Jiang Yuan looked at the chiefs and elders who appeared in the distance, then bowed and said, "Please stop here, chiefs and elders. I promised Master Kong Nianfeng that I will protect him!"

Nie Xuan nodded, a smile on his face: "I understand!"

Everyone nodded, especially the chief leaders, who vaguely guessed in their hearts that Jiang Yuan's strength was far above theirs.

Suddenly, huge waves of spiritual fluctuations came from Kong Nian.

Wherever this wave of energy reached, the grass, trees, bamboo and rocks only shook slightly.

However, those weak creatures died suddenly in the face of this huge fluctuation of the soul.

Jiang Yuan also focused slightly, then glanced at Shu Xiaoxiao behind him.

At this time, Shu Xiaoxiao didn't change at all.

When she saw Jiang Yuan looking at her, she immediately smiled.

Jiang Yuan was suddenly shocked.

Could the spirit of this little maid be so strong? Or had she already condensed her soul? In the distance, the chiefs and elders were affected by the spreading power of the soul, and they all retreated with pale faces.

Several elders retreated and looked at Jiang Yuan with incredible expressions.

Then he looked at Shu Xiaoxiao behind Jiang Yuan with horror.

After experiencing the immense power of the spirit firsthand, they began to understand the terrifying might of the soul after it transformed into the spirit.

Now I understand why there is such a saying. If one fails to condense his primordial spirit in the Divine Bridge Realm, he will be vulnerable in front of the Dharma Realm.

Now, just the fluctuations of Kong Nian's soul that broke through and dissipated were enough to prevent them from getting close to Kong Nian.

If the secret magic of the Yuanshen is used, they can be killed instantly!

But because of this, when they saw Jiang Yuan and the maid behind him did not retreat a single step and had a calm expression.

Their expressions were as if they had seen a ghost, full of horror.

Gulp!

An elder's throat moved and he asked, "Why are they so close to Kong Nian, but they don't retreat a single step?"

Nie Xuan said slowly: "Can't you see it, elders? Jiang Yuan's strength is probably superior to ours!"

"This is impossible!"

"What's impossible?" Nie Xuan said calmly, "He can't use common sense to judge it!"

"Then what about the maid next to him? What's the reason?"

"She may be above us?"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" The elder waved his hands. "It's fine if you say Jiang Yuan has strength that's superior to ours! But how can his maid be stronger than us?"

Nie Xuan glanced at him calmly and said, "Then explain to me why she didn't frown when faced with such a huge fluctuation of her soul?"

"I don't know about that, but your guess is pure nonsense!"

The elder shook his head and spoke in a resounding voice.

The other elders also nodded slightly in agreement: "Elder Meng's words make sense. Jiang Yuan is stronger than us, and we can barely understand it! But why is the maid beside him stronger than us?"

Nie Xuan was silent for a moment, because he himself did not quite believe what he had just said.

This speculation is also absurd.

As time passed, waves of huge spiritual fluctuations continued to emanate from Kong Nian.

Jiang Yuan also understood that this was Kong Nian condensing his primordial spirit in his spiritual altar.

Only by condensing the Dharmakāya can one truly enter the Dharmakāya realm.

Half an hour later.

Kong Nian suddenly opened his eyes.

"Condensation——"

He shouted loudly, and a terrifying spiritual storm flashed around him.

As the storm swept across, Jiang Yuan narrowed his eyes and looked at Kong Nian.

The elders and chiefs in the distance retreated one after another, not daring to confront his might.

Noticing this situation, their eyes did not fall on Kong Nian, but instead were firmly on Jiang Yuan and Shu Xiaoxiao.

Seeing the two of them still motionless.

Their worldviews were somewhat shattered.

"How could they resist this terrifying spiritual storm? Especially Jiang Yuan's maid, how could she ignore it completely?"

No one responded to his words.

Because except for him, everyone else present had the same doubt.

The next moment.

A huge golden light suddenly burst out from Kong Nian's body, and the golden light expanded rapidly.

In an instant it expanded to several hundred feet.

