"The Strongest Martial Emperor in the City"!
In the void, nine huge cities stood. This was the Jiuyuan City outside the nest of the Nine Cultivation Forces Alliance! Although Tianyuan City was the nest of the Nine Cultivation Forces Alliance, it was not open to outsiders, so outsiders could not enter it. On the contrary, outsiders could enter and exit Jiuyuan City freely.
"Is this Jiuyuan City?"
In the void, Yang Qi's gaze fell on the nine huge cities, and his brows raised slightly. The layout of Jiuyuan City in front of him gave him a familiar feeling.
"Nine Realms!"
A gleam of light flashed in Yang Qi's eyes, and two words flashed through his mind.
The so-called Nine Realms are the nine realms of the Nine Realms and Twelve Palaces. The Jiuyuan City in front of us is very similar to the layout of the inheritance place that we visited through the Source Saint Order. Nine huge cities surround it, firmly protecting the Tianyuan City in the center.
Looking at the Jiuyuan City in front of him, Yang Qi couldn't help but sigh, "Interesting, they actually borrowed the layout of the Nine Realms. The nine major cultivation forces are quite generous."
The layout of the Nine Realms is not so easy to learn from. Yang Qi has traveled to hundreds of star regions and witnessed many powerful cultivation forces, but this is the first time he has seen a nest with a layout similar to that of the Nine Realms.
The layout of the Nine Realms seemed easy, but if you wanted to use it as the base of a top cultivation force, it would not only cost a huge amount of resources, but also require the person who laid out the formation to have a deep understanding of the formation. Otherwise, the formation would only be in name only, and the actual effect would be worrying.
Perhaps only an alliance of nine major cultivation forces like the Dark Sea of Chaos, which controls a vast territory, has the ability to establish such a nest. After all, any one of the nine major cultivation forces, if placed in other star fields, would be a top cultivation force that can control a star field.
Whoosh~
Yang Qi moved and rushed to the seventh of the nine cities. Although the nine cities looked very similar, they had different focuses. For example, some cities focused on trading Taoist soldiers, while others focused on trading various rare treasures. The seventh city that Yang Qi chose was more suitable for a short stay or long-term residence because the heaven and earth energy in the city was more abundant. It was also the most suitable city for breaking through the realm.
“It’s really deserted.”
After entering the city, Yang Qi's eyebrows raised. Compared with other cities of the same size, the city in front of him was obviously much quieter. This was not surprising. The practitioners who chose this city were often used to heal injuries, retreat, etc., and usually stayed in caves or practice rooms. It was not a city that focused on transactions, so naturally there were not many practitioners in the city.
Yang Qi rented a cave in the city and immediately began to retreat in preparation for his breakthrough to become a four-star Martial Emperor.
"It's almost time to break through." After adjusting himself to the best condition, Yang Qi began to mobilize the energy in his body to break through the bottleneck of the four-star Martial Emperor.
Originally, Yang Qi had already reached the limit of three-star Martial Emperor, so it was natural for him to break through to four-star Martial Emperor, so the whole process was very smooth. However, after breaking through to four-star Martial Emperor, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth to stabilize his own realm was the most critical, which was also the reason why Yang Qi chose to come to the city to break through.
The higher the level of cultivation, the longer it takes to break through the realm. In fact, it mainly takes longer to stabilize one's realm after the breakthrough. During such a long period of stable realm, once disturbed, it may lead to failure of breakthrough, just like the blood source beast, unable to complete the final transformation, and even hurt the foundation.
The dark sea of stars is already very chaotic. A breakthrough to the Martial Emperor level would be noisy and time-consuming. Once disturbed, the risk would be too great. Therefore, unless there are strong people to protect you, it is best to choose a safe place to break through.
Buzz~
As Yang Qi broke through to the four-star martial emperor, the heaven and earth energy in the cave began to gather madly towards Yang Qi's location. The heaven and earth energy in the cave alone was naturally not enough for Yang Qi to break through. However, there was a formation in the cave to replenish the heaven and earth energy, which could always maintain a rich heaven and earth energy. Not to mention that Yang Qi only broke through to the four-star martial emperor, even if he broke through to the seven-star martial emperor, it would be enough, so there was no need to worry about the heaven and earth energy problem.
The rich Yuan Qi of heaven and earth was constantly absorbed and refined, transformed into pure Yuan Force and integrated into Yang Qi's Yuan Mansion. Yang Qi's own cultivation realm was also constantly stabilizing.
This went on for an unknown amount of time, the speed at which the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth gathered began to slow down. To be more precise, the speed at which Yang Qi absorbed the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth began to slow down. It was obvious that he had reached the end of the breakthrough.
After the vitality of heaven and earth in the cave returned to calm, Yang Qi, who was sitting cross-legged in the training room, slowly opened his half-closed eyes. A sharp gleam of light flashed in the depths of his eyes, and the air around him seemed to be frozen in an instant.
Feeling the strong energy in his body, Yang Qi couldn't help but smile, "Is this the four-star martial emperor?"
The improvement of cultivation level alone would not help much, but Yang Qi reached the limit of three-star Martial Emperor before breaking through to the four-star Martial Emperor. Therefore, even if he had just broken through to the early stage of four-star Martial Emperor, his Yuanli was much stronger than that of ordinary four-star Martial Emperor practitioners, and the improvement would naturally be greater.
Yang Qi's eyes narrowed, and he thought to himself, "With my current strength, I should be able to fight a cultivator at the peak of the four-star martial emperor level head-on, right?"
When the Blood Demon Emperor ambushed and killed them, although Yang Qi had fought with a cultivator at the peak of the four-star Martial Emperor, it was not a one-on-one confrontation. Although it was only a brief fight at the time, he knew that he was still no match for the four-star Martial Emperor.
Even though he later reached the limit of three-star Martial Emperor, Yang Qi understood that there was still some gap between himself and the peak four-star Martial Emperor practitioners. But now that he has broken through to the four-star Martial Emperor, Yang Qi is confident enough to fight with the peak four-star Martial Emperor.
A gleam of brilliance flashed in Yang Qi's eyes, and he muttered to himself, "Maybe I'm not a match for a peak four-star martial emperor yet, but I haven't completely broken through to the four-star martial emperor yet!"
Although his cultivation and realm have reached the level of a four-star Martial Emperor, Yang Qi has also practiced the method of cultivating battle patterns. After condensing the battle patterns of the early stage of a four-star Martial Emperor, his strength will be further enhanced.
Yang Qi immediately began to retreat again, this time to condense the battle pattern. The whole process of condensing the battle pattern was surprisingly smooth, and soon Yang Qi condensed the battle pattern of the early stage of the four-star Martial Emperor.
Yang Qi's mind moved, and battle patterns appeared on his body. Feeling the battle patterns on his body, his brows knitted slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "The battle patterns at the four-star Martial Emperor level do bring some improvement, but this improvement seems to be much smaller than expected."
