In an instant.
20 billion life source consumed.
Along with the consumption of life source, there were also 10,000 luck points.
Since he wanted to break through the limit, he had to do it perfectly.
Anyway, Qin Shujian wasn't that short of luck points now.
After killing a lot of evil spirits, his luck points had also broken through the 40,000 mark.
Right now, he was only using 10,000 to upgrade his cultivation method, which was still within the acceptable range.
Moreover.
Not to mention a quarter, even if he took out all of his luck points, Qin Shujian would still be willing.
The experience of the Spirit Martial Realm and the God Martial Realm told him.
If the starting limit of the later cultivation methods was not high enough, then the consumption of life source to upgrade was enough to make people despair.
The God Martial Realm could be upgraded so quickly.
It was because there were still many evil spirits in the Great Zhao.
But until now.
The evil spirits were almost all killed. Even if there were still demon disasters in some places, there wouldn't be too many.
Unless the evil spirits in the Spirit Realm and the Great Domain were brought out.
But —
The Spirit Realm and the Great Domain didn't have the so-called shackles.
Even if he broke through the Heaven Realm, Qin Shujian wasn't confident that he could kill the evil spirits with 100% certainty.
If any of them were to leak out, it would be a huge disaster.
Causing a demon disaster for no reason.
Qin Shujian didn't think that he was crazy to this extent.
At this moment.
As his life source and luck points were consumed.
Qin Shujian only felt the scene in front of him change, and in the next moment, he had already appeared in a void.
The void was boundless and boundless.
In the sky.
There was a river of stars hanging down, causing people to unconsciously sink into it.
"This is —"
Qin Shujian was stunned. In the past, when he broke through, such a situation had never happened.
Just as he was puzzled.
In the river of stars in the sky, endless starlight emerged. Looking carefully, it was a small star.
Then.
Endless starlight gathered together and formed the image of a person.
When he saw this person.
Qin Shujian's heart shook again.
Because the person formed by the starlight looked exactly like him.
Then.
The man stood in the middle of the galaxy. Endless Daoist Rhymes flowed around his body. His body turned transparent at this moment. Streams of Primordial Chaos Qi flowed around his body. It looked messy but also orderly.
Just as Qin Shujian's attention fell on the other party.
The Origin Returning Ancestral Scripture that he cultivated also involuntarily moved at this moment.
Regarding this.
Qin Shujian didn't care at all.
This was because his mind was completely immersed in the Daoist Rhymes of the starry figure, as well as the aura flowing within his body.
From the outside world.
Qin Shujian sat cross-legged. From time to time, the sound of thunder could be heard from his body.
There was a faint aura of might.
It spread out from his body.
The Bow of Heaven and Earth, which had been released to absorb spiritual energy, hid far away.
Although the power was very faint, it gave people a kind of unstoppable terror.
"F * ck, a God Martial Realm cultivator has such power? It must be fake!"
The Cosmos Bow was so shocked that even its body was shaking unsteadily.
How could it not know that a God Martial Realm cultivator was so strong?
It was no longer the spiritual artifact in the Coiling Stone Sect that relied on its inherited memories and hadn't seen much of the world.
Now, it had followed the Origin Sect cultivators and killed many God Martial Realm cultivators.
It had even fought with the Monster King.
In terms of knowledge.
The Bow of Heaven and Earth felt that even among the Connate spiritual artifacts, it could be considered as knowledgeable.
Although the aura that Qin Shujian emitted was very faint, it was enough to make people's hearts palpitate.
It was certain.
It was definitely not as simple as just breaking through a small realm.
"It can't be that he broke through to the Diviner Realm!"
For some reason, the Bow of Heaven and Earth had this thought.
But soon.
It banished this thought from its mind.
How could it be possible to break through to the Diviner Realm?
How long had it been since the other party broke through to the God Martial Realm?
The Bow of Heaven and Earth thought for a while.
It seemed to be three or four months, but it also seemed to be four or five months. Anyway, it was less than half a year.
Half a year.