A human-shaped statue of the Yuanshen is sitting cross-legged on the ground.

The texture and outline are exactly the same as Kong Nian's.

The golden eyes of the Yuanshen Dharma Image slowly opened, revealing eyes shining with golden light.

Then, the image of the primordial spirit slowly stood up, and the mountain began to shake slightly.

If this mountain weren't covered with magic array patterns and reinforced by large arrays.

Just this movement might cause part of the mountain to collapse.

When the Yuanshen Dharma Image stood up completely, its height was more than a thousand feet, like a god walking out of ancient times.

[Name]: Kong Nian [Realm]: Dharma Realm 1

[Innate Luck]: Late bloomer (purple), great achievements (blue), god-like control (blue), formation apprentice (green), genius of strange gate (green)

【Late bloomer】: The older you are, the higher your aptitude for practice and the higher your understanding.

[Strong accumulation leads to sudden explosion]: The deeper the accumulation, the stronger the explosion will be. Unlimited accumulation of foundation can help break through any bottleneck.

Jiang Yuan took a look at the panel of the statue and his eyes fixed.

"Senior, what kind of Dharma image is this?"

Kong Nian's thousand-foot-tall primordial spirit lowered his head slightly and smiled slowly at Jiang Yuan.

“This is the true self’s Dharma form. Only when one is invincible in the same realm and cultivates the intention of being invincible can one condense the true self’s Dharma form.”

"The Dharma-image of the True Self ranks among the hundredth in the world and is a first-rate Dharma-image."

"No Dharma image that my Taixuan Sect can condense can compare to it, and it is also my best choice at the moment."

"When you achieve the Dharma Realm, if there is no better choice, you can also choose to condense your true self Dharma Realm!"

Jiang Yuan was quite surprised when he heard this.

He had never heard of the true self.

As Kong Nian said, the true self and Dharma-image are indeed powerful.

Ranked 100th in the world, the world is so big. Just the Eastern Region, without the help of the teleportation array, a Dharma master would not be able to cross the Eastern Region even if he spent his entire life.

The true self's Dharma image can be ranked among the top 100 in the world, which covers the ranking of the Dharma images of both humans and demons.

For a force like the Taixuan Sect, it is indeed impossible to possess a Dharma image that is more powerful than the True Self Dharma Image.

Jiang Yuan immediately shook his head again, no! If the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Atlas left by the Tianjiao back then could condense the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Fa Xiang.

Far more powerful than the true self.

Because Zhou Tian Xing Dou Fa Xiang is known to be among the top 100 in the world, not the 100th.

I have a better choice.

When Nie Xuan and others saw this statue that looked like a god, they all showed expressions of ecstasy.

“Dharma Realm! My Taixuan Sect finally has the Dharma Realm!”

"Grandmaster, bless us! Today, our Taixuan Sect has finally produced a great master of the Dharma Realm!"

“.”

The other side.

A flying boat was speeding towards Taixuan Gate.

Lu Qingshan was standing on the flying boat and was suddenly stunned.

The golden image of the Yuanshen, a thousand feet tall, stood on the top of Tianshou Peak. Even though it was hundreds of miles away from him, he could see it clearly.

There was a look of disbelief in his eyes.

Could it be that Uncle Kong Nian has achieved the Dharma Realm?

Yes! It must be so!

Otherwise, how could a thousand-foot-tall primordial spirit appear in my Taixuan Sect?

The Dharma image condensed by Wang Xiao is not the Dharma image of his true self.

Only Uncle Master Kong Nian can condense the true self.

After all, he has never been defeated in the same realm so far.

Although it may be related to the fact that he did not encounter the peerless genius, but as long as he was not defeated, he was not defeated.

In order to condense his true self, he successfully cultivated the invincible spirit in his heart.

Lu Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief.

In his mind, Wang Xiao would definitely come to visit him soon.

Even before this, he was certain that after extending his life by a hundred years, Master Kong Nian would be able to achieve the Dharma Realm.

But everything is full of variables.

