As a pill entered his mouth, it transformed into a surging vital energy, flowing into his internal organs.
A strong burning sensation coursed through his meridians.
The hidden injuries he sustained in the phantom battlefield were completely healed by the pill.
All that remained was boundless comfort.
Xu Chuan circulated his cultivation technique, beginning to refine this vital energy.
Without any surprise, Xu Chuan easily refined the vital energy, converting it into the Yuan force within his body.
As the Yuan force increased, his martial arts realm also began to break through.
Heavenly King Realm sixth layer.
Heavenly King Realm seventh layer.
Heavenly King Realm eighth layer.
In one go, he directly broke through his martial arts realm to the peak of the Heavenly King Realm ninth layer!
The medicinal power of the three pills was also completely absorbed.
Xu Chuan was now just one step away from breaking through to the Half-Emperor Realm.
Others might have to accumulate for many years at this stage before breaking through.
But Xu Chuan, with the Heaven-Tier Breakthrough Pill, could break through at any time and enter the Half-Emperor Realm!
This was his advantage!
However, the Void Immortal Realm did not allow external Half-Emperor Realm cultivators to appear.
If he broke through to the Half-Emperor Realm, it would be difficult to explain himself when he left.
It would easily expose the news that he controlled the Void Immortal Realm.
If this news were to leak out.
It would be a colossal blunder.
After all, the Void Immortal Realm was regarded by the Xuan Tian Five Domains as a reserve of their own opportunities.
If the top Half-Emperor powerhouses knew that the Void Immortal Realm had fallen into his hands, wouldn't they go mad!
At that time, countless people would come to hunt him down.
Even if he could temporarily elevate his strength to a level comparable to a first-tier Emperor Venerable, he would not be able to withstand the siege of so many strong individuals.
Therefore, before he broke through to the first-tier Emperor Venerable, this news must absolutely not be leaked.
This was also why Xu Chuan did not break through to the Half-Emperor Realm here!
After the breakthrough, Xu Chuan opened his eyes.
Beside him, Ning Youci and Cui Jiang were still refining the medicinal power of the pills.
If nothing unexpected happened, after Ning Youci refined this pill, she should be able to break through to the Heavenly King Realm sixth layer.
She had just broken through before, and her cultivation realm was not yet stable. Taking a pill not only consolidated her original realm but also allowed her to break through one level, which was already quite good.
As for Cui Jiang.
After he finished refining all the medicinal power, he should be able to break through to the Heavenly King Realm!
His accumulation was already sufficient.
He did not disturb the two of them.
Letting them break through with peace of mind.
Xu Chuan arrived at a place in the center of the city.
Other than a stone pillar about waist-high, there was nothing else here.
It seemed out of place with the surrounding environment.
Xu Chuan took out the seal that represented the Two Realms Pass, and even the control of the entire Void Immortal Realm.
He placed it on the stone pillar.
Instantly.
The Two Realms Pass, which was originally silent, seemed to be activated and began to operate with a rumbling sound.
Countless structures were poised for action, rearranging themselves.
With a thunderous noise accompanied by a large amount of dust.
A moment later.
The Two Realms Pass, which had seemed like a declining old man, was once again revitalized.
Sensing the powerful aura emanating from the Two Realms Pass, Xu Chuan's face broke into a smile.
"As expected of a fourth-tier Emperor Artifact, it's on par with the Golden Ancient Hall!"
While sighing, Xu Chuan also discovered that this Two Realms Pass actually possessed a trace of sentience.
It was just a little weak, and could dissipate at any moment.
But even so, this trace of sentience was far stronger than the sentience that the Prison Suppressing Demonic Blade had generated.
"Could it be that the Golden Ancient Hall lacks sentience for this reason?"
Thinking of the origin of the two Emperor Artifacts that True Martial Emperor had told him before, Xu Chuan had some speculation in his heart.
Ever since he obtained the Golden Ancient Hall, it had lacked the sentience expected of a fourth-tier Emperor Artifact.
Originally, Xu Chuan thought it was because True Martial Emperor was besieged by foreign powerhouses, and the sentience of the Golden Ancient Hall was scattered.
Now it seemed that was not the case!
Perhaps when True Martial Emperor obtained the Golden Ancient Hall, this powerful fourth-tier Emperor Artifact did not possess sentience.
As for where its sentience went?
The result was obvious.
The extremely weak sentience before him should be it.
Only this could explain why this trace of sentience remained so powerful even in such a weakened state.
Xu Chuan took out the Golden Ancient Hall.
Instantly.
The extremely weak sentience let out a burst of joyful and excited emotions.
This further confirmed Xu Chuan's guess.
However, at his current strength, Xu Chuan was simply unable to fuse it back together and restore it to the level of a sixth-tier Emperor Artifact.
With a wave of his hand, the entire Two Realms Pass shrank instantly.
It flew into Xu Chuan's hand.
Looking at the city, which had shrunk by an unknown number of times, its uses also flooded his mind.
The Golden Ancient Hall leaned towards personal protection, possessing powerful suppression capabilities.
The Two Realms Pass, on the other hand, could protect a large number of humans, possessing strong defensive capabilities and the use as a military encampment.
In the event of a major battle, the Two Realms Pass could instantly establish a massive arsenal on the front lines for campaigning.
True Martial Emperor had considered this point, which was why he had taken the Two Realms Pass instead of the Golden Ancient Hall.
"Very good!"
"With this Two Realms Pass, the Taiyi Holy Land will be like an iron bucket!"
Xu Chuan was very satisfied with the use of the Two Realms Pass.
This would be of substantial help in the upcoming battles.
Even if Xu Chuan was not present, as long as the Two Realms Pass was deployed, the Taiyi Holy Land would be impregnable.
The situation where the Taiyi Holy Land was breached and countless disciples perished, as depicted in Elder Xue Sanjian's script, would never happen again.
Xu Chuan could also fight with all his might, without worrying about the rear being in chaos!
Even if an Emperor Venerable realm powerhouse were to attack, as long as they were not a third-tier or above Emperor Venerable, they would not be able to break through the defenses of the Two Realms Pass!
Just as Xu Chuan was putting away the Two Realms Pass, Ning Youci and Cui Jiang also completed their breakthroughs.
"Senior Brother Xu, I've broken through to the Heavenly King Realm sixth layer!"
Ning Youci said happily to Xu Chuan.
This trip to the Five Domains Grand Competition was undoubtedly a huge gain for her.
Not only did she see Xu Chuan, but her cultivation had also directly broken through to the Heavenly King Realm sixth layer!
The speed of this breakthrough was simply terrifying!
Even Ning Cangtian would be astonished if he saw it.
"Your Highness, I have not failed in my mission!"
Cui Jiang respectfully cupped his fists.
As Xu Chuan had expected, he had also broken through to the Heavenly King Realm first layer.
Although he was not considered very strong compared to other prodigies, he himself was very satisfied.
Without Xu Chuan, he would have been eliminated long ago.
How could he be like now, not only having broken through his cultivation but also having obtained a large number of points!
He estimated that with his current number of points, competing for the top three would be no problem!
"Good."
Xu Chuan nodded and replied.
"Since you have both finished breaking through, let's go!"
Xu Chuan continued.
His next target was the wisp of chaotic origin hidden within the Void Immortal Realm.
He was determined to obtain this wisp of origin!
