I ascended to godhood through the 100-ton King Martial Arts.

The time that follows.

Li Qingshan, for once, calmed down and focused on practicing martial arts.

Above the stone courtyard, another strange phenomenon appeared in the sea, manifested by the circulation of true energy. The waves surged and grew stronger day by day, attracting the attention of two disciples in the distance who would occasionally glance at the area.

It wasn't exactly sneaky.

The phenomenon was quite significant; it could be seen simply by looking up.

Since obtaining the Dao body.

Although Li Qingshan did not deliberately cultivate, the boundless ocean body's ability to embrace all rivers made his true energy increasingly abundant, which in turn passively strengthened his soul strength. The increase in soul strength, in turn, accelerated the expansion of the boundless ocean body's range.

This practice of stepping on his right foot with his left has unknowingly increased his perception range to over 350 meters.

The strange phenomenon covering an area of ​​more than 350 meters in diameter was indeed conspicuous.

A few more days passed.

Jiu San delivered the first batch of supplies that Li Qingshan had exchanged.

Upon seeing the strange phenomenon in the sea, his expression was indescribable: "With Master's help, I also condensed an acquired Dao body, but when I cultivate, the phenomenon can only cover a small courtyard with a radius of about ten meters. What kind of Dao body do you have?"

Li Qingshan spread his hands: "It's normal for the Dao body condensed from the sea to be larger, unlike your and your master's shadow Dao bodies, which have so many and so magical methods."

"That's true..."

Jiu San nodded, preparing to leave again.

The things his junior brother asked him to handle were all of high quality, and he was still working on them. What was delivered to him now was only the first batch of supplies.

Li Qingshan called out to Jiu San, muttered a few words to him, and then let him leave.

...

As Jiu San delivered the large amount of supplies he had exchanged.

Li Qingshan's cultivation speed is getting faster and faster.

Correspondingly.

When he was cultivating, the strange phenomenon of the sea above his head began to shrink, decreasing in size from its original radius of over 300 meters to one circle each day.

In just half a month.

When Li Qingshan was cultivating, the manifested sea area was only a hundred meters in diameter.

He had a premonition.

When the strange phenomenon completely disappears, the Dao patterns in one's body will begin to transform into Dao veins, marking the second step into the Qi Sea Realm.

However, that's a story for later.

He has more important things to do now.

Li Qingshan stopped cultivating and waited for Jiu San to arrive.

...

The setting sun is like blood.

A small airship appeared in view, bathed in the glow of the setting sun.

moment.

One by one, iron cages were piled up outside Li Qingshan's courtyard.

Jiu San pointed to the barbarians locked in iron cages: "Junior brother, the people you want are really hard to find. Only your senior brother has extraordinary skills and can find them all for you."

"Thank you, senior!"

Li Qingshan bowed respectfully to Jiu San.

It's never wrong to be overly polite.

After all, his demands are not easy for the average person to meet.

Jiu San waved his hand and handed a recording stone to Li Qingshan: "This contains the test data of these people. Next, I will help you exchange the remaining assets for life-giving water and tears of the mourners—the ultimate treasures of the Meridian Opening Realm—through barter. It will be a bit slow..."

Li Qingshan expressed his gratitude once again.

After Jiu San left.

Li Qingshan read the information from the recording stone, then picked up a cage containing the old barbarian and quickly disappeared into the distance.

They stayed more than 30 miles away from the camp.

Under the old man's questioning gaze.

The earth shook violently.

The iron cage, along with the barbarian old man inside, was turned into an iron disc.

Li Qingshan withdrew his Dharma form, unleashed a surge of true energy, forcefully shredded the iron disc into fragments, concealed the surrounding marks, and then returned to the courtyard.

...

After the two camp disciples moved the barbarians who were locked in the iron cages away.

Li Qingshan sat cross-legged, his consciousness entering the space.

The barbarians brought in this time were all individuals with strong willpower whom Jiu San had captured over the past half month through his intelligence gathering abilities.

It's actually not difficult to find.

After all, people like this usually manage to make a name for themselves.

However, it is much more troublesome to then throw these people into the witch formation for testing and select those whose willpower is at least at level C.

That's right.

Li Qingshan temporarily abandoned his efforts to improve his comprehension and affinity for water, and instead focused on plundering his talent for willpower.

