Chapter 578: True Martial Realm?

The next day.

Pei Yao and Liu Taxing followed He Wenxuan to Bai Yujing.

This was good news for Li Rui.

This meant that Bai Yujing should not have any other tests.

He could also cultivate with peace of mind.

As for Bai Yujing, for him, there was no need to go at all.

Opportunities were many, but crises were also many.

All his secrets... unless he had a Dao Lord Realm expert as a backer, once leaked, even Master Gao Tianxia couldn't protect him.

Bai Yujing was a righteous sect, that was true.

But elders in righteous sects eating their disciples was not something that hadn't happened before.

He was unwilling to bet his life on the character of those elders.

In Shenxiao City.

At least he could control it; once in Bai Yujing, maybe a Dao Lord would directly attack and refine him, and he wouldn't even be able to hide.

Those who play games know.

One must develop more in low-level maps so as not to be killed in one hit.

And it was just as Li Rui thought.

Afterward, there were indeed no more waves.

After another ten years passed.

Shenxiao City, one of the Twelve Immortal Halls.

"Master."

A middle-aged cultivator walked into the Immortal Hall.

At this time, there was already an old man in the Immortal Hall.

It was the third City Lord of Shenxiao City besides Chong Hua and Gao Tianxia, Hong Tianyong.

"You're here."

Hong Tianyong's voice echoed in the hall.

This middle-aged cultivator was one of his disciples.

Hong Tianyong spoke faintly: "You go for a trip and bring these two people."

As he spoke, he threw out a golden light, which fell into the middle-aged male cultivator's brow.

His gaze was dull for an instant, then returned to clarity.

"Li Rui, Yin Tian."

The middle-aged male cultivator was startled.

Immediately, he deliberated for a long while before speaking: "Master, the latter is still easy to talk about, but this Li Rui... is City Lord Gao's grand-disciple, I'm afraid..."

Just after speaking.

He heard a cold snort from Hong Tianyong:

"Am I afraid of that guy surnamed Gao?"

The three City Lords of Shenxiao City.

In terms of seniority, Chong Hua was the oldest; in terms of realm, he was the highest. Gao Tianxia? A guy who just walked out of a Small Cave Heaven, what kind of thing is he?

Not being able to beat him was true, but did Gao Tianxia have the ability to kill him?

Seeing his master say so, he knew this matter had to be done.

He only felt incomparably tricky.

But he could only agree: "Yes, Master."

And then turned and left.

Hong Tianyong narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at his disciple, lost in thought.

That day of the assessment.

He was also present.

Although the City Lord and He Wenxuan did not tell the three Deputy City Lords the truth, he later guessed some clues through his connections in Bai Yujing.

"Spirit of the immortal fruit."

Hong Tianyong's heart stirred slightly.

Among the three City Lords of Shenxiao City.

He and Gao Tianxia were actually outsiders; he joined Shenxiao City only two hundred years after stepping into the Heaven-Human Realm.

Note, it was Shenxiao City. Not Bai Yujing.

Bai Yujing's recruitment was extremely strict, not just having a realm was enough.

And the more people who joined halfway, the higher the realm, the more they were guarded against.

Who told such people that if they were spies sent by other immortal sects, the harm would be greater.

In Taihua Province.

What Bai Yujing had to guard against was not just the Wan Fadian, the Blood Demon Sect, and these demonic sects; righteous sects also had to be guarded against.

Twelve Towers and Wucheng, except for City Lords and Hall Masters, the rest were not core members of Bai Yujing.

And the reason he joined Shenxiao City even after reaching Heaven-Human was for that legendary immortal fruit.

But he had been in Shenxiao City for a hundred years and had not obtained even half a spirit of the immortal fruit.

Bai Yujing did have extremely rare times when they would bestow the spirit of the immortal fruit to talented disciples of the Twelve Towers and Wucheng; it was limited to disciples, elders were not among them, and they were all talented disciples with clean backgrounds; often as soon as they were bestowed, they would be absorbed to become core members of Bai Yujing.

Hong Tianyong naturally knew.

Bai Yujing did this to prevent the immortal fruit from leaking out.

Now, he finally had a chance.

According to his guess, the four people chosen by He Wenxuan that day were very likely all carrying the spirit of the immortal fruit.

Since he couldn't get the immortal fruit, refining people with the spirit of the immortal fruit was the same!

Another sixty years.

He would also enter that terrible Five Decays of Heaven and Man.

Almost to that step, what cultivator wouldn't be crazy?

Didn't want to die.

Then he could only fight!

For a cultivator, there was nothing more desperate than watching oneself approach the limit of lifespan and having to undergo feathering and ascension.

"Proving the Dao through force is really not ordinary, directly stepping into the early stage; back then, my Dao Lord also spent a full twenty years to stabilize in the early stage; you kid, don't be too proud, you are still young, don't be greedy for progress, laying a solid foundation is the fundamental."

The artifact spirit old man first praised, then couldn't help but give a few pointers.

Li Rui's speed of improvement was truly too scary.

When he first met Li Rui.

This little guy was only in the Miaoxuan Realm, and now he was in the Dao Body Realm.

Crossing two realms!

In less than a hundred years.

Even the artifact spirit old man, who was used to geniuses, had to admit it was truly too fast.

Li Rui: "Senior can rest assured."

The artifact spirit old man nodded with satisfaction, saying: "Kid, this Dao foundation is the fundamental; for example, for a Dharma cultivator, the height of the Dao foundation determines the height of the Dharma body; once my Dao Lord fought a Dao Lord who proved the Dao through Dharma, the person's Dao foundation was three thousand zhang, and the Dharma body was also three thousand zhang; that was truly tyrannical."

"Proving the Dao through artifacts is also the same; only when the Dao foundation reaches thirty zhang can one condense a natal mysterious weapon; the higher the Dao foundation, the more and stronger mysterious weapons one can refine."

"Proving the Dao through force is also the same; your Dao foundation is already over thirty zhang, so you can barely open the True Martial Realm."

Li Rui's eyes lit up.

He came to find the artifact spirit old man specifically for the True Martial Realm.

After Harmony, Dharma cultivators who proved the Dao through Dharma obtained Dharma bodies, and artifact cultivators obtained natal mysterious weapons.

Force cultivators who proved the Dao through force naturally had to gain something.

That was the True Martial Realm in the artifact spirit old man's mouth.

The True Martial Realm was actually similar to the existence of a domain, but more tyrannical.

Just like Yuan Dingting's Soldier Domain, it had a few prototypes of the True Martial Realm, which was why it was called half a proof of the Dao through force by Gu Changsheng.

"Those who prove the Dao through force are extremely rare, so my Dao Lord didn't know much about the situation of this True Martial Realm; generally speaking, the role of the True Martial Realm is to enhance oneself and suppress the enemy in one aspect, which could be strength, speed, or other aspects."

"For example, the Dao Lord Potian who built the largest Dao foundation in the Tai Xu Dao Field, he proved the Dao through force, and his True Martial Realm was extremely special, suppressing the Great Dao; that was truly unreasonable."

Hearing this.

Li Rui's eyes suddenly lit up.

There was a precedent!

What the world feared most was having no predecessor and no successor; such figures were the most envied and the shortest-lived.

That was why Li Rui had never dared to reveal his Immortal Domain.

But now that there was a precedent, it was different.

If he could use the True Martial Realm to cover up the Immortal Domain... he could have fewer worries and could let go when fighting others.
