Chapter 91: Chapter 83: Heaven and Earth Dragon Gate, Pseudo-Immortal Cultivation

’This strength... perhaps it already rivals Lord Shen’s...’

The thought flashed through Zhuang Bufan’s mind.

This level of Martial Arts prowess was definitely beyond the scope of Neutralizing Force.

If he broke through to the True Qi Realm, the world would probably be turned upside down.

’I wonder when I’ll ever be able to catch up...’

Looking at Fang Xing in the center of the training ground, Zhuang Bufan sighed internally.

Before, he still had some hope of keeping pace.

Fang Xing was strong, but not to the point of making one despair.

But now...

With such a gap in strength, he had completely given up on the idea.

To cultivate a Top Level Martial Art to such a degree of mastery.

This was talent!

At least in the Neutralizing Force realm, he was one of a kind.

He knew very well how difficult it was to cultivate Top Level Martial Arts.

Only those in the True Qi Realm could cultivate them to a deeper level.

But for Fang Xing, it seemed to be different.

Despite being at the Peak of Neutralizing Force in his Cultivation, he could unleash such astonishing Martial Arts prowess.

...

"Huuu..."

After running through the routine once, Fang Xing stopped.

Breaking through to the third layer of the Dragon’s Roar Iron Cloth Shirt was a great leap forward in strength.

His accumulation had reached its limit. Perhaps it was time to challenge the gate.

Challenging the Dragon Gate was a major hurdle on the Martial Dao!

The great hurdle of transcending from mortal to sacred!

It was also a stepping stone to becoming a Martial Dao God.

A True Qi Realm expert could stand on their own anywhere.

Only those in the True Qi Realm could establish Martial Dao Sects.

This was a rule that no one could break!

Without a Cultivation that had reached the True Realm, one didn’t even have the qualification to establish a Martial Dao Sect.

Seeing Fang Xing stop, Zhuang Bufan walked up and offered him a waterskin. "My Lord, have some water."

Taking the waterskin, Fang Xing took a sip and handed it back.

"Thanks."

Zhuang Bufan smiled. "It is my honor to have witnessed my Lord’s strength today."

"Cultivate slowly, and you can reach this level too," Fang Xing said with a smile, then strode away.

Watching Fang Xing’s departing figure, Zhuang Bufan sighed internally.

’To reach that level.’

’I’m afraid it’s only possible by breaking through to the True Qi Realm.’

But he had been stuck at this Extraordinary Dragon Gate for two years.

Three attempts, three failures.

The more he tried, the more his hope dwindled.

...

「Observatory, Commander’s Courtyard.」

Shen Ye’s heart jumped as he listened to Zhuang Bufan’s account.

"You used your full strength and couldn’t even budge him?" Looking at Zhuang Bufan, Shen Ye was astonished.

Without using True Qi, even he wouldn’t dare claim he could take a blow from Zhuang Bufan’s Horizontal Refining Martial Arts with his body and come out completely unscathed.

Zhuang Bufan nodded. "My Lord, it’s true. Lord Fang’s strength has surpassed mine by too much. I feel he could even test his mettle against a True Qi Realm Martial Artist."

Hearing this, a glint flashed in Shen Ye’s eyes.

Fang Xing’s progress shocked even him.

Such a growth rate was rarely seen in the entire province.

’Is Top-Grade Root Bone really this powerful...’ Shen Ye was starting to question his life.

He also had a Top-Grade Root Bone.

But Fang Xing’s improvement seemed vastly different from the typical performance of someone with a Top-Grade Root Bone.

’This guy... could he have a supreme Root Bone?’

The thought flashed through his mind.

A supreme Root Bone.

This was a talent that granted a much greater chance of transcending the True Realm compared to other Root Bones.

Across the entire Jiang Province Observatory, there wasn’t a single person with a supreme Root Bone.

Although Top-Grade Root Bone and supreme Root Bone were only one level apart...

...a supreme Root Bone was a complete game-changer.

Someone with a supreme Root Bone would be groomed as a successor, even in a Martial Dao Upper Sect.

’If it’s not a supreme Root Bone, then it’s Extraordinary Comprehension... This guy really is full of surprises...’

Shen Ye marveled inwardly.

He had practically witnessed Fang Xing’s growth from the beginning.

The first time they met, Fang Xing merely had a Bright Force Cultivation, and he hadn’t paid him any mind.

But the further along he got, the more monstrous this guy’s performance became.

Leaps and bounds in growth!

’If he steps into the True Qi Realm... tsk tsk, he’ll probably become a legend.’

A trace of excitement rose in Shen Ye’s heart.

A legend of the Jiang Province Observatory!

In a hundred years, only one had appeared: the current Commander who led the entire Jiang Province Observatory.

A Lower Grade Root Bone, but Extraordinary Comprehension!

An existence who, against all odds, had relied on a Lower Grade Root Bone to cultivate until he transcended the True Realm.

Based on Fang Xing’s performance, if he could step into the True Realm within a year, he too would become a legend.

Although this legend wasn’t him, it was one he had discovered.

He was very gratified; thankfully, he hadn’t missed his chance back then.

His current performance had not disappointed him.

With such strength, his future was full of promise!

"Lord Fang is probably not far from the True Qi Realm," Zhuang Bufan said, his eyes filled with envy.

Shen Ye looked at him and pondered for a moment. "How many times have you made an attempt?"

"I’ve already challenged the gate three times. I feel like my chances are getting smaller and smaller."

A trace of desolation appeared on Zhuang Bufan’s face.

Shen Ye looked at him, patted his shoulder, and said, "First, consolidate your Martial Arts foundation. Don’t be anxious. More accumulation will increase your chances."

Zhuang Bufan nodded.

Shen Ye continued, "Send word that no one is to disturb Fang Xing for the time being. If there are missions, you can team up and coordinate with him."

"Understood. Rest assured, my Lord." Zhuang Bufan quickly understood Shen Ye’s meaning.

This was giving Fang Xing special privileges.

However, with Fang Xing’s strength, he indeed deserved them.

’If I had this kind of strength, I could have special privileges too.’

After chatting for a while, Zhuang Bufan left.

Watching Zhuang Bufan’s figure, Shen Ye also rose and left the courtyard.

A short while later, he arrived at the gate of Fang Xing’s residence.

He knocked, and the courtyard gate opened.

"My Lord, is there a mission?" Fang Xing asked, looking at Shen Ye before him.

Shen Ye shook his head. "No mission for now. I just came to see how you’re doing."
