Asura Continent

As the saying goes, practice is not a problem. In the blink of an eye, Lu Yang had already stayed in the Six Paths Gate for three years of spring and autumn.

For the past three days, Lu Yang had been cultivating greedily. Zhao Ming also knew that Lu Yang was cultivating diligently and had not once asked him to cook dinner. Starting from the second year, the Fasting Pill lost its effect. Lu Yang continued to cultivate while holding dry rations to replenish his hunger. Strangely, the dantian in his body was still expanding before, but when it reached an unimaginable degree, it stopped.

The most depressing thing was that his dantian was no longer expanding, and the spiritual energy in his body continued to increase. Even after reaching saturation, Lu Yang's cultivation had never broken through. No matter what he did, he just couldn't break through to the second level of the Qi Disciple stage. Indeed, after three years, Lu Yang's cultivation was still at Qi Disciple level 1.

Every month, Lu Yang would swallow the white liquid from the spring once a month. In the end, the spiritual energy in his body was saturated and he was no longer able to raise his cultivation base. Lu Yang had no white liquid in his hands, so he could only swallow it and convert it into spirit energy before releasing it for the Nine Mystical Jade Annulus to absorb.

In these three years, who knew how much energy was stored within the Nine Mystical Jade Wall. This energy could be absorbed into the body at any time.

The Nine Mystical Jade Wall hadn't undergone any changes since three years ago. Lu Yang was fully focused on cultivation and didn't have the time to study it.

That morning, just as Lu Yang was about to go cultivate, Qin Xiong stopped him and passed a bag of things to Lu Yang: "These are the spirit stones everyone has brought back, take them and cultivate! "Oh right, don't go train today. I just heard from my Martial Uncle that something big is happening when the disciples of the Nine Mystical Sect return."

Speaking up to here, Qin Xiong thought of Lu Yang's cultivation and said: "Junior brother Lu, your cultivation is about the same as mine now, right?"

Lu Yang smiled bitterly in his heart and said: "To be honest, I'm still at the 1st level of the Refinement Stage."

"What!" Qin Xiong widened his eyes in disbelief, "You took one month to reach Qi Disciple level 1? You haven't reached the saturation point in these three years?"

"It's already saturated, but I just can't break through." Lu Yang said helplessly.

Qin Xiong frowned and said, "Extend your hand, I want to sense it."

Lu Yang stretched out his right hand and after Qin Xiong sensed the situation, he instantly sucked in a breath of cold air and said in surprise: "Such a big Dantian, it's so much bigger than me. No wonder you can't break through." He also didn't know what was going on with Lu Yang right now. He said, "As long as you continue to cultivate diligently, sooner or later you will break through. How is your cultivation progress with the spiritual energy palm and shield that I taught you?"

"I've already succeeded." These two spells were not difficult to learn and did not require any aptitude. Lu Yang learned them after a few days of practice.

Qin Xiong nodded, glanced at the nearby forest and said: "Come, let's go take a look!"

Just as the two were about to walk over, Zhao Ming and the others came over. Dong Kai asked, "Senior Brother Qin, Junior Brother Lu, where are you two going?"

Everyone knew that after the Sect Leader came, they didn't go to do anything, so they just wanted to find a place to chat for a while.

Qin Xiong did not hide it, they already knew that Lu Yang had reached Qi Disciple level 1, so he said: "I want to check on junior brother Lu's cultivation."

Amongst the crowd, only Zhou Kang and Dong Kai had cultivated a magic technique. The rest of them had not yet cultivated the Circulatory Cycle Revolution. Zhao Ming and the others were extremely excited and quickly said, "Let's go and take a look together!"

Arriving at the forest, Qin Xiong pointed to an ancient tree not too far away and said, "Junior brother Lu, raise the spiritual energy in your body, and strike a palm towards that tree."

