Chapter 161: Finally entering the Qi Refining Realm, the Star Destiny is unlocked! Before I knew it, another three days had passed. As night fell today, the treasure ship named Xuanwu No. 1 was already empty without any outsiders. The treasure ship was tightly surrounded by the soldiers of the Qinglong Camp led by Cao Yongxiang himself. Tonight is a crucial night for the Renaissance Army and there can be no mistakes! Whether the Fuxing Army will soar into the sky in the future, or disappear into the world and become an inconspicuous wave in this big world, submerged by the surging waves of history, will depend to a large extent on tonight. It's nothing, tonight is the crucial night for the Fuxing Army's commander-in-chief Li Dingguo, the chief steward Hongmei, and the most special person in the Fuxing Army, Xiao Douya, to officially go into seclusion and make a breakthrough. Two days ago, Hongmei and Xiaodouya already felt that their cultivation of the third level of martial arts had reached the limit and there was no further improvement. After this period of fighting and training, Li Dingguo felt that the cultivation level he had been suppressing could no longer be suppressed. It's not that he doesn't want to break through to the Qi Refining Realm as soon as possible, or even leave all the geniuses far behind, but there is another reason. As the leader of a powerful force, Li Dingguo has to consider more than just his own level of cultivation.
No matter how talented you are, you are too young and have only been practicing for a short time. These two main reasons make it impossible to achieve success overnight. Even if he used the golden finger desperately and tried his best to improve and break through his own cultivation level, due to the great difficulty in obtaining luck, it was impossible for him to become a great master who could rule the world in a short period of time. In this end of the dynasty, all he can rely on is the revival army he founded. Only when the comprehensive strength of the Renaissance Army is improved can his safety be guaranteed and he can realize his dreams and wishes as he wishes. Therefore, it is more important to cultivate some capable helpers as much as possible than to make a breakthrough in one's own cultivation. As the leader of a powerful force, he must retain enough luck to ensure the smooth development of himself and the Renaissance Army. Otherwise, if their luck is insufficient, bad luck will come to both Li Dingguo himself and the soldiers of the Fuxing Army. Therefore, it is not that you cannot use your own golden finger, but you need to use it with a plan. In order to maximize the effectiveness of the thousand-year-old Nine-bend Spiritual Ginseng, he has been suppressing his cultivation, trying to use this thousand-year-old spiritual medicine to allow himself, Xiao Douya, and Hongmei to break through to the Qi Refining Realm together. With three Qi Refining Realm masters in charge, the overall strength of this Renaissance Army will undoubtedly experience an explosive growth. After discussing with Hongmei and Xiaodouya, everyone decided to start a collective retreat tonight to break through. The three of them planned to make use of the miraculous effects of the thousand-year-old Nine-bend Spirit Ginseng, as well as the use of a third-level peak soul bead and an enhanced version of the nourishing spirit soup to assist them. They would officially go into seclusion tonight and strive to break through to the initial fourth level of martial arts in one go. Once the three of them achieve their wish, the biggest shortcoming of the Renaissance Army will instantly disappear! The powerful force of the Renaissance Army's soldiers' increasingly proficient military killing formations will also be truly demonstrated. At that time, the biggest stumbling block blocking the rapid growth of the Renaissance Army will be completely removed, and the prototype of a truly strong army will quickly take shape. Once the three of them succeed, it will not be easy for the enemy to strangle this new force with unlimited potential. In this magical world, any force that does not have a Qi Refining Realm master in charge is actually just a bunch of clowns in the eyes of that powerful force. There is danger of destruction at every moment. This is the cruelty of this world of cultivators: the strong are respected. For this crucial moment, the Fuxing Army today is on high alert, with scouts from each camp even spread out over a hundred miles to maintain strict vigilance.
