~16 min read 3,004 words

Star-Plucking Platform, Enlightenment Lotus Platform.

Xia Hong is sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed. His whole body is emitting firelight, and a dark red bone image nearly six zhang high is suspended behind him. The surface of the bone image is attached with a layer of golden patterns like molten lava, looking quite mysterious.

Accompanied by the rhythm of his breathing becoming heavier, the light emitted by those golden patterns also became more dazzling, as if providing assistance to that dark red bone image that was still growing and expanding.

That's right, the bone image phantom behind him was still growing.

Although the speed was shockingly slow, almost in a way of one li by one li, it was indeed gradually growing larger, and accompanied by the expansion, the momentum transmitted by the dark red bone image also became more terrifying.

The height of the bone image was already close to six zhang.

Accompanied by this last wave of enlargement and stretching, it was infinitely close to six zhang.

But it was this last bit of distance that made Xia Hong's breathing become heavier and heavier, and the pain on his face became more intense.

"Heh... heh………………"

Accompanied by the medicinal power accelerating into his body, he even made suppressed and low hissing sounds in his mouth. A white light suddenly emerged from his brow, then split into a small half, and together with the medicinal power, frantically poured into his body.

Hum!

A roaring sound exploded in Xia Hong's heart. The dark red bone image behind him erupted with a burst of strong light again. Accompanied by the strong light, that last bit of critical point was finally crossed.

"Six-zhang bone image, achieved!"

Xia Hong's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened. The firelight surrounding his body suddenly surged upward by more than double, and the temperature-rising range that originally only radiated 500 meters rapidly expanded to the periphery.

550 meters... 600 meters... 700 meters... 900 meters... 1100 meters... 1300 meters... 1500 meters.

The total depth of Does Does Da Xia's expanded inner city was only a little over five kilometers. A radiation range of three kilometers meant that at this very moment, any movement in the inner city was almost in Xia Hong's perception.

"The temperature-rising range is three times what it was before, so, strength..."

Xia Hong clenched his fist slightly, looked at the exposed sky above the Star-Plucking Platform, a flash of brilliance flashed in his eyes, and he raised his hand directly toward the sky, throwing a punch.

The fist wind blasted out, almost directly turning into firelight, like a flame dragon rushing straight into the sky. The violent air explosion sound exploded in the sky only after one breath.

Bang…………

With the flame dragon fist wind as the core, the five li radius in the sky above the inner city, not to mention the snowflakes in the sky, even the cold air all around was instantly driven away, directly forming a vacuum like a nuclear explosion, clearing it all away.

Hum…………

Whoosh whoosh whoosh…………

The shock wave spread more than ten li to the surroundings. While spreading, the originally driven-away airflow gathered again, directly forming a violent and domineering airflow vortex.

Not to mention the sensation in the inner city, Xia Hong looked at the clouds shaken by his fist wind in the high sky at this moment, his pupils full of excitement and agitation.

"40 jun, 3 times, no, my basic strength before breaking through the critical point was only 12 jun, so it's more than 3 times, close to 3.5 times the increase, this is too exaggerated, too exaggerated..."

Xia Hong's pupils were full of heat at this moment.

1 mane equals 100,000 jin, 100 manes equal 1 jun, which is to say, 1 jun is approximately equal to 10 million jin. Ten million jin, this is almost a level of strength that cannot be intuitively realized with data and already belongs to another level.

This is the Xianyang level. The core reason why strength cannot continue to improve without breaking through the existing cultivation level.

Because at the jun level, the difficulty of improving again is too great!

Xia Hong had previously anticipated a two-fold increase, from 12 jun to 24 jun, which was already his most bold idea.

3.5 times, this really gave him a big surprise!

You know, this is just the change in basic strength.

"Before, I also guessed that Yang Zun, Shangguan Yang, and Qin Feng were all in the late Xianyang stage. Now it seems that all three are still in the middle cultivation stage, but the middle cultivation stage of these three people, compared to me, the gold content is too low."

Xia Hong moved slightly behind him, perceiving the changes in his bone image with his eyes closed.

The biggest change in the bone image is, of course, its size, growing from the initial three zhang to the current six zhang; secondly, the luster of the bone image, which is more shiny than before, and the patterns attached to it are also turning into extreme gold; finally, outside the bone image, there is actually an extra layer of transparent meridian tissue.

During the Battle of Hong Sect last September, there was also a layer of such meridian tissue outside Yang Zun's bone image. Xia Hong previously thought that was a sign of late Xianyang cultivation. Now that he has broken through himself, he naturally understands.

"The middle stage produces meridians, so the late stage is highly likely to grow flesh and blood, and then to the peak stage, once the skin-membrane comes out, the bone image battle body can be completely realized, which should be what it means, right?"

Xia Hong looked at the changes in the bone image, his face thoughtful.

Although he has no experience from predecessors, the cultivation level advances layer by layer, and everything has traces to follow, so he can know the general idea by speculation.

