Chapter 1: Whose Scenery is Whose!

  It wasn't until two hours later that Ye Xuan had recovered a bit of his physical strength, moved his body slightly, and finally had the energy to open his eyes.

  "Have you adapted yet?" The old man in black asked again.

  This time, Ye Xuan had the strength to speak and slowly said: "I can clearly feel that the True Qi Lock is in my body and has fully adapted. It should be what you said, merging into my body. However, this True Qi Lock in my body suppresses my True Qi, and I basically can't use even one-tenth of my usual True Qi!"

  He was suppressed by the Seal of True Energy and even if he were to use the Green Imperial Sword Technique, it's unlikely that he could defeat a Brain God.

  "Hey, take this jade slip! This is the method to unlock the true energy lock. You'll recite the incantation later and stimulate your true energy to unlock it. Then, see how strong your true energy will become!" The black-robed old man said with a smile.

  As they spoke, a jade slip emitting a faint green glow had already appeared in Ye Xuan's hand.

  Ye Xuan took down the jade slip and looked at it with both eyes. The method of urging the true energy on this jade slip was completely memorized.

  Following the method on the Jade Slip, Ye Xuan stirred up the true energy within his body.

  "The First Lock..."

  "Open!"

  Splash!

  The true energy lock in his body suddenly opened, and at the moment it opened, the true energy inside him surged out like a tide.

  The majestic aura is many times stronger than the Seal of True Energy before it was unsealed!

  "This..."

  Ye Xuan was slightly startled.

  He could only feel that his true energy was much stronger than before.

  Awesome!

  Much stronger.

  Although he was just Wu Xuan's Feitian position.

  But once again against that Wu Tong, he felt that this time's self, even if not wearing the purple bamboo Daoist robe, could completely handle the early-stage Wu Tong!

  "The seal of true energy was opened, and my true energy actually became so much stronger!" Ye Xuan exclaimed in surprise.

  "That's natural!" The old man in black robes laughed and said, "This is only the tempering of one lock, when all twelve locks are completely locked onto your true energy, you will find that when you unlock each lock of true energy, what kind of powerful strength will burst out!!"

  Ye Xuan nodded slightly.

  Although the True Qi Lock suppresses the Cultivated Qi inside the body, greatly reducing one's strength, when it is suddenly released, the strength will explode to an unimaginable extent!

  The old man in black said, "However, this True Qi Lock cannot be opened for a long time. It only needs to be opened when you are fighting. For most of the time, you need to close the True Qi Lock and suppress it through tempering."

  "Why! If it's always closed, won't its power be greatly reduced!" Ye Xuan couldn't help but ask.

  Always open, his strength soared, isn't it better?

  But the next moment, he felt that asking this question was too stupid.

  The old man in black robes pointed at Ye Xuan and said, "Just now you seemed quite clever, but how did you become so foolish all of a sudden? I'm asking you, when your True Qi Lock hasn't been released, can your strength reach that of an ordinary Flying Heaven cultivator? It's like lifting a huge boulder. Although you've lifted it for half a day, after putting it down, you feel like you're running very fast. But can you really run as fast as when you weren't lifting the boulder in the first place?"

  "Can you guarantee that you can run faster than before while carrying a big rock?"

  Ye Xuan was taken aback and lost his smile, saying: "I understand now!"

  The lock of true energy has been suppressing the true energy in the body all along, and the true energy in the body will become stronger.

  The human body has no limits.

  A person can run two zhang with one breath before lifting a huge stone.

  After lifting a huge boulder, he can still run two zhangs in one breath. When putting down the big rock, he will run even faster!

  Man has no limits, and so does true energy.

  The old man in black said, "You are now at the Flying Heaven rank. The True Qi Lock has been suppressing your true energy all along, which can guarantee that you will continue to refine your true energy. After a long time, even if you still use the True Qi Lock to suppress your true energy, you will have the normal strength of the Flying Heaven rank. Only when you unlock the True Qi Lock will you be truly powerful. Now you've just merged with the True Qi Lock and are far from it."

  Ye Xuan nodded slightly.

  "But you should enter the Yuanyuan realm as soon as possible now! I think you have already reached the limit of Feitian rank, entering the Yuanyuan realm is almost a sure thing!" The black-robed old man said with a smile.

  "Entering the state of Yuanyuan?" Ye Xuan said: "Good!"

  He had long wanted to enter the solid yuan boundary, but was pulled into this secret room by this old man and suffered such hardships.

  Entering the state of solid yuan, the true energy lock can still have a tempering effect.

  Ye Xuan's heart was clear, these twelve locks of tempered air were absolutely a treasure.

