The reason for separating from Qian Renxue was that the two of them could no longer improve in this Doomsday Canyon, and there was no point in staying any longer.
The traps and dangers that are everywhere here have lost all meaning for the two of them. With their current strength, they don't feel threatened at all, and thus the sense of being forced has been lost.
Those who could pose a threat to the two were at least Soul Beast with a certain level of strength, and these Soul Beast had already begun to develop their own consciousness.
So although both of them consciously spared the lives of these Soul Beast, knowing they were no match for them, they wouldn't be foolish enough to attack first. In the end, no creature dared to cause trouble for the two of them anymore.
So the two agreed to cultivate together again when they had the chance, and then they parted ways, with Qi Ling beginning her next stage of cultivation.
After Qi Ling's Soul Power reached level 50, the most important thing for her, besides obtaining her Fifth Soul Ring, was to undergo her fifth body tempering in order to elevate her Nine Revolutions True Dragon Art to the fifth level.
As for the method of body tempering, it remains the same as before, requiring him to thoroughly strengthen his body while enduring immense pain.
The prerequisite for enhancement is that Qi Ling must first completely destroy his own body, and then rebuild from that destruction to gain even greater power.
However, even if Qi Ling relaxes all his defenses after cultivating to his current level, destroying his bones is not an easy task and requires finding a special method.
Although Qi Ling had cultivated his Fourth Layer True Dragon Body within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, his body developed resistance to Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well afterward, making it impossible to use the same method again.
Therefore, in order to successfully break through, Qi Ling must find another training method that can meet his requirements.
"Damn it, when will this ever end? Is it really this difficult to do something so reckless?" Qi Ling muttered to herself in frustration after searching for days without success.
In the past few days, he had tried every method he could find, whether it was jumping off a cliff, crashing into something, or being washed by a waterfall, but none of them could meet the requirements, because his body was now far too strong, far beyond his imagination.
On this day, Qi Ling searched all the way and came to a forest he had never been to before. Just when he thought he would return empty-handed Tianyi, he encountered an unexpected person.
" Uncle Hao? What are you doing here?" Qi Ling asked in surprise, looking at Tang Hao, whom she hadn't seen for a long time.
Compared to many years ago, Tang Hao now appears more weathered, yet his strength as Titled Douluo remains undiminished. Even when he completely conceals his aura, his mere presence is like an insurmountable mountain, leaving everyone in awe.
"Hey, Qi Ling, long time no see," Tang Hao said with a slight smile. "It seems your strength has improved quite a bit!"
"My Xiao San and I have been cultivating here for a year now. Xiao San's almost finished her first stage of cultivation when we met you."
"Oh? Xiao San is here too?" Qi Ling said happily. It seems that this is the forest where Tang Hao is giving Tang San special training. Here, Tang Hao will teach Tang San the real Chaotic Cloak Hammer, which will greatly improve Tang San's strength.
Led by Tang Hao, Qi Ling quickly arrived at the place where Tang San was practicing. There, under a waterfall, Tang San, dressed in a single layer of clothing, was wielding a wooden hammer and striking the waterfall repeatedly.
"What is this?" Qi Ling asked in confusion.
"This is the training plan I devised for Xiao San. Only when he achieves all my goals will he be considered to have mastered how to use the Clear Sky Hammer," Tang Hao said.
" Xiao San has now completed the first stage of training and can fully execute the Eighty-One Hammers of the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer. He is currently undergoing the second stage of training."
"The second stage? What stage? Does it mean he has to use that wooden hammer to hit the waterfall?"
"That's right," Tang Hao said. "The first stage, called 'lifting heavy objects with ease,' is to train his strength and skills; the second stage, called 'lifting light objects with heaviness,' is to train his ability to control strength."
"When he can use this wooden hammer to complete the eighty-one strikes of the Chaotic Cloak under the waterfall, he will have passed the second stage."
Qi Ling couldn't help but laugh and said, "Handling heavy things with ease, and light things with great force, how interesting!"
The Chaotic Cloak Eighty-One Hammers is the core technique of the Clear Sky Sect, and also the technique that best unleashes the power of the Clear Sky Hammer. In essence, it is just a method of applying power.
His own Dragon Controlling Force was similar, a method of applying power, and its level was undoubtedly much higher than the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer. Therefore, Qi Ling couldn't help but wonder: since he had already mastered the Dragon Controlling Force, could he also master the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer?
Just then, Tang San, who was wielding a wooden hammer under the waterfall, suddenly found that the hammer could not withstand his strength and broke in two from the handle.
Tang San, who had failed at the last minute, was clearly used to this kind of thing, having experienced it before. He simply sighed helplessly, then walked into the woods and silently took out a spare wooden hammer.
" Xiao San, why don't you take a rest?" Tang Hao said at this moment. "Look who's here."
Tang San looked over and immediately saw Qi Ling. He couldn't help but say happily, "Big brother? What are you doing here?"
Qi Ling smiled and said, "I was also in the process of cultivating when I happened to pass by and saw Uncle Hao. I learned that you were cultivating here, so I thought I'd come and see you."
Tang San was naturally delighted to see Qi Ling. After some inquiries, Qi Ling asked, " Xiao San, it seems you're training now too? How's it going?"
Tang San looked frustrated and said, "I'm currently undergoing the second stage of training that my father assigned me, which is to make light work feel heavy. But even though I feel like I'm almost there, I always fall short, so I keep failing."
Qi Ling said with interest, "Really? Even you're troubled by this, so this training must be really difficult. Xiao San, give me the hammer, let me try it out."
Upon hearing Qi Ling's words, Tang San handed the wooden hammer to Qi Ling, saying, "Brother, this wooden hammer is really difficult to use, and you have to use the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer to swing it eighty-one times. Even you probably couldn't do it."
