Chapter 88: Dragon Soaring Over Mountains and Rivers Spirit Body

Xu Yan is breaking through to the Innate Realm, the Heavenly Bridge connecting, the essence of heaven and earth entering his body, and the dantian qi sea being opened.

His physical body is also undergoing transformation, as if thoroughly cleansing itself of all mundane impurities, becoming flawless and free from the dust of the world.

Strands of innate true qi are being condensed.

Rumbling, the innate true qi opens the dantian qi sea, circulating through the body's meridians.

"This is the dantian qi sea, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, transforming it into innate true qi..."

The dantian expands continuously under the impact of the essence, and the innate true qi continues to rise.

A vast amount of qi and blood has been condensed into innate true qi.

Xu Yan is still in the process of advancing, the transformation continues, the dantian qi sea continues to expand, the essence of heaven and earth keeps pouring into his body, and the innate true qi continues to rise.

It seems that the dantian qi sea can never be filled.

"I have already comprehended a sword intent, but the Dragon Subduing Palm has yet to reveal its true meaning. Now is the time."

Xu Yan thought.

In his mind, the image of his master performing the Dragon Subduing Palm appeared, the massive golden dragon seeming to possess the might of a true dragon.

Roar!

A dragon's roar seemed to echo within his body, and on the Heavenly Bridge, a dragon appeared, rolling with the essence, gradually changing from a deep red to gold.

Golden dragon!

At a certain moment, the sword intent of mountains and rivers emerged, as if the vicissitudes of time and the turning of the ages were presented within the sword intent.

One sword reveals the mountains and rivers, one sword destroys the mountains and rivers!

The sword intent surged, the golden dragon roared.

At a certain moment, the golden dragon seemed to open its eyes, becoming even more real.

Its eyes were fierce, overlooking all living things, gazing upon the mountains and rivers, its might too great to behold.

In that instant, Xu Yan felt he had comprehended.

Boom!

In the dantian qi sea, a shadow of a golden dragon appeared, coiling and circling within the qi sea, its eyes fierce.

The golden dragon seemed to have only an outline, without scales or whiskers, but its eyes were fierce, as if possessing immense divine might.

"I finally understand, this is the dragon's might, one of the meanings of the Dragon Subduing Palm, its power over the world is just like this!"

At that moment, Xu Yan comprehended.

The true meaning of the dragon's might in the Dragon Subduing Palm was suddenly understood.

Fierce essence of heaven and earth surged in, pouring into his body like strong liquor, making Xu Yan feel completely refreshed and comfortable.

His entire being was in a state of sublimation.

Outside the hill, Li Xuan stood in the air, silently watching Xu Yan's breakthrough.

His breakthrough was completed instantly due to the golden finger's feedback.

But Xu Yan is truly practicing diligently, and the process of breaking through is not something that can be completed in an instant.

Especially breaking through from the Blood Qi Realm to the Innate Realm, this is a process that truly transcends the mundane.

"Mountain and river sword intent... Is this something Xu Yan has comprehended during his breakthrough?"

Li Xuan was pleasantly surprised.

Xu Yan is undergoing some kind of transformation, not just a simple breakthrough to the Innate Realm. The moment the mountain and river sword intent appeared, Li Xuan sensed some changes.

"Is Xu Yan applying the sword intent to his breakthrough?"

Li Xuan's face was filled with anticipation.

This is a good thing. The more extraordinary Xu Yan is, the stronger the feedback from the golden finger will be after this breakthrough.

"Xu Yan's physical body is getting stronger, and the mountain and river sword intent seems to be fusing with his physical body, or perhaps it's not just sword intent..."

"What's really going on?"

Li Xuan was amazed.

Xu Yan is constantly transforming.

He continued to watch silently, waiting for Xu Yan to complete his breakthrough and for the golden finger's feedback.

Suddenly!

A fierce might surged from Xu Yan's body.

It was as if a golden dragon was coiling within him.

"Hmm? Could it be that Xu Yan has already comprehended the true meaning of the Dragon Subduing Palm?"

Li Xuan was overjoyed.

Once the true meaning of the Dragon Subduing Palm is comprehended, it means that the level of the Dragon Subduing Palm has been further enhanced.

It is one step closer to truly possessing the power to subdue dragons.

Meng Chong stood on a large tree, also watching Xu Yan's breakthrough. Although he could not perceive Xu Yan's changes as clearly as Li Xuan,

He could still sense that Xu Yan was getting stronger, giving him a feeling of transcending the mundane.

"This is the Innate Realm!"

Meng Chong was deeply moved.

"I practice physical martial arts, what was it like when I broke through to the Innate Realm?"

He still didn't know how to practice physical martial arts after the Blood Qi Realm.

His master had not yet taught him the cultivation method after the Blood Qi Realm.

"I must strive to achieve the Great Sun Golden Bell Shield."

Meng Chong thought.

After achieving the Great Sun Golden Bell Shield, his master would teach him the next stage of cultivation.

