Chapter 1112 Young Master Should Not Be in Seclusion for Breakthrough
This young man, named 'Buying', has a mysterious background but is extremely shrewd and charismatic.

Since the feudal lord had died and a new one had not yet been established, he assumed the position of governor of the state, thus beginning the era of self-appointed territories in a monarchless society.

When the news reached the capital, both the royal family and the noble families were somewhat bewildered; the appearance of this illegitimate child was too sudden.

It should be noted that not all of Governor Maijing's family had died out; his illegitimate son, Wulinbei, still existed in the world. According to the law, Wulinbei was more qualified to succeed him than his illegitimate son.

Although a son born out of wedlock is not as good as a son born out of wedlock, he is still a member of the family line. A son born out of wedlock, to put it bluntly, is a bastard whose bloodline is questionable.

Unfortunately, since the lord was assassinated, order has gradually collapsed, etiquette has been neglected, and rules have become less important.

Wu Linbei participated in the candidate for the title of emperor, but abandoned the foundation of Jingzhou. Naturally, he had no grounds to question it.

His attitude toward this 'younger brother' was clear: he didn't believe him, didn't accept him, and wouldn't expose him.

"This young man is exceptionally talented. In just a few months since his rise to power, he has swept away those who refused to submit with force and won over many former officials."

“Those aristocratic families and sects, after witnessing his skills, were all sincerely impressed and respectfully called him ‘Young Master Yingying’.”

"By the way, what weapon did he use?"

"Weapon? Oh, I remember now, his weapon was a... power, absolute power!"

There are also beings in the Demon Soldier Village whose appearance is 'power', and there was once a Demon Soldier Lord. But unfortunately, that person perished under the siege of the Shakyamuni Sect. The spirit of the Demon Soldier returned to the Demon Soldier Village and could not be reborn for a short time.

Young Master, after thorough investigation, we have ruled out the possibility of a demon soldier impersonating him.

Well, although his self-appointment as governor was a rebellious act, in this chaotic world where strength reigns supreme, few people objected.

As one of the eight directly governed prefectures, Maijing Prefecture now has all its cities and forces under his control, giving him the leverage to influence the outcome of this internal strife.

The royal family acted the fastest, trying to win over the young master, while the aristocratic families followed suit.

The envoys from both sides inevitably bumped into each other in Maijingzhou, resulting in dozens of large and small battles that left countless dead and wounded.

It should be noted that of the eight prefectures in Zhili, four have already pledged allegiance to the royal family, while the remaining three are still observing the situation. If Prince Ying takes Jingzhou to pledge allegiance to the royal family, the situation of the aristocratic families will be in danger.

The Martial Arts Monument was in the most awkward position. The martial artists at sea hoped that he could win over Young Master Yingyi with 'family ties,' regardless of whether the other party was genuine or not. However, the Martial Arts Monument felt disgusted, as if he had swallowed a fly.

He was 100% certain that the illegitimate child was fake, but he couldn't expose it and had to pretend to win him over.

As one of the candidates for the title of emperor, he is currently enjoying great success.

The powerful family behind the maritime warrior decided to strengthen their ties through a marriage alliance with him; the bride was Helier.

Yes, it was Helier who should have married one of the Eight Gentlemen and become a virtuous lady.

If it were Zhou You, he would definitely know that this is the second generation Helier, because the first generation Helier, also known as the Demon Hook, died at his hands. Afterwards, the sea warriors replaced her with someone else in order to make amends.

After the incident involving the lord, the wise sea warriors chose to sever ties, and the marriage between Helier and the Eight Gentlemen came to an abrupt end.

Now, Hailier is being arranged to marry Wulinbei.

Wu Linbei was fully aware of the woman's rich past, but pretended not to know. The marriage was an attitude, not a promise to provide her with a compatible partner.

The news of this marriage also reached Zhou You's ears. He quickly found out that this "Hailier" was actually an old friend, "Hai Shuer" from the Thousand Faces Hall of the Northern Xuan Prefecture.

