This martial saint's health bar is too thick

Chapter 610 Slay the Tower, No One to Compete
Outside the Heavenly Tower.

Zhu Fenghua and the other disciples and guests of Tianyi Tower all stared intently at Tianyi Tower ahead.

Through the window, you can faintly see white light coming from inside.

They knew that this brilliance was due to the murals inside being concealed.

Although they couldn't go inside to see how Li Fei and Ning Qingman 'broke the spell,' they could judge the situation of the two people climbing the building by observing when the light from the murals went out.

As soon as the two entered, the light on the first floor went out.

How long has it been? Less than ten seconds?

"So fast?"

"Was it that sword immortal who made the move?"

Most people believed that Ning Qingman had intervened to 'break the spell,' which was why she succeeded so quickly.

Zhu Fenghua stared at the tightly closed door, remaining silent.

He had heard from his senior brother that the "Sword Immortal" Ning Qingman had secretly visited Tianyi Tower more than 30 years ago, climbed all nine floors in one go, and had a sword debate with their master.

This matter has been kept secret, so the outside world is unaware of it.

Only a few of their direct disciples knew about this within the entire Tianyi Tower.

Since Ning Qingman had already ascended to the ninth floor many years ago, her master must have instructed her to go directly to the ninth floor this time.

Therefore, the person who is 'breaking the law' inside at this moment should be Li Fei.

"How long did it take me to defeat the clone on the first floor?"

Zhu Fenghua recalled her past experiences climbing the tower.

After becoming a Breaking Body stage martial artist, he began to attempt to climb the tower and break the spell, and it took him more than three months to successfully defeat the clone on the first floor.

Of course, he was not comparable to him back then.

If it were Zhu Fenghua now, she would be confident of defeating the clone within three moves.

But its speed was still not as fast as Li Fei's at this moment.

"So, he only used one move?"

Zhu Fenghua pursed her lips.

He has never had any desire to compare himself with others.

Until that day, his master suddenly ordered him to go to the Tomb of Tianshui.

At first, he thought his master wanted him to fight Li Fei and have a match.

Later I learned that my master had sent him to seek defeat.
Although he ultimately did not lose to Li Fei, he was forced to break through his cultivation level by the martial arts master Youming.

But against the same opponent, he was no match for Youming, while Li Fei crossed the border and killed Youming in the Tomb of Tianshui!
The two no longer need to fight; the outcome is already obvious.

From that day on, Zhu Fenghua silently set up a rival in her heart.

He wanted to wait until Li Fei broke through to the next level before having a chance to fight him.

结果
Li Fei broke through to a higher realm and blocked Qi Ming's attack in front of the whole world!
In the great war against the Northern Barbarians, several Northern Barbarian martial arts masters were killed.

In the battle at Baifeng Plain, he even reversed the situation and killed a Grandmaster while only being a Martial Arts Master!
Looking at this series of achievements alone, Zhu Fenghua knew that there was no need for her to fight Li Fei anymore.

To this day, he is only fifth on the Earth Ranking, while Li Fei has already reached the Pinnacle Ranking.

In his mind, Li Fei had transformed from an opponent he wanted to defeat into a target that was difficult to catch up with.

Since she had fallen far behind in strength, Zhu Fenghua wanted to make sure she didn't fall too far behind in terms of technique and the mastery of the unity of magic and martial arts.

He stood outside the tower, wanting to compare his own skill level with Li Fei's speed in breaking the spell as he ascended the tower.

Inside the Heavenly Tower.

The clone vanished in a flash of light, and the radiance on the surrounding murals also disappeared. Li Fei could now browse the contents of these murals.

That was his biggest purpose for this trip.

He casually glanced at one of the murals, which had both text and pictures on it.

Upon first seeing the mural, his heart was stirred, as if a dream of iron horses and icy rivers had entered his mind.

Those words and pictures seemed to transform into swords, fists, and moves, flooding into his consciousness in an extremely vivid way.

Li Fei finally understood why, despite the many people in the martial arts world who had climbed the Heavenly Tower and returned unscathed over the years, Lin Tianyi's cultivation methods within the Heavenly Tower had hardly circulated in the martial arts world.

