(Wang Chongyang's and the Four Greats Masters' martial arts abilities are hypothetical; Hao Datong's is a conjecture; Qiu Chuji, Ma Yu, and Wang Chuyi are from the original work.)

Among the Seven Immortals of Quanzhen, Ma Yu possessed the deepest skill.

It is because his temperament is most in line with the Daoist philosophy.

However, in terms of combat power, the strongest at present is Qiu Chuji, and then Wang Chuyi.

As for Hao Datong, he will be ranked even further back.

According to Ji Boying's observation, Wang Chuyi's internal strength was inferior to his own, and although the Twelve Main Meridians may have been opened, they were not yet fully developed.

Even if Hao Datong makes further breakthroughs in his later years, he will probably still be inferior to Ma Yu, Wang Chuyi, Qiu Chuji.

Quanzhen Internal Energy is balanced and harmonious, but it is also a skill that requires gradual and persistent practice.

It is likely that Hao Datong failed to master the art in his later years, so he combined his life's learning to create the Purple Mist Divine Skill.

The Purple Mist Divine Skill is a unique skill that requires active power generation and application, but it lacks the part about opening up the Eight Extraordinary Meridians.

Perhaps Hao Datong himself didn't get through.

Now, by integrating this Quanzhen Inner Cultivation Method into the Azure Capital Purple Star Divine Skill, the original wonders of energy circulation and the true meaning of endless purple clouds covering the sky and earth are preserved, and the cultivation method of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians is successfully obtained.

Connecting the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, ensuring the proper functioning of the Ren and Du meridians, one can return from the acquired to the Innate Realm.

Ji Boying's internal energy was already abundant. Now that he had just mastered this technique, his Dantian became the ruler, his meridians the subjects, and his Ziwei point was fixed in the center, commanding the twelve jade belts of the Milky Way.

Open the Milky Way and draw the purple clouds into the Eight Extraordinary Meridians.

In a short while, the Purple Mist True Qi surged through the Yinwei Meridian and Yangwei Meridian, widening the river channel and nourishing both banks.

Everything then proceeded as if by natural course.

In an instant, both meridians were fully opened, Ji Boying's true energy greatly increased.

Divine light emanated from him, and a faint breeze wafted around him, causing his robes to billow gently.

After a brief adjustment of his breathing, the divine light receded into his body.

"Congratulations, junior brother, your skills have greatly improved."

Daoist Priest Wang appeared even more excited than Ji Boying.

"Congratulations, congratulations, young hero Ji."

Zhu Cong, the most lively of them all, stepped forward with a beaming smile to offer his congratulations.

The Five Freaks of Jiangnan, Huang Rong, Guo Jing, Mu Nianci also gathered around to offer their congratulations.

Although I don't know how much his skill has improved, I know from the feeling I just had that his power is considerable.

Ji Boying was already highly skilled in martial arts, and now he would probably be even more unable to match him.

"It is entirely thanks to the wonders of the Quanzhen Sect Gong that I have gained some understanding."

Ji Boying cupped his hands and smiled modestly.

"I wonder how powerful Patriarch Chongyang then?"

Ji Boying inquired with Wang Chuyi.

Huang Rong and the others also looked on with curiosity.

Wang Chuyi stroked his beard.

"Back in the day, during the Mount Hua Sword Conference, Patriarch Chongyang had seven of his Eight Extraordinary Meridians open, but unfortunately, he hadn't reached the Innate Realm. His other Four Greats were slightly inferior. It's a pity my master didn't take care of his health in his early years, which greatly depleted his energy, leading to his premature death. Otherwise, hmph..."

Wang Chuyi was slightly arrogant.

It is precisely because of his personality that he ranks second in martial arts among the Seven Immortals of Quanzhen.

However, their progress in skill is not as good as that of their Senior Disciple Brother. In about ten years, they will all be inferior to Ma Yu.

Ji Boying nodded, indicating that he understood.

He secretly made plans in his mind.

Five Greats were exceptionally talented, but it was not easy for them to regain their Innate Realm after birth.

Over the years, it is clear that the Five Greats have not yet reached the Innate Realm, but they should at least have reached the level of Wang Chongyang back then, or even more profound.

However, given his own skill level and rapid progress, coupled with the power of accumulated experience, he should be able to open two more meridians within at least a month.

