[The two personal protectors of Xiang Caixia, the "Goddess of Luo Feng Sect," are both at the early stage of the Celestial Realm and have their Dharma bodies inscribed on their bodies.]

[In the realm of Celestial Beings, the human race undergoes a qualitative change in their spiritual power, gaining the ability to manipulate the primordial energy of heaven and earth for attacks on a large scale, unlike the innate state where one can only mobilize primordial energy for cultivation.]

"Formations" also began to appear in the hands of martial artists at this level, manipulating the energy of heaven and earth to create various special effects.

The Dharma Body, on the other hand, is a formation inscribed on the human body. Unlike general formations, it takes into account various factors. Its effect is to transform the primordial energy of heaven and earth on a large scale and in large quantities; it is the pro-max version of the primordial core.

[The two celestial beings activated their Dharma bodies, their skin gleaming with eerie patterns, instantly increasing their strength by nearly half. Yet, even under these circumstances, they were still individually weaker than you!]

[You suspect that they are inferior Celestial Beings forcibly created by the Luo Feng Sect, and that even without the blessing of their Dharma Bodies, they might not be able to defeat the Crimson Serpent Demon who broke through only a few years ago.]

[Individually weaker than you, but even in a two-on-one situation, you're still at a disadvantage. You only manage to dodge deadly attacks and inflict damage on the enemy thanks to your ability to foresee the future.]

[You fought fiercely for over an hour, which puzzled the two Celestials: as Celestials, their spiritual range was several hundred meters, and they relied primarily on the primordial energy of heaven and earth for combat, allowing them to recover their energy at a higher rate; it was understandable that they had lasted this long.]

[But what makes you think you can keep fighting like this?! Even if your combat strength is comparable to a celestial being, how can you maintain this fighting intensity for so long?!]

[A protector, frustrated by his inability to subdue you for so long, angrily asked you this question.]

[Feel the abundant vital energy still mostly within you: "I'm so sorry, this is all thanks to your goddess."]

You drew out a wisp of rich spiritual energy and twirled it between your fingertips: "If she hadn't bestowed so much good fortune upon me, I think I would have slunk away half an hour ago."

You said to them, "Come and try it, this is the power of your goddess!"

[I was so angry I almost vomited blood over those two days.]

Ultimately, one of your two Celestial-level protectors died and the other escaped. And you, thanks to the gift bestowed upon you by the deceased Celestial, finally reached the peak of the Innate Realm on this day!

"It's a pity, we still let one escape." You watched the figure recede into the distance, becoming as small as dust as the distance increased.

"My wind isn't as fast as his."

Half a month later, you returned to the camp and gave your water spirit friend "Yiyaya" a small bottle of "virtual water" that you had just retrieved from the depths of the "bottomless pool."

【I've decided to repay you.】

[But you almost gave in, thinking that Xiang Caixia would return after finishing the resurrection match in the neighboring Naruto world using Edo Tensei.]

[Because the form that Yiya has transformed into this time is none other than Xiang Caixia, the goddess you defeated half a month ago.]

"What's wrong?" it asked, puzzled. "I heard from other members of your race that many of you humans and other races dislike that goddess of the Luo Feng Sect, and they actually like her."

[It made a peace sign with both hands, stuck out its condensed tongue, and a heart-shaped reflection appeared in its eyes: "I can make any expression, Ah Shou, pick whatever you like."]

[Your lips twitched, and the image of Jiang Zhen beating up Xiang Caixia flashed through your mind: "Um, this doesn't infringe on portrait rights... I mean, won't Xiang Caixia come knocking on our door?"]

"Who knows once the door is closed?" Yi Ya said indifferently. "Besides, what's so strange about faces looking the same? They're all different inside. Hmph, can her inner qualities, like Goddess Xiang Caixia, compare to my carefully selected ones?"

Oh my god, Yanxuan!

Yun Shou felt that there were always things in the simulation that caught his eye.

[You think what Yiya said makes sense, even though it might not know that Xiang Caixia's true form was actually destroyed by the muscular man in front of it.]

Now, this muscular man is about to crush another Xiang Caixia.

"By the way, make the nostrils smaller; they look disgusting."

"Ah, don't you humans really like this feature? Some even go to great lengths to enlarge their nostrils and then... *go in*."

Yun Shou: Now everything should go black.

How can the XP of a living organism be so strange?

Has the TMD (Taiwan Non-Proliferation Treaty) been forgotten?!

Your Gale Crystal has been upgraded to a Storm Core.

[Year 3244, the third year after reaching the peak of the Innate Realm, the thirty-fourth year since entering the Battle of the Hundred Races.]

[The essence, nine times greater, and the mental power, nine times greater, undergo a qualitative change at this moment.]

[You broke through to become a celestial being without encountering difficulties or bottlenecks.]

[Body, vital energy, and spirit all underwent a qualitative change at this moment!]

The most important point is that you can mobilize the energy of heaven and earth, allowing you to fight against weaker opponents with almost no energy expenditure!

[The Celestials' combat endurance has increased rapidly once again, building upon their innate abilities!]

[When a normal Celestial Being first breaks through, they can control the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a radius of 200 meters, but you control a radius of 600 meters!]

[Your control over your vital energy has reached the level of a mid-stage Celestial Being, and you feel that your "authority" is higher than that of an average mid-stage Celestial Being!]

[That is: If you and a mid-stage Celestial Realm cultivator jointly utilize the surrounding天地元气 (Heaven and Earth Qi), you can use 70% of it, while the other person can only use 30%!]

However, Bei Chenguang's "Primordial Spirit True Self Body" definitely has a higher level of authority than yours; he's the favored son of the Primordial Qi.

"A celestial being!" The surprise came a little suddenly, and it took Yun Shou a while to realize it.

"Holy crap, a celestial being!"

The second step of martial arts is more than halfway complete!

Above the Celestial Beings is the realm of the Overlord, where Zhu Baowen resides!

"Accumulated strength finally unleashed; its ninefold nature is truly terrifying, utterly frightening!"
