directly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pale yellow light shone in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking shape amidst the slight dust and smoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So strong!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Zhangqing subconsciously gripped the long sword in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One must know that this was a sect building, made of quite hard materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He remembered that yesterday he could only pierce through it, leaving sword marks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, it had directly collapsed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he hadn't even used his full strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just a casual slash!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The increase in cultivation base is part of the reason, but the more important factor is the Sword Momentum!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Zhangqing thought to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sword Momentum is a profound power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Sword Momentum, the power of any sword technique will be amplified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Specifically, it depends on the grade of the sword technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can I challenge the Opening Aperture Realm

Aperture?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The human body has many apertures and mysterious gates, called Yuan Apertures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Apertures contain Yuan Blood, which is innate blood with extraordinary power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After absorbing it, all functions of the physical body will undergo a qualitative transformation!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is not something the Pulse

Sect!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cultivate!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned and went to the room next door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Outer Sect, if one has money, one can rent a large courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There is no need to squeeze in with others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time flies like an arrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, half a month passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The loud bell chime once again echoed throughout the territory of the Profound Heaven Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was soul-shaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, many people were running toward the depths of the Outer Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because today was the end of the month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was also the day the Puppet Gorge opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Profound Heaven Sect's requirements for disciples could be said to be extremely strict.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For an Outer Sect disciple to enter the Inner Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Merely becoming an Opening Aperture Realm martial artist is not enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One also needs to pass through the Puppet Gorge!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gorge is not long, only about three hundred meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But inside, there are many, many humanoid puppets arranged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The further one goes, the stronger they become.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is said that at the very end, there are even Level 2 puppets comparable to the Opening Aperture Realm!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over the years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many Outer Sect disciples, despite having become Opening Aperture Realm martial artists, were still blocked by the gorge and could not enter the Inner Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They would spend a year or two, or even longer, honing themselves before they could pass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Profound Heaven Sect actually has many Outer Sect disciples, after all, it is one of the few Grade 2 sects in the Tianling Continent!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A rough estimate puts the number at tens of thousands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every once in a while, Opening Aperture Realm martial artists appear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of the Puppet Gorge, which exuded a cold aura, three figures were standing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of them were Opening Aperture Realm martial artists from the Outer Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their strength was at the first level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you think these three can make it through today?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many people were watching from a distance, and someone asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They should be able to. These three seem to have broken through to the Opening Aperture Realm a year ago, so they must be well-prepared.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone answered immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the discussion of the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three puffed out their chests slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A look of confidence appeared on their faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Indeed, with a year of preparation and accumulation, they also believed they could pass!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Inner Sect!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is where the true elites of the sect reside!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Possessing the true martial path!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who will go first?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Outer Sect Elder said slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was advanced in age.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was even a hint of twilight on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the three, his eyes were calm and undisturbed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll go first!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of them said first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was burly, carrying a large saber, and stepped into the gorge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, everyone looked at him with anticipation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the elegant room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tall figure sat cross-legged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was shirtless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Revealing strong, yet not exaggerated muscles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lines were quite perfect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Meng Zhangqing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today was already the fifteenth day of his closed-door cultivation!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surroundings were filled with bottles and jars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was evident he had used many resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And his aura, compared to before, had also increased significantly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had almost reached the limit of the Pulse Forging Realm!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At a certain moment!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cracking sound suddenly came from within Meng Zhangqing's body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a bottleneck breaking!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could be clearly felt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every second, Meng Zhangqing's aura was rising frantically!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could even be said to be surging!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if breaking free from shackles!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roaring across the wilderness!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dozens of breaths later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Zhangqing slowly opened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was an intense sense of oppression in his gaze!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a manifestation brought about by the increase in strength!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Finally... the Opening Aperture Realm!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Zhangqing exhaled softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A smile appeared on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although this half-month of closed-door cultivation was dull, the result was gratifying!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sensed the situation inside his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His blood was like mercury, thick and full of vitality, his meridians were wide and flexible, and his muscles had become even denser.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, whether it was strength, speed, or other aspects, he had received a terrifying increase of more than ten times!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially in his right hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first Yuan Aperture was wide open, and pure Yuan Blood was constantly flowing out, permeating his limbs, bones, and his entire body!\u003C\u002Fp>",1054,"2026-06-16T01:39:50.180Z","2026-06-16T01:58:13.594Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","ded9afa95b411cf3c718f5bfbb6b80771fa55741e53bd4649a8e0600327963dd","fantasy-i-become-stronger-by-adding-friends-chapter-9","fantasy-i-become-stronger-by-adding-friends-chapter-7",267,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffantasy-i-become-stronger-by-adding-friends-cover.jpg"]
