All realms have enabled me to achieve the Great Dao.

"The eight ancient clans are eight families that possess the bloodline of a Dou Di..."

Bodhi explained to Yunshan what the eight ancient tribes were like.

Although Zhou Yongcheng knew everything, he listened with great interest.

As they chatted, the three returned to the Yunlan Sect, paying little attention to Xiao Yan's affairs.

Zhou Yongcheng already knew Xiao Yan's origins; he had traveled from a parallel world on Earth.

After listening to Bodhi's explanation of the eight ancient clans, Yunshan immediately realized that the Soul Palace was one of the forces developed by the Soul Clan. He had been ambushed by the people of the Soul Palace, and if it weren't for Zhou Yongcheng's appearance, he might have already died. So when he cultivated to the point of being comparable to a Dou Sheng, he wiped out all the people of the Soul Palace in the territory of the Yunlan Sect.

Now that we know there's a Soul Clan behind us, we'd better go and cause them some trouble.

That day, he quietly left the Yunlan Sect, found the Soul Palace's forces elsewhere, and wiped them all out.

As Yunshan eliminated many of the Soul Palace's forces, the Soul Clan also noticed that their developing forces were being wiped out by powerful figures. As a result, several Dou Sheng powerhouses emerged from the Soul Clan to eliminate those who were trying to eliminate their forces.

It was only when they encountered Yunshan that they realized they were being targeted by some powerful figure; even a Dou Sheng would be nothing more than easy prey if he met Yunshan.

After killing the Soul Clan's Battle Saint, Yun Shan also learned that the Soul Clan had a Battle Emperor Space. At the same time, the Soul Heavenly Emperor also learned that a Battle Saint in his clan had been killed.

The strength of someone capable of killing a Dou Sheng should not be underestimated; the Soul Emperor himself has made an appearance to deal with the troublemaker.

The Soul Emperor quickly found Yunshan.

"You're not a Dou Sheng? How could you kill a Dou Sheng expert from my Soul Clan?"

The Soul Emperor scrutinized Yun Shan, but he couldn't discern Yun Shan's cultivation level; he simply couldn't tell.

"I am not a Battle Saint, of course, but since you have come, I will let you know my strength."

Yunshan cultivates the Formless True Scripture, which is formless, imageless, and without form or image. As Yunshan made his move, the Soul Emperor naturally also went all out. This person had killed his Soul Clan Battle Saint, so this person was bound to die.

However, the Soul Emperor overestimated himself and underestimated his enemy. He didn't even see the enemy's figure before being defeated in a few moves.

Yunshan's figure appeared before the Soul Emperor.

"You are several times stronger than those two Battle Saints from a while ago, so you must be the Soul Emperor of the Soul Clan."

"You're not cultivating battle qi?"

"Yes, I practice martial arts."

"Martial arts?"

The Soul Emperor was hearing about this for the first time.

Without wasting any words from the Soul Emperor, Yunshan directly killed him.

When Yunshan made his move, the Soul Emperor abandoned his physical body and his soul fled. But could he really escape?

"If I let you escape under my Formless Domain, I'll be laughed at."

As Yunshan's Formless Domain contracted, Soul Emperor's soul was seized in Yunshan's hand. An invisible fire erupted from Yunshan's hand, burning Soul Emperor's soul to ashes.

After destroying the Soul Emperor, Yun Shan, the remaining members of the Soul Clan, were no longer concerned with the matter and returned to the Yunlan Sect.

Zhou Yongcheng never expected that Soul Emperor would be killed by Yunshan.

As time passed, Zhou Yongcheng kept a close eye on Xiao Yan's movements in the Sutra Pavilion.

This little brother was truly devastated. Xiao Xun'er left him, and he became the laughingstock of the family. All of this was because of that little bitch Nalan, who actually revealed the despicable things he did when he was a child in public.

He originally thought he was keeping it a secret, but little did he know that his betrothed knew all along. He still doesn't understand what happened.

To Xiao Yan's great surprise, the storage ring left by his mother contained the soul of a powerful figure, and he realized that the reason he had become a useless person was because of this person's trickery.

