Chapter 101: Dragon Sniffs the Immortal Begonia, Immortal Couple
After the wedding night, Yu Yuanchen and Ye Zhilan were officially married, opening a new chapter in their lives. Newlyweds, they were naturally deeply in love and inseparable. In and around Dragon City, the grand occasion of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect Young Sect Master's wedding, and the beautiful story of this perfect match, were still being talked about by everyone.
However, neither Yu Yuanchen nor Ye Zhilan were people who indulged in comfort. After lingering for a month and enjoying the rare quiet and sweetness, the two adjusted their states with great tacit understanding and threw themselves back into their respective cultivation and careers. True long-term companionship is walking side by side, not binding each other.
Time flowed like water, quietly passing. In the blink of an eye, more than four years had passed.
During these four years, the situation on the continent was calm on the surface, but undercurrents were surging. All the major Sects and Empires were accumulating strength, waiting for the grand event that was destined to reshape the power landscape of the continent—the arrival of the Seven Clans Selection.
And the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, under the guidance of its Young Sect Master Yu Yuanchen, had entered a golden period of rapid development. The biggest change was not the simple increase in the number of Soul Masters, but the preliminary establishment and Perfection of a brand-new power System.
Inside the quiet room, Yu Yuanchen slowly opened his eyes. The divine light in his eyes was restrained, and the aura around his body was perfect and flawless, as if he had merged with the surrounding heaven and earth. He opened his palm, and above his palm, it was not the light of Soul Power, but a blood-colored air current that was condensed like substance, containing majestic vitality and power, slowly circling—this was exactly the brand-new System he had spent four years of hard work, combining his own cultivation experience, past Life Concepts, and the research on qi and blood in this world, to completely organize and perfect—Martial Dao!
"The way of qi and blood, named 'Martial', truly reveals its original intention of self-improvement and proving the Dao through strength." Yu Yuanchen whispered to himself, his eyes flashing with the light of wisdom. In these four years, not only had his own cultivation improved, but he had also systematically summarized, simplified, and deduced this cultivation System derived from the power of qi and blood, making it a complete cultivation method with universality and Legacy.
On the desk in front of him, dozens of carefully drawn illustrations and manuscripts were spread out. The most core among them was a detailed "General Map of Human Meridians" marked with dense Acupoints, and the accompanying "Detailed Explanation of the Nine Realms of Martial Dao".
The Nine Realms of Martial Dao, progressing step by step:
First Grade · Refining Skin and Flesh: Realm of Foundation Establishment. Through specific Body Tempering movements to forge the skin and muscles, and then assisted by stance training to guide the qi and blood to travel through the whole body, initially stimulating the activity of qi and blood. It requires eating a large amount of energy-rich meat (such as ten-year Soul Beast meat) or taking "qi and blood pills" specially developed by the Ye Family according to Yu Yuanchen's requirements to replenish consumption. After success, the physique is far superior to ordinary people, and one can initially call upon a small amount of "power of qi and blood" (Note: qi and blood is the Foundation, the power of qi and blood is its condensed and sublimated energy form).
Second Grade · Tempering Tendons and Bones (Initial Tempering): Use the power of qi and blood to operate the "Martial Dao Body Tempering Technique", and according to a specific order, temper the bones and fascia of the whole body except the head one by one to make them tough. It requires continuous supplementation of qi and blood pills, and is assisted by "Meridian Protection Pills" to protect the Meridians and bones from hidden injuries.
Third Grade · Tempering Tendons and Bones (Perfect Roundness): Treat the tendons and bones except the head as a whole, and perform a second deep tempering to make them a whole, greatly increasing their strength. Subsequently, with the help of the human body's qi and blood cycle, carefully include the head's tendons and bones into the tempering range to complete the basic forging of the whole body's tendons and bones. This stage relies more heavily on Medicinal Pills.
Fourth Grade · Washing the Five Internal Organs: Operate secret techniques to wash the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys with gentle and lasting power of qi and blood along specific meridian routes. Yu Yuanchen has simplified it, so practitioners do not need to comprehend the Concepts corresponding to the five internal organs themselves, just follow the steps. It requires taking higher-level qi and blood pills and specially made "Organ Protection Pills".