Xu Yan, sitting cross-legged on the ground, suddenly rose slowly into the air.

A golden dragon coiled beneath him, as if lifting him into the air.

"Finally breaking through."

Li Xuan was delighted.

Xu Yan's breakthrough means that the golden finger's feedback is also coming.

Xu Yan, suspended in the air, suddenly stood up, his face filled with excitement, finally breaking through!

At this moment, he can absorb the essence of heaven and earth at any time, his true qi never runs out, and he never feels hungry.

Truly transcending the mundane!

In his excitement, he raised his hand and struck a palm, the golden dragon roaring, its might terrifying, especially its eyes, which made people shudder with fear!

His index and middle fingers together, he pointed a sword, the mountain and river sword intent sweeping, as if capable of burying all living things.

His strength has become incomparable to what it was before!

At the moment of Xu Yan's breakthrough, the golden finger's feedback arrived.

Li Xuan then understood what transformation had occurred during Xu Yan's breakthrough.

"Your disciple Xu Yan, practicing the cultivation method you created, broke through to the Innate Realm, you achieved the Innate Realm, your strength is a hundred times that of the same realm."

"Your disciple's Dragon Subduing Palm reached the third level, comprehending the true meaning of the dragon's might, you achieved the third level of the Dragon Subduing Palm, the true meaning of the dragon's might is fully realized."

"Your disciple's Jade Bone of Mountains and Rivers, with the dragon soaring within, transformed into the Dragon Soaring Over Mountains and Rivers Spirit Bone, you obtained the Dragon Soaring Over Mountains and Rivers Spirit Body."

Dragon Soaring Over Mountains and Rivers Spirit Body!

Li Xuan was extremely excited. The harvest from Xu Yan's breakthrough was truly immense.

His strength soared instantly.

Not long after obtaining the innate spirit bone, he now obtained the Dragon Soaring Over Mountains and Rivers Spirit Body.

At this moment, Li Xuan perceived the subtleties of the spirit body. Without needing to practice any cultivation method, the essence of heaven and earth would enter his body on its own, constantly condensing into true qi.

He had a natural affinity with the essence of heaven and earth and all spiritual objects.

The Dragon Soaring Over Mountains and Rivers Spirit Body made it feel as if a dragon was soaring within him, the mountains and rivers hidden, containing immense power.

"With my current strength, can I dominate the Inner Domain?"

"Can I even defeat a Grandmaster?"

Li Xuan thought excitedly.

However, the situation in the Inner Domain cannot be taken lightly. Blood Heartless and Xie Lingfeng may not have fully understood the secrets of the Inner Domain.

A Grandmaster of the Qi Cultivation Realm may not be the pinnacle.

Moreover, among Grandmasters, the difference in strength can be significant.

Blood Heartless practices a demonic cultivation method, appearing powerful but actually harboring hidden flaws.

Xie Lingfeng is still young.

Therefore, he must not become arrogant and must not think that there are no more powerful people in this world.

Li Xuan glanced at Meng Chong below, hoping his second disciple would also be more capable.

Since Xu Yan had broken through, he no longer continued to watch and directly left, returning to the small courtyard.

Feeling great today, he gave Shi Er some guidance and taught him the method of refining the organs.

A thread of mountain and river sword intent appeared, helping Shi Er refine his bones faster.

Shi Er was overjoyed. At this rate of refining bones, it wouldn't be long before he could complete the refinement of copper bones.

He didn't expect to refine gold bones, but after refining copper bones, he would start refining his organs, striving to enter the martial arts realm as soon as possible.

After breaking through, Xu Yan did not return immediately but continued to consolidate his realm.

Meng Chong stood under the scorching sun, practicing the Great Sun Golden Bell Shield. At this moment, he entered a subtle state.

The sun in his heart resonated with the sun in the sky, a wave of scorching heat spreading throughout his body, the lustrous golden light shining brightly, the golden bell of qi and blood becoming stronger, and his physical body rapidly strengthening.

"The sun in my heart resonates with the sun in the sky, I have finally achieved it, my cultivation speed has increased, I feel like I am getting stronger in a furnace."

Meng Chong was extremely excited.

He felt that he was not far from achieving the initial stage of the Great Sun Golden Bell Shield.

Xu Yan returned on the third day after his breakthrough.

"Master, I have broken through to the Innate Realm."

Xu Yan said excitedly.

"Very good, my disciple, you have truly embarked on the path of martial arts. Do not slack off, strive to achieve the Innate Realm."

Li Xuan said with a look of satisfaction.

"Yes, Master!"

Xu Yan said respectfully.

Looking at Shi Er, who was truly practicing, Xu Yan sensed a faint sword intent, as if it was surrounding Shi Er, making his bone refinement faster.

"Master, what is happening to Shi Er?"

"Shi Er's talent is average, his cultivation is too slow. A thread of sword intent will help him cultivate faster."

