Emperor Qiankun

He felt that subtle changes were taking place in his body and soul, just like the stars in the universe twinkling constantly.

He knew that this was the 'Ethereal State', and that anything he could do in this state would be twice as effective with half the effort.

As time went by, he gradually felt that he had reached the limit of the Tongwu Realm, and this was the critical moment to break through to the tenth level of the Tongwu Realm.

He did not dare to be careless at all, and quickly circulated the profound power in his body to break through the bottleneck of the tenth level of Tongwu Realm.

In the 'Ethereal Realm', his mind became extremely clear, and he was able to perceive every subtle change in himself.

He mobilized all his strength, gathered it at one point, and then suddenly exerted force to attack the bottleneck of the tenth level of Tongwu Realm.

He tried again and again, his body shaking constantly, but he never gave up.

Finally, after countless attempts, he successfully broke through the bottleneck and was promoted to the tenth level of Tongwu Realm.

When he opened his eyes, there was a glint of surprise in them.

At this moment, he felt that his strength had increased several times, and the mysterious power in his body had become more powerful. His whole body was filled with power, as if it was about to explode.

However, he did not stop practicing, but continued to immerse himself in the ethereal state, consolidating the realm he had just broken through while comprehending the sword power.

The time of an incense stick passed slowly, Li Qingyuan's tightly closed eyes trembled slightly, and then slowly opened.

His eyes were clear and bright, as dazzling as stars, sparkling with charming light in the dark night.

"This ethereal realm is truly marvelous!"

Li Qingyuan murmured softly, with a faint smile on his lips.

Relying on his experience from his previous life, his sword skills easily advanced from the entry level to the minor success level.

He felt the powerful force of time and space surging in his body, as if endless power was being awakened.

He stood up, stretched his body, and felt the crisp sounds of his bones.

Li Qingyuan smiled lightly: "I'm about to break through to the Shenzang realm!"

His heart moved and his eyes fell on the Heavenly Sword Tower in front of him.

He originally planned to continue to break into the Heavenly Sword Tower, but he changed his mind at this time.

"I'd better raise my realm to the Shenzang realm first!"

He decided to leave the Heavenly Sword Tower temporarily and find a quiet place to practice in seclusion.

He believed that once he broke through to the Shenzang Realm, he would gain greater rewards when he entered the Tianjian Tower again.

With a relaxed mood, Li Qingyuan turned and left.

His figure gradually disappeared at the exit of the Heavenly Sword Tower, leaving behind silence.

......

"Look, the 23rd floor is dark, but the 24th floor is not lit. This person is about to come out." As these words rang out, the surroundings suddenly became noisy.

"I remember that the last time someone was able to reach the 23rd floor of the Heavenly Sword Tower at the ninth level of the Tongwu Realm was about a thousand years ago. I didn't expect such a monster to appear now." Someone said with emotion.

"It seems that our sect will have another talented disciple."

At this time, outside the Heavenly Sword Tower, many disciples were shocked and discussions arose one after another.

Their eyes were all focused on the entrance of the Heavenly Sword Tower, waiting for the person who could create miracles to walk out of the tower.

Finally, as everyone expected, a figure slowly walked out of the tower.

He was tall and straight, with an elegant demeanor and a look of confidence in his eyes. This man was none other than Li Qingyuan.

"Someone came out. Is it the person who broke through?"

At this moment, a sharp-eyed person in the crowd saw Li Qingyuan who had just walked out of the Tianjian Tower, and immediately shouted excitedly.

"It's Li Qingyuan, it must be him."

"Let's go and ask if it's true."

When everyone heard this, they all rushed towards Li Qingyuan.

Faced with the dense crowd that suddenly appeared in front of him, Li Qingyuan was a little confused for a moment, muttering to himself: What is going on?

At this moment, a disciple at the second level of the Tongwu Realm excitedly stepped forward and asked impatiently, "Uncle Li, have you made it to the 23rd floor of the Heavenly Sword Tower?"

Li Qingyuan looked at their eyes filled with curiosity and expectation, feeling a little puzzled, but he answered truthfully, "I did make it to the 23rd floor of the Heavenly Sword Tower. Any questions?"

Upon hearing this affirmative answer, another disciple nearly jumped up in excitement, his voice trembling slightly with excitement. "Oh my God! Uncle-Master, did you know that breaking into the 23rd floor of the Heavenly Sword Tower with the cultivation of the ninth level of the Tongwu Realm is a feat rarely seen in our Heavenly Sword Sect in a thousand years!"

Li Qingyuan suddenly realized that these people came for this reason.

He smiled and waved his hand, saying modestly: "It's nothing, actually. I'm just a little luckier. It's not worth mentioning."

However, the other disciples did not think so. They gathered around and asked Li Qingyuan questions in a flurry.

"Uncle Master, how did you do it? Is there any secret?" a young disciple asked impatiently.

Another disciple immediately chimed in, "Uncle Master, could this be the legendary gifted talent? Could you teach us some techniques?"

Someone else excitedly shouted, "Master, you must join our Xuan Lei Society!"

For a moment, all the disciples surrounded Li Qingyuan, chattering and asking questions, making him feel very helpless.

He thought to himself, are these people really that serious?

He just wanted to get rid of this situation as soon as possible and leave here.

At this moment, a cry of alarm suddenly rang out: "Oh no, oh no, Ziyan Mountain has been lost!"

This sudden news was like a thunderclap, breaking the lively atmosphere at the scene.

Everyone's attention was drawn to the scene, where a panicked disciple hurried over.

Someone hurriedly stopped him and asked what happened?

The man gasped and replied, "It was the largest mine in Ziyan Mountain. It was raided and taken away by the elders of Yunyin Sect and their disciples!"

"what?"

This sentence was like lighting a powder keg, causing an uproar in an instant.

The disciples were talking among themselves, with expressions of shock and anger on their faces.

This mine has always been one of their important resources. Now that it has been robbed, it is undoubtedly a heavy blow.

"Damn it!" an inner sect disciple shouted angrily, "The Yunyin Sect has gone too far!"

He turned to look at everyone, his eyes stern as he spoke: "My fellow disciples, it would be unwise of us to remain unrevenged! We cannot sit idly by, we must retake Ziyan Mountain!"

The disciples were filled with excitement and responded in unison, "That's right! We can't let them succeed!"

As a result, many disciples took action and rushed towards the main peak of Tianjian Sect - Xuanyun Peak like a tide.