Fear of Lin Tianyi was only one aspect.

Most importantly, the most crucial and essential aspects of these cultivation methods can only be understood intuitively and cannot be explained in words.

Even if someone dares to secretly spread the cultivation methods inside the Heavenly Tower, if the written content is given to others to practice, they will ultimately not be able to learn anything, and may even cause problems!
Li Fei scanned one mural after another at an extremely fast pace.

All fifty murals on the left side are related to martial arts.

All fifty murals on the right side are related to magic.

The cultivation method on the first floor does not directly mention anything related to the unity of magic and martial arts.

However, if someone can comprehend all one hundred murals at the same time, even if they discover that the cultivation methods on the left and right sides are like two meshing gears, as long as they can 'turn' them, the magic and martial arts will naturally become one!

Li Fei stood still, closing his eyes in thought.

Ning Qingman stood patiently in place and waited.

She had already seen all fifty murals on the left half of the first floor back then, so she didn't need to see them again now.

So she was looking at Li Fei.

It was probably only at times like this that she could stare at the other person so unabashedly.

"We're both still young. You're not even thirty yet, and I'm almost a hundred. Can you really call that young?"

Ning Qingman thought with a hint of resentment.

"You were born before I was born, and I was born before you grew old."

Li Fei told her this poem on the way here.

For a martial saint with a lifespan of three hundred years, being less than one hundred years old is indeed not considered old.

But every time Ning Qingman saw Li Fei's young face, she couldn't help but think—

If I had been born a few decades later, or he had been born a few decades earlier.
But then I thought, if the two of them had lived in the same era, they probably wouldn't have had this kind of interaction.

She could probably only look up at Li Fei's back, unable to get close.

Thinking about it this way, Ning Qingman suddenly felt somewhat fortunate.

She didn't meet him when she was at her youngest.

But at least the two can still meet at the summit.

A moment later, Li Fei slowly opened his eyes and turned to look at Ning Qingman:

"Let's continue climbing the stairs."

Ning Qingman: "Have you understood it all?"

Li Fei nodded and transmitted his voice, "I've read Tianyi Tower's cultivation notes before, as well as Lin Tianyi's handwritten notes. They're concise and to the point, so it's faster."

The two sets of notes, one given by Qin Ziheng and the other by the Xiao family, were both very helpful to Li Fei's cultivation.

The two continued climbing the building.

Upon reaching the second floor, it appeared almost identical to the first floor.

The murals on the second floor were also shrouded in white light at this time, making them invisible.

An identical clone materialized out of thin air and appeared in front of the two.

"please."

Li Fei also clasped his hands in a salute first, and then stepped forward and threw a punch.

This time, there was primordial Qi flowing within his body.

He raised his power to the level of a martial artist in the early stage of Qi Transformation, and his magical power to the level of a god in the stage of Divine Transformation.

If he keeps his power suppressed at the Breaking Body stage, he is indeed confident that he can easily reach the ninth level.

But his purpose in coming to Dengtian Tower this time was not to show off his abilities or demonstrate his prowess.

His fighting style has always been to overcome skill with brute force.

With the Blood Pearl granting him immunity to damage, he can fight with impunity.

Having come this far, he has even created several moves of the Creation Realm Dao Force, so no one can say that he is 'unlearned and incompetent'.

But Li Fei himself is well aware that he has progressed too quickly and there are many areas that need polishing.

At high altitudes, he could create his own Daoist techniques at the Creation Realm.

However, at a lower level, he lacks some basic, subtle skills and insights.

For others, if their foundation is not solid, it is almost impossible to reach great heights, let alone create their own transcendent realm of Dao power.

However, Li Fei possesses the body of a flying sword and an unprecedented combination of magic and martial arts, giving him a unique advantage that allows him to defy convention.

However, he did not ignore his disadvantages because of his advantages.

The next step, reaching the summit, is the most important step in the spiritual practice.

Any instability in the foundation could affect the principles that will be formed in the future!

So Li Fei came to Dengtian Tower this time to make up for everything he had lacked in the past!

