Chapter 1140: The So-Called Essence, Qi, and Spirit

“No, it’s not about constantly entering the body, but rather entering life itself. This is the essence of Inner Qi refinement, which is the first stage. Once you reach this stage, unless some external force destroys it, you won’t regress,” Huang Zhong explained with a nod.

Like Lü Bu, Huang Zhong had reached the peak early, so he often reflected on the steps he had taken, making him very clear about each phase of the process.

Of course, people like Tong Yuan and Wa...

Chapter 1139: The So-Called Inner Qi

The next day, Lu Yu bade farewell to his sister-in-law, while Lu Xun said goodbye to his parents. As usual, they both set out to visit their respective teachers. However, once they stepped out, they suddenly remembered that today was a holiday.

"I guess I'll go look for those two guys," Lu Xun and Lu Yu both muttered as they felt their empty stomachs. The two of them always showed up at their teachers’ houses before dawn, so it was common for the Jia and Chen families to prepar...

Chapter 1138: The Three Parties About to Meet

Because of how well they got along, Li You felt that maybe his daughter should still marry Zhuge Liang, even if it meant becoming a concubine. After all, his daughter was quite beautiful. Thus, Li You prepared to marry his daughter off as a concubine to Zhuge Liang. However, once again, Li You’s hopes were crushed.

When Huang Yueying, Zhuge Liang's legitimate wife, appeared, Li You was thoroughly defeated. Not only was Huang Yueying virtuous and intelligent, but she was also in...

Chapter 1137: The Studies of the Younger Generation

Liu Ba, filled with the ambition to achieve greatness, began dedicating himself to furthering Cao Cao’s cause. Of course, when Guan Yu saw Liu Ba appear in court, sitting behind Cao Cao, his displeasure was clear and no longer concealed.

However, Liu Ba could only offer an apology to Guan Yu, expressing that he would repay the favor when the opportunity arose. Despite this, Liu Ba did not favor Liu Bei, and he disliked the young and accomplished Chen Xi just as much. But such f...

Chapter 1136: The Path to Self-Destruction

The fact is, the banking system was built at the insistence of the aristocratic families and wealthy merchants who strongly wanted to hold onto Chen Xi’s support. However, for a comprehensive coverage across all regions, Chen Xi needed the assistance of these aristocratic families and merchants. After all, they each had a complete network of contacts in their respective territories, which formed the prototype of the aristocratic clans' networks.

Of course, in areas where Chen X...

Chapter 262: Curse Technique, Xia Jing Exits the Stage, and Is Meng Kun Stirring Things Up?

“This is quite the novelty.”

The ninetieth floor of the Secret Arts Tower at Tianyuan Academy was a restricted area, accessible only to Doctors of Ritual Studies.

Anyone capable of cultivating the Myriad Law Manifestation was undoubtedly a prodigy of the Self School.

Yet, this individual also seemed to be exploring top-tier cloud techniques.

Li Boqian’s curiosity was instantly piqued.

“Senior, your cultivation is profound, and your methods are beyo...

Chapter 261: The Ultimate Heavenly Timing Law and Grand Shennong Li Boqian

“The Seven-Star Diagram of Spirit and Soul of the first layer—he’s managed to cultivate two soul stars in just half a month. Such a prodigy is my discovery!” Lord Tianyan smiled proudly.

“However, I can’t let him know this yet. Revealing it now might make him arrogant. I’ll wait until he fully comprehends the first layer. At his current pace, he has the potential to become the fastest person to cultivate the Seven-Star Diagram of Spirit and Soul.”

Lord Tiany...

Chapter 460: The Tower of Cultivation

"Treading all over in search, only to find it effortlessly in the end," Lin San's lips curled into a smile.

In the next moment, with a mere thought, the Soul Restoration Grass disappeared from his hand and was placed securely into his storage space.

At this moment, Lin San activated his cultivation technique, letting it run automatically. The energy he had absorbed earlier quickly circulated through his body, being fully refined and digested.

The surrounding Martial G...

Chapter 459: Must Continue to Strengthen

Seeing the scene before him, Lin San furrowed his brows.

"What is this?"

At that moment, the images of the Eight-Star Peak Martial Gods extended their hands simultaneously. From their palms, an overwhelming surge of ice energy erupted!

The powerful ice energy surged toward Lin San from all directions. His pupils contracted slightly as he felt the terrifying force approaching from every angle. There was no room to evade now.

The surrounding area immediately froze...

Chapter 458: Frozen

Each time Lin San swung his sword, a shower of blood splattered through the air. Soon, all the Martial Gods around him fell to the ground, their bodies lifeless.

Numerous primordial spirits were scattered from the fallen Martial Gods.

With another swift slash from Lin San, those primordial spirits were immediately cleaved in two!

