In the evening, after having dinner with Shi Mengqi, Wang Hao began his cultivation. After Wang Hao's deductions, he finally passed on a cultivation technique called the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden Technique to Shi Mengqi.

With two crisp "bang" sounds, Wang Hao used the Yin-Yang Profound Iron Sword Embryo to smash the remaining two spirit stones that Han Shuo had given him. Instantly, the small house was filled with the sound of the sword.

The air was filled with rich spiritual energy, which was almost liquefied. Shi Mengqi quickly began to cultivate according to the method taught to her by Wang Hao.

"I also need to hurry up and break through to the Great Perfection of the Spiritual Awareness Realm." Wang Hao took a deep breath of spiritual energy, and the Innate Primordial Dao Scripture began to circulate rapidly within his body.

Just as they began their cultivation and were attempting a breakthrough, Xia Xiaoyi received a message from Shi Mengqi. She immediately asked for leave from Dragon Phoenix Academy and returned to Earth in a spaceship.

But as soon as she landed, Chi Tu found her. A hint of surprise flashed in Xia Xiaoyi's eyes, but she didn't ask any questions and followed Chi Tu to a small courtyard.

As soon as I entered, I saw Liu Jinlin sitting leisurely in a recliner, basking in the sun. The potted plants and the decor around him were all brand new, with no trace of the last fight.

"Oh, you've arrived. Have a seat." Liu Jinlin gestured for the two to sit wherever they liked.

However, Chi Tu and Xia Xiaoyi looked around and found that there were no chairs at all. They couldn't very well sit on the ground.

"Spit it out if you have something to say, I have other things to do." Xia Xiaoyi was not polite at all, it seemed that she was an old acquaintance of Liu Jinlin and Chitu.

Liu Jinlin laughed and said, "Feng Caiyi, why is your temper still so fiery? Be careful you won't be able to get married."

Xia Xiaoyi rolled her eyes at him.

"Alright, enough joking around. Let's get down to business. Did you come into contact with the Dragon Transformation Scripture while you were at Dragon Phoenix Academy?" Liu Jinlin became unusually serious when it came to serious matters.

Upon hearing this, Xia Xiaoyi first rubbed her temples, and then said helplessly, "Uncle Liu, do you think the Dragon Transformation Scripture is as cheap as cabbage? I've only been there for a short time."

"You just want me to come into contact with the Dragon Transformation Scripture. If you want me to expose my identity, just say so directly. There's no need to beat around the bush like this."

Chi Tu, who was standing to the side, said, "Xiao Feng, the future of the useless technique now rests on your shoulders. Once you find the location of the Dragon Transformation Scripture..."

"Then we can try to steal it. It's the only complete cultivation manual, and we can't afford to lose it."

Xia Xiaoyi nodded and said, "I know that too, but so far, all I've heard is that the Dragon Transformation Scripture seems to have been kept at the residence of the Dean of the Dragon and Phoenix Academy."

"You can't expect me to sneak into the Heavenly Realm's residence to steal this scripture, can you? But I'm trying my best. If I can get him to accept me as his disciple, then there's still a chance."

Liu Jinlin leaned back in his recliner and said with a smile, "You can decide for yourself, but some strange things have been happening all over Tianxing lately, so be careful when you're doing academy missions."

"If nothing unexpected happens, the kid you introduced will also be heading to Tianxing in a little over two months. However, I plan to send him to the Burning Lamp Academy. You two can find an opportunity to cooperate then."

Xia Xiaoyi was surprised. She didn't expect that Wang Hao would come into Liu Jinlin's sight so quickly, and that he would be sent to the only academy for useless techniques, Randeng.

"Alright, I came back this time because of time constraints. I'll contact you through special channels if I have any news. I'm leaving now."

Xia Xiaoyi waved her hand and then left.

"Master, do you really think Feng Caiyi can get close to the Dragon Transformation Scripture? After all, it is the only complete cultivation technique to date."

Chi Tu looked worried, thinking that his master had entrusted such an important matter to a little girl. He thought it would be better to reveal his true strength and just snatch it directly.

Liu Jinlin laughed and said, "Kid, I know what you're thinking. Remember, the waters behind Tianxing run deep. Even if I reveal my true strength, I'm not confident I can sweep everything away."

"I suspect that there is a supreme expert behind the five major academies, but I have no evidence, it's just a feeling, so I should be careful."

Chi Tu nodded thoughtfully, recalling carefully that from the discovery of Tianxing to the rise of martial arts, it had only been a little over ten years, which was quite unbelievable.

"The waters of Tianxing are too deep for me to handle. I'd better stay with Master." Chitu sighed.

......

In the Li family's Tianxing residence, Li Xu was reviewing intelligence sent from the black market in a secluded study.

"What a waste! A Xuan Realm martial artist can't even beat a useless kid. And he's supposed to be the steward of the Li family."

Dressed in white, Li Xu sat on the sofa, his expression showing anger. He was not angry that the Li family steward had been killed, but that his death had caused the Li family to lose all face.

