It has been several months since Yang Qi went out to travel. The reason why it took so long to break through to the Nine-Star Martial Master is because during this period of time, Yang Qi did not deliberately use elixirs to quickly improve his cultivation, but just practiced normally.
However, his cultivation had already reached the peak of the Eight-Star Martial Master, so it was only natural for him to break through to the Nine-Star Martial Master. Moreover, Yang Qi did not use any elixirs for this breakthrough, but only used the Yuan Crystal to set up a large formation, relying on the Gathering Spirit Formation and the Yuan Crystal to provide the heaven and earth energy needed for the breakthrough, which was why it took him several days to break through to the Nine-Star Martial Master.
Buzz~
In the training room, Yang Qi, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, suddenly opened his eyes. A sharp gleam of light flashed across his eyes, and the powerful aura on his body was quickly restrained.
Yang Qi's eyes narrowed, and he muttered to himself, "Nine-star Martial Master!"
The Nine-Star Martial Master is already the last level of the Martial Master Realm, and is the strongest group of practitioners in the Martial Master Realm. Although Yang Qi already possessed the combat power of a Nine-Star Martial Master, his strength still improved after breaking through to the Nine-Star Martial Master level.
Whoosh~
Yang Qi's hand trembled, and a sharp sword light shot out from his hand. The power of Tao contained in the sword light was much stronger than when he was in the sea of blood.
“With my current strength and the ability to perform secret techniques and fight with the Yuan Sword Classic, I’m afraid that any ordinary one-star early stage Martial King practitioner will be able to fight head-on!” Yang Qi said with a slight smile on his face.
Of course, this one-star martial king early stage practitioner is just an ordinary one-star martial king early stage, without a Taoist soldier, nor a practitioner who is good at attacking like the way of killing. But even so, Yang Qi now has the combat power of a martial king!
As far as Yang Qi knows, there are still a few practitioners in the entire Tianjian Sect who have combat power close to that of a Martial King and can survive under the hands of an ordinary Martial King, but there is no one else in the Martial Honor Realm who has the ability to fight a Martial King head-on except Lin Qingyu, and now there is one more person, Yang Qi!
There are only a handful of practitioners in the Martial Honor Realm who have the same combat power as the Martial King Realm in the entire Zichen Continent! After all, the gap between the two is too big. Just reaching the peak of the Martial Honor Realm and having a perfect state of mind, even with attack and defense pseudo-Tao soldiers, can only burst out the combat power of the half-step Martial King level at most. This is already the limit of a normal Martial Honor Peak practitioner, but it is only the combat power of the half-step Martial King, and there is still a huge gap from the combat power of the Martial King level!
Yang Qi's physical body had long surpassed that of the peak Martial Lord practitioners of the body refining school, and was even comparable to the Martial King powerhouses of the body refining school. With the addition of the heaven-defying sword technique of Yuan Jian Dian, he was able to unleash the combat power of the Martial King level!
It is impossible for ordinary practitioners to break the restrictions of the realm, but Yang Qi's physical body and sword skills are beyond the restrictions of the Martial Honor Realm, which is why he has such terrifying combat power!
This is because Yang Qi's cultivation level restricts the full display of his strength. If his cultivation level reaches the peak of Martial Master, his combat power will probably be greatly improved!
"I didn't expect that this retreat and breakthrough would take seven days." After calculating the time taken for this retreat and breakthrough, Yang Qi sighed in his heart and removed the isolation formation.
Except for the time when he was on Earth, due to the lack of heaven and earth vital energy, after entering the Zichen Continent, Yang Qi usually took a relatively short time to break through. The main reason was that he relied entirely on the medicinal power of elixirs or Yuan Crystals to provide the heaven and earth vital energy needed for breakthroughs, which greatly saved time.
However, as your cultivation level improves, if you want to continue to rely on elixirs or Yuan Crystals to provide the Yuan Qi of heaven and earth needed for breakthroughs, the amount required will be enormous!
Although Yang Qi did not use any elixirs this time, he still relied on Yuan Crystals, but not completely. Even so, it took him seven full days to achieve this breakthrough.
“No wonder high-level Martial Masters often go into seclusion for months or even years. Even breaking through to the Martial King realm takes a long time. Although a realm breakthrough is not difficult, absorbing enough Yuan Qi from heaven and earth to complete the breakthrough in cultivation is a long process.” Yang Qi sighed lightly.
"Um?"
At this moment, Yang Qi noticed the unusual movement of the communication token. After checking, he found that this was a message from Yun Lan. Combining the above content, he also understood that Yun Lan was worried about his safety.
Yang Qi immediately informed Yun Lan of his breakthrough to the Nine-Star Martial Master level through a messaging talisman, telling Yun Lan not to worry anymore. After reporting that he was safe, the two ended the messaging.
Yang Qi's eyes narrowed as he muttered to himself, "It's time to leave the Holy Empire. Next stop is the Great Zhou Empire!"
After leaving Tianjianmen, Yang Qi stayed in the Great Chu Empire for nearly a month at first, and then went to the Holy Empire, because the Holy Empire was the only place among the three empires he had not been to. He used to worry that the Church of Light would attack him, but now that he had the power to protect himself, he naturally came to the Holy Empire as soon as possible!
However, he was somewhat disappointed with the situation within the Holy Empire. The Church of Light and the royal family of the Holy Empire were fighting openly and secretly, and the two superpowers were constantly fighting.
Previously, the Holy Sword Sect was under investigation because of the presence of a traitor from the Corpse God Cult, which caused the Church of Light to be at a disadvantage recently. However, the Church of Light was founded on faith, and its internal structure was completely solid. Even if it was at a disadvantage, the Holy Empire could not do anything to the Church of Light. This was the terrifying power of faith!
After leaving the county town where he was staying, Yang Qi headed westwards, preparing to go to the Great Zhou Empire! Normally, the Great Zhou Empire was on the east side of the continent, but from the west of the Holy Empire, across the sea, one could still go to the Great Zhou Empire. Many exchanges between the Holy Empire and the Great Zhou Empire were conducted by sea!
This time, Yang Qi chose to travel to the Great Zhou Empire by sea, so that he could also appreciate the sea scenery of the Zichen Continent.
The Zichen Continent is mainly composed of a continent, with land occupying most of the area. The so-called sea is actually only one-third of the size of the Zichen Continent. The Zichen Continent here is not only the territory of the three major empires, but also includes the northern wilderness and southern barbarians occupied by monsters. Even if it is only one-third, it is still extremely vast.
In order not to reveal his identity, Yang Qi did not use his flying skills, but traveled directly on the ground. After several days of traveling, he finally arrived at the west coast of the Holy Empire and stopped at a port city of the prefectural level. Although he was traveling, he was actually traveling, just a little faster than before.
Looking at the Holy Empire behind him, Yang Qi raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice, "It's a pity that during these few months of traveling, the Corpse God Cult seems to have disappeared. Although I have found some practitioners of the Corpse God Cult, it is difficult to meet even practitioners at the Martial Honor Realm."
According to Tang Qin's reminder, he paid special attention to the news about the Corpse God Cult during his travels, but unfortunately he did not gain anything. (To be continued)