Combat body aptitude is divided from the stage of breaking through the Cold-Resisting level, which is the skin-membrane molding stage, and the subsequent strength growth of the Cold-Resisting level is closely related to it;

The combat body bone image is divided from the stage of breaking through the Xianyang level, and the subsequent strength growth of the Xianyang level is clearly also closely related to it.

Iron Bone 3 jun, Silver Bone 4 jun, Gold Bone 5 jun, Jade Bone 7 jun, and finally Burning Bone is 10 jun. Xia Hong remembers clearly what his strength was at each of these five stages.

"The combat body bone image is completely realized, let's make a bold speculation, it corresponds to the next big realm, the Zunxiang level, but I don't know why there is a Jie-Body level in the middle. Jie-Body, Jie-Body, could it be that one has to cross a tribulation!"

A hint of strangeness flashed across Xia Hong's brows. Just looking at these three words, one can only speculate about this possibility.

"No, no, I am still a long way from the late stage. Just looking at the current situation, it will take at least five or six years. It's useless to think too much. Go to the Fanzhen side and see, then you will know everything!"

Xia Hong shook his head and laughed dumbly, but soon thought of something. He raised his right hand, and as a white light group slowly appeared in his palm, his expression immediately became excited.

"Being able to break through in advance is all thanks to the incense!"

Last October, before Xia Hong went into seclusion, he had already estimated that it would take at least two more years for him to break through to the middle stage.

He broke through now, which is considered to be more than a year ahead of schedule!

The reason is the light group in his hand at this moment, which condensed the incense of sacrifice from everyone in the entire camp.

To be precise, it is the credit of the level 5 Ancestral Spirit Tablet!

【Special Function 5: The host is the only Great Clan, and can enjoy an incense cultivation increase once a year. The increase effect is related to the number of offerers and their piety.】

This unexpected joy, in the final analysis, stems from the population explosion last year!

Last September, the last round of population integrated into Bashang exceeded 900,000.

These people, just merged into Does Does Da Xia, naturally wouldn't set up monuments for sacrifice immediately, but as a year passed, they all began to set up monuments for sacrifice in the ancestral temple.

In May, when assisting Li Ying Xuan Ling to impact the Xianyang level, Xia Hong thought of this, so he told Xia Chuan in advance to advance this year's ancestral festival date to August 5th.

First, he wanted to take advantage of this round of ancestral festival after the population explosion to impact the middle Xianyang stage; second, he didn't want to miss the hair-pinning ceremony of his son and daughter.

"Ying Xuan Ling also broke through, heterologous ice bone, although the strength is only 9 jun, it is the same level as my Burning Bone. When she was at the peak of the Cold-Resisting level, she was only 4 manes different from me, but once she broke through to the Xianyang level, she opened a gap of 1 jun. Aptitude really determines too much, it's too hard to make up for it."

Xia Hong sighed slightly, and then thought of something, jumped out of the divine lotus, and flew quickly toward the direction of the ancestral temple Sacred Platform.

"Almost forgot, the two little guys will blame me!"

He rushed to leave seclusion today because he didn't want to miss the hair-pinning ceremony of his children. He almost forgot it completely because he was too excited.

The ancestral temple is behind the Star-Plucking Platform, separated by only three hundred meters. Xia Hong was naturally there in an instant and soon flew above the Sacred Platform.

And the Great Clan Sacred Platform was currently performing the hair-pinning ceremony for Xia Yu Yao and Xia Yu Sheng.

The hair-pinning ceremony was nearing its end. Li Ying Xuan Ling was tying hair for the two little guys at this moment. She should have wanted to tie the daughter's first, but Xia Yu Yao's little mouth was pouting high, with a look of grievance, clearly unwilling to tie first. Instead, Xia Yu Sheng on the side was full of excitement. Seeing that his sister was unwilling to tie first, he walked directly under Li Ying Xuan Ling and handed his back of the head to her.

Xia Hong guessed half right.

Clearly, only Xia Yu Yao was blaming him.

Xia Yu Sheng finally turned six today, and he was full of thoughts about cultivation, having long forgotten his own father.

Xia Hong appeared in the sky. The first to notice was naturally Li Ying Xuan Ling, then Xia Chuan, Director Yu Wen Tao, and the more than 300 people below.

They looked at Xia Hong, whose momentum was becoming more and more vigorous, slowly descending, knowing that the Lord's strength was much stronger than before, their faces full of excitement and agitation, and they all bowed to him in unison:

"Congratulations to the Lord for the great success of the divine skill, may the Lord live for ten thousand years, may Does Does Da Xia live for ten thousand years!"

A group of children was startled, but they reacted immediately, looking up at Xia Hong who was slowly descending, and followed their respective fathers to shout in unison:

"Congratulations to the Lord for the great success of the divine skill, may the Lord live for ten thousand years, may Does Does Da Xia live for ten thousand years!"

On the Sacred Platform, Xia Yu Yao's tense little face suddenly bloomed with a smile the moment she saw her father. She rushed to her father in one step, looked at her brother with provocation, and said crisply and proudly: "Daddy, help A-Yao tie the hair-pin!"

