South State, Nine Dragon Mountain.

In the Xiang Family Secret Realm, inside the secret chamber.

Chen Yuan sat cross-legged, surrounded by a faint power of rules, his body continuously thundering, and the roaring sound of a torrential river could be clearly heard from within him.

He was... adjusting his state.

After seeing King of Beiliang, Wei Jinfeng, at Sword Sect Pass, Chen Yuan rushed all the way to South State, scarcely wasting any time, taking only a few short days to travel from the north of Central Plains to the south.

All for the breakthrough!

Although the Half-Immortal Realm was already very strong, with his power even enough to rival the Sixth Realm Immortals, it was still far from enough. He could only use all his means to escape the pursuit of the three Barbarian Gods, let alone confront the Immortal Domain?

Only by becoming a Martial God could he have the power to fight!

Having suffered not insignificant injuries before, an immediate breakthrough was an unwise move. After all, becoming a sacred body was no small matter; throughout history, it was recorded only for Chu's Grand Ancestor.

No one could afford to take it lightly.

He must lift his state to the highest level to give it a try.

Although he was not the Clan Leader of the Xiang Family, having given the position to Xiang Guangsheng, in his eyes, Chen Yuan bore the bloodline of Xiang Qianqiu, and his achievements today surpassed anyone; the Clan Leader could only be Chen Yuan.

Whereas Xiang Guangsheng merely usurped the position, not truly seeing himself as the Clan Leader of the Xiang Family. So, after Chen Yuan spoke, he did not hesitate to relinquish the exclusive secret realm of the Clan Leader to him.

The faint light shone across the entire secret chamber, the bare upper body of Chen Yuan resembled an Immortal God, surrounded by a grand array formed by the finest Primordial Crystals, being incessantly absorbed by him....

...

While Chen Yuan was on his way to the Extreme North Snowfield, the world did not stand still, continuing to pass in noise and clamor. Even the aftermath of the prior destruction of Seven Killings Hall and the fall of Xiang Qianqiu hadn't dissipated entirely.

It could still stir a breeze from time to time.

As for the momentum of the world, the recent period was actually a rare moment of peace, due to Chen Yuan's apprehension toward the Immortal Domain.

Therefore, his army only pushed the military edge to the border of Central State and then halted, even resulting in the current Emperor of Great Jin, Sima Ke, sending letters.

Asking when the king's army would enter the capital, so plans could be made in advance, a grand welcoming ceremony prepared, to spare the disaster of war, to please Chen Yuan.

But Chen Yuan couldn't gauge whether Sima Ke had conspired with Sima Yuande, so the Yan Army remained silent, as if the letter was never received.

In the east, the confrontation between Martial Emperor City and the overseas Wa Nu also reached a strange stalemate, although there was daily slaughter, the Immortal of the Yagyu clan did not appear again.

Jiang He speculated that there might be some conspiracy, and Ye Xiangnan and others were all prepared for a fight, with a large number of Yan Army gathering toward the east.

In the north, the Barbarians Clan began to retreat on the day Chen Yuan left, seemingly not intending to interfere in the Central Plains' chaos, but Chen Yuan believed it wasn't that simple.

He warned Wei Jinfeng to stay on guard, if there were any changes, to inform him immediately.

In the west, due to the Savior Bodhisattva, a fervent struggle of Buddhism had erupted, chaos was everywhere, thus even the offensive from Lanzhou stalled.

For Chen Yuan, this was undoubtedly a favorable situation.

He completely focused his spirit on the breakthrough, intending to use this gap in time to elevate his cultivation to the Six Realms level, entering the ranks of the Immortal Gods.

Ten days later.

In the secret chamber where Chen Yuan was in seclusion and healing, he slowly opened his eyes, the dim secret chamber suddenly alight as if it were daylight, his pupils like stars, holding the vastness of the universe within.

Sensing his state, a light smile curved on his lips, the timing... was about right.

As the heavy doors of the secret chamber opened, Xiang Guangsheng promptly made a fist salute, complimenting with a beaming smile:

"Congratulations, King Yan, on leaving seclusion."

Chen Yuan smiled faintly, nodding, and looked to the left front:

"Senior, please reveal yourself."

As his words fell, the calm void swiftly twisted, and Moluo, in a white monk robe, slowly appeared, with a faint smile on his lips:

"Good."

Moluo's coming was to act as a protector for Chen Yuan, as becoming a sacred body was something no one had experienced, and should it be disturbed, it could be a major issue.

"Let's go."

"Where to?"

Xiang Guangsheng was momentarily stunned, somewhat suspicious.

"Becoming a sacred body."

"Becoming a sacred body!"

Xiang Guangsheng's pupils constricted deeply, being the most trusted Elder of Xiang Qianqiu, he would naturally know what this meant. It could be said that throughout Xiang Qianqiu's half a life, he strove for becoming a sacred body.

And now what he sought all his life was about to come to fruition on the son he most wanted to kill?

Regarding the matter of breakthrough, Chen Yuan did not inform the other, seeing the shock on his face, he merely smiled and began to stride toward the secret realm's exit.

...

Atop Nine Dragon Mountain.

Chen Yuan sat cross-legged in the void, with Moluo standing by his side, watching him, advising:

"Becoming a sacred body is the chasm of a Martial Artist, are you fully prepared?"

"Rest assured, senior, since I've decided to break through, I naturally have some confidence. That others can't achieve it doesn't mean I, Chen Yuan, can't. Aren't realms meant to be broken?"

Chen Yuan smiled faintly, appearing quite confident.

"Indeed."

Moluo, hearing Chen Yuan say this, also smiled knowingly.

The two didn't converse for long, and Chen Yuan swiftly arrived at the center of the nine dragon-shaped mountains, looking up at the void, his gaze instantly sharp.