The soldiers have made up their minds that no external factors will be allowed to disturb the commander-in-chief's retreat and breakthrough! …… In a secret room on the treasure ship that was temporarily used as a place for retreat, Li Dingguo sat cross-legged on a special cushion on the ground with his five hearts facing the sky. He closed his eyes and regulated his breathing, first adjusting his state of mind to a calm state. Then he opened his eyes, picked up a large bowl of thick Thousand-Year-Old Nine-Bend Ginseng Soup and a bowl of enhanced Spirit-Nourishing Soup that were placed on the ground in front of him, and drank them both in one gulp without haste! Streams of warm and clear currents then continuously flowed out from the lower abdomen and instantly spread throughout the body! His face turned red instantly, and his aura began to fluctuate violently! Obviously, the spiritual energy contained in the two precious soups just taken is unprecedentedly surging and mellow! Li Dingguo did not hesitate at all. He closed his eyes and practiced his main technique, the Zhoutian Xingchen Zhenjing, with all his strength. He began to refine the two kinds of vast spiritual energy that kept growing in his body for his own use! As his main cultivation technique continued to operate, the aura that emanated from his body involuntarily became stronger and stronger, and was constantly improving! "Wave……" About half an hour later, a strange sound was faintly heard from Li Dingguo's body, and his aura began to surge instantly! Not surprisingly, with the blessing of his extremely solid martial arts foundation and the assistance of two kinds of natural treasures, the bottleneck of his peak body refining realm cultivation was broken through in one go, and he officially entered the early stage of Qi refining realm! "Buzz..." At this moment, a magical scene suddenly happened: a mysterious void passage suddenly appeared three feet above his head! Rays of silvery-white star power suddenly emerged from it, and together with the large amount of spiritual energy of heaven and earth that poured into the secret room due to the operation of the main practice method, a funnel-shaped vortex like a Tai Chi pattern was formed in an instant! In order to maximize the success rate of the three of them breaking through, Li Dingguo used two fourth-level soul beads and a dozen third-level soul beads to set up an enhanced version of the Five Elements Spirit Gathering Array before the three of them went into seclusion, covering the entire treasure ship. Now, in this treasure ship, because of the magical effect of the enhanced Five Elements Spirit Gathering Array, the concentration of spiritual energy of heaven and earth is at least ten times that of the outside world! Countless star powers and spiritual energy of heaven and earth poured into Li Dingguo’s Baihui Tianling and then entered his sea of consciousness. The power of the stars and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that continuously flowed into his sea of consciousness kept gathering in the center of his sea of consciousness! Another half hour passed, and in the middle of his sea of consciousness, above the Zhoutian Xingchen Zhenjing rune, a larger rune of heaven and earth appeared again! This extremely mysterious rune is at least twice as large as the martial arts rune! The power of the stars and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that were still pouring into his sea of consciousness continued to flow into this magical rune. About another half an hour passed, until this illusory rune of heaven and earth became as real as a substance, standing in the middle of his sea of consciousness. The power of the stars and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that poured into his sea of consciousness began to gradually weaken, until the vortex of air flow above Li Dingguo's head disappeared. After this breakthrough in cultivation, the biggest change began: as the Zhoutian Xingchen Zhenjing technique circulated, the Qi and blood in Li Dingguo's body began to rapidly transform into true Qi! Until the continuously generated true qi formed a new circulation route in the body, it then gathered at Li Dingguo's dantian three inches below his navel! "boom!" These increasing true qi, after reaching a limit, suddenly rushed towards a mysterious place in his dantian, exploded with a loud bang, and quickly opened and formed a mysterious space! This is the Qi Hai Dantian that can be clearly sensed by Li Dingguo himself! The moment the Qi Hai Dan Tian was opened, the true Qi in his body that was transformed and continuously generated through the operation of his main practice, continuously poured into the Qi Hai Dan Tian that had just been opened and continued to grow! Another half hour passed until the place where Li Dingguo had just opened to store his true energy, the Qi Hai Dantian, expanded to an area of nine zhang in radius and then stopped expanding. At this time, two sets of qi channels have been generated in his body, which are running in parallel: one set of qi channels uses the sea of essence in the center of the lumbar spine as the storage center, and the life essence in it is constantly nourishing the circulation of qi and blood. The other set of Qi channels was running with the Qi Hai Dan Tian, the Qi storage place that had just been opened, as the center, and the Qi that was constantly transformed and nurtured by the power of Qi and blood. As the new Qi continued to grow, it then circulated along the newly formed second set of Qi channels for a big cycle, and Li Dingguo's aura began to surge! At the same time, the impurities in his body were continuously discharged from his body under the constant flushing of the magical true qi! This round of breakthrough to a great realm had now reached its final stage: a dark yellow phantom of a huge bell began to rapidly form in his sea of consciousness! This huge phantom of the bell is the phantom of the martial arts that Li Dingguo generated after he broke through to the early stage of Qi Refining Realm. It was based on the warrior's own qualifications, talent, and bones! The entire process of the generation of the martial arts Dharma lasted for about half an hour before it gradually subsided! At this point, Li Dingguo finally completed this crucial round of breakthrough: from the peak of the third level of martial arts, he successfully broke through to the early stage of the fourth level of Qi Refining in martial arts. At this moment, his gold finger panel, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly appeared in his mind: "Host: Li Dingguo (Combat Power: Second-rate Intermediate General) Age: 10 Realm: Early stage of the fourth level of martial arts (Qi and blood have broken through the limit nine times)