"Cough..."

Xia Yu Sheng's mouth puffed up with anger, and he subconsciously wanted to rush to his father's side, but before he could make the move, he was stopped by a light cough from his mother Li Ying Xuan Ling, who was tying his hair.

"Ceremony completed!"

Today, it was not just Xia Yu Yao and Xia Yu Sheng who performed the hair-pinning ceremony, but also the eldest niece Xia Yuining. Xia Chuan was still the main sacrificer. After tying the hair-pin for his daughter, he loudly announced the completion of the ceremony.

Next was the last link, and it should be Xia Hong's turn.

"Yuan Cheng, your eyeballs are almost popping out!"

Seeing Yuan Cheng looking at the offerings on the table with full expectation, Xia Hong teased with a smile, which immediately caused the crowd below to laugh.

Yuan Cheng touched his head and laughed, "There are more offerings this time than in previous years! This subordinate is indeed greedy. It would be great if the Lord could share more with me."

"Sharing more is not possible, still the same as previous years, according to the title!"

Xia Hong responded with a smile, then waved his hand lightly at the table, injecting all the incense light group left over from his cultivation into the four kinds of offerings.

The incense light group can not only be used by himself but also injected into the offerings used up in the annual sacrifice. Xia Hong had a premonition early on that the incense this year would be far more prosperous than last year, so he asked Xia Chuan to prepare more offerings in advance.

Under the hosting of Qiu Peng, the distribution process ended quickly, and everyone received a portion of the offerings according to their title.

"Alright, the ancestral festival is over. Xia Chuan, all the department heads and deputy department heads, all the garrison commanders of large footholds, all go to the Political Hall. I haven't left seclusion for almost a year. You should introduce the camp situation to me. The rest of you, disperse if there is nothing else!"

Xia Hong left a sentence, picked up Xia Yu Yao and Xia Yu Sheng, and flew directly toward the main hall. Li Ying Xuan Ling followed closely behind.

Xia Chuan and the others who were named also walked quickly down the ancestral temple and walked toward the main hall. The remaining nearly three hundred people on the Sacred Platform also dispersed one after another.

…………

"21,800 jin, 21,500 jin, good fellow, you will have to start molding the skin-membrane in less than a year, and you will be able to break through to the Cold-Resisting level before the age of 10!"

Main hall, Political Hall.

Xia Hong sat in the main seat, looked at the two little guys in his arms first, and couldn't help but exclaim.

"Humph humph, that's of course, A-Yao is Daddy's daughter!"

Hearing his daughter's words, Xia Hong laughed uncontrollably.

"Others are about to enter the hall, don't pester your daddy anymore, hurry up and come to my side!"

Hearing his mother's slightly stern words, the two little guys immediately restrained themselves a lot, hurriedly jumped down from Xia Hong's arms, and walked quickly to his mother's seat, sitting obediently by her side, one on the left and one on the right.

Seeing that a pair of children were so obedient to Li Ying Xuan Ling, Xia Hong shook his head repeatedly, and even felt a bit jealous in his heart.

"Speaking of this, I am a bit angry. The Lingru Pill was originally planned to be taken once a month. The two of them actually ran to my room, dug out the Lingru Pill, hid it secretly, and ate one more pill every month. If I hadn't noticed that their strength growth speed was not right after leaving seclusion, I guess no one would know until now."

Xia Hong was stunned for a moment, then looked at the two little guys, his expression slightly heavy: "Even daring to eat pills indiscriminately, your courage is getting bigger and bigger!"

Xia Yu Yao and Xia Yu Sheng were already a bit guilty after hearing their mother's words. Hearing their father's tone was so stern, they lowered their heads immediately.

"This time, I will punish you not to leave the inner city for a month. If you dare to eat pills indiscriminately next time, it will be a year. Do you dare to do it again in the future?"

"Never dare again!"

Hearing the two little guys' answer in unison, Xia Hong felt relieved.

Although the two little guys have good aptitude, they are only in the Earth-Digging Realm after all. Fortunately, the Lingru Pill has mild medicinal power. If they really ate some pills they shouldn't eat at this stage, the consequences would be very serious.

"I originally planned to suppress them. Now I am afraid that they will really break through to the Cold-Resisting level before the age of 10. If that's the case, don't even think about walking out of Xia City before you are 15 years old!"

Hearing Li Ying Xuan Ling's words, the two little faces of Xia Yu Yao and Xia Yu Sheng suddenly tightened like bitter gourds, almost writing the word regret on their foreheads.

"Hahahaha……"

Seeing the expressions of the two little guys, Xia Hong laughed uncontrollably.

Last year, when the two little guys took the Lingru Pill for the first time, Xia Hong watched from the side the whole time. He knew then that with their aptitude, the monthly intake limit should be three pills.

Giving only one pill a month was a decision made by Li Ying Xuan Ling.

The reason is not complicated, it is just to fear that the aptitude of the two little guys will be too monstrous, which will attract some great disaster. ===== CHAPTER 433 =====
