"No wonder there had been no news of Long Mingqing. He had gone straight into seclusion in the First Realm to make a bid for final-stage Supreme."
Mu Qing sighed inwardly. He had not expected to be one step too late.
"Then I shall take my leave. Through the secret art I gave you, you should understand that the Second Realm's environment is unsuitable for my breakthrough. I must go to the Third Realm."
Tian Zang grinned and turned to leave.
He had previously been so eager to declare his intention to head for the Third Realm. Seizing opportunities was a minor matter; breaking through to final-stage Supreme was what truly mattered!
Mu Qing nodded, watching Tian Zang depart.
According to the secret art Tian Zang had given him, using a Sacred Body to break through to final-stage Supreme differed from refining a rule core.
Refining a Sacred Body did not require ten long years. Instead, after using a Sovereign sacred artifact to create one's own scripture, one fused the Sovereign sacred artifact into one's body and sought out every kind of trial and oppression.
Under intense external stimulation, one accelerated the absorption of the Sovereign sacred artifact. Half its power elevated the scripture, while the other half refined the Sacred Body until it finally took shape.
That was Tian Zang's plan. The Third Realm was far more dangerous, and he might even encounter final-stage Supremes there—more than enough to bring him tremendous pressure.
"I don't need to do that."
Mu Qing stroked his chin. After digesting the information within the Sacred Body secret art, he discovered there was another path.
That was to use all the Sovereign sacred artifact's power to refine the Sacred Body, forging one's body into a pure Sacred Body, just like a pure rule core.