He is the number one person in the world, and the only one in the world who has successfully walked the path of combining magic and martial arts, and reached the top through the combination of magic and martial arts.

His method of cultivation is undoubtedly the best reference.

Moreover, the Heavenly Tower has nine stories, progressing from low to high and from shallow to deep, which perfectly represents increasingly profound cultivation practices.

This is absolutely perfect for Li Fei to use to rebuild his foundation!

This is also why Ning Qingman previously suggested that Li Fei must visit Tianyi Tower before breaking through to the next realm.

Now facing the clone on the second floor, Li Fei chose to raise both his strength and realm by one level.

He had planned it out in advance—

Each level you ascend increases your power and realm.

This way, Lin Tianyi's clone can fully utilize its skills and gain as much insight and understanding as possible.

boom!
Almost exactly as before, Li Fei stepped forward and threw a straight punch, then stepped half a step forward and raised his arm to block.

Both sides used magic techniques to enhance their fist intent as they made their moves.

The moment their bodies made contact, Li Fei's right fist shook off the clone's right arm. Just as it was about to be transformed into a sword and pierce the throat, just like before.

The blood and qi within the clone suddenly boiled, like gunpowder that had been ignited, and exploded with a bang!

The sudden burst of power forced the clone to take a half-step back at the last second, just in time to avoid Li Fei's fatal thrust.

Li Fei's eyes lit up, and without stopping, he quickly followed forward, his right foot wading through mud.

The right hand, having missed its target, chopped down like a battle axe. The power of the mind and the spiritual power of the technique were perfectly integrated, transforming into a mountain-splitting axe first, cleaving into the opponent's consciousness!
The clone had already surging its blood and qi, activating its innate qi in preparation for a counterattack, but its movements faltered, and Li Fei seized the opportunity to strike its chest with his right palm.

click!
His sternum broke, and his clone was thrown heavily into the air, crashing to the ground before vanishing in a flash of light.

Li Fei defeated the second clone in two moves!
He stood there, recalling the changes that had just occurred with the clone.

Although his power and realm were suppressed, his vision and perception remained. He could sense that the reason his clone's power had surged just now was because it was activated by magic.

The techniques used during the Divine Transformation stage remain at the spiritual level and cannot directly affect matter.

However, one can indirectly influence the material world by stimulating one's own or others' minds using hypnotic-like methods.

The clone just now was created by stimulating itself with magic.

However, unlike ordinary amplification spells, the clone just now seemed to instantly transfer the power belonging to the spell into physical strength.

It's like two interconnected but distinct ponds, where water from one pond is poured into the other in an instant, causing its water level to rise!

Only by achieving this level could the power of that clone suddenly surge so much.

However, since the power of the magic was converted into physical strength, the defense at the mental level was weakened, which allowed Li Fei to seize the opportunity to exploit the weakness.

Although the clone failed, the techniques it demonstrated gave Li Fei a lot of inspiration.

He possessed the body of a flying sword, making it much easier for him to convert between magical and martial arts powers than for others, so he quickly mastered the techniques.

Then he began to browse the murals on the second floor.

The number of murals on the second floor is much smaller, with forty murals on each side.

This time, Li Fei lingered longer on the forty murals representing magical techniques on the right.

He had actually thought about this issue before, but after coming to Tianyi Building, he realized it even more clearly.

His combination of magic and martial arts appears balanced, but in reality, his mastery of magic is far inferior to his mastery of martial arts.

Rather than saying he combined law and martial arts, it would be more accurate to say he used martial arts to enhance martial arts.

In Li Fei's combat system, magic has always played a supporting role.

The magical abilities [without distance] and [permanent stability] are also more supportive.

Therefore, he now needs to strengthen his foundation; his magical arts require significantly more improvement than his martial arts. After spending over thirty minutes on the second floor, Li Fei and Ning Qingman finally ascended to the third floor together.

At this moment, the crowd waiting outside the tower gradually guessed that the person who climbed the tower to break the spell should be Li Fei, not Ning Qingman.

Because that sword immortal certainly wouldn't stay on the lower floors for so long.

It's not that the cultivation methods left behind by Lin Tianyi are worthless, but rather that once someone reaches Ning Qingman's level, the principles of the Dao are already established, and some fundamental things cannot be changed even if one wants to.

