Chapter 154: Reverse Inner Alchemy Opportunity, Exchange Tournament

Chapter 154: Reverse Inner Alchemy Opportunity, Exchange Tournament

Ji Jingqiu sat cross-legged in the center of the training ground, facing his senior brother Shi Xuan Zhen.

The qi energy around his body surged, resembling a vast and deep sea, with dark currents swirling on its surface, as if a storm's eye was forming within, where a pair of golden dragons and tigers were fighting in the air.

The so-called qi energy divine form not only engraves the principles of the dragon and tiger within it but also integrates the visualization true intention cultivated through the visualization diagram.

Shi Xuan Zhen's Dragon Tiger Divine Form was mighty and unmatchable, with a trend of yin and yang harmony.

As for Ji Jingqiu's Formless Divine Form, it originally should have maintained the characteristics of the Mixed Primordial Energy, being elusive and untraceable. However, after he comprehended the Water Moon True Intention and the Water Moon Domain, some changes occurred.

Moreover, he had been continuously refining the mountain and water divine form within his body, making the "volume" of his qi energy quite formidable, giving it a sense of depth and vastness like the sea.

"Little brother's progress is truly astonishing," Shi Xuan Zhen shook his head in amazement.

Ji Jingqiu nodded in agreement.

In the midst of this, the chat:

【Standing Out Among Chickens】: Huh? You? Me? 【Sword Heart Enlightenment】: Brother Ji is indeed a great talent!

North Seventh Crane Star.

"Do not underestimate the warriors here!" Lu Sen said, "The Federation's martial arts system is not weak!"

"It's Dao Lord Long and Mr. Ji, right? Oh, I made a mistake in the arrangements!" The middle-aged man showed a look of apology, "I'm from the War Command Department. Please wait a moment, we've arranged a nearby spaceship to take you both to your resting place."

Long Qingyang glanced at him, "Most of them have already been suppressed by you, haven't they?"

"What is the name of the Dharmakaya Domain you just displayed?"

Ji Jingqiu looked up, the buildings on both sides were quite tall, with over a hundred floors, but they were quite old, showing varying degrees of corrosion on the exterior walls, making them look somewhat dilapidated and desolate.

【Reed】: Uh, I can't understand it either. ps: Brother Feng's username is really abstract.

He gently pinched a strand of his beard, "However, I can understand the elders living here

-19, White Deer City

- 19th Street, White Deer City

This was his first full-force attack after his power body reached the Apex of the post-heaven realm.

"Good, it can be compared to our past Martial Sun standards," Long Qingyang nodded, "This time, the three families are just probing and haven't used their full strength. The Federation's stance is very clear: they must win. If they can't even win in this situation, the three families will underestimate us."

Ji Jingqiu was impressed. This was the complete Heavenly Dao Ground, where the rules within the dao ground were written by the Dao Lord, leaving him with no means to fight back.

On the opposite side of the street.

Ji Jingqiu was taken aback, realizing that this referred to Yue Youcong and Yin Wushuang.

Long Qingyang nodded slightly.

Ross sneered, "At least I haven't seen a single young warrior who can fight so far."

The hardest part lies in "induction."

"This time, including the Federation, a total of four ancient civilizations are participating in the exchange tournament: the Holy Hall Civilization, the Luofeng Ancient Kingdom, and the High Court Civilization."

An invisible aura clash began.

"Style is for friends, not for enemies," Long Qingyang said, "Remember, Commander Ji once said, the Federation remembers a friend's kindness for a lifetime and pursues an enemy to the death. You are young and don't understand this yet. When the Heavenly Path first appeared, we faced a lot of difficulties from them."

...

"By the end of this year, the Federation will enter a brilliant era of shining stars," Long Qingyang said softly, "This generation's dao ground has Xuan Zhen in charge and you as the anchor."

Ji Jingqiu almost burst out laughing.

Facing the opposition, but still willing to take the specially arranged flight to Dong3 Huang Star via the Four Guardian Star.

Some warriors achieved it by defeating a formidable opponent.

