After Chen Lei led his army back to the Holy Dynasty of Zhong Tang, he no longer cared about the affairs of the court. He handed over all matters to the ministers and practiced in seclusion.
The political affairs of the Holy Dynasty of the Middle Tang were all handled by special prime ministers and chief ministers. The old Holy Emperor at that time basically did not ask about the political affairs of the Holy Dynasty of the Middle Tang, and devoted himself to cultivation in seclusion.
Now that the world is at peace and the Middle Tang Dynasty is functioning normally, Chen Lei doesn't need to worry about it.
What Chen Lei wanted to do was to practice with peace of mind and consolidate his realm. After this battle, Chen Lei gained something in his heart, which could be said to be a huge gain.
Now, there are no more major wars in the Central Region, and Chen Lei wants to break through to the ninth level of Martial Emperor as soon as possible, because only in this way can he be one step closer to ascending to the Middle Realm.
Now, Chen Lei’s ultimate goal is to enter the middle realm and take himself to the next level.
Of course, if he wants to ascend to the middle realm, he must arrange all matters in the lower realm so that he has no worries before he can go to the middle realm.
It will take some time to arrange everything. Chen Lei wants to practice hard during this period, and it would be best if he can break through to the ninth level of the Martial Emperor.
However, during this retreat, Chen Lei discovered some problems.
Chen Lei discovered that after he broke through to the ninth level of the Martial Emperor realm, he encountered some more obstacles.
With his current level of cultivation, he only needs to break through the bottleneck of the Martial Emperor's ninth level of perfection, and then he will be able to successfully break through to the Martial Emperor's ninth level of perfection.
However, during this retreat, Chen Lei discovered that it was actually much more difficult for him to break through the bottleneck of the ninth level of Martial Emperor.
Above the bottleneck of the Martial Emperor's ninth level of perfection, there are several shackles formed by the rules of heaven and earth. If these shackles are not broken, it will be impossible to break through to the Martial Emperor's ninth level of perfection.
Chen Lei observed carefully and found that there were nine shackles formed by the rules of heaven and earth.
"Is this the backlash of the rules of heaven and earth?" Chen Lei pondered over it, and finally, he figured out the origin of these nine shackles of the rules of heaven and earth.
In this lower realm, he activated the domain of the rules of heaven and earth in the middle realm nine times. Although he used the Art of Deceiving Heaven each time to avoid the backlash of the rules of heaven and earth, in fact, he did not completely avoid the backlash of the rules of heaven and earth. The rules of heaven and earth backfired on him in another form, which were the shackles transformed by these nine rules of heaven and earth.
At this point, Chen Lei understood that heaven cannot be deceived. He thought that the Art of Deceiving Heaven could deceive the backlash of the rules of heaven and earth in the lower world, but in the end, he was only deceiving himself.
Chen Lei let out a long sigh. Originally, as long as he practiced hard for a period of time, relying on a large number of crystals and rare treasures, he would be able to break through to the ninth level of the Martial Emperor. But now, breaking through to the ninth level of the Martial Emperor has added many twists and turns.
He now wants to break through to the ninth level of the Martial Emperor realm. First of all, he must break free from the shackles formed by the nine rules of heaven and earth. If he cannot break free from the shackles formed by the nine rules of heaven and earth, then there is no way for him to break through to the ninth level of the Martial Emperor realm.
Thinking of this, Chen Lei decided that in the future, unless it was absolutely necessary and his life was in danger, he would never use the field of rules of heaven and earth in the middle realm easily. Using this field would indeed make him invincible in the world, but he would never be able to ascend to the middle realm.
