Cube-like Supernatural Powers: Longevity Begins with Qi Refining

Chapter 96 The Secret Realm of Ten Thousand Woods

Before a massive node, a senior brother with a magic sword hanging at his waist and who was cultivating at the fourth level, glanced at Xiong Zhou.

He muttered to himself, "He arrived here before reaching the Immortal Realm; he must be a true disciple."

The girl, dressed in a Tai Chi robe and holding a cute pink octopus in her arms, nodded silently.

She stroked the soft, cuddly octopus tentacles and whispered, "It should be fine. This sturdy-looking junior brother must be the true successor."

"Most of us inner disciples, while still in the mortal realm, do not have the ability to traverse the deeper layers of space."

Suddenly, a melodious universal Daoist aura emanated from Xiong Zhou, stirring some of the laws of the universe and the void.

Strands of primordial energy, belonging to the realms of emptiness, time, and spacetime, were drawn from all directions and merged into his body, causing his aura to rise slowly yet steadily.

The soft, adorable octopus in the girl's arms seemed to be attracted by something. Its eight short, chubby tentacles slowly swayed, drawing circles of ripples in the void. Zi Guang stared intently at the sturdy figure who seemed to be comprehending the Dao Palace plaque.

That figure feels so familiar, I want to stick to him. He even smells so sweet and milky...

The girl immediately sensed something was amiss, and with a surprised look, she glanced at the restless beast in her arms.

He immediately pinched the soft, adorable octopus's tentacles with a little force, and then raised his hand to disperse the rings of void ripples.

"Little Pink, this is in front of the Void Breaking Hall, you can't be so presumptuous."

The girl hugged the soft, adorable octopus tightly, preventing the little creature from disturbing her junior brother who was comprehending the Daoist principles of the Void Breaking Hall.

She looked at the Tai Li disciples who were gradually casting their light upon this area and asked, "Fellow disciples, are there any outstanding junior disciples in our sect recently?"

"I've been in seclusion recently, and thousands of years have passed in the blink of an eye. I'm rushing to the Void Breaking Hall to accept a mission, so I haven't been paying much attention to information about the mortal realm."

A burly man with a thick Taoist robe, very muscular build, and an honest-looking face reached out and touched his head.

"Junior sister, we have nothing to do, why would we care about information from the mortal realm?"

"The Grand Competition for True Disciples of the First Level of the Mortal Realm is held once every ten years, and the Grand Competition for True Disciples of the Second Level of Qi Refining is held once every hundred years. The time is too short."

"A single period of meditation takes about a hundred years, and with the Three Calamities looming over us, how can we possibly have the mind to pay attention to the situation in the mortal realm?"

Then, he spread out his hands, which were as big as millstones, with a helpless expression.

"We of the Dharma lineage are not as leisurely as you of the Beast Taming lineage."

"7

"Furthermore, this isn't the true transmission of the immortality technique..."

"The girl gave a sheepish smile, "Yeah, yeah."

Ordinary disciples of the true lineage, unless they break through to the realm of immortality, are at most similar to ordinary immortal disciples of the inner sect in terms of actual level in all aspects, and are relatively "weak" and their strength is not lasting.

Who would pay special attention to someone who is completely inconspicuous in a crowd?

We should pay attention to the top tier within the same category.

Unless they're really bored.

The first to notice Xiong Zhou was the slender inner sect senior brother, who immediately opened the Tai Li Tianwang website and browsed various information, making soft clicks of his tongue one after another.

"I recently emerged from seclusion myself..."

"6

"It's a good thing I didn't follow your example; none of you are even bothered to open the Tai Li Tian Wang (a type of internet security system)."

"Recently, several new names have been added to our Tai Li True Disciple Ranking, and several top-ranking Tai Li True Disciples have been added to it."

This slender senior student extracted the entire list and projected it.

[Tai Li True Transmission Ranking]

[Rank 1: Wonderful Music - Sixth Level of Refinement]

[2nd Place: Hongbao, Refining to the Sixth Level]

[3rd Place: White Jade, Refined to Level 6]

[..

[Rank 145: Chang Jun, Fifth Level of Refinement]

[Rank 146: Chen Fan, Level 3 Refinement]

[...

