With a slight clench of his fist, Chen Yuan looked at Monk Jingxin with a grin, resembling a sinister smile from the abyss. In the next moment, Chen Yuan made his move, exploding forth like a cannonball.
In almost an instant, he was in front of Monk Jingxin. He didnât rely on Gang Qi, but purely on the strength of his physical body, exerting his full power,
Chen Yuan thrust his fist forward.
Monk Jingxin was caught off guard, and hurriedly activated his Body Refining Techniques to block with his hands in front of him, but this time it was not the same as before when he could hold back.
This time, he didnât hold back.
âBoom!â
Like a meteorite falling to earth, the sound of Monk Jingxinâs arms fracturing could be heard, followed by a parabolic arc traced through the void, as he crashed heavily to the ground.
Both arms broken, twisted grotesquely, even his internal organs suffered an immense impact; now, relying solely on his physical strength, he was no match for Chen Yuan.
Of course, there were many factors why this was possibleâone very important reason was that Monk Jingxin had already been seriously injured before, with his blood Qi having recededâ
But this still showed just how strong Chen Yuanâs physical strength had become.
Now he felt as if he possessed the strength of nine bulls and two tigers, with surging blood Qi throughout his body!
âBlood Qi Like Dragon⊠Blood Qi Like DragonâŠâ Monk Jingxin laughed manically, as if tears of laughter were coming out, then glared at Chen Yuan with hate, charging forward in a last suicidal attack, like a martyr.
By this point, Monk Jingxin clearly understood he had no chance of surviving. Chen Yuan wouldnât spare his life, so why not charge with his Precepts knife one last time!

The weather inside the Primordial Void Realm remained the same, without a setting sun drenched in blood, nor any anomalies. Chen Yuan stood still, the ground around him pitted with half-person-sized holes.
They were the testament to the clash between Chen Yuan and Monk Jingxin.
Just now, in a suicidal move, Monk Jingxin launched the strongest offensive he had ever mustered, burning all his blood Qi to fight with Chen Yuan for ten breathsâ time.
His bodyâs muscles and bones all shattered. Now, he was kneeling quietly in front of Chen Yuan, his bright bald head stained red with blood, eyes staring straight ahead.
It was over.
This time, all the disputes within the Primordial Void Realm had come to an end.
With Gu Hao and Monk Jingxin dead, Chen Yuan eliminated a hidden worry, but at the same time, he understood that he was now completely at odds with Bright Temple and Qingyun Sword Sect.
These two were respectively ranked forty and thirty-six on the Hidden Dragon List; they were among the most talented in their respective forces.
They had the potential for the Core Realm.
With such talented disciples killed, neither Qingyun Sword Sect nor Bright Temple could let things go easily. But so what? Was Chen Yuan supposed to refrain from acting against them because of concerns?
No, he was not a person who hesitated or wavered.
Moreover, he had more than just a few aces up his sleeveâŠ
Looking at Monk Jingxin kneeling on the ground, Chen Yuan took a deep breath. Fighting with Gu Hao was still manageable, almost a total domination, but Monk Jingxin was truly extraordinary.
With just the strength of his physical body, he had initially struggled to gain the upper hand.
These monks from the Buddhist sects indeed had their techniques in physical prowess.
âMister ChenâŠâ
Huang Yi slowly approached Chen Yuan, his gaze intensifying as he looked at Monk Jingxin. His opinion of Chen Yuan soared to a new level, and even his tone lowered considerably without noticing.
In this world, strength was what mattered most. Although Chen Yuan was lower in official rank, with this strength and talent, even a fool could foresee his future achievements.
âWeâll split the belongings from these two evenly,â Chen Yuan glanced at him.
Although Huang Yi only held Monk Jingxin off for less than a quarter of an hour, it bought him the most critical time. Without him, facing both Gu Hao and Monk Jingxin together,
Even if Chen Yuan could win, he would have had to pay a heavy price.
Therefore, Huang Yiâs contributions were significant.
But when Huang Yi heard this, he repeatedly refused, âIt was all thanks to Mister Chenâs efforts that Gu Hao and this bald monk were killed. Everything should rightly belong to Mister Chen, I wouldnât dare to accept it.â
Now was not the time when Chen Yuan had asked him to make a move; he had to be clear about his own position.
However, Chen Yuan wasnât heartless. Seeing Huang Yi resolutely refusing, he still insisted that Huang Yi take a thirty percent share. He was clear about debts of gratitude, and he was not stingy either.
Gu Hao and Monk Jingxinâs belongings were substantial: just the Primordial Crystals amounted to a total of eight, and the Spirit Grass in their hands, when appraised, could be worth around six or seven Primordial Crystals.
It was truly a windfall for Chen Yuan.
This trip to the Primordial Void Realm was worthwhile indeed!
Suddenly, Chen Yuanâs foundation had grown much stronger.
Indeed, killing people was the fastest way to wealth.
After the distribution, Chen Yuan cut off the heads of Gu Hao and Monk Jingxin. Whether he admitted it or not, the others would assume he was the perpetrator,
So why bother to disguise it?
Moreover, this time it was Gu Hao and Monk Jingxin who first laid hands on the Court envoy; regardless of the place, theirs was a death well deserved.
Martial Artist Chen Yuan this time wanted to awe some of the nighttime troublemakers in Qingzhou, of course, this was only the first step, the second step required Jiang Heâs help.
After dealing with these matters, Chen Yuan prepared to return to the palace and wait for the closure of the Primordial Void Realm.
