Chapter 680: Chapter 360 Returning to Spiritual Realm, Fang Hao Breaks Through_2

The small stone house in the Wu Country Royal Palace was noted by Li Xuan as a place where the secrets of the Taicang Domain could be understood.

Once his strength had further improved or he had thoroughly comprehended the Book of Taicang, he planned to return again.

The small stone house was silent, without any anomalies, and the mysterious voice did not appear, as if it was unaware that Li Xuan had ever visited.

Canglan Island.

Li Xuan returned from the Wu Country Royal Palace, allocating more time to delve into the Dao Principles of the Book of Taicang, aiming to fully memorize all the principles as soon as possible.

Of course, he also found time to ponder over the Divine Skill Martial Code and the Fifth Door of Martial Arts.

The martial arts above the Void-breaking Realm, the subsequent techniques after the Great Sun Stellar Indestructible Body, were also being constantly refined.

“Xu Yan reached the Divine Skill Realm and has grasped the Void-breaking Martial Arts Techniques. The martial arts techniques beyond the Void-breaking Realm should also be compiled quickly and shared with him in due course.”

Li Xuan pondered over the cultivation direction after the Void-breaking Realm, having already determined it, just needing to perfect the theoretical framework and techniques of the martial arts.

“Is Fang Hao about to break through as well?”

Li Xuan pondered, with less than a month remaining until the opening of the Divine Bridge.

Xu Yan returned from his travels, accompanying his parents, having arranged everything in the Great Wilderness, ensuring no safety concerns for his parents.

This parting might last for years, unsure of when he would return.

“Yan’er has grown up and should chart his own path.”

Mother Xu said affectionately.

“Don’t worry about me, Mother. Canglan Island is quite safe, the formation is fascinating, and I focus on it too, striving to set up that teleportation formation sooner.”

Mother Xu didn’t feel much sadness at the parting, having long known Xu Yan was to venture into broader horizons.

“Mother doesn’t ask for much, just that you stay safe on your travels, Yan’er.”

Xu Yan nodded and said, “Don’t worry, Mother. I have plenty of experience and won’t encounter danger, and with my master supporting me, even old figures can’t threaten me.”

Mother Xu nodded.

There were only ten days left until the Divine Bridge opened.

Xu Yan left a significant amount of cultivation resources, two flying boats, and Divine Origin Avatars with his parents.

Li Xuan had silently transformed the Divine Origin Avatars initially left for Xu Junhe and others into Divine Skill Jade Talismans, bearing Void-breaking strength.

With these jade talismans, even if the Immortal Heavenly Venerable descended, safety was assured.

“Red Cat, next time you return, you might not be able to be held anymore!”

Mother Xu said with a touch of reluctance, rubbing Red Cat’s chubby head.

“Meow meow!”

Red Cat waved its paw, and a line of text appeared.

“Can hold, definitely can hold!”

Mother Xu, happy, rubbed its head again.

Evergreen Pavilion’s Flying Ship soared and disappeared into the horizon as a stream of light.

North of the Azure Sea, at the gate of the Spiritual Realm.

The barrier with the Spiritual Realm had been reinforced by Li Xuan, making it difficult even for an Immortal Heavenly Venerable to cross over.

Xu Yan and the others looked back at the Great Wilderness. This parting might last for years before they could return to their homeland.

“The path of martial arts is long, and the road you must travel is far. It is life’s blessing to find companions to walk to the end with, yet true strength is lonely, for invincibility is always lonely.”

Li Xuan spoke placidly.

“Yes, Master!”

The disciples felt a jolt in their hearts upon hearing this, quickly responding with reverence.

“So that’s why Master secluded himself in the Border Wilderness; because of the loneliness of invincibility, without any companion, as Master was too strong.

“The solitude of being invincible had lasted too long for Master. Only then, in boredom, did he take me as a disciple and reengaged with the world, seeking leisure!”

Xu Yan inwardly sighed, understanding now that Master had reentered the secular world, leaving the small village after finding him because of enduring solitude.

In silence and moving to action, Master found meeting him was destined, prompting him to take him as a disciple, leave the small village, and reenter the world.

Ahead of the flying boat, the void cracked open. Entering the void again, Xu Yan, Meng Chong, and Su Lingxiu hurriedly focused once more on understanding the mystery of void-breaking.

…

In Hongzhou, spiritual realm prodigies gathered, and top experts congregated.

Wu Tianan gazed at the Azure Sea, eyes filled with anticipation, wondering if the person he sought was beyond the Divine Bridge.

