Chapter 1082: Bloodline Awakening (Happy Lunar New Year)
If it were merely an ordinary breakthrough, Liu Zixuan naturally wouldn’t be surprised, after all, before his realm was sealed, he could reach the Innate Emperor Realm Second Heaven!
But now, he’s just at the Imperial Realm, how much shock could that bring?
However, when he awoke and checked his body, it surprised him, someone who had weathered countless storms and was a genius-level figure in the Martial Realm.
It’s known that below the Emperor Realm, the main focus is cultivation techniques, body form, and inner strength. These three are established on the foundation of strong meridians, bones, and dantian. Only with sufficiently broad meridians to accommodate more inner strength can one unleash a terrifying strike in battle.
As for body form, it’s crucial to quickly overcome the enemy, as being slower results in injury or death, thereby demanding strong bones.
The dantian is the source of inner strength and the basis of cultivation techniques. If the dantian can’t accommodate much and the techniques aren’t well-integrated, high realms are useless.
The Imperial Realm is the closest realm below the Emperor Realm. Liu Zixuan recalls facing few overwhelmingly powerful enemies when he was in the Imperial Realm, making him invincible in the same realm.
The cultivation technique, body form, and inner strength were certainly outstanding among peers in the same realm. Yet now, he realizes if he were outstanding before, now he’s definitely a monstrous genius.
Because his meridians have now expanded several times wider than before, comparable to his state in the Emperor Realm. Looking at this alone, he might feel as if he’s back at the Emperor Realm!
Regarding bones, the Liu Zixuan of the Imperial Realm Early Stage could withstand attacks from Imperial Realm Middle Stage foes without getting hurt. Now, he can face Peak of Imperial Realm foes without batting an eyelid, showing the vast difference.
The most critical is the cultivation technique; from what he learned from his beautiful master and the techniques extracted from the Holy Medical Scripture and later the Nine Dragon Technique, they have now merged into one. He can freely use the technique without previous showiness, needing only a punch and kick in confrontations!
Indeed, this form of technique has relations to the mysterious realm above the Emperor Realm, laying the best foundation for a future breakthrough into that realm.
However, all these aren’t what surprises Liu Zixuan the most.
What leaves him utterly perplexed is his current realm is the Third Layer Realm.
What is the Third Layer Realm?
First Layer: the sealed state of Innate Emperor Realm Second Heaven.
Second Layer: the recently broken-through Imperial Realm Early Stage.
Third Layer: the aura his body currently emanates is the second Martial Artist Realm, Celestial Realm!
Liu Zixuan is well aware that no one can detect the sealed realm, and now, breaking into the Imperial Realm might elude even Innate Emperor Realm experts.
In other words, now any martial artist would view Liu Zixuan as a mere Celestial Realm ant-like martial artist.
This greatly amuses him; he can’t fathom why his realm seems to grow low instead of higher?
If his real strength hadn’t reached the Imperial Realm Early Stage, he might have slammed himself into a wall in disbelief!
Stretching his limbs, a burst of crackling joint sounds fills the air, the sensation of possessing formidable power truly feels awesome!
Liu Zixuan was about to dress and go out, but as he lowered his head, he heard a gentle dragon’s roar in his Sea of Consciousness.
He had been focused on examining his realm, thus neglecting this, as it was because of a dragon’s roar that led to his previous unconsciousness.
Closing his eyes, he directed his mind towards probing his Sea of Consciousness.
What he saw shocked Liu Zixuan greatly.
The prior Power of the Dragon Veins dominating most of his Sea of Consciousness now diminished, coalescing into a bead-like entity, and he sensed that the power had weakened!
Liu Zixuan opened his eyes and furrowed his brows: "Could this strange realm shift be related to the power of the dragon veins?"
Aside from this reason, Liu Zixuan couldn’t think of anything else, as previously, borrowing the Power of the Dragon Veins wasn’t diminishing, yet now it has greatly reduced, forming a tangible bead.
"It seems I must quickly restore Emperor Realm strength to thoroughly explore the Sea of Consciousness."
Liu Zixuan shook his head helplessly, donned his clothes, and walked outside.
Despite Qiqi’s words, Liu Ruyan still worried immensely, and upon seeing him come out, she hurriedly approached: "Are you alright?"
Liu Zixuan smiled: "I’m fine!"
Though Liu Ruyan’s martial artist journey began recently, with the help of elixirs and her beautiful master’s guidance, she’s now a Peak of King Realm martial artist. Previously, she couldn’t decipher Liu Zixuan’s realm, yet she heard it mentioned. Now looking, Liu Zixuan isn’t the Profound Realm Peak he mentioned before but a Celestial Realm indeed!
Immediately, she frowns: "This...how did it drop!"
"Sister, don’t worry." Qiqi approached, taking Liu Ruyan’s and Liu Zixuan’s arms and smiling: "Brother is very powerful now, the Celestial Realm you see is merely outward appearance."
"Qiqi, you can see my realm?" Liu Zixuan asked in shock, for he knew his inner condition, even Innate Emperor Realm experts shouldn’t detect it!
Qiqi shook her head: "Brother has already awakened the family lineage, no one can discern his true strength, just that we’re blood-bonded so I can sense it!"
"Family lineage?" Liu Zixuan heard a novel term!
Qiqi pursed her lips: "Brother, just know it’s the family lineage, don’t ask more, I can’t say."
"Then Qiqi, is your family very powerful?" Liu Zixuan inquired.
Qiqi scratched her head: "I don’t know exactly how strong, but I know I’m the weakest in the family!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Zixuan and Liu Ruyan’s mouths twitched slightly; Qiqi can swiftly defeat monkeys, at least a top-level figure in the Innate Emperor Realm Second Heaven, falling among the top in both Star Sea and World Martial Realm.
Yet she’s merely the weakest in the family!
If this is the case, doesn’t it mean Qiqi’s family can easily obliterate the entire Martial Realm?
"Your words, currently, it seems, I should be the weakest!" Liu Zixuan spread his hands helplessly, pondering inwardly, what nonsense is the Netherworld Hall, if Qiqi’s family is as she says, they could easily crush it!
Moreover, Liu Zixuan understands well, relying on others is no substitute for his own strength, better to abandon that path!
