All realms have enabled me to achieve the Great Dao.

Xiao Yan and the people from the Yunlan Sect stayed in the Monster Mountain Range for several days. Because of his low cultivation level, the people from the Yunlan Sect gave him some medicinal herbs that he could use, as well as some other low-grade medicinal herbs.

During this time, Xiao Yan learned about the cultivation realms of martial arts from them, and also learned about Nalan Yanran's martial arts realm, the Divine Realm.

He learned from the people of the Yunlan Sect that the Tong Shen Realm was comparable to the Dou Zong Realm.

This completely stunned Xiao Yan. Damn it, someone about the same age as him had already cultivated to the Dou Zong realm. Was this something a human could do?

What puzzled him most was how martial arts had appeared in the Yunlan Sect.

No matter how he inquired, he couldn't get a single useful piece of information from the people of the Yunlan Sect.

After leaving the Monster Mountain Range, they went their separate ways.

"Kid, you don't actually want to cultivate that kind of martial arts, do you?" Yao Lao asked.

"Why, can't it?"

“Okay, why not? Martial arts are indeed powerful and easier to cultivate. Moreover, martial arts techniques are extremely strong. If the destructive power of a Grandmaster-level martial artist is so strong, I really don’t know how strong the martial artists at higher levels are. However, didn’t you say that you have a grudge against the Yunlan Sect?”

"Who says you can't practice martial arts if you have a grudge? I only have a grudge against that little bitch Nalan, not the Yunlan Sect."

“There is a difference. Nalan Yanran is the young sect leader. Once she inherits the Yunlan Sect, you will have a grudge against the Yunlan Sect.”

"The problem is that she is not the sect leader of Yunlan Sect yet."

So Xiao Yan found a martial arts school in a nearby city and began to practice martial arts.

In a training room, Yao Lao and Xiao Yan were studying the secret manuals they had purchased from the martial arts school.

They hadn't expected to be able to buy a martial arts manual from a martial arts school, and the manual was quite cheap. Xiao Yan directly bought a manual that could be cultivated to the peak of the Innate Realm.

The two quickly finished reading the Sacred Flame Manual. Xiao Yan could only understand the basic parts, while Yao Lao was extremely shocked after reading it.

"It's a remarkable cultivation technique, very suitable for you to practice, especially the Pure Yang True Fire described above, which is very powerful, provided you can cultivate it."

"Then I'll switch to practicing martial arts techniques."

"What good would it do if I said no?" The old apothecary rolled his eyes.

Xiao Yan chuckled but didn't say anything.

After mastering the acquired cultivation techniques, Xiao Yan began to practice them.

Zhou Yongcheng withdrew his gaze from Xiao Yan; this guy had actually chosen to cultivate the Sacred Flame Technique.

The Sacred Flame Technique is indeed a good fire-attribute cultivation technique, but it is not easy to cultivate and has high requirements for aptitude. However, it is not a problem for Xiao Yan at all.

On this day, Zhou Yongcheng appeared under the Bodhi tree, bid farewell to Bodhi, and left the Doupo world.

Zhou Yongcheng passed down martial arts in the Doupo World, changing the cultivation pattern of the Doupo World and breaking the ironclad rule that one could not ascend to immortality.

When Yunshan and Yunyun learned that Zhou Yongcheng had left, and that such a day would come, they were not surprised.

Not long after, in the main hall of the Yunlan Sect, Zhou Yongcheng's statue was placed at the head of the table.

Meanwhile, a huge statue of a deity stands in the very center of the training ground.

Yun Yun summoned everyone in the Yunlan Sect and told the disciples that the statue was the Martial Ancestor who taught martial arts, and that any martial artist who cultivated martial arts should worship it devoutly.

After some time, the Gama Empire built temples of the God of War in many large cities for people to worship.

That day, Xiao Yan emerged from the Monster Mountain Range and overheard many people discussing the Martial Ancestor Temple.

Xiao Yan learned of the existence of the Martial Ancestor Temple from this. He had always been curious about how martial arts spread in this world of Dou Qi, and it turned out that it was passed down by the Martial Ancestor.

Upon arriving at the Wuzu Temple, one finds it packed with people, many of whom come to offer their devout prayers.

Xiao Yan squeezed his way into the Martial Ancestor Temple for a long time, and when he saw the image of the Martial Ancestor, his jaw almost dropped.

Was the Martial Ancestor a Taoist priest?

There are no Taoist priests in this world.

Could it be that the Martial Ancestor was a person from the Dragon Kingdom?

The Martial Ancestor must be at the Yunlan Sect. Hurry up and cultivate so you can go see him and ask if he can still return to Blue Star.

As time passed, Yun Shan, atop the Yunlan Sect, broke through to the Celestial Realm. He truly felt the existence of the Upper Realm, and he also sensed that the Dou Qi Continent could no longer contain him.

Even after breaking through to the Celestial Realm, he was not in a hurry to go to the Upper Realm. He would first cultivate properly in the Lower Realm before going up.

However, after breaking through to the Celestial Realm, he felt that his cultivation progressed very slowly by absorbing battle qi.