From the first level of the God Martial Realm to the tenth level of the God Martial Realm, then from the tenth level of the God Martial Realm to the Diviner Realm.
It knew that this was impossible just by thinking about it.
"Sect Master must have cultivated some kind of powerful cultivation method. Only when he broke through a small realm can he have such power."
"But it makes sense. Back then, the Sect Master was able to suppress an expert at the peak of the God Martial Realm with the strength of a beginner in the God Martial Realm. It's normal for him to have such power when breaking through."
The Bow of Heaven and Earth quickly figured out the crux of the matter and stopped worrying about it.
Anyway, a breakthrough was a breakthrough.
The stronger Qin Shujian was, the better its life would be.
Its life now was much better than when it was in the Coiling Stone Sect.
It had abundant spirit qi.
And it had a lot of face.
As for his former employer, he had long forgotten about the Cosmos Bow.
On the other side.
The news that Qin Shujian had returned to the sect was known by the entire Origin Sect.
But the news that he had entered seclusion was only known to a few elders.
"The Sect Master is in seclusion again. It seems that his cultivation has broken through again." Xu Yuanming sighed. He couldn't help but admire Qin Shujian's talent.
In the past, they were all in the Basic Martial Realm. Although there was a gap, it wasn't to the point of despair.
But he didn't know when it started.
The gap between the two sides grew bigger and bigger.
Until now.
If he hadn't been blessed by the sect several times, he might not have been able to break through to the Real Martial Realm at this time.
On the other hand.
He had already broken through to the God Martial Realm.
When the disparity had reached a certain extent, no one would have the thought of comparing themselves.
Niu Feng shook his head and said, "If I didn't know that the Sect Master was the same as us, I would have thought that the Sect Master was a mutant."
It was a well-known fact that mutants could improve their cultivation very quickly.
Xu Yuanming smiled disdainfully and said, "Even mutants don't improve as fast as the Sect Master. What's there to compare?"
"…"
Niu Feng wanted to refute, but he opened his mouth and didn't say anything.
Because Xu Yuanming was right.
It was true that Inhumans could improve their cultivation very quickly, but this speed was only relative.
Compared to Qin Shujian, the rate at which the Inhumans were improving could only be described as average.
However, although they were shocked by Qin Shujian's breakthrough speed.
Now that Qin Shujian had returned, they were relieved.
Earlier, a Celestial Being of the Demon Clan attacked.
Even if they were beaten back by Jiang Feng, they didn't dare to relax.
One Celestial Being of the Demon Clan could resist, but if there were two Celestial Being of the Demon Clan, the Origin Sect would be in danger of being destroyed.
Not to mention.
Above the Celestial Being of the Demon Clan, there were Demon Kings, and above them were Demon Saints.
Now the Origin Sect was at the border of the Endless Mountains. If the Demon Clan attacked in large numbers, a Celestial Being wouldn't be able to resist.
At this critical moment of life and death, Zheng Fang and the other elders didn't say anything on the surface, but they were under a lot of pressure.
Now Qin Shujian had returned.
Even if he didn't do anything, it was equivalent to giving them a reassuring pill.
Although the other party was only in the God Martial Realm.
In the eyes of Zheng Fang and the others, the effect was much stronger than Jiang Feng, the Sky Corpse.
With the return of Qin Shujian.
The other disciples of the Origin Sect had also calmed down a lot.
After all, although the things that happened some time ago had been settled, the sect was still under martial law.
There were rumors that the Demon Clan army was going to attack from time to time.
In the face of such things.
Many disciples felt a lot of pressure in their hearts.
It gave them the illusion that a storm was about to come.
Fortunately.
Now that Qin Shujian had returned, they seemed to have found their backbone.
In the next few days.
The Origin Sect was much calmer.
There were also some sects that heard the news of Qin Shujian's return and sent people to visit. Unfortunately, they were all rejected by Niu Feng and the other elders.
The reason was very good.
The Sect Master was in seclusion and everyone refused to see him.
Hence.
These people from the various sects either left with regrets or stayed in Cold Mountain City for the time being.
It was worth mentioning.