Lu Yang nodded and took a deep breath of cool air. He immediately raised his right hand and half of the true energy in his body was instantly sucked out. With a low shout, he threw a palm towards the empty space in front of him. With a flash of white light, a translucent palm condensed from spirit energy flew out. Its speed was unimaginably fast. In an instant, it landed on the ancient tree.

Following that, a loud explosion was heard. It was so loud that it resonated through the horizon and could be heard clearly within a circumference of ten miles.

After the loud explosion, the ancient tree had disappeared. Countless pieces of wood shavings fluttered in the wind. A bottomless hole could be vaguely seen on the ground.

Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned. Zhao Ming said in astonishment, "Damn! Junior brother Lu, isn't your palm strike too abnormal?!"

The rest of the people looked at each other. They knew that the immortal spells were powerful, but they didn't expect it to be this powerful. One had to know that Lu Yang was only at the 1st level of the Refinement Stage, yet he could already unleash this kind of attack. If it was a Foundation Establishment Stage expert or higher, then wouldn't they be able to destroy the world with just a raise of their hand?

Hong Tianyang was extremely excited as he looked at Qin Xiong and said: "Senior Brother Qin, why don't you give me a palm too! "You are at the 3rd level of the Qi Cultivating Stage. That palm should be able to destroy a tree!"

Qin Xiong's expression didn't change much, but his heart surged with monstrous waves. He understood his own situation very well. He had struck out with his spiritual energy palm more than once, but even with all his strength, he still couldn't achieve such an effect! Qin Xiong looked at Lu Yang with a strange expression and couldn't help but ask: "Junior brother Lu, how much Spiritual Energy did you use?"

Lu Yang didn't hide anything and replied honestly, "Half."

"What? Just half of it can achieve such an effect?" Qin Xiong was completely shocked. If Lu Yang used up all his spirit energy, he couldn't imagine what kind of effect it would have.

Dong Kai and Zhou Kang also looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes. The former smiled bitterly and said, "Lu Yang, how do you cultivate?! "We are also at the 1st level of the Refinement Stage, but the power of our Spiritual Energy Palm is not even 10% of yours. Why is that?"

Lu Yang shook his head and said, "I don't know either. I was just practicing according to the method!"

The crowd looked at Qin Xiong, because among them, Qin Xiong knew a lot. If Qin Xiong could not explain himself, they could not understand no matter how much they thought about it.

Qin Xiong was also confused. He didn't understand how to explain this to the crowd. He waved his hand and said, "Don't ask me. I don't know what's going on either." At this point, he paused for a moment before continuing, "Since the spiritual energy palm is so powerful, why don't you use your spiritual energy shield and see what its effects will be."

The method of using the Spiritual Energy Shield and the Spiritual Energy Palm were exactly the same. The only difference was that the hand seals used were different. As long as the Spiritual Energy was channeled into the palm of the hand and then controlled by the Spiritual Sense, it would be executed. After Lu Yang finished raising his Spiritual Energy, he quickly formed a seal and shouted out in a low voice, "Spiritual Energy Shield, appear!"

With that, a translucent shield appeared on Lu Yang's body and wrapped him within it.

Upon closer inspection, there were layers of runes on the shield, reaching up to ten layers.

Qin Xiong's eyes widened as he cried out involuntarily: "Tenth floor, why is there a tenth floor?"

Dong Kai and Zhou Kang were also extremely depressed. The latter forced a smile and said, "Junior Martial Brother Lu, the shield we cast is only a single level. How did you become a tenth level?"

As Qin Xiong thought of something, the astonishment in his heart became even more extreme. He spoke word by word, "There is only one possibility, Junior Martial Brother Lu is at the tenth level of the Refinement Stage, not the first level of the Refinement Stage."

"That's not right!" Dong Kai said with a puzzled expression, "I sensed junior brother Lu's cultivation. He's clearly at the 1st level of the Refinement Stage. What's the explanation for this?"

Just as Qin Xiong wanted to speak, three bell chimes suddenly rang out from the Liuhe Peak. Two were short and one was long.

