Practice starts with skill points.

"I don't have any magical weapons, so I'll give these pills to you."

King Fentian smiled and waved his hand, and a jade gourd fell into Zhonglin's palm. The vitality in the gourd flowed like a whirlpool. Although the effect was unknown, it was definitely not an ordinary item.

"Junior brother, Elder Fentian is the only ninth-grade alchemist in our Tianjian Holy Land. Why don't you thank him quickly?" Tu Ye said with a smile.

Zhong Lin was shocked. He didn't expect that the elusive ninth-grade alchemist in the sect was actually King Fentian. He was so surprised for a moment that he quickly bowed and thanked him.

"Thank you, Elder Fentian."

"No need to thank me, they are just some eighth-grade pills. You are also an eighth-grade pill master, so these pills are not difficult for you." said King Fentian.

"May I ask Elder Fentian how to break through to the ninth rank of Alchemy Master? And what is the 'source'?"

Zhong Lin couldn't help but feel confused and asked directly.

King Fen Tian pondered for a moment and said, "There are nine levels in the path of alchemy. The eighth level requires refining Qi, while the ninth level requires tracing back to the source and refining the elixir with the origin of all things."

“How do we trace back to the source?”

"I can't do it. There is no "source" in the world anymore."

Zhong Lin was horrified. "The Source is gone. Why is that? What exactly is the Source?"

"'Source' is one, it is the root, it is all living beings, it is all things, and it is also the foundation for the emperor realm strongmen to break through the divine realm. This thing can only be generated at the beginning of the world. Do you know how many years the Qingyuan Realm has been born? And how many people have broken through the divine realm and ascended to become gods in these years?" King Fentian sighed.

Zhong Lin felt as if a thunderclap exploded in his mind, shaking his body.

"What Elder Fentian means is that... the 'source' has been completely consumed."

"Even if it's not completely consumed, it's almost there. Otherwise, why do you think the Blood Demon Clan invaded?" King Fen Tian asked back.

"This……"

Zhong Lin felt as if he had heard an incredible secret, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

A strong person in the King Realm needs to comprehend the power of space and form a domain; a strong person in the Emperor Realm needs to condense the Dharma image of heaven and earth, but if you want to break through the final God Realm, you need something called "source".

The elixir refined by the ninth-grade alchemist can help one break through to the imperial realm. The fundamental reason for this is also the "source" in the elixir.

However, the "source" can only be born when the world was first created, and its quantity is limited. The Qingyuan Realm has been formed for countless billions of years, and the gods and even higher-level strongmen born there have already consumed the "source", making it impossible for future generations to break through to higher levels.

According to King Fentian, the Xuehua Realm is also facing a similar situation, and the invasion of the Blood Demon Clan is also for the purpose of collecting the "source" in order to achieve a breakthrough.

"So that's how it is. No wonder I've searched through all the history books and they only record the last person who ascended to heaven a hundred thousand years ago. No one has entered the divine realm since then. So this is the root cause." Zhong Lin murmured.

"Fentian, you are too pessimistic."

The King of Zhenshan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke. His voice was buzzing, and the entire hall was slightly ringing under his voice.

A towering figure stepped in front of Zhong Lin and said loudly, "Zhong Lin, don't be so ambitious. You've only just broken through to the King Realm, and the Dharma of Heaven and Earth hasn't even condensed yet. How can you even think about the Source? What you should do most now is to prepare for the upcoming war between the two realms. From what I know, there will be major changes in this war. Only if you survive will you be qualified to consider the Source."

"Junior brother, this is the King of the Mountain." Tu Ye introduced again.

Zhong Linye bowed and saluted: "Greetings, Elder Zhenshan. May I ask, what change are you talking about?" The King of Zhenshan grinned, and with his somewhat fierce face, he looked like a demon.

"Let me ask you, who do you think should be most anxious about the lack of 'Source'?"

Zhong Lin's heart moved, and he blurted out: "The supreme masters of the major holy lands."

"Yes, they are the ones who should be most anxious. After all, without the "source", they cannot break through the divine realm and cannot obtain a longer lifespan. The strong ones in the king realm live for ten thousand years, and the lifespan of the strong ones in the emperor realm is limited even if it is longer. If they cannot break through, their lifespan will be exhausted one day. There is great terror between life and death. What do you think they will do to break through?" King Zhenshan said with a smile.

Zhong Lin thought about it over and over again, and finally uttered three words between his lips.

"Blood Flower Realm!"

"Hahaha, worthy of being the youngest king-level expert in the Holy Land in the past ten thousand years, he is indeed intelligent. Yes, it is the Blood Flower Realm."

King Zhenshan shouted, "The Blood Demon Clan's invasion of the Qingyuan Realm is for the 'Source', but they don't realize that those high and mighty sect masters are also keeping an eye on them!"

Zhong Lindun immediately admired the many powerful emperors. Others only regarded the war between the two worlds as a catastrophe and thought about how to avoid it every day. However, they did not know that blessing and disaster are closely related, and disaster and blessing are also closely related. A great disaster can also be a great opportunity. If they can counterattack, it will also be the time to seize the "source" of the Blood Flower World.

"It's a pity that we were born at the wrong time. Now we are only able to comprehend space and form a domain. If we can condense the Dharma image of heaven and earth, we will be qualified to jump out of the chessboard and compete for the opportunity to ascend. How sad! How lamentable!"

King Taixu sighed slowly.

The others were the same, with regretful expressions on their faces.

"May I ask the elders, how long does the war between the two worlds usually last?" Zhong Lin asked again.

"Only a hundred years."

Senior Brother Tu Ye responded.

Zhong Lin frowned slightly and said no more, but his mind was full of thoughts.

"A hundred years? It's not like there's no chance."

However, he did not express the thought in his mind. It was too unbelievable that he could break through the imperial realm in a hundred years and condense the Dharma image of heaven and earth.

But martial arts itself is a miracle, isn't it?
Zhong Lin also exchanged his experience in cultivation with the three elders Taixu, Fentian and Zhenshan, and left after several months.

This time, the group from Yunjian Peak obtained a royal weapon, two top-grade treasures, a gourd of elixirs, the rights of an elder, and insights into the field. Their gains were enormous.

After mastering the remaining five martial arts, Zhong Lin returned to East Peak, no, it should be called "East King Peak" now.

In the secret room, Zhong Lin sat cross-legged, constantly reviewing the cultivation path of the King Realm powerhouses in his mind.

"A King Realm expert comprehends the power of space, merges it with his or her own artistic conception, and condenses it into a domain. The goal of this stage of cultivation is to continuously expand one's domain, or in other words, to continuously deepen one's understanding of space. Using the power of space to refine the golden elixir, the rhythm of the golden elixir becomes increasingly intense, the golden elixir shatters, and the Dharma image emerges."

"But space is difficult to comprehend. Every progress of a King Realm expert is extremely difficult. But for me... hehe, who made me cheat?"

A smile flashed across Zhong Lin's face, and he felt more and more proud.

As his cultivation level improved, he could feel the power of the "System Panel" more and more. The existence of unlimited skill points was simply the biggest bug. (End of this chapter)
