"Signing in..."

"Signing in... sign-in successful!"

"Congratulations, host. You have obtained a Divine Rank Upper Grade Cultivation Method, the Seven Orifices Exquisite Immortal Art!"

"This sign-in is complete. The sign-in reward will be delivered immediately. Please check and receive it, host!"

"The next sign-in will unlock at midnight tomorrow!"

A Divine Rank Upper Grade Cultivation Method?

Ji Zining looked surprised.

Wasn't Emperor Rank Upper Grade the highest grade a Cultivation Method could reach?

What grade of Cultivation Method was this Divine Rank Upper Grade, and why had she never heard of it?

Divine Rank...

Before she had time to think further, streams of incomparably profound information suddenly flooded her mind.

Compared to when Ji Chenkong had imparted the Flowing Moon Heart Sutra to her, this information was countless times more profound!

Ji Zining dared not think any further. She hurriedly closed her eyes and began comprehending and receiving it.

As she received the profound information, realization and shock appeared on Ji Zining's face.

A Divine Rank Cultivation Method!

So that was how it was!

Of the commonly known Cultivation Method grades, Emperor Rank Upper Grade was the highest.

In the entire True Martial Dao Domain, the number of factions possessing Emperor Rank Cultivation Methods probably did not exceed the fingers on two hands.

Those possessing Emperor Rank Upper Grade methods numbered no more than the fingers on one hand!

Only a Great Emperor could create an Emperor Rank Cultivation Method!

However, no Great Emperor had appeared in the True Martial Dao Domain since the era of High Antiquity.

With Great Emperors gone, Quasi-Emperors were now the strongest experts in the True Martial Dao Domain.

With no Great Emperors being born, naturally no new Great Emperor Cultivation Methods were being created.

As time passed, some Emperor Rank Cultivation Methods gradually vanished without a trace when the factions that possessed them were destroyed.

The Emperor Rank Cultivation Methods that still survived today were basically all kept within the four great holy lands.

Only a scattered few Emperor Rank Cultivation Methods were preserved by the other holy land-level factions beneath the four great holy lands.

But Ji Zining had only just learned that above Emperor Rank Cultivation Methods, there was another grade unknown to the world!

It was the very Divine Rank she had just obtained through signing in!

Divine Rank Upper Grade was the highest grade of Cultivation Method within Divine Rank!

It could be said that no Cultivation Method of this grade existed anywhere in the True Martial Dao Domain!

As her comprehension deepened and she received more and more information, Ji Zining's excitement became impossible to put into words.

Her first sign-in had given her the strongest physique of all ages, the Exquisite Immortal Physique!

Her second sign-in had given her a Divine Rank Upper Grade Cultivation Method, a grade above Emperor Rank and unknown to the world: the Seven Orifices Exquisite Immortal Art!

And as its name made clear, the Seven Orifices Exquisite Immortal Art was a match for the Exquisite Immortal Physique!

With these two strongest things, her future cultivation would surely be even faster.

After a long while, Ji Zining opened her eyes, her face full of joy.

A Divine Rank Upper Grade Cultivation Method, the Seven Orifices Exquisite Immortal Art!

Just as its name suggested, the method had seven layers in total, each stronger than the last!

Every layer she broke through would directly double her combat power!

In theory, cultivating to the highest, seventh layer would directly increase her combat power sixty-fourfold!

Defying the heavens! It truly defied the heavens!

Ji Zining had never imagined that a Cultivation Method could directly multiply combat power.

With the Seven Orifices Exquisite Immortal Art, fighting above her level would be as simple as eating and drinking!

On top of that, the immortal spiritual Qi unique to her Exquisite Immortal Physique could raise her combat power to yet another level!

Forcing down her excitement, Ji Zining closed her eyes again and began switching Cultivation Methods.

Switching Cultivation Methods required her to disperse her cultivation and cultivate anew with the new method.

However, this dispersal was merely superficial; her actual foundation remained.

When cultivating again, she would need only a very short time to recover her cultivation.

A moment later, Ji Zining's cultivation presence, which had reached the Peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm, began to decline.

Peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm... Foundation Establishment Realm Seventh Layer... Foundation Establishment Realm Fifth Layer...

Soon, it fell to the Foundation Establishment Realm First Layer, but even then, it did not stop falling.

Qi Refining Realm Ninth Layer... Qi Refining Realm Sixth Layer... Qi Refining Realm Fifth Layer...

After the time it took to drink a cup of tea, Ji Zining's cultivation had completely dispersed, and she had become a mortal without cultivation once more.

