was at most equivalent to a human expert who had just entered the Grandmaster Realm.

A Yao Beast that could reach the Land Immortal Realm!? Let alone seeing one, he had never even heard of such a thing.

"Splash!!" Accompanied by a towering wave of mud, a massive figure burst out from the swamp below!

It was a giant python nearly a hundred meters long... or rather, it was closer to the legendary existence known as a Dragon!

Just the part of its body exposed from the swamp was over a hundred meters long!

"A Dragon? Does this world... really contain such legendary creatures!?" Xia Jin was also startled by this sudden behemoth, especially when he saw the two bumps on the head of the black dragon, his eyes widening even further.

After the black dragon emerged from the swamp, the pair of deep purple vertical pupils on its head were also sizing up Xia Jin in the air.

However, this black dragon did not immediately attack Xia Jin. Instead, a trace of extremely human-like emotion flashed in its vertical pupils. Clearly, it was evaluating the strength of this human in the Land Immortal Realm.

But that was all. As for fearing that Xia Jin would threaten it? Impossible, absolutely impossible.

After all, humans who could step into the Land Immortal Realm might be rare, but in the entire Eastern Profound Continent, they definitely numbered more than ten.

And as for a Yao Beast like itself that had stepped into the Land Immortal Realm, as far as it knew, other than itself, there was probably only that big bird in the Southern Region.

Such difficulty in Cultivation also allowed them to easily overpower human Cultivators within the same Realm.

A few breaths later, the black dragon finally spoke.

"Human! Get out of here!"
