In the game "High Martial Arts," players start with the blessing of the Martial God.

"The Beast Taming Ranking?"

Luo Zhao nodded. "Beast tamers are rare, and the number of beasts that can be contracted is even smaller. There are only a few hundred in all the realms combined. To rank 32nd is quite remarkable. Its ability to help people attain enlightenment is only second to the legendary Bodhi Tree!"

Ji Ming's heart burned with excitement, "Then..."

If I could do it a few more times, what difficulty would there be in comprehending the [Heart of Heaven and Earth]!

"Dream on!"

Luo Zhao knew exactly what he was thinking and immediately poured cold water on his idea, saying, "You only have this one chance in your life to use the Purple Heart Lotus to comprehend the Dao."

"Is that so..."

Ji Ming instantly slumped, his expression of disappointment barely concealed, but inwardly he breathed a sigh of relief. Once in a lifetime is good; if he could use it frequently, wouldn't his cheat code lose all its value?

"Alright, I'm hanging up!"

Luo Zhao seemed to have only come to see how his enlightenment was going, and after asking, he hung up the call decisively.

In the room

Luo Zhao put down the communication bracelet and muttered to himself, "This kid's Qian Tian Yi Qi Gong should be close to level 9 by now, right?"

In fact, the Purple Heart Lotus would be more effective for breaking through to the fourth-order Fetal Breathing Realm, but unfortunately Ji Ming doesn't have much time left. Entering the Heavenly One Star Palace through back channels will inevitably lead to exclusion, and he will suffer greatly if his strength is insufficient.

If he could master the [Heart of Heaven and Earth] earlier, he might not be able to turn the tide, but it would at least allow him to gain more attention in the Star Palace.

Therefore, this opportunity for enlightenment must be used; otherwise, it will be difficult for Ji Ming to grasp the heart of heaven and earth within two years. He might not be expelled because of Jian Qiu's influence, but it will be difficult for him to make a name for himself again.

"Silly boy, if you don't enter the Star Palace, how will you walk the path to godhood? I'll have to plan it for you!"

Luo Zhao shook his head and muttered to himself, a hint of anticipation in his heart. The Purple Heart Lotus of Enlightenment is based on the user's own comprehension. Given Ji Ming's astonishing comprehension in the face of the Omniscient Curse, the Qian Tian Yi Qi Gong might have already broken through to level 9!

If that's the case, then Jianqiu and his team will be under less pressure.

……

"Almost level 8!"

Ji Ming sat cross-legged in his room and sighed. His AFK cultivation in the dream world had been non-stop for a moment, and he had now accumulated two opportunities for enlightenment. Tonight would be the time for Qian Tian Yi Qi Gong to break through to level 8!

"Awaken, my extraordinary enlightenment!"

Ji Ming's heart stirred, and he used both of his opportunities for enlightenment. This time he had twenty seconds!

"boom!"

Another booming sound echoed in his mind. Although he did not see the figure of the God of War again, the effect of the enlightenment was undiminished.

When using the Martial God's Enlightenment, his own comprehension is not important. In those short ten seconds, he is the embodiment of the Dao. Most external conditions cannot affect this state, nor can they be superimposed on the effect of the Purple Heart Lotus. The Purple Heart Lotus amplifies his comprehension, which will be covered up once he uses the Enlightenment, so it has no effect.

During an epiphany, he is still aware of the outside world. If he encounters danger, he can actively disconnect from the epiphany, but time will be wasted.

Twenty seconds passed quickly, the second hand kept ticking, and at one point, Ji Ming opened his eyes, the state of merging with heaven and earth instantly fading away.

【Qian Tian Yi Qi Gong: lv.8 (80%)】

Remarkable progress!

The difficulty of levels 7 and 8 of the Qian Tian Yi Qi Gong is the same. Each enlightenment increases the progress by 70%. As he expected, one enlightenment is not enough to advance one level, and it is incomparable to level 4.

Fortunately, he doesn't have any bottlenecks; otherwise, even with high comprehension, he might get stuck at level 7.

"good!"

Ji Ming was already very satisfied. If he did it again, he could easily break through to level 9 and enter the essence of this technique, the divine realm!