[Rank 168: Xin Ning, Fifth Level of Refinement]

[169th: Yan Feng, Refining Level 3]

[Rank 170: Shenkang, Fifth Level of Refinement]

[...

.]

[Rank 2999: Qin Changfeng, Level 3 Qi Refining]

[Rank 3000: Meng Yuxin, Refining to the Third Level]

In an instant, the Tai Li disciples at the third and fourth levels of the Refinement Realm were in an uproar.

"What the heck?!"

"A true disciple of Tai Li, who is at the third level of Qi Refining, has actually managed to climb directly to the high position of the fifth level of Qi Refining on this list?!"

"That's inhumanly powerful!"

"Wait a minute, could this Junior Brother Chen Fan and Junior Brother Yan Feng really not be human?"

'

"Yes, I've heard that some people with demon blood can use the legacy left by their parents to directly challenge for higher positions on the list."

"I just checked the list half an hour ago, and these two junior brothers' names hadn't appeared yet..."

""

"6

'

The thin senior brother shook his head.

He looked again at his junior brother, whose aura was becoming increasingly mysterious, and then glanced at the two true disciples who were very prominent on the list, his face full of emotion.

He sighed, "I don't know what's going on lately, but one or two geniuses, the likes of which are rare even once in a hundred thousand years, are suddenly appearing all at once."

"Although the sect's fortune is generally on the rise, it's rising far too fast."

The Tai Li True Disciple Ranking has only three thousand positions. As long as you occupy one of them, the resources you gain are unimaginable to ordinary disciples at the Immortal Realm.

It can be said that these three thousand disciples are the core inheritors among the many lineages of the Tai Li Immortal Sect, and they are blessed with a portion of the immortal fortune specially allocated by the Tai Li Immortal Sect.

This can disregard cultivation level, realm, and foundation, and directly increase the probability of attaining immortality!

A tall, slender senior sister with a wine gourd-shaped magical artifact hanging from her waist stroked her chin and muttered, "When I first came here, I was at the third level of Qi Refining."

"By comprehending this plaque, I directly completed the cultivation of the Minor Void-Breaking Technique and transformed it into an acquired supernatural power."

"As a true disciple of Tai Li, even if you don't make it onto the Tai Li True Disciple Ranking, you will still have some of the sect's immortal destiny."

"Even the most ordinary true disciples, whose cultivation level is not as high as mine at that time, should have gained more than us ordinary inner disciples."

She picked up the gourd, took a small sip, and exhaled a breath of clear liquid, which dissipated into the void.

"This junior brother's aura seems quite mysterious; he might also become a member of the list."

"I just don't understand what this junior brother can comprehend?"

"Um?"

Xiong Zhou, who was comprehending the Daoist principles behind the plaque of the Void-Breaking Hall, suddenly stopped abruptly and began to restrain himself. The subtle universal laws that had been emanating from his body also vanished without a trace.

Judging from the look, it seems that he has finished his comprehension and completed some kind of special cultivation.

The gazes of the Tai Li disciples returned to Xiong Zhou, filled with intense curiosity.

【修行境界：炼二重·真意当前进度：Lv.6（18，014↑/10，000，000）】

【…

.】

【修行境界：炼二重·真意当前进度：Lv.6（20，009↑/10，000，000）】

[...]

]

【修行境界：炼二重·真意当前进度：Lv.6（22，001↑/10，000，000）】

In Xiong Zhou's eyes, the [Innate Divine Power: (Pixel Cube)] continuously provided feedback, carrying with it the various true meanings of heaven and earth gathered from the "Mountain and Sea Realm," and the true meaning of his true self that had undergone a round of improvement, and continuously refreshed the information.

"The Universal Dao Body has rendered a great service..."

'

"Having the tools to understand space and time" really accelerated my sudden realization.

"One enlightenment directly increased my progress by 4000 points, which is comparable to the gains I made by having four enlightenments and summarizing the four principles of heaven and earth that I had just entered the sixth level of Qi Refining into my own abundant principles."

Xiong Zhou opened his eyes and looked at the Dao Palace in front of him again; that subtle charm had disappeared.

"This can only be comprehended once..."

1

"It seems that this is a one-time enlightenment resource that is publicly available within the sect and is intended for an individual."