At that time, in the martial arts world, the only ones who could truly rival him were the Five Greats, with perhaps one more Iron Palm Water Strider.

The realm of the Five Greats is within reach.

"I..."

Just as Ji Boying was about to speak, he suddenly saw fireworks blooming in the north, with a blue flame shooting into the sky.

"Oh no, this is a signal from our Quanzhen Sect."

Wang Chuyi cried out in surprise and quickly took out another shooting star from his pocket and released it into the sky.

"Junior brother..."

"Senior brother, there's no need for further words. Let's go take a look."

Having benefited from the Quanzhen Sect, Ji Boying naturally felt obligated to take it upon himself.

"Let's all go together; there's strength in numbers."

Guo Jing called out and quickly followed.

A group of people ran north in a flurry.

Sure enough, after running for a short while, they came across a group of people fighting in a chaotic melee on the mountain path.

The two people in the middle were wearing gray Daoist robes.

One of them brandished a long sword, his robes fluttering, looking quite imposing.

The other, however, was relaxed and graceful, exuding an air of otherworldly elegance.

But these two have clearly fallen into a disadvantageous position!

"Oh no! It's Mei Chaofeng!"

Zhu Cong cried out, his face filled with horror.

"Be careful, senior brother, I'm here to help you."

Wang Chuyi ignored everything else and charged straight in, drawing his sword.

Mei Chaofeng rode on the neck of the Three-Headed Flood Dragon, holding onto its Three-Headed Flood Dragon growth with one hand, sitting very steadily.

A Poison Dragon Silver Whip made him appear and disappear unpredictably, wielding a formidable aura.

Peng Lianhu, Liang Ziwen, and Sha Tongtian were also there to provide support. Wanyan Honglie his troops to reinforce the rear.

Fortunately, Qiu Chuji and Ma Yu acted decisively and sent out the signal.

Ji Boying lived nearby.

Otherwise, if things continue for a while longer, we will truly suffer a terrible fate.

Qiu Chuji was overjoyed to see Wang Chuyi rush in.

"Junior brother, you've come at the perfect time!"

He rallied his spirits and fought back against Mei Chaofeng for a while.

However, Wang Chuyi and Ma Yu were not having an easy time under the siege of Peng Lianhu, Liang Ziwen, and Sha Tongtian.

In particular, Wanyan Honglie arranged for archers to fire arrows from time to time.

Ji Boying wondered why Mei Chaofeng had suddenly appeared.

But now that his skills have greatly improved, and he has figured out the strength of Liang Ziwen and the others, he is not afraid of Mei Chaofeng at all.

"You have a path to heaven but choose not to take it, and you come to hell when there's no way out. It's just the right time to deal with you."

Ji Boying gave a soft shout, instantly startling Peng Lianhu and his men into a panic.

Hou Tonghai's expression changed drastically, and he took several steps back.

"You bastard, what are you doing!"

Mei Chaofeng shouted angrily!

The poisoned whip lashed the ground with a powerful gust of wind.

Several pieces of bluestone shattered instantly.

With his left hand clenched into a claw, he gripped Hou Tonghai's tumor tightly, causing Hou Tonghai to scream in pain.

He was also terrified. If it weren't for Wanyan Honglie's orders, he would never have allowed Mei Chaofeng to control his life like this.

However, he lost his princess and his Little Prince in succession, and the Prince himself was almost assassinated in front of everyone.

I've long since lost my patience.

Therefore, Hou Tonghai and his men dared not refuse Wanyan Honglie's life, and thus, they were fully armed and mobilized in full force.

"Mei Chaofeng, don't go crazy! A real master has arrived!"

"What kind of expert?"

Mei Chaofeng, being blind, was unaware of the situation, but immediately became alert.

Mei Chaofeng knew that Wanyan Honglie men had come to her because they had suffered a defeat and had no choice but to ask for her help, and had even promised her so many benefits.

Mei Chaofeng encountered a problem while practicing her martial arts and nearly starved to death in a secret room in the artificial hill of the Prince's mansion.

If she hadn't truly been driven to desperation, Mei Chaofeng wouldn't have dared to so openly serve the Jin people.

Putting aside everything else, just look at how often Huang Yaoshi recites the lyrics and music of Old Mr. Xin, and you'll know.