There are still 50 days left until the end of April, which is just enough time for another 12 enlightenments. He refuses to believe that he can't grind out a [Heart of Heaven and Earth]!

Standing up, Ji Ming's expression shifted, and he suddenly reached out and grabbed at the air. He opened his palm; there was nothing there, yet there was something there.

"This is... the primordial energy of heaven and earth?"

Ji Ming frowned, then suddenly had a flash of inspiration. He could sense the strange air currents all around him, which felt exactly the same as the Yuan Liquid that Chen Zhengfang had given him yesterday.

No, it's not quite the same!

The primordial energy in the air is extremely complex, containing various attributes, and is far less pure than that of primordial liquid.

"I never expected that I could sense the primordial energy of heaven and earth in advance."

Ji Ming murmured to himself, knowing without asking that this was undoubtedly another ability granted after breaking through to level 8 of the Qian Tian Yi Qi Gong. He could only say that it truly lived up to its reputation as a divine-grade technique. He felt even more eager and curious about the [Heart of Heaven and Earth].

Without much thought, Ji Ming entered the virtual martial arts world to hone his martial arts skills. Since he hadn't broken through to the Jade Purity Realm and opened his Heavenly Meridians, sensing the primordial energy of heaven and earth was of little use.

Virtual martial arts space

Ji Ming's expression was serious as he unleashed each move. The Nine Luminaries Profound Heaven Blade had been simplified into seventy-two moves, and even just mastering these ordinary moves would result in extraordinary power.

If combined with Moon Shadow Slash, his strength will be further enhanced.

The Nine Luminaries Mystic Heaven Blade, already at level 3, was wielded with tremendous power and skill, each move as graceful as a gazelle's horns, reaching the pinnacle of artistry.

Unlike the swift swordsmanship of the Flowing Moon Blade, the Nine Luminaries Mystic Heaven Blade emphasizes grandeur and overwhelming power, crushing enemies head-on with tremendous explosive force.

Especially its first characteristic, [Heaven-Shattering Slash], is a blade light that is condensed to the extreme, with penetrating power capable of severing the spiritual weapons of Foundation Establishment cultivators. This was also the initial direction of the Nine Luminaries Profound Heaven Blade's cultivation, constantly condensing the scattered blade light, and finally transforming it into seventy-two forms into the ultimate blade that can cleave the heavens and split the earth!

……

Early in the morning

As usual, Ji Ming practiced martial arts in the special training room for the elite class until noon, and then went to Master Luo's house to look at his collection of books and broaden his knowledge.

After what he saw and heard on the sixth floor of the Red Moon Dojo yesterday, he now values ​​this aspect even more. Otherwise, it would be too unpleasant to pass by a treasure without knowing it.

Moreover, he also has the "protagonist halo" characteristic of his identity card. Although it doesn't seem to have any obvious effect now, it's because he's been staying in Shirakawa City, and treasures can still come to him on their own.

Hmm, it seems like it might actually work...

Since he obtained the "protagonist halo," his luck has indeed improved a lot, with one opportunity after another. He was able to turn danger into opportunity even when facing the "Omniscient Curse," which is enough to prove that this characteristic is quite powerful. It's just that it's subtle and doesn't have that direct feeling.

That's why you can gain benefits even if you just stay still. What if you go to the Battlefield of All Realms later?

It's said that there are countless opportunities there, and he doesn't want to encounter treasures he doesn't recognize, so he must prepare now.

Furthermore, the upcoming Qingxuan Secret Realm can serve as a preview to see how effective this "protagonist halo" really is.

Small courtyard

Luo Zhao lay on the rocking chair and watched Ji Ming enter the study. He was slightly pleased. He sensed the faint but not dispersed spiritual energy on Ji Ming's body. This was a sign that the Qian Tian Yi Qi Gong was about to break through to level 9!

Sure enough, this kid didn't disappoint him. He brought the effects of the Purple Heart Lotus to their maximum potential at this stage, and once again proved his comprehension.

Maybe this kid can really make it through this divine path that has buried countless geniuses!

Ji Ming was engrossed in reading an ancient book, completely unaware that his astonishing comprehension was almost exposed.