  That great ability, also known as the true form of this black-robed old man, is 'Yun Di'. He must be a transcendent genius, otherwise, how could he have conceived and implemented such a profound and mysterious technique like the Forging Air Method.

  Forge your spirit!

  Never heard of it.

  However, this Cloud Emperor can be thought of.

  Although I suffered hardships and almost died this time, it was worth it to get these twelve locks of tempered air.

  At this moment, the black-robed old man smiled strangely and said: "Letting you enter the solid yuan realm is because of the twelve locks tempering energy. During the solid yuan period, two more true energy locks need to be merged, one in the early stage of solid yuan and the other at the peak of solid yuan!"

  Ye Xuan just slightly furrowed his brow.

  He was not afraid.

  On the contrary, some have only that surprise from their heart.

  He is looking forward to it.

  In the early stages of Gu Yuan, you can still infuse a True Qi Lock!

  To know, it's just a fusion of one, tempering or starting, when he unlocks the true energy lock, the true energy is enough to burst out with unmatched strength. If you merge into the second, third, and unlock the true energy lock in succession, your strength will be strong to what extent.

  Unbelievable!

  All the more...

  The highest is twelve strokes.

  He couldn't forget the pain and suffering of being locked in the True Qi seal, but compared to these, he yearned even more for actual power.

  This desire has been gradually increasing since knowing the strength of the Jiangdong Liu family.

  "Break through the Yuan Boundary!"

  With that thought in mind, Ye Xuan closed his eyes.

  The spiritual energy in this secret room is almost identical to that of the deepest part of the Spiritual Pulse.

  Ye Xuan thought that this secret room was probably built in the middle of the spiritual vein, but it was hidden by some very secretive seals, so he hadn't discovered the location of this secret room.

  Gradually entering a state of shock.

  ……

  At the same time.

  Inside the Hundred Flowers Pond.

  On the outskirts of Qingyuan Mountain, three to five red-robed disciples were patrolling the area. These three to five red-robed disciples were all masters of the Brain God position, with colorful wings fluttering behind them, facilitating flight and patrol.

  Just at this time.

  Outside Qingyuan Mountain, a powerful aura appeared.

  It's the Yuan boundary!

  "Someone wants to enter Qingyuan Mountain!"

  "He's an expert in the Solid Boundary Realm!"

  Three to five red-clothed disciples were all shocked, and in the next moment, they looked at each other in dismay.

  "Go and inform the elder who is in charge here, I'll take a look at the situation here!"

  "We don't need to ask the elder anymore!"

  At this time.

  A middle-aged man wearing a Taoist robe appeared in front of three or five red-robed female cultivators. The middle-aged man wore a blue Taoist robe, on which were painted cloud patterns.

  "The robe has a drawing of floating clouds, it's Yun Jingzong's person!" The red-clothed female cultivator standing in the front exclaimed.

  A middle-aged man snorted and said lightly: "I'm here to announce the news, you all listen up!"

  His voice suddenly rose several degrees as he spoke these words.

  "Fifteen days later, the three sects of Yun Jing Zong, Bai Hua Chi and Tian Xuan Men will engage in a battle among their disciples. Each sect must send thirty of its most outstanding disciples to participate in this fight. The Sect Masters' Battle will take place three days after the disciples' battle. You must all be prepared!"

  "No, isn't there still thirty days left for the Disciplinary Trial?" the red-robed female cultivator shouted.

  "I, Yun Jingzong, the son of the Sect Master, has successfully entered the late stage of the Solid Origin Realm. To celebrate this matter, I propose to advance the start of the Disciple War. What do you say? The Tianxuan Gate has already agreed, won't the Baifeng Pool be afraid? It's just a difference of fifteen days, if you're afraid, you can also forfeit!" The Daoist robe man sneered.

  "Who says we're afraid!" The red-robed female cultivator said coldly.

  "It's best if you're not afraid. Tell the seniors in your pool about this matter and let them prepare!" The Daoist robe man sneered.

  But he didn't leave after saying this.

  Her eyes fell on the red-robed female cultivator standing at the very front.

  "You're bold and forthright, unflappable in the face of danger, and still manage to stand at the forefront - I like your style. Why don't you come with me? Be my concubine, and I promise you won't be treated unfairly, haha!" The Daoist-robed man laughed loudly.

  "You!" The red-robed female cultivator gritted her teeth.

  The man in Taoist robes sneered and said: "What are you? Get out of here!"

  Having said this, he swung his sleeves and true energy flew out of his sleeves. The next moment, he rushed towards the red-clothed woman.

  The woman in red couldn't react in time and was completely restrained by the Taoist-robed man.
