The Martial Arts Alliance's Plan
Once the seed of law sprouts and breaks through the foundation of the Origin Realm, that is the Kaiyuan Realm.
The Kaiyuan Realm is still a long way off for Yi Yun at the moment, but those truly gifted Dao Seed Realm martial artists often have the seeds of laws within their foundation accumulating power and showing signs of sprouting when they are about to break through.
Once the primordial foundation is broken, it will quickly grow into a towering divine tree.
Yi Yun is far from breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage, but his Law Seed has already accumulated terrifying power.
The accumulation of cultivation is only one aspect; Living Beast Seal brings to Yi Yun is a greater improvement in his physical body.
The Nine-Headed Serpent is Nine-headed Serpent that has awakened an ancient bloodline. Its physique is far more powerful than that of humans.
In the previous battle with the Nine-Headed Serpent, Yi Yun shot many arrows at it with the Sun-Shooting Nine Sorrows Bow. His own fingers were cut by the bowstring, but he only injured the Nine-Headed Serpent and did not penetrate its body. The arrows did not even penetrate to the root.
This demonstrates just how abnormally powerful Jiuying's defenses are.
Now, Yi Yun has refined the Nine-Headed Serpent into the Living Beast Seal. Although he can only obtain a slight boost from the beast seal, it is still a leap in physical strength relative to a human body.
"Crackling and popping!"
Yi Yun clenched his fists, his veins bulged slightly, and his bones cracked with a series of popping sounds. This feeling of complete comfort made him want to let out a long howl.
It feels so good, like I have inexhaustible energy that I want to release.
He shouted and threw a punch.
"Boom!"
Without any laws to aid him, relying solely on his physical strength, Yi Yun's punch slammed into a sand dune, causing the entire dune to explode, sending yellow sand flying everywhere and creating a dense sandstorm.
In terms of physical strength, Yi Yun has never been considered particularly strong.
In terms of speed, he possesses the "Golden Crow Sun-Plunder" Movement Technique, making him extremely fast.
In terms of laws, he cultivates the pure Yang law and supplements it with the pure Yin law. The Yin Yang Law can be considered a great law, and its profundity is even greater than that of the Five Elements Law.
In terms of attack, Yi Yun Dual Cultivation swords and sabers, and also possesses the Sun-Shooting Nine Sorrows Bow.
As for cultivation techniques, there's nothing more to say about the <Empress Heart Sutra>, a secret manual derived from the supreme Dao.
However... comparatively speaking, defense is Yi Yun's weakness.
During battle, he needs to activate his Protective Vital Energy to envelop his entire body; if a sword pierces his head, Yi Yun will die.
If your physical strength is insufficient, you must be cautious in everything you do. You can't even enjoy a truly satisfying battle.
Now, having fused with the Nine-Headed Serpent Seal, Yi Yun's physical body has begun to transform. As the Nine-Headed Serpent grows, Yi Yun's physical body will become stronger and stronger.
"It's time to go out." From arriving in the South China Sea to subduing the Nine-Headed Serpent and fusing and refining the Living Beast Seal, Yi Yun spent a month.
"Before I absorbed the Nine-Headed Serpent Seal, the Nine-Headed Serpent was about to undergo its Heavenly Tribulation. At its current level, it simply couldn't survive it and was doomed to die. If the Nine-Headed Serpent Seal were shattered by the Heavenly Tribulation, there would be no point in cultivating this beast seal, and I would be reduced to my original form."
Yi Yun muttered to himself, naturally he wouldn't let such a thing happen.
He wanted to find some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures for Jiuying to help it overcome this tribulation, and at the same time, he also wanted to investigate the Martial Arts Alliance's schemes.
Yi Yun opened an exit, his body soaring into the sky before disappearing into the Empress Secret Realm.
In the eastern part of the Tianyuan Realm, there is a city built on a towering giant tree, called Tianwu City. From a distance, this giant tree looks like the image of two people fighting, while at the base of the tree and on its branches, many martial artists stand and meditate.
Some of them have been here for a long time, hoping to gain some insight from the images formed by the giant tree.
This giant tree existed countless ages ago; it appears to be dead, yet it does not wither.
