Not only Qi-Blood, orifices, body, and even Divine Skills have reached the limit.

Blood Rebirth has never had a chance to be tested; it's really not easy to try.

But the Kui Step, the accumulated mileage, has also reached its limit, 129,600 miles.

Theoretically, Yu Ziqing could take one step across the entire Dali east to west, then his body would collapse and die, incidentally testing Blood Rebirth.

When Body Refinement reaches the limit, when it's naturally time to break through, Yu Ziqing uses the link between Refining God and Body Refinement to bind the two together.

He wants to break through both; this can strengthen the connection between the two.

It's also the best opportunity.

Otherwise, he would have advanced separately long ago.

Now it's just waiting; it's best if both advance naturally.

He's not in a hurry at all; he's still very young.

Over the years, he has barely managed things, and New Five has already gained experience, just follow along.

But the other big performer is performing like a madman.

Finding breakthroughs from various angles, identifying issues, then performing once.

It's known that in those deans' research, it's just continuous trial and error, trying to find problems, that's really easy.

The problem is, each time, without exception, just when the problem is solved, they use the already solved issue to create a scene.

Yu Ziqing watched in amazement, from the most important materials to Dharma Methods, and then to outside tactics, various things came on stage one after another.

It doesn't aim to completely destroy, only to delay time.

If Yu Ziqing hadn't personally gone to Big Island Cave Heaven to take a look, he would also think the progress was seriously slowed down.

...

In the Void, the long robe man sits on the back of a giant Kun You with his eyes closed, speaking in a deep voice.

"I have already done what I needed to do, including making sure the dean responsible for the most important core materials has left the Southern Sea.

Without this person, even if they succeed, it will delay for hundreds of years.

And their final result will only be like a Dao Artifact, with extremely high costs and very rare quantities."

Indeed, the dean responsible for core materials has left Big Island Cave Heaven.

It's just because several materials are needed, this person doesn't trust others, personally going to utilize the environment of the sources for testing.

Definitely won't return within a few years, yes, in quite a few years.

In the Void, mysterious Dao sounds emerge, followed by a haze, seemingly lacking rhythm, as if becoming material, becoming a path revealing.

The long robe man closes his eyes, quietly comprehending, but when reaching the most core, critical place, those Dao sounds abruptly stop.

The long robe man's aura has some changes, becoming somewhat restless, his breath a bit unstable.

It's like just that last little bit is missing, ready to sprint forward, everything suddenly comes, making him extremely uncomfortable.

"Do you want to back out?"

The voice in the Void flutters and resonates in his ear.

"No, I want to make a bigger deal with you.

You help me do one thing, and if it's successful, I will reveal all my Dao to you."

"No, with such a high cost, I cannot possibly do the thing you want. I only want to complete our previous deal.

If you regret it, then this ends here, you better not regret."

The long robe man refuses the so-called big deal without any hesitation.

He even prepares to turn and leave immediately.

The Divine King feels a bit stuck, human strongmen are like this, extremely audacious and greedy, yet sometimes, extremely restrained and decisive.

He particularly cares about the Southern Sea research, now disrupted by the White Water Egg organization, plus this person's secret actions.

Both sides provide intelligence suggesting that scary research isn't going too smoothly.

At least it's not as terrifying as he initially thought.

Even if success is possible, it will take hundreds, thousands of years.

Moreover, the achievement is destined to be a toy for a few major forces.

If it's only this, he's already satisfied.

So now, it's about another matter, making the Daqian Crown Prince ascend the throne quickly.

The White Water Egg organization provides information that, although the Crown Prince's position is stable now, he has been stable for over two thousand years, yet he's still the Crown Prince.

The Divine King can't wait; doesn't want to wait any longer.

Dadui's matter is already without suspense, some things must be done before Dadui returns.

It obviously can't be done just relying on the already half-crippled White Water Egg organization.

In these years, this person has achieved certain things, the White Water Egg organization gives him reports he can understand; this long robe man not only has strong ability and strength but also influence.

If such a person is willing to assist the Daqian Crown Prince's ascension, it certainly has a chance.

The Divine King has a thought, continues to present Dao, and reveals half of the Dao in one breath.

The long robe man immediately stops his steps.

In one breath, several years pass, Dao presentation ends, and the long robe man feels unsatisfied, hesitates a bit, and speaks.

"What do you want to do?"

"Help the Daqian Crown Prince ascend the throne within a century."

The long robe man hears this and turns to leave, Kun You carries him, quickly merging into the Void, disappearing without a trace.

The Divine King isn't surprised; he just waits quietly.

Before, he believed this person wouldn't come again, but now, he doesn't believe it. After comprehending half of the presented Dao, he wouldn't abandon the other half.

Greed will eventually drive him back here.

Indeed, years later, the long robe man returns to the Void with a not-so-good expression.

Like with an itching heart, no longer able to bear it.

"I've contemplated for years, pained to think, come up with a plan, with a slight chance of success.

But after I say it, you must first present the Dao to me."

"Tell me."

"Emperor Qian, this person, has great ambition, now preparing for the Tenth Tier.

If he's told that the Divine Dynasty's strength will facilitate the advancement but weaken slightly afterwards,

with his disposition, he will definitely prepare to become the strongest of the time.

He not only wants to advance to the Tenth Tier first but wants to be the strongest among peers.

This method is surely feasible, now just let him confirm, these are true."

The Divine King nods, unlike human cultivators, who rise step by step from scratch, but he has seen many strongmen.

Perhaps seen the most human strongmen.

"What you say is indeed true, from my perspective, the strongmen of the past were indeed like this."

The long robe man closes his eyes, heart calms down.

From scratch, indeed it's better to rely on predecessors' experience.

Now, with this confirmation, there's no problem.

"Good, I promise you, no matter the cost, even if my god-form is destroyed, I will personally assassinate Emperor Qian, ensuring the Daqian Crown Prince ascends within a century, but the Dao must be presented first—all of it."

The Divine King thinks after, indeed feeling this method feasible.

Based on his years of understanding, these words are indeed right. If Emperor Qian knows, he'll definitely do so.

He's ultimately a cultivator first, then Emperor Qian.

Power is external, the Divine Dynasty is just external.

Moreover, it's just presenting the Dao.

The complete Dao, containing rhythm, unfolds before the long robe man.

He eagerly absorbs nourishment, countless insights emerge in his heart.

He's indeed not lying; the Crown Prince will certainly ascend within a century, no one can stop it.

And he, finally obtained what he desires most.