It was not until this moment when he saw the image of his true self standing in the clouds that his heart finally settled down.

The pressure in my heart was suddenly relieved a lot.

Then he drove the flying boat with all his strength and headed quickly towards Taixuan Gate.

Kong Nian looked up at the end of his sight in the distance, and slowly dissipated his Dharma image.

The figure also slowly fell from mid-air.

The rolling black clouds that covered an area of ​​dozens of miles also marked the completion of Kong Nian's breakthrough.

Rapidly dispersing in all directions.

If it were in ancient times, Kong Nian would need to go through the thirty-nine thunder tribulations after breaking through the Dharma Realm.

Only after overcoming the thirty-nine thunder tribulations can one be considered to have successfully broken through.

In that era, countless Dharma masters died in the thirty-nine thunder tribulations.

But even so, in that era, the path of spiritual practice was far more prosperous than it is today.

Because the heavenly way is flawed now, the environment of heaven and earth is constantly deteriorating, and the resources for cultivation are far less abundant than in that era.

"Congratulations, senior, for achieving the Dharma image!" Jiang Yuan said with a bow.

Nie Xuan and others also hurried forward: "Congratulations, Brother Kong, for achieving the Dharmakāya!"

Everyone shouted in unison.

Kong Nian also smiled happily. At this time, as he successfully broke through the realm, his whole body was undergoing transformation and his lifespan was constantly increasing.

"Brother Kong, you have achieved a breakthrough in the Dharma Realm. This is a great joyous event! Should we set a good day, hold a banquet, and invite fellow Taoists from all the major sects to come and congratulate you?"

Kong Nian shook his head: "There is no rush for this matter. Soon, another big thing will happen!"

"What's the big deal?" Everyone looked puzzled.

Kong Nian said, "No hurry! Junior Brother Lu is now a few hundred miles away. It won't take long for him to arrive here. We can talk about this after he comes back."

Everyone nodded and looked quietly at the distant horizon.

Kong Nian also temporarily closed the magic circle covering Tianshou Peak, waiting for Lu Qingshan to land.

Jiang Yuan also looked into the distance, and through the heavy clouds, he saw Lu Qingshan rushing towards him.

Less than an incense stick of time.

The flying boat broke through the thick clouds and appeared in front of everyone.

Lu Qingshan, standing at the front of the flying boat, also appeared in everyone's sight.

Lu Qingshan looked at the people on Tianshou Peak and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

He also heard Kong Nian's voice, and he knew that the magic formation of Tianshou Peak had been closed.

So he drove the flying boat quickly towards Tianshou Peak.

A moment later.

The flying boat slowly stopped above the clan members.

Several people slowly fell down from the flying boat, and the flying boat turned into a stream of light and was taken back by Lu Qingshan.

Master Mu of the Goddess Peak glanced at the people around Lu Qingshan and his expression slightly condensed.

"Master, where is my disciple Tan Tai Ming?"

Lu Qingshan sighed slightly: "He was not transported out by the power of the cave heaven and fell in the Lizhu cave heaven!"

Master Mu's body shook slightly, and his eyes suddenly became dim.

Although she had already known that there would be a risk of falling when entering the Lizhu Cave, at this moment, she still found it a little unacceptable.

She had watched Tan Tai Ming grow up. He was born in the Tan Tai family and had a close relationship with her. He was detected to have excellent aptitude for cultivation at a very young age, so he entered the sect and became her disciple.

It can be said that her relationship with Tan Tai Ming is not that of mother and daughter, but it is better than that of mother and daughter.

She watched Tan Tai Ming grow up and they have been together for decades.

Now I suddenly heard such bad news, and I couldn’t accept it at all for a moment.

She said to Lu Qingshan: "Master, I'm sorry, I'm in a bad mood, I'm going to go back and rest first."

Lu Qingshan sighed again: "I understand, go ahead!"

She instantly turned into a stream of light and flew towards the Goddess Peak.

Kong Nian glanced at Jiang Yuan at this time, and Jiang Yuan smiled helplessly at Kong Nian.
