At the start of the game, you have one equipment slot; the effects of unequipping the equipment rema

"First-tier Skin and Flesh Realm, Second-tier Tendon and Bone Realm, Third-tier Blood and Marrow Realm, Fourth-tier Qi Condensation Realm, Fifth-tier Meridian Opening Realm, Sixth-tier Acupoint Opening Realm, Seventh-tier True Qi Realm, Eighth-tier Martial Soul Realm, Ninth-tier Celestial Phenomenon Realm..."

Mu Yang silently recited the path of martial arts in his mind.

The path of martial arts truly becomes increasingly wider as you progress through each realm!

"Lord Yuan, could you please explain the True Qi Realm?"

After Yuan Yin finished explaining the dual apertures of life and soul, he jumped directly to the eighth-order Martial Soul Realm, without yet describing the seventh-order True Qi Realm in detail.

"There is nothing wrong with that."

Yuan Yin raised his hand, and a thick, bright white energy suddenly surged from his palm.

"The so-called True Qi Realm is the transformation of the true qi in the body into a more concentrated form of True Qi."

"The true qi cultivated by martial artists of the fourth to sixth ranks, whether it is the common low-grade true qi or the rare high-grade true qi, is like clouds and mist on the horizon. It seems to have a form, but in fact it dissipates upon contact."

"But True Qi is different..."

As he spoke, Yuan Yin condensed his true energy into a ball and presented it to the two of them.

Mu Yang raised his hand and placed it on the dense white true energy ball.

It is cool, smooth, and soft, with a texture somewhat like a water-filled ball, yet it retains its resilience and firmness.

"True Qi is a tangible substance obtained after True Qi has been sublimated to its ultimate form. Not only is it tough and resilient, but it can also be transformed into a tangible form. In the later stages of the True Qi realm, one can even walk on Qi without any visible form," Yuan Yin said.

"To tread the heavens invisibly? To traverse the void in mid-air?" Mu Yang asked.

"almost."

Yuan Yin nodded: "However, this technique is not suitable for combat."

"Firstly, this would cause excessive consumption of true energy, and secondly, since humans cannot fly, forcibly leaving the ground would greatly reduce their agility and speed."

After speaking, Yuan Yin went on to explain the division of the True Qi Realm.

Like other realms, the True Qi Realm is also divided into four levels: early stage, middle stage, late stage, and perfect stage.

The initial stage of the True Qi Realm involves transforming the five major body apertures into furnaces to forge true qi into true qi.

During this process, once the first wisp of true qi is generated within the body, one is considered to have broken through to the True Qi Realm, which can increase strength by a full 500 million jin.

Each strand of true qi amplifies the energy far more than true qi, amounting to a thousand jin.

Unlike True Qi, which has quality classifications, True Qi has no quality distinctions.

However, compared to martial artists with high-grade true qi, it is more difficult for martial artists with only mid-grade true qi to break through.

As for the mid-stage of the True Qi Realm, one must use True Qi to temper the five internal organs.

These are the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys.

Each time one is fully refined, it increases strength by 5 million jin and expands the main dantian by 10,000 strands of true qi.

Once all five major organs have been tempered, one has reached the limit of the mid-stage of the True Qi Realm and can begin tempering the six internal organs.

These include the gallbladder, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, bladder, and triple burner.

Similarly, when one of the six internal organs is tempered, one is considered to have reached the late stage of the True Qi Realm. Furthermore, each time one of the six internal organs is tempered, one's strength will increase by 500 million jin.

However, unlike the expansion of the main dantian in the middle stage, the expansion of the five major body orifices will occur when tempering the six fu organs in the later stage.

Each time a tempering process is completed, the size of each of the five major body acupoints will increase by two thousand strands.

That is, each time a total of 10,000 strands of space are added.

Once all the internal organs have been tempered, one has reached the peak of the True Qi Realm.

Next comes the comprehension of martial will.

"It strengthens the five internal organs and expands the Qi..."

