"Boom..." Eight Phantom Bodies in the room shifted, and suddenly one trembled and vanished. The remaining seven Phantom Bodies inexplicably exuded a stronger aura.
"Gather!" All seven Phantom Bodies disappeared, and Ren Pingsheng stood in the room, eyes closed, quietly sensing for a moment. "Not bad, the strength of the seven Phantom Bodies is now infinitely close to one-third of my true strength. I believe that if I merge one more Phantom Body, I should succeed."
"The next step is to familiarize myself with Artistic Conception and sword intent, and then elevate my Demonic Path cultivation as well." He murmured softly, and then his figure vanished without a trace.
His initial Demonic Path cultivation had already broken through but was constrained by the Soul Refinement Technique. Now that the Soul Refinement Technique had long since broken through and condensed into True Essence, his progress on the Demonic Path could also be considered a breakthrough. The best approach would be to slowly absorb and condense Demonic Essence, but unfortunately, time was pressing; the Qinglong Palace would open in three months. He needed to leverage that celestial phenomenon to absorb demonic energy more quickly.
That night, in an inconspicuous small mountain several thousand miles away from Nanzhou City, a celestial phenomenon appeared within a twenty-mile radius, with countless streams of demonic energy surging in. Anyone with a bit of knowledge could recognize that someone was breaking through, and it was a practitioner of the Demonic Path.
Unfortunately, this place was rarely visited, and Ren Pingsheng's breakthrough timing was swift. After an hour, the entire phenomenon vanished, and his Demonic Path cultivation surged significantly. Thanks to his experience with True Essence, he utilized the demonic energy gathered from this phenomenon to condense hundreds of drops of Demonic Essence in just one hour. His current Demonic Path cultivation was now infinitely close to the initial stage of the sect level.
Regardless of how chaotic the outside world was due to the Qinglong Order, with blood flowing like rivers, Ren Pingsheng diligently practiced every day. His mastery of Artistic Conception and sword intent became increasingly proficient; he could operate them freely without any issues despite their explosive growth.
"Yes, now both my Demonic Path and True Essence cultivations are solidly at the initial stage. I've completely mastered Artistic Conception and sword intent, and my Ninefold Illusion Body has also made progress; it's almost ready. The Qinglong Palace should be opening soon!" Ren Pingsheng looked out the window.
There were still five days until the opening of the Qinglong Palace, and most martial artists had already set off towards the Duantian Gorge two million miles west of Nanzhou City. Along the way, killings were incessant, with countless casualties.
"Qingyi, here are some spirit stones and gold and silver. While I'm away, stay well in Nanzhou City, okay?" Ren Pingsheng handed her a spatial ring, concern etched on his face.
"Ren Brother, I want to go with you. I don't want to stay here alone." Yi Qingyi said eagerly, tugging at his sleeve.
"No way, I'm going on an adventure. It's very dangerous there; besides, only I can enter that place. You won't be able to get in even if you go. Wait for me here. When I return, I'll take you to other fun places, how about that?" He felt somewhat helpless but still rejected her hopeful gaze.
"Then... when you come back, I want to see your hometown. If you don't agree, I'll follow you." She thought for a long time before reluctantly saying this.
"Is that so? Well, I've decided that once this matter is over, I'll be going back. But aren't you going home? My birthplace is very far from here."
"It's fine, if I want to go back, I can easily do so, so don't worry about it."
"Alright then, wait for me to come back here." Ren Pingsheng nodded in agreement. After giving her a couple of instructions, he turned and left.
The Qinglong Palace is two hundred thousand miles west of Nanzhou City, with the nearest first-tier city being Duantian City, which is only a hundred thousand miles away. Ren Pingsheng first teleported from Nanzhou City to Duantian City. Once he arrived there, he didn't need to rush; a journey of a hundred thousand miles would take him just two days at most.
At this time, there were many talented individuals in Duantian City, including several who were on the Sword Testing Tower rankings. There were even more geniuses on the sect rankings, but unfortunately, Ren Pingsheng didn't recognize any of them. He had just recently broken through to the sect level and was unfamiliar with those figures on the rankings.
Although the Qinglong Palace required cultivation levels above the respect level but below the king level, upon closer observation, most of the martial artists coming and going in Duantian City were at the sect level, with quite a few at the respect level as well. However, it seemed that very few would enter the Qinglong Palace, as doing so would be tantamount to seeking death.
In the eyes of those sect-level martial artists, they truly appeared as lambs to the slaughter, let alone obtaining any inheritance. Unless one had extraordinary luck, there was little hope.
"What a coincidence! I didn't expect to run into you here. It seems your cultivation has already broken through," Ren Pingsheng said with a smile upon seeing the person before him.
"Haha, yes! It's all thanks to those two magic pills you gave me before; otherwise, I wouldn't have broken through so quickly," Demon Prince said with a smile as he walked over and sat down directly.
At this point, his cultivation had also reached the sect level. It was evident that in these ten months, his strength had undergone tremendous changes. Perhaps neither of them could be considered top-tier yet, but surviving here shouldn't be too difficult.
"Oh, then congratulations! But it seems there should be quite a few familiar faces here this time."