[Killed Eight-Star Martial God, gained 800,000,000 evolution points.]

Chapter 457: Powerful Passive Ability

At that moment, Lin San gripped his sword tightly and charged forward with incredible speed.

"You're courting death!"

The Martial God, seeing Lin San dare to attack, roared angrily and met his charge, clashing swords with him in an instant.

Clang, clang, clang—

As their weapons collided, the impact produced explosive sounds, and sparks flew everywhere.

Peak of Eight-Star

In their brief exchange, Lin San quickly sensed that his opponent was a peak-l...

Chapter 456: Soul Restoration Grass

In the ruins ahead, Lin San seemed to have discovered another book!

He quickly ran over, picked it up, and examined it closely.

"It's similar to the one I found earlier."

After a careful look, Lin San muttered to himself.

He blew gently, scattering the dust that had gathered on the book’s cover.

Just like the previous one, this book also had a number-like character on its cover.

"This one says seventeen, right?" Lin San mused as he looked at the sy...

Chapter 560: Lingxian Sect Has a Nascent Soul Cultivator

As for whether the shops will successfully open next month, who can say?

After all, if Lingxian Sect fails to gather enough spirit stones and the deal falls through, well, so be it. It’s not like there haven't been countless failed or shuttered markets in the mortal realm before.

However, a piece of news about Lingxian Sect spread through the world of mortal cultivators like wildfire.

Lingxian Sect has a Nascent Soul cultivator!

This rumor initially came from ...

Chapter 559: The Academy Expands Enrollment

As they conversed, the "public bus," which resembled a carriage with four wheels, came to a stop in front of them.

Wen Xiangzhi took a closer look and noticed that the carriage-like vehicle had a row of small square windows. Through those tiny windows, he could see people seated inside—more than one, in fact! But what astonished him was that the people inside seemed much smaller than normal, their heads and bodies appearing disproportionately small.

Hu Defu, noticing the Wen fam...

Chapter 665: The Counterattack Begins

A soul power giant arrow, thicker than an arm, shattered the forehead of the laughing Sacred Spirit Sect disciple, and its residual force obliterated the three Sacred Spirit Sect disciples behind him before dissipating.

This scene left the remaining thirty-seven Sacred Spirit Sect disciples standing around in confusion, unable to comprehend what had just happened.

In the blink of an eye, their team leader had been annihilated?

Boom!

At this moment, the Yuan fami...

Chapter 664: Gathering of the Eight Directions

Swish! Swish! Swish!

The continuous sound of breaking air echoed through the sky as they flew towards the distance. Whether it was the Imperial Army or the War Beast Army, their departure was orderly and disciplined, not a bit chaotic.

The Imperial Army and War Beast Army ascended into the sky in an orderly manner, leaving in batches. Under the eruption of soul power, they continuously disappeared into the wasteland, heading in all directions.

The aerial-type warships...

Chapter 663: Full-Scale Attack

At this moment, Lin Qian appeared on the soul vision screen high above the city.

“Your Majesty, it’s Your Majesty!”

“The soul vision screen has been activated in advance, and His Majesty has appeared; it must be something significant.”

In the southern domain of the Huaxia Empire, people watched the content displayed on the soul vision screen, looking up with curiosity, eagerly waiting to hear what His Majesty had to say.

“People of the Huaxia Empire,...

Chapter 662: Public Announcement

The murderous intent in Lin Qian’s voice caused the temperature in the entire council hall to plummet, becoming extremely icy.

"All elders, immediately arrange for the retreat of the Yuan family’s disciples. There is no need for desperate resistance, which could lead to unnecessary casualties. Since you are the Yuan family of the Hua Xia Empire, the Hua Xia Empire's army will naturally protect you thoroughly. As for the Eight Directions Forces, I will ensure they do not retur...

Chapter 661: Revenge and Resentment

It has been a full seven days since Lin Qian learned that the eight forces led by the Jiang family had joined forces.

During these seven days, the Yuan family has been under attack. However, the territories controlled by the Xia Empire in the central region have not been attacked yet because the Jiang family and the Yuan Ling Chamber of Commerce are being held back by Ling Tian and his subordinate forces, resulting in a deadlock.

Ling Tian, once the leader of the Yuan Ling ...

Chapter 1135: The Origins of Trust

Liu Ba was confident before he started working, but once he got involved, he realized that his bank had to be linked to the Taishan Bank, and the aristocratic families had already agreed to Chen Xi's terms—seventy percent of the money had already been moved to the main bank.

Without this constraint, Chen Xi wouldn't have dared to expand the bank into Cao Cao’s territory, as it involves bearing the risk of credit. But with seventy percent of the actual cash transferred, the cr...

