(At present, the fifth, the sixth, and the seventh, these two wretched guys are staring at the chrysanthemum. Does anyone feel itchy? Rush up and distance yourself, or you will be blown up and bleed all over the place.)
There was a glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel.
Those who didn't feel it would never understand that feeling.
It turned out that the Realm of Enlightenment could help break through the Zenith. Chen Zong didn't know this before, and no one had ever told him about it.
At first, he was happy and excited, and then he calmed down.
"Let's start." Yuan Lingzi smiled, and his eyes were full of hope. In fact, Yuan Lingzi wasn't 100% sure that the Realm of Enlightenment could help break through the Zenith. At least, he had never done it himself. He had only read some records in ancient books. Even so, Yuan Lingzi was very confident.
Chen Zong nodded, sat down cross-legged, and adjusted his breath.
This time, the adjustment was particularly long. His essence, Qi, and spirit had all reached the peak.
When he opened his eyes, there seemed to be a sharp light piercing through the void. In it, there was an indomitable will and supreme hope.
"Let's start." His voice was low, like a whisper, but also like the roar of a giant beast, with the surging of Qi and blood and the surging of internal strength.
The Realm of Enlightenment!
The Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth was suddenly drawn and gathered from all directions. Then, under Chen Zong's precise control, it gathered in the center of the top of his head.
Even if the Realm of Enlightenment could help break through the Zenith, it couldn't be done casually. First of all, it required precise control of the Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth. Secondly, it couldn't be rushed. The Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth had to be absorbed into the Zenith bit by bit, and then the Zenith would be penetrated in one fell swoop.
There couldn't be the slightest mistake in this process. Otherwise, it would fail, and it would cause serious injuries to oneself, or even death.
Even if the hope was great, Chen Zong didn't dare to be the slightest bit careless.
Under precise control, the Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth fell little by little, and then came into contact with the Zenith, and then seeped into the Zenith bit by bit. The cool feeling was like soaking in cold water bit by bit. The refreshing feeling spread, and his thinking became clearer, and his control improved a little.
When the Zenith had a feeling of saturation, Chen Zong knew that the Spiritual Qi that the Zenith could accommodate had reached the limit. This process took half an hour.
The next step was to mobilize his inner strength.
Multitasking was difficult and impossible for most warriors, but there were always a few geniuses who could do it. Chen Zong was one of the best.
His inner strength entered his mind like a thread and reached the zenith.
The gentle contact, coupled with the help of the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth that had already permeated the sky, allowed his inner strength to seep in like a trickle under not strong resistance. This was something that could not be done in the past no matter how hard he tried.
Suppressing the ecstasy in his heart, Chen Zong precisely controlled the inner strength that was as thin as silk and slowly entered it.
Inner force and Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi were two completely different types of power, but in terms of level, Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was of a higher level.
Slowly, after the inner strength entered the zenith, it continued to move upwards. Even though there was some resistance along the way, the resistance was at least a hundred times weaker than before. It was like the silt in the river being washed away by the river water bit by bit.
There was no pain. Chen Zong looked very calm.
An hour later, Chen Zong's eyes were still closed.
Two hours later, Chen Zong's eyes were still closed.
Yuan Lingzi stood to the side, and even his breathing seemed to have stopped. He was afraid that he would disturb Chen Zong and cause him to fail. He was more eager than Chen Zong for Chen Zong to be able to break through the zenith and achieve the great perfection of the Qi Refining Realm.
The moment three hours passed, Chen Zong's eyes suddenly opened. There seemed to be an invisible roar. Terrifying energy surged out through his eyes. The space in front of him seemed to be shattered. Layers of invisible folds appeared, twisting and rippling like water.
A whistling sound sounded around Chen Zong. Countless air surged like a tide.
Yuan Lingzi could clearly feel that traces of Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi had entered Chen Zong's body from the zenith.
"It's through … It's finally through …" Yuan Lingzi was so excited that his hair trembled.
Yes, it was through.
With the help of the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi in the Enlightenment Realm, Chen Zong had truly broken through the zenith. However, he was not excited at all. Because the zenith had just been broken through, a trace of extremely pure Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth poured in from the zenith and then spread out in his mind. A cool aura filled the air, causing his mind to feel as if it was being washed, becoming clearer and more transparent.
No thoughts, no thoughts.
Pure Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth constantly poured in from the zenith. After passing through his mind, it gradually flowed down. Everywhere it passed, Chen Zong felt so comfortable that he did not know how to describe it.
The clear flow did not have the slightest destructive power. Instead, it had an incredible nourishing effect on the body. It was as if it was washing from the depths of the body, crushing and dispersing the parts that were unfavorable to the body.
The Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth soaked in the powerful and domineering Origin Destruction Force. Then it went deep into the bones and muscles, and then soaked in the pure Yang Qi and blood.
Finally, the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth passed through the Earth Abyss that had been broken through and gushed out from the center of his feet with a trace of grayish-red.
This process lasted for a while before the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth dissipated. Not a trace of it poured in from the zenith. Chen Zong subconsciously tried to mobilize the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, but he found that he could only occupy the zenith at most. It could not spread down his body like before.
"What a pity." A trace of regret rose unconsciously.
His whole body moved, and his bones made a series of crisp sounds as if they had been reborn. It was like the roar of a tiger or rolling thunder, causing the surrounding air to vibrate.
After jumping up, the vibration of his bones also stopped.
"This feeling …" Chen Zong took a deep breath, and his face was intoxicated.
Wonderful, it was really wonderful. It felt as if he had changed into a stronger body with more potential, and he had unparalleled control over his body.
To use a more apt analogy, an ordinary person seemed to have recovered from a forty-year-old body that was plagued with minor illnesses to a twenty-year-old body that was healthy and in good health.
