Taiyi Soul Art

Perhaps it was due to Hai Bodong's Divine Blood talent,

which made him particularly outstanding compared to ordinary people.

He spent only a few days in total

before consecutively breaking through the bottlenecks

between the sixth and seventh Divine Blood realms.

Of course, the main reason he had broken through so quickly

was the two segments of the Divine Blood Cipher

he had obtained from Di Shi.

After their initial awakening,

Divine Blood People were like special nuclear reactors.

Without the specific cipher,

no matter how gifted a Divine Blood Person was,

they could at most reach the fifth Divine Blood realm.

The effects of Hai Bodong's previous devouring of Heavenly Flames to catalyze his bloodline

naturally became completely useless after he broke through the fifth realm!

However, relying on the bloodline of the Tuhulu God,

he could still replicate the special abilities of a particular Heavenly Flame upon coming into contact with it.

As for the capabilities of the sixth and seventh Divine Blood realms, after giving them a small test,

Hai Bodong was immediately greatly shocked!

Specifically, at the sixth Divine Blood realm,

he could demonize all the Divine Blood particles throughout his body,

thereby unleashing, for a short time, combat power comparable to that of an ordinary Dou Zun expert.

Yet this special state was unstable!

From Hai Bodong's own experience,

he might only be able to use it a few times

before his entire body exploded from being unable to control the rampage of all his Divine Blood particles!

However, after breaking through to the seventh Divine Blood realm,

although his actual combat power had not changed qualitatively, this obvious drawback was greatly improved.

Simply put, Hai Bodong now

could maintain this state for a long time

without suffering any side effects!

Of course, if Hai Bodong had no choice but to use the high-frequency conversion of the Divine Blood particles within his body,

although he could instantly unleash

combat power close to that of a nine-star Dou Zun expert,

he would consume a great deal of Red Origin as a result,

greatly reducing his lifespan!

After breaking through to the seventh Divine Blood realm,

Hai Bodong had returned to the villa

in the outskirts of Tianjin City.

Since he did not wish to cultivate Dou Qi in a world

where the energy concentration was extremely thin,

he asked Old Yao for an ancient soul art that could allow someone like him, who possessed a

Mortal Realm Great Perfection soul,

to temper their soul power.

According to Old Yao, he had acquired this soul art only after spending considerable effort while cultivating

in Sacred Pill City, under the jurisdiction of the Pill Tower.

It was a treasure that countless alchemists eagerly coveted!

If Hai Bodong had not greatly improved his control over his body after breaking through to the seventh Divine Blood realm,

and if his soul realm, previously only at the Mortal Realm Peak, had not directly reached the Mortal Realm Great Perfection level that signified the standard of a Seventh Grade Alchemist,

Old Yao would not have used his own soul power to imprint

this ancient soul art, which only those possessing

a Mortal Realm Great Perfection soul could barely cultivate,

and passed it on to Hai Bodong for cultivation!

After obtaining this ancient soul art called the Taiyi Soul Art, Hai Bodong could sense the special Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth directly through circulating the technique, then absorb and use it.

In merely half a day,

he not only consolidated his recently advanced soul realm at Mortal Realm Great Perfection,

but also touched upon the threshold of a Spiritual Realm Soul.

By then, the cooldown of the Time Wheel Hourglass within Hai Bodong's sea of consciousness had also ended.

He also realized that even if he continued cultivating,

without the aid of some high-level resources,

even with his cultivation aptitude having greatly improved after breaking through to the seventh Divine Blood realm,

he would likely still need at least several years,

or at most around a decade,

to break through into the Spiritual Realm Soul realm.

Thus, he did not linger any longer.

With a mere thought, he activated the power of the Time Wheel Hourglass and returned directly to the Dou Qi Continent.

"Disciple, the effect of this special ability of yours is truly outrageous!"

Old Yao, who had just traveled back to the Dou Qi Continent, could not help drifting out of the Bone Flame Ring in Hai Bodong's hand as he exclaimed.

"Hehe! This ability of mine really is extraordinary!"

After laughing, Hai Bodong spoke seriously again:

"But Teacher, do not accidentally reveal this ability of mine!"

"Hmph! Brat! Don't you, as my disciple, know what kind of person your master is?"

"Honestly! I'm not muddleheaded now! Do you think I would possibly do something so foolish?"

Seeing that Old Yao was getting worked up, Hai Bodong did not dare say anything more and immediately teased:

"Hehe! Teacher, don't take it to heart! I was only saying it. Just listen to it casually!"

"Hmph! I'll let you off this time, brat!"

Hearing this, Old Yao replied with a haughty expression.

Afterward, Hai Bodong did not delay any further.

Under Old Yao's protection,

he immediately began his daily Medicinal Bath cultivation.

After Hai Bodong broke through to the seventh Divine Blood realm, thanks to his meticulous control over his entire physical body,

his current aptitude for cultivating Dou Qi,

in Old Yao's eyes as his master, was already no less than that of certain top geniuses from the Central Continent.

Therefore, with resources that were still fairly adequate,

Hai Bodong spent just over half a month reaching the realm of a nine-star Dou Huang.

After more than ten additional days of tempering,

Hai Bodong gradually felt that his foundation

had been tempered quite well.

He then directly consumed the peak sixth-grade Sect Breaking Pill that Old Yao had refined some time ago.

In a barren mountain outside the gates of the Jia Ma Imperial Capital, he began focusing on breaking through the bottleneck of the Dou Zong realm.

With Hai Bodong's current foundation,

it took him less than three days in total

to successfully become a Dou Zong expert.

After more than ten days of tempering,

he completely consolidated his one-star Dou Zong cultivation!

Just as Hai Bodong was preparing to return to his personal residence within the Mite'er Family,

he suddenly sensed with acute perception an immense aura that completely towered above heaven and earth.

Like a monstrous wave, it was rapidly sweeping toward the gates of the Jia Ma Imperial Capital.

Before long, Hai Bodong, standing in midair,

spotted the owner of that aura from afar.

A massive sixth-tier magical beast, the Eight-Winged Black Snake Emperor, comparable to a human Dou Huang expert... No...

The owner of that aura should be...

the mature and charming beauty in palace attire riding upon it, whose expression was utterly cold.

"Hehe! Interesting! According to Old Yao, this person possesses cultivation at the peak of the Dou Zong realm!"

"Then presumably... this woman should be the so-called manor lord of Heavenly Snake Manor!"

Hai Bodong silently thought as he watched.

Unlike Hai Bodong's relaxed calmness,

after sensing the powerful auras of the people from Heavenly Snake Manor,

which they made no effort whatsoever to conceal,

the many Dou Qi experts within the Jia Ma Imperial Capital

were like a flock of startled birds.

They each activated their Dou Qi Wings

and flew into the sky beyond the city gates.

They wanted to see exactly which faction,

possessing such immense strength,

had arrived at their Jia Ma Imperial Capital.
