…

‘I finally reached the peak of the void realm!’

The current Xu Ning had finally stepped into the true domain realm from the mold body realm.

And his next goal was the dao realm.

Swoosh!

Xu Ning’s attribute true intent had undergone another qualitative change.

He spread his attribute domain, covering the entire sealed room.

‘The previous version of my attribute true intent can only enhance the power of my attribute by latching onto it, but now I can display its power independently. Wherever my attribute domain covers, my strength will greatly increase, while my enemies will be weakened.’

Xu Ning cultivated a water and fire dual secret scroll, so he had two attributes.

The true domain realm was the realm where the difference in strength between void realm martial artists was the greatest.

In this realm, a fight was a competition of attributes.

Whoever had the more domineering attribute domain was stronger.

Not only did Xu Ning have double the strength from his dual attribute domain, but his attribute domain also covered a larger area.

For weaker true domain realm martial artists, their attribute domain would only cover an area of about ten meters, so they could only exert the power of their domain when they were close enough.

An ordinary true domain realm martial artist had an attribute domain of about 30 meters.

For powerful true domain realm martial artists, such as Mi Xingye, their attribute domain might span up to 100 meters.

Although Xu Ning was in the mystic realm and his attribute domain couldn’t extend beyond the edge of the sealed room, Xu Ning determined that his attribute domain could cover at least 100 meters!

This range greatly improved Xu Ning’s area-of-effect attacks.

‘In the future, when facing enemies in my attribute domain, I can use the Water Cross Sword and the Bright Fire Sword to rain down an endless storm of swords! No one can stand a hundred meters around me. Even a half-step dao realm master can only protect themselves in my domain; they are unable to hurt me at all. If I hold a dao weapon and use it to cover my domain, I can even kill a half-step dao realm master!’

Although there was only one realm of improvement from the true intent realm to the true domain realm, this improvement was even greater compared to reaching the common seal realm from the attribute realm.

In Xu Ning’s opinion, the true domain realm was the true watershed of the void realm.

‘Now that I have reached the true domain realm, I still have 23,000 units of energy left, which is enough for me to advance my remaining secret techniques and alchemy techniques to the ninth level.’

Thinking of this, Xu Ning controlled the Martial Arts Panel and raised the Flame Breath Bone Sutra, Tidal Fist, Life Pill Sutra, and the Inkmoon Pill Sutra to the ninth level.

It took 4000 units of energy to advance from the eighth level to the ninth level, and 3200 units of energy were needed to advance from the seventh level to the eighth level, so the total energy consumption of this period of strengthening was 19,200 units of energy.

After advancing everything, he still had 3,800 units of energy left.

‘Unless it is a dao realm master, no one can kill me now!’

Xu Ning’s strength had reached the limit of the void realm.

‘Now that I have passed the third round, I wonder what kind of assessment is next.’

Xu Ning thought to himself after his strength had increased once more.

Xu Ning had no information about what was after the third test.

The information he obtained from Feng Changge was now obsolete.

‘However, although I don’t know what the next assessment is, the core inheritance of this mystic realm should either be a demonic technique or an alchemy technique!’

With Xu Ning’s current situation, he naturally only wanted alchemy techniques.

Although he had the Inkmoon Pill Sutra, it was only a void realm alchemist’s alchemy technique.

Xu Ning had yet to obtain the complete inheritance of a dao realm alchemist.

‘Now that I have advanced to the true domain realm, maybe I can take a look at the dao realm advancement technique that Master passed me…’

After waiting for a while, Xu Ning still did not see the prompt to enter the next assessment, so he took out the memory crystal Mi Xingye gave him.

‘What does a dao realm technique look like?’

Xu Ning was full of expectations.

After experiencing mortal realm techniques and void realm secret scrolls, he was about to unlock the secrets of the dao realm.

Whoosh!

Xu Ning injected a wisp of true qi into the memory crystal.

Immediately after, the memory crystal flashed, and all the information recorded inside rushed into Xu Ning’s mind.

‘So this is a dao realm technique…’

After a while, Xu Ning digested the dao realm technique in the memory crystal.

The dao realm technique recorded was much less impressive than Xu Ning had imagined.

Xu Ning thought that the dao realm technique in his hand was a complete dao realm advancement system. Just like a mortal realm internal technique and void realm secret scroll, it would contain all the realms from the first to the ninth stage.

But the truth was not what Xu Ning had thought. This dao realm technique was really just a way to break through to the dao realm.

After breaking through the shackles of the void realm and advancing to the dao realm, there was no follow-up.

‘This…’

Xu Ning was a little confused.

‘Is the dao realm technique that Master gave me missing something? Or is the dao realm different from the void realm and mortal realm?’

Xu Ning couldn’t find an answer.

