"Could it be... it must be this way!"

Wang Xu thought of a possibility.

Actually, all insights of "Zheng" already exist within itself!

When cultivators continually cultivate "Zheng" and strengthen their soul power, these insights will naturally appear in their minds, saving them the effort of sudden understanding.

"So it is..." Upon realizing this, Wang Xu was enlightened, "That explains the harsh conditions set by the Great Emperor of Profound Dragon."

This challenge is too difficult.

In the Five Elements Saint Venerable Realm, one must not only face the siege of ten Ancestor Realm Golden Dragons but also enslave them.

This almost absurd difficulty has trapped everyone here for countless years, and no one has been able to overcome it.

Perhaps even the Great Emperor of Profound Dragon felt these conditions were too inhumane, thus making subtle adjustments to "Zheng," reducing the difficulty significantly.

One must realize that a Chaos Primordial Technique is extremely difficult to perfect even for a Saint Venerable Ancestor.

But with the insights left behind by the Great Emperor of Profound Dragon, everything is different.

The path has been paved for you; there is no need to slowly explore on your own, just follow the footsteps of predecessors to reach the other side.

"It seems they haven't discovered this yet," thought Wang Xu.

The difficulty of enhancing soul power is even greater than that of realm power and law power.

Especially for cultivators not skilled in Chaos Primordial Techniques related to the soul, it's just like children encountering complex calculus, where they understand nothing.

Even if occasionally one or two Saint Venerable Ancestors gain some insight, they won't perceive anything.

Like a frog being boiled slowly, the frog remains clueless.

"As long as the soul power reaches a certain level, insights will automatically emerge... Haha! This is a heaven-sent opportunity, You Ji! Good news!" Wang Xu laughed.

"What good news?" You Ji was "enjoying" the delicacies.

Wang Xu slowly recounted this matter to You Ji.

"Is this true?!" You Ji's tone carried some surprise.

"Of course, while fighting, how could I comprehend 'Zheng,' but once my soul power reached a certain level, insights related to 'Zheng' unexpectedly emerged in my mind, it must be so!" Wang Xu affirmed.

"Well, that's great!"

You Ji shouted excitedly, "Since that's the case, let me cultivate 'Zheng' too! Seeing those Saint Venerable Ancestors looking so dejected before, I thought this thing was difficult to cultivate. Now it seems I can also reach the Sixth Level!"

"Great! Once I cultivate to the Fifth Level, I'll let you have the soul power!" Wang Xu said.

"Hehe, that's unnecessary; my soul power's magnitude is more exaggerated than you think, I might reach the Sixth Level of 'Zheng' overnight!" You Ji chuckled.

Having discovered the knack, Wang Xu naturally became more relentless in slaughtering the Silver Dragons.

The Silver Dragons came endlessly; no matter how many Wang Xu killed, they were never exhausted.

Time swiftly passed, and before he knew it, Wang Xu had stayed in the Dragon Circle with Silver Dragons for a whole thousand years!

"Why is he still killing?"

"The supply provided by Chaos Devouring Fire to him is extraordinarily terrifying, doesn't he suffer any loss or depletion?"

"It's been a thousand years, and he has slaughtered millions of Silver Dragons; this guy must be a lunatic!"

"A lunatic! Definitely a lunatic!"

"What lunatic, just a fortunate little guy!"

The Saint Venerable Ancestor Realm people spoke with a tone of sourness.

As the saying goes, comparing goods makes one discard, comparing people makes one die.

A thousand years, Wang Xu leveraged You Ji's devouring to reach the Four Elements Saint Venerable Realm from the Three Elements Saint Venerable Realm.

Of course, Wang Xu couldn't foolishly enhance his realm.

He must squeeze out every bit of his potential, like his physical body, spending nearly three hundred years converting all absorbed Sacred Qi to refine his body.

Thus, his physical body grew immensely, reaching an unimaginable level, enough to rival the pinnacle Five Elements Saint Venerable Realm.

Upon reaching this realm, further advancement in the physical body became extremely difficult, so Wang Xu began focusing on expanding his inner cosmos.

The inner cosmos continuously expanded under the refinement of Sacred Qi, reaching a diameter of ten thousand light years within the Four Elements Saint Venerable Realm in just a few hundred years.

"Haha... You Ji, I now feel like killing those Silver Dragons has become simpler!"

As Wang Xu laughed, with a wave of his hand, several howling Silver Dragons were all thrown away.

Just this casual blow was comparable to his "Sealing Palm" during the Three Elements Saint Venerable Realm.

"Simpler? Why don't we challenge the Golden Dragons? I think the taste of Golden Dragons must be even more delicious," You Ji licked his lips, full of anticipation.

"No." Wang Xu waved his hand, "Although my power has significantly improved, there is still quite a distance to deal with Ancestor Realm Golden Dragons."

"Unless my physical body can reach the 'Extreme Dao Ancestor' realm, I won't consider stepping into the Golden Dragon Battle Circle."

Extreme Dao Ancestor is an initial realm in the Ancestor Realm.

The Ancestor Realm consists of three major realms: 'Extreme Dao', 'Heaven-Reaching', 'Ancestor'.

The name Heaven-Reaching Ancestor derives precisely from this.

Extreme Dao, like the many people in the below Ancestor Realm, are all in this realm.

Heaven-Reaching, like the Ancestor of Wine and Music who witnessed everything by entering this Profound Dragon Room early, is a Heaven-Reaching Ancestor.