Fortunately, the old alchemist will teach him alchemy, which will allow him to become stronger quickly.

Unable to stay in the family any longer, Xiao Yan left to cultivate elsewhere. With the help of Yao Lao, he believed he could definitely become a powerful figure.

In the Monster Mountain Range, Xiao Yan chatted with Yao Lao.

"Master Yao, do you know what level of expert is capable of tearing through the void with ease?"

"Being able to tear through space at will means you have a very good grasp of spatial power, at least at the Dou Zun level. What, have you seen it?"

"Yes, I used to have a fiancée I was betrothed to since childhood. Her master could open the void at will and form a spatial gate."

"Based on your description, he is at least a semi-saint level expert."

Xiao Yan was on the verge of tears. He desperately wanted to take revenge on them, but he never expected that their master was so powerful.

Next, they hunted magical beasts in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, searched for medicinal herbs, and cultivated their skills.

That day, they encountered several disciples of the Yunlan Sect. Xiao Yan could tell from their clothing that they belonged to the same sect as Nalan Xiaojianren.

"Gentlemen, my name is Lin Dong. May I join you in exploring the Monster Beast Mountain Range?"

Seeing that Xiao Yan was only a Dou Zhe, the Yunlan Sect disciples didn't take him seriously and agreed to let him join the group.

Along the way, they encountered many magical beasts, and Xiao Yan followed along. The more he saw them, the more alarmed he became, because the fighting techniques used by the Yunlan Sect had absolutely nothing to do with fighting spirit.

He saw a person slash out with a knife, creating a blade of energy tens of meters long, which cleaved a deep trench tens of meters long in the ground.

Another person threw a punch, using some unknown fighting technique, which created a giant tiger over ten meters tall behind him. The tiger slapped down and killed a third-tier magical beast instantly.

The more Xiao Yan watched, the more he felt that the fighting techniques they used were very similar to the martial arts techniques he had seen on TV in his previous life.

Especially the one where a single slash unleashes a blade of energy dozens of meters long, which is remarkably similar to the scene in the TV series from my previous life where Nie Feng used the Snow Drinking Saber to unleash a blade of energy over ten meters long.

"Brother, you're not using fighting techniques, are you?" Xiao Yan asked, forcing himself to speak.

"Young man, you have a good eye. We are not cultivating battle qi. We are cultivating a completely new cultivation system called martial arts."

Xiao Yan's mind went blank, leaving him at a loss.

Martial arts?

Are you sure you're not kidding?

The old master Yao said that this is a world where fighting spirit is supreme, so how could martial arts possibly exist?

After calming himself down, Xiao Yan asked.

"Brother, where can I practice martial arts?"

"In the Jia Ma Empire, the martial arts holy land is my Yunlan Sect. Of course, you can also learn martial arts in many large cities of the Jia Ma Empire, but you can only learn basic martial arts. Basic martial arts are the Acquired Realm and the Innate Realm. You can only learn those above the Innate Realm by joining the Yunlan Sect. However, I recently heard that the sect seems to be relaxing the restrictions again, and you can learn Grandmaster and Great Grandmaster Realm techniques in various martial arts schools. I don't know if it's true. Have any of you senior brothers heard about this?"

"There is such a thing. In the future, if you want to join Yunlan Sect, you will have to cultivate to the Martial Core Realm. Fortunately, we were lucky and joined Yunlan Sect many years ago. Later, it was restricted to the Grandmaster Realm to join. Now, it's even worse, the restriction is to the Martial Core Realm."

"Don't be too happy yet. If you don't break through to the Martial Core Realm soon, you'll be sent out to open martial arts schools."

"Then we need to hurry up and find some high-grade medicinal herbs so we can exchange them for True Essence Pills for cultivation."

"I want to comprehend the power of heaven and earth. I heard that the Pill Hall recently launched a new batch of pills called Enlightenment Pills, which can be used to comprehend the power of heaven and earth. I need to quickly earn some contribution points."
