The higher the grade of the Law of Heaven and Earth, the more Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth it condensed into a True Spirit.
If Long Yu condensed the Law of Yin into a True Spirit, he would need at least thirty percent more Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth than before to increase his Martial Arts Realm.
However, thirty percent more Spiritual Qi did not affect Long Yu much.
The key was that Long Yu needed to condense the True Spirit of the Dragon of Nine Underworlds, which required three to four times more Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth than other Martial Cultivators to be able to advance.
This was also the reason why Long Yu had not been able to step into the seventh level of the True Spirit Realm in the past half a year.
Logically speaking, the various elixirs he had consumed, after being completely absorbed by the Dragon Seal of the Nine Underworlds, should be enough for an ordinary Martial Cultivator to advance from the Rank Six True Spirit to the Rank Eight True Spirit.
However, due to the existence of the True Spirit of the Dragon of Nine Underworlds, the advancement of Long Yu's Martial Arts Realm had become extremely slow.
The Dragon Seal of the Nine Underworlds had brought Long Yu a lot of convenience, but on this point, Long Yu was a little puzzled.
Although he was puzzled, Long Yu could only condense the True Spirit of the Dragon of Nine Underworlds to be able to step into a higher Martial Arts Realm. This was something that he could not change for the time being.
"However, I'm not far from the True Spirit as One Realm. I only need an opportunity …"
Long Yu thought to himself.
The opportunity to increase the Martial Arts Realm did not come easily. Just like Pine Crane, who had been stuck in the Rank Nine True Spirit for his entire life, unable to step into the Heavenly Being Secret Realm, he knew how rare it was to have an opportunity to increase the Realm.
If Long Yu wanted to step into the True Spirit as One Realm, he would not be able to do it just by cultivating in seclusion.
Anyway, the Heavenly Mandate Sacred Selection was coming, and it was time for Long Yu to return to the Tang Empire, participate in the martial arts competition, and obtain the qualification for the Sacred Selection.
"Boy Long Yu, now that you are only one step away from the True Spirit as One Realm, why don't you go out and train, pick a worthy opponent, and fight? Maybe you can gain some enlightenment."
Pine Crane also felt that it was time for Long Yu to leave and smiled at him.
He had already taught Long Yu more than half of the alchemy skills that could be taught. The favor he owed Long Yu could be considered to have been repaid. As for Long Yu's talent, Pine Dusk Crane was also quite appreciative.
If it were not for the fact that the Selection of the Heavenly Mandate Saint was imminent, he really wanted to teach Long Yu everything he had learned in his life. Unfortunately, for Long Yu, the Selection of the Heavenly Mandate Saint was obviously more important than this.
"Are we going to find a worthy opponent?"
Long Yu narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment. He then thought of the governor of the North Sea Border City whom he had met when he had just arrived at the North Sea Kingdom.
The North Sea Border City did not have any Heavenly Being Realm experts, and the City Lord of the North Sea Border City was an expert at the ninth level of the True Spirit Secret Realm. Such an opponent was a good practice target!
If one wanted to break through the shackles of the realm in battle, it had to be a battle of life and death, and there could not be any leeway.
Otherwise, Pine Dusk Crane could have fought with Long Yu himself and let Long Yu try to break through. Unfortunately, without enough pressure of life and death, even if they were to exchange pointers, it would not be of much use.
Using the City Lord of the North Sea Border City as a practice target, firstly, this person was strong enough. Secondly, he was not beyond the scope of what Long Yu could handle. Thirdly, this person and Long Yu had an irreconcilable grudge. Once Long Yu appeared, the City Lord would definitely not let Long Yu go!
If they were to fight, Long Yu would definitely be under great pressure. Under such pressure, the possibility of him breaking through the Martial Arts Realm would be greatly increased.
"Liu Yuan, let's go."
Long Yu nodded to Liu Yuan, then took Liu Yuan's delicate body and said goodbye to Pine Dusk Crane and Xi Yangwu.
They had been together for nearly two years and had developed a lot of feelings, especially for the little girl Xi Yangwu. She had grown a lot in this year and understood many things that she did not understand before.
As for Long Yu, he had developed a special feeling for him.
"Brother Long, will you come back?"
Seeing that Long Yu had left with Liu Yuan, Xi Yangwu quickly raised her head and asked.
"I think so."
Long Yu nodded slightly.
In fact, he was not sure about this. After participating in the Heavenly Mandate Sacred Selection, would he come back here?
If he had the chance, he would definitely come back to take a look.
However, he didn't know if the situation would give him the opportunity to do so.
In any case, Long Yu and Liu Yuan finally left the Passionless Mountain where they had lived for more than a year and used up all the Lunar Heaven Tablets together.
During this time, the two of them had developed a very deep relationship.
At least, Liu Yuan was willing to accompany Long Yu here for more than a year. This in itself proved that Liu Yuan had developed some feelings for Long Yu, but she did not show it too obviously.
"I will send you out of the North Sea Kingdom first. Remember to go back and say hello to my adoptive father and the others."
Long Yu said to Liu Yuan as he flew in the direction of the Great Tang Empire with Liu Yuan.
"What about you? Are you really going to the North Sea Border City? "
Liu Yuan frowned slightly.
With Long Yu's current Martial Arts Realm, it was too difficult to challenge the City Lord of the North Sea Border City. Most importantly, the City Lord of the North Sea Border City was not alone!
