Chapter 765: Chapter 174: Curse of the Five Provinces, Enemy of the Dao (Part 2)

“Greetings, Your Highness the Crown Prince.”

Wenren Zheng first respectfully saluted the Crown Prince alone, and then saluted the Eldest Prince and Third Prince.

“Please sit, Great Marshal.”

The Crown Prince proactively invited Wenren Zheng to sit beside him.

Once Wenren Zheng arrived, Ye Ze’an signaled to Li Fei that he could begin.

All eyes in the venue were fixed on Li Fei, and many people started feeling tense.

Interrupted nationwide broadcast and now having the Military Affairs Grand Marshal appear ahead of time to personally oversee.

If the breakthrough fails under such circumstances, what consequences might arise?

It’s probably not as simple as demotion or loss of title!

Qin Zishu clenched her hands tightly together, staring intently at Li Fei on the stage.

From start to finish, Li Fei appeared very calm, and after Ye Ze’an said he could begin, he slowly closed his eyes.

The next second, a formidable sword intent erupted from his body, piercing the sky and shaking the earth, soaring straight to the heavens!

This sword intent reminded many present of the commotion a few days ago.

Compared to a few days ago, Li Fei’s sword intent was even stronger!

Such sword intent, even among the martial arts masters present, not everyone could compare.

This meant that Li Fei’s mind power had already surpassed some martial arts masters!

Golden light emerged from his body surface, followed by torrents of qi-blood surging out!

Among the powerful individuals present, Li Fei’s sword intent was not so astonishing to them, but at this moment, this majestic burst of qi-blood moved everyone.

“Is he a person or an exotic beast?”

“With such qi-blood, even a Martial Saint would be similar, right?”

“Is this his confidence?”

“…”

The thoughts of the gathered powerhouses were diverse.

Sitting beside the Crown Prince, Wenren Zheng’s gaze slightly shifted, lost in thought.

The next second, a powerful lifebound aura surged from Li Fei’s body.

This aura had startled half of Lanling City a few days ago!

After Li Fei displayed his qi-blood as powerful as that of exotic beasts, people no longer found his lifebound aura surprising.

Strands of sword qi appeared out of nowhere, encircling Li Fei.

Shen Zhen, the Supreme Elder of Nightmare Sect, had a change in complexion.

She immediately saw that these sword qi were not the force of martial artists but the true power of magicians.

However, to see such concentrated, sharp true power, even she had never encountered before.

Whether it was lifebound aura or true power, Li Fei had exceeded her understanding.

The display of sword intent and qi-blood showed his martial arts cultivation, while lifebound aura and true power reflected his magic dao cultivation.

After Li Fei activated these powers, his true realm was clearly revealed before everyone:

Both in martial arts and magic dao, he had already half-stepped across that threshold!

To break through from Tao Foundation Stage to the Master Realm in martial arts requires constructing the Tao Foundation.

Incorporating five kinds of implants doesn’t yet constitute a true martial arts foundation; they must be fused together.

In this regard, a Tao Foundation with a five elements attribute has an advantage; because of the five elements mutual generation, the five kinds of implants can seamlessly be fused through the five elements cycle.

During the fusion process, the martial artist’s ‘essence, qi, and spirit’ must be sufficiently strong.

If qi-blood is strong enough, the physique can withstand the force unleashed during implant fusion.

If force is strong enough, it can support the fusion of the five kinds of implants.

If heart and spirit are strong enough, they can perform ‘micro operation’ during the fusion of implants.

Besides, the three must also complete their fusion.

This is why Tao Foundation Stage peak powerhouses have greater chances of breakthrough.

Their ‘essence, qi, and spirit’ are sufficiently powerful and they have grasped Tao Power, having already experienced the process of the three becoming one.

Li Fei’s mind power and qi-blood are not to be further discussed; even the weakest force, after achieving magic and martial unity and developing sword state, has become strong through the fusion of true power.

Thus, he fully meets the requirements for constructing a Tao Foundation!

If he chose, at the moment the Heavenly Water Soul Bone achieved balance, he could directly break through.

However, he has already embarked on the path of magic and martial unity, and if the realms of martial arts and magic dao become imbalanced, he will suffer backlash.

Therefore, it’s not that Li Fei must choose to break through both realms simultaneously, but rather the path he has chosen must be walked in this manner.

The requirements for martial arts breakthrough have been met; what Li Fei currently lacks is magic dao cultivation.

For magic dao breakthrough, ‘constructing the life bridge and condensing true power’, these two steps have been completed, one final step remains: ‘refining the true soul’.

Once true power is formed, it can be resonated with lifebound items, continuously refining one’s spirit and converting it to true soul.

This process is similar to ‘condensing true power’, where determinative factors are the intensity of spiritual power and the connection with lifebound item.

Li Fei’s heart and spirit have reached the ‘God Communication Realm’, able to use sword state to reverse influence magic dao’s spiritual power, and his lifebound item is himself — this connection is unmatched!

Thus, his speed of refining true soul is similarly astonishing.

Within a few days, he completed this process!

Now, he needs to separate a portion of true soul and merge it into lifebound item, thus forming a true spirit:

In the consciousness world, a miniature version of ‘Li Fei’ is taking shape.

This is the separated true soul of Li Fei, being refined into true spirit.

The so-called true spirit is equivalent to a magician’s ‘second consciousness’, assisting in controlling lifebound magic artifacts and making them stronger.

Li Fei’s lifebound magic artifact is himself, so his true spirit is currently forming within him.

This makes him recall those cultivation novels he read before; now this step feels like forming a ‘Nascent Soul’ within his body.