—Recently, it has been circulating among the major powers that the Divine Might Corporation liquidated a subsidiary's total assets to obtain a Bodhimanda Fruit for their family's Third Blade Brother.

He wasn't very clear about the value of these two supplements.

Later, Lou Qinglan replied that they had already negotiated with the travel company, who warmly welcomed talented young men like Ji Jingqiu and formally invited him to sit in the VIP seat of the first-class cabin. The Celestial Grandmaster escorting the trip would also be present in the VIP seat...

The Federation Martial Arts has a basic criterion for the Star Cluster, which is a 90% completion of the superior power body paired with a fully developed superior combat skill.

Speaking of this, the elder continued, "Back then, White Deer was like this, attacking without restraint, nearly killing a generation of Daoists at the Sun Moon Dao Ground, which led to a long-standing feud with the Sun Moon Dao ground. Sigh, endless feuds never end well."

Ji Jingqiu thought for a moment and said, "Among the few we are sending this time, some might already possess the strength of a past Martial Sun, right?"

However, before that...

Inside the room, another young man frowned slightly.

Long Qingyang thought for a moment and said, "You can go a bit easier on the kids from the Sun Moon Dao ground later."

JI Jingqiu lowered his head and, through the reflection on the water's surface, met the gaze of the white-haired man.

But for Celestial Warriors, there is no specific evaluation; the only way to judge is by overpowering other Star Cluster warriors, typically determined by the collective decision of the judges at the tournament.

In an instant.

"Uninteresting, let's finish this quickly. I need to go back and prepare for the year-end Starry Corridor," another cold-faced warrior walked out.

【I Have a Big Gun】: No, what the hell? Are you an animal?!

Once the Reverse Inner Alchemy opportunity is sensed, the next steps are straightforward: meet the conditions of the opportunity.

"Ticket?" Shi Xuan zhen was taken aback. "What kind of opportunity is this? Um, I've already arranged for it. If nothing goes wrong, in twenty days, it will be the day I Reverse Inner Alchemy."

"Can't take it anymore, what the hell is this?" A tall young man, over two meters tall with red hair and eyebrows, kicked the window frame in front of him.

"For now, the only ones we need to be aware of are these few."

"Uh... How does Dragon Lord think my current strength compares to a Martial Sun?"

(End Chapter)

Ji Jingqiu's eyes burned with intensity as he asked, "How has your health been lately, Shidi?"

"It's a ship ticket for a flight in twenty days. So, I won't make it for this exchange competition, but it'll be in time for the Great Martial Arts Tournament," Shi Xuanzhen explained.

In the depths of the wilderness, one of Hera's divine titles was the Dream Goddess, and her original divine name included the title 'Master of Dreams', making her the embodiment of the world's dreams and nightmares.

But after taking it, he discovered that it not only strengthened his foundation and enhanced his self, but its effects far surpassed that of the Thousand-Year Azure Jade that Yan Ruhuo had forced upon him that day. Ji Jingqiu couldn't help but marvel at his own extravagance, choosing to embark on the path of enhancement through medicine.

Ji Jingqiu took a step forward, raised his blade, and slashed down.

The calm water suddenly rippled, as if the earth beneath their feet was trembling! Long Qingyang and the elder from another civilization sensed the disturbance and simultaneously turned their attention towards it.

You Rong: ?

Ji Jingqiu's mind quieted down.

"Their first tier is comparable to our Radiant Warriors," Ji Jingqiu said.

"Of course. I understand the Federation's approach, but I still don't like it. I'll keep this emotion and express it to the younger generation of their next generation," Mo Guang said with a shake of his head.

"Tsk, tsk. They're really 'hospitable' here, inviting people to stay in such a place," Long Qingyang remarked with a peculiar tone.

But he had no choice; the curse must be broken.

"Isn't this the Water Moon Dharmic Realm of Wan Cheng? How can you not recognize it, Lord Long?" Ji Jingqiu asked with a hint of doubt.

He slowly said,

Not long ago, a rain shower had left the streets of this old city district filled with puddles, and the sky remained overcast with lingering clouds.

