158: Early period of Emperor Wuzong

The Late-stage Martial Master Realm is also known as the “Xuan Bridge Realm.” After a Martial Master goes through the “Xuan Sight Realm” of the early stage and the “Xuan Sense Realm” of the Middle Stage, the next step is to construct a Heavenly Bridge in their mind connecting to the Baihui acupoint on the top of their head, preparing for Soul Emergence.

Once this restriction can be broken, one can enter the Innate Realm and reach the Martial Ancestor Realm!

To Long Yuan, this seemed to pose no difficulty, as Soul Sense was his absolute advantage.

His Soul Sense had long since evolved into a Cultivator’s Divine Sense, and he could observe things outside his body, like a Heavenly Eye, scrutinizing everything around him with utmost clarity.

However, what he was currently Cultivating was the martial version of the Creation Profound Heaven Skill, which required him to construct a Xuan Power Heavenly Bridge in his mind.

He hadn't done it yet, not because he didn't want to, but because this step required acting according to the maturity of his Xuan Skill Cultivation, and now he felt the time was ripe!

He waved his hand, scattering a small pile of superior xuan stones, and holding two stones, he began to circulate the Creation Profound Heaven Skill…

As the Cultivation Technique continuously circulated, Long Yuan’s Xuan Meridians within his body thickened and widened.

The previously atomized Profound Qi began to become even denser, gradually forming liquid droplets, creating large lakes of Xuan Liquid at the thirty-six vital acupoints.

Outside these thirty-six vital acupoints, another thirty-six vital acupoints were lit up one by one.

The seventy-two vital acupoints shone brilliantly like seventy-two stars, illuminating the entire inner world!

In his mind, a Xuan Power Heavenly Bridge was slowly forming.

It was formed by Xuan Liquid so viscous it was almost solidified, and once formed, it connected the Baihui acupoint and the Ren and Du meridians.

At this moment, the Xuan Power throughout his body suddenly accelerated its circulation, giving Long Yuan a feeling of being ethereal and immortal…

“Is this the Innate Realm?!” Long Yuan exclaimed softly, a little disbelieving that his entry into the Innate Realm was so simple and quick, passing through in an instant, completely different from the situations described by many Xuan Practitioners.

To break through to the Innate Realm, most people basically expended immense effort, preparing for an unknown number of days and resources, and then spending a considerable amount of time continuously attempting the Breakthrough.

Even so, their chances of failure were still very high, which is why Innate Xuan Practitioners are so noble; only a small fraction of the entire Xuan Practitioner population can enter the Innate Realm.

In Great Ming, an Innate Martial Grandmaster can already guard a second-tier base city, a position of considerable status!

Long Yuan opened his eyes and chuckled softly; an Innate Martial Grandmaster, just a small matter!

He tested his strength after the Breakthrough and found that he had indeed become much stronger.

His Qi and Blood value reached a terrifying 6800 points, and his strength value, relative to his Qi and Blood value, directly increased by 5 times, reaching 34000 kilograms.

This exceeded the official standard of 7000 kilograms by 27000 kilograms.

This value already surpassed the 30000 kilograms of a Martial Commander Early Stage and was not far from the 40000 kilograms of the Middle Stage!

In other words, Long Yuan, having just entered the Innate Realm, although only a Martial Grandmaster Early Stage, possessed the strength level of a Martial Commander Early Stage.

If his Divine Sense power were added, he could completely sweep aside all Martial Commanders!

And this didn’t even include his “Heavenly Eye” immortal technique.

Achieving such a level was related to his strength amplification multiplier, which reached 5 times.

For ordinary people, reaching 2 times is already enough to be considered a Genius; 5 times can only be described as a peerless Prodigy.

This was actually the result of the combined enhancement of his divine-grade Physique and divine-grade Cultivation Technique; there was no way around it, a god is omnipotent!

“In this Otherworld Great Ming, I finally have the power to protect myself!” Long Yuan exhaled a turbid breath, his eyes brighter than ever…

Judging by the known powerhouses in Great Ming, the strongest were merely the eighteen Martial Commanders.

Long Yuan was confident that when facing them, he might not defeat them, but he could at least easily escape.

Therefore, he now indeed possessed the power to protect himself, and his mindset became calmer than ever before, appearing serene and composed, with a detached feeling of having everything under control.

Of course, he also understood that Great Ming, or rather, this Blue Star, was merely his novice village.

Currently, he only initially met the conditions to leave this novice village, and the powerhouses beyond Blue Star were his true future challenges!

“There’s still some time before school ends, why not go check out the cloud cabin…”

Long Yuan walked out of the training room and came to the nearby cloud cabin, which was quite lively.

People were queuing at every cloud cabin, waiting.

When they saw Long Yuan approach, their spirits lifted; the captain was finally going to participate in the challenge again!

The Great Ming Cloud Platform Challenge officially entered its operational phase today.

The results of the previous test matches were only recorded and would not be carried over into the official competition, so Long Yuan was now a newcomer again.

“Captain, our record is really a bit dismal.

So far today, only Ye Xuan and Lai Min have each achieved one victory; everyone else has lost!” said Hong Biao, the more impulsive student from the Intermediate class.

“It’s not bad!”

“Although it’s a bit tragic, there are still records of victories…” Long Yuan chuckled.

“Oh, I heard that Qianlong Middle School and Fengming Middle School both have more than five victories.

All of us are striving for that goal!” Hong Biao sighed.

“That’s right, Long Yuan, hurry up and win a few matches to help us regain some Face!” Qin Gui, who had arrived beside Long Yuan at some point, urged him.

Long Yuan suddenly felt a bit strange upon hearing this and asked, “Do we always have someone monitoring the challenge situation at Qianlong Middle School and Fengming Middle School?”

Hong Biao shook his head and pointed to a light screen in the middle, saying, “No need.

We can lock onto the overall battle records of their challenge point through the cloud cabin; they’re all updated in real-time!”

Long Yuan looked and saw that in addition to displaying the most important challenge scenes, the large light screen in the middle indeed showed the battle records of Qianlong Middle School and Fengming Middle School in the bottom right corner, as well as the records of the three official middle schools in Fengyang.

Currently, Qianlong Middle School ranked first with six wins and forty-three losses, Fengming Middle School ranked second with five wins and forty-eight losses, and Fengyang ranked third with two wins and forty-nine losses.

As for Fengyang No. 2 High School and Fengyang No. 3 Middle School, they both had all losses!

This ranking was primarily based on the number of wins, so there was no need to calculate win rates, making it relatively simple and clear.

For a small third-tier base like Fengyang, achieving even one victory against opponents of the same Realm from all over the country was a rare and valuable feat.

This had been very evident during the previous test matches, so everyone’s mentality was still quite good when faced with such a record.

“So that’s how it is.

Then wouldn’t it be enough for Lai Min and Ye Xuan to challenge a few more times?

Their strength is obvious to all.” Long Yuan asked curiously.

Hong Biao paused, then reacted and said, “Captain, you might not know, but cloud cabin challenges can deplete Soul Power.

With our current abilities, we can challenge at most one to two matches a day.

Any more might risk depletion, and once depleted, it could potentially damage our Foundation.

Therefore, the school stipulates that we can challenge a maximum of two matches a day!”