He knew very well that he was only slightly better than the average person in terms of willpower, and had a talent for "adversity resilience".

This talent makes him less likely to break down, especially in dire situations.

In his previous life, he spent more than ten years in prison. After he got out, he couldn't keep up with the times, but he didn't give up. Instead, he found a wife and lived a normal life. That's how it is.

But compared to those tough people who have experienced setbacks and never give up, he's just a nobody on the street.

As the saying goes, a leopard can't change its spots.

It's much easier to hone your own skills than to hone others'.

After Li Qingshan read the barbarian elder's talent, in the blink of an eye, a talent called [Heart of a Warrior] appeared in his soul.

With a thought.

This innate talent of courage is integrated into the original resilience in adversity.

Resilience in adversity: The more difficult the situation, the more it can ignite your fighting spirit.

Li Qingshan felt that his courage had grown considerably, and his mindset had also changed. He had become much more tolerant of many things that he used to find troublesome.

"It's alright. It gives me a feeling of having become more resilient after going through hardships, even though it was someone else who went through those hardships..."

Li Qingshan chuckled and turned to look at the manifested 100-ton king.

I don't know why.

The celestial register that Shen Linyuan had given him was imprinted on the speaker that he had modified himself in the passenger seat.

Although Li Qingshan was very curious about the truth of Guixu that his master had mentioned, he was helpless about it.

...

The time that follows.

Li Qingshan didn't deliberately pursue any kind of self-expression; he simply practiced diligently day and night.

Every month, a barbarian would be sent to ascend to heaven.

As the 'Adversity Resilience' talent merged with various willpower talents, changes began to occur.

Li Qingshan clearly sensed that his influence on the Hundred-Ton King Faxiang was becoming stronger and stronger.

at the same time.

His Dao patterns also began to continuously transform into Dao veins.

The internal energy within the body is becoming increasingly concentrated.

...

In the blink of an eye.

It's the sixth month since I arrived at the secret realm.

After Li Qingshan condensed the last wisp of Dao pattern, it transformed into a Dao vein.

It seems to have reached a certain limit.

A tiny sea area, about an acre in size, suddenly appeared behind Li Qingshan.

This strange phenomenon is completely different from the strange phenomena I experienced during my previous cultivation.

This time, the phenomenon incorporated his surging wave momentum, to the point that it gave people the feeling of coming to life.

at the same time.

Countless water-attribute energies surged forth, pouring into the small area of ​​the sea. After transformation, they became more active true qi, which was then injected into Li Qingshan's dantian.

The surrounding etheric energy was quickly devoured.

The sea above Li Qingshan's head, filled with insatiable desire, began to transform into a funnel shape, resembling an ocean vortex, radiating a violent force of devouring and pulling.

Under the influence of gravity.

An even larger funnel appeared above Li Qingshan's head, maintaining the speed at which he continuously compressed his true energy.

Tick.

Within the Qi Sea, a drop of liquid true Qi was compressed into shape.

This is like a signal.

More and more gaseous true energy was compressed into liquid.

Li Qingshan's Qi Sea also began to truly have some of the charm of the sea.

time flies.

The sound of surging waves began to emanate from within Li Qingshan's body.

This was not a strange phenomenon, but rather the sound of true qi surging and rushing through his meridians after it had transformed into liquid.

The funnel-shaped vortex began to slowly dissipate, returning to a vibrant expanse of azure sea, sometimes transforming into Li Qingshan's face, sometimes into the shadows of guns and fists...

This strange phenomenon lasted for three whole days.

It continued until the fourth day.

Driven by his true energy, Li Qingshan's soul strength reached a certain limit and began to transform.

The azure sea above his head also began to slowly take shape into a strange form.

...

"The meaning of martial arts?"

The shadows wriggled and transformed into Shen Linyuan's figure.

He originally came to inform Li Qingshan to prepare to go to the secret realm.

Unexpectedly, this happened at the time when the disciple was entering the Meridian Opening Realm and incidentally refining the martial arts intent.

Looking at the strange phenomenon manifested by Li Qingshan's will, Shen Linyuan's expression was strange: "This thing, why does it look a couple of times like those barbarian steam locomotives?"

Above the front of the car, there are three unidentified characters.

Shen Linyuan didn't recognize him.

But if you're from Li Qingshan's hometown, you'll know that those three words are: Hundred-Ton King!