Do you think Li Fei can reach the ninth floor?

"There shouldn't be any problem, he can even beat top-tier experts."

"That's hard to say. Isn't he said to have the legendary Great Dao Body? He was able to defeat a peak-level opponent because of his special physique and exceptional talent. His skills and understanding of the realm are definitely not as good as those of a peak-level opponent."

"Yes, if Li Fei is able to fight beyond his level because of his strong physique, the Lord's clone can completely simulate a physique as strong as his, so Li Fei will have no advantage at all."

"Hey, what do you think would happen if this Duke was left on a certain floor and couldn't break the spell?"

"If he is kept in Tianyi Tower indefinitely, won't the Great Blue Dynasty collapse immediately?"

The course of history is about to change!

"That would be interesting."

"."

The crowd started discussing it amongst themselves.

Many people, eager for a good show, were curious to see which floor Li Fei was trapped on.

On the third floor, Li Fei raised his cultivation to the late stage of Qi Transformation and the late stage of Divine Transformation.

Defeat the clone in five moves.

On the fourth floor, his cultivation level was raised to the second tier, the Foundation Stage and the Possession Stage.

It took Li Fei nearly a hundred moves to defeat the clone.

On the fifth floor, his cultivation level rose to the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage and the peak of the Possession stage.

The two fought for nearly an hour, exchanging nearly a thousand blows, before Li Fei finally won with great difficulty.

On the sixth floor, those whose cultivation has reached the level of Martial Arts Master or True Person will each possess a unique supernatural power.

Li Fei fought his clone for over a thousand moves, ultimately winning by a narrow margin.

Outside the tower, the sky had already changed from dawn to dusk.

The crowd downstairs remained waiting, hoping for a result.

After the glow on the sixth floor faded, some people were already laughing:

"I thought he could make it to the ninth floor in one go, but it seems unlikely."

To defeat a peak expert without even reaching the peak level, and to break through the first level of the technique so quickly just now.

Many people thought that Li Fei would make a great leap forward and sweep all the way to the ninth floor!

As a result, winning became incredibly difficult starting from the fifth floor.

Although he broke through six floors in one go, this achievement was already more impressive than all the martial arts practitioners who had ever tried to climb the tower before.

But after all, that's Li Fei.

In fact, the matter of ascending to the Heavenly Tower has long been settled internally within Tianyi Tower over the years—

Any top expert in the world who comes to climb the tower can reach at least the seventh floor without encountering any difficulties.

As a result, Li Fei had a very difficult time winning starting from the fifth floor.

“I think this Duke should reconsider. Starting from the seventh floor, even a top expert would have difficulty breaking the spell. If he continues to climb, he might really get trapped.”

Someone spoke loudly, and then deliberately glanced at Zhu Fenghua.

Zhu Fenghua had recently defeated the clone on the seventh floor and ascended to the eighth floor. This person's words were undoubtedly an attempt to curry favor with Zhu Fenghua.

However, Zhu Fenghua's expression remained unchanged, revealing no emotion.

"Feng Hua, do you think he can reach the ninth floor?"

Zhao Xin, the strongest guest elder of Tianyi Tower, stood beside Zhu Fenghua and suddenly asked a question.

As soon as he spoke, everyone present fell silent and looked over.

Zhu Fenghua nodded and said confidently, "Yes."

Zhao Xin smiled and shook his head: "I think this Duke of Jing'an is currently all show and no substance, his cultivation level hasn't kept up. He's progressed too fast, his foundation might not be as good as yours."

His words were echoed by many people present.

Zhao Xin continued, "If he continues to climb to the seventh floor, I think we can all leave for the night. There probably won't be any results in the short term."

As a Grandmaster of the Dao Establishment Realm, ranked on the Heavenly Ranking, he is still stuck at the seventh level and has not been able to defeat the seventh-level clone.

Therefore, he naturally understood the difficulty of the seventh level better than many others present.

In Zhao Xin's view, either you are a top-tier expert who breaks through to the seventh level by leveraging your realm advantage.