For him, who had pushed his Dao Body progress to 99.9%, the Four Guardian Star Environment and Domain offered little benefit.

Ji Jingqiu wasn't arrogant; he was well aware that his rapid progress in the last half a month was mainly due to the "supplements" specially delivered by the Temple of Gods.

The middle-aged man was speechless.

"I'm curious about the top-tier young warriors of this generation in the Federation. What's the situation with them now?" Ji Jingqiu asked.

According to the records, on his nineteenth birthday, he went to the market himself to buy flour and meat filling, returned to his once-dilapidated home, and made himself a bowl of wonton, finally reconciling with his past.

Despite his composure, he couldn't help but marvel at this moment.

Another young man remained silent for a moment before saying, "I understand your anger, but hold it in for now and unleash it in the next exchange competition."

Mo Guang spoke softly, "Sometimes, I feel like they're really stupid. What makes them think the Federation will treasure our goodwill? Just because we've been making things difficult for them for the past ten thousand years?"

The Federation's top virtual technology could only operate on the Four Guardian Stars, and even the most advanced virtual technology struggled to perfectly replicate a warrior's strength in all aspects, always facing various limitations.

It was the same ship ticket left by his grandfather.

Ji Jingqiu was all too familiar with this fluctuation.

Shi Xuanzhen was curious. For a young warrior like Ji Jingqiu, a genius blessed by heaven, what would his Reverse Inner Alchemy Opportunity be?

And so it was.

For ten thousand years, the Federation had tirelessly advanced in their utilization of Hera's research, constantly striving for the summit.

But later, he reversed his innate nature.

The next day...

This incident left a deep wound in the warrior's heart.

"...Let's change your name. How about Haiyue?" Long Qingyang suggested without expression, "If you think it's inappropriate, we can call it 'The Moon Rising Over the Sea'."

Ji Jingqiu calmly said,

...

Yunyin: What have you been eating lately? Liudao Tianzi: I can't understand this!

He wasn't worried about Longsa losing, but rather that Longsa might hurt this young man, and this Celestial Warrior would break the rules of martial conduct and attack! In their ancient kingdom, Longsa was one of the few young people who possessed the Blade Fiend, just one step away from condensing the Blade Soul! In past combat records, he could crush enemies from the spiritual level with the Blade Fiend!

"Of course!" Ross coldly laughed, "Lu Sen, I'll go first. I'll tear these scoundrels apart! Let them understand the gap between cultivation systems!"

The city exuded the unique desolation of the post-industrial era, like a place long abandoned.

Ji Jingqiu politely declined the invitation once again.

The War Command Department comrade's face clearly showed he was just going through the motions.

That's how it should be.

Even in the context of the Federation's ten thousand years of martial history, it was absolutely top-notch.

Long Qingyang's hand paused as he stroked his beard.

Upon entering this realm, his Formless Dharmakaya naturally condensed the Water Moon Dharmic Realm.

Everyone was different.

Within the Federation's martial system, to forge a Superior Power Body, one must travel to the Four Guardian Stars, condense Psychic Energy, and sculpt the Superior Power Body with the help of the unique domain there.

First, this exchange battle was a practical test.

...

After finishing this exchange competition, he planned to visit Dong3 Huang Star and stay there until the day of departure.

Mo Guang stood by the glass window, gazing at the dilapidated and desolate city outside, and sighed, "Then, won't Qing Shan miss the chance to spar with his idol?"

Everyone's Reverse Inner Alchemy Opportunity is different, and this is related to various factors such as the warrior's current state, past experiences, cultivated martial arts, mindset, and even obsessions.

This slash was frozen in mid-air in front of him.

Longsa's face grew solemn, and his blade intent, instead of crushing the young man before him, seemed to awaken something.

Reversing Innate Nature is a profound and mystical extreme realm, essentially a Rebirth, a transformation of the self, and a Perfection, involving the sublimation of the spirit.

Ji Jingqiu was puzzled but didn't argue with the elder, only asking, "Does this slash have the qualifications to challenge Radiant Warriors?"

