Invincible Divine Doctor of the Beautiful Lady-Chapter 776 - 750 January Time

Having reached the Ninth Layer of the Innate Realm, continuing to cultivate with spirit stones would yield no results; it would only be a waste.

Using spirit stones to advance is absolutely incapable of breaking through to the Earthly Realm. The breakthrough of a major realm is not that simple. From the Innate Realm to the Earthly Realm is a chasm that has stopped the progress of countless people.

Only by breaking through to the Earthly Realm can one be considered a true expert, truly be regarded as the elite of Myriad Saints Valley, a true disciple, and be genuinely recognized by Myriad Saints Valley, entering a new world.

Without stepping into the Earthly Realm, one’s life would remain mundane.

To put it indecorously, below the Earthly Realm, all are mortals. In the Ancient Martial World, only those in the Earthly Realm can be considered to have truly undergone a transformation and be above others. Wherever they go, they receive respect. Even if venturing to one of the ten Holy Lands, they would be met with courteous treatment.

"Advancing from the Innate Realm to the Earthly Realm is like a fish leaping through the Dragon Gate, a qualitative leap, a simultaneous sublimation of the soul and body. In the Earthly Realm, even the body becomes impervious to knives and guns, and one can catch bullets barehanded. Charging into the ranks of thousands of soldiers, one can move as if in an empty field, easily claiming the head of the enemy commander. In the Earthly Realm, one must let the Immortal Spirit Qi in the body settle down and press it into the Dantian, filling the Dantian with this Qi. Once the Dantian turns into a spring’s eye, you have reached the Earthly Realm."

"To step into the Earthly Realm, the most important thing is to settle the Immortal Spirit Qi into the Dantian. This step is incredibly difficult. Among hundreds, perhaps not one can achieve this."

"And this step is also the test of whether one can step into the Earthly Realm. Now, I must try to take that step," he concluded.

Tangyu mused quietly, and after thinking for a while, he understood how to attempt breaking through to the Earthly Realm and continued his cultivation. Although he did not use upper grade spirit stones this time, the speed of his cultivation was still very satisfying to him. This pace of cultivation was on par with consuming Tempering Spirit Pills. It was as if others were constantly taking Tempering Spirit Pills for cultivation, which implied how terrifying and astonishing this pace was.

Under the operation of the Immortal Nine Heavens Great Technique, Tangyu mobilized the Immortal Spirit Qi within his body, guiding it to settle into his Dantian, but he immediately felt insurmountable resistance. It was as if he was trying to merge two completely incompatible things; the rejection he faced was naturally formidable.

The first attempt ended in a disastrous defeat.

Tangyu curled his lips and shook his head: "Breaking through to the Earthly Realm is indeed very difficult. But no matter how hard, it will not stop my progress. With the help of the Immortal Nine Heavens Great Technique, if I can’t smoothly advance to the Earthly Realm, it would truly be a disgrace and a disservice to my Master’s reputation. With a month of seclusion, I must break through to the Earthly Realm."

Tangyu’s heart turned resolute, setting a firm task for himself. One month’s time to break through to the Earthly Realm.

The task was arduous, but Tangyu’s confidence was unwavering. It’s not terrible to have big dreams; what’s terrifying is not daring to dream at all.

They say, as far as your heart can go, that’s how far you can travel.

Tangyu’s conviction had always been immensely strong.

Time passed, and things remained calm in the Outer Sect, but speculations about Tangyu were not insignificant.

Within a luxurious villa in the Cultivation Area, Liu Sheng sat on an opulent sofa in the living room, savoring the luxurious lifestyle unique to a worldly prince, a goblet of red wine in hand. Next to him stood a man who Tangyu would have recognized if he were present — it was the owner of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion.

Of course, calling him the owner simply meant he was in charge of managing the store and was also a member of the Myriad Saints Hall.

Liu Sheng gently swirled the wine in his goblet: "This is interesting; to be able to produce fifteen hundred lower grade spirit stones at once, and to have the willingness to purchase so many treasures at one go, his resources must be far more substantial than they appear. What kind of unknown secrets does Tangyu hide?"

"Simple background, without any notable origins. His strength upon joining the Outer Sect should have been merely the First Layer of the Innate Realm. Qian Shanxue had a fateful encounter with him. After leaving Holy Sun Town for more than half a month and returning, he seemed to have undergone a complete transformation. His power could match the Ninth Layer of the Innate Realm, owning a large amount of high-quality Healing Pills and the Detoxification Elixir. Moreover, to easily produce so many spirit stones, even his follower Liang Youshan has greatly improved in strength. What sort of heaven-defying opportunity did they come across during their time outside?"

This question also left Liu Sheng in deep contemplation – apart from this possibility, there seemed to be no other.

After a moment of silence, Liu Sheng took a sip of wine: "Regardless, Tangyu is not a simple man, and I feel his potential for development is extremely frightening. Such a character, if we can persuade him, we must do our utmost to do so. If he cannot be persuaded, we must not offend him lightly. Pass down my order, members of the Myriad Saints Hall Outer Sect must not rashly provoke Tangyu and Liang Youshan; try to be as friendly as possible with them."

Elsewhere in the Outer Sect Cultivation Area, inside another villa.

Two men sat there, one with a face flickering with a sinister aura was none other than Dong Zinian. The unsuccessful attempt to severely punish Tangyu in the entertainment district left him feeling extremely uncomfortable, as if he had a bone stuck in his throat.

Standing by his side was a man, the leading figure of the Morning Sun Hall Outer Sect, Zhan Lei.

