The Mystic Martial Hidden Domain had opened again and this time, there were more people than the previous.
There was still less than a year's time before the Stars Ranking Tournament. Some of the concealed prodigies in the various sects couldn't hold themselves back anymore and came to try out the Mystic Martial Hidden Domain.
Yan Qingwu was among them.
Yan Qingwu's age was definitely the youngest among all of them. She was 18 years old and her cultivation wasn't weak either. She was at already at the 5th level of the Earth Realm and her cultivation speed was seemingly superior to most 6-star bone frames, which was even faster than Su Muyu's speed.
Of course, the main reason why Yan Qingwu was able to advance to the 5th level of the Earth Realm was because of her attempt in the Star Road Hidden Domain. With the support of the star road energy, her cultivation was forcefully advanced by one level.
"Was it really him who passed the sixth mystic martial door and entered the seventh mystic martial door?"
In three months, Li Fuchen's achievements were already spread to all the various sects, especially the Heaven Fiend Sect.
As a Heaven Fiend Sect disciple, Yang Qingwu naturally knew about this incident.
But she found it hard to believe that Li Fuchen's innate potential was so formidable.
Towards Li Fuchen, Yan Qingwu had a very complex emotion.
There was admiration, resentment, and gratitude.
Admiration because Li Fuchen was only a 1-star bone frame and yet he was able to come this far.
Resentment because Li Fuchen took advantage of her.
Gratitude because Li Fuchen killed Li Wuxue, which helped her solve the trouble.
Once the Mystic Martial Hidden Domain opened, Yan Qingwu and the various other prodigies entered the Mystic Martial Hidden Domain one after the other.
First mystic martial door.
Second mystic martial door.
…
Fifth mystic martial door.
Yan Qingwu passed the fifth mystic martial door in one go.
When at the sixth mystic martial door, Yan Qingwu was similar to Su Muyu, as she was unable to advance.
There were times when one's age was an advantage.
When one became older, one's innate potential would slowly fade away. While there were some disadvantages in life experiences when one was still young.
"This lass isn't bad. Her innate potential is of a superior grade!" The man with the phoenix eyes was tempted again.
Just like that, Yan Qingwu was chosen by the third Mystic Martial Expert and became his personal disciple.
At the same time, Yan Qingwu and Su Muyu naturally got to know each other.
…
On the third day after the opening of the Mystic Martial Hidden Domain, Li Fuchen's cultivation went smoothly and advanced to the 6th level of the Earth Realm.
Half a year for one level wasn't considered fast or slow.
Especially when Li Fuchen was just a 1-star bone frame.
If it wasn't for the support from the star road energy, he would need at least a year to advance one level.
After all, when one advanced to the later levels of the Earth Realm, it would get increasingly challenging to advance. Without a high-grade bone frame, it was rather taxing to rely solely on the 15th rank of the True Inferno Technique.
After advancing to the 6th level of the Earth Realm, more than half the star road energy from Li Fuchen's body was depleted. The remaining star road energy wasn't enough for Li Fuchen to quickly advance to the 7th level of the Earth Realm anymore.
'If I have the time, I need to go find another star stone and enter the Star Road Hidden Domain again.' Li Fuchen thought to himself.
Star stones were extremely difficult to obtain. Every time a star stone appeared, it would be looted quickly. But if there was an opportunity, Li Fuchen would never let it go.
It seemed like the time accumulated was sufficient and after another three days, Li Fuchen's True Inferno Technique had a breakthrough as well.
From the 15th rank to the 16th rank. It might only be one rank, but the difference was something only Li Fuchen understood.
All those Stars Ranker who had high cultivation levels, which were basically above the 8th level of the Earth Realm, but their mystic class peak-tier technique was at best at the 15th rank. Li Fuchen reckoned that in the entire East Unicorn Continent, among the youth generations, there were only less than ten youths who cultivated their cultivation technique to the 16th rank. That number might turn out to be less than the fingers on one's hands.
Even the Azure Water Sect's Grand Elder, Zhao Wujin was only able to cultivate the mystic class peak-tier technique, the True Azure Water Technique to the 19th rank. Most of the inner sect elders were mostly around the 16th rank as well.
Li Fuchen's current technique rank was already at the inner sect elder's level. He might be at the bottom of all the inner sect elders, but it was already an extraordinary achievement.
After all, Li Fuchen was only 20 years of age now and his cultivation was only at the 6th level of the Earth Realm. Furthermore, he had plenty of fated encounters which would benefit him.
The 16th rank of the True Inferno Technique had a boundless and blazing hot qi. In terms of qi quality, the current Li Fuchen wasn't any inferior to those prodigies at the 7th level of the Earth Realm.
With the advancement of his cultivation, Li Fuchen noticed that his proficiency for the Blaze Devil Sword Art had increased.
If it could be said that a kid was brandishing his sword with the Blaze Devil Sword Art, then it was now a teenager brandishing his sword.
'If I had a Heaven Realm cultivation, I will probably comprehend the Blaze Devil Sword Intent in just a short moment!"
Li Fuchen was very confident in his perception, but it was being restricted by his cultivation.
***
Another three months had passed.
The Mystic Martial Hidden Domain had opened once again.
This time, there were much lesser people that came to attempt. Everyone wanted to pick the right timing and allowed themselves to stay a full year in the Mystic Martial Hidden Domain. But there was only half a year before the Stars Ranking Tournament. Apart from those who didn't have any confidence in themselves, those who did have all entered the Mystic Martial Hidden Domain.
Blaze!
On the peak of the mountain, the withered tree branch in Li Fuchen's hand was bursting with a blaze.
But this blaze didn't damage the withered tree branch and was protecting it instead.
"This is the Blaze Devil Sword intent?" Li Fuchen took in a deep breath.
The Blaze Devil Sword intent was much more mystical than he imagined. It had some subtle traces of heaven and earth mystics.
Crackle!
Wielding the withered tree branch, Li Fuchen cleaved down in a straight line.
There was a deep ravine that appeared in front of him, which went as deep as five meters. The blazing sword intent was surging and exploding, just like a burst of magma.
"Good, you finally comprehended a mystic class high-tier sword intent." The preeminent man was very pleased.
The help he provided to Li Fuchen wasn't considered a lot or a little. But one must always rely on oneself for their cultivation. Others could only provide pointers and were unable to make you immediately comprehend things.
"This is all thanks to Master's pointers." Li Fuchen spoke in a humble tone.
"A majority of it is your own effort. You don't have to be so modest." The preeminent man smiled and said, "Since you have comprehended a mystic class high-tier sword intent, then for the next period of time, you will try and create a mystic class high-tier kill move!"
The preeminent man had harsh demands for Li Fuchen.
A mystic class high-tier kill move was something that even Heaven Realm martial artists were unable to create.
Although with his pointers, the difficulty would be decreased by quite a lot.
"Yes, Master."
Li Fuchen wasn't used to saying no. Since he had already comprehended a mystic class high-tier sword intent, then creating a mystic class high-tier kill move shouldn't be impossible.
Getting started was always the hardest part, but he had already gone through the crucial starting part.
"I believe you can do it."
The preeminent man wanted to see how far Li Fuchen could go.
Of course, if Li Fuchen didn't manage to create the mystic class high-tier kill move, he wouldn't be disappointed either. After all, it was rather too difficult for anyone.
But if Li Fuchen was able to create a mystic class high-tier kill move, he wouldn't mind paying the price to nurture Li Fuchen.
He didn't wish to leave and never be able to see Li Fuchen in the future.
"I hope you can do it!" The preeminent man left.