Long Qingyang pondered for a moment and said, "Show me your strongest attack."

He turned to look back.

Ji Jingqiu contemplated for a moment before politely declining the offer. He decided to stick with the standard cabin ticket that his grandfather had purchased for him.

The middle-aged man bowed slightly and then turned to the other middle-aged man, suppressing his anger. "Mr. Feng, is it necessary to humiliate us like this? If you won't provide us with accommodations, we can pay for them ourselves!"

Indeed, the very foundation of martial arts.

Ji Jingqiu couldn't help but feel a twinge of pain when he thought about the two medicinal supplements.

...

"Won't this battle be publicly broadcast?"

His opportunity for reversing the innate was a ship ticket from an overseas travel company.

Long Qingyang chuckled. "Obviously, this is to make things difficult for the delegations of these three families. As for embarrassment? That's not important. What matters is who needs whom. The Federation has found a passage to the Nine Provinces and no longer cares about the attitudes of these three families."

Suddenly, he turned around and saw a middle-aged man hurrying towards them.

The middle-aged man sighed. "Our movements are being monitored constantly. It's impossible to enter the Four Guardian Stars. I'm afraid this mission won't be completed."

Moreover, with his current identity, he could easily obtain a free first-class ticket if he wanted. There was no need to squeeze into a standard cabin.

"A Celestial?" Ji Jingqiu's expression showed a hint of respect. Even in the Luofeng Ancient Kingdom, Celestials were undoubtedly the privileged class.

This warrior was the military lord of the Third Army Group and one of the key figures advocating for a high-pressure policy in the western region.

Ji Jingqiu mused, "Where is the grandeur of a great nation?"

Lu Sen replied, "It's normal. I've inquired, and the truly skilled young generation of the Federation are either in the Four Guardian Stars or traveling around, seeking Gate-Breaking Opportunities."

This group was formed after our last drinking session, but no one really talks in it. At most, someone occasionally shares a few martial arts videos or issues a challenge.

Ji Jingqiu curiously asked, "Are they human-shaped or non-human? Are they similar to us?"

Even in Dong 3 Huang Star's TA City, such a situation wouldn't occur in the middle and lower classes.

"Now? Is this place suitable?" Ji Jingqiu glanced around.

...

The Federation had indeed chosen a great location.

Shi Xuanzhen shook his head. "No. The Four Guardian Stars are the foundation of martial arts for the Federation. The higher-ups don't intend to let these foreign civilizations discover the secrets of the Four Guardian Stars."

The next day, he planned to continue attempting to break free from the curse net and consolidate his martial arts.

[Six Paths Celestial]: You're not Reed.

...

Ji Jingqiu's expression turned solemn. After regulating his breathing, he stood up and drew his blade.

The middle-aged man with the surname Feng quickly apologized, insincerely expressing that North 7 Crane Star was a planet with a rich historical heritage, and holding the exchange competition there was a serious consideration by the Federation. They just didn't anticipate the recent surge in tourists, making it difficult to spare extra rooms...

In just one month, he pushed the Formless Dao Body from 96% to 99.9%. Such progress could indeed be described as astonishing.

This left Ji Jingqiu somewhat perplexed.

Even some glass windows were damaged, but instead of being repaired, they were covered with wooden boards or other objects.

Lu Sen sighed softly, "The secrets of ancient gods... What a fortunate race. Their rapid rise must be due to these ancient secrets, right? I heard they've discovered the passage to the Nine Provinces. If not suppressed, they might catch up with us."

According to the records, this person was born in a war-torn region in the west. On his eighth birthday, he suddenly craved dumplings. His mother went out to buy meat filling and dough, but she encountered a firefight with rebels and never returned home.

Long Qingyang nodded slightly. "Your leader this time is Yan Dongshun. In terms of overall combat power, he's already on par with the previous generation of Radiant Warriors."

During this time, he consumed two medicinal supplements and made multiple attempts to break free from the curse net's restraints.