The City Lord was a City Lord after all. He had many subordinates. Could Long Yu go alone?
"That Xing Feiqun will always be a disaster if I keep him. Anyway, now I need an opportunity to step into the Unity of the Real Spirit Realm. Apart from him, there is really no other candidate."
Long Yu smiled. He didn't think that this matter was difficult.
It was not difficult to ask Xing Feiqun to come out and fight him alone. Long Yu had many ways to prevent Xing Feiqun from calling for help, and he was prepared to use the simplest method.
"Then I will wait for you in the Tang Imperial City. Be careful."
Liu Yuan could not do anything about Long Yu's thoughts. She could only let him be.
…
After Long Yu sent Liu Yuan away from the North Sea Kingdom, he returned to the North Sea Kingdom and looked at the North Sea Border City in the distance.
He still remembered that it was in this city that he had rescued Liu Yuan, who had been kidnapped, and Elder Xi's granddaughter, Xi Yangwu. That was how he had experienced the past two years.
He did not expect that the Dragon of Jiuyou's Real Spirit would need so much Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth to improve. Until today, Long Yu was still in the Sixth True Spirit Realm.
The minimum requirement for the Heavenly Mandate Sacred Selection was to reach the Seventh True Spirit Realm. Therefore, before Long Yu returned to the Tang Empire, he had to step into the True Spirit As One Realm.
Xing Feiqun, the City Lord of the North Sea Border City, was seen by Long Yu as the best candidate as a stepping stone.
The North Sea Border City was as prosperous as ever. It was not as good as Soldier's City, but it was much more prosperous than all the cities in the Tang Empire, including the Tang Imperial City.
After returning to this place, Long Yu remembered the Border City Martial Arts Gathering that the Ten Thousand Arrow Sect had held here.
More than a year ago, who knew how many martial arts cultivators from the North Sea Border City had been recruited by the Ten Thousand Arrow Sect?
Time flew by, and Long Yu was quite emotional.
The Dragon Sparrow wings on his back stretched out, and he flew straight into the sky, ready to go to the City Lord's Office of the North Sea Border City. However, he suddenly found that the style and layout of the entire North Sea Border City was completely different from more than a year ago.
It looked like a different person was ruling the city, which was why the city was so different from before!
"The City Lord has changed?"
Long Yu was slightly taken aback. He did not expect this to be the case.
Xing Feiqun had offended Pine Crane, so all the experts in the ninth level of the True Spirit Secret Realm had died.
Could it be that because there were no experts to oversee the city, the position of City Lord was taken away? Or was it because of the pain of losing his son that Xing Feiqun no longer had the mood to take over the position?
No matter what the reason was, Long Yu's plan to use Xing Feiqun as a stepping stone seemed to have failed.
"The City Lord has changed, and the situation in the Border City seems to have changed a lot …"
Long Yu was high up in the sky. Looking down, he could see that the streets of the Northern Sea Border City were much more chaotic than when he had first arrived.
Suddenly, Long Yu saw a familiar face.
It was a middle-aged man in a black robe, and he was accompanied by a sixteen or seventeen-year-old youth. They were surrounded by a large group of City Guards, and it seemed that they had done something wrong.
The middle-aged man was Wen Lun, the one who had bought Long Yu's Star Sea Sword!
Because of the Star Sea Sword, Wen Lun had helped Long Yu a few times in the Border City trading house, and helped Long Yu sell other things at the correct price.
Long Yu had a good impression of Wen Lun. This middle-aged man was gentle and approachable. Even though he was from one of the three major families in the city, he did not feel superior.
Long Yu could not figure out how such a person had offended this group of City Guards.
Long Yu thought for a moment, then quickly descended from the sky. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, he hid in a small alley near where Wen Lun was and observed everything.
"Brat, why haven't you handed over the sword in your hand? Don't tell me you dare to disobey the City Guards! "
"We suspect that this sword has something to do with a murder case not long ago. Hand it over quickly!"
"Wen Lun, although you are a member of the Wen Family in the city, the Wen Family is on the decline. It is impossible for you to enjoy the same privileges as before. We must act impartially!"
These City Guards surrounded Wen Lun and the youth in the middle of the street as they spoke proudly.
The youth was holding the Star Sea Sword that Long Yu had sold. His face was red with anger, and the veins in his hands were bulging as he gripped the Star Sea Sword tightly.
This person must be Wen Lun's son.
When Wen Lun heard these people's words, even though he had a good temper, he could not help but snort coldly. "Aren't you just interested in my son's Star Sea Sword? How dare you use such a high-sounding reason like a murder case! My son has been in seclusion in the Wen Family mansion these past few days. Tell me, why did he use this sword to kill someone? "
"Words are no proof. If you want your son to escape suspicion, then show us the evidence! If you can't take it out, we can only seize this weapon first, and then put you in prison! "
The leader of the City Guards looked at Wen Lun and the youth mockingly as if the two of them were already turtles in a jar and could not escape no matter what.
When Long Yu saw this, he roughly understood everything.
The Wen Family was becoming weaker and had lost their status in the North Sea Border City. This was why these City Guards were looking for an excuse to bully them.
Long Yu had passed by the North Sea Border City with the intention of stirring up trouble. Now that he saw this situation, he suddenly had an idea and walked out of the alley!
"Senior Wen, what's the matter with these City Guards?"
He walked step by step onto the street, causing Wen Lun and his son, the City Guards, and the crowd of onlookers to be surprised.
