I can see the blood bar and my purity is extremely high

Chapter 646 The Realm of Skill Approaching the Dao
[Ninety-fifth year]

Of the five War Venerables who successfully competed for a spot, only one broke through to the next level.

Of the remaining four, one died on the spot, and the other three were seriously injured.

Fortunately, they received timely treatment, and the human race has accumulated many related rescue methods over the years, so the basic injuries of the three seriously injured people were negligible.

With the use of some precious natural ingredients and the opportunity to recuperate for several years, there is a good chance of a full recovery.

However, it's probably hopeless to try to break through again and again like Chi Yan did.

The increased resilience of the bottlenecks after a second breakthrough is secondary.

At this level, psychological factors become the most important.

Once you've failed even once, a mental demon will form within you, and you'll subconsciously develop a fear of breaking through.

Even the slightest bit can be fatal during the breakthrough process.

Xiao Bao was slightly thrilled to have drawn a guaranteed card out of five, but at the same time, he was also struck by the saying that on the path of cultivation, every success is built on the bones of countless others.

Even with the blessing of the Heavenly Dao, reaching that highest realm is not so easy.
What it considers a bottleneck that can be overcome as easily as eating and drinking is an insurmountable barrier for normal cultivators.

As for those techniques, supernatural abilities, and spells that it can master with just a glance, and even innovate upon and apply to other situations, normal cultivators would need to put in tremendous effort to master them freely.

Perhaps the Warrior system needs some slight modifications?
Xiao Bao often thinks about this question.

Compared to cultivators who take thousands of years to reach this level, martial warriors can break through quickly as long as they have enough comprehension and talent.

It's just like eating and drinking.

This is also a characteristic of demonic arts.

It doesn't rely on talent, and there are no bottlenecks.

Furthermore, since there is no such thing as heavenly tribulation on the ancient continent, it was like a fish in water.

However, such rapid breakthroughs also bring significant drawbacks.

The foundation is shallow.

It's not that the foundation is unstable, but that the foundation is shallow.

Speedrun, unorthodox speedrun, complete collection completion, and complete achievement completion are all ways to complete the game.

The result is the same, but the journey is vastly different.

For prodigies like Xiao Bao, Mao Mao, and Lu Wenwu, speedrunning has almost no impact. With just a little effort, their accumulated knowledge will reach a level that ordinary cultivators can only dream of.

However, most of the warriors with martial marks on the ancient continent could not do that.

They don't have that talent.

The rapid advancement to the peak of the Battle Venerable realm significantly reduces the possibility of breaking through to the God Realm.

So, should the Warrior system be modified?

Xiao Bao struggled with this for almost half a year.

Then, it chose to keep it as it was.

First, solve the problem of whether it exists; then consider optimization later.

If the plan goes smoothly, and the human race successfully becomes the overlord of the ancient continent, the number of ferocious beasts in this world will be greatly reduced.

When hunting monsters for cultivation becomes unavailable to all cultivators, the time required to reach the peak of the Battle Venerable realm will be significantly extended, thus weeding out some who force their way up through slaughter.

By then, the warriors who have fully experienced the scenery of each realm will likely have a much higher success rate in breaking through to the God Realm.

So now.
Martial Arts Tournament, commence!
Xiao Bao estimated the increase in the number of high-level human cultivators and decided to set the Martial Arts Tournament to be held every five years.

Five cultivators are selected and awarded places in each session.

At the same time, the martial arts tournament no longer uses fighting ability as the sole criterion for evaluation. Instead, it incorporates various other elements to assess a Battle Master's accumulation and foundation from multiple dimensions.

Ultimately, Xiao Bao reviews and makes the final decision on who will be the "winner" and become the seed for ascension to godhood.

[The First Hundred Years]

It seems that Xiao Bao's improved martial arts tournament has been very effective.

Of the five candidates who were destined for godhood in the previous competition, two of them successfully broke through.

Now, including Lu Wenwu, Mao Mao, and Xiao Bao, the human race has as many as seven people with the power to fight at the God Realm.

If this were a hundred years ago, this power would have been enough to crush any race or force on the Central Continent.

However, it's not quite up to par these days.

