In the mountains and forests, figures could be seen everywhere. The torches were bright, and the great army of Yuan Zhou had surrounded them until not even a drop of water could trickle through.

"Search carefully!" The black-armored youth ordered. His eyes were sharp and filled with spirit, as if he was going to see through the entire forest and search for traces of Tu Li.

Soldiers pushed forward like a carpet, and large numbers of wild beasts were brutally slaughtered. The howls of wolves filled the air, and the stench of blood permeated the air.

Jiang Yi's current situation could be said to be in complete chaos. There were strong murderous intent lurking everywhere, and if anything went wrong, he would die without a burial place.

He had never felt such a moment of crisis before. When the imperial government was trying to encircle and annihilate the Dream Soul Sect, he had the Pure Yang Symbol Sword left behind for him by the master Meng Qianqiu. He could have avoided danger, but now, he could only rely on himself.

"We can't panic. We'll definitely escape!" From his initial panic to his forced calmness, Jiang Yi had endured all of the torture in his heart.

His gaze swept past the torches that were approaching him, then he turned around and madly ran into the depths of the forest.

Not long after, he discovered a hidden place. A huge rock stood tall and covered in moss, and the surroundings were covered with dense brambles. From the outside, he couldn't see anything.

He immediately crawled in and sat down under the huge stone made of moss. Then, he took out the "White Bone Pill" as a sharp light flashed in his eyes: "This might be my chance of survival!"

The more powerful one was, the more chances he would have. With his current cultivation level, there was no way for him to escape. Thus, the only way for him to survive was to raise his cultivation level.

Fortunately, he had just refined Tu Li into nine "White Bone Pills".

As the pill entered his mouth, the tip of its tongue suddenly bloomed with a spiciness. "White Bone Pill" went down its throat and went straight to its stomach.

BOOM!

Like a volcano that had been dormant for a long time suddenly erupting, the medicinal power of the "White Bone Pill" was released from Jiang Yi's body.

Thump thump thump! Thump thump thump! Thump thump thump!

In that moment, Jiang Yi's heart started to thump hard, his blood was flowing even faster, his bones seemed to have been burnt by flames, releasing waves after waves of pain.

Jiang Yi finally experienced the pain of "going deep into the marrow" as his entire body spasmed while trembling uncontrollably.

"White Bone Pill", using a living person's muscles and bones as raw materials, was equivalent to robbing. The medicinal strength of the pill was naturally incomparably overbearing, causing one to feel unbearable pain.

Some of the disciples of the Nine Yin Sect could not bear the pain and were tortured to death.

However, once they endured it, their cultivation would greatly increase.

The pain continued, Jiang Yi's entire body released a blazing heat, as though he was in the lava of a volcano, almost to the point of being burnt to ashes.

However, Jiang Yi clenched his teeth and endured. In his heart, he was thinking of a blood feud, and it would ease his pain a little.

An unknown amount of time had passed when suddenly, a refreshing feeling could be felt that pierced straight to the heart.

It was all the bones in his body that had begun to produce blood.

This blood was extremely viscous, and as it flowed out, it instantly replaced everything else.

This is the blood of the Thousand Tempering Hundred Refining, Blood Essence!

In that moment, all the injuries Jiang Yi had received were fully healed, and waves after waves of Blood Essence leaked out from his bones.

The blood was like pulp. This was the sign of the completion of the third step of the Foundation Establishment Stage, Vapour Phase. The peak of the base stage.

Yes, at that moment, Jiang Yi endured the pain of death, and finally condensed his blood again, reaching the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage.

Because of this, his strength increased greatly and reached the strength of three Qilins!

Between his hands, power surged as if it could split mountains and shatter rocks, tearing apart tigers and leopards with his bare hands.

He did not stop and continued to swallow the "White Bone Pill". It was as if he wanted to open his meridians, gather spirit energy into smoke, and cultivate to Martial Dao Grandmaster.

Jiang Yi had obtained the《 Nine Yin Secret Art》, he knew a lot of martial arts knowledge, and he had also obtained the most exquisite meridian diagram, the "Primordial Star Map". It was completely possible for him to ascend to the heavens in one step, and cultivate the Martial Dao Grandmaster.

However, opening meridians was a dangerous task. If it failed, one would become a cripple, or even die.

Thus, although the people of this world trained in martial arts, only a few were able to truly cultivate the Martial Dao Grandmaster.

On one hand, there was no meridian flow diagram, and on the other hand, there was a huge risk involved. If there was no absolute certainty, no one would take the risk.

There were not many people like Jiang Yi who had just built their foundation and wanted to open their meridians.

On the path of cultivation, one had to take things step by step. If one was in a hurry to gain something, it would only result in one's cultivation going berserk; it would only backfire.

However, Jiang Yi was forced to such a state, so this was the only way.

However, just as he swallowed the "White Bone Pill" and opened his meridians according to the "archaic star river diagram", a few soldiers suddenly scoured this area.

The thorns were swept away, and a few soldiers immediately found Jiang Yi. One of the soldiers shouted loudly, "Found it, it's here!"

"Kill!" Just at the same time he shouted, Jiang Yi made his move, he leaped up and landed in front of him, with a punch, he unleashed the power of three Qilins.

Clang!

The soldier's helmet deformed and he staggered to the ground, bleeding from every orifice and dying.

Jiang Yi never thought that these people would actually move so quickly to find this place.

The effects of the White Bone Pill had been dissolved and the pain came again. However, the current situation did not allow him to sit down peacefully to open his meridians.

However, with his previous experience, he was mentally prepared.

Jiang Yi's killing spree was extremely efficient, in a single breath. The other soldiers were all startled, they did not expect the other party to be so fierce.

However, Jiang Yi continued to pounce on him without hesitation.

Bang

These soldiers were all at the second step of the Foundation Establishment Stage. Their physical strength was close to one cow's strength, so how could they be his match? In just a few seconds, several people died by his hand, turning into ice-cold corpses.

The Fierce Tiger Body Tempering Fist was made even more superb by him.

At the same time, he was also practicing the "Absolute Yin Finger" of the Nine Yin Secret Arts.

At this moment, the sky gradually turned bright.

The sound of battle instantly alerted the surroundings as countless figures gathered over.

"Bastard, hand your life over!" One of the most outstanding soldiers instantly rushed forward and blocked Jiang Yi's path, then swept his leg across his neck: "Wind Shocking Kick!"

Jiang Yi's body rose, dodging the attack of the kick, at the same time, his right hand shot out like lightning, and instantly pierced through the opponent's temple.

The soldiers that had rushed over after him started to encircle him and kill him.

Jiang Yi's entire body was in pain, but his face did not have the slightest change. The three Qilins of power had caused him to be extremely brave and he was able to move with ease under the encirclement of the crowd.

Soldiers died in his hands one by one, and his Absolute Yin Finger was slowly being used to its fullest extent.