"Let's go, the Sect Leader Martial Uncle and Eldest Brother are here. Let's go back quickly." Qin Xiong looked at Lu Yang in astonishment. He had a lot of questions he wanted to ask, but he knew it wasn't the only time to speak.

The crowd had just arrived at their residence when two rays of light pierced through the air and landed on the ground in front of them in the blink of an eye.

The two of them did not have much of a change from three years ago. Li Yun Qing's gaze swept across everyone. Suddenly, he shifted his gaze back to Lu Yang. Surprise flashed across Li Yunqing's eyes. Only now did she remember that Lu Yang had just entered Liu He Sect three years ago. She couldn't help but ask, "What's your name? "When did you get in?"

"Reporting to Sect Martial Uncle, Disciple Lu Yang has been in the Liu He Sect for more than three years." Lu Yang replied with a cupped fist.

"Three years, I didn't expect you to reach Qi Disciple level 1 in three years." Not bad, not bad! " Li Yun Qing stroked her white beard as she nodded in satisfaction.

Zhang Haoran's face sank as he gave Lu Yang a meaningful look, as if reminding him not to affect his position within the Six Corporeal Sects.

Lu Yang knew what Zhang Haoran was worried about, so he hurriedly said: "This disciple's talent is too poor, and has the Heaven's End Spiritual Root. No matter how hard I train, I can't compare with Eldest Brother."

"Hmm?" Li Yun Qing's brows tightened as he asked, "You have Heaven's End Spiritual Root?"

"Yes." Lu Yang answered.

Li Yun Qing sighed. Just as she was about to say something, a few rays of light rapidly flew over from the sky.

Although this person was not Zhang Xiaodong, he was someone Lu Yang knew. After everyone landed on the ground, Ye Hongde clasped his fists and said, "The third generation disciple of the Nine Mystical Sect, Ye Hongde, greets the Sect Leader, Daoist Master and the other Seniors."

Li Yun Qing nodded his head and said indifferently, "Apprentice Nephew Ye, why have you waited here?"

Ye Hongde glanced at Lu Yang, then said, "Reporting to Sect Leader, the Immortal Cultivation Competition that occurs once every ten years in the Western Chu Nation is about to arrive. The Nine Mystical Sect has six spots to compete in. "The Sovereign has said that although the Liuhe Sect is a small sect, it is still a subsidiary sect of the Nine Mystical Sect. No matter what, this year we must let the disciples of the Liuhe Sect have a look; this will be of great help to the cultivators of the future."

Hearing this, Li Yun Qing's face darkened as he mockingly said, "You all want to flaunt the might of the Nine Mystical Sect and also want to make the Immortal Cultivation World of the Western Chu Nation mock the weakness of our Liuhe Sect!"

"This ???" Ye Hongde quickly explained, "Sect Leader, as disciples, how could we know the sect head's intention? We are just bringing the message to him."

Li Yunqing coldly snorted and firmly rejected, "Go back and tell your sect master that our Liuhe Sect is not interested. We can't afford to embarrass ourselves like that."

Ye Hongde seemed to have long known about this. He took out a huge package from his Universe Ring and said, "Daoist Yun Qing, the sect head said that as long as you go, this package will be yours. The bag contains many daily necessities, spirit stones and medicinal pills. I believe these things will be of some help to the Liu He Sect. "

Li Yunqing's brows moved slightly. She was indeed tempted, so she asked, "What requirements do you have to participate in the Dao Debate Assembly?"

"The request is very simple. Those under 20 years of age with a cultivation base at the first level of Qi Disciple stage can be added to the list of names and go together with the disciples of the Nine Mystical Sect." When Ye Hongde was talking, he deliberately glanced at Lu Yang, it was obvious that among these requirements, only Lu Yang could meet them.

Li Yunqing gave another cold snort and said unhappily, "Do you think we have someone who meets the standards here?"

Ye Hongde seemed to have rushed towards Lu Yang. He pointed at Lu Yang and said, "I think this Junior Brother meets the requirements. How about we let him represent us in the competition, how about that?"
