Chapter 150 : Breaking into the Profound Realm, the Yang Spirit Emerges
Chapter 150: Breaking into the Profound Realm, the Yang Spirit Emerges
“So that means, if one possesses the Ascension Pill, wouldn’t breaking into the Divine Realm be inevitable!”
Sensing the aura emanating from Yu Taiyan, discussions instantly erupted.
“In Great Yu, there have only been a handful of Divine Realm experts in hundreds of years. If it were in the Central Region, wouldn’t Divine Realm experts be everywhere?”
As if realizing something, many people’s eyes shone with brilliance.
As long as the barrier of the Immortal God Forbidden Zone was broken, all of them would have a chance to step into the Divine Realm.
To become so-called guardians of national fate, ruling over a region.
Such temptation was irresistible.
After all, once one entered the Divine Realm, they could live at least three hundred years. With life-extending medicine, four to five hundred years was possible.
“I believe you have all witnessed the effects of the Ascension Pill and the Profound-Breaking Pill!”
Yu Taiyan’s voice grew more imposing, his aura suppressing the entire field.
Even among the Profound Realm Grandmasters on the platform, few could contend with him.
The unity of essence, qi, and spirit—his control and utilization of power had already surpassed the Profound Realm.
This was likely why the Central Region referred to this state as Half-Step Divine Realm.
Ordinary Profound Realm experts, even at perfection, could not compete with it.
Perhaps only unparalleled geniuses like the Sword God and Sword Saint could resist.
“With the agreement of the five supreme Divine Realm experts, and the general map provided by the Central Region expert Luo Xuan—”
“I will dispatch the army, the Demon Suppression Division, the major sects, and the experts of each province to attack the Immortal God Forbidden Zone!”
“I swear to open a path from Great Yu to the Central Region!”
Yu Taiyan’s voice echoed before the imperial palace.
“All who wish to participate may go.”
“Once the path is opened, all of you will have the hope of becoming Divine Realm experts.”
“This battle allows victory only—defeat is not permitted. We depart immediately!”
At these words, light burst forth in everyone’s eyes.
With a Divine Realm expert providing a map, the entire Great Yu backing the effort, and all major sects participating—
There might truly be a chance to break through the Immortal God Forbidden Zone and carve out a safe path.
“Wise is Your Majesty!”
“Wise are the supreme Divine Realm experts!”
In an instant, countless voices rang out in waves.
With the approval of Divine Realm experts, no one objected.
For themselves and for future generations, this battle had to be fought.
Feeling the fervent atmosphere, Yu Taiyan smiled slightly. His gaze swept across the crowd and landed directly on Li Yunqing.
“This damned emperor… still hasn’t given up.”
Sensing that meaningful gaze, Li Yunqing frowned slightly, instantly understanding.
The campaign against the Immortal God Forbidden Zone had become inevitable.
With Divine Realm experts leading it, almost everyone would participate.
After all, no one wanted to risk their lives on the frontlines while others reaped the benefits behind them.
Once it began, all powerful figures would have to go—including the Sword God and Sword Saint.
This was the trend of the times.
Once they left, no one would protect her—and she would naturally become the emperor’s target.
“Half-Step Divine Realm…”
“I wonder if it can be killed?”
Thoughts surged in Li Yunqing’s mind.
But thinking of her imminent breakthrough into the Profound Realm, and the soon-to-be-formed Yang Spirit, she suddenly felt no fear.
“Let’s go back.”
Li Yunqing spoke, linking arms with Xiaolan as she walked away.
If that emperor dared to come, she would dare to kill.
With her current accumulation, if she could still be taken by force, she might as well smash her head against a wall.
“Miss, there’s someone ahead!”
After walking a short distance, Xiaolan tugged lightly at her sleeve.
Lost in thought, Li Yunqing looked up.
Before her stood a young general holding a long spear.
Clad in white robes, armor gleaming—it was Xiang Changfeng, son of the Overlord Spear.
He stood squarely in the middle of the road, imposing and heroic, drawing flirtatious glances from countless young women.
Yet he paid them no attention, chin raised, standing straight.
“Striking a pose to look cool?”
“Healed so quickly?”
Seeing him, Li Yunqing raised her hand without hesitation and flicked her sleeve.
Seeing her movement, Xiang Changfeng immediately dropped his pose and raised his hand in alarm:
“I’m not here to fight today—”
“Boom!”
Before he could finish, he was sent flying, crashing into a courtyard wall and getting buried in rubble.
“…Huh?”
“Changed personality? Not here to fight, then why block the road?”
“Why didn’t you say so earlier? What’s your mouth for?”
Li Yunqing paused, then simply pretended she hadn’t heard and continued walking with Xiaolan.
She had already struck him—this wasn’t the first time.
She was almost getting used to it.
Not far away, the disciples of various sects who had intended to approach all stopped in their tracks.
Cold sweat trickled down their foreheads.
“Wasn’t she supposed to be gentle and charming?”
