Chapter 1083: Breakthrough! Ninth-Rank Upper Position!

"A secret realm from ten thousand years ago?" Xu Jingming was momentarily stunned.

What a coincidence?

Teacher Aimosi had only just reminded him, and now this secret realm had already been discovered.

"Where is this secret realm?" he hurriedly asked.

"It's located in Gomorrah on Heizhou. It's just a pity that there are powerful ones from other countries present; otherwise we could have enjoyed this secret realm all to ourselves."

Hearing Ling Shuang sounded somewhat regretful.

Under her arrangements, the Void Temple had dispatched a total of three teams to explore the secret realm spaces within Blue Star.

Each team was composed of one ninth-rank space-system practitioner and several space-system Xida Sect masters.

However, in addition to this, there were also ninth-rank powerhouses under the command of the various supreme powerhouses of Blue Star accompanying them.

The purpose was to prevent this secret realm from being swallowed up by one party alone.

"Heizhou? Then it's already a bit late to head there now."

Xu Jingming frowned. "Has the secret realm space already opened?"

"No."

Ling Shuang shook her head. "This secret realm is extremely troublesome to crack. Even with Zhang Hengyang and the others present, it would still take at least a day or so."

Besides, this secret realm is extraordinary; other powerhouses have probably already notified their respective supreme powerhouses.

Jingming, should we contact President Zhou?

"Mm, this secret realm is no longer something we can handle on our own."

Xu Jingming nodded and immediately called Zhou Yuanwu.

Upon hearing this news, Zhou Yuanwu was overjoyed and immediately decided to head to Heizhou.

"A secret realm from ten thousand years ago — this is going to be lively. I'm afraid every supreme powerhouse on Blue Star will descend."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Jingming let out a light breath.

However, this was not a good thing for him.

Even if he broke through to ninth-rank upper position, he estimated he still wouldn't be a match for a supreme powerhouse.

If he were to seek the opportunity foretold by Aimosi within the secret realm, it would probably be somewhat difficult.

Of course,

with big shots like Aimosi and Zhou Yuanwu present, it wasn't entirely without a chance.

"According to Zhang Hengyang and the others' investigation, this secret realm space is extremely unstable.

It may be because it has existed for too long; I'm afraid it won't be able to accommodate ability users at the supreme powerhouse level."

Ling Shuang added some more information.

For space-system ability users, there are differences between spaces.

For example, geological workers exploring underground can judge the age of rocks.

Space-system ability users are the same — even if the secret realm hasn't opened yet,

they can still use special methods to judge how long this secret realm has existed and the stability of its space.

"Oh?" Xu Jingming's eyes lit up.

If supreme powerhouses can't enter, then wouldn't the entire secret realm be his to do as he pleased?

"Teacher Ling, go call Teacher Su over." In high spirits, Xu Jingming waved his hand grandly.

"Jingming, isn't it still a bit too early...?"

Glancing at the sky outside, Ling Shuang's pretty face flushed slightly red.

It's still noon right now......

But thinking that Xu Jingming had been rushing about on the national front-line battlefields and had been separated from them for over eight days,

she couldn't help feeling a bit heated, her fair, beautiful legs beneath her long skirt rubbing together restlessly.

"What does it have to do with the time?"

Xu Jingming gave her a puzzled look, then said with a smile: "I'm preparing to break through. I need both teachers to protect me."

Although it was impossible to be ambushed at the main base of Lei Ting Martial Hall, it was still better to be safe.

With two SS-rank powerhouses like Ling Shuang and Su Qingli present, as long as it wasn't a supreme powerhouse, no one could possibly interrupt his breakthrough.

"Alright, I'll go find Qingli right now."

Realizing she had misunderstood, Ling Shuang's pretty face turned as red as blood.

Just as she was about to teleport away to find Su Qingli, she suddenly reacted.

Her apricot eyes widened into perfect circles, her moist little lips parted slightly, and she stared at Xu Jingming in a daze:

"You're breaking through? You don't mean... your rank, right?"

"As expected of Teacher Ling — your guess is spot on." Xu Jingming grinned.

"Huh?" Ling Shuang stood rooted to the spot like a wooden chicken.

One minute later, the villa's open-air training ground.

Xu Jingming sat cross-legged at the very center of the training ground, continuously adjusting his state.

At the edge of the training ground, Su Qingli, who had already learned the news from Xu Jingming, still couldn't help asking softly:

"Sister Shuang, is Jingming really breaking through?"

"It should be true. When has he ever deceived us?" Ling Shuang said blankly.

"That's true."

Su Qingli nodded slightly, but a trace of shock still lingered on her fair, exquisite face.

A ninth-rank upper position at twenty-one years old?

What kind of变态-level prodigy is this?

She had never even heard of such a thing.

Most crucially, just ten days ago, Xu Jingming had only just broken through from Lower Ninth Stage to Middle Ninth Stage!

"Jingming has already adjusted his state to the best possible."

Hearing Ling Shuang's sudden words snapped Su Qingli out of her daze, and she quickly turned her gaze to the very center of the training ground.

"High-stage adepts' breakthroughs are such a hassle—they even need to adjust their state."

Had it not been to avoid suspicion, Xu Jingming wouldn't have needed to adjust his state at all.

And now, the facade was perfectly complete.

"Then let's begin!" Xu Jingming's gaze sharpened.

Deep Blue, allocate points!

Ability Points - 20.5 million!

Middle Ninth Stage → Upper Ninth Stage!

Boom—!!

Power surged from within him like a volcanic eruption.

Within a hundred-kilometer radius, darkness suddenly fell; the sky seemed to gain an extra layer of pale white cloud.

No! This was not cloud—it was solidified Yuan Energy!

And its color kept deepening, caused by the continuous gathering of Yuan Energy.

Whoosh—

In the sky,

Yuan Energy streamed endlessly, howling toward the ground and pouring into Xu Jingming's body!

From afar, it looked like a typhoon over the sea performing the Dragon's Drink.

But the typhoons over the sea sucked water up into the sky.

This Yuan Energy typhoon, however, was Xu Jingming drawing Yuan Energy down from the heavens into himself!

"A Yuan Energy hurricane? And it covers a hundred-kilometer radius?"

"This is insane—who's breaking through?"

"It's coming from the direction of Lei Ting Martial Hall!"

"......"

Such an astonishing commotion naturally drew the attention of the entire Ningnan City.

Countless people pulled out their phones and filmed this breathtaking scene.

Su Qingli and Hearing Ling Shuang, standing at the very center of the Yuan Energy hurricane, felt it even more profoundly.

Even the Yuan Energy storm generated by the breakthrough alone made both of them struggle to breathe.

"This is insane! This is just the Yuan Energy storm."

When Jingming completes the breakthrough, how strong will he become?"

Su Qingli and Hearing Ling Shuang stared with boundless shock.

The commotion caused by this breakthrough was unprecedented, unheard-of.

The Yuan Energy storm lasted over two hours before slowly subsiding.

And Xu Jingming, at the center of the open-air training ground, had already reached peak power!

After a while longer, he suddenly opened his eyes, and deep within them flashed a streak of black Lei Guang.

Upper Ninth Stage! Successfully broken through!