Either you have to be a disciple like Zhu Fenghua, personally taught by Lin Tianyi, who not only has extremely high attainments in the integration of magic and martial arts, but is also extremely familiar with and understands the various methods of creating clones.

Otherwise, no grandmaster or top-tier master in this era could defeat the seventh-level clone.

Hearing Zhao Xin say this, many people decided that as long as Li Fei reached the seventh floor, they would leave and come back to check tomorrow.

Inside the Heavenly Tower, it took Li Fei more than three hours to finish looking at the murals on the sixth floor.

"Would you like to take a break?"

Ning Qingman asked from the side.

She wasn't worried that Li Fei would be trapped inside the Heavenly Tower. As long as Li Fei chose to reduce his power to the Breaking Body stage, he wouldn't be able to defeat any clone in more than ten moves!

Li Fei turned to look at Ning Qingman and smiled:

"You climbed nine floors in one go back then. Although I'm a bit slower than you, I can't fall too far behind."

After saying that, he walked towards the stairs.

Beneath the cloak, Ning Qingman smiled as she followed Li Fei up to the seventh floor.

"It's on!"

"Go up to the seventh floor."

"Then we can call it a day."

"Let's go, let's go, let's wash up and go to bed."

"."

Downstairs, a commotion arose among the crowd.

The sign that Li Fei has reached the seventh floor is that the glow of the sixth floor re-lit.

This means he has finished looking at the murals and left the sixth floor.

So half of the people turned and left.

Zhu Fenghua remained standing in the same spot, without moving.

"Feng Hua, are you planning to wait forever?"

Zhao Xin asked Zhu Fenghua.

Zhu Fenghua nodded.

Zhao Xin shook his head, deciding not to try to persuade him any further.

Just as he turned to leave, he suddenly heard someone shout:

"Damn it! It's dead! The light's gone out!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xin turned around abruptly, looked up, and then froze on the spot.

The glow on the seventh floor has gone out!
The interval between the extinction of the glow on the sixth floor and the extinction of the glow on the seventh floor was less than thirty seconds!
"how is this possible?"

Zhao Xin found it hard to believe.

The seventh layer that he couldn't break through after so many years, others broke through in thirty seconds?

If it's that powerful, why are the first few floors so difficult?
Like Zhao Xin, many others were shocked and bewildered.

Those who left early, but turned around halfway there after hearing the noise behind them, also stood frozen in place after seeing the glow of the seventh floor go out.

Inside the Heavenly Tower, another 'Sword Immortal' was equally shocked.

Ning Qingman climbed to the seventh floor herself and fought against the clone on that floor. The two competed in swordsmanship, and it took her more than two hundred moves to defeat the clone.

The victory was not easy.

And what about Li Fei?

It only took five moves!
Li Fei stood calmly in place, showing no surprise at his performance.

On the sixth level, he only used two supernatural powers: [Chaos Golden Palace] and [Boundless Distance].

Upon reaching the seventh level, he used all seven of his supernatural powers!
During this process, the [Jing'an] supernatural power was only used to enhance other supernatural powers and did not boost the nation's strength.

Furthermore, he did not use the Myriad Blood Pearls, nor did he unleash any Blood Soul Techniques.

Even so, Li Fei only needed five moves to completely defeat the seventh-level clone!
During his previous battles with the clone, he did not use the Blood Pearl to transfer damage, nor did he use any Blood Soul Skills.

This is why climbing the building was difficult before.

Even without relying on the Myriad Blood Pearl, and despite the advantages brought by his Flying Sword Body, the gap between Li Fei and Lin Tianyi in the Qi Transformation stage, Dao Foundation stage, and early Martial Arts Master stage was actually widening.

However, after he acquired the [Material Refinement] supernatural power, which allowed him to transform his blood soul into various forms of power and fully utilize his abundant vitality, the gap between him and Lin Tianyi began to narrow.

Once he has mastered the [Dragon Elephant] and [Eternal Stability] divine abilities and formed the [Primordial Sword Realm], he will have surpassed them.

Finally, he possessed the [Jing'an] supernatural power and cultivated seven supernatural powers in a way that combined magic and martial arts, making him completely invincible at the Martial Arts Master and True Person realms!

