The so-called Source Qi, the mystery of the ninth realm

"I have long heard of your great name, Old Ancestor Xiaolie. Today, Wu Shi requests to fight!"

"I didn't expect it to be you. Fine, your schemes against the Qian Family have always been your doing..."

Inside the hall, everyone had already arrived in the clouds to watch the battle. They saw two extremely powerful auras erupt like the pure Bright Sun, and then quickly collided with each other.

At this moment, there were no deafening sounds of battle, only the constantly shattering space.

Wu Shi and Qian Xiaolie fought, there was no concept of Domain or martial arts techniques; it was simply a clash of worlds.

Seeing this, many Nine-Realm Ancestor gasped.

This kind of combat scene was truly beyond their expectations.

It seems like a battle between Martial Artist at a higher level.

Lin Yi raised an eyebrow. He originally thought that after he fused with the [Qiankun Yin Yang Dharma Body] talent, combined with his Domain and external skills, he would be able to become a king and ancestor in the Nine Realms.

But after seeing the battle commotion above, he realized that he had underestimated the power of the group of Ninth Realm Martial Saint had successfully nurtured the Small World.

If it had been him who came just now, he might not have been a match for Qian Xiaolie.

At this moment, drawn by the aftershocks of the battle between the two, the Southern Domain Witch led by Serlan and the Four-Headed Envoy Demon God Ram-headed Envoy were also watching from a distance.

Melderay exclaimed in shock, "Hiss, world power! This power has even touched the threshold of legendary Shaman. I never expected there to be so many experts in the Ancient Domain!"

"Is this a friendly spar or a fight to the death? If it's a draw, it's good news for our Southern Domain."

"Well, in any case, the Ancient Domain is currently beyond the capabilities of our Southern Domain to contend with. Our most urgent task is to consider how to resolve the problem of the Black Qi within us..."

On the other side, the four-headed divine Monster were also whispering among themselves, "Fortunately, Ze made us concede to the Ancient Domain. Not to mention the two Ancient Domain demons fighting in the sky, they would be enough to annihilate half of our Supreme Demon Domain."

"To say that the Supreme Demon Domain was destroyed is an exaggeration. As far as I know, my Supreme Demon Domain harbors a Demon Emperor."

"The Demon Emperor? How is that possible?"

"I don't know the specifics either, but I've heard that the Demon Emperor has been in a deep sleep, and I don't know whether he's dead or alive..."

"Unfortunately, if the Demon Emperor were here, both the Ancient Domain and the Southern Domain would become our food!"

In the sky, as the surrounding space, like a mirror, shattered, Wu Shi and Qian Xiaolie Time Stop.

Qian Xiaolie took a deep breath, his aged body trembling slightly.

Compared to the Wu Shi Wushi, he was ultimately too old.

"Wu Shi, if this fight continues, Tongguan Prefecture may cease to exist!"

Wu Shi said expressionlessly, "If you do not pursue the Born One Yi Xi and allow the Qian Family to leave, I can agree to a ceasefire."

"Alright, but the Qian Family cannot be restricted in the Ancient Secret Realm. Furthermore, you, Zun Sheng, Gu Chaokuang, and that Born One must all swear an oath not to seek revenge later."

Wu Shi nodded. "Alright."

Moments later, the two fell from the sky one after the other.

Qian Xiaolie dispersed the first wave of the Qian Family who had arrived in Tongguan Prefecture, and then news spread that the Qian Family did not need to reunite.

"Is it over?"

"Who will win and who will lose?"

"The Qian Family has all retreated; it's certain that Deputy Prefecture Lord Wushi has won. I never expected the Deputy Prefecture Lord of the Mage Division to possess such strength..."

Lin Yi also asked curiously via telepathy, "Master, I wonder who won and who lost?"

"I won by one move. Qian Xiaolie's body is aging after all, and he can't last as long as I can."

"Sharp!"

Lin Yi praised them, and then inquired about the methods used by Wu Shi and Qian Xiaolie earlier.

Fighting by harnessing the World Power within one's body—could this be a more advanced form of combat?

Wu Shi and said, "Since you are unwilling to enter the Ninth Realm now, you naturally do not know the power generated when the world was born. Now, extend your hand."

Lin Yi stretched out his palm, and saw Wu Shi pull out a milky-white, DNA double-helix-shaped gas thread.

"This is?"

Lin Yi instantly felt his Domain being suppressed by this double-helix-shaped gas thread.

These gas threads seem to be the product of the fusion of powers from multiple Domain, and their rank is high.

" To Martial Saint Nine Realms, one needs to insert their Domain into their Qi Sea Space to form a World Seed. At this point, it is considered the early stage of the ninth level, and most Ninth Realm Martial Saint are at this level."

"Only when the Profound Yellow Qi is sufficient can the World Seed of the Qi Sea Space germinate. This step is called Land Reclamation and is considered the middle stage of the Martial Saint Nine Realms."

Lin Yi raised an eyebrow. "Land Reclamation?"

Wu Shi nodded and said, "Yes, I learned this term from your Blue Star. As the name suggests, it means to transfer the soil, water, trees, flowers and other substances from the outside world into the newly sprouted World Seed, so that the world can grow."

"Is there a shortcut to this level?"

"Yes, a large amount of Source Stone is used as soil and mountains, and countless treasures are thrown into the World Seed. The higher the level of the treasure, the faster the Land Reclamation can be achieved."

"However, the best effect is to stabilize the world's rarest plants..."

Hearing this, Lin Yi understood. No wonder Wu Shi had coveted Wu Shi of his share of Lunar Condensation Dew.

At the mid-stage of the Martial Saint Nine Realms, the World Seed can consume anything.

Therefore, the many treasures he possesses can accelerate the growth of the World Seed.

For example, several golden Wanwu plants were obtained from the inherited medicinal source, and the Tongtian Sky-Reaching Jianmu Seed was discovered in the Yan Mu Sheng Qi Sea Space.

Perhaps when that Divine Sacrifice Tribe left behind the Sky-Reaching Jianmu Seed, there was a similar path.

"Master, what about the late stage of the ninth realm?"

Wu Shi shook his head. "Without the late stage of the Ninth Realm, after the Land Reclamation, the world will become stable and a special energy will be born. This energy is of extremely high grade. It is not True Qi, Spiritual Power, or Spirit Power, but the initial power of the world's birth."

"With this power, one can easily destroy True Qi and Divine Artifact Spiritual Treasure below the divine level."

"I call it Source Qi!"

Lin Yi asked again, "Is it the one you gave me?"

"Yes, the portion I gave you wasn't mine, it was Qian Xiaolie's."

Lin Yi was speechless. "And what about you?"

Wu Shi did not answer, but said only, "Source Qi is the most important means for every Ninth Realm Martial Saint. It is the foundation of martial arts. You must learn to control and release your Source Qi in battle. It is best not to let the enemy take it away, otherwise you will be easily targeted by the enemy."

"I understand. So, once the Source Qi is born in that Small World, it's considered a half-step six-star Martial Artist?"

"I have no idea."

Lin Yi asked in surprise, "Huh?"

Wu Shi continued to explain, "Everything I just told you was about my own journey on the path of martial arts. To tell you the truth, there is no Class Six Star Martial Artist lineage in the Ancient Domain. Perhaps there was once, but some beings have erased it."