Zhan Lei spoke with respect: "Brother Dong, according to our current investigation, Tangyu and Liang Youshan must have come across a great fortune outside, which has allowed their strengths to leap forward significantly, and they now possess valuable treasures. Humph, but this Tangyu is truly audacious, to think that if he had joined Myriad Saints Hall or Shocking King Hall, we would have to consider our actions carefully. But the fool is so arrogant and ignorant, rejecting their invitations. Without the backing of a major power, we can deal with him without any scruples," he asserted.

Dong Zinian sneered coldly: "Fools rush in where angels fear to tread, he’s courting death, and no one else is to blame. Indeed, if he were under the protection of Myriad Saints Hall or Shocking King Hall, it would be somewhat difficult. Now, on the other hand, it’s given us a good opportunity. Hmph, I’ve made all the arrangements, just waiting for him to walk into the trap. This time, I will ensure his death."

"Brother Dong is wise, we must slay this child," Zhan Lei said with flattery.

Dong Zinian’s eyes were full of sinister shadows.

Unaware of the attention he had attracted from several important figures, Tangyu focused wholeheartedly on his closed-door cultivation, striving for a breakthrough into the Earthly Realm.

As time elapsed, Tangyu’s comprehension of the Earthly Realm grew deeper. The "Immortal Nine Heavens Great Technique" was truly profound and had nearly enabled him to completely settle the Immortal Spirit Qi within his Dantian, forming a true core. Once the Dantian was formed, it marked his entrance into the Earthly Realm.

"Qi settles in the Dantian, the dragon returns to the ocean, hands clasp one, the Dantian forms!"

Suddenly, Tangyu chanted, and with a piercing cry, a brilliance burst forth from his abdomen, shining radiantly and appearing quite mystical.

Tangyu also abruptly opened his eyes, from which seemed to shoot a sharp gleam, and his entire demeanor underwent a dramatic change.

"Haha, the Earthly Realm, I am truly a heaven-sent genius. It isn’t so difficult to break through to the Earthly Realm, after all. Haha, in just one month, I’ve nevertheless made a breakthrough into the Earthly Realm. Now, I’m truly one of the real experts of the Ancient Martial Realm. Wherever I go, I’ll be an impressive presence. As for the Inner Sect? I have already arrived and find it completely beneath me," Tangyu laughed unrestrainedly, feeling incomparably exhilarated and content, his spirit soaring as if to rival the heavens themselves.

This feeling was indeed too wonderful.

Stepping into the Earthly Realm symbolized a new milestone for Tangyu, indicating he had ascended to a new level, truly becoming a cut above the rest.

This qualitative transformation naturally brought immense joy.

Of course, if Tangyu’s words were to spread, they would probably provoke outrage among gods and men alike, and make him the target of public anger. If breaking through to the Earthly Realm were so easy, becoming an Inner Sect Disciple wouldn’t be difficult. Considering the vast Outer Sect with over twenty thousand disciples, it is uncommon to see even one break through to the Earthly Realm each year, sometimes not even within three years.

The Earthly Realm is difficult, difficult, difficult.

Even many at the Ninth Layer of the Innate Realm spend their entire lives trapped at this threshold.

Tangyu’s ability to break into the Earthly Realm in such a short time, first of all, spoke of his incredible talent; describing him with the term ’heavenly favored’ was in no way an overstatement. Secondly, with his Pure Yang Body, he was naturally more aligned with the Great Dao, making him more sensitive to the heavens and earth, thus his breakthroughs came more easily than others. Thirdly, the assistance of the "Immortal Nine Heavens Great Technique" naturally turned the difficult into the easy.

With these three factors combined, it was unexpected yet reasonable for him to break into the Earthly Realm in a month.

Moreover, Tangyu’s mental fortitude, honed over the years, had also become extremely resilient, allowing him to break through without hinderance.

Tangyu smirked, "Thrilling! Comparable even to the first time I made love with Feifei. The gains from this month of seclusion are colossal. Now, I possess the strength and confidence to confront Dong Zinian. The next time we meet, the tables will be turned; he’ll no longer be able to lord over me. Haha, it’s about time to return to Donglin City. That mysterious force lurking behind won’t find it so easy to target me now."

After his burst of excitement, Tangyu quickly regained his composure.

Breaking into the Earthly Realm was indeed an occasion for celebration, but Tangyu was clear that despite his breakthrough, his power was still not strong enough.

Without reaching the Ninth Layer of the Earthly Realm, one could hardly be considered a true expert.

Though the Dantian had formed, his cultivation could not stop there; he needed to form a Spiritual Spring with the Immortal Spirit Qi to truly stabilize his realm.

Tangyu continued his cultivation and, after expending ten Upper Grade Spirit Stones, finally formed the Spiritual Spring and secured his realm.

With that, Tangyu truly stepped into the First Layer of the Earthly Realm. Even without participating in the Outer Sect competition, he was eligible for direct promotion to an Inner Sect Disciple. Once an Inner Sect Disciple, the status and treatment he would receive would be fundamentally different.

Having joined the Outer Sect for just under two months and already making a breakthrough to the Earthly Realm, if he were to be promoted directly to an Inner Sect Disciple, wouldn’t even the Inner Sect be astir?

Tangyu touched his nose and couldn’t help but smirk, "It’s time to make a name for myself. No need to make a sound unless it shakes the world. That’s the effect that really satisfies."

After gathering his emotions, Tangyu finally emerged from the secret chamber. After a month of seclusion, he saw the sunlight again, which felt so intimate and warm.