Li Xu snorted coldly and said, "Dog and Pig, are you here?"

As soon as he finished speaking, two dark figures emerged from the bookshelf beside him, silently, like shadows in the darkness.

"Your subordinate is here."

The Dog and the Pig spoke in unison. Both were dressed in black robes that concealed their figures, and their faces were covered with zodiac masks, making it impossible to see their appearance or gender. They were very mysterious.

Li Xu nodded in satisfaction and said, "I'll give you a month to go to the wasteland and assist the Wu family in killing that piece of trash named Wang Hao. Remember to do it quietly."

"Yes." The Dog and the Pig nodded without saying anything more, then with a flick of their black robes, they transformed into two shadows and disappeared into the darkness.

Li Xu's slender fingers rested on the desk, tapping the surface repeatedly, and he sneered, "I wasn't interested in a woman from the wasteland to begin with."

"But the more unattainable something is, the more I want it. From childhood to adulthood, there has never been anything or any woman that I, Li Xu, have not been able to obtain."

......

Tianxing, Institute of Origin Gene Architecture.

Wu Xiu and a middle-aged woman stood in front of an experimental vessel, looking at the figure inside. However, their expressions were quite different.

“Dr. Zhao, Li Zhiheng has already withstood the blood of that female cultivator in Shennongjia. I don’t think it’s necessary to modify his gene sequence anymore. If we fail, all our previous efforts will be in vain.”

Wu Xiu's tone was somewhat worried. He was not worried about Li Zhiheng's life or death, but rather that if the experiment failed, the Wu family would lose a golden opportunity to break free from the Li family's control.

Upon hearing this, Dr. Zhao said with some displeasure, "Young Wu, your grandfather has already agreed to this. Do you intend to go against his wishes?"

"I wouldn't dare." Wu Xiu lowered his head slightly. No matter how powerful he was, he wouldn't dare to go against his grandfather.

Dr. Zhao glanced at him and smiled, "Don't worry, this experiment has been calculated countless times, and the success rate is over 80%. Once it succeeds..."

"Then the Wu family will possess the world's first true genetically modified warrior. At that time, heads of state from various countries will have to pay them a visit. Moreover, after the success, his strength will skyrocket to the mid-stage of the Profound Realm!"

Wu Xiu's expression shifted, his eyes filled with surprise, followed by anticipation. In just one more month, he would know whether the experiment would be successful.

At this moment, not only the Li family of Tianxing and the Wu family of Earth are targeting Wang Hao and making their own ulterior motives, but even Yin Yi, the young master of the black market, is mobilizing his forces.

After all, he had never had his peaches picked before, but in Kunlun Mountain, not only was he used as a free thug, but even his weapon, the Crimson Fire Gauntlets, was stolen.

Previously, Yin Yi didn't know who was behind it, but now that he knows Wang Hao is the mastermind, he must take revenge, but he can't do it himself.

Because he was also about to travel to Tianxing and enter the Dragon and Phoenix Academy, he could not afford to make any mistakes at this crucial moment. Therefore, he had no choice but to send the incense master Yu Fu to carry out a series of assassinations against Wang Hao.

At this moment, various forces surged forth, and a huge vortex of conspiracy quietly unfolded, centered on Wang Hao.

In the dead of night, Wang Hao was making every effort to break through to the Great Perfection of the Spiritual Awareness Realm. He changed his mind and decided to break through to the Great Perfection first, and then take the Marrow Cleansing Pill to cleanse his marrow and remove impurities.

The same goes for Shi Mengqi. With the support of abundant spiritual energy, her martial arts cultivation has reached the Great Perfection of the Yellow Realm, and she is only one step away from the Profound Realm.

However, she was not willing to break through like this. She planned to take advantage of this opportunity to cultivate the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden Technique. But no matter what, the spiritual energy she absorbed into her body was transformed into a vast amount of true energy.

It began to circulate rapidly along the meridians of martial arts, unlike what was described in the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden Technique, which said that spiritual energy could be stored in the dantian for cultivation.

As time went by, Wang Hao had broken through to the Great Perfection of the Spiritual Awareness Realm and was currently consolidating his cultivation. Meanwhile, the surrounding spiritual energy was becoming increasingly thin and was about to be exhausted.

"No, no matter what, as long as spiritual energy enters the body, it will automatically transform into true energy. It seems to be related to my martial arts cultivation. But I'm a little unwilling to break through like this."

Shi Mengqi closed her eyes tightly, the scene of her father dying in front of her playing out repeatedly. Feeling the spiritual energy around her becoming extremely thin, she knew she could no longer hesitate.

"Since that's the case, then I will use this vast true energy to open up the fortieth meridian and create a meridian that belongs to me."

Shi Mengqi's expression hardened, and she immediately took control of the meridians in her body, opening up a completely new meridian according to her own ideas. This action was extremely dangerous.