"These three civilizations are human-like alliances, just like our Federation. Therefore, their overall appearance isn't too different from ours. The main difference lies in their physiques."

Ji Jingqiu was stunned.

Moguang remained noncommittal. "It's just a matter of how the Holy Temple treated the Federation back then, and how the Federation is treating them now. Rest assured, it's just an old and worn-out place. I won't be deterred by a little hardship."

Long Qingyang glanced at him but didn't respond.

Ji Jingqiu nodded in satisfaction after seeing everyone's slight surprise. He replied with a "received" and then put down his terminal, entering his cultivation.

After chatting with Shi Shixiong, he confirmed their departure time for tomorrow noon.

"What's the problem?" The man called Ross's expression turned fierce. "There's no one on the other side. These lowly people arranged for us to stay in an abandoned city! They're insulting us! Insulting the great Luofeng Ancient Kingdom!"

As for Martial Sun, it was even more straightforward. Either they reached two out of three thresholds or dominated their peers in the Great Martial Arts Tournament.

If he remembered correctly, this person had comprehended the heart-settling of impermanence.

Ji Jingqiu asked, "Brother Shi, isn't the battlefield for this battle outside the Four Guardian Stars?"

With a loud bang, the metal window frame flew into the opposite building, causing another loud explosion! Instantly, alarms sounded all around! "Ross! Be mindful of the impact!"

Ji Jingqiu felt a sudden realization.

Each attempt triggered a riot in the curse net, injuring his true self, but it quickly recovered with the continuous replenishment from the medicine.

"Luofeng's Longsa, the Holy Temple's Moguang, and High Court's Gu Weiyin."

The middle-aged man respectfully said, "According to the information we've gathered, the Federation's most prosperous generation hasn't truly matured yet. With your strength, Prince of the Holy Son, you can easily sweep through them."

"Sweep through them...?"

"These three individuals are undisputed first-tier talents in their respective civilizations and are the leaders of the True Seed Realm teams for the three families on this trip."

...

These two medicinal supplements were originally enough to greatly enhance a warrior's true self, but for him, they only served to heal his injuries, making him feel a bit heartbroken.

"Doesn't the official side worry about losing face?" Ji Jingqiu asked.

Lou Qinglan asked if he wanted to rebook a new ticket, and the group could help him get the highest-grade one.

Long Qingyang did not intervene.

Ross's eyes flashed as he spoke, "The Federation is reluctant to let us enter the Four Guard Stars, and the information we have is correct. They might have stolen the secrets of the ancient gods! They don't want us landing on the Four Guard Stars because they fear we'll take what's rightfully theirs."

Recalling the warrior with the surname Yan they met before, Moguang sighed and said, "The Federation still has a few warriors worth noting."

Ji Jingqiu followed Long Qingyang out of the airport and, with a designated escort, arrived at an old and dilapidated part of the city.

Just then, an elderly man with a hint of anger appeared. He seemed to be looking for the middle-aged man, but upon seeing Long Qingyang, his expression changed.

Ji Jingqiu nodded and asked, "Dragon Lord, how do these power systems of different civilizations compare to the Federation?"

His reversing innate itinerary had already been arranged.

Hearing the words 'Dragon Lord', Long Qingyang's eyebrows visibly relaxed, no longer as stern as before.

After Shi Shixiong left.

He had just exerted his full strength, and not a single one of the Law Domain and the Dao Field, Unity Art, was missed.

In an old and dilapidated hotel.

"Much better," Ji Jingqiu said seriously. "After this retreat, I've achieved a well-rounded and complete feeling, both inside and out. My opportunity has already appeared."

Ji Jingqiu followed Long Qingyang onto the Federation's official spaceship, heading to the North Seventh Crane Star in the North Seventh District, the closest to the central area.

This conversation sounded vaguely familiar.

Long Qingyang sighed, "In this generation, according to past standards, a rough estimate would yield at least twenty to thirty Martial Sun warriors." Ji Jingqiu's spirit lifted, and his fighting intent surged, "Who are they?"