Just as he found a place to sit cross-legged, a hunched old man with a walking staff topped with a snakeâs head slowly approached Chen Yuan, with Huang Yi beside them showing a vigilant expression.
Chen Yuan, however, nodded indifferently, as a way of greeting.
âCongratulations to Patrol Envoy Chen for stepping into the Blood Qi Like Dragon Realm,â the hunched elder suddenly said warmly, a stark contrast to his previous cold demeanor.
âBlood Qi Like Dragon Realm?â
Chen Yuan squinted at the hunched elder, his face showing a hint of surprise and doubt.
Ever since he began cultivating the Vajra Glaze Body and his blood qi surged, Chen Yuan had vaguely sensed that there might also be realm divisions above the physical body.
However, after investigating, he found nothing with his current status.
After all, Nanling Prefecture was just a peaceful outpost, and since he spent most of his time in arduous cultivation, he was not very clear about many secrets, just like the divisions within the Martial Arts Realm.
It was only in Nanling Prefecture that he learned the precise name of the realm âHeavenly Core Condensing,â and when he was in Pingâan County, reaching the Gang Condensation Realm was already considered to be a formidable strength, so he naturally couldnât find out more.
After seeing Chen Yuanâs display of strength, the hunched elder had also decided to form a good relationship and didnât want to keep him at armâs length like before. Now was the right time.
After all, once Chen Yuan arrived in Qingzhou City, he would naturally learn many new things.
He tapped his snake-headed walking staff lightly and said:
âAs is widely known, thousands of years ago the Martial Emperor organized the worldâs Martial Arts Realms and created the most suitable path for cultivation. This path combined elements from the paths of the Tao, Buddhism, Demons, and various schools and has been universally recognized. Today, it has become the definitive standard.â
âBut this is a path step by step towards the Primordial Spirit, considered to be Qi Refinement. There is another different path, called Body Refinement.â
âBody Refinement, Qi RefinementâŠâ
Chen Yuanâs eyes flickered, but he didnât interrupt the old man.
Huang Yi also listened very solemnly, clearly also lacking understanding.
âThis path is extremely difficult, many times harder than Qi Refinement, but if one can succeed, their combat power would be unparalleled. For example, within the Court Army, there are many martial artists who focus on cultivating their physical bodies.â
âMany Martial Monks in the Buddhist sect take this path as well, for they are unparalleled in combat, and coupled with a layer of Qi Refinement cultivation, they are deemed invincible among peers of the same realm.â
âJust like Qi Refinement, actually, our human raceâs Martial Emperor also divided the realms of the physical body, but it was not passed down, known only to a few Body Refinement martial artists.â
âCompared to the six realms of Qi Refinement, the Body Refinement only has five realms and does not have as complicated a division.â
âPlease enlighten me, Senior,â Chen Yuan clasped his hands together, changing his form of address.
âMere Mortal Body, Blood Qi Like Dragon, Vajra Unbreakable, Divine Power Self-generationâŠâ the elder started listing.
âAnd the last one?â
Chen Yuan was frustrated with this manner of speaking half-truths, just like how Su Ziyue had done before. But he couldnât pressure for more information, only slowly learning bit by bit,
and it seemed this was no different.
The hunched elder grew solemn and slowly shook his head, âI do not know the last realm, itâs just what Iâve heard, perhaps only those in the Divine Power Realm and the Yang Transformation Realm would know.â
âDivine Power⊠Yang TransformationâŠâ
Hearing this, Chen Yuan realized these two realms should be on the same level, and Vajra Unbreakable was probably on the same level as Heavenly Core Condensing as well.
By that logic, Blood Qi Like Dragon should be equivalent to a martial artist in the True Essence Profound Realm.
The Mere Mortal Bodyâs opposite realm should be the Martial Arts Foundation Establishment and the Qi Absorption Gang Condensation realms.
He hadnât expected there to be such reasoning.
Qi Refinement, Body Refinement⊠how interesting.
Itâs just a pity that Qi Refinement has a clear path, but Body Refinement seems rarer in Jianghu, and thus the realm divisions were not passed down. Also, in the Sky-reaching Six Realms, there seem to be many aspects related to Body Refinement.
At least, Martial Arts Foundation Establishment is about the body, Condensing Evil seems to be about the body, True Essence Profound Realm also refines the body⊠Thinking like this, thereâs a deep connection between the two.
He wondered if there were any other secrets.
âThank you, Senior,â Chen Yuan said. Regardless of whether this information was a secret, at least it was something he had never heard of before, and now the hunched elder had explained it to him, so he ought to thank him.
âI am called Minghe,â the elder volunteered his name, clearly recognizing Chen Yuanâs potential.
In Jianghu, there were many who focused on Body Refinement, but very few above the physical realm could be compared with Chen Yuan. The world still primarily cultivated Qi, but this also showed how rare Body Refinement martial artists were.
A martial artist with unparalleled combat strength like Chen Yuan might someday be of help to him, so forming a good karma wasnât an issue.
âSenior Minghe,â
Chen Yuan smiled. Although he and Minghe were both in the Reach Profound Realm, there was a large gap between them. This Minghe was probably only one step away from Heavenly Core.
As they were speaking, sudden changes began to occur between heaven and earth.

To clarify, itâs quite normal for the physical body to have realm divisions; it would be odd without them. There were hints before, and these wonât take up too much space.
The focus is still on the Sky-reaching Six Realms, serving as an explanation for the protagonistâs strong bodyâŠ