Now that more and more cultivators were staying in Cold Mountain City, there were also some powerful blacksmiths.
With the eyesight of these blacksmiths, they could see that the city was extraordinary.
Hence.
The news that Cold Mountain City was actually a huge spiritual weapon also spread like wildfire.
Casting a city into a spiritual weapon, such a method could be described as shocking.
Even the sects and cities owned by other top sects could not reach such a level.
Instantly.
After the news that Cold Mountain City was a huge spiritual weapon spread, it attracted many blacksmiths to come.
After all, this was the work of a Grandmaster.
If they could comprehend something from it, it would be enough for them to benefit immensely.
As for whether there would be trouble as more and more cultivators came.
At the beginning, there would be.
But now, there was no one who dared to cause trouble in Cold Mountain City.
Because all the troublemakers had been killed by the Origin Sect.
Among them were some disciples of top sects or descendants of powerful families.
Facing these people.
The Origin Sect did not hold back at all.
Such an iron-blooded method naturally intimidated everyone.
The other party did not even give face to the top sects. Who would think that their face was greater than those top sects?
Hence.
After a few bloody baptisms, these people had learned their lesson.
On the other hand.
The Sky Origin Sect's control over Cold Mountain City was very lax, except for the area of maintaining order. This gave these people a lot of freedom.
Anyway, to the Origin Sect.
As long as they paid taxes regularly and did not cause trouble, other things were not a problem.
After a few times.
Things were much simpler after that.
On the fifth day of Qin Shujian's seclusion, a familiar person came to Cold Mountain City again and said that he wanted to visit Qin Shujian.
In the Inherited Martial Hall.
Zheng Fang, as the Great Elder, temporarily took over the duties of the Sect Master and sat on the left side of the main seat. Opposite him was Wu Lang.
Wu Lang.
Zheng Fang was no stranger to him.
This was the fourth time this imperial envoy had come to the Cold Mountain Spirit Domain.
The first two times were because of the demons.
The third time was because of the war in the imperial court.
And now, this was the fourth time.
However, compared to the previous few times, Wu Lang's expression was not very good this time.
Zheng Fang said, "May I know why the esteemed envoy has come this time?"
"May I ask if Sect Master Qin has returned? I am here on His Majesty's orders. I hope to invite Sect Master Qin to the Central Province to fight against the rebels!"
Wu Lang squeezed out an ugly smile, cupped his hands, and got straight to the point.
The current him.
He no longer had the appearance of an imperial envoy.
If one did not know his identity, they would think that he was a cultivator from a fallen sect.
How difficult this period of time had been.
Only Wu Lang himself knew.
In the past few months, the situation had changed a lot.
From the demons breaking the seal to the death of the West Pacifying General Luo Jing, the situation in the Great Zhao had rapidly deteriorated.
Later on, the feudal lords came to rescue the emperor and saw a chance to turn the situation around.
In the end, Marquis Xichong and Marquis Pingchuan stabbed the imperial court in the back, causing their original advantage to disappear in an instant.
That was not all.
It was one thing to lose their advantage, but the situation had worsened.
Until now.
The imperial court's power had been completely suppressed and the Central Province Prefecture had become a place of war.
Xi Yang was often angry and was clearly under great pressure.
As an official of the Great Zhao, he was so worried that his hair was about to turn white.
If the Great Zhao was destroyed, he, Wu Lang, would not have an easy time.
As for defecting to the rebels.
It was not that Wu Lang had not thought of this before, but as soon as it appeared, he forcefully extinguished it.
It was not that he was truly loyal to the imperial court.
It was because.
Even if he defected to the rebels, they might not want him.
For Wu Lang, the imperial court absolutely could not be destroyed. Otherwise, he would also be upset.
As a result.
When he heard that Qin Shujian had returned, he immediately came to Yuan Zong, hoping to invite him to come out of seclusion.
After all, Qin Shujian was not weak, especially with his identity as a formation grandmaster. He could be of some use in this kind of war.
Even if he could not turn the situation around.
