Time flew, and ten months passed in the blink of an eye.
For a full ten months, Lu Wangchuan cultivated in this canyon without leaving for even a half step.
Compared to the chaotic world outside, the canyon was incomparably quiet and undisturbed. Aside from that, there were Black Scale Pythons to eat. As long as someone was not a fool, they would not choose to leave such a good place.
Lu Wangchuan's strength and blood qi kept increasing until this day, when the blood qi within his body boiled rapidly and spiritual qi continuously circulated through his meridians for several Greater Celestial Circuits, and the speed became faster and faster.
The dead grass and fallen leaves around him began to spin with the wind, and his clothes fluttered incessantly.
Finally, when the spiritual qi reached a certain limit, within Lu Wangchuan's Dantian, accompanied by a violent tremor of the surging force, all the spiritual qi completely presented an atomized state!
Transforming from gas to liquid, the state of the spiritual qi changed. Lu Wangchuan broke through his own limit and successfully reached the second realm--the Celestial Human Realm!
Adding the previous few months, this time took a little more than a year, but the most important contribution still came from the Black Scale Python.
The moment he opened his eyes, a transparent wave faintly diffused into the air—that was the spiritual qi around Lu Wangchuan's body being too dense.
So this is the first stage of the Celestial Human Realm, the Condensing Truth Realm?
Just like the Physical Body Realm, the Celestial Human Realm was similarly divided into five stages--Condensing Truth, Sea Transformation, World-Suppressing Level, Spirit Crossing Realm, and Other Shore!
For one at the Condensing Truth stage, the sea of qi liquefied, and the ability to store spiritual qi was enhanced by a large margin. Because the massive amount of spiritual qi gathered in the body could already achieve the external release of true qi, he could kill a person with a flick of his finger!
Lu Wangchuan clenched his fist and felt the power within his body become strong to a realm he had previously dared not believe.
In ten months, his blood qi reached 26,872 points, and the Limitless Sword Dao was forcibly pushed by him from the sixth layer to the thirteenth layer Great Completion!
The Heavenly Dipper Eight Steps was also elevated to the ninth layer Great Completion realm.
Even so, he still had a full 10472 points of blood qi left.
Thinking back to how he used to cultivate day and night for just one or two points of blood qi, yet now he could obtain so much blood qi all at once, all of this was thanks to becoming stronger.
The stronger he became, the more methods he had to acquire even more blood qi! The stronger his blood qi, the stronger he became!
This was a virtuous cycle!
Drawing the Godslayer Sword, Lu Wangchuan took a deep breath, gathered all his strength, and slashed toward the waterfall in front of him.
He saw an formless sword Qi spread rapidly with an unstoppable posture, and in the blink of an eye, it completely covered the entire sixty-meter-plus small waterfall and the small pool below it.
Boom--!
Accompanied by a heaven-shaking explosion, the waterfall was split apart alive, and the cliff behind it was also blasted on the spot with a huge sword mark, carrying a magnificent momentum.
A moment later, the waterfall flowed again, and Lu Wangchuan also put away the Godslayer Sword.
Only the shock in his heart could not calm down for a long time.
This was his first time drawing his sword in ten months, and he did not expect it to be able to produce such a result.
The external release of true qi could already reach dozens of meters away, and every inch of the sharpness and force was at least twenty thousand catties!
This kind of strength had already surpassed the cognition of ordinary people in the Mortal World. No wonder they were called Heavenly Beings!
All of this was thanks to the contribution of the Black Scale Python lineage. In ten months, all the Black Scale Pythons in the canyon had turned into snake skeletons, and even several nests of snake eggs had been boiled into hard-boiled eggs by Lu Wangchuan. Truly, the whole family was loyal to the end!
It is time to go to the Divine Water Sect.
Lu Wangchuan sighed with emotion. After breaking through to the first stage of the Celestial Human Realm, the Condensing Truth stage, he could clearly feel that the surrounding heaven and earth spiritual qi had become very thin. Wanting to increase his cultivation realm again was practically an extravagant hope.
The gap between the Condensing Truth stage and the Dantian Realm simply could not be spoken of in the same breath. The gap between the two was not just the gap of two minor realms, but also spanned the chasm of major realms.
