[Direct breakthrough!]
[Cultivation has reached the Primordial Yang Realm Ninth Layer!]
Su Chen was stunned. Not only did his cultivation level break through, but his Heart Nurturing Technique also improved, and Su Chen could even feel that his current accumulation of spiritual energy had reached a terrifying level.
In fact, Su Chen only needed a chance to directly enter the Great Perfection stage of the Primordial Yang Realm, or even break through to the Soul Formation Realm.
Su Chen retracted his spiritual energy, and the martial disciples looked bewildered.
They could sense the changes in Su Chen's spiritual energy just now.
This kid unexpectedly broke through for no reason?
Indeed, what Li Zimo said was true. This kid's talent cannot be described by humans.
Su Chen smiled.
"Now that the crisis is resolved, we can go to the Martial Ancestor when the snowstorm stops."
The disciples stared at Su Chen with wide eyes. In Su Chen's eyes, killing the gluttonous beast seemed like an easy task.
Could anyone be this terrifying?
The leading martial disciple spoke, "Alright, let's rest here for a few days. After the snowstorm stops, we can head to the Martial Ancestor."
Three days later, Su Chen and the others arrived at the entrance of the Martial Ancestor.
On the huge plaque, the word "Martial" was engraved.
Su Chen was mentally prepared. He must obtain the qualification to enter Kunlun Mountain during this trip to the Martial Ancestor.
Suddenly, a man walked out from the mountain gate.
The man glanced at the many disciples who had come.
He said to the leading martial disciple, "How many martial disciples did we recruit this time?"
The leading martial disciple replied, "We only recruited 7 people."
"Not bad. Those who can enter our Martial Ancestor must be exceptionally talented. We'd rather have fewer but outstanding disciples," the man said in a deep voice as he descended from the sky.
Everyone finally got a clear look at the man's appearance.
He had a strong build, but it didn't make him look intimidating. Instead, he had a touch of beauty.
What was even more astonishing was that the man's skin was covered with a layer of golden light, making him look like a golden arhat.
This was the manifestation of reaching the pinnacle of Body Refining. The man in front of them had at least reached the Earth Rank in martial cultivation.
This man was the Martial Ancestor's Elder.
The leading disciple approached the Elder and whispered a few words to him.
Then, the Elder's expression became strange as he looked at Su Chen.
"What is your name?" the Elder asked.
Su Chen replied, "Su Chen."
"Are you here to become our disciple this time?" the Elder asked.
Su Chen nodded and shook his head.
"Not exactly. The purpose of my visit this time was to undergo the trial of martial arts in order to enter Kunlun Mountain," Su Chen explained.
"I see," the Elder said.
"But entering the trial to enter Kunlun Mountain is not easy. You have to defeat one of our Elders," the Elder said with a nod.
Su Chen nodded.
"According to the rules."
The Elder smiled faintly.
"You can use sword techniques or similar methods, as long as you can defeat one of our elders," Su Chen shook his head.
"I don't need sword techniques, I only use martial arts," Su Chen replied.
The Grand Elder glanced at Su Chen's body and spoke.
"Your martial arts cultivation doesn't seem to be very impressive. I think you shouldn't attempt it. After all, this trial only happens once a year. If you fail, according to the rules, you won't be able to participate in the trial again."
Su Chen nodded.
"However, I have a condition."
"Oh? What condition?"
"Give me three days."
"Let me stay above the Martial Ancestor level for three days, and then I will use martial arts in the trial."
"Are you saying that in these three days, you can break through to the Earth Rank level in martial arts?"
"The elders here are all at the Earth Rank level in martial arts."
Su Chen smiled.
"Of course!"
The surrounding disciples were speechless. This was too arrogant.
Martial arts cultivation, from the Profound Rank to the Earth Rank, requires a significant change. Many people can't withstand the attacks of Heavenly Thunder even with someone protecting them. How could Su Chen do it in just three days?
The Grand Elder frowned.
"What is your current strength in martial arts?"
"Peak Profound Rank."
The Grand Elder smiled.
"Only at the Peak Profound Rank? Even if you break through now, it may not be enough in these three days."
Su Chen smiled.
"Grand Elder, just promise me."
"Alright, I will give you three days."
In a room of martial arts.
Su Xiaoyu asked worriedly, "Is three days enough?"
If it were sword techniques or Daoist methods, Su Xiaoyu wouldn't worry at all. But Su Chen had never practiced martial arts before. Wasn't three days a bit too rushed?
Su Chen smiled.
"Only three days are needed."
"During these three days, I will seclude myself in the room."
Su Xiaoyu nodded.
"Don't worry, no one will disturb you."
Su Chen nodded in satisfaction.
Then, he sat in the room and began to meditate.
At this moment, Su Chen's consciousness had entered his own spiritual realm.
In the spiritual realm, a golden dragon was dozing off.
Su Chen suddenly woke up the golden dragon.
The golden dragon said dissatisfiedly, "Why do you have time to come here? Aren't you going to practice martial arts?"
"I am here to practice."
The golden dragon was surprised.
"You come to the spiritual realm to practice?"
"Neither the old man nor I know martial arts."
"Martial arts are already very rare. Any martial artist who wants to break through needs to forcefully withstand Heavenly Thunder with their body. In martial arts, this is called Body Tempering."
"But many people can't withstand Heavenly Thunder. To this day, there is no martial artist in the Great Thousand Worlds who can achieve Ascension."
"It's okay, just do as I say later."
The golden dragon frowned. What was Su Chen doing with martial arts cultivation? Neither himself nor the Daoist Elder could help him with that!
