In fact, apart from the expansion of the faith of the Church of Light, the Corpse God Cult suffered some losses after a brief period of being caught off guard, and has already turned to the dark, even if a martial king realm strongman took action. After all, the Zichen Continent is too big, and there are countless mountains, forests, swamps, and huge northern wilderness and southern barbarians. As long as they don't gather together and hide in these mountains and forests, even a martial king realm strongman can do nothing.
Therefore, in recent times, the superpowers have gained less and less. However, facing the threat of the resurrected Corpse Ancestor, the superpowers dare not relax at all and are still searching for the remnants of the Corpse God Cult with all their might.
Moreover, the bounty on the remnants of the Corpse God Cult has been continuously increased, and even the news of the Corpse God Cult below the Martial King level has been investigated through the Wanxiang Building. However, as the Corpse God Cult continues to move into darkness, the effect of doing so is becoming less and less.
In addition to these, the superpowers also began to conduct self-examinations, investigating and clearing out the Corpse God Cult practitioners who might have infiltrated their own sects, in order to prevent the Corpse Ancestor from being resurrected, a war breaking out, and the news of the superpowers being exposed.
After some investigation, they indeed discovered quite a few remnants of the Corpse God Cult, but most of these practitioners were not very powerful. As for the powerful practitioners, they could not be detected by ordinary means alone.
After all, for high-level martial masters, apart from soul searching, the martial arts oath does not have much constraints on them at all. The chances of breaking through to the Martial King realm are originally slim, so even if they violate the martial arts oath, there will be no loss.
“Even the Tianjian Sect has infiltrated the remnants of the Corpse God Cult?” Yang Qi asked in surprise.
The Tianjian Sect follows an elite policy, and all the practitioners who are able to join the Tianjian Sect are geniuses among their peers. Even so, some of them have even been infiltrated by the Corpse God Sect. One can imagine the situation of other superpowers.
"Although some practitioners from the Corpse God Cult have infiltrated the Tianjian Sect, their number is not large. On the contrary, the Light God Cult has not conducted any self-inspection at all." Zhang Sanfeng sighed.
The Church of Light was founded on faith. If one violated faith, it would not be as simple as violating a martial arts oath. One would be likely to be attacked by the power of faith in the body, and the consequences would be much more serious. This is why many superpowers have never suspected that the Church of Light and the Corpse God Cult were related. A religion founded on faith is too exclusive.
"The situation of the Church of Light is indeed somewhat special." Yang Qi nodded.
Zhang Sanfeng's eyes fell on Yang Qi, and he frowned and said, "By the way, when you came back this time, I felt that you were a little different. You are obviously only at the peak of the martial arts master level, but you gave me the feeling that you are at the martial arts king level. What's going on?"
“During this period of retreat, I have undergone some changes. I can be considered to have stepped half a foot into the Martial King realm. If nothing unexpected happens, I will be able to reach the Martial King realm within a few months.” Yang Qi said.
Zhang Sanfeng nodded. As a disciple of Emperor Wu Shi, it was normal for Yang Qi to have some peculiarities.
“In that case, you should hurry up and break through to the Martial King realm. If you continue like this, the Corpse Ancestor will most likely be resurrected. Once the Corpse Ancestor is resurrected, the strong men in the Martial King realm will barely be able to protect themselves.” Zhang Sanfeng said in a deep voice.
Although the superpowers have taken active actions, the results have been minimal. If this continues, the Corpse Ancestor is very likely to be resurrected, and they don't have much strength left. If the Corpse Ancestor is resurrected, Yang Qi's strength will not be enough.
Yang Qi nodded slightly, bid farewell to Zhang Sanfeng, and rushed back to Tianjianmen. This time he was traveling for nearly a year. He was urgently summoned by Tang Qin to discuss the resurrection of the corpse ancestor. He hadn't seen Yun Lan for a year.
Yun Lan happened to not be in seclusion during this period, so after Yang Qi accompanied Yun Lan for a few more days, he continued to go into seclusion, striving to refine the energy of the Source Realm Pearl as soon as possible, complete the transformation of his life level, and enter the realm of Martial King.
The resources that Yang Qi had previously commissioned Zhang Sanfeng to collect have all been collected. During this retreat, Yang Qi directly let the Wordless Monument absorb these resources and evolve into a Taoist soldier.
Time passed, and in a blink of an eye, Yang Qi had been in seclusion for several months. During these months, the super forces had never stopped their crackdown on the Corpse God Cult, but as the Corpse God Cult went into hiding, the results were minimal.
Even the Martial King Realm warriors teamed up to investigate many places, trying to find the place where the Corpse Ancestor was resurrected, but they still failed! As time passed, the Martial King Realm warriors of the superpowers became more and more anxious, because they knew very well that the Corpse God Cult's plan to resurrect the Corpse Ancestor might have already begun.
Once the Corpse Ancestor is resurrected, what awaits them is a shocking war, a war that sweeps across the world of cultivation.
Just when the atmosphere on Zichen Continent became extremely depressing, Yang Qi finally completely refined the strange energy of the Source Realm Pearl, and his body and soul had undergone a qualitative change compared to that of the Martial Honor Realm.
“My perception can actually cover the entire Tianjian Sect. This level of perception range is probably already at the level of Martial King Realm, right?” Yang Qi said with emotion.
By completely releasing the perception, it was able to completely cover the entire Tianjian Gate. Of course, some special areas were still unable to be explored, but the areas that were not isolated from the perception could be easily explored.
"And my physical body has been strengthened a lot. This strength is probably close to the level of a Taoist soldier, right?" Yang Qi felt the changes in his physical body and was even more shocked. His physical body had already surpassed the level of a pseudo Taoist soldier and was comparable to a Taoist soldier.
With his current physical strength, even if he just stood there and allowed a cultivator at the peak of Martial Honor to attack him, it would be difficult for him to suffer any harm!
“Is this the transformation of life level? The body and soul have completely reached the level of Martial King.” Yang Qi sighed lightly.
With the transformation of his body and soul, he found that the Tao around him became extremely clear, as if he was in an ocean of Tao. As long as he was willing, he could easily comprehend the Tao of Hegemony Sword.
"It's not just the sword of dominance, there's also the fire of dominance!" Yang Qi's eyes condensed, and he muttered to himself,
As for the way of the Overlord Sword, Yang Qi felt it clearly. Besides the way of the Overlord Sword, there was the way of Fire.
He had already comprehended the sword intent of the perfect level in the way of the sword, but he had not comprehended the way of the fire. It was entirely because of the Black Flame Sword that he naturally comprehended the way of the fire after refining the Black Phoenix Flame. Of course, his realm was not too high, and he had not even reached the minor level of the realm of fire. He could only be regarded as comprehending the realm of fire.
"The Path of Fire..."
Yang Qi's eyes fixed, but he became a little hesitant.
If he could not break through the Martial King Realm in a short time, he might choose to try to practice the Path of Fire. However, now that he was about to break through the Martial King Realm, he was a little hesitant about whether to comprehend the Path of Fire. If he could not clearly sense the Path of Fire, it would be fine, but now he could clearly sense the Path of Fire. As long as he wanted, he could quickly practice the Path of Fire.
If his Fire Dao realm improves, he will be able to use the Black Flame Sword more easily! (To be continued)