Xiong Zhou felt a little regretful. The feeling he had just experienced was much more enjoyable than trying to comprehend the Dao by taking advantage of the "Mountain and Sea Realm's" blessings.

It was like boarding a helicopter and flying directly into the clouds, where the laws of the universe and the laws of nature seemed as close as the clouds at your fingertips, all within reach.

It took Xiong Zhou quite a while to recover from the exhilarating feeling of sudden enlightenment.

Suddenly, I noticed that I was being looked at from all directions, with eyes filled with curiosity, wonder, and a sense of wonder.

Xiong Zhou looked up and saw that they were all senior brothers and sisters who had reached the Immortal Realm.

These gazes contained no malice whatsoever, but Xiong Zhou's expression had already become slightly stiff.

These are not the immortal beings in the Mountain and Sea Realm who haven't even perfected their cultivation systems. This focused gaze is incredibly intense, creating an overwhelming sense of pressure.

After hesitating for a few breaths, Xiong Zhou began to mobilize the power of his Universal Dao Body, causing a corner of the Universal Dao Pattern to bloom on his body surface. Then he rushed towards the Void Breaking Hall.

That sturdy figure seemed somewhat disheveled.

"Hey, this junior disciple is even shy..."

'

"Perhaps we've given him too much attention. After all, he's still just a mortal being, and he hasn't yet achieved immortality."

"That's true. Judging from this junior brother's lifespan, he's not even 40 yet. He's still young for us, so there might be some pressure. We should be a little more careful."

"When he reaches the same level as me, all eyes will be on him, and some of the fortune of heaven and earth will also gather around him. We are helping him adapt in advance. I originally wanted to chat with this true disciple for a few words."

"This junior disciple is also going to the Void Breaking Hall. I wonder which secret realm he will choose for the mission, and in which secret realm we will meet..."

'

"6

'

Listening to the casual conversations of his senior brothers and sisters, which were tinged with a bit of teasing, Xiong Zhou traversed many distances and quickly ran to the entrance of the Po Xu Hall before stepping inside.

"Splash..."

""

The peculiar sense of separation caused by the division of time and space immediately surfaced in Xiong Zhou's mind, and the colors in his eyes instantly turned into black and white.

The various void-related and time-related Daoist inscriptions hidden within the main hall were exceptionally clear to the perception of the Universal Dao Body.

A surge of abundance caused a subtle fluctuation to flash by, transforming into tiny chains of Daoist runes that bound the body. Some of the perceptions of the Universal Dao Body were blocked, the black and white colors fell, and the colors of heaven and earth reappeared.

"call..

'

"I feel much better..."

""

"I never imagined that one day I would have to actively block my special physical condition from perceiving the outside world."

Xiong Zhou took another deep breath.

He looked around and saw no one there. The hall was empty except for one Dao inscription after another flashing.

This is because the space is divided, and every disciple who enters the Void Breaking Hall will complete their final preparations before taking action in this quiet environment.

At the same time, they will accept sect missions that are suitable for them.

Xiong Zhou scanned all the Dao inscriptions, his brows furrowing slightly. Each Dao inscription contained a variety of information.

He took out his True Disciple Token, connected to the Void Breaking Hall, opened the search bar, and directly entered "Myriad Wood Secret Realm".

[Start filtering all information that matches the criteria...]

[1. Secret Realm of Heaven and Earth: Myriad Woods Secret Realm (Sixth Level of Qi Refining) - Teleportation Program]

Xiong Zhou ignored the third point; he had already seen the relevant information before coming to the Broken Void Palace.

Reach out and click on the second item.

If there's a task he can complete along the way, he's willing to do it.

Within his true disciple token, the portion for minor merit was still zero.

None of the four tasks are suitable for a junior cultivator at the second level of cultivation to complete.

"Education...this involves going to underdeveloped areas to teach...and the teaching period is more than a year..."

exclude."

"Development...is construction, engineering, which takes a long time...so we'll rule that out."

"Collection is also excluded; there are no minor feature deductions."

Xiong Zhou clicked on the third item.

[Task accepted.]

Then, click the transfer program to open the channel.

Inside the Void Breaking Hall, countless Daoist runes began to recombine and rearrange, forming a portal that slowly opened towards Xiong Zhou. He stepped inside, and the world changed; he was now in the Myriad Woods Secret Realm.