“She didn’t even let him finish speaking before sending him flying?”
“What kind of temper is that?!”
They silently turned away, pretending not to see.
Inside, however, their thoughts churned.
So gentle and tender in appearance—who would have thought she’d strike without a word?
Better to avoid provoking such a woman.
After all, if they couldn’t beat her and angered her, they’d be the ones getting beaten.
Li Yunqing paid them no attention.
Since the Great General’s residence had healed Xiang Changfeng so quickly, he probably wouldn’t die this time either.
With that thought, she soon returned to the Shang Residence.
“Xiaolan, go to the Martial Hall tomorrow and say I’m entering seclusion—I won’t be going for now.”
As she spoke, Li Yunqing walked into her room.
Since departure was imminent, people would be leaving in the next few days. Once the Sword God left, there was no need for her to go to the Martial Hall anymore.
Knowing the emperor’s intentions, even with confidence, she refused to waste time.
The sooner she broke through, the better.
“Let’s begin.”
After arranging everything, Li Yunqing sat cross-legged on her bed. With a thought, she immersed herself into the Pure Yin Dao surrounding her.
“Buzz!”
Her consciousness trembled, like a beam of light, wandering through heaven and earth with the Pure Yin Dao.
At times merging with vegetation, sensing its endless vitality.
At times merging with the earth, listening to its mysteries.
Insights flooded in endlessly.
Immersed in cultivation, time passed swiftly.
Two days later, at dawn.
The rising sun released boundless purple qi, streaming through the window and enveloping Li Yunqing.
At that moment, her consciousness returned, carrying endless comprehension.
“Pure Yin True Intent: Major Completion → Perfect Completion.”
“Yin Spirit: Major Completion → Perfect Completion.”
In that instant, Li Yunqing felt a profound change.
Wind and thunder, life and death, growth of all things, five elements, frost… all True Intents reached completion, merging into one.
They manifested the myriad phenomena of heaven and earth—spring, summer, autumn, winter, growth, cycles, life, and death.
This was Perfect Completion Pure Yin True Intent.
With that completion, she faintly sensed a mysterious gate.
It seemed to exist within her body, yet also beyond it.
Inside the gate was her essence, qi, and spirit—her very life source.
Outside lay the vast universe.
Breaking this gate would reveal the mysteries of heaven and earth.
“This is the Mysterious Gate…”
“Neither within the body nor in the world, yet between both—truly mysterious.”
At this moment, she understood.
The Mysterious Gate was both a shackle and a protection.
Without sufficient strength, breaking it would cause life to flow away, dissipating into the world.
But with enough strength, breaking it meant transformation and rebirth.
She suddenly recalled a saying from her previous life:
If an egg is broken from the outside, it becomes food. If broken from within, it becomes life.
It mirrored this concept perfectly.
“I see.”
“Buzz!”
With that realization, her Pure Yin True Intent surged, and Immortal-Martial Power roared.
In an instant, it became a terrifying force crashing toward the Mysterious Gate.
“Boom!”
Like the creation of heaven and earth, a thunderous roar echoed in her mind.
The gate shattered.
Her True Intent and Immortal-Martial Power surged into the world.
In return, the power of heaven and earth poured into her like rain after drought.
Her body and spirit were silently transformed.
Her dantian, Sea of Consciousness, and Tanzhong Acupoint all began to evolve.
It was as if a new world was forming within her.
Mountains, rivers, oceans, vegetation, seasons—life and death cycles.
Yet each place differed.
Her dantian was frozen, lifeless—Pure Yin at its extreme.
Her Sea of Consciousness was vibrant, full of life and change.
Her Tanzhong Acupoint remained still, like a frozen painting.
Only the lake of Immortal-Martial Power grew denser, glowing like divine nectar.
“So this is the transformation brought by the momentum of heaven and earth…”
Li Yunqing murmured.
If True Intent was the abstract concept, then momentum was its tangible manifestation.
Water intent was the idea of flowing tides.
Water momentum was the river or ocean itself.
“This is the Profound Realm.”
“The current me… could suppress my past self with a single finger.”
Opening her eyes, she raised her hand.
In her palm, Immortal-Martial Power and Pure Yin momentum intertwined like moonlight.
Within it were mountains, rivers, fire, wind, thunder, and seasons—like a miniature world.
This was Pure Yin momentum.
And with it, she had stepped into the Profound Realm Grandmaster.
As for her combat strength—she estimated herself invincible within the Profound Realm, and undefeated against the Divine Realm.
Even the Sword God and Sword Saint might not be able to harm her—she might even suppress them.
Of course, that was only her conservative estimate.
“Wait… what about the Yang Spirit?”
As she spoke, lines of text flashed before her eyes.
“Pure Yin True Intent → Pure Yin Momentum.”
“Pure Yin Momentum: Initiated (1%)”
“Yin Spirit → Yang Spirit.”
“Yang Spirit: Initiated (1%)”
