Thinking about breaking through to the Myriad Phenomena Realm gave Han Li a headache, as it required a substantial amount of cultivation.

Logically speaking, his All-Purpose Martial Dao True Meaning had been perfected to 99.9%, just a hair’s breadth from reaching 100% and breaking through to the Myriad Phenomena Realm to become a Grand Grandmaster.

But in reality, it wasn’t so simple. Despite being only 0.1% away, that final step was incredibly difficult, representing a significant threshold. (For more details, refer to Pinduoduo—if we’re brothers, chop it down for me!)

Peak masters at the Hollow Void Stage with a fifth-grade aptitude often get stuck on this last step, unable to perfect their Martial Dao True Meaning.

Every peak grandmaster would spend a lot of time on this step, with the level of aptitude and fortunes influencing the duration spent.

Under normal circumstances, without any special opportunities, it would typically take a grandmaster with fifth-grade aptitude about one hundred fifty years to advance to the Myriad Phenomena Realm.

This refers to grandmasters comprehending ordinary Martial Dao True Meanings. Generally, the stronger the Martial Dao True Meaning they are trying to comprehend, the more time it will take.

Han Li’s All-Purpose Martial Dao was an ultimate martial art. Although it was merely the first stage of perfecting the Martial Dao True Meaning, its difficulty was comparable to the final step of perfecting a strong Martial Dao True Meaning.

Simply put, for Han Li to quickly advance to the Myriad Phenomena Realm, he needed to expend two hundred twenty years’ worth of cultivation. Only then could he achieve it in one go and break through directly.

So far, he had only accumulated sixty-three years of cultivation and was still about one hundred sixty years short of breaking through to the Myriad Phenomena Realm and becoming a Grand Grandmaster.

“I’ll wait a bit longer,”

Han Li murmured to himself; his speed of cultivation could be described as incredibly fast.

If his economical master, Gongsun Yun, knew about this, he would surely be astounded—as it hadn’t even been ten years since his breakthrough to the God Refining Realm.

In just a few years, he had cultivated from the first tier of the God Refining Realm to the ninth peak tier of the Hollow Void Stage—an alarming rate of progress that would scare anyone.

Thinking of Gongsun Yun, Han Li had a complex expression. The Sect Leader of Tianxuan Mountain indeed provided him with substantial help, bestowing many valuable treasures upon accepting him as a disciple.

Han Li was fully aware of Gongsun Yun’s intentions; whether he could repay that favor depended on whether he had the ability to do so.

Two days later, the last concubine that Han Li had taken in the previous year also gave birth to an heir with eighth-grade aptitude, whom he named Han Yongfang.

Han Li’s foundation deepened by another notch.

Dingyuan Manor, Underground World.

Lu Tianxiang sat cross-legged a kilometer away from the nine-colored light screen, propping her chin with one hand and looking somewhat listless.

She had been trapped here for half a year, unable to get out, which troubled her a great deal.

“Senior, am I really able to break this formation?” Lu Tianxiang called out weakly.

Half a year ago, she had made an agreement with an entity trapped within the Emperor Formation. That being revealed important information, stating that someone had once obtained an incredible Pill Formula from him.

The Rebirth Pill, if successfully refined, required only one dose to raise a person’s aptitude by one grade. Although the highest it could go was fifth grade, it was truly invaluable.

For Lu Tianxiang, this Pill Formula was indeed very important. It might not be of much use for her personally, but if she offered it to the powers behind her, she would undoubtedly be richly rewarded, fulfilling many of her demands.

However, that entity was somewhat sly and declined to disclose the detailed content of the Pill Formula, only providing the information on the person who had taken the formula and leaving her to pursue it on her own once she got out.

In Lu Tianxiang’s view, this was not sufficiently sincere, but she was powerless to do anything if the entity refused to divulge it. She also knew that the being was guarding against her, and she herself harbored ulterior motives.

If she really knew the content of the Pill Formula, Lu Tianxiang would continue to demand benefits until she could extract no more, after which she would simply leave and never return.

The being sealed within the Emperor Formation was very likely a Great Emperor, with strength far surpassing hers. Lu Tianxiang did not dare to release him, and indeed, she lacked the ability to do so.