And the "Ancestor" Realm, that can no longer be considered as the Ancestor Realm, it can be said to be half of the Great Emperor Realm, positioned between Ancestor and Great Emperor.

Therefore, for this type of Ancestor individual, there is usually a title -

Eternal Ancestor.

Do not underestimate the Extreme Dao Ancestor, though it's merely the initial stage of the Ancestor Realm, its power is so formidable that it can destroy a Divine Sect in the blink of an eye, without any difficulty!

In the dragon circle of the Golden Dragon, all Golden Dragons are considered at the "Extreme Dao" level.

If Wang Xu guessed correctly, the Black Dragons at the rear are at the "Heaven-Reaching" level, while the Seven-Colored Dragon at the very back is the Eternal Ancestor.

"It seems this Profound Dragon Room only holds a thread of vitality for those barely in the Saint Venerable Realm," Wang Xu shook his head and said.

The passing condition for the Ancestor Realm is to subjugate the final Seven-Colored Dragon.

Subjugating the Eternal Ancestor is an endeavor only the Great Emperor Realm can accomplish, and no Great Emperor would be so idle as to compete with youngsters for a Great Emperor's Treasure.

...

In the blink of an eye, another ten thousand years passed.

The Ancestor of Wine and Music slowly woke up, looking at the distant warring dragon circle, and weakly remarked, "When I wake every few thousand years, this boy Tai Xu is still in trial challenge, how come I, an old man, wake up and he's still in trial?"

"Could it be this boy has gotten addicted to the trials?" The Ancestor of Wine and Music took out a wine jug, tipped his head back, and gulped down a mouthful, "Great wine!"

While the Ancestor of Wine and Music drank, other Saint Venerable Ancestors were either cultivating or chatting, and none paid any attention to Wang Xu anymore.

For ten thousand years, he kept repeating one thing - dragon subjugation.

They were utterly tired of watching.

Yet, while the Saint Venerable Ancestors were weary, Wang Xu was delighted, thoroughly enjoying it.

"Insight... more insights from 'Zheng,' wonderful, exactly the part I've been missing. With this, my 'Zheng' can formally advance to the Fifth Level!" Wang Xu said excitedly.

Having spent a full ten thousand years, slaughtering countless White Dragons.

If not for You Ji's companionship and the appearance of significant insights from 'Zheng' every time his soul power accumulated to a certain extent, Wang Xu would have given up long ago.

Fortunately, these ten thousand years weren't in vain.

"Wan Dao Light!"

The Fifth Level of 'Zheng', Wan Dao Light.

Wang Xu combined his two fingers, where a dark light flickered at the tips, then suddenly it burst forth in the void, descending like a torrential rain.

As many as ten thousand streaks of dark light followed a unique trajectory, passing through layers of obstacles, all striking upon a Silver Dragon that had just entered the battlefield.

"Master."

Instantly, the Silver Dragon, unable even to let out a roar, became unbelievably docile, even attacking its own kind.

"The Fifth Level of 'Zheng' is truly powerful!"

Wang Xu sighed.

The Wan Dao Light, unlike the previous Fourth Layer of the Soul Realm, possesses stronger subjugation capability; a Silver Dragon at peak state, Primordial Saint Venerable Realm, was effortlessly enslaved by Wang Xu.

If it had been the Fourth Layer's Soul Realm, that Silver Dragon would surely struggle for a while before succumbing.

"You Ji, my 'Zheng' has reached the Fifth Level, it's your turn now." Wang Xu said.

"Alright! I indeed overestimated my soul power; this ten thousand years of devouring transformation allowed me to barely reach the Second Layer of 'Zheng'. But now it's fine, I'll replenish the lost soul power entirely, Wang Xu, kill!"

Thus, Wang Xu no longer collected soul power, only sacred qi and Power of Laws were replenishing his consumption.

Meanwhile, You Ji gradually utilized the absorbed soul power to elevate the realm of 'Zheng'.

Another ten thousand years.

Wang Xu's power increased continuously, eventually, one strike was enough, no need for a second strike, as ten Silver Dragons fell dead on the spot.

"Kill! Kill as many as come!" Years of slaughter slightly unsettled Wang Xu's heart state.

"Wang Xu!"

Fortunately, each time at such moments, You Ji's voice calling out in the depths of Wang Xu's heart state, settling his mind again.

"Your heart state is still insufficient; if a Saint Venerable Realm expert specialized in illusion techniques were to strike, you would be defenseless," You Ji said.

Wang Xu felt ashamed.

Since his family's revival and reclaiming the Ancient Luo Cosmos, regarding the heart state, Wang Xu had stayed stagnant.

The heart state is not considered a form of power, barely qualifying as a kind of aptitude.

A person with a strong heart state can persist through many hardships and painful setbacks.

A person with a weak heart state cannot handle the various adventures; when struck, he might die directly of fright before the enemy even acts.

Fortunately, the heart state strengthens as one's power increases.

Having power, looking down on everything, with no fear in one's heart state, how powerful must that be?

"Alright, my 'Zheng' has also reached the Fifth Level; I didn't expect the Great Emperor of the Profound Dragon to leave such a small gift that made me get a great bargain," You Ji chuckled, "Let's go, first relinquish, return and cultivate quietly."

Wang Xu nodded.

Immediately, Wang Xu retreated.

"Lan Ji, I relinquished." (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets, your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