Li Xuan said with a smile: "Shi Er's copper bones are basically his limit, but achieving copper bones means he has left the ranks of the lowest martial artists."

Xu Yan thought for a moment and said, "Master, can I also use sword intent to help my parents and others quickly complete their bone refinement?"

Li Xuan smiled and said, "The foundation of martial arts must be built on one's own, step by step, solid cultivation, and understanding the experience of cultivation. Hasty assistance will ultimately result in a weak foundation.

"However, if there is no hope of achieving gold bones, it is not a problem. Using sword intent to refine bones, only achieving copper bones, does not count as hasty assistance.

"Control the degree, do not let the sword intent harm anyone."

Xu Yan suddenly understood, thinking, "As long as one does not have the talent of an ancient genius, using sword intent to refine bones will not result in a weak foundation."

Thinking this, Xu Yan suddenly realized, "Originally, Master must have seen that I had the potential of an ancient genius, so he did not use sword intent to assist me in refining bones, but let me build a solid foundation step by step."

"Yes, Master, I understand."

Xu Yan nodded happily.

Since the sword intent can help his parents speed up their bone refinement, this is a good thing, and he did not think that his parents had the talent of an ancient genius.

Moreover, they started practicing martial arts at an older age, which was already a bit late.

Being able to refine copper bones is already quite good.

"Why is Shi Er's copper bones a bit weak?"

Xu Yan asked in confusion.

Shi Er was in the process of refining copper bones, but he was much weaker than Xu Yan was at the copper bone stage.

"Even among copper bones, there are differences."

Li Xuan explained.

"Is that so!"

Xu Yan's eyes lit up, and he asked excitedly, "Master, is my jade bone strong or weak among jade bones?"

Li Xuan chuckled, thinking, "Strong or weak? Besides me, your jade bone is the strongest, especially now that it has further transformed into the Dragon Soaring Over Mountains and Rivers Spirit Bone."

But he said, "Disciple, as long as your martial arts heart is pure, and you have the belief to never be inferior to anyone, you will never be inferior to anyone!"

Xu Yan was deep in thought.

"Master's words mean that there are jade bones stronger than mine, but as long as my martial arts heart is firm, I can catch up and not be inferior to them!"

His eyes were determined, full of fighting spirit, "Master, rest assured, my martial arts heart will never waver, I will hold the belief of never being inferior to anyone and continue to practice, not being defeated by any setbacks!"

"Good! With this belief, I believe you will not be inferior to anyone!"

Li Xuan said with satisfaction.

But in his heart, he added, "Except for me."

"Master, Xie Lingfeng and the others want to visit you, should I see them?"

Xu Yan mentioned Xie Lingfeng.

Li Xuan pondered.

"Xie Lingfeng comes from the Inner Domain's Sword Venerable Cliff, a very strong force in the Inner Domain, and his background is not ordinary, so he must have many martial arts cultivation methods.

"If there are cultivation methods from the Inner Domain, it will be easier to create cultivation methods, and they won't be weak.

"These two have been convinced by Xu Yan that they are practicing false martial arts, and they are definitely thinking about how to switch to true martial arts.

"The inner qi of Grandmasters is actually similar to true qi. To convert it to true qi, it just needs to be purified, which can enhance it to become true qi, though it won't be innate true qi."

Xie Lingfeng wants to see him for martial arts matters.

The inner qi of Grandmasters is actually true qi, just with a different name in the Inner Domain.

However, it is much weaker than innate true qi.

To convert it to true qi, it just needs to be purified and enhanced.

As for the method, Li Xuan, being a fully realized Innate Realm practitioner with innate spirit bones and the Dragon Soaring Over Mountains and Rivers Spirit Body, can use the essence of heaven and earth far better than other martial artists.

Purifying the inner qi and converting it to true qi is not difficult for him.

It's just a matter of slightly modifying the method of condensing qi and blood into innate true qi.

Of course, the true qi condensed from inner qi will be weaker than pure innate true qi.

However, this is relative to gold or jade bone martial artists. For martial artists below copper bones, it may not be much weaker, and the inner qi of Inner Domain martial artists also varies in strength.

Xie Lingfeng's inner qi is stronger than Blood Heartless's.

If he condenses it into true qi, although it won't match Xu Yan's innate true qi, it definitely won't be weaker than the innate true qi of copper bone martial artists like Shi Er. After all, Xie Lingfeng is a genius in the Inner Domain.

"Sure, let him come over when he has time."

Li Xuan nodded.

Xie Lingfeng has a background in the Inner Domain, and Xu Yan will eventually go to the Inner Domain. Xie Lingfeng is a decent person, and it's good to expand his network in the Inner Domain.

Moreover, if a true and false martial arts conflict really erupts, it will be an additional force.

Of course, the most important thing is to obtain the Inner Domain's martial arts cultivation methods from Xie Lingfeng and the others. With a reference, creating subsequent cultivation methods will be easier.