This sacred tree is said to have been formed naturally by the laws of nature. Later, an Emperor built a city here and named it Tianwu City.
Tianwu City is the closest major city in the Tianyuan Realm to the Martial Arts Alliance. Since not everyone can go to the Martial Arts Alliance, Tianwu City has become a gathering place for martial artists in the Tianyuan Realm.
Many sects and forces in the Tianyuan Realm have set up branches in Tianwu City. With so many people, the circulation of various treasures is also large, making Tianwu City the largest and most important trading location in the entire Tianyuan Realm.
The Myriad Treasures Pavilion established in Tianwu City was renowned even among ordinary people.
In a mountain forest some distance from Tianwu City, a flash of white light suddenly appeared in the sky, and then a figure walked out of the portal.
Yi Yun landed lightly; his destination was Tianwu City!
As the city closest to the Martial Arts Alliance, and home to many of the Martial Arts Alliance's organizations, this place was chosen by Yi Yun as his first stop.
Before coming, Yi Yun had done some research on Tianwu City.
Tens of millions of years ago, the Ancient Empress traveled through the Tianyuan Realm. In her notes, she mentioned this Ancient Empress tree and even commented on it. However, Ancient Empress did not mention that there was a city there. The city must have been built after the empress's era.
Within Tianwu City, there are countless martial artists, and many more emerge from the surrounding mountains and forests to undergo trials.
Yi Yun flew towards Tianwu City, encountering five or six groups of martial artists undergoing trials along the way. Most of these martial artists were at the Origin Foundation Realm, and they couldn't even sense Yi Yun's aura, let alone see his figure.
As Yi Yun continued his journey, he observed the backgrounds of these young martial artists. Most of them came from various powerful forces in the Tianyuan Realm, but some of them wore black martial arts uniforms embroidered with the symbol of the Blood Moon.
The blood moon symbol was extremely conspicuous to Yi Yun, clearly indicating that these people might be from the Martial Arts Alliance.
These people may not actually be the Blood Moon's direct subordinates; they may just be peripheral members. But even so, they hold a very high position among the trial participants.
Yi Yun sense that many people treated them with extreme respect.
Among the many martial artists, Yi Yun spotted a small team of seven or eight young martial artists. They were dressed in bright colors and, judging from their direction, were also heading towards Tianwu City.
Yi Yun paused briefly, because judging from their clothing, they were actually from the Lihuo Sect.
The Lihuo Sect was considered an ally of the Shentu Family, and together with the Shentu Family, they guarded the Lin family and monitored their movements. However, Yi Yun slaughtered seven or eight of their young disciples.
Within the group, a young martial artist, dressed in magnificent attire, addressed a female martial artist, saying, "Kill two more wild beasts so you can absorb two beast seals. Then we need to hurry back to Tianwu City. If we're late, Uncle Gongsun will be unhappy."
"What's there to be afraid of? However, Martial Uncle Gongsun is going to attend the Myriad Treasures Pavilion event this time. If we go back early, we might be able to go and broaden our horizons. I heard there are many rare and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures we've never even heard of before." The female martial artist said excitedly.
The young martial artist smiled, somewhat smugly, and said, "Those are nothing compared to the main event: a Longevity Pill! Many elders from major sects, even grand elders, have come in person for this Longevity Pill. Just one look at it can add a year to your life!"
"Really?" The female martial artist's eyes lit up. Could just a glance extend one's lifespan? She'd better go to the Myriad Treasures Pavilion and take a good look.
However, she soon saw her senior brother's smiling face and realized she had been tricked. The two quickly started playfully fighting and ended up embracing. They had come out to train, but they had also taken the opportunity to have an affair.
Yi Yun, who was hiding to the side, no longer paid attention to the man and woman; their words made him frown slightly.
Longevity Pill!
These pills, which can only be used by low-level martial artists and extend lifespan by severing the path of martial arts, are worthless in the Twelve Emperor Heavens, but in the Tianyuan Realm, countless people covet them.
The Martial Arts Alliance openly put it up for sale at the Myriad Treasures Pavilion; this alone was enough to win people's hearts.
Yi Yun sighed softly. The Martial Arts Alliance had existed for far too long; overthrowing it would be incredibly difficult! (To be continued~^~)