If it turned out that a malevolent Great Emperor was sealed inside the Emperor Formation, its release would be no joking matter. The entire Qianyuan Divine Province would be destroyed in an instant, and even she would perish.

Over the past six months, she had been intentionally dragging her feet, refusing to quickly break the formation to get out, and striking daily poses, all because she wanted to gain some extra benefits from this being’s presence.

The existence sealed within the Emperor Formation was of such a high standing that even a casual hint from it was a great opportunity for Lu Tianxiang.

“This formation is merely meant to conceal movements and isn’t connected to the Emperor Formation. It’s just a mere Third Grade auxiliary formation; with your strength, you could have broken it long ago,”

a deep and ancient voice sounded, tinged with a trace of dissatisfaction.

“Senior, a Third Grade formation is meant to counter those in the True Martial Realm, and I am only at the early stage of the Myriad Phenomena Realm; how could I break it? Why don’t you send me out directly?” Lu Tianxiang pleaded with feigned grievance and then probed further.

Although it was a Third Grade formation, the years had taken their toll, and it was neither a killing formation nor a trapping formation; she could break it with some tricks up her sleeve.

She wanted more benefits, which was why she was reluctant to leave, and she also wanted to know whether this being’s previous words were true or false.

“Heh~” a cold laugh emanated from the nine-colored light screen.

The towering figure looking at Lu Tianxiang outside the light screen really wished he could slap her to death; one truly cannot trust this person.

He had long detected that Lu Tianxiang was like a cunning little fox, and that was exactly why he hadn’t revealed the contents of the Pill Formula; if he had, the little fox might take an inch and ask for a mile or take the Pill Formula and run away.

He needed Lu Tianxiang to spread the news that there were countless opportunities and treasures here to the forces behind her, luring those in the True Martial Realm and even the Divine Yuan Realm here.

The greater the commotion, the more powerhouses would be attracted, and when they all attacked the formation light screen together, they might not break it but could drain some of its power; then, with his full strength from within, he might be able to break the formation.

But this little fox only cared about receiving benefits and had no intention of doing any work for him; naturally, he could not agree.

After pondering for a moment, the Great Emperor said, “When I led you in, the bit of strength I used was already exhausted, I truly cannot send you out.”

“You’ll see my sincerity once you have the Pill Formula. If you are willing to come back, I will teach you the following parts of the cultivation technique you practice, and give you another significant benefit.”

“Is that true?” Lu Tianxiang’s pupils constricted sharply; she had waited so long, and now she had finally heard of a new benefit.

“True.”

Within the nine-colored light screen, in a place Lu Tianxiang couldn’t see, the Great Emperor had an indifferent expression but a hint of a smile in his eyes; the fish had finally taken the bait.

As long as Lu Tianxiang came back, he would continue to tempt her with the prospect of fortune, dulling her vigilance. Once she had a taste of the enormous opportunities available, her greed would continue to grow, eventually being used by him.

Upon receiving an affirmative response, Lu Tianxiang’s expression fluctuated, feeling an intense allure from the promised benefits.

She had no desire to return or to interact with this being any longer, but the rewards offered were too substantial to ignore.

Her incomplete cultivation technique was of the Lower Grade Heaven Rank; the complete version would be at least of the Divine Rank and might even be an Immortal Scripture. If there was a chance, she would definitely want to obtain it.

“Sigh!”

Lu Tianxiang heaved a sigh within her heart and took a deep look at the nine-colored light screen, took out a talisman, and used it immediately.

The talisman unleashed a terrifying power, breaking through the formation, and Lu Tianxiang’s figure disappeared from view.

Whether she would return or not, securing the Pill Formula for the Rebirth Pill first before deciding was not too late.

Lu Tianxiang emerged in the outside world, intending to use her techniques to conceal this place but then thought better of it and returned directly to Qingyun Manor.

She had just returned to the Er Sea of Cang Mountain and hadn’t even had the chance to catch her breath when she suddenly looked towards Jizhou, her expression turning to one of shock.

In Jizhou, a great battle was currently erupting, and it was a battle of the Myriad Phenomena Realm level.