The modified version of the Nine Ancestors Heavenly King Scripture that Wang Hao gave her was adapted by him based on his own knowledge as a Celestial King. However, Shi Mengqi did not conduct a serious deduction before haphazardly opening up her meridians. If any mistakes were made, she would lose all her cultivation at best, and die from the explosion of her true energy at worst.

However, Shi Mengqi did not open up her meridians haphazardly. She had previously studied the Daoist Canon and many other Daoist classics, and was very familiar with the flow of her own meridians.

Not long after, Wang Hao slowly opened his eyes. He had stabilized his cultivation at the Great Perfection of the Spiritual Awareness Realm. When he looked at Shi Mengqi beside him, he was surprised.

"She's creating her own meridian all by herself, which is quite an idea. However, the trajectory of this meridian looks somewhat familiar."

Wang Hao frowned slightly, then squinted his eyes to observe carefully. After a moment, he seemed to realize something and murmured, "So that's how it is. She is walking the extreme Yin path in Tai Chi."

"This method may be feasible. Previously, I viewed it from the perspective of my past life and based it on my own experience, so I could only deduce up to the level of thirty-nine meridians."

"But Qiqi is different. She used Tai Chi as her foundation and opened up an extremely Yin meridian, which is more in line with her own personality. So, if we follow this logic, can I open up an extremely Yang meridian?"

Shi Mengqi's actions gave Wang Hao a lot of inspiration. Once she successfully opened up her cultivation path, her foundation would be incredibly solid, and her cultivation and strength would experience a qualitative leap.

While waiting for Shi Mengqi to complete the opening of her meridians, Wang Hao took out the wordless sword manual left by the Sword Ancestor and began to read it.

This supreme sword technique is called the "Wordless Sword Manual" because it truly has no words on it; ordinary people can only see a blank page when they flip through it.

However, in Wang Hao's eyes, the wordless sword manual in front of him presented a world of swordsmanship, in which a figure was practicing swordsmanship, exuding an unparalleled sword intent.

However, when he turned to the next page, it was empty. Clearly, only after comprehending the sword technique on the first page could he turn to the second page and view its contents.

"Sword One".

Wang Hao murmured to himself, then immersed himself in the world of swordsmanship. Although comprehending the first sword technique was simple, the little figure dancing with a sword contained the supreme will of the Sword Ancestor.

He had a feeling that as long as he fully comprehended the Sword One, he might be able to use the Marrow Cleansing Pill to break through to the legendary realm, the Supreme Spiritual Realm.

This realm exists only in theory, because legend has it that only the Sword Ancestor reached this realm. In fact, it includes the Qi Refining Realm, Foundation Establishment Realm, Golden Core Realm, and is above the Great Perfection Realm.

There is a legendary realm that exists, but even in his previous life, he did not succeed in cultivating it, and there is no one who has reached this realm.

After an unknown amount of time, Shi Mengqi suddenly let out a delicate shout, and instantly, an aura belonging to the Profound Realm erupted. Fortunately, Wang Hao intervened in time.

Otherwise, all the surrounding furniture will be crushed by this aura and turned into a pile of sawdust.

"Such a powerful aura! This is far beyond what ordinary early-stage Profound Realm or early-stage Qi Refining Realm cultivators can possess. It seems that Qiqi has succeeded and taken that step!"

Wang Hao was genuinely happy. In this life, he naturally hoped that Shi Mengqi could accompany him to travel throughout the universe and explore ancient history.

"I did it!" Shi Mengqi exclaimed joyfully as soon as she opened her eyes, sharing her happiness. At that moment, she felt as if she had inexhaustible energy.

Wang Hao said with a smile, "You really surprised me. But why didn't you cultivate the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden Technique that I gave you?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Mengqi recounted what had just happened.

"Strange, could it be a problem with the cultivation method? But why can those people on Earth cultivate both martial arts and breathing techniques at the same time?" Wang Hao was puzzled.

Shi Mengqi thought for a moment and said, "It might really be related to the cultivation technique. I can sense that the cultivation technique you gave me is of a very high level. Those so-called breathing techniques are simply incomparable to it."

"That's possible. Never mind, I'll rest for now and prepare to take the Marrow Cleansing Pill to undergo the cleansing and marrow-removing process!"

Wang Hao shook his head and poured the pure white Marrow Cleansing Pill out of the jade bottle. Instantly, a fragrant aroma filled the entire living room.

After chatting for a while, the two took their respective pills and began the process of cleansing their marrow and bones.

They knew that time was of the essence and they could not afford to waste a single moment. Only by quickly improving their cultivation could they protect themselves in the face of the Li family's retaliation.

"Cleansing the marrow and removing impurities" means expelling impurities from the body to make it more transparent. It is usually triggered automatically once when advancing to the Qi Refining Realm.

However, one can also undergo a purification process in advance using pills during the Spiritual Awareness Realm. The earlier it is done, the better the effect. This is why Wang Hao's martial arts cultivation has been unable to break through.

It was because his physique was too weak, an E-level physique, even weaker than an ordinary person, and his meridians were blocked by "filth," that he was unable to practice martial arts.