Whether it was the impurities in the body, the impurities in the Inner Strength, or the impurities in the Qi and blood, they were all crushed and expelled. It was as if he had returned to his mother's body.
Chen Zong did not know that this was the Innate Physique that many martial artists pursued.
The Innate Physique was different from breaking the body's limits. They were two different existences, but they were both very important and very difficult.
Yuan Lingzi was excited and did not disturb Chen Zong. Instead, he let Chen Zong slowly experience it himself. Chen Zong also seemed to have forgotten Yuan Lingzi's existence. He wholeheartedly felt the changes in his body, not letting go of any details.
The more he felt, the more magical and excited Chen Zong felt. Fortunately, he did not give up. Fortunately, the road had turned. Otherwise, he would not have been able to reach the peak of the Qi Refining Realm.
He did not expect that the gap between breaking through the zenith and not breaking through was so big. It was simply two different levels.
The changes in his body could be summarized into four points.
The first point was that the Pure Yang Qi and blood had changed. The impurities in it had been removed. Looking inside, the originally bright red Pure Yang Qi and blood seemed to be filled with traces of gold, containing even more astonishing power.
The second point was that the Pure Yang Qi and blood were closely related to the body. The stronger the Pure Yang Qi and blood, the stronger the body. The stronger the body, the stronger the Pure Yang Qi and blood. The two relied on each other. Originally, Chen Zong's Physique had broken the limits of the human body. It had been improved by chance and had the strength of 5,000 kilograms. After the other aspects had increased proportionally, he had fallen into a bottleneck and was unable to improve at all. Now, Chen Zong could feel that his Physique could continue to strengthen. It was also strengthening little by little with the passage of time. He did not know how strong it would be in the end.
The third point was the change in the Inner Strength. The Chaotic Heaven Origin Breaking Energy was vigorous, domineering, and sharp. Now, it had become purer and had an additional characteristic of flexibility, making it even more powerful.
The fourth point was the change in the Mind. His Mind Power was stronger, probably about 30% stronger. This was already better than some True Martial Realm martial artists.
The four changes made Chen Zong seem to have been reborn.
"Before the breakthrough, without using the secret method or activating the power of the Pseudo Spiritual Weapon, my combat strength was only at the peak of the seven-star level. I wonder what level it has reached now?" Chen Zong suddenly thought, "Is it the limit of the seven-star level?"
"It should be more than that. After breaking through the Zenith, the changes are not small. Could it be the eight-star level?" Thinking of this, Chen Zong could not help but become more excited.
The seven-star level was already a very high level of combat strength. The eight-star level had never appeared in the entire Longtu Region.
In fact, Chen Zong did not know that his combat strength had indeed increased, but it had not really reached the eight-star level. It was only half a step away from the eight-star level. However, it was still much stronger than before.
Moreover, his Physique had broken through the bottleneck. It could continue to strengthen in the future. It was not the strongest combat strength yet.
It was conceivable that when his Physique was strengthened to the bottleneck, his combat strength would truly reach the early eight-star level.
There was also the Pseudo True Force that had not been condensed. If it was, his combat strength would be even stronger.
"Senior Yuan, this disciple has broken through the Zenith." After Chen Zong checked the changes in his body, he remembered something and hurriedly bowed to Yuan Lingzi to express his gratitude.
"Good, hahahaha." Yuan Lingzi laughed very happily. "How do you feel? If there are any changes, tell me all about them. "
Yuan Lingzi knew about the true perfection of the Qi Training Realm, but he was not very clear about it.
Chen Zong told him about the four changes in his body, but he hid the fact that his Physique had broken through the limit. Even so, the more Yuan Lingzi listened, the more surprised he became. In the end, his face was full of shock.
It was no wonder that hundreds of years ago, when the Zonghu Sword Sect was at its peak, the person who had broken through the Zenith and truly stepped into the perfection of the Qi Training Realm could become a super expert in the entire region in a short period of time. Unfortunately, if that person had not left this region and traveled to other regions without any news, the Zonghu Sword Sect would not have declined after such drastic changes.
However, now, the Zonghu Sword Sect might have a chance to rise again.
"Chen Zong, remember, regarding the matter of you breaking through the Zenith and truly stepping into the perfection of the Qi Training Realm, you must not let a third person know." Yuan Lingzi's face was solemn. "The Sect Master thinks you have failed, so I will not tell them until you grow up and have enough power to protect yourself."
"This disciple will remember," Chen Zong responded seriously.
It was not that Yuan Lingzi was too careful, but that the change of truly reaching the perfection of the Qi Training Realm was too shocking. If more people knew, it would definitely spread. If it attracted people who secretly coveted it, Chen Zong would either be taken away or destroyed. Either way, it was not a good thing for the Zonghu Sword Sect.
In fact, both Chen Zong and Yuan Lingzi were wrong about one thing. Chen Zong's perfection of the Qi Training Realm was not an ordinary perfection of the Qi Training Realm, but an even more powerful perfection of the Qi Training Realm.
Whether it was the Zonghu Sword Sect's perfection of the Qi Training Realm hundreds of years ago or the Dragon Diagram Imperial Family's perfection of the Qi Training Realm, they were all at the normal level. Chen Zong was different.
The perfection of the Qi Blood Realm, the Enlightenment Realm, and the perfection of the Qi Training Realm were the three factors that caused this kind of rebirth. None of them could be missing. Although the combat power only increased by a small level and not a huge leap, the more important change was the potential change. It had unimaginable benefits for future cultivation.
Even the Dragon Diagram Imperial Family, an upper-rank Sect, had at most two breakthroughs. They were not like Chen Zong, who broke through three.
