Chapter 52 Fourth Level of Innate Realm, Condensing Qi into罡 (Gāng)!
"Luo Xi!"

Meng Qishan's expression changed.

How could he possibly forget that familiar voice?

"Luo Xi, you actually dare to come looking for me!"

Meng Qishan rushed out of the main hall and saw a middle-aged man with a cold face standing outside the hall, surrounded by a monstrous killing intent.

This middle-aged man is none other than Luo Xi, the son of the former sect leader!

A few days ago, he received news that Luo Xi had been rescued in Ping'an County by a top-tier martial artist named Duan Shuiliu.

Originally, he intended to go to Ping'an County in person today, but Wang Cheng, the garrison commander of the Eagle Wolf Guard, came to visit, which delayed him.

Unexpectedly, Luo Xi came to him of his own accord.

Furthermore, the aura emanating from the other party clearly indicated that he had recovered his cultivation level to the Innate Realm, which surprised him somewhat.

Luo Xi's gaze was filled with overwhelming killing intent, piercing straight into Meng Qishan's mind. He said coldly, "Meng Qishan, you old bastard, today is your death day."

Meng Qishan laughed in anger: "Luo Xi, you traitor of the Vajra Sect, how dare you spout such nonsense? Today I will personally cleanse the sect."

Before he finished speaking, Meng Qishan sprang up and charged toward Luo Xi.

Although he couldn't understand why Luo Xi would willingly offer himself up to die, since the other party had appeared, he would personally send him to hell to eliminate any future troubles.

"kill!"

Luo Xiyi was not afraid and went to meet them as well.

Immediately, two humanoid figures, each over three zhang tall, appeared in the void, both resembling powerful Vajra statues.

The two Vajra statues are solemn and majestic, with unparalleled strength and power.

It radiates a dazzling golden light, is sturdy and indestructible.

This illusory Vajra image is naturally the Vajra Intent Power mastered by Meng Qishan and Luo Xi. However, Meng Qishan has already cultivated the Vajra Intent to the Fusion Heaven stage. Once it is used, the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathers in, making it even taller and more majestic.

The Vajra image formed by Luo Xi's Vajra conception was immediately suppressed.

"Who is this Luo Xi? Is he also from the Vajra Sect?"

"I am the Red Eagle Envoy," Lin Ye asked.

He came from the capital and was naturally unaware of the grudges between the Vajra Sect.

Although the incident involving the Vajra Sect caused quite a stir in the martial arts world, it mainly spread in the eastern states such as Yuanzhou and Wanzhou.

"Luo Xi is the son of the former leader of the Vajra Sect."

Wang Cheng briefly explained the grudges between the Vajra Sect.

Back then, Luo Zhan, the leader of the Vajra Sect, reached the peak of the third level of the Innate Realm and was extremely powerful. Although he failed to enter the Earth Ranking, he was still a prominent figure in the Jianghu of Yuanzhou and the neighboring states, with a great reputation.

Unfortunately, without any spiritual treasures, he remained trapped in the third level of the Innate Realm. When his lifespan was about to end, he forcibly condensed his Qi into a protective aura, but ultimately failed and passed away a few months later.

Luo Xi succeeded to the position of sect leader.

However, the spiritual land consumed a lot of spiritual energy because Luo Zhan was breaking through to the fourth level of the Innate Realm, and the spiritual veins were damaged. It could only support the cultivation of one Innate Grandmaster. Elder Meng Qishan was naturally unwilling to accept this, which led to the Vajra Gate Incident.

“That’s an internal strife within the Vajra Sect, and it’s really not appropriate for us to get involved.”

Lin Ye, who was originally preparing to make a move to do Meng Qishan a favor, withdrew his aura at this moment.

As a member of the Imperial Eagle Wolf Guard, he naturally couldn't interfere in the internal strife within the Vajra Sect, otherwise it might provoke a united resistance from other sects.

After all, no sect wants the Eagle Wolf Guards to interfere in their sect's affairs.

At this moment, the two enormous Vajra statues in the void also determined the victor.

Although Luo Xi was also a grandmaster who had reached the Innate Realm, he recovered to his peak with the help of Zhou Qing's Inner Lion Seal Secret Technique, but his Vajra Intent had not yet reached the Heaven-Melting Realm and was still in its rudimentary stage.

