Seeing this scene, Li Chunfeng's expression turned solemn.

"The sealing energy has weakened significantly. At this rate, the seal on the Nine Provinces will probably be difficult to maintain."

Seals and formations are similar in some ways, originally set up using the power of heaven and earth and the principles of yin and yang and the five elements.

Originally, the seal within the Nine Provinces could slowly absorb the power of heaven and earth to maintain its existence.

However, the power of heaven and earth within the seal has been absorbed, causing the seal to be affected.

Now that the crystals on the altar have shattered and the power of heaven and earth within the seal has leaked out, the seal in the Nine Provinces has naturally been affected as well.

After sensing the surrounding power of heaven and earth and the locations where that power was lost within the seal, Li Chunfeng pondered for a moment and then immediately set off to quickly move towards the Ming Dynasty.

Inside the villa in Yushui City.

At this moment, if anyone could observe Chu Qinghe's body, they would surely notice that Chu Qinghe had just slowly opened his eyes.

When Chu Qinghe opened his eyes, a deep sense of surprise lingered in them.

After fully digesting the information in his mind, Chu Qinghe now understood his situation.

"I never imagined that immortal-level martial arts would require the creation of new meridians within the body using true essence and blood energy."

Based on his medical skills and understanding of the human body, Chu Qinghe was certain that martial arts of the upper-level Dao rank had already utilized the human body's meridians to their fullest extent, and it would be difficult to improve upon them further.

Unexpectedly, the martial arts of the Immortal Rank involve opening up special spiritual veins within the body and then combining them with the martial artist's own meridians as a new path for cultivation.

Thinking it over, Chu Qinghe's mind stirred, and a wisp of sword energy instantly appeared on the tip of his index finger.

Seeing the almost transparent wisp of sword energy leaping from his fingertips, Chu Qinghe had a thought, and a wisp of the power of heaven and earth was instantly pulled towards him.

However, the moment this wisp of heaven and earth power touched the sword essence, it was instantly shattered and then merged into the sword essence.

The next second, the wisp of sword energy on his fingertip split into two.

It should be understood that the power of heaven and earth is a unique energy in the world, and it is extremely difficult to destroy unless one refines it.

Even if a martial artist in the Breaking Void Realm wants to refine the power of heaven and earth, at most the refining speed will be slightly faster than that of a martial artist in the Divine Seat Realm or the Illumination Realm.

It's definitely not like what Chu Qinghe is doing now, using sword energy to crush it and then absorb it.

Then, Chu Qinghe raised his index finger again and flicked it lightly into the air.

With what seemed like a casual flick, without even Chu Qinghe actively mobilizing the sword energy within his natal sword pellet, a wisp of sword energy burst forth with the strong wind, transforming into an arrow that pierced through a man-sized boulder ten zhang away in the courtyard and disappeared into the ground.

Taking in this scene, Chu Qinghe raised an eyebrow and a satisfied smile appeared on his lips.

"Unexpectedly, after the 'Innate Body-Breaking Formless Sword Qi' was upgraded to the Immortal Rank, it was able to completely integrate into the flesh and blood."

Previously, the "Innate Body-Breaking Formless Sword Qi", which had reached the Dao rank, had gained a new special move, "Ten Thousand Swords Return to Their Positions".

This method allows the cultivator's body to be covered by naturally flowing, ever-renewing sword energy, as if protected by ten thousand swords.

These myriad sword energies not only protect the body, but also refine the body and temper the sword intent.

This allows one's sword intent to be continuously refined and integrated into one's true essence.

This ensures that every strand of true essence in the future contains immense power.

Therefore, even though Chu Qinghe was in the mid-stage of the Void Breaking Realm, the purity of his sword essence even surpassed that of other Void Breaking Realm experts at the peak.

Now, Chu Qinghe's sword energy is no less powerful than the power of heaven and earth in terms of quality and strength.

In addition, although the upgraded "Innate Body-Breaking Formless Sword Qi" has not introduced any new techniques or moves, it has greatly expanded the sword qi's potential.

That means the sword essence can completely merge with Chu Qinghe's body, rather than simply circulating within his meridians and dantian.

Just like now, half of the sword energy within Chu Qinghe's body has already been integrated into Chu Qinghe's body.

It can be said that every inch of bone and even muscle contains a considerable amount of sword essence.

With these sword energies fully integrated into his body, even a casual flick of Chu Qinghe's wrist could unleash an attack like the one just now.

It can be used to defend against enemies and also as a defensive measure.

Not only that, what surprised Chu Qinghe even more was that his true essence could now actively absorb and integrate the power of heaven and earth.

After testing the new sword energy within his body, Chu Qinghe focused his attention on his internal body as his spiritual energy surged.

Even Chu Qinghe couldn't help but feel a bit surprised as he looked at the natal sword pellet inside his Tanzhong acupoint.

If we consider the differences between the Dao-level "Innate Body-Breaking Formless Sword Qi" and the Immortal-level "Innate Body-Breaking Formless Sword Qi" aside from their quality and power, the biggest change is the natal sword pellet condensed within the body.

After this natal sword pellet was formed, Chu Qinghe's core cultivation was no longer the Martial Dao Golden Core and the Primordial Spirit Golden Core, but the natal sword pellet.

With his natal sword pellet, Chu Qinghe himself was already the sharpest and most peerless sword.

Every gesture he makes can unleash terrifying sword energy.

Even its original spiritual energy is imbued with a unique pressure due to its own natal sword pellet.

In Chu Qinghe's own assessment, he now believed that even with just his spiritual energy, he could easily kill a martial artist at the peak of the Divine Seating Realm.