Fang Hao and Moon Changming had also arrived in Hongzhou, and the situation in the spiritual realm had been settled. Even if powerful beings arrived from beyond the Divine Bridge, they could not change it.

All was based on strength, and his master’s strength was invincible.

“What is beyond the Divine Bridge?”

Fang Hao asked curiously.

Xie Tianheng and his wife, Fu Yun, approached, and Fu Yun said, “Beyond the Divine Bridge lies the Divine Realm. According to records, it is near the center of the world, but the specifics are unknown.”

Divine Realm!

“What faction does Yuntian Azure Sea City belong to in the Divine Realm?”

Fang Hao asked curiously.

The Transcendent Spirit Sect of the Spiritual Realm was subordinate to some sect in the Divine Realm, which is why it could govern the Spiritual Realm, finding and nurturing Spirit Body Prodigies for the superior sect.

These secrets were known to these prominent figures.

“I am not quite sure either; both Yuntian Azure Sea City and the Sea Spirit Tribe belong to the same upper sect, which only my father and the Sea Spirit Chief know.”

Fu Yun shook her head.

Fang Hao did not continue to ask, instead moved towards the Azure Sea, intending to breakthrough.

Moon Changming followed closely.

In some part of the Azure Sea, a great formation was set up. Fang Hao took a deep breath as the world’s momentum gathered. The Azure Sea surged with towering waves. Today, he intended to break through.

“Is that Fang Hao?”

“What is he doing, could he be breaking through?”

“After breaking through, how strong will Fang Hao be?”

Thousand Martial Lord, Yuling Mansion Lord, and Lord Leiyun frowned as they watched the surging waves in a part of the Azure Sea.

At this point, they had no other thoughts, given Fang Hao’s master was a terrifyingly strong figure, even the sects they belonged to couldn’t afford to offend.

Since that was the case, they could only foster good relations, resolving past grievances.

With waves surging, the world’s momentum gathered, and the power of principles converged. Above the firmament, mysterious patterns seemed to form.

Fang Hao sat cross-legged, the power of the world flowed into him, domain Qimen patterns being refined, and the first one was completed, emitting a radiant shine, containing a mystical power.

This particular Qimen pattern differed from those before it, seemingly a principle Qimen pattern, an embryonic form of the Qimen Martial Arts Rule.

“This is the Divine Skill Pattern!”

Fang Hao realized in his heart, now breaking through, what he refined was the Divine Skill Pattern.

With the Divine Skill Pattern refined, when deploying the Domain Incredible Formation, it was akin to the mysterious Divine Skills!

The refining of the Divine Skill Pattern continued, the second Divine Skill Pattern being completed.

With one Divine Skill Pattern, one could deploy one Domain Incredible Formation with the mystery of Divine Skills, two patterns allowed for two formations with Divine Skill power.

The breakthrough continued as the refining of the Divine Skill Pattern proceeded.

The Abyss of Azure Sea, the greatest perilous ground of the Azure Sea, was a place where divine objects were born.

Yet, due to its immense peril, none dared venture into the abyss.

No one who ventured into the abyss returned alive.

Even Xu Yan’s Divine Origin Avatar failed to reach the depths of the abyss in the past, unable to fully explore it.

At this moment, at the bottom of the abyss, a trace of bloodlight appeared.

This bloodlight surged from a dim cavern.

Heavenly Grotto!

The bloodlight surged continuously, turning the dim Heavenly Grotto faintly crimson, with blood waves as if boiling over, bubbling profusely.

Boom!

The water of the Azure Sea was kept outside the Heavenly Grotto, while within, the blood waves rolled as if boiling, bloodlight increasing in strength.

At a certain moment, figures began to emerge from within the blood waves.

These figures, although humanlike, had blood-red skin, as if soaked in blood, exuding an aura of bloodthirst.

If someone familiar were present, they would recognize these figures as matching the faces of strong figures who had previously explored the Abyss of the Azure Sea and were never seen again.

These individuals, with pale red eyes, raised their heads to look beyond the Heavenly Grotto, gazing at the Azure Sea, seemingly waiting for a moment.

Blub blub!

In the blood waves of the Heavenly Grotto, a turbulent wave rose, and these people gathered in a circle, looking reverently towards the turbulence.

Splash!

A head emerged.

Blood-red hair, a ghostly white face, a fine blood-colored line at the brow, with crimson eyes, holding a scarlet long blade.

The slender figure emerged from the blood waves, standing atop them, looking beyond the Heavenly Grotto with a sinister smile.