Fifth Grade · Refining the Six Bowels, Connecting the Great Circulation: Temper the six bowels, and completely connect the five internal organs and six bowels with the Meridians of the whole body, forming a "small internal circulation" except for the head, causing the efficiency of qi and blood circulation to soar, endless and continuous.
Sixth Grade · Tempering the Skull, Solidifying the Martial Soul Court: With the help of the established small circulation, draw upon the majestic qi and blood to perform a second, more thorough tempering of the skull bones, and initially stabilize the place of Spiritual Power (Sea of Consciousness), laying the Foundation for subsequent Spiritual cultivation.
Seventh Grade · Forging Bone Marrow, Blood like Mercury: Deep into the depths of the bones, temper the bone marrow, making the bone marrow as heavy and condensed as mercury, with majestic vitality, and the regeneration speed of qi and blood reaches an astonishing level, greatly increasing Lifespan.
Seventh Grade Perfection is the limit of the mortal body. If one can break through, one will step into the Transcendent Realm:
Golden Body Realm: Trigger a trace of the Law essence one has comprehended (no need to be too deep, just a glimpse of the door is enough), temper the whole body, making the flesh, tendons, bones, internal organs, and bone marrow all turn into pale gold, the Physical Body is flawless, solid and immortal, with great power in every gesture, and the Lifespan can reach more than three hundred years. This Realm is comparable to the physical strength of an ordinary attack system Titled Douluo after Martial Soul Avatar.
• Law Entering the Body (Innate Realm): Deeply comprehend and draw the Law of heaven and earth to completely merge into oneself, completing the ultimate transformation of the level of Life, equivalent to returning from Acquired to Innate, becoming an Innate creature naturally nurtured by the Law of heaven and earth, capable of triggering the power of Law in every gesture, which is mysterious and extraordinary. This Realm is already the beginning of the deification of the Physical Body! Yu Yuanchen himself successfully stepped into this Realm during these four years!
During these four years, Yu Yuanchen did not deliberately pursue the rapid improvement of Soul Power Rank, but focused his main energy on consolidating the Foundation, organizing the Martial Dao, and completing the transformation of "Law Entering the Body". However, as things naturally came to fruition, his Soul Power cultivation still grew steadily, having already reached Rank 98.
Spiritual Power, with his profound understanding of himself and the world, broke through smoothly and stepped into the mysterious "Spirit Domain Realm" (although the Spiritual Domain has not yet begun to be built), and the perception range and subtlety have undergone a qualitative change. Today, even without using Martial Soul True Body, he is confident that he can sweep away all existences below Rank 98 just by relying on this "Innate Body" that has been tempered by the Martial Dao and Law.
Ye Zhilan's progress was equally huge. Under the guidance of Yu Yuanchen and the tilt of the Sect's resources, her Soul Power successfully broke through to Rank 85, and her Sacred Heart Immortal Tang Martial Soul became more and more miraculous.
And the "Beast Taming Research Institute" to which she devoted a lot of effort, with the "assistance" of Gu Yue (Silver Dragon King Clone), also made Breakthrough progress—although it was still far away from developing a universal Soul Beast contract method, Ye Zhilan, relying on the extraordinary affinity of her Sacred Heart Immortal Tang Martial Soul for plant-type Soul Beasts, successfully established a perfect symbiotic contract with a "Demon Eye Demonic Tree" with a cultivation of 70,000 years!
This Demon Eye Demonic Tree, named "Demon Pupil", had high intelligence and strong aggression, but under the natural suppression and patient communication of Ye Zhilan's Martial Soul, it was willing to become her contract partner.
What was even more surprising to people (and beasts) was that through this deep contract, "Demon Pupil" could actually transmit part of its Origin power to Ye Zhilan, helping her condense a Soul Ring! Ye Zhilan's eighth Soul Ring came from this, with deep color and majestic energy.
