Body Tempering Realm Ultimate Realm!

Meanwhile, Lu Jiuyuan remained immersed in the Body Cleansing Pool. As the pool continuously took effect, his physical condition steadily improved.

Although those in the Body Tempering Realm could not wield the Spiritual Energy of heaven and earth, their physiques far surpassed those of ordinary people. Upon entering the Body Tempering Realm First Layer, one could lift a hundred kilograms, and each breakthrough added another hundred kilograms of strength.

Yet humans all had their limits. Those without any talent could at most reach the Body Tempering Realm Ninth Layer; those with a little talent could break through to the Tenth Layer. Only those who reached the Body Tempering Realm Eleventh Layer could be called geniuses.

As for the Twelfth Layer, it was known as the bearing of a Great Emperor. Even across the entire Dixuan Continent, such people were few and far between.

Without even realizing it, Lu Jiuyuan's cultivation smoothly broke through to the Body Tempering Realm Ninth Layer. But then something unexpected happened. His cultivation did not stop there, but continued to rise and break through.

Body Tempering Realm Tenth Layer.

And there was still no sign of it stopping. As Lu Jiuyuan felt a chill run through his body, the Body Tempering Realm Eleventh Layer was achieved!

Yet Lu Jiuyuan could sense that he had not reached his limit. He began absorbing the power within the Body Cleansing Pool with all his might, seeking to break through into the one-in-ten-thousand Body Tempering Realm Twelfth Layer.

At this moment, Uncle Li also returned. When he arrived at the Body Cleansing Pool, he felt a trace of surprise. This kid still had not come out.

He immediately spread out his divine sense to investigate, only to be even more shocked. He could not help but curse, "Damn it, this kid actually wants to charge into the Body Tempering Realm Twelfth Layer! What kind of freak is he?"

"And wasn't it said that people without cultivation talent could not reach above the Body Tempering Realm Ninth Layer?"

No matter what, Uncle Li believed his divine sense would not deceive him. At the same time, doubt rose in his heart. Could the Talent Testing Stone have malfunctioned that day? Or had the Physique Testing Stone malfunctioned?

It seemed that once this kid came out, he would need to test him again. But Uncle Li believed that even if Lu Jiuyuan truly had no cultivation talent, merely spreading word that he had stepped beyond the Body Tempering Realm Tenth Layer would likely cause no small stir throughout the entire Dixuan Continent.

Just then, the sky above the County Princess Manor changed. Uncle Li sensed an immense pressure and hurriedly looked up, only to see clusters of Nine-Colored Auspicious Clouds appearing in the sky at some unknown time.

"This is... Heavenly Dao's Blessing? Just what is this kid's background? Even the Heavenly Dao has personally bestowed its blessing upon him? It seems this kid may truly step onto the Path to Immortality."

In merely a few minutes, Uncle Li's understanding had been overturned several times. This was his first time seeing someone with no cultivation talent enter above the Body Tempering Realm Ninth Layer—indeed, the Twelfth Layer, one unseen throughout the ages.

It was also his first time witnessing something as terrifying as Heavenly Dao's Blessing. One had to know that it was the Heavenly Dao itself, a terrifying existence that even immortals did not dare provoke. The entire Dixuan Continent lay beneath the Heavenly Dao's control, showing just how powerful it was.

Under Uncle Li's blank stare, Lu Jiuyuan's entire body floated into the air, and the clusters of Nine-Colored Auspicious Clouds were absorbed into his body.

With Heavenly Dao's Blessing, Lu Jiuyuan's foundation, which Chen Feng had long since destroyed, recovered at a terrifying speed. It even became far more formidable than before.

Lu Jiuyuan's cultivation talent had previously reached Mystic Grade Top-tier. If nothing unexpected had happened, the Lu Family would have produced a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator.

It was precisely because of this that the Chen Family had taken the risk of attacking the Lu Family and successfully exterminating it.

But now, not only had Lu Jiuyuan's foundation recovered, it had also broken through to the even more terrifying Heaven Grade Peak. For an existence of this level, becoming an immortal would not be much of a problem if nothing unexpected occurred.

Uncle Li did not know this yet, so his face did not show too much surprise.

In the royal capital of the Yuanwu Kingdom, King Li, who was in seclusion, opened his eyes and looked into the distance with lingering fear.

"That is the aura of the Heavenly Dao. Which lucky person has received the Heavenly Dao's blessing?"

After thinking for a moment, King Li waved his hand. In an instant, ten cultivators completely concealed within black mist appeared before him.

"Search in that direction. Find the person blessed by the Heavenly Dao. Make sure he joins my Yuanwu Kingdom. At the very least, establish good relations with him."

After King Li spoke, the ten shapeless cultivators headed toward Qingfeng Town. They were King Li's shadow guards, usually responsible for handling matters that could not see the light of day.

"A person blessed by the Heavenly Dao... I hope he can join this king's Yuanwu Kingdom."

King Li sighed, then resumed his seclusion. He could sense the barrier in his cultivation. He only needed to take one more step to break through into the Mahayana Stage and become a true immortal. Those who reached the Mahayana Stage could be honored as immortals.

King Li was not the only one harboring such thoughts.

Youmo Sect.

"Hehehe, the person blessed by the Heavenly Dao has appeared once more. It would be best to find him and recruit him into my Youmo Sect. If he refuses to join, then devour him."

King Youmo, the sect master of the Youmo Sect, sneered. Beneath him stood a dense mass of Demonic Cultivators.

Lu Jiuyuan still did not know that many people had already set their sights on him. He had successfully finished absorbing Heavenly Dao's Blessing, and his cultivation talent had reached the terrifying Heaven Grade Top-tier.

One had to know that talent of this level could be nurtured as an Inner Disciple, or even a Core Disciple, in an ordinary holy land. Its rarity was plain to see.

Lu Jiuyuan still did not know this, because his system had been destroyed. He could no longer see his attribute panel and could only see those three attribute bars.

Seeing Uncle Li looking at him with some envy, Lu Jiuyuan asked curiously.

"What is it?"

Only then did Uncle Li explain everything. Upon hearing about Heavenly Dao's Blessing, Lu Jiuyuan could no longer sit still. Was the system really this powerful? Even the Heavenly Dao had bestowed its blessing upon me?

However, seeing the sincerity in Uncle Li's eyes, Lu Jiuyuan believed that he would not deceive him. He merely marveled at the system's power and felt excited that he was about to step onto the Path to Immortality.

"Come on. Let's test your talent again first."

After speaking, Uncle Li prepared to take Lu Jiuyuan for another talent test. Yet what Uncle Li did not expect was that what happened next would shock him once again.
