Chapter 137: Another Instant Breakthrough

"The method of immortal cultivation focuses on mastering the Dao."

"The path of magic focuses on analyzing Laws."

"The art of Blood-Qi Martial Arts focuses on forming a world within oneself."

"Although all roads lead to Rome, and the end of every transcendent system is eternal immortality, the specific methods and approaches differ."

Pingshui County.

The top floor of the government office.

The wooden windows were wide open, and a strong wind blew into the room, causing Xu Xi's robes to flutter loudly.

Xu Xi sat cross-legged, looking down at his right palm. He watched his five fingers clench and release, the roaring force making the air hiss.

Waves of Qi constantly shot out from between his clenched fingers.

"Compared to when I first reached the Innate Realm, my current strength has clearly increased several times over."

"If I include my Protective Aura, the gap in strength would likely be even more exaggerated."

Xu Xi lowered his head in thought.

This change was certainly related to his stronger Blood-Qi.

But more importantly, it was because Xu Xi was Observing Principles of the world, making the circulation of his Blood-Qi closer to the world itself, which resulted in such a massive increase.

"External forces are weak and bitter; flesh and blood ascend."

"Artifacts are worrisome; the Physical Body becomes holy."

"This path of martial arts is getting more and more interesting."

Xu Xi laughed heartily and officially began to break through to the next Realm, performing the act of replacing the Heavenly Dao's will with his own human will.

The Blood-Qi circulation was formed by imitating the external world.

It possessed "inertia."

That was the operation of the world, the order of alternation for all things in the world, and what Xu Xi had to do now was to completely replace it with his own will, becoming the Dominator of his own Blood-Qi.

Not just an operator, but a Dominator.

"Rise for me!"

The Blood-Qi rumbled and echoed.

Like a frantically surging tide.

Over and over, it washed over Xu Xi's internal organs, soaking every inch of his flesh and blood.

"Wanting to step into the Xiantian Realm, reversing from Acquired to Innate, is actually not difficult."

"Most of the effort involved lies in the accumulation of Blood-Qi."

"But the Three Realms of Xiantian are different."

"Every transformation in each Realm, every increase in strength, is not only linked to the Martial Artist's Blood-Qi, but also intertwined with every aspect of the Martial Artist."

"That can no longer be explained by simple Comprehension Ability or natural talent."

"But by a deeper level of will and spirit."

"With my experience in immortal cultivation and magic, plus the Persistence trait, it is not too difficult for me."

Xu Xi raised his hand.

The Blood-Qi within his body roared and became increasingly turbulent.

In a trance, there seemed to be a cracking sound, clicking one after another, followed by a series of explosions.

Now is the time!

At the moment the Blood-Qi circulation collapsed.

Xu Xi's Martial Arts Soul, which he had nurtured for a long time, forcefully took control of every strand of Blood-Qi, stopping its instinct to recover and forcing it to stagnate.

"Martial Arts Great Grandmaster, Breakthrough in an instant!"

Xu Xi closed his eyes slightly.

When he opened them again, the Blood-Qi inside his body, which he had restrained, suddenly began to circulate rapidly.

Rotating.

Intertwining.

Like a real world, it began an endless cycle, firmly controlled by Xu Xi's will.

His eyes were like lightning, and the empty room seemed to light up.

His muscles and bones rang out, and thunderous sounds rumbled.

Every gesture carried a surging, vast power.

"This Breakthrough is somewhat similar to the Archmage in the magic system."

"One is mastering elements."

"The other is mastering Blood-Qi."

"But the two follow two completely different paths."

"Becoming an Archmage allows one to initially master the power of world elements; becoming a Soul-Containing Great Grandmaster means mastering the Blood-Qi inner world."

"This feeling gives a sense of endlessness."

Xu Xi sat cross-legged for a long time.

Constantly familiarizing himself with the surging Blood-Qi power within his body.

And the changes in his strength after the Martial Soul entered the Blood-Qi world.

On the top floor of the government office, the wind became increasingly noisy.

That was not wind from the outside.

It was the reality fluctuation caused by Xu Xi spreading his palm, with invisible Protective Aura flickering in his palm.

"Whoosh~~~"

"Whoosh!!!"

The wind roared, and things in the room were blown about.

Until Xu Xi dispersed the Protective Aura in his hand.

The top floor of the government office returned to calm.

"It is not as widely applicable as immortal cultivation and magic, but in terms of pure physical strength, it has reached an unimaginable level," Xu Xi gave his final evaluation.

When in the Guan Li Realm, Xu Xi's Xiantian Astral Qi mixed with the Nine Thunder Blades to form a thunder-natured blade aura.

And now.

As Xu Xi broke through to the Soul-Containing Realm, he completely mastered the circulation of the Blood-Qi world.

The original Thunder Blade Aura returned to its simple, unadorned appearance.

It was not empty or void.

But the beginning of all phenomena.

Now, no matter where Xu Xi is, the Blood-Qi world within his body connects to his whole body, forming an eternally burning furnace that brings a steady stream of power.

The so-called fist techniques and sword techniques are just one kind of variation.

"I have read through classics before and have never seen that the Soul-Containing Realm has this ability."

"Logically speaking, the Blood-Qi world of the Soul-Containing Realm is different for everyone and is closely related to the Martial Artist themselves."

"So that's it…"

"It is the Persistence trait and the Martial Arts Evolution trait."

Xu Xi was thoughtful.

His Soul-Containing Realm strength was somewhat overpowered.

Normal Soul-Containing Martial Artists would be a bit weaker and would not have his miraculous furnace of all phenomena.

"However…"

"Even if I remove Persistence and Martial Arts Evolution, without the help of these two traits, the Blood-Qi world of a Soul-Containing Realm Martial Artist is already amazing enough."

"The self-circulation of the world almost raises Soul-Containing Martial Artists to an unprecedented height."

"This is unimaginable for Guan Li Realm Xiantian Martial Artists and Body Tempering Martial Artists."

Xu Xi stood up.

He flicked his arm lightly.

Another gust of wind was generated out of thin air, blowing away the mess he had created earlier.

Looking at the clean top floor, Xu Xi looked outside. The autumn atmosphere in Pingshui Town was thickening, and it began to be dyed with orange and yellow colors.

But that was not what Xu Xi was looking at.

But further away.

Far away in the Imperial Capital of Great Qian, far away in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, far away in the huge shadow hidden in the thousands of mountains and rivers.

"The first Realm of Xiantian has the ability to walk on air."

"The second Realm of Xiantian has endless Blood-Qi, the world is formed, and the Physical Body is constant."

"The Xiantian Third Realm, although I have not touched it yet, I can imagine some of its style."

"The Human Race's Blood-Qi Martial Arts are not weak. If it continues to develop according to this trend, even the demons that cover the sky and sun in the Hundred Thousand Mountains can be fought."

"But why…"

"Since the establishment of Great Qian, it has been sending [Sinners] to the border."

"And why do the demons of the Hundred Thousand Mountains only form Demon Tides to prey in the spring and winter, and never go deep into the interior of Great Qian?"

"Is it just a simple tacit understanding or agreement?"

"Or is there a bigger secret hidden?"

Xu Xi stepped downstairs.

He faintly sensed that, just like the gods sealing the heaven and earth in the Magic World, there were equally unknown secrets hidden in this Martial Arts World.

This world has a problem.
