Chapter 229: Coming Out

"Broken through the Grandmaster realm!" Shang Rui's face was full of shock, unable to believe it.

The Grandmaster was the end of martial arts; this was already the consensus of everyone.

No one believed that one could continue to break through after the Grandmaster.

As a result, Xia Daoming now told her that he had already broken through the Grandmaster realm.

Liu Qiaolian and the other two were also full of shock.

"I joined the Profound Heaven Sect, and a large part of the purpose was to find the path after the martial arts Grandmaster. The Inner Sect Scripture Pavilion of the Profound Heaven Sect has records of the path after the Grandmaster.

It's just that in this era, the human bloodline is constantly weakening, and the physique cannot be compared with the ancestors of the ancient era. No matter how hard a martial artist practices, they cannot break through the barriers to open the blood sea.

But there are always some geniuses in this world, and these geniuses can break through the shackles. I am considered a genius of body-refining martial arts, so I obtained the subsequent cultivation method and opened the blood sea during this closed-door cultivation." Xia Daoming saw that everyone was shocked and explained specifically.

"So that's how it is; you are definitely a genius of body-refining martial arts!" Shang Rui said with relief.

In the battle of Black Mingshan, Xia Daoming killed three Foundation Establishment late-stage cultivators in a row at the Grandmaster realm.

Shang Rui already knew that Xia Daoming was a martial arts genius, far from what other Grandmasters could compare to.

It was just that at that time, she was preconceived and limited by fixed thinking, always thinking that the Grandmaster was the end, and did not think that Xia Daoming could actually continue to advance in martial arts.

"What is the blood sea?" Soon, Shang Rui asked.

Xia Daoming specifically explained what the blood sea was.

"So the blood sea is equivalent to the Qi sea of the Qi Refining path, but the Qi sea is born with it, while the blood sea needs to be opened acquiredly. This is what led to the martial arts stopping at the Grandmaster in this era." After listening to Xia Daoming's explanation, Shang Rui finally understood completely.

"I am currently at the initial stage of opening the blood sea and need to replenish a lot of blood-Qi, so I need to eat a lot." Xia Daoming said.

"So that's how it is. However, it is said that many ancient ruins have special law powers. The creatures inside are affected by these special law powers, not only is their evolution limited, but their bodies also contain impure energy that is unfavorable to us.

If you want to eat a lot, I'd better help you refine those unfavorable impure energies first; this should be beneficial to your body-refining cultivation." Shang Rui thought about it and said.

Xia Daoming's meridians were powerful, and the blood sea was a boundless blood sea, so he could naturally slowly refine away those impure energies and not let them affect his foundation and cultivation.

However, if someone helped refine them in advance and controlled the purity of the supplements from the source, it would naturally be the best.

"If so, it would naturally be of great benefit to me. But will this make you too tired, Sister?" Xia Daoming asked.

"It's just helping you refine impurities in advance, not refining them into spirit pills, so it's not tiring." Shang Rui waved her hand.

"Then I'll trouble you, Sister." Xia Daoming nodded and did not stand on ceremony with Shang Rui.

The days that followed.

Shang Rui helped process the demonic beast meat.

Xia Daoming was responsible for eating.

It was just that after the demonic beasts were processed by Shang Rui, the taste was truly indescribable.

However, in order to fill the blood sea with blood-Qi as soon as possible, Xia Daoming had to force himself to eat as much as possible.

Xia Daoming ate demonic beast meat and spirit rice every day, refining them into blood-Qi to fill the blood sea.

In the blink of an eye, a month passed.

He actually ate a whole dragon fish and an Ice-Flame Sea Python, as well as over ten thousand catties of spirit rice.

On this day, Xia Daoming finally felt that the blood waves in the blood sea were surging, and continuing to eat demonic beasts and spirit rice had slow progress.

Xia Daoming knew that next, he could slow down the crazy supplementation and instead practice diligently every day, constantly circulating the blood-Qi in the blood sea through his meridians, refining the blood-Qi to be more pure and improving its quality.

Seeing that Xia Daoming finally stopped eating crazily, Shang Rui and the others inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.

It was really that these days, they were scared by Xia Daoming's crazy eating.

Such a huge amount of food, and the energy contained within it, just thinking about it could make the four of them feel fearful.

They were really worried that if Xia Daoming continued to eat, he would explode and die.

Fortunately, Xia Daoming finally stopped this scary behavior.

"Since you don't need my help here anymore, I plan to take Wenyue and Ziying to the Wanluo Xianshan tomorrow, and then go to Li City." Shang Rui said to Xia Daoming.

