Chapter 369 - Threaten

Blood surged in each meridian like a rushing river, producing a robust rustling sound. Through fifty days of tempering, Liu Wuxie's body had reached a flawless state. He focused on using spiritual energy to transform his body, tempering even the smallest meridian.

Cracking sounds came from the world in his dantian as it began to expand rapidly. The abyssal realm, snowy mountain, and volcano had doubled in size.

The mysterious tree covered the sky, firmly occupying the center of this world. The Sky Devouring Divine Cauldron had long become one with this world, an inseparable part of it.

"Prepare to make a breakthrough!" Liu Wuxie's true essence was like a stallion rushing through his strengthened meridians with a force comparable to the pinnacle of the Heavenly Dipper Realm.

The Heavenly Dao Book flashed within his golden soul sea, and the Ghost Eye had evolved to an incredible level. Liquefied spiritual energy began to flow underground, filling the black cultivation chamber.

"What's going on? Why does it seem that the spiritual energy has become thin?" Complaints echoed from the other cultivation chambers. The underground spiritual vein had limited spiritual energy, and Liu Wuxie's excessive absorption left less for everyone else.

Enraged roars could be heard coming from the surroundings. Many people were in the critical moment of making a breakthrough and had no choice but to make up for the decreased spiritual energy with spirit stones.

Liu Wuxie was immersed in his world, and his divine sense sank into his body to examine every inch of his bones, which were covered in spiritual runes.

"What terrifying bones. When I reach an immortal level, each bone of mine can probably be forged into a peerless, immortal artifact," Liu Wuxie muttered.

His body had transcended the category of ordinary humans, resembling a formidable weapon or even an entire world unto itself. Even his hair was etched with spiritual runes.

Everything seemed normal outside, but Liu Wuxie discovered small passages deep within his hair, filled with his true essence. His hair had formed its own space, a phenomenon he had never encountered before.

As the aura he gave off grew stronger, a crack appeared on the bottleneck to the ninth level of the True Core Realm.

His true essence manifested into a golden dragon, charging at his bottleneck. The gate shattered, with his true essence pouring into the new world. His true essence began to purify, increasing the speed of drawing spiritual energy from underground.

The two hundred thousand spirit stones around him exploded, converted into pure liquified spiritual energy, and poured into his body. His cultivation began to rise, heading straight for the Heavenly Dipper Realm.

The world in Liu Wuxie's dantian began to transform with traces of heavenly dipper power pouring into the world in his dantian.

Converting his true essence into heavenly dipper power was a gradual process, something that could be accomplished over time.

Thanks to the Desolate Devouring Art, Liu Wuxie's conversation speed was breakneck. In the blink of an eye, the world in his dantian began to be filled with heavenly dipper power, and it was a few hundred times stronger than ordinary true essence.

This was the power of the Heavenly Dipper Realm that the True Core Realm couldn't compete with.

The two hundred thousand spirit stones were exhausted but couldn't satisfy his need. He took out another hundred thousand spirit stones and converted them into spiritual energy to fill his dantian.

The speed of Liu Wuxie's ascension gradually slowed down. He spent three days before stopping in the pinnacle True Core Realm, just one step away from the Heavenly Dipper Realm.

Although he hadn't yet reached the Heavenly Dipper Realm, his true essence had already been nurtured into Heavenly Dipper power.

He was the top contender for the competition, with a high chance of winning and advancing into the inner sect as the champion.

Duan Hong and Wen Haoran stood there, exchanging glances, seeing the same answer in each other's eyes.

"You, come here!" Duan Hong called out. Su Ji and his other lackeys ran over quickly.

"Senior Brother Duan Hong, what orders do you have?" Su Ji said with a flattering expression. Duan Hong would become an inner disciple in a few days, so he naturally had to get on his good side.

"Go investigate who has a close relationship with Liu Wuxie and bring him here. If Liu Wuxie refuses to leave the cultivation chamber, kill his friend." Duan Hong's eyes shone with murderous intent. He was convinced that Liu Wuxie had at least a few friends in the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, and he could threaten Liu Wuxie as long as they captured one.

"Leave it to us. We'll ensure it's properly done!" Su Ji was already losing his patience and wanted to get Liu Wuxie out so he could find a cultivation chamber for himself.

After making arrangements, Duan Hong and Wen Haoran left for the other cultivation chambers. Such minor matters didn't require their concern, and it was better to let Duan Hong’s lackey handle them.

Weng Li was cultivating in a certain courtyard in the Terrain Summit Peak. He had been in the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion for two months and finally reached the sixth-level True Core Realm.

He came from the mundane world with scarce resources and had not received any systematic training since childhood, so he had a slim chance of standing out in the cultivation world.

Suddenly, the door opened, and Su Ji and three youths barged in. They had found this courtyard after learning that Liu Wuxie had a close relationship with another cultivator from the mundane world.

"Who are you guys? Why did you come here?" Weng Li glared at Su Ji's party.

"Do you know Liu Wuxie?" Su Ji asked coldly. Su Ji didn't regard Weng Li highly, considering he was only at the sixth level of the True Core Realm.

"You guys are friends with Brother Liu?" Weng Li asked with a frown. Even if they were friends with Liu Wuxie, it wasn't pleasant for them to barge into his courtyard by breaking the door.

Weng Li already knew Liu Wuxie had managed to obtain over thirty thousand points, but he never sought the latter out. After all, despite being from the mundane world, they didn't have much relationship.

"You're the one we're looking for then. Take him!" Su Ji gave the order. The three people behind him grabbed Weng Li by his shoulders and carried him out.

Weng Li couldn't resist as the four were in the pinnacle True Core Realm. This meant Weng Li could only be forcibly taken away.

The four carried Weng Li through the mountain paths and reached the cultivation chamber area. Weng Li had no right to be here because he had only completed one mission in the past two days, thus earning twenty points, which he had exchanged for spirit stones.

Weng Li was thrown in front of the cultivation chamber. Blood trickled down his forehead, and Su Ji kicked him before he could wipe it. It didn't stop there because Su Ji stepped on his chest, rendering him immobile.

"You go inform Senior Brother Duan Hong while I force Liu Wuxie out," Su Ji ordered another person to notify Duan Hong. He turned to the black cultivation chamber and yelled, "Liu Wuxie, I know you can hear me. Your friend is in my hands, and you have ten breaths to come out, or I'll kill him!"

Su Ji's voice echoed loudly. Although the cultivation chamber was sealed, sounds could still be heard from inside when they reached a certain volume.

Liu Wuxie's ears twitched, catching sounds from outside. The Ghost Eye penetrated through the gate, and he captured everything outside.