Constitution: 83 (Physique includes comprehensive physical attributes such as strength, speed, agility, etc.) Spirit: 83 Martial Arts: Xuanhuang Chaos Bell (Ancient Artifact Shadow) Life weapon: Xuanhuang Bell (sealed: 2/9) (with magical powers: calming the soul, suppressing luck) Talents: Natural Power + (Advanced), Affinity with Spiritual Beasts + (Top Level), Photographic Memory (Not Upgradable) Skills: Tiger Roar Fist+(excellent), Riding+(excellent), Thunder Arrow+(excellent), Thunder Spear+(excellent), Blade Breaking+(perfect), Medical Skills+(perfect), Stealth+(excellent), Breath Control+(excellent), Five Elements Basic Spirit Gathering Formation+(proficient) Movement: Cloud Dragon Nine Revolutions + (Perfect) Main training method: Zhou Tian Xing Chen Zhen Jing + (Great Success) Luck: 36 (If the luck value is zero, you will suffer misfortune) Star Fate: Po Jun (enabled)" He first looked at the luck value that he cared about the most, and was delighted to find that the luck value, which was originally only 20 points because he used it to improve his affinity talent with top-level spirit beasts, had skyrocketed by 16 points, reaching an unprecedented 36 points! This is simply a huge surprise. During this period of time, he truly felt the many benefits of having great luck to protect him. As for his main practice, the Zhoutian Xingchen Zhenjing, breaking through to the great success realm, this was expected. "There are actually six types of combat skills that have reached the highest level of perfection?" Li Dingguo had already guessed that his progress in various combat skills had been very slow during this period of time, probably because of the limitations of his own cultivation level. Now seeing that with this great breakthrough in realm, his own cultivation had been substantially improved, and he actually possessed six kinds of combat skills at the level of perfection, he could not help but be overjoyed. It should be because of the excessive accumulation in the past. Now that Li Dingguo has just broken through to the early stage of Qi Refining Realm, his combat effectiveness has reached that of a second-rate intermediate general! Obviously, when the physical and mental attributes reach eighty points, it is the threshold to becoming a second-rate general. Now his combat effectiveness has reached the middle stage of a second-rate general. It is considered a big step forward in the realm of a second-rate general, reaching eighty-three points. He knew very well how difficult it was for a martial arts practitioner to increase his physical and mental values by one point after reaching 70. There is a limit to the human physique and spirit. The more you want to break through your own limits, the more difficult it will be. Li Dingguo guessed that even Zhang Xianzhong, the Eighth King who was in the middle fourth level of martial arts, was probably about the same as himself in terms of physique. In terms of spiritual attributes, he should be far ahead of the Eighth King Zhang Xianzhong. If the two of them were to face off now, Li Dingguo would be confident that he could defeat him. Generally speaking, it is impossible for a master in the Qi Refining Realm to challenge an opponent of a higher level. But nothing is absolute, it does exist. The legendary Cao Bianjiao and Lu Xiangsheng, two peerless geniuses, had once killed a strong man in the middle fourth level of martial arts with their cultivation level of the early fourth level of martial arts. In the world of cultivators, the peerless geniuses and other cultivators with great luck cannot be compared with ordinary geniuses. This kind of peerless genius can often do things that seem incredible to ordinary geniuses. Especially when equipped with advanced spiritual weapons and top-quality spiritual beasts and war horses, for a genius-level cultivator, challenging opponents of higher levels is not a big deal. "My life-saving magical weapon, the Xuan Huang Bell, was inexplicably released from another seal as my cultivation level broke through to the Qi Refining Stage?" "It has now actually unlocked two of its own passive magical powers: Soul Calming and Luck Suppression." "This... this mysterious and unusual treasure is too magical." At this time, Li Dingguo finally discovered the unusual change in his natal magic weapon, the Xuanhuang Bell, which he had just ignored, and it actually brought him a double surprise. Li Dingguo could guess that the soul-calming power should be able to guard his own soul and kill the evil spirits and ghosts that dared to invade his sea of consciousness.
As for suppressing luck, Li Dingguo could also guess that this should be able to suppress one's own luck and prevent it from being lost in case of certain special circumstances. Li Dingguo clearly felt that he still could not use this natal magic weapon. Otherwise, it should be possible to use it to suppress the fortune of the new force of the Renaissance Army that he had formed. Even though he had broken through to the early stage of Qi Refining, he could still only stare at this mysterious natal magic weapon and could not use it at all. But regardless, this is also a big surprise. This magical life-saving magic weapon was unsealed again, allowing Li Dingguo to see the possibility of actually using it in the future. "This... the martial arts form that I just condensed on my own is actually the shadow of a giant bell?" "Or is it the unknown mysterious ancient artifact Xuanhuang Chaos Bell?" As he checked the changes of the gold finger panel to the end, Li Dingguo looked at the introduction of his own natal Dharma image which was condensed by his own energy and spirit, and was suddenly stunned! In this vast world, aren’t the martial arts images that all the practitioners at the peak of the Body Refining Realm condensed by themselves when they break through the Qi Refining Realm all the phantoms of those various mythical beasts? How come it turned into the mysterious ancient artifact Xuanhuang Chaos Bell when it came to me? This...is this too outrageous? Li Dingguo now doesn’t know whether to complain or be happy. He really doesn’t know what to say. (End of this chapter)
