Who says having a dantian means you can cultivate? You need dantian fire as well!
I have a bow, one arrow freezes the nineteen states with cold.
I have an arrow that pierces the clouds,...
Lan Hua sighed, "Is the Half-Heaven Realm truly the only place we can go?"
Xiaotian said, "The Half-Heaven Realm is indeed a place worth visiting. Now that the Xuanyu Realm has undergone the calamity of heaven and earth, the spiritual energy will become thin again!"
"And with your current high cultivation level, entering the Half-Heaven Realm will allow you to break through to the Pill God Realm even faster!"
Lan Hua asked curiously, "Brother Hui, what about you?"
Will you come with me?
Xiaotian said, "I won't go for now. You've grown a lot since then, so whether I'm here or not won't make much of a difference to you!"
Lan Hua was somewhat disappointed.
Xiaotian added, "However, your injuries haven't healed yet. I'll stay with you these next few days until you leave!"
"Alright!"
Nalan Ruode said, "There are two proper passages to the Half-Heaven Realm. One is at the end of the North Sea of the Xuanhuang Continent, and the other is on the Death Continent!"
"The Death Continent has been sealed, and that passage has also been closed. As for the North Sea Passage, only cultivators with cultivation levels above the Dan Shen Realm are allowed to enter and exit!"
“I know!” Lan Hua said with a smile.
"There are two more places on the Xuanhuang Continent that you can enter!"
Nalan Ruode nodded, "That's right, they're all controlled by certain forces in the Half-Heaven Realm. Although you can get in, the price is exorbitant!"
"However, Brother Lan, you must be careful. Those two passages are actually interdimensional teleportation arrays. Where they will teleport you to in the Half-Heaven Realm is never fixed!"
Lan Hua nodded, indicating that she understood.
Nalan Ruode said, "I have accomplished my purpose for this trip, and I must return to my family now. The next time we meet will be in the Half-Heaven Realm!"
After saying this, Nalan Ruode soared into the sky and quickly disappeared in the north.
Lan Hua put Baxia down, took a self-made Great Restoration Pill, and began to heal herself.
Five days later.
Lan Hua woke up from her healing process, and her injuries had mostly healed.
In the battle at the Undying Mountain, Lan Hua exhausted her Yuan Power, and both of her Dantian were drained. Even Bo Ling Hong Mei was almost completely depleted of her spiritual power and fell into a deep sleep once again.
However, after this battle, the spiritual energy from the dragon crystal he had consumed last time was completely refined, and his cultivation level rose to a higher level, breaking through to the ninth level of the Danxia Realm.
The two dantians benefited, their energy filling them, which pleased Lan Hua slightly.
Xiaotian exclaimed, "Little Hua, your cultivation has improved again in just five days! That's really strange!"
Lan Hua laughed and said, "It's all because of some opportunities I had before; it was pure luck!"
"Now that your injuries have fully healed, I can leave with peace of mind!"
Before Lan Hua could respond, Xiao Tian soared into the sky and flew towards the direction of the Pill God Palace.
"Damn it, you heartless dog!"
Lan Hua did not rush to leave. He continued his studies in the Misty Valley, wanting to integrate what he had learned and fully heal his injuries before leaving.
Arriving at the small river beside the Misty Valley, they found the place where Zi Yue had found him.
Lan Hua channeled her Yuan Power, and a burst of Qi appeared on the edge of her palm. Then, she chopped down at Xiao He with her palm.
Bang!
A blade of energy suddenly stopped the river from flowing, revealing the silt at the bottom and fish with bewildered expressions.
With a wave of his right hand, the river returned to normal.
"The first move of the Heaven-Opening Palm is the Severing of Rivers. My palm strike truly has the power to sever rivers!"
Lan Hua was very happy with the small success of the "Severing the River" technique. "I just don't know if it can cut off major rivers?"
Lan Hua suddenly exclaimed, "This move can cut off a river, but what would happen if it were used skillfully to strike a person?"
"If the blow is aimed at the limbs or body, can it cut off the flow of blood and qi, temporarily rendering the opponent unable to retaliate?"
Lan Hua decided to study by the river.
He woke up three days later.
"My injuries have healed, and it's time to head to the Half-Heaven Realm!"
Before entering the Half-Heaven Realm, Lan Hua visited many places and bid farewell to all her former acquaintances.
When everyone learned that Lan Hua was about to leave, they were all reluctant to part with her, and some even hugged their heads and cried. Kong Xuan and Huo Xiaoxiao were especially sad.
Huo Xiaoxiao is usually extremely aloof and rarely loses control of her emotions, but this time she broke down in tears.
"Where is that little thief Lan Hua? I'll take him down with me today!"
"I'm the same!"
Seeing that someone was seeking revenge, Lan Hua shook her head and smiled, "I couldn't take responsibility for what happened last time, so please don't hold it against me!"