Twenty-seven years have passed since Xiao Bao and his companions slew ten Divine Realm experts.

The landscape of the central continent has undergone a dramatic transformation.

The entire continent was forcibly divided into three parts, presenting an eerie peace and balance.

The human race, which connects the west and south, has managed to occupy one-third of the entire continent by virtue of its racial heritage and formations, and currently has seven Divine Realm experts.

Many first-rate and second-rate races, disliked by the Dragon God Alliance, banded together to form an alliance located in the center of the continent, occupying about a quarter of the total area. They were known as the Hundred Races Alliance and possessed fifteen Divine Realm experts.

The remaining area was occupied by the Dragon God Alliance, which gathered most of the top races on the Central Continent, plus many top-tier races, and had twenty-eight God Realm experts!

Apart from the scattered small beast groups on the central continent, which don't even have a Beast King, the weakest races are all second-rate.

That is, it must have at least one leader at the level of a Great Beast King.

Those smaller clans have either been wiped out, or they managed to bribe some reputable beast kings and fled to the Northern Continent, or they have become subordinate races of the larger clans and assimilated into them.

Over the past twenty-seven years, all the divine realms that did not participate in the alliance have been annihilated by the three parties in a tacit agreement, turning them into resources to strengthen themselves.

If you don't take sides, you'll die.

The current environment does not allow for opportunistic behavior.

It is precisely during these nearly thirty years that the three parties have constantly clashed and fought, resulting in the current tripartite division of the world.

It's just that this situation seems very strange because of the human race's bizarre actions.

The current situation is the result of a combination of factors.

The human race is recuperating and accumulating population; they are not keen on fighting.

The Hundred Races Alliance, which banded together for mutual support, tried to attack the Human Race, but they couldn't win and couldn't integrate into the Dragon God Alliance, so they could only stay in the middle in a stalemate.

On the other side, the leader of the Dragon God Alliance is a human dragon who has always been a staunch dove.

Meanwhile, the other divine realms were also worried that the mysterious powerhouse (Lu Wenwu) who had not yet appeared might have some heaven-defying ability or trump card, so they dared not act rashly and prepared to act according to circumstances.

The Hundred Clans Alliance is a natural buffer zone.

As soon as the human race shows any sign of taking action, the Dragon God Alliance will immediately mobilize all its forces to help.

But before that
First hold still.

After all, nobody wants to be the stubborn kid who tries to stroke a human's beard; that would almost certainly mean certain death.

Who would want to die if they could cultivate to this level?

This stalemate lasted for many years.

[105th year]

One of the seeded gods successfully broke through, bringing the number of human gods to eight.

[110th Year] In these five years, the human race seems to have had great luck, as three gods have been born!
Qinglin, who had received many special meals from Mao Mao, also obtained a spot and successfully stepped into the Divine Realm.

This brought the number of human gods to twelve!
Even without the numerous nested formations of varying sizes along the border, the human race's strength is now enough to stand against the Hundred Races Alliance, thanks to the Six Arts of Immortal Cultivation that they have learned and developed over a hundred years, coupled with the formidable nature of the Martial Warriors themselves!
If Xiao Bao were to personally lead the human race's divine realm to wage a divine war against the Hundred Races Alliance, there would be a greater than 50% chance of killing all fourteen of the opposing divine realm beings!

If it's simply a matter of winning against your opponent, regardless of life or death, the probability of victory is over 90%!

After years of rest and recuperation, the various legions of the human race, having experienced a surge in combat power from War Venerables to War Emperors, are already impatient and want to restart the racial war once again.

Xiao Bao was originally prepared to agree immediately.

But the night before it made its decision, the fluctuations emanating from the secluded retreat area of ​​the Crimson Sky Holy City made it immediately abandon the idea.

The following day, Xiao Bao convened a meeting of many powerful members of the human race and presented a strategic plan that was so bold that even the radicals thought it was too radical.

Faced with the somewhat dumbfounded crowd, it didn't explain much, only saying one sentence—the Martial Ancestor is about to emerge from seclusion.

The human warriors' breathing immediately became heavy, and with ruddy faces, they began to prepare for the war according to plan, transporting countless war resources to the front lines.

