My transformation into a beautiful girl started with a hemorrhage.

Tiandaozi sighed bitterly.

Hui never expected that the real reason why Tiandaozi, who was rumored to have killed countless people and was tired of the world, had gone into seclusion in the mountains was actually this.

What happens if one's cultivation level drops from the Celestial Realm?

"If the foundation of one's Dao collapses, the most serious consequence is death and the dissipation of one's Dao; the least serious consequence is the complete dissipation of one's cultivation." At this point, Tiandaozi looked at Huidao and said, "Therefore, in this era, the Innate Realm is actually the best state, as it allows one to use both internal force and true qi."

"That's it!"

Hui never expected that the Celestial Realm, which was revered by countless martial artists in this world, was actually a huge pitfall, and whoever entered it would suffer!

Chapter 243 Dragon Vein

······

Afterwards, Tiandaozi took one last look, his face filled with loneliness.

He knew that once a genius like Deng Hui died, the martial arts of this world would decline even further.

"Alas, the path of martial arts is now lonely..."

After saying that, Tiandaozi broke the sound barrier with a "boom," creating a wave of air, and shot into the sky like lightning, flying into the distance. In less than a few breaths, he disappeared from everyone's sight.

When Hui confirmed that Tiandaozi was already far away, her entire body was filled with subhuman particles, all the damage on her body was reset and disappeared, and even her depleted true energy was replenished to a full state. The black true energy on her body condensed again into a plain dress covering her entire body, concealing her body.

"Now, it's time to see if the dragon vein is really as I thought..."

After thinking it over.

Hui leaped into the sky, found a direction, and with a "whoosh," soared away.

······

Outside the battlefield.

Everyone was boasting about it.

They witnessed the entire battle, marveling at the power and brilliance of the innate experts, yet now feeling a sense of melancholy.

They never imagined that the final outcome of this earth-shattering battle would be so tragic, that they would all perish together.

"Alas, after this battle, there is a severe shortage of innate martial artists in the entire world!" sighed a wandering cultivator.

···

However, his words, though spoken unintentionally, were taken to heart by the listeners, instantly awakening the leaders and elders of the eight major sects.

They just saw that although Tiandaozi appeared, he did nothing and turned away to continue his life of enjoying nature, ignoring the mundane world.

After Tiandaozi left, Huizun also left soon after. Having used the Guiming Battle Technique, she was destined to have little time left.

They believe that Huizun may have gone to find a beautiful place with clear waters, green mountains, and blooming flowers to be his final resting place!

Therefore, after today's battle, the strongest fighting force in the entire world will be the Grandmaster.

The members of the eight major sects quickly communicated through their internal energy and soon understood the situation: In this world, more than half of the grandmasters of the Xia Dynasty had been affected by this battle and died, while the grandmasters of the eight major sects had been preserved the best.

The balance of power in the world has been completely disrupted!

"It's time to collect the debt from the Xia royal family from four hundred years ago," a sect leader said.

"Enough with the nonsense. Let's first hold back the remaining grandmasters in the capital. Then, Lord Yun Guan, you should mobilize all the martial artists from the eight major sects to form an alliance and overthrow the world," suggested the head of the Tianji Sect, the leader of the eight major sects.

"I second that! But how should the dragon veins be allocated?" someone asked, voicing the question on everyone's mind.

"How about we discuss this after we obtain the dragon vein?"

"Well, yes."

I second that!

I second that!

···

"Alright, let's clean up the imperial court's lackeys around here first."

······

"Your Highness, Your Highness! It's dangerous here. You must leave immediately. I'll handle the aftermath."

Xiao Lao, standing beside Xia Yuxuan, stared intently at the eight major sects that had come with ill intentions not far away, and whispered a reminder.

After a while, Xia Yuxuan snapped out of his reverie, suppressing the jumble of thoughts in his mind. He glanced around and immediately understood his predicament.

He may not be as enthusiastic about the throne now, but that doesn't mean he wants to die here.

"Old Xiao, I'm entrusting everything to you."

After saying this, Xia Yuxuan no longer concealed his first-class martial arts skills and instantly fled backward.

Where are you going?

"Your opponent is me!" Elder Xiao shouted, stopping the eight masters from the major sects who were about to kill Xia Yuxuan.

A fierce battle ensued.

······

Yelü Yi, the second prince of the Northern Liao, who had been barely noticeable until now and had been hiding far behind, was now filled with excitement.

Originally, he came to participate in the Xia Kingdom's coronation ceremony not only to watch the excitement, but also to investigate the true strength of the Xia Kingdom's innate martial artists.

Although the Liao Kingdom's cavalry dominated the north, they dared not move south. The fundamental reason was that the Xia Kingdom not only had more martial artists than them, but also had innate martial artists.

Their Liao Kingdom had no innate experts, only grandmasters.