As long as he could give the Great Zhao an advantage, that would be enough.
The current Wu Lang did not dare to have too many extravagant hopes.
He only hoped that he could complete Xi Yang's orders and invite Qin Shujian over.
It was not just Yuan Zong.
The imperial court had also issued the same edict to the other top sects.
Unfortunately, there were very few sects that responded.
If the imperial court hadn't completely collapsed, everything would have been fine. But now, no sect was willing to get involved.
The imperial court was about to be destroyed.
In this kind of situation.
Whoever got involved might be on the wrong side.
Once the imperial court was destroyed, all the investments would be lost.
So up until now.
There were not many helpers that the imperial court could draw to their side.
One more Diviner, one less Diviner.
For now, they had a role that could not be ignored.
Looking at Wu Lang's expression, Zheng Fang shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that you have come at the wrong time. Although the sect master has returned, he has already entered seclusion. We cannot contact him now."
Hearing this, the light in Wu Lang's eyes dimmed a little.
But he was still unwilling to give up and asked, "May I ask when Sect Master Qin will come out of seclusion?"
"I can't give you an answer about this. Sect Master did not give a time limit before entering seclusion. No one knows if it will be long or short."
"Then I will wait in Cold Mountain City. If Sect Master Qin comes out of seclusion, I hope that Elder Zheng can inform me immediately."
Wu Lang did not want to force him and only said one more sentence.
"This time, I have come with great sincerity. As long as your sect is willing to help, the imperial court will definitely reward you well."
After dealing with Yuan Zong a few times, he knew Yuan Zong's pulse.
Yuan Zong was a sect that prioritized benefits.
As long as they were willing to give benefits, everything was negotiable.
This was also the reason why Wu Lang had been staying in Cold Mountain City.
Because he was confident.
This time, the imperial court would definitely reward Yuan Zong well.
Seeing this.
Zheng Fang could not refuse and nodded, "If Sect Master comes out of seclusion, I will immediately send someone to inform you."
"Thank you!"
Wu Lang relaxed a little and then got up to leave.
His purpose of coming here was to see Qin Shujian. But now that Qin Shujian was in seclusion, there was no need for him to stay.
Then.
Zheng Fang sent someone to send Wu Lang out of the sect.
On the sixth day.
Qin Shujian was still sitting there cross-legged without moving. However, the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi flowed slowly and seemed to have become stagnant.
Dong!
A thundering sound came from Qin Shujian's body.
At the same time.
Everyone in Yuan Zong suddenly felt as if their hearts had stopped beating for a moment. However, they quickly recovered.
In the Array Hall.
Xiang Haogan was studying the things that Qin Shujian had left behind.
It could be said that.
This was the foundation of the Array Hall and everyone's hope of becoming an Array Master.
After joining Yuan Zong for one or two years.
He could already feel that the bottleneck of his Array Dao that had not moved for a long time was showing signs of loosening.
Such a discovery.
This made Xiang Haogan extremely happy.
Compared to the Dao of Cultivation, he preferred the Dao of Formations.
After being stuck as an upper-tier Array Master for so many years, now that he saw the hope of breaking through, it was naturally difficult for him to calm down.
Moreover.
Once he broke through to the Array Master level, he would have the battle strength equivalent to the Divine Martial Realm.
For Xiang Haogan.
Once both his realm and Array Dao reached the Divine Martial Realm, his strength would rise to another level.
Dong!
A sound that sounded like thunder and drums could be heard.
Xiang Haogan's expression changed greatly.
The sound just now made his heart beat half a beat slower and he could not concentrate at all.
"What happened!"
Xiang Haogan was bewildered.
At this moment.
Dong!
Another voice rang out, causing his mind to be unable to calm down at all, let alone comprehend the formation.
Forced by this.
Xiang Haogan had to walk out of the Array Hall and go directly outside.
At this moment.
The other disciples of Yuan Zong who were in seclusion also came out of their state of cultivation.
"What happened!"
"I was about to break through to the eighth level of the True Martial Realm, but it was suddenly interrupted!"