The war machine known as the Human race has once again begun operating at full power.
Do not!
It's operating at overpowered speed!

[Year 111]

On an ordinary day, the chanting of the Great Dao resounded throughout the human realm.

Countless Daoist principles manifested in the sky, and billions of celestial flowers grew out of thin air.

The concentration of spiritual energy throughout the entire human territory soared dramatically, and the flame of human civilization surged!
Almost all human cultivators felt something at the same time.

They put down their work, sat cross-legged, and faced the sky, one after another entering a state of enlightenment that even geniuses could only dream of!
This is a true celebration for all.

When one person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven!

This is not just empty talk.

Right now, this phrase has truly manifested itself on the ancient continent, bringing a blessing of a sudden increase in cultivation level to the human race.

All five newly selected candidates for godhood have gained some insights.

Problems that were previously incomprehensible suddenly became clear, and the previously heavy and tough bottlenecks shattered on the spot, causing a surge in internal energy!

There was almost no danger, and the breakthrough was achieved effortlessly.

Even after the breakthrough, they remained in a state of enlightenment, uninterrupted.

Five new divine beings have been born!

The number of human beings with divine-level combat power has increased to a total of seventeen!

But that doesn't matter anymore.

Because the Dragon Mansion Small World has finally completed its transformation from the mortal realm to the immortal realm, becoming a realm capable of bearing the Great Dao and being eternally immortal!

This small world, which Lu Wenwu possessed when he was still a mortal, and even when he had just embarked on the path of cultivation, has finally grown to stand at the pinnacle of the trillion-world system in the boundless chaotic sea.

This is a transformation from "mortal" to "immortal".

It is the beginning of eternity and immortality.

It is the origin of a great path!

Lu Wenwu's purity, which had not improved for a long time, also increased to nine hundred and ninety-nine the moment the Dragon Mansion Small World was promoted to the Dragon Mansion Immortal Realm!

Completely perfect!

At the very moment when his purity reached its peak and he reached the limit before attaining enlightenment, countless insights surged and rose within his heart.

The experiences of the past hundred years on the desolate ancient continent have all been transformed into resources, colliding and stirring in my mind, bursting forth with an even more brilliant light!
Lu Wenwu suddenly understood.

He stretched out his hand, and with a mere thought, thousands of auspicious rays gathered towards him.

The rules and the world around him were distorted, and cognition and established principles were completely altered.

In the blink of an eye, a steaming, fragrant egg pancake appeared in his hand.

At this moment, Lu Wenwu finally understood what a concept truly was in his area of ​​expertise.

A leaf before the eyes obscures Mount Tai.

It wasn't until this point that he belatedly realized that he had already understood what the "pseudo-concepts" that pseudo-immortals could grasp were.

This ability has always been with him.

He just never thought of using it.

The Art of Making Egg Pancakes!
Lu Wenwu opened his personal panel, which he hadn't looked at for a long time.

The origin of the Tao!

The skill has reached a level that is almost beyond the realm of Tao!

Lu Wenwu finally obtained the ultimate goal after many years of pursuit.

What is Tao?
The beginning of the nameless heaven and earth, the name of the mother of all things.

Therefore, one should always be without desire to observe its subtlety, and always have desire to observe its manifestations.

These two originate from the same source but have different names; both are called Xuan (玄).

Mysterious and mystical, the door to all wonders.

I do not know its name, so I call it the Way.

The Dao is an abstract concept.

Three thousand avenues.

Integrate those numerous concrete concepts and merge them into one place.

This is the Way.

After emerging from seclusion, Lu Wenwu felt the immense power surging within him, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.

It's as if with a mere gesture, one could tear apart heaven and earth, and roam the boundless chaotic sea in their physical body without being disturbed.

This is a kind of inner confidence that comes from increased strength.

The improved purity and the enlightenment he gained in the art of making egg pancakes have made him feel better than ever before.

So how should we celebrate?

Xiao Bao, whom I haven't seen in a long time, has sent me a war plan.

Mao Mao had been wagging its tail and waiting in front of the secluded place for a long time.

So now
That's the moment of slaughter!