The terrifying scene of a single innate martial artist from the Xia Kingdom slaughtering 100,000 of their iron cavalry hundreds of years ago still chills them to this day.

Yelü Yi witnessed the battle between innate martial artists today, and he is still trembling all over.

'That's terrifying!'

'This is a martial artist! He's practically a living god!'

He could finally understand the despair he felt when his Liao cavalry, numbering over 100,000, marched south hundreds of years ago and faced innate martial artists.

This is a gap that cannot be bridged by numbers, equipment, or morale.

At that moment, he suddenly understood why the previous emperors of their Liao Dynasty had always been so wary of going south.

but,

The innate martial artist who was pressing down on them is no longer there.

Yelü Yi never imagined that the Xia Kingdom's coronation ceremony would escalate to this point, first with a battle between grandmasters, and then with a legendary battle between innate experts.

"The Xia people love internal strife. Now that all the Innate Realm experts are dead, and a large number of Grandmasters have also perished, and they even intend to continue fighting, this is a golden opportunity! Heaven has decreed that my Liao Kingdom will prosper!"

'When we annex the Xia Kingdom, our Liao Kingdom will surely be able to cultivate its own innate talent, and at that time…'

Thinking of this, Yelü Yi pictured Hui.

When Hui appeared as a dancer, he began to covet her, thinking about how to get her from Emperor Xia. However, later, Hui somehow became a master of innate cultivation, and only then did he suppress his filthy thoughts.

but,

'If I could become the emperor of Liao and cultivate the innate martial artists of my Liao kingdom…'

'At that time, we might as well try to bring that beautiful figure into our harem.'

Thinking of this.

"Gusai, let's go back to China immediately."

“Yes, Second Prince,” said a burly man beside Yelü Yi.

······

In an instant, the world was in turmoil.

And on the other side,

Hui also arrived at the Valley of Burial Gods.

This is a very rare inland basin, but it is barren and desolate, with endless yellow sand and brown soil as far as the eye can see, like a large scar on a person's body.

Looking down from the air, one can see that the Burial Valley is a circle with a diameter of several hundred kilometers. Its outermost sections are connected end to end, forming a series of steep and rugged ring-shaped peaks that encircle the entire small basin.

"That's right, this is it. According to Xiahou Dun's memory, beneath this desolate yellow earth lies the ancient ruins that the Xia Dynasty concealed as the 'Dragon Vein'—the Nine Heavens Capital Yin Demon Array."

Moreover, this is a grand formation that has been running for 100,000 years and is still functioning today!

According to Xiahou Dun's memory records.

When Xia Yuyu, the founding emperor of the Xia dynasty, passed by the Valley of Burial Gods, he accidentally discovered its secret.

It turns out that when Xia Yuyu was just an ordinary person, he passed through the Valley of Burial Gods and accidentally stepped on quicksand, fell into a crack, and was stuck after falling for an unknown amount of time. His whole body was covered with wounds, and true energy entered through his wounds and began to corrode every corner of his body, inside and out.

But he didn't die. Instead, he activated his Ancient Battle Body, adapted to the true qi, and leaped from an ordinary person to a Xiantian martial artist, emerging out of nowhere and seizing the world.

At that time, Xia Yuyu had no idea what was beneath the Burial Valley.

Therefore, Xia Yuyu spent the rest of his life secretly studying this crack.

Initially, he intended to send people into the deepest part of this fundamental rift to see what was going on. However, when they descended to 5,000 meters, they were attacked by a mysterious force. This attack directly targeted a person's mind, and even the true energy of a Xiantian martial artist could not defend against it. After countless ordinary people and martial artists died, and even a Xiantian martial artist died without gaining anything, the Xia royal family gave up on continuing to send people into the rift.

However, he did not give up.

He believed that such a massive site must have been documented in other sites as well.

After consulting countless historical records, he finally learned what lay beneath the Burial Valley of Gods: the ancient miracle—the Nine Heavens Capital Yin Demon Array.

He also unearthed a hidden piece of history from ancient times:

In the ancient times, that is, 100,000 years ago, after all the warriors of that time boarded starships and left this region, there were 100,000 years of history.

Although the true energy of heaven and earth dissipated at that time, the amount of Qi was very abundant. Therefore, many ordinary people entered the martial arts path based on the cultivation manuals that these martial artists did not take with them or forgot to take with them. At that time, they could cultivate to the Dao Foundation Realm, and those with extraordinary talents could even reach the realm above the Dao Foundation Realm.

However, these later generations of martial artists also learned about the hopeless future of this region through the records left by martial artists from the ancient times.

Unable to emulate the ancients by creating starships to leave this place, they can only fend for themselves here.

At that time, someone happened to discover the Guiming Battle Technique from ancient ruins.

This made martial artists at the time realize for the first time that a person's soul truly exists and possesses such powerful energy.