However, he didn't care. He knew that the higher the cultivation level, the higher the required level of Qi. Battle Qi was too low-level and was no longer suitable for absorption and cultivation.

Under the Bodhi tree, the clouds and the Bodhi tree are playing chess.

"Brother Bodhi, when are you going to the Upper Realm?"

"The Upper Realm isn't so easy to navigate. Anyway, I don't need to worry about my lifespan. I'll just stay in the Dou Qi Continent for a while and enjoy some peace and quiet."

"That's what I think too. I wonder what the upper realm is like."

"I heard a senior mention that the Upper Realm isn't much more advanced than the Lower Realm, but the senior didn't go into details."

Yunshan nodded thoughtfully.

“There is one downside to cultivating martial arts. If you cultivate to the level of a Dou Di, your descendants’ bloodline will not change much, unlike cultivating Dou Qi, where your descendants’ bloodline will also benefit when you reach the Dou Di level.”

"Every advantage has its disadvantages. Would you rather go back to the time before your predecessor arrived?"

Yunshan shook his head vigorously. He was joking. Before the arrival of the senior, he was nothing. The fact that the Yunlan Sect was chosen by the senior and became the senior's foothold in this world made Yunshan laugh in his dreams. The Yunlan Sect could be said to be the luckiest sect in the Dou Qi Continent, without exception.

Before the arrival of the predecessors, the entire continent was controlled by those descendants of the Dou Di bloodline. Now, what about the Soul Emperor? He was still killed.

"Then it's over."

Several years have passed.

One day, the Little Fairy Doctor traveled to the Gama Empire.

Because of the Yunlan Sect, the Jia Ma Empire has become the number one empire in this remote place. Many small countries have submitted to the Jia Ma Empire. As for those powerful countries that invaded the Jia Ma Empire, they have been destroyed and their territories have all become part of the Jia Ma Empire.

Little Fairy Doctor saw the statue in the Martial Ancestor Temple and worshipped it very devoutly.

When she learned that the Martial Ancestor came from the Yunlan Sect, she went to the Yunlan Sect, learned about the situation, and then joined the Yunlan Sect.

As time passed, the influence of the Yunlan Sect gradually expanded, and the spread of martial arts became more and more widespread. People all over the continent came to know about martial arts and the Yunlan Sect.

Those ancient families who considered themselves powerful wanted to take advantage of the Yunlan Sect, but a single elder from the Yunlan Sect easily subdued their entire families. From then on, no one dared to mess with the Yunlan Sect.

Zhongzhou ancient family.

Xiao Yan arrived at the Gu family.

Gu Yuan sized up Xiao Yan; this was the guy his daughter couldn't forget.

"Are you Xiao Yan?"

"Yes."

"You cultivate martial arts?" Gu Yuan asked again. Due to the different cultivation systems, Gu Yuan did not know what realm Xiao Yan was in.

"Correct."

"What level of cultivation have you reached?"

"The Realm of Dharma Appearance".

"Dharma Aspect Realm? Then wouldn't you be comparable to a Dou Zun?"

"more or less."

Xiao Yan held back; during his previous travels, he encountered a two-star Dou Sheng, whom he easily crushed.

"If you can defeat one of the three-star Dou Sheng in my clan, I will allow you to be with Xun'er."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's expression turned somewhat strange.

Gu Yuan saw this and assumed he was afraid.

In the end, Xiao Yan agreed.

Gu Yuan summoned a three-star Dou Sheng and asked him to spar with Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan did not use any martial arts supernatural powers or martial arts avatars; he only used ordinary martial arts techniques to spar with a three-star Dou Sheng.

He sometimes used artistic conception, and sometimes he mobilized the power of heaven and earth. The two fought to a standstill.

Seeing that the fight had gone far enough, Xiao Yan unleashed his Pure Yang True Fire.

As soon as the Pure Yang True Fire was unleashed, the surrounding space felt as if it were being burned and collapsing.

Gu Yuan quickly stopped him upon seeing this.

"All right."

Xiao Yan put away his true fire with a smile on his face. The Pure Yang True Fire was his natal spirit fire that he awakened when he cultivated to the Martial Core realm. It was extremely powerful. Even when Yao Lao saw Xiao Yan's natal spirit fire, he was so frightened that he hid as if he had seen a ghost.

"What kind of strange fire did you just take out? How come it's so powerful?"

"Strange fire? No, no, no, that's my natal spirit fire that I awakened when I was cultivating martial arts. It's incomparable to any strange fire."

Gu Yuan never expected that cultivating martial arts could awaken a spiritual fire even more powerful than a strange fire, which made him want to cultivate martial arts himself.

There are martial arts schools in Zhongzhou, but those who go there to learn martial arts are mostly ordinary people. Powerful forces with a bit of influence don't bother with martial arts training.

Xiao Yan passed Gu Yuan's test and was allowed to be with his daughter.

More than a decade has passed, and almost everyone on the Dou Qi Continent is now practicing martial arts, because practicing martial arts makes it easier to break through to higher realms.

Over the years, dozens of people have broken through the passage to the Upper Realm and gone there, which has motivated martial artists on the Dou Qi Continent to want to go to the Upper Realm as well.