There was nothing flashy, seemingly ordinary, yet it felt like a return to simplicity. This strike silenced the initial silence, followed by a thunderous roar!

After consuming the Bodhimanda Fruit, he smoothly touched the threshold of reversing innate, just as Shi Shixiong had said. He perceived the opportunity of reversing innate in the shadows, just like Shi Shixiong had mentioned.

Later, he tasted countless types of dumplings but never found the taste of his mother's dumplings from his memories. He was stuck at this stage of reversing innate for a full two years.

Some people pushed their Power Body progress to 98%, even 99%, and still couldn't sense the reversing innate.

At this moment.

As soon as the words were spoken, an invisible wave enveloped his body and expanded, changing the colors of the surrounding world, as if he had entered another realm.

Upon arriving at the North Seventh Crane Star.

"Oh, where's Longsa?" Lu Sen looked around but couldn't find the captain.

Any elixir that could assist warriors in touching the opportunity of reversing innate was priced at a sky-high cost.

Chapter 69

"The systems of different civilizations may not be the same, but there are commonalities. For example, the way we categorize realms is quite similar. In the past, we thought these were different paths, but recently, we've discovered traces of the Nine Provinces' power system."

On the spaceship, Long Qingyang and Ji Jingqiu sat together, and Long Qingyang briefly introduced the arrangements for the exchange competition and their opponents.

Upon seeing Longsa, the old man's face changed slightly, and he cautiously glanced at Long Qingyang beside him.

A complete Heavenly Dao Field! The Heavenly Person's Heavenly Dao Field, once unfolded, could change heaven and earth! Long Qingyang firmly said, "Let's begin."

"Junior Brother, tomorrow at noon, someone will come to find you. This trip, the Dragon Master will accompany you to the exchange competition," Shi Xuanzhen said.

The Law Domain's ability was simple: it enhanced the user's manipulation of principles within its range and amplified the power of supernatural abilities.

The Divine Lord chose to send these two supplements, giving him the capital to make mistakes and try again.

A white-clad, white-haired man stood there, over two meters tall, holding a deep red, enchanting long blade in one hand. He lowered his head, and his cold eyes stared at Ji Jingqiu's reflection through the puddle in the middle of the road.

He looked around.

"Enough, stop discussing," a slightly agitated warrior said impatiently. "It's not us who decide whether to fight or not; it's the Celestial Battle that follows."

Ji Jingqiu didn't say more, his mind calm and serene.

The middle-aged man standing behind him sighed, "The Federation's hostility towards us is clear. This time, Your Highness has suffered."

In the records of the Dragon Tiger Dojo, there was a warrior named Yan Lie who had reversed innate. His opportunity was a bowl of dumplings, a bowl from the depths of his memory.

Currently, he had contacted Lou Qinglan, asking him to help change the boarding location of this ticket from the Four Guard Stars to the East Third Huang Star.

Cicada: Good news, good news! My Power Body has entered the Apex of Post-Heaven Realm. Tomorrow, I'm going to the exchange competition!

As for the virtual technology of the Four Guard Stars, including the White Jade Capital, was, to put it bluntly, a combination of Hera's power.

You Rong: Good luck at the exchange competition!

He Li Ji Qun: Crush those barbarians!...

These warriors, with their Power Bodies, combat skills, and visualization diagrams, were well-rounded and qualified to receive the title of Martial Stars.

Long Qingyang stared at the blade in front of him, raised his hand, and deflected the long blade, sighing:

"Hmm?" Shi Xuanzhen asked curiously, "What's your opportunity?"

Next was to figure out how to break the curse net.

Ji Jingqiu thought for a moment, took out his terminal, and entered a group chat.

Behind the young man, a boundless blood-killing energy that only they could perceive between them was slowly spreading.

Longsa was shocked. How many lives had this young man taken to gather such blood-killing energy? Soon, he saw within the blood-killing energy a blood tiger with a blood-colored phoenix shadow, fierce and violent, staring at Longsa's shoulder.

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone! I'm busy today, but I finally made it home for the festival. Aba...
