Chapter 498 - 172: Shaking the Sect, Another Breakthrough

However, the two of them didn’t stay long. They only watched one match before turning to leave.

After all, for Yang Jing, this was just a diversion during a break from his training; he couldn’t let it interfere with his real cultivation.

Later, he heard from Lin Ziheng that the winner of the Cyan Qilin Battle at the end of June was Gao Yang, with Xu Ziqiang in second place and Zhao Chong in third.

They were all top experts of the Cyan Qilin Battle, so Yang Jing wasn’t surprised when he heard the news.

....

In the blink of an eye, it was June 3rd.

On the mountainside of Lingxi Peak, in the Training Room area, the stone door of a Level C Stone House was shut tight.

Yang Jing had just finished practicing the Mountain-Breaking Seal. The lingering whoosh of his punches still echoed within the stone house.

He walked slowly to the cyan meditation cushion in the corner, sat down cross-legged, and closed his eyes to rest for a moment.

Performing an Inner Observation of his Dantian, he felt his Inner Qi surging like a tide. The sigil of the Indestructible True Skill shone brightly within his sea of qi, showing faint signs of a breakthrough.

Yang Jing understood. His Indestructible True Skill was on the verge of breaking through to the Qi Eating Realm.

At the same time, with a thought, a panel silently materialized before his closed eyes, clearly displaying the progress of his various martial arts—

[Mountain-Breaking Seal: Minor Accomplishment (510/2000)]

[Indestructible True Skill: Second Layer Initiate (500/500)]

[Indestructible True Skill: First Layer Perfection (2000/2000)]

[Mountain-Shattering Fist: Perfection (2000/2000)]

[Thunderous Leg: Perfection (2000/2000)]

’Twenty days of hard training... The progress on the Mountain-Breaking Seal isn’t bad, and the Indestructible True Skill is right on the edge of a breakthrough.’

’Still, I really miss training in a Level B Training Room. Even without the help of Elixirs, the training efficiency in a Level B room is nearly three times higher than in a Level C one.’

’If I were training in a Level B Training Room, I would have already broken through to the Qi Eating Realm with the Indestructible True Skill. Even my progress with the Mountain-Breaking Seal would be much greater than it is now!’

’No matter what, I have to do everything I can to get long-term access to a Level B Training Room!’

’It has too great of an impact on my cultivation!’

He immediately opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing within them. He shot to his feet and strode to the spacious center of the stone house.

He planted his feet firmly and sank his waist into a solid stance. An indescribable sense of anticipation surged through him.

’If I can also break through to the Qi Eating Realm with the Indestructible True Skill, how much will my strength increase?’

It was worth remembering that most disciples who could join the Xuanzhen Sect were the chosen ones from all over, individuals of extraordinary talent.

Yet even for these geniuses, breaking through to the Qi Eating Realm was an extremely difficult threshold. Countless people were stuck at the Peak of Transformation, stagnating for years or even decades.

As far as Yang Jing knew, he had never heard of any disciple who had managed to cultivate two different martial arts to the Qi Eating Realm.

Of course, this might have been due to his own limited experience and lack of contact with the outside world.

But it was undeniable that breaking through to the Qi Eating Realm was already as difficult as ascending to the heavens. To break through with two different martial arts was even harder—an almost heaven-defying feat.

What’s more, the two martial arts Yang Jing cultivated were anything but ordinary.

Although the Mountain-Breaking Seal was a Mid-grade True Skill, its power was comparable to a Top-grade True Skill.

The Indestructible True Skill, on the other hand, was a genuine Top-grade True Skill. Every move and stance contained immense power, and its might was utterly astonishing.

The Mountain-Breaking Seal alone was enough to allow someone who had just broken through to the Qi Eating Realm to rival veteran disciples who had been immersed in it for years.

’If the Indestructible True Skill also broke through to the Qi Eating Realm, with two martial arts at the level of Top-grade True Skills complementing each other, how formidable would their combined power be?’

’How much would my own strength increase?!’

"Fushan Grand Competition..."

Yang Jing took a deep breath, slowly suppressing the turbulent excitement and the surging tide of emotion in his heart.

He stood firm in the center of the stone house, knees slightly bent, arms encircling his chest, his back slightly arched—the standard ’Bear Squat’ opening stance of the Indestructible True Skill.

Now, he would gather his energy and, in one fell swoop, push his Indestructible True Skill through to the Qi Eating Realm!