Feeling the weakness in her body, Ji Zining was somewhat unaccustomed to it.

To possess power and then have it suddenly vanish was a feeling that could drive a person mad.

It truly was easy to go from frugality to luxury, but hard to go from luxury back to frugality!

Fortunately, this unfamiliar feeling would not last long.

Following the circulation route of the Seven Orifices Exquisite Immortal Art, Ji Zining sensed Spiritual Qi and began cultivating in earnest.

As soon as she began cultivating, her cultivation started soaring like a rocket.

After one breath, she reached the Qi Refining Realm Sixth Layer. Another breath later, she surged to the Peak Qi Refining Realm!

Then, after another two breaths, she broke through the Foundation Establishment Realm barrier and returned to the Foundation Establishment Realm!

After that, she advanced one minor realm with every breath. Within a few breaths, Ji Zining had returned to her previous peak cultivation.

The Peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm!

With such a terrifying rate of improvement, the consumption was terrifying as well.

The supreme-grade Spirit Stones were continuously drained of their Spiritual Qi, turning into useless rocks,

and all the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi around the hall was drawn toward the hall where Ji Zining was, pouring into it.

But right now, supreme-grade Spirit Stones were the one thing Ji Zining did not lack.

After reaching the Peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm, Ji Zining sent a thought, and a great pile of supreme-grade Spirit Stones flew out of her storage ring and landed around her.

Immediately afterward, she abruptly accelerated the circulation of the Seven Orifices Exquisite Immortal Art.

This time, she would break through to the Golden Core Realm in one sustained effort!

After spending two hours tempering her foundation, it was incomparably stable, and she could break through to the Golden Core Realm!

After breaking through to the Golden Core Realm, she could achieve Grain Avoidance and survive by absorbing Spiritual Qi even without eating.

More importantly, after reaching the Golden Core Realm, she could fly through the air!

That was what Ji Zining looked forward to most.

In her previous life, flying freely through the sky had always been her wish.

Now, it was time for that wish to come true!

Although she would have to survive the Three-Nine Heavenly Tribulation after breaking through to the Golden Core Realm before she could truly be considered to have reached it,

with the Exquisite Immortal Physique and the Seven Orifices Exquisite Immortal Art to rely on, Ji Zining was not afraid of the heavenly tribulation. Instead, she looked forward to it somewhat.

She had never tried being struck by lightning before, so this was a perfect chance to give it a try!

"Now!"

Ji Zining roared in her heart as her presence surged ceaselessly around her.

The spiritual power in her body struck the barrier to the Golden Core Realm in a continuous stream, making it tremble constantly.

After dozens of impacts, a crack finally opened in the realm barrier.

Ji Zining focused her mind and, in one sustained effort, directly mobilized all the spiritual power in her body to strike it again.

"Bang!"

"Boom!"

The Golden Core Realm barrier shattered, and Ji Zining's cultivation broke through to the Golden Core Realm First Layer!

At that moment, a round, crystalline golden core spun within Ji Zining's body, giving off wisps of immortal spiritual Qi and bearing a trace of profoundness.

"Rumble!"

Just as she broke through, a black tribulation cloud began to gather above the hall where Ji Zining was.

Within the tribulation cloud, purple tribulation lightning churned ceaselessly, carrying a terrifying presence.

It was already late at night, and the sound of the rolling tribulation lightning alerted everyone in the imperial palace.

They all stepped out of their rooms and looked toward the hall where Ji Zining was.

When they saw where the tribulation cloud was gathering, the guards and palace maids in the imperial palace were shaken.

That was the hall where the eldest princess was!

Although they knew that the eldest princess's severed meridians had disappeared and that she could cultivate,

they had never imagined that she could reach the Golden Core Realm in a single day!

That heavenly tribulation was unmistakably the Golden Core Realm's Three-Nine Heavenly Tribulation!

Inside a hall.

Ji Chenkong and Chen Qingqian looked toward the hall where Ji Zining was, their expressions turning solemn as well.

Had she broken through to the Golden Core Realm so quickly?

As expected of the strongest physique of all ages, the Exquisite Immortal Physique!

Inside the hall where Ji Zining was, she opened her eyes, her face full of exhilaration.

The feeling of breaking through to the Golden Core Realm was wonderful, as though her very level of life had risen.

She stood up and looked overhead, a faint smile on her face.

"Let me see just how powerful the Three-Nine Heavenly Tribulation is."

Before her words had faded, Ji Zining moved and headed out of the hall.