If Luo Xi could still injure Meng Qishan three years ago even if he had to fight with all his might, now that more than three years have passed, Meng Qishan's strength has improved even more. Both his physical cultivation and his Vajra Intent have greatly increased.

Even if Luo Xi fought to the death, it would be difficult to injure Meng Qishan.

Meanwhile, while Luo Xi headed straight for the main hall of the Vajra Sect, Zhou Qing quietly arrived at the top floor of the Vajra Sect's library and found the Qi Condensation Chapter of the Innate Primordial True Skill.

Innate Primordial True Skill / Condensing Qi into罡 (Beginner Level)
"promote!"

During the five-day journey, Zhou Qing accumulated five Dao Source Points, which he poured into the Innate Primordial True Skill's Qi Condensation Formation Chapter.

hum~~~
Zhou Qing's body jolted violently as a familiar sensation arose.

Immediately, images of diligently cultivating innate primordial true qi and condensing it into a powerful force appeared in his mind, and countless insights kept pouring in.

While receiving these insights.

The primordial intent within the ancestral aperture between the eyebrows surged, causing the true qi and blood in the body to vibrate as well. Then, the power of the intent began to merge with the true qi and blood.

True Qi is the power of intent, a product of the fusion of true qi and blood.

Once condensed into true qi, both physical strength and mental power will be amplified tenfold. As long as true qi remains unbroken, the grandmaster will not die.

After three years of arduous training, you condensed the Primordial Chaos True Qi. The next two years were spent in intensive training, during which you began attempting to integrate sword intent into the Primordial Chaos True Qi.

After five years of arduous training, the sword intent successfully merged into the Primordial True Qi.

Instantly, the power of the Primordial Chaos True Qi condensed within Zhou Qing's body increased further, and he could also divert a portion of the Primordial Chaos True Qi to transform into Sword Dao True Qi.

"This is the power of the True Qi Realm!"

Zhou Qing felt a terrifying power contained within his internal energy.

The leap from the third to the fourth level of the Innate Realm is indeed a qualitative change; the gap between the two is as great as that between a first-rate martial artist and an Innate Grandmaster of the True Qi Realm.

Having completed his breakthrough, Zhou Qing disappeared from the library, and no one noticed his presence from beginning to end.

"Luo Xi, you haven't made any progress in the past three years."

"With such meager strength, they dare to return to the Vajra Sect? They're just courting death."

The Vajra image above Meng Qishan's head, formed from the Vajra's spiritual essence, was much taller and more solid than Luo Xi's, instantly overshadowing Luo Xi's Vajra image.

Furthermore, in the hand of the even taller Vajra statue appeared a dazzling ring knife that looked like a raw Vajra stone.

The towering Vajra statue, wielding a monk's knife, slashed at the Vajra statue above Luo Xi's head.

Instantly, a crack appeared on the Vajra statue formed by the Vajra intent above Luo Xi's head, and it was almost cleaved in two by this strike.

puff--

At the same time, Luo Xi, who was shrouded in the Vajra statue, also flew out horizontally.

A deep wound appeared on his chest; if he hadn't dodged in time, his chest would have been cleaved open by the knife.

"Die!"

Meng Qishan activated the Vajra statue, and the Vajra sword, as sharp as a diamond, slashed towards Luo Xi's Vajra statue.

If this strike were to land, Luo Xi's Vajra statue would be absolutely unable to withstand this terrifying blow; the statue would be shattered.

If the Vajra statue is shattered, it's as if the nascent form of his Vajra concept has been destroyed.

Once the Vajra statue is destroyed, Luo Xi will also be killed with a single blow.

Three years ago, even if Luo Xi wasn't Meng Qishan's match, he at least had the ability to escape from Meng Qishan's grasp. But now, let alone severely injuring Meng Qishan, he doesn't even have the ability to escape.

"That's it!"

Finally, Luo Xi also felt tired and gave up resisting.

He closed his eyes and let the Vajra sword strike down.

But death did not come.

In the void, a longsword radiating a terrifyingly sharp aura suddenly appeared, immediately drawing upon the surrounding spiritual energy, amplifying its power and blocking the attack.
