The poorest member of the Imperial Guard, the Empress begged me to embezzle.

"The servant understands."

Yu Xuanji responded, walked over, picked up the black package on the stone table, and thanked Chu Xiu, saying, "On behalf of all the maids and guards in the manor, I thank you for your great kindness, Master."

Chu Xiu smiled and remained silent.

Yu Xuanji bowed and left with the black package.

at this time!

"Congratulations, host, for your persistent efforts in doing positive things, you have received one Ascension Pill, thirty Pure Yang Limitless Pills, and the second strike of the Qiankun Zhentian Blade."

"Do you want to receive the reward?"

The mechanical voice of the positive energy system rang in Chu Xiu's mind.

"Receive award."

Chu Xiu's eyes lit up, and he thought to himself.

Finished!

Countless images flashed through Chu Xiu's mind.

These scenes depict Chu Xiu practicing his swordsmanship.

Suddenly!

Thousands upon thousands of blades converged, and with a single slash, the entire world seemed to be suppressed.

With a single strike, heaven and earth shattered!

"So powerful, is this the Qiankun Zhentian Blade?"

Chu Xiu slowly opened his eyes, a look of shock on his face.

He never expected that the second strike of the Qiankun Zhentian Blade would already possess such terrifying power.

No wonder the first strike of the Qiankun Zhentian Blade corresponds to the Dharma Aspect Realm, while the second strike requires the Ascension Realm to use.

then.

The description of the Ascension Pill appeared in Chu Xiu's mind.

As the name suggests, the Ascension Pill is a pill that allows one to ascend to the Immortal Realm from the peak of the ninth level of the Dharma Aspect Realm.

Breaking through from the Dharma Aspect Realm to the Immortal Ascension Realm is no longer about increasing the power of the Dharma Aspect.

Chu Xiu's Dharma Aspect power had long since reached its limit and could not be increased any further.

Once you step into the Immortal Realm, you've embarked on the true path to immortality!

From this moment on, the mortal and immortal realms are separated!

The two are worlds apart.

Therefore, it is extremely difficult for a martial artist to advance from the Dharma Aspect Realm to the Immortal Ascension Realm.

Countless martial artists are trapped at the peak of the ninth level of the Dharma Aspect Realm, unable to reach the Immortal Ascension Realm!

To ascend to the celestial realm, one must push open the celestial gate!

A glimpse of heaven and earth!

The real difficulty isn't pushing open the gate to immortality.

Instead, it's about bringing forth the Immortal Sect!

The reason why most martial artists who are trapped at the peak of the ninth level of the Dharma Aspect Realm cannot step into the Immortal Ascension Realm is that...

Even the immortal sects cannot be found.

The true function of the Ascension Pill is to manifest the Immortal Gate, giving martial artists at the peak of the ninth level of the Dharma Aspect Realm the opportunity to open the Immortal Gate.

Of course, this refers to a martial artist who follows the path of internal energy cultivation and progresses from the peak of the ninth level of the Dharma Aspect Realm to the Immortal Ascension Realm.

It is not like this for martial artists who practice external martial arts to step from the peak of the ninth level of the Dharma Aspect Realm to the Immortal Ascension Realm.

External martial arts, from beginning to end, are all about strengthening the physical body.

However, for martial artists who practice external martial arts, reaching the Immortal Ascension Realm from the peak of the ninth level of the Dharma Aspect Realm does not mean that their bloodline has reverted to its ancestral form.

Instead, it's the condensation of true blood!

From this day forward, I shall be regarded as the ancestor!

"After we finish eating, we can try to see if we can reach the realm of immortality."

Chu Xiu took a deep breath to calm himself down.

One by one, maids carried in dishes that looked and smelled delicious, and placed them on the stone table in front of Chu Xiu.

Chu Xiu picked up his chopsticks and began to eat.

After eating.

Chu Xiu returned to the courtyard and went into the study.

"Now is the time for me to step into the realm of immortals."

Chu Xiu sat cross-legged on the ground, flipped his left hand, and a jade bottle appeared in his palm. He opened the bottle with his right hand, poured out a crystal-clear golden pill, and put it into his mouth in one gulp.

Boom!

The elixir of immortality melts upon entering the mouth.

This caused Chu Xiu's mental world to tremble at that moment.

A seven-colored spiritual light appeared in Chu Xiu's spiritual world.

This seven-colored spiritual light, like celestial light, continued to expand and eventually transformed into a celestial gate that appeared in Chu Xiu's spiritual world.

As long as Chu Xiu pushes open this immortal gate, he will be able to step into the true realm of immortality!

"The Immortal Gate is breached!"