"Yes! Since I was able to break through, they must have as well. As for others, some of them should have also made breakthroughs. The Sword Master Rankings and Warrior Honor List are likely to have many vacancies now."
"Indeed! With our group leaving, new talents will probably fill those spots soon," Ren Pingsheng said with a smile. After chatting for a while and having their fill of food and drink, they left Duantian City and headed towards Duantian Gorge. Many martial artists were also making their way there, so they didn't feel lonely on their journey.
As they got closer to Broken Sky Valley, the number of martial artists increased, along with the fighting and killing. Ren Pingsheng and Demon Prince had also been targeted along the way. Fortunately, both of them were strong. With their initial-level Zongji Jing cultivation, they could still escape from high-level Zongji Jing opponents, which helped them avoid a lot of trouble.
"Oh, you two have arrived." The two soon reached the location where Azure Dragon Hall appeared, but it was crowded with people. However, Xiao Cangjian and the others had already arrived and were waving at them from a distance.
"Xiao Cangjian, Skywind, Azure Dragon, Phoenix Luan. You all made it; your cultivation has also broken through." Seeing familiar faces, they hurried over. Among so many people, they had some acquaintances.
"Ah, Seven Cleverness, you’re here too. I didn't expect you to break through as well." Demon Prince said with some surprise upon seeing another person. He seemed somewhat incredulous about her presence.
"What's wrong? Is it strange for me to be here?" This was a beautiful woman who appeared very quiet, her eyes seemingly filled with countless wisdom.
"Not at all; it's just been a long time since we last met, so I'm a bit surprised." Demon Prince quickly shook his head. For some reason, Ren Pingsheng felt that he seemed a little afraid of this woman.
After getting acquainted with each other, they gathered to discuss some cooperation matters regarding entering Azure Dragon Hall. Although they were all geniuses, their cultivation levels were still somewhat low. While survival might not be difficult, seizing the inheritance would be dangerous. Thus, cooperation was necessary!
As time passed, another person joined them—Bai Chongguang, the Shadow Sword Sovereign ranked Sixth on the Sword Master Rankings—who had also broken through in cultivation.
At this moment, the martial artists in Broken Sword Gorge began to stir restlessly. This time, not only young martial artists had come; there were also some older generation martial artists among them. Some were escorting their Young Masters while others came alone.
The Zongji Jing martial artists occupied more than half of the crowd, while the rest were at the Supreme Realm level. They all waited eagerly for the opening of Azure Dragon Hall. Some martial artists without the Azure Dragon Token looked frustrated as they scanned their surroundings but dared not act rashly. There were too many martial artists here; acting recklessly would only cost them their lives.
Suddenly, the entire gorge began to shake violently, kicking up dust and stones. Some lower-level martial artists struggled to maintain their footing.
Then, within thousands of feet at the center of the gorge, a sudden collapse occurred as if a sinkhole had formed. It was dark and bottomless, resembling a monster that could swallow everything.
Boom... boom... The sound echoed like a heartbeat, as if something was about to awaken. The intense noise resonated in everyone's hearts like thunder and drumbeats.
"Poof..." Many martial artists were shaken back, spitting blood from the intense tremors. They looked pale with fear, and many retreated, afraid of suffering the same fate.
"Something is coming out!" Those with higher cultivation levels were naturally unaffected, their eyes fixed intently as the black hole began to stir. Roaring sounds echoed continuously, signaling that something was about to emerge.
"This is... the Azure Dragon Palace!" As a palace-like structure emerged from the black hole, many martial artists' faces flushed with excitement. This was the place of inheritance they had long coveted.
The palace did not appear particularly magnificent or grand, but it exuded an air of mystery. It instantly captured everyone's attention, like the sun in the sky.
"Buzz buzz..." The Azure Dragon Palace soared to a height of five or six hundred meters, then trembled a few times, suddenly expanding several times in size. It loomed ominously over them.
After a moment, the Azure Dragon Palace quieted down, and its main doors suddenly swung open. Rays of Multicolored Radiance cascaded down, dazzling and extraordinary, spanning across the sky before finally landing on the ground as if inviting everyone in.
"This is Five Elements Radiance; it is said to be immensely powerful. Even an imperial-level expert would be trapped with no chance of survival. I never expected to see it here." Some well-informed individuals immediately recognized this Multicolored Radiance.
"Haha, the Azure Dragon Palace has opened! Hurry and go inside!" One martial artist could no longer contain his excitement and dashed toward the Azure Dragon Palace along the path of Multicolored Radiance.
"Ah... ah..." Suddenly, more than ten martial artists who had only taken a couple of steps let out horrified screams. One by one, they were surrounded by the Multicolored Radiance, seemingly enduring endless pain before turning into wisps of azure smoke and vanishing.
"W-what... how could this happen?" Some martial artists who were preparing to rush forward turned pale with fright and immediately halted their steps.
"Hmph, trying to fish in troubled waters without an Azure Dragon Token—how foolish." Some martial artists at the perfected realm glanced at them disdainfully before stepping onto the Multicolored Radiance and walking straight toward the Azure Dragon Palace without any hesitation.
