Chapter 687 - 451: Breakthrough, Grandmaster Realm! (Double-Length) (2)
The Purple Mansion is not as deeply rooted as the Martial Vein, something everyone possesses.
The Martial Art Purple Mansion needs to be nurtured, developed through one’s past Martial Arts Cultivation.
Who knows how much time passed, but Song Changming’s heart and spirit gradually immersed in the Opening Mansion Technique, entering a mysterious and profound state.
As his consciousness focused, Song Changming "saw" a darkness.
The darkness was desolate and primordial, as if the world in its initial state.
Suddenly, a ray of Spiritual Light emerged in the darkness, traversing swiftly and striking him directly.
Song Changming had an epiphany.
The Martial Art Purple Mansion aligns subtly with the Heavenly Dao. Developing the Purple Mansion within is akin to creating the heavens and earth of the world!
If a Martial Artist lacks comprehension, they will face failure at this stage.
However, Song Changming, with a comprehension score of over a hundred, clearly met the requirements for a breakthrough.
Thus, he could continue.
In the darkness, Song Changming gently cupped his hands, holding the ray of Spiritual Light within them.
At the same time, boundless Innate Qi Aura appeared around this Spiritual Light, like layers of hazy starlight bands.
This Innate Qi Aura was his entire cultivation.
Song Changming was aware that, up to this point, everything was going smoothly; he was in the process of opening his Martial Art Purple Mansion!
He formed seals with his hands, his eyes gleaming with divine light, as if glimpsing a bit of the Heavenly Dao’s opportunity.
The next step, he threw himself into the Spiritual Light he had intercepted.
Boom!
In reality, the energy fluctuations on the seated Song Changming suddenly became violent, his aura climbed step by step, and his life force grew stronger, as if about to break through to another dimension and reshape into a whole new life form.
In his Upper Dantian, all of his Innate Qi Aura converged there.
As the Opening Mansion Technique operated like a Divine Fire refining, the Innate Qi Aura was constantly compressed.
In the darkness, Song Changming cast himself into that ray of Spiritual Light.
Buzz!
This step was to shape the Purple Mansion, testing his Martial Tao qualification in the Root Bone aspect.
Dual Spiritual Root Attributes played a particularly important role in this breakthrough process.
Only when the value is high enough can it prove the potential for reaching the Grandmaster Realm.
Soon, in the Upper Dantian, the Innate Qi Aura rapidly contracted, forming a misty purple aura.
The appearance of the Purple Aura signified the greatest symbol of a Grandmaster, the Martial Art Purple Mansion was complete!
The Qi Aura transformed, from gaseous to liquid, merging into the Essence Blood refined by Song Changming.
Golden light shone, and in Song Changming’s Purple Mansion, the first drop of Purple Mansion Essence Blood was nurtured!
The previously somewhat dispersed Purple Mansion, at the moment this drop of Essence Blood appeared, was completely solidified.
In a fleeting moment, Song Changming seemed to hear the sound of the grand path, celestial music wafting.
His aura broke the shackles of the peak bottleneck, becoming more robust and powerful, his life force surpassing any time before.
Soon, the illusions and sounds dissipated, Song Changming returned to his senses, first feeling his own surging and rising life force, filling his heart with joy!
Achieving the Grandmaster Realm, something countless Martial Artists have longed for day and night, he achieved it!
"Truly it is said that fortune lies in misfortune..." Song Changming grinned widely.
If it weren’t for the previous dangerous situations, he wouldn’t have exchanged for his current Grandmaster Realm.
In fact, being in a timed state of Potential Activation, his potential was further stimulated, making the success rate of breaking through to the Grandmaster Realm nearly certain.
In such an opportunity, breaking through was the perfect choice for Song Changming.
Soon, Song Changming also detected that misty purple aura within him.
He knew clearly that it was the Martial Art Purple Mansion he had developed.
Within it was a drop of Purple Mansion Essence Blood, it was the fruit of his breakthrough, like the Heart Core of a Great Demon, this Purple Mansion Essence Blood was also the source of a Grandmaster Powerhouses’ strength!
When Song Changming raised his palm, the Essence Blood instantly sprouted golden light, a Master’s Power brewed in his palm.
As he sent a palm to the sky, the mighty Master’s Power soared upwards, instantly shattering the thick clouds pressing in the sky.
"Look quickly!"