If the gap between the Dantian and Open Source was tenfold, then the gap between Condensing Truth and Dantian might be dozens of times greater!
It was estimated that if he wanted to break through again, he would have to go find the Divine Water Sect. His master had once said that immortal sects were mostly established on spiritual veins with abundant spiritual qi, far surpassing the Mortal World.
Lu Wangchuan tidied up simply and walked toward the outside of the canyon.
Dust Floating Old Man and the others had already become pitch-white skeletons, just like the Black Scale Giant Python. After ten months of wind and sun, they had been eroded away completely.
Yet just as Lu Wangchuan walked past him, he suddenly discovered something with a bit of surprise.
What is this...?
Among the skeleton of Dust Floating Old Man, there was unexpectedly a roll of animal-skin paper. It should have been hidden within his body, which was why it had not been discovered by himself.
Lu Wangchuan's fingers moved slightly, and spiritual qi rolled it up, causing it to automatically come to his hand.
Upon closer inspection, he realized that this animal-skin paper was out of the ordinary, and was actually harder than the snake skin of the Black Scale Python. With Lu Wangchuan's level in the Celestial Human Realm, he was actually unable to tear it apart.
Moreover, odd-shaped symbols and marks were engraved on it, along with extremely ancient-looking texts.
Could this be that formation mechanism map of the expert's ancient tomb that they spoke of?
Lu Wangchuan felt a slight shock in his heart. Since this map used such special materials, that expert was probably extraordinary.
He would keep it; maybe it would be useful in the future.
A few days later, on the main road a hundred miles away from the Divine Water Sect.
Every now and then, a group of people passed by here. They were full of spirit, and although their attire could not be said to be decent for every single one of them, they were neat in appearance.
At a glance, one might even mistakenly think that the chaotic world had ended and Da Qian's order was beginning to recover.
In reality, they were not ordinary people at all, but martial artists who had specifically come to the Divine Water Sect wanting to join the immortal sect.
The Divine Water Sect did not accept trash; those below the Blood Solidification Realm had no chance to step foot into the Divine Water Sect. The martial artists who wanted to enter the Divine Water Sect needed their strength to be at least at the Tendons and Membranes Realm.
And those who were able to break through the Tendons and Membranes Realm in the Mortal World could not possibly be from impoverished families.
"The Anti-Da Qian Association has developed exceptionally rapidly recently, and I heard they have already become the fourth-ranked force within Da Qian's borders! They occupy the entire Ji Province of Da Qian."
"That is certainly true. It is rumored that the Anti-Da Qian Association is supported by a sect and a faction behind the scenes. Who can withstand them?"
"If this goes on, the downfall of the Da Qian royal family is just a matter of moments."
"I heard that the Da Qian royal family formed a marriage alliance with the Misty Cloud Sect long ago, becoming a puppet of the Misty Cloud Sect and existing only in name."
A pure white figure hidden within the crowd quietly followed behind the group, listening closely to their conversations.
"Unexpectedly, Da Qian has fallen to this stage."
He was precisely Lu Wangchuan.
Because the Heavenly Dipper Eight Steps had already been cultivated by him to the extreme, no matter how far the journey was, it was nothing more than an effortless matter to him.
Today, he could have originally reached the mountain gate earlier, but hearing these people discuss state affairs on the road, he could not help feeling curious, and thus he paused his steps and slowed his speed to eavesdrop aside.
Originally, during these ten months of his closed-door cultivation, Da Qian had already become virtually nonexistent in name.
Major sects entered the fray, each supporting their own factions and long since carving up Da Qian.
Even the Da Qian imperial family had also become the puppet of the sects.
A dynasty of several hundred years turned into ashes just like that.
It seemed unbelievable, but in reality it exposed that royal power and wealth were merely a puff of smoke.
In a world where the strong preyed on the weak, only fists were true power!
This caused Lu Wangchuan's desire to become stronger to grow even more intense within his heart.
Thanks to book friend Hong'en Gege, and book friend Yi Wu Jing Hua Yi Chen Shuang for their tips, immensely grateful.