Chapter 1134: One Power in the World

When Liu Ba saw the detailed information on Liu Bei's faction, he completely sobered up. The difference between the two sides was enormous. First of all, Cao Cao was extremely short on funds, while Liu Bei was incredibly wealthy.

What shocked Liu Ba even more was when he learned the full reality of Liu Bei's situation. This wasn't just about borrowing money through clever rebranding; the real terror wasn't the bank itself, but the people using it!

Maintaining an army is ext...

Chapter 1133: Defying Heaven

Cao Cao seemed to grasp something from Liu Ba’s explanation, but his mind wasn’t well-suited for financial matters. Even though Liu Ba had explained it to this extent, Cao Cao still hadn’t fully understood.

"Master, think of the deposit certificates Chen Zichuan issues as IOUs, and you’ll understand," Liu Ba said with a bitter smile. He had fully realized how Chen Xi operated, but even knowing it, there was nothing he could do to stop it.

Cao Cao opened his mouth, s...

Chapter 1132: A Failed Attempt, Startled Instead

Cao Cao sneered inwardly, not giving Liu Ba the chance to speak first. He immediately voiced the ideas Liu Ba was about to share. Did Liu Ba really think there were no capable men under Cao Cao's command? People like Xun Yu and Chen Qun had far sharper minds than Liu Ba, and they had already analyzed these situations in much more detail than Liu Ba could ever provide.

The current situation wasn't due to Cao Cao's men being incapable; rather, it was because Liu Bei, as his opponen...

Chapter 1131: Liu Ba's Grand Scheme

As Liu Ba entered Cao Cao's courtyard, he instinctively adjusted his headpiece. Although his current attire could not compare to the fine Shu silk he had worn back in Sichuan, the confidence he exuded was more than enough for Cao Cao to instantly recognize Liu Ba's uniqueness.

The difference between commoners and noble families lies in their demeanor. The habits, manners, and refinement of an aristocratic family take three generations to fully cultivate. As the saying goes, “Dr...

Chapter 260: King Tianyan’s Shock: Unprecedented Cultivation Speed!

“Master top-tier Heavenly Timing techniques within three years? And if you fail, abandon your positions and dedicate yourself solely to the Heavenly Timing Dao? Zhao Xing, you must be underestimating the difficulty of mastering top-tier techniques!” Hengyuan, usually composed, frowned deeply as he spoke.

Zhao Xing’s statement brimmed with confidence—bordering on arrogance.

To understand, even achieving proficiency in top-tier techniques within five years is a remark...

Chapter 259: Mastering Top-Tier Time Techniques in Three Years?!

Xiao Ming quickly stepped outside, only to see ten soldiers clad in azure armor standing at the entrance. The leader of the group was a giant of a man, towering at three meters tall. A height like his should have made him appear thin, but instead, he looked stout, with arms thicker than most people’s waists—almost as if they could host a horse race atop them!

Xiao Ming had never heard of a "Dragon Martial Marquis," but this man’s imposing aura made it clear he was not someo...

Chapter 455: Ancient Relics

As the golden flames illuminated the surroundings, Lin San could now see everything clearly.

"What is this..."

Upon closer inspection, the walls and the ground seemed to be covered with numerous granules.

Under the light of the golden flames, these granules glimmered sharply.

"It looks like some kind of special ore."

"Could this be a high-grade material for crafting?"

Seeing this, Lin San was silently astonished.

Although he wasn't sure of its ...

Chapter 454: Absorbing Everything

A powerful eight-star Martial God had been slain in such a short time! How much strength was needed to achieve something like that?

As they looked toward Lin San, his gaze also swept over them.

When their eyes met, a trace of panic appeared on their faces.

Without saying a word, Lin San's figure flashed and rushed toward them!

His speed was incredibly fast, and in the blink of an eye, he had already reached the group of Martial Gods!

Moreover, Lin San coul...

Chapter 453: Instant Kill of the Eight-Star Martial God

At that moment, upon closer inspection, they realized that Lin San had already appeared in another part of the area.

“Hmph!”

“You dodged pretty fast,” one of the Martial Gods sneered coldly upon seeing this.

Ignoring Lin San, he moved directly to sit in the center of the stone slab.

Whoosh—

But just as he was about to sit, a terrifying burst of golden flames shot toward him!

The Martial God quickly turned his head, his eyes widening in shoc...

Chapter 452: Battle for the Position

At this moment, the Martial Gods were scanning the surroundings with their eyes.

"Divine Plants!"

Upon seeing this, their faces lit up with excitement.

Without hesitation, the Martial Gods abandoned their interest in the Divine Source Stones and rushed to snatch the Divine Plants!

"I saw this first!!"

"Get lost!"

"…"

They began fighting fiercely over the Divine Plants.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

As the battles broke out, the surrounding sp...