After saying that, Lan Hua soared into the sky and flew towards the Western Sea.
Deep within the Western Sea lies a Sea Heart Island, which contains a cross-realm teleportation array capable of transporting one to the Half-Heaven Realm. This was told to him by Zhang Xuanmiao, the successor of the Fourth Blessed Land.
As for the other place that allows entry into the Half-Heaven Realm, it is located in the desolate snowfields of the Northern Region.
The reason for choosing these two places is simply because they are sparsely populated and will not attract too much attention.
Zhang Xuanmiao once said that the energy consumed by the interdimensional teleportation array is considerable, and the fee for the Wild Snowfield is much higher than that for Haixin Island.
The West Sea Heart Island is very large, with many mountains on it, and the teleportation array is located deep within the mountains.
It took Lan Hua a lot of effort to find it.
The teleportation array was set up on a large platform. Three men guarded the entrance, and the one in the lead was lying on a recliner, looking calm and relaxed. He was actually a Dan Shen Realm expert.
Lan Hua knew that this person was not from the Xuanhuang Continent, but from the Half-Heaven Realm.
As long as he is here, no one will dare to act recklessly, because experts at the Pill God Realm almost never come here; they only enter the Half-Heaven Realm through official channels.
Lan Hua saw from a distance that someone had been stopped by them. That person was only at the Transformation Realm and had taken out all his valuables.
One of the people next to him said, "Brother Niu, this kid is too stingy. He thinks he can sneak into the Heavenly Realm with this little bit of money?"
Brother Niu snorted, "Only a thousand high-grade spirit stones? Kid, leave your sword behind, or don't even think about getting through!"
The man pleaded, "Brother Niu, this sword is my only possession. I have to keep it for self-defense!"
Brother Niu rolled over on the recliner and snorted, "If you don't give it to me, get out! This little bit of money is a 50% discount for letting you enter the Half-Heaven Realm!"
"This is a rock-bottom price!"
The man hesitated for a moment, then hardened his heart, threw down the sword, and let him pass.
Lan Hua muttered to herself, "Only a thousand high-grade spirit stones, that's not expensive at all, very reasonable!"
"I wonder if Baxia charges a head fee?"
After saying that, he glanced at Baxia, and then, on a sudden inspiration, he made a gesture with his right hand, and an invisibility talisman was imprinted on Baxia's body, causing the latter to disappear instantly.
As soon as Lan Hua arrived at the entrance, she was stopped by Brother Niu's men.
Brother Niu glanced at Lan Hua and was slightly surprised. "Kid, your cultivation is quite impressive. You're so young and you've already reached the Danxia Realm!"
Lan Hua laughed and said, "It's just luck, nothing more!"
One of the people next to him said, "Brother Niu, how many spirit stones do you think we should charge this person?"
Brother Niu held up five fingers, "Fifty thousand high-grade spirit stones!"
"Fifty thousand? High-grade spirit stones?"
Lan Hua scoffed, "Is this a robbery?"
Brother Niu got up, and his previously thick, fleshy frame loosened, making him look much thinner.
"Kid, do you know how I price my teleportation array?"
"Isn't it based on the number of people? That person in the Transformation Realm only got a thousand spirit stones!" Lan Hua said.
"You're quite clever, kid. It's true that it's based on the number of people, but it also depends on their cultivation level. The higher the cultivation level, the higher the price!"
"Why is that?" Lan Hua asked, puzzled.
"The higher your cultivation level, the more spiritual energy the teleportation array needs to consume. Charging you 50,000 spirit stones is very reasonable; I'm not making much profit!"
Lan Hua was too lazy to haggle and took out all her belongings. Fortunately, she had bet a lot on the battle of Undying Mountain and made a fortune, which was enough to barely scrape together the money.
"As expected, smuggling is not easy. Even if you succeed, you'll be skinned alive. Fortunately, Baxia got it for free, so it's a win!"
Brother Niu laughed and said, "Let's wait in the center of the platform for a while, then we'll gather a few more people and start the formation!"
Why is that?
Brother Niu said, "This interdimensional teleportation array costs 100,000 high-grade spirit stones just to activate. We'll lose money if we don't transport more people!"
Lan Hua nodded slightly, walked past Brother Niu, and headed towards the magic circle.
"Wait!"
Brother Niu suddenly stopped them, muttering, "I feel like something's not right. There seems to be an unusual aura about you!"
After searching for a long time, Brother Niu still couldn't find Baxia's presence, so he had no choice but to let him pass.
Lan Hua secretly exclaimed in alarm; the experts at the Dan Shen realm were truly formidable.
Upon arriving at the center of the magic array, several people were already waiting, including three Yuan Dan realm experts and one Danxia realm powerhouse.
"Damn, there are quite a lot of people trying to cross the border illegally!"