"What’s going on?!"
Many townspeople looked up, startled to find the cloud layer in the sky suddenly had a huge and incredibly clear palm imprint.
As if someone had placed their palm on it.
"Truly strange..."
The townspeople were curious and amazed, though they could not discern further details. However, the select few Martial Arts experts in the city looked solemn, knowing full well that the traces were indeed left by a powerful figure.
"Even an ordinary Innate Powerhouse probably couldn’t do that..."
"That’s right, even the City Guard Leader, or that prodigy from the Li Family, or the reclusive Elder Hu in the southern city couldn’t possibly have such Palm Force!"
"Could there be some great figure in the city?!"
"Why don’t you go and find out? If you can meet them, you might get a great opportunity?"
"Go, go, go, you go find them, I don’t dare. If I accidentally stir the master’s displeasure, I can’t handle a palm like that..."
"Indeed..."
In the mansion, the inner room, Su Qingqing seemed to have been woken up by the sudden surge of energy.
"Young master!"
Su Qingqing sat up abruptly, nervously looking around.
Her memory lingered on treating Song Changming’s wounds. Suddenly awakened, she found herself alone in the room, feeling inexplicably anxious.
Fearing that something had happened to Song Changming again.
She turned over and got up, her steps still a little weak, and her forehead was sweating, yet she staggered to push open the door.
The dazzling sunlight hit her face, causing Su Qingqing to instinctively squint her eyes.
When she adapted to the light, she saw in the courtyard, a tall and slender figure stood with its back to her.
Sunlight shone on the figure, as if cloaking it in a thin layer of golden gauze, besides which an extraordinarily powerful energy flowed within Song Changming’s body, causing Su Qingqing to feel inexplicably heart palpitations.
She had only felt this in those Martial Arts Grandmasters of the Human Race!
Now, her own young master also bore this powerful energy.
Could it be?!
"Why don’t you rest a bit more after waking up?" Song Changming turned slightly, looked at Su Qingqing, and smiled gently.
Seeing the young master’s smiling face under the sunlight, Su Qingqing’s heart inexplicably seemed to skip a beat, and she stood dazed.
"What’s wrong?" asked Song Changming.
"No, nothing, just haven’t seen the young master in so long, I missed you..." Su Qingqing said the last three words extremely quietly, with a hint of embarrassment.
"You’ve spent a lot of energy healing me, come over and eat something." Song Changming said, standing by the stone table in the courtyard.
Only then did Su Qingqing notice the table full of delicious dishes made from high-level ingredients, the aroma enticing her to subconsciously touch her stomach, making her mouth water.
Indeed, Song Changming was right; once she woke up, she felt very hungry, extremely hungry.
What Song Changming prepared was truly timely.
"Thank you, young master." Su Qingqing rushed to the table, stuffing her cheeks until they were plump.
Song Changming sat nearby, sipping lightly on the wine.
This cup of sake after a great advancement in cultivation tasted truly indescribable.
"Aren’t you eating, young master?" In her busy eating, Su Qingqing noticed that Song Changming had no intention of picking up the chopsticks and couldn’t help but ask.
With her mouth full of meat slices, her words were quite muffled, but luckily Song Changming could understand her.
"I’ve already eaten." Song Changming said.
Su Qingqing nodded and continued eating.
"Young master, did you cultivate to the Grandmaster Realm?"
Song Changming was consolidating his recently achieved Grandmaster Cultivation when suddenly Su Qingqing blinked her eyes twice, found a chance to ask.
"Hmm, thanks to your help in healing my injury, I was able to break through so quickly." Song Changming replied straightforwardly, without intending to hide it.
Saying it was thanks to Su Qingqing wasn’t wrong at all.
If not for Su Qingqing overdrawing herself to heal him, given his previous severely injured state, breaking through to a Martial Arts Grandmaster would surely have affected the breakthrough’s success rate.
If he had forcibly broken through with an injured body, the success would be uncertain.
For this Martial Arts Grandmaster level, Su Qingqing indeed played a significant role in assisting him.
"Young master, you’re amazing!" Su Qingqing said, her face flushed, eyes full of admiration.
She was no longer the naive child of the past, now she knew what it meant for a Human Race Martial Arts Grandmaster at less than a hundred years old.
If it were someone else, she might not believe it, but for her young master, she trusted him unconditionally.