Chu Xiu's Dharma form grabbed with his right hand, and the Taiqing Zhenyue Blade appeared in his palm. He slashed at the immortal gate with the blade.

Chu Xiu used the Immortal-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique for this strike.

The first strike of the Qiankun Zhentian Blade and the first strike of Ananda's Breaking the Precepts Blade Technique were incorporated into the Immortal Slaying Blade Drawing Technique, causing the power of the Immortal Slaying Blade Drawing Technique to surge.

A terrifying blade of energy formed and slashed down towards the immortal gate.

Rumble!

The Immortal Sect trembled under the bombardment of the Immortal-Slaying Blade Qi!

Ultimately, it shattered completely!

After the Immortal Gate shattered, it transformed into a power containing the power of creation, which merged into Chu Xiu's spiritual world.

This caused his Dharma form to undergo a transformation in that instant.

It is still the same as the Dharma form.

But it seemed to contain a touch of ethereal beauty.

It possesses the air of otherworldly elegance, living on the wind and dew.

The transformation of the Dharma form then feeds back into the physical body.

Although it did not cause Chu Xiu's physical body to undergo a transformation, it did give him a feeling of having immortal skin and jade bones.

"Is this the Ascension Realm?"

Chu Xiu said with a look of amazement on his face.

He could feel that after stepping into the Immortal Realm, the entire world seemed to become clearer in his eyes.

It's as if we've evolved from a 2D world to a 3D world.

Their control over power has also become much stronger.

If you can unleash 80% or 90% of your original strength, that's already quite good.

However, once one reaches the Immortal Ascension Realm, they can unleash 110% or even 120% of their full potential!

Not to mention that once he stepped into the Immortal Ascension Realm, his power had already undergone a transformation, becoming several times stronger.

With his current strength, he is definitely more than ten times stronger than when he was at the peak of the ninth level of the Dharma Aspect Realm!

He didn't need the Killing Blade Formation; he alone was enough to kill the Jinghai monk from Wanfo Temple, who was at the seventh level of the Immortal Ascension Realm, with a single strike.

"However, I have only just stepped into the Immortal Ascension Realm, and I still need to consolidate my realm."

Chu Xiu closed his eyes and began to stabilize his realm.

Chu Xiu's breakthrough was completely silent, thanks to his innate ability to conceal his aura.

Even Yu Xuanji and the others in the mansion were completely unaware.

However, Chu Xiu did not completely conceal his aura. Instead, he used the Innate Breath Concealment Technique to reveal a wisp of his aura, which was exactly the first level of the Dharma Aspect Realm.

Such a level of cultivation is not low, but it is not considered high either.

It's a perfect opportunity to play dumb and outsmart others.

Time flies like an arrow, and years pass like a shuttle.

Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

During these seven days, Chu Xiu did not go to the headquarters of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, nor did he even leave his study.

During these seven days, a large number of martial arts practitioners have gathered in the capital.

Among them were many experts at the Dharma Aspect Realm, and even those at the Immortal Ascension Realm.

The Embroidered Uniform Guards, however, seemed completely unaware of all this.

The entire Embroidered Uniform Guard fell silent.

In addition to Fang Heng dispatching a group of Imperial Guards to hire a group of bricklayers to build public latrines throughout the capital, Fang Heng also ordered the construction of public latrines.

The fact that public toilets were free to use was something that countless people throughout the capital were grateful for Chu Xiu's action of giving them free access to.

Even some people in the martial arts world began to feel favorably toward Chu Xiu after learning about his actions.

Furthermore, after entering the capital, some of the more astute members of the martial arts world had already sensed that something was amiss.

What about suppressing all sects and eliminating all martial arts practitioners?

This sentence is clearly unlikely to have been said by Chu Xiu.

It is highly likely that this was done intentionally by someone with ulterior motives, who wanted to draw hatred towards Chu Xiu and use him to get rid of Chu Xiu.

but.

There is still a group of people in the martial arts world who are single-mindedly determined to get rid of Chu Xiu.

During this time, Chu Xiu did not go out but stayed at home. These martial arts figures, being from the important capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, dared not defy the world and sneak into Chu Xiu's residence to assassinate him.

After all, once they are found out, even if they kill Chu Xiu, they will not be able to leave the capital alive.

The Imperial Guards and the Capital Garrison of the Great Zhou Dynasty are not to be underestimated!

"It's time to go out for a walk."

Chu Xiu opened his eyes, stood up, walked to the door of the study, pushed it open, and went out.

"Master, you've finally emerged from seclusion."

Upon hearing the door open, Yu Xuanji seemed to appear out of thin air in front of Chu Xiu, and said with a look of surprise and delight.

"Has something happened in the capital?"

Chu Xiu smiled slightly and said.