Hai Shuer and Hai Lier were originally sisters and looked quite similar, which created an opportunity for them to switch places.

He quickly forgot about this matter, because he had something more important to do: break through to the Earthly Realm. Due to the abundant accumulation of the Three-in-One Grandmaster Mark, he rose to the peak of the Human Realm as soon as he broke through the Grandmaster barrier.

Having fought his way through the Southern Frontier, Putuo, and Dijing, he encountered enemies from both the Human Sect and the Earth Sect. He had long since figured out the secrets of the Earth Sect's city-building, which involved contacting and wielding spatial authority over this land.

From the Human Sect to the Earth Sect, the condensed fist intent bursts forth from the body. The original control of power over the body has reached a very specific level. Going further, it spreads out to the surrounding space with oneself as the core.

In short, this is the first step towards the heavens and the earth.

The Martial Arts Training has honed the physical body to its extreme. The Human Sect is a summary and conclusion of the past, pushing the 'human' factor to a qualitative level.

The condensed intent and spirit of the fist break through one's own limits and connect with heaven and earth, hence the name Earth Sect and Heaven Sect.

Zhou Ti followed Zhou Nanwang closely and witnessed his breakthrough to the Earth Sect level, his construction of the Great Thousand City from scratch, and his battles with more than one Earth Sect master, demonstrating his profound accumulation of experience in the breakthrough.

The only thing that restrained him was the small cauldron inside his body.

The six laws within the small cauldron encompass extremely profound and mysterious principles of heaven and earth. This is a factor that enhances Zhou You's overall strength, but conversely, it also becomes the root cause of reinforcing his bottlenecks.

The difficulty of advancement for ordinary people is 1, while for Zhou You it is 100, 1000 or even 10000.

The more complex and profound the space one comprehends through the small cauldron, the more insurmountable the bottleneck becomes when attempting a breakthrough.

Despite his extraordinary combat prowess, capable of killing powerful Earth Sect experts beyond his level, his cultivation realm remained stagnant, and this was the root cause of his inability to advance further.

Previously, he had used the disguise of the Heart Demon Ring to experience a speedrun, quickly crossing the Earth Sect and Heaven Sect realms, but this also exhausted the last bit of potential of selling disguises.

At that time, the whole world was against him. After breaking through the Heart Demon Ring, he was left with only an empty shell and had no choice but to leave the ember to Yin Hen.

Zhou You used this disguise to obtain firsthand information about his advancement. With sufficient preparation, he broke through the bottleneck and finally saw the dawn of his advancement to the Earth Sect.

As the situation developed, powerful figures emerged one after another, and his strength became increasingly insufficient.

Although his overall strength is comparable to that of the Earth Sect, his potential has been capped, and he has no chance of winning against the Heaven Sect.

Without breaking through to the Earth Sect level, his strength will only increase to a limited extent. Only by becoming an Earth Sect master will he have a chance to contend with the Heaven Sect master.

The civil war between the royal family and the aristocratic families is about to break out in full force. Anyone who wants to participate must be at least at the Earth Sect level; a Human Sect level person is destined not to go very far.

"Hoohoo!"

Zhou You sat cross-legged in the secret room, the reflection of the small cauldron appearing in his eyes. Under the gaze of the Nine Cauldrons True Eye, the space around him was like a crisscrossing crystal prism, covering all parts of his body.

Space is both a place to live and a constraint. The key to breaking through the Earth Sect lies in breaking these crystals in front of you and reshaping them, turning the constraint into a gateway for your freedom of movement.

Once this is achieved, the basic form of the Earth God's city-building method will be grasped.

Zhou You punched right in front of the crystal, but the crystal didn't budge. To the naked eye, it looked like he was throwing a punch into the air, which should have missed, but instead he struck a transparent, solid wall of metal.

The solidity and power of space far exceed imagination. In fact, the threshold from the Human Sect to the Earth Sect makes many masters hesitate.

Despite encountering setbacks in his small attempt, Zhou You's expression showed no frustration, but rather an air of confident composure.

Next comes the highlight!
