Dual-wielding! 100x proficiency, I'll grind my way to godhood!

He has mastered all the martial arts techniques in the Tianxuan Continent.

His strength is now fixed at over five million jin, and he can no longer increase it.

Without new cultivation techniques to practice, this path to becoming stronger has come to a complete end.

If you want to become stronger, there is only one way left.

That is ascension to the upper realm.

But he dared not be careless in the slightest when it came to ascension.

A year ago, when the two former emperors ascended to heaven, he was flying a fighter jet high in the sky and filmed a video of the entire event with his mobile phone.

Over the course of the year, he watched the video hundreds of times, slowing it down frame by frame and carefully examining every detail.

In the end, he only summarized four visible patterns.

First, upon breaking through to the Innate Realm, a person's appearance will become younger.

Those two old men with full heads of white hair, once they broke through to the Innate Realm, their white hair slowly turned black, and the wrinkles on their faces gradually faded and disappeared.

Secondly, Heaven will sense this in advance.

Whenever someone breaks through to the Innate Realm, the Heavenly Gate will automatically appear, open, and send down golden light.

Third, once enveloped in golden light, the body will completely lose control and become unable to move at all.

Fourth, once a person is immobilized, they will involuntarily fly slowly upwards towards the Heavenly Gate.

You can't go faster if you want to, and you can't stop if you want to; you're completely out of control.

The video actually reveals even more secrets that are difficult to understand or grasp.

The surface of the Heavenly Gate is covered with dense patterns that look like characters, yet are completely unlike any characters.

He searched through all the texts in the cultivation world and on Earth, but none of them matched.

What exactly is hidden behind the Heavenly Gate?

The camera was specifically aimed at the crack in the door to take the picture, but all that could be seen was a blinding white light, and nothing inside could be captured.

Of these four rules, the one he studied the longest and most thoroughly was the third.

They couldn't move once they were enveloped in golden light.

No one in the world knew better than him how deadly this was.

A year ago, he exploited the Ascended's weakness of being unable to move and blew them both up.

But now, it was about to be his turn to step into this golden light.

Once frozen in place by the golden light, he became a sitting duck, completely at the mercy of others.

But ascension is an inevitable path; it is a step that cannot be avoided or bypassed.

Fortunately, no one else on the Tianxuan Continent possessed nuclear weapons besides him. Given the weapons and human strength of this world, it would be difficult to break through that golden light.

However, he knew nothing about the Upper Realm.

Throughout history, countless powerful figures have ascended to heaven in Tianxuan, but none have ever returned.

What is the upper realm like?

What kind of people live there?

Are those who ascend to heaven living a good or bad life?

Not a single message came back; it was all completely unknown.

Therefore, he would never dare to gamble based on luck.

He didn't go to seek refuge in some new world.

He was holding a knife and carrying his trump card, heading towards a completely unfamiliar door, where the outcome was uncertain.

Ascension is a must, but preparations must also be thorough.

He made a special trip back to Earth.

He also collected a few more nuclear bombs into the bronze ring.

This was his last desperate trump card.

If he were to encounter a desperate situation in the upper realm, this would be his strongest reliance.

He also confiscated several of the most advanced fighter jets.

This is his escape tool.

If you can avoid risking your life, then never fight a desperate battle.

If he is truly driven to a dead end, he has nuclear weapons to fight back.

Even if he can't win, he has a chance to escape.

I hope that all these things I've prepared will be useful, but I also hope that I won't need them.

Upon returning from Earth, he stood alone atop the mountain.

He had been suppressing the final bottleneck before reaching the Innate Realm for a long time.

It's time for a complete breakthrough.

Once he breaks through this final barrier, he can enter the Innate Realm and trigger the appearance of the Heavenly Gate.

All the secrets hidden behind the Heavenly Gate will be revealed the moment you climb up.

In front of the main hall at the top of the mountain.

Chen Mo summoned all twelve women to his side.

He began to speak.

"I will break through to the Innate Realm today. When I succeed, the Heavenly Gate will open, and I will ascend directly to the Upper Realm."

The moment the word "ascension" was uttered, everyone present felt a sudden tightness in their chests.

Shangguan Hong was the first to speak:

"I'll go with you."

Xu Wanqing then spoke up:

"I'll go too."

Chen Mo refused outright:

"no."

Xu Wanqing immediately became anxious:

"Why? We're both at the half-step innate realm, just one step away from breaking through! We can totally go with you!"

"It has nothing to do with cultivation level."

Chen Mo said seriously,

"No one knows exactly what the Upper Realm is, whether it's good or bad is completely unknown. I'll go up first to scout it out, and you can come up after I've figured out the situation."

He turned to look at Shangguan Hong and continued:

"Moreover, the Shennong Sect now controls the world and cannot function without your presence."

Shangguan Hong opened her mouth, but in the end, she didn't say anything.

She knew in her heart that she was indispensable.

She suppressed her worry and asked:

"How long will it take us to ascend?"

"One year."

Chen Mo said.

"Give me a year to figure out the situation in the Upper Realm. You all stay here and cultivate in peace. Whoever breaks through to the Innate Realm first after a year, come up to me. I'll be waiting for you in the Upper Realm."

After hearing this, everyone fell silent, and no one dared to object.

They always listened to Chen Mo in everything.

This is the effect of the dual cultivation technique "Eternal Bond of Love". Every woman who has practiced dual cultivation with him will love him deeply and her love will never change in this lifetime.

Even if they obediently listen, the worry in their eyes can't be hidden.

A group of women came over one by one to hug him and give him some gifts.

Chen Mo had no shortage of supplies in his bronze ring, but he accepted everything they offered him.

Qingzhu, who had been holding back for a long time, finally couldn't help but ask:

Upon hearing this, all the women looked at Chen Mo.

That's what they've always thought.

Previously, when Chen Mo disappeared into thin air time and time again, they all assumed that he had returned to the Upper Realm.

Chen Mo gently shook his head:

"My hometown is much farther away than the upper realm."

Qingzhu wanted to ask more questions, but Chen Mo didn't say anything more.

The others were quite sensible and didn't ask any further questions.

Having followed Chen Mo for so long, they had long been accustomed to the secrets he carried.

There was just one thing he had never mentioned to anyone.

His teleportation portal, which could transport him back to Earth, was governed by completely different rules from the Heavenly Dao of this Tianxuan Continent.

The laws of this world should not be able to control his teleportation portal.

But once you ascend to the upper realm, will this door still be usable?

Is it possible to travel back to the Tianxuan Continent again?

He didn't have the answer either; he could only find out by trying.

As long as the portal works properly, he can get back in a month, let alone a year.

After explaining everything, Chen Mo sat down cross-legged on the ground.

He completely released his long-suppressed cultivation.

He swallowed a pill, and his semi-immortal-grade cultivation technique was activated at full speed. His powerful internal energy suddenly broke through the last barrier of his cultivation realm.

A complete transformation is about to begin.

The twelve women around him stood quietly, their eyes fixed on him.

Chen Mo's face slowly changed, his mature appearance of twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old gradually faded away, and he finally turned back into an eighteen-year-old boy.

His eyebrows and eyes were clean and bright, full of youthful spirit.

Qingzhu stared at the young face, completely mesmerized, and murmured in admiration:

"So this is what you looked like when you were eighteen, young master."

Just then, a strange movement occurred in the sky.

The clouds overhead churned wildly, all converging towards the mountaintop.