After listening to Yuan Yin's account, Mu Yang began to calculate silently in his mind.

Even without the added bonus of True Qi, a martial artist at the peak of the True Qi realm already possesses a physical strength of approximately 7000 million jin.

This number is so high that he could probably crush a considerable number of sixth-tier martial artists just by relying on his physical strength.

Even for him, his physical strength is only 4103 million jin now.

If we include True Qi, the full strength of a True Qi Realm Perfection martial artist would probably exceed 20000 million jin.

"It seems that with my current strength, it will be difficult to deal with a martial artist at the peak of the True Qi Realm..."

After a moment, Mu Yang had a clear understanding of his own combat strength.

With his full power reaching nearly 10000 million jin, defeating a martial artist in the early stage of the True Qi Realm would be no problem, but it's hard to say what would happen if he faced a martial artist in the middle stage of the True Qi Realm.

It's highly unlikely that a martial artist at the late True Qi Realm stage could defeat him.

"I don't even have the strength to advance an entire rank. I really need to work harder!"

If someone has a cheat ability but still can't fight against opponents of higher levels, then they're really lacking.

With this in mind, Mu Yang became even more eager to find the demon.

"No matter how much you talk about it, nothing beats experiencing it firsthand. I happen to have some free time right now, so how about we have a little sparring session?"

As they were talking, Yuan Yin suddenly changed the subject and looked at Mu Yang.

"A friendly spar?"

Yuan Yuan, who was standing to the side, was stunned when she heard this.

You've already broken through to the seventh rank, yet you still actively seek out Mu Yang, a sixth-rank opponent, for a sparring match. Isn't that bullying him?

"father......"

Yuan Yuan was about to speak when Yuan Yin stopped her with a look.

In fact, this was not a sudden idea of ​​his.

Even after his breakthrough, he had the idea of ​​sparring with Mu Yang.

It wasn't to suppress Mu Yang.

It was simply because he felt that while Mu Yang was a genius, he was sometimes too reckless.

But there's nothing we can do about it. If he had had that kind of talent back then, he probably would have dared to ride wildly on his master's neck.

His master would probably say that his thighs are strong and his grip is tight.

"A friendly spar?"

Mu Yang was taken aback, but his eyes quickly lit up.

Numerical calculations are just panel data; the outcome of a battle can only be determined through actual combat.

Yuan Yin in his current state can serve as a good benchmark for judgment.

Not only did he cultivate superior true qi, with 6000 strands of true qi in each of his body's acupoints, but he also successfully opened the two acupoints of his life soul. Among sixth-level martial artists, he was definitely among the top tier.

Now that he has broken through to the True Qi Realm, his strength is far beyond that of ordinary early True Qi Realm martial artists.

Through his battle with Yuan Yin, he seemed to be able to make a more accurate assessment of himself.

With this in mind, Mu Yang immediately nodded, neither humble nor arrogant, and cupped his hands, saying, "Then I'll have to trouble Lord Yuan."

"What's the trouble? I've been itching to try it myself!" Yuan Yin said with a smile.

Seeing that the two had settled things in just a few words, Yuan Yuan looked at Mu Yang with a worried expression and prayed silently in her heart.

I hope my father will act with restraint and not hurt Muyang.

..................

Soon, the three of them left the city and arrived at the valley where the Blessed Land election had been held.

The destructive power of high-level martial artists is too great. If a fight were to take place in the Yuan residence, it would probably have to be completely renovated in an instant.

It is worth mentioning that as soon as the three of them left the Yuan family mansion, they met Liang Qing, who had come to report on the matter.

He has been very busy lately because he is about to take over the position of Qinghe County Enforcer.

There will be many things that are unclear, so naturally, one will need to seek help from Yuan Yin.

Upon hearing that Yuan Yin was going to "guide" Mu Yang, he naturally followed out of curiosity.

Firstly, they wanted to know how much stronger Mu Yang had become after so long, and secondly, they wanted to see just how strong a seventh-level martial artist really was.