Xia Daoming was not surprised by this, thought about it after hearing it, and said: "Let Qiaolian go with you too."

"If this concubine goes, there won't even be anyone to serve the Master at home; how can that be?" Liu Qiaolian hurriedly said after hearing this.

"After all, I am a disciple of the Profound Heaven Sect, and now I have joined under the tutelage of a Jin Dan Elder, so I have to return to the sect and cannot stay in the Vermilion Bird Residence all the time. It just so happens that you are going on a long journey, and I am returning to the sect.

You have been studying formations every day for these years, but you have always lacked opportunities for specific practical operation. On this trip, when Sister Rui and the others go to Wanluo Xianshan, you can just take the Lu family's mountain-protecting formation to study, and then borrow Jin Guifeng to practice in the field and set up some formations." Xia Daoming said.

Liu Qiaolian was greatly moved after hearing this.

In these years, not only had her cultivation progressed rapidly, but her attainments in formations had also progressed rapidly.

It was just that she had never had the opportunity to practice, and she did not know what level she had reached.

If she could take the Lu family's mountain-protecting formation to study in the field and set up some formations in the field, it would naturally be the best.

"It's just that the mountain-protecting formation is related to the survival and safety of the Lu family; if this concubine goes to toss it about, will it..." Liu Qiaolian soon became somewhat worried and uneasy.

"The Lu family's formation can even be broken by Foundation Establishment cultivators; it doesn't count for anything at all. You can toss it however you want." Xia Daoming laughed and interrupted before Liu Qiaolian could finish speaking.

Just kidding, he had already helped the Lu family cultivate a disciple with strength comparable to the Foundation Establishment middle-stage; even if the mountain-protecting formation was directly dismantled, it would not count for anything.

"That's right, that's right. The Lu family's formation doesn't count for anything; the key is to be able to help the Senior Martial Aunt-in-law." Lu Ziying hurriedly echoed.

"Since that's the case, this concubine will go on a long journey with Sister Rui and the others. If the Master has anything, you can have someone inform me, and this concubine will rush back as soon as possible." Liu Qiaolian said somewhat apologetically.

"Haha, go, go, don't worry about me. You've been staying in Changqing City every day for more than a year without a chance to go out; I estimate you've been stifled." Xia Daoming laughed.

——

Ghost River Valley.

A luxurious flying boat soared into the sky and flew toward Qingzhou.

On the flying boat, Luo Mu's expression was ugly.

For the sake of the True Dragon Blood Bead, she had been guarding the sea area outside the forbidden killing zone.

As a result, she didn't even see a shadow of Tuoba Kui.

She was unwilling to give up and stayed for many days beyond the limit, still unwilling to leave.

But Tuoba Kui still did not appear.

In the end, with no other choice, Luo Mu left the Dragon Fish Sea today.

She could not keep guarding forever.

And since Tuoba Kui had not appeared for such a long time, many people guessed that he should have already had an accident.

If he was killed by a demonic beast, then the True Dragon Blood Bead would probably have to wait many years before it reappeared.

If he was killed by a cultivator in the Dragon Fish Sea, it was estimated that the person who killed him had long since left the Dragon Fish Sea.

"Wasted over a thousand spirit stones and time in vain." Luo Mu said depressedly.

"If you can get the True Dragon Blood Bead, it is equivalent to you having already stepped half a foot into the Jin Dan Great Dao. How difficult is the Jin Dan Great Dao; how could it be so easy for you to get it! Your father suffered a lot of bitterness and experienced many hardships before finally stepping onto the Jin Dan Great Dao." Luo Qian said in a deep voice.

As a Jin Dan cultivator, he saw these things far more clearly than Luo Mu.

"By the way, Father, did you see Shao Shiyu and the others come out?" Luo Mu suddenly asked.

"I saw them; I have already punished Shao Shiyu to face the wall in the Black Wind Cave for half a year." Luo Qian said.

"Then what about Mo Yongzhi, Wan Yan, and that Xia Daoming?" Luo Mu asked with a slight frown.

"After all, it's not a big deal, and you are seeking opportunities for yourself, not a sect mission. It's enough for me to punish Shao Shiyu; what's the point of punishing the other three?" Luo Qian said.

"Mo Yongzhi and Wan Yan can be forgotten, but that Xia Daoming cannot." Luo Mu said coldly.

As a true disciple and a Foundation Establishment perfection-stage cultivator, she had never been disrespected like that by an Outer Sect Qi Refining disciple.