"Isn't the Cultivation Room 100% safe for cultivation? What's going on now? Return the contribution points. We must return the contribution points!"
Within the sect, many people were complaining about this.
Some people who cultivated normally were fine.
But some disciples who spent contribution points to enter the Cultivation Room to cultivate were a little uncomfortable at this moment.
The contribution points were spent.
As a result, they were forced out of the Cultivation Room after cultivating for a short time.
To this.
The Outer Sect Elder who was in charge of the cultivation room also had a dark expression on his face. "What's the rush? Do you think the sect would cheat you of such a small amount of contribution points? All of you better behave yourselves. If anyone dares to speak nonsense, be careful of the sect's rules!"
As soon as he finished speaking.
Many disciples who complained shut their mouths.
It was okay to talk fast, but if they were really punished by the Sect's rules, they would be wronged.
After the outer elder glanced at these people, a look of bewilderment flashed across his eyes.
What happened!
To be honest, he himself did not know.
The Cultivation Room was protected by the Array Dao, and some ordinary movements could not affect the inside at all.
But this sound seemed to be able to penetrate all the barriers and hit the deepest part of people's hearts.
No matter how they tried to stop it.
It did not work at all.
For a moment.
People in the Sect were restless.
On the other side.
Zheng Fang, Xu Yuanming, and the others were also shocked and confused.
The others were dumbfounded. They also did not understand.
"Great Elder, do you know what's going on?" Zhang Tieniu looked at Zheng Fang. The others did the same.
When it came to seniority.
At this time, they had to ask the Great Elder.
Hearing this.
Zheng Fang smiled bitterly and shook his head. "I don't know anything either. I can't find the source of this sound."
"Could it be caused by the Sect Master's closed-door cultivation?"
"It's not impossible."
After Niu Feng's reminder, the others also reacted.
Now, in the Yuan Sect, the only person who could cause such a movement was Qin Shujian.
Every time the Sect Master cultivated, he would cause some movement.
But just like now.
This was the first time they had encountered it.
At this moment.
A stream of light shot down from the peak of Mount Liang. Soon, the stream of light dissipated and the Cosmos Bow appeared in their line of sight.
"It's too hard. It's really too hard!"
As soon as the Cosmos Bow appeared, it seemed to be relieved.
Seeing this.
They looked at each other. In the end, Niu Feng asked, "Qian … Elder Qian, do you know what happened?"
As a Doctrine Artifact, the Cosmos Bow was more like an elder.
Niu Feng did not want to be too rude in front of this Doctrine Artifact.
"What else can happen? He's definitely not breaking through a small realm of the God Martial Arts. How can a God Martial Arts Realm cultivator have such power? Damn it, I suspect he's breaking through to the Celestial Being Realm!"
As soon as Niu Feng finished speaking, the Cosmos Bow cursed.
During this time, it stayed in the forbidden area.
At first, it was okay. Although Qin Shujian's breakthrough was powerful, it could withstand it as long as it stayed far away.
But slowly.
This power was getting stronger and stronger. Even it couldn't withstand the sound of the thunder and lightning.
Under the pressure.
The Cosmos Bow had to escape. Only then was it free.
Until now.
It no longer believed that Qin Shujian just made a small breakthrough to the God Martial Arts Realm.
No matter how powerful a breakthrough to the God Martial Arts Realm was, it could not be so powerful.
It thought for a long time.
Only a breakthrough to the Celestial Being Realm could bring about such power.
As for the others.
After hearing the Cosmos Bow's words, they all stood rooted to the ground with astonishment on their faces.
A breakthrough to the Celestial Being Realm!
Wasn't this a little too fast?
No.
This was no longer something that could be described as fast.
For a moment, Zheng Fang and the others were all shocked. They could not calm down for a long time.
Niu Feng asked in disbelief, "Elder Qian, is Sect Master really going to break through to the Celestial Being Realm? But he just broke through to the God Martial Arts Realm!"
"Haha, you ask me? Who should I ask?"
The Cosmos Bow replied with a "haha". It did not want to answer this question anymore.