However, although he did not obtain a complete dao realm advancement system, it was enough to know how to break through to the dao realm.

‘If I want to break through to the dao realm, the first thing I have to do is to transform the qi currents in my body into attribute seeds…’

Xu Ning thought to himself, ‘After forming an attribute seed in my body, I will be ready to advance to the dao realm. At this stage, I will be called a half-step dao realm master.’

There were four types of qi currents in Xu Ning’s body, and all of them were provided by void realm secret techniques.

Not long after entering the void realm, there was a rumor that void realm secret techniques and void realm secret scrolls complemented each other.

And now that he looked at it, if the level of one’s void realm secret technique was not high enough, one would not be able to break through to the dao realm.

‘Once the attribute seed takes shape, the attribute seed will further evolve, allowing one to reach the dao realm.’

‘According to the dao realm technique, the more attribute seeds one condenses, the stronger one’s foundation will be after advancing to the dao realm. However, the maximum attribute seeds for the same attribute can only be three. I have the water and fire attribute, so I can condense at most six attribute seeds.’

At this point, Xu Ning was glad that he chose a dual attribute void realm secret scroll. In the end, it seemed that this was a wise choice.

‘In order to gather six attribute seeds to advance, I have to practice more fire and more water attribute secret techniques that have different characteristics, differing from penetration, cutting, annihilation, and corrosion. Only then can I gather three attribute seeds for each attribute.’

Xu Ning felt that this was not difficult to accomplish.

After being in the void realm for so long, Xu Ning had gathered a lot of resources. In his reserves, he could easily find another water and another fire-based secret technique.

He only needed to spend some energy to cultivate them to the ninth level.

‘Let’s see if I can engrave the dao realm technique on the Martial Arts Panel first…’

After thinking about it, Xu Ning decided to continue figuring out the dao realm technique.

However, right at this moment, the space in the sealed room twisted again and a spatial vortex appeared.

Seeing this, Xu Ning stopped.

‘Is the next assessment about to begin…’

Xu Ning put away the memory crystal.

The mystic realm assessment was obviously more urgent.

Xu Ning cleaned up, adjusted his condition, and stepped into the spatial vortex.

…

At the same time.

Inside the mystic realm, under a void staircase.

Three figures stood below.

They were the people who had entered the mystic realm before Xu Ning.

They were the burly bearded man with the giant dao axe on his back, the slender woman with charming eyes, and the green-clothed man who first discovered the mystic realm.

“What happened? After so long, only the three of us are here?”

The woman with charming eyes, Jian Li, frowned and sounded dissatisfied.

“Were they all eliminated?”

The green-clothed man, Chu Yeyang, said doubtfully, “That shouldn’t be the case. All of us have a token, so we only need to pass the mental test. Even with that, they couldn’t even pass the test?”

“They really are useless.”

Fang Lixing, the burly man with the giant axe, snorted. “But it doesn’t matter. I only brought them here to make up the numbers. I just didn’t expect that they are so weak despite all of us here being descendants of the Red Sea Demon Lord.”

“Indeed.”

Jian Li echoed, “If they can’t pass the mental test, it only shows that they are weak. Such people are indeed not worthy of the ultimate inheritance of the Red Sea Demon Lord.”

The ancestors of Fang Lixing, Jian Li, and Chu Yeyang’s family were all servants accepted by the Red Sea Demon Lord in the seventeen states of the Abyss North. They were not even in-name disciples.

When the Red Sea Demon Lord traveled here, he had no servants to serve him, so he chose some mortal realm warriors and fed them demonic pills. He guided their demonic techniques, allowing them to all advance to the dao realm.

Afterwards, on his journey, Red Sea Demon Lord discovered several talented descendants and accepted them as in-name disciples. And when he returned to State Wansheng, he brought them along.

However, when he returned to State Wansheng, Red Sea Demon Lord did not bring these servants with him. Instead, he asked them to continue to stay in the seventeen states of the Abyss North. He wanted them to stay here for another hundred years to search for qualified disciples for him, after which he would then bring them all back to State Wansheng.

During his journey, Red Sea Demon Lord even left behind a mystic realm.

He exhorted those servants that if anyone could enter the mystic realm and obtain the inheritance, they would not need to wait for a hundred years and could just bring back the inheritor.

If no one received the inheritance during the time limit, they could spread the method of entering this mystic realm, allowing those who received the method to enter this mystic realm.

In the end, no one entered or received the inheritance of the mystic realm for the past hundred years.

Thus, the servants spread the location of the mystic realm through black stones which could sense the position of the mystic realm.

But because they all had their own selfish motives, whilst also not daring to disobey the orders of the Red Sea Demon Lord, they left behind information on how to obtain the black stones and even crucial tokens to their descendants.

Fang Lixing, Jian Li, Chu Yeyang, and the others were the descendants of those servants.
