Cultivation Breakthrough, Mid-Stage Martial King

[Eating the Five Regions Holy Pill this time, the emotional burden on your heart was much lighter.]

["Oh, Pill, do not blame your master. Although I have bestowed upon you something akin to 'life', I must now take it away.

Do you know?

In this Human Realm, from the star domains above to the continents and overseas below, regardless of whether they are humans or demons, their fates are all carried on your master's shoulders!

Your master needs more power and lifespan to complete this great cause!"]

[Even though you didn't have the 'Chinese Succubus' trait equipped, you unconsciously entered the 'Chinese Succubus' state.]

[And surprisingly, the Five Regions Holy Pill was very receptive to it.]

["Master is right! Dan'er also wants to make a contribution to the Human Realm!"]

[You said with a smile.]

["Rest assured, we will meet again."]

["Really?"]

["Next time, Master won't have to eat you."]

["That's wonderful! Can Dan'er stay by Master's side forever?"]

["Of course."]

[Firmly believing in the time of your reunion, the Five Regions Holy Pill turned into medicinal efficacy full of anticipation, and merged into your entire body.]

[A familiar sensation emerged.]

[Your whole body was scorching hot, your flesh and blood boiled, and fire spewed from your seven orifices.]

[After everything calmed down, you rushed out of the house and tested some moves in the mountains and forests.]

["Thanks to 'Bad News from the Martial Arts Circle' enhancing the medicinal efficacy, otherwise taking it at the Martial King Realm probably wouldn't have such a good effect."]

[Your lifespan increased by another forty years.]

[At the same time, your physique transformed, and your physical body became purer. For the Martial King Realm, establishing a foundation would be easier, which meant that natural cultivation would increase your cultivation base faster.]

[In addition, your comprehension was developed and enhanced. The comprehension here was all-encompassing, which would also be helpful for your later understanding of the Dao of Formations.]

[Moreover, you gained immunity to poison, which was equivalent to having an extra, more effective 'Senior Tomato User' trait.]

[Finally, your cultivation base received a direct boost, stepping directly from the early stage of the Martial King Realm into the mid-stage of the Martial King Realm!]

[This meant that your current outward realm subsequently reached the mid-stage of the Martial Saint Realm!]

[The difficulty of cultivating in the Martial King Realm was harder than all the previous realms combined.]

[Being able to break through a minor realm so quickly could be described as moving at the speed of light.]

[One must know that many people who were lucky enough to break through to the Martial King Realm would stay in the early stage for their entire lives, because their foundation could never be established any higher.]

[At this moment, you suddenly had an epiphany.]

["It feels like the cultivation in the Martial King Realm doesn't have such a huge relationship with one's root bone anymore.

The root bone can make true qi accumulate faster, but what most people lack is not the speed of true qi accumulation, but rather the inability to elevate their foundation.

And establishing a foundation doesn't seem to have that much to do with the root bone..."]

[As your realm continuously improved, you gradually began to touch the edge of the knowledge within the cultivation system.]

[Because the human race's inheritance had been broken once, the more advanced principles were now mastered by fewer people, and the things comprehended from them were fewer.]

[The further you cultivated, the less others could teach you; everything required you to comprehend it yourself.]

["It's time to return to the Holy Land and elevate my Dao of Formations.

Although I can't see the Dragonkin making any moves in the Human Realm right now, the fewer moves they make, the more worrying it is...

Before going back, I should go see Lingyue."]

[You didn't like the idea of passing by your home three times without entering; since you were already here, there was no harm in meeting up.]

[The forty-third year, sixty-two years old.]

[Extracting traits...]

[Extraction successful!]

['Tanks Have Rearview Mirrors' (Green Rare): An invisible eye grows on your back, providing you with vision behind your head.]

[Adjust traits?]

[Yes/No]

[You replaced 'Irritable Physique' with 'Aura of Myriad Races'.]

[You replaced 'Bad News from the Martial Arts Circle' with 'Swimming Dragon Teasing the Phoenix'.]

[You rode your horse to the Southern Border.]

[The border between the Central Plains and the Southern Border was still engulfed in continuous flames of war.]

[However, the intensity of the war was not high.]

[It basically didn't affect the areas where civilians lived; they would agree on a place in the wilderness, line up their formations for a decisive battle, fighting with somewhat of the aristocratic temperament of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, discussing and negotiating things out.]

[The Empress was currently busy with matters concerning the war.]

[However, you didn't plan to go to the military camp to find her this time.]

[Both you and the Empress had Carefree Tokens, so you could set up a date directly.]

[You arrived at a remote location in the Southern Border, where there was a field of myriad flowers.]

[The flowers here were incredibly huge, colorful, and exquisitely beautiful in shape, clustered tightly next to one another like a natural trampoline.]

[You waited here for Li Lingyue.]

[When you sensed Li Lingyue, you released the Nine Provinces Cauldron.]

["Da Chun, take your little friends to play somewhere else, come back in a day... no, in a month."]

[You stuffed all your artifacts into the Cauldron Realm.]

[This time, you were prepared to truly spend time alone with Li Lingyue.]

[Upon hearing you tell them to leave, the Myriad Soul Banner excitedly started yelling on the spot.]

["Buddy! I can't leave! Buddy! If I leave, who will protect you! Who will share your burdens! Who will tie up your long hair, and who will make your wedding dress!!"]

[The Demon Refining Pot complained from the side.]

["Hey! You're so happy you're speaking incoherently, and you're still pretending to be loyal here?"]

[You just smiled and said nothing.]

[As long as Da Chun didn't open the exit to the Cauldron Realm, none of them could come out.]

[It was just that the Myriad Soul Banner didn't seem to realize this.]

["Brother Yi, if we all leave, will you really be okay?"]

["Don't worry, looking across the Human Realm, who can harm two Martial Saints."]

[The Nine Provinces Cauldron flew away.]

[Li Lingyue flew over.]

[Separated for many years, meeting again, you both had a lot to say to each other.]

[But as a career-oriented male lead and a career-oriented female lead, the two of you first chatted about some work-related matters.]

["With you slipping away to come here, can the military and political affairs still operate smoothly?"]

["I left a clone behind, there won't be any problems."]

["That's good."]

["How is the war preparation plan progressing on your end? Have you encountered any resistance?"]

["With the Shen family taking the lead, and the full support of the Holy Land and the Wang family of the Chaotic Crystal Sea, everything is currently going smoothly."]

["That's good."]

[The serious matters were done being discussed.]

[You started getting down to the real business.]

[The giant flowers in the myriad flower field closed towards the center, their magnificent colors flashing brilliantly under the sunlight, exuding a charming fragrance.]

[For the next month, this entire area was permeated with a sweet aura of happiness.]

["Chen, will the Dragonkin really come?"]

["Yes, all the Void Realm planes are their targets. If they don't come this time, they will come in the future; it's just a matter of time. I actually hope they arrive within my lifetime."]

["Why?"]

["I don't trust the wisdom of future generations. We must accomplish our goals in one decisive battle!"]

["What if we don't live to see that day?"]

["Then, as my lifespan nears its end, I will bring all the power of the Human Realm and charge into the Dragonkin Realm at any cost!"]

[Li Lingyue looked up from your embrace, her gaze firm.]

["I will accompany you."]

[You looked down and smiled.]

["Okay."]