Even Lin Tianyi couldn't achieve the Martial Domain before reaching the Martial Arts Master level.

It's even more impossible for a martial arts master to defeat a grandmaster!
"In fact, from the moment I condensed the [Primordial Sword Realm] with my flying sword body, I had already surpassed Lin Tianyi's attainments on the path of the unity of magic and martial arts."

As Li Fei browsed the murals on the seventh floor, he thought to himself.

Lin Tianyi achieved what was only possible at the Grandmaster and Top True Person levels, but he accomplished it a whole realm ahead of time. This is certainly a kind of leading the way!
Lin Tianyi could only break through the realm with three martial arts divine abilities and three magical divine abilities, while Li Fei could achieve the unity of magic and martial arts with seven divine abilities, which is another level of advantage!
"Let's continue."

Li Fei had only been observing the murals on the seventh floor for less than thirty minutes when he spoke to Ning Qingman.

"So fast?"

Ning Qingman was somewhat surprised.

Li Fei spent more than three hours looking at the murals on the sixth floor.

If other top experts were to ascend the tower, they would only casually glance at the murals on the first six floors, and only begin to examine them in detail from the seventh floor onwards.

Li Fei did the exact opposite.

"Yes, from this floor onwards, my path and Senior Lin's path have diverged."

Li Fei explained with a smile.

Therefore, he needs to study the cultivation methods of the first six levels carefully to strengthen his foundation.

From the seventh floor onwards, he only needs to refer to it.

A glint of surprise flashed in Ning Qingman's eyes, and she nodded:
"Let's go then."

So the two of them went up to the eighth floor together.

Another clone appeared out of thin air.

Li Fei bowed to the other party with clasped hands, then stepped forward and threw out his right fist.

This time it is—

[Ignorant of the immensity of heaven!]
The power of the Primordial Sword Body erupted, yet he still didn't use Blood Soul Techniques. He used the [Sword Sacrifice] divine power to consume Blood Soul to enhance his physical strength, then used the [Dragon Elephant] divine power to double his power. At the same time, he used the [Material Refinement] divine power to consume Blood Soul to enhance the [Dragon Elephant] divine power, instantly bringing the power of the Dragon Elephant to the level of 'Ten Dragons and Ten Elephants'!

A ray of brilliant sunlight enveloped the clone, within which a blood-red giant sword could be faintly seen rapidly spinning.

Bloodthirst Seven Kills - Moon Phase!

This deadly move, combining magic and martial arts, was perfectly integrated by Li Fei into "Ignorance of the Sky's Height"—this was the reward he gained from climbing the tower!

The clone in front also unleashed the power of a Grandmaster of the Dao Realm and a top-level True Person of the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Realms. The Martial Dao Domain and the formation were perfectly integrated, transforming into black and white armor and a longsword.

The armor stood tall, like a mountain supporting the sky.

With a horizontal stroke of the longsword, it was as if the Milky Way from the heavens had fallen to earth!
The boundless sword energy and sword intent also encompass everything: the changing seasons, thunderous roars, raging flames, and surging floods.
The clone unleashed a Creation Dao Force technique very similar to Li Fei's self-created "Unknown Heaven's Height," but with a richer artistic conception!
The longsword thrust forward, the Milky Way reversed, and crashed into that sliver of brilliant light.

The next instant, the light shattered the Milky Way with overwhelming force, then swept away the armor that was as tall as a mountain, and finally swallowed the clone!
After one move, Li Fei calmly withdrew his fist.

There was no one left in front of him!
Even a martial arts master and a clone of Lin Tianyi, who was at the True Person Realm, could only withstand five moves from him.

After advancing to the Grandmaster and Top True Person realms, they couldn't even withstand a single move!
The glow of the mural on the eighth floor disappeared. Li Fei glanced at it and had a general idea of ​​what was going on.

He looked up at the stairs ahead and said loudly:

“Senior Lin, no offense intended. It’s just that I feel the rules you set might need to be revised—”

"From now on, I hope that you will no longer compete with me at the same level."

Because we are all in the same realm, no one in the world can rival me in a single blow!