Moreover, with this special Soul Ring, she actually awakened a powerful Domain Soul skills—Immortal Begonia Domain! Within the Domain, the healing effect is greatly enhanced, and it can greatly weaken the enemy's state, which can be called one of the highest Realms of support system Soul Masters. (Sacred Heart Immortal Begonia ultimately originates from Nine Heart Begonia, its core ability is still healing, no matter what kind of Soul Ring is absorbed, the Soul skills effect will tend towards support directions such as healing, purification, and amplification.)
The achievements of the research institute and the improvement of Ye Zhilan's strength made Yu Yuanchen more determined to promote the "Martial Dao" and explore the path of "Beast Taming". These are all potential ways to greatly enhance the overall strength of the Sect and even the Human Race.
Just in this day-to-day cultivation, research, and precipitation, a message that shook the continent was finally officially announced to the world by Spirit Hall:
The first Seven Clans Selection will be grandly held three months later in Spirit City, where Spirit Hall is located!
The news spread, and the world was in an uproar. All Sects and families who considered themselves capable were eager to move. The ranking of the Upper Three Sects and Lower Four Sects is not only related to supreme glory, but also means the right to speak and resource allocation for the next hundred years!
Within the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, everyone was also talking about it, and the crowd was agitated. With the Sect's current booming momentum, Young Sect Master Yu Yuanchen was even hailed as the number one person of the younger generation on the continent, and now even the words "younger generation" could be removed, and the call to win the title of "Number One Sect Under Heaven" was very high, almost a certainty.
Inside the quiet room, Yu Yuanchen stood with his hands behind his back in front of the window, looking at the clouds rolling and relaxing in the distance. Sect Master Yu Boxuan, Grand Elder Yu Qingtian, Ye Kuan, and others were all present, their faces solemn and expectant.
"Yuanchen, the Seven Clans Selection is imminent. In your opinion, how should our Sect respond?" Yu Boxuan asked in a deep voice. Although he already had a plan in mind, he still wanted to hear his grandson's opinion.
Yu Yuanchen turned around, his expression calm and waveless, as if he were talking about a trivial matter that had nothing to do with him: "Grandfather, elders, there is no need for too much preparation, and there is no need to deliberately show off. The strength of our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect is known to everyone. As for the title of 'Number One Sect Under Heaven', if they give it, we will accept it; if they don't..."
He paused slightly, the corners of his mouth hooked into a faint but extremely confident arc: "I will go and take it myself."
The tone was flat, but it contained unquestionable absolute power and dominance!
Four years of deep cultivation, Martial Dao initially formed, Law added to the body, Soul Power at the Peak of Rank 98, Spiritual Power stepped into the Spirit Domain Realm... Today's Yu Yuanchen has enough confidence to say this.
He even had a feeling that even if he faced the unfathomable High Priest Qian Chongxiao of Spirit Hall who held the Angelic Sacred Sword, he had full confidence that he could defeat him within ten moves! Of course, if the other party spared no cost to draw the Angel God divine force for blessing, that would be another situation, but Yu Yuanchen had his own countermeasures.
His state of mind had completely calmed down. Although the continent is large and heroes appear in large numbers, there are few who can fight with him, Yu Yuanchen. For him, this Seven Clans Selection is more like a ceremony with a predetermined result, an opportunity to announce the Peak status of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect to the entire continent.
"As for Spirit Hall..." Yu Yuanchen's eyes were deep, "They want to use this selection to establish order and gather general trends. As long as it does not touch the fundamental interests of our Sect, let them be for now. The current focus is still to perfect the Martial Dao, promote the Soul Core Method, and accumulate strength. I want to become a god, and an orderly continent is better for me."
Hearing this, everyone felt at ease. With Yu Yuanchen, the Sect has a stabilizer.
"Since that is the case, let us follow Yuanchen's words." Yu Boxuan made the final decision, "Our Sect will wait and see, and respond to all changes with constancy."
The meeting dispersed, and Yu Yuanchen was left alone in the quiet room. He walked slowly to the courtyard, looked up at the blue sky, his eyes seemed to penetrate layers of space, and saw the place of selection where the wind and clouds were about to gather.
"Seven Clans Selection... Fine, let this continent truly recognize what is called... the momentum of thunder."
He whispered to himself, his aura perfect and natural, as if he had merged with heaven and earth. The storm was coming, and he had been waiting quietly for a long time.
