Originally covered in cobwebs, the meditation room was swept clean by the stars, giving off an ancient feeling.

As for Xing'er and Li Dao, they did not hide anything from her. All four secret manuals of the Divine Arts were in her hands.

Other than the Golden Buddha Indestructible Body, Li Dao did not have any intention of cultivating the other three techniques. The King Kong Sword Technique was only drawing lessons from it.

Before going into closed-door training, Li Dao suggested that Xing'er cultivate the Sublime Yin Lotus Scripture and impart to Xing'er the Jade Lady Sword Art.

The Brilliant King Sword was not suitable for Xing'er, and the Southern Flower Sword Art of the Nine Yin Scriptures was not suitable for Xing'er to learn. After thinking it over for a while, Li Dao could only pass on the Jade Maiden Jiu Xin's sword technique to her.

Regardless of whether it was the Mystical Clear Sound Lotus Scripture or the Jade Maiden Pure Heart Sword Technique, they both had the effect of clearing the heart and condensing the Qi. They could help Xing'er better control the Devil Sword to eliminate evil.

After instructing Xing'er, Li Dao closed the door to the meditation room.

After taking a bath and changing his clothes, he adjusted his mental state to its optimum, then he took out the Blood Yuan Evil Pill that was the size of a dragon eye.

The fragrance of the medicine began to spread. Li Dao did not hesitate as he picked up the medicine pill and stuffed it into his mouth, swallowing it with a wriggling throat.

Li Dao wouldn't hold back when he thought about how this pill was made from human blood. Let alone the fact that it was made from human blood, it was quite common for people to eat it in the upper echelons of the world.

As the pill fell into his stomach, the immense medicinal energy began to dissolve, like a flash flood, unstoppable.

Li Dao's expression was solemn as he circulated his primeval essence, circulating the medicinal energy within his body in circles. Then, he converted the blood-colored medicinal energy into azure lotus primeval essence.

Time flew by. One day, two days, Li Dao's aura was increasing bit by bit.

Peak of the middle Xiantian realm, late Xiantian realm, peak Xiantian realm. In one breath's time, he had broken through to the peak Xiantian realm. It was not in vain that Zen Master Ku Xin slaughtered the entire Northwest Martial Arts Forest. The Blood Yuan Evil Pill was not covered up, even if it was only a half finished product.

Li Dao's eyes shined with a bright light. His dantian had already been filled with cyan true essence.

The pill that was originally the size of a longan fruit was now the size of a soybean, floating above his dantian.

If he didn't break through to Zongshi realm now, when would he be able to do so?

A pill the size of a yellow bean was like a sun above the Dantian, while the Dantian was like a huge ocean. Li Dao had dissolved all of the Blood Yuan Evil Pill's medicinal efficacy, and his Dantian began to boil up.

The difference between the great realm and the great realm was like a natural chasm. Once one crossed it, it would be like stepping into a new world.

In order to rise to the Upper Sky Realm, one had to have all hundred meridians of their own, pass through the bridge of heaven and earth, and receive the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth and compress it into zhen yuan.

Advancing to the Grandmaster Realm was much more difficult than advancing to the Upper Sky Realm, as martial artists were required to solidify their liquid true essence and then solidify it.

His own spiritual will fused into this, forming a golden core of martial arts. Jindan Stage could be called a grandmaster of martial arts.

As the saying goes, once a golden core is swallowed into the stomach, my life is not up to the heavens! The lifespan of a grandmaster in the art of martial arts who had successfully cultivated the Aurous Core stage would increase dramatically. In theory, he could live up to five hundred years.

Of course, this was the ideal situation. Martial arts masters usually didn't live past 500 years old, and most of them lived up to 400 years. This was because the early stages of a martial artist's cultivation had consumed a great deal of their physical and mental energy. Only Aurous Core stage experts of the Immortal Path would have a lifespan of 500 years. Compared to martial arts, the Immortal Dao undoubtedly placed more importance on health.

Comparing martial arts with the realm of the Immortal Path, the Houtian realm was equivalent to the Immortal Dao Qi, Xiantian realm was equivalent to the Foundation Establishment stage, grandmaster and grandmaster were equivalent to the Aurous Core stage, and shattering the void was equivalent to the primordial spirit.

After shattering the void, the division of martial dao and celestial dao wasn't as strict.

At that time, whether it was in the Martial Dao or the Immortal Dao, attention was paid to understanding of the Dao and its application to the laws of the world.

His dantian was like the sea, being boiled by the sun formed by the Blood Yuan Evil Pill.

Li Dao began to control the boiling true essence in his body and fuse it with his will.

As Li Dao controlled the solidification of his true essence and branded his will onto the pill, he found it extremely strenuous. Even though he had practiced the Art of Soul Shifting, his mental will was still stronger than an ordinary person's.

The room was shrouded in darkness and it was hard to tell the time. Li Dao's face was pale, the veins on his forehead were twitching, and beads of sweat were dripping down his face.

"Gold Dan of the Martial Dao, form it for me!"

After an unknown amount of time had passed, Li Dao let out an explosive shout. His entire face began to contort. It was like a tug on a rope by a tug of the hand of a tug of war.

A clear and melodious sound echoed out. The Jindan, which was about to condense within Li Dao's Dantian, suddenly broke apart, transforming back into true essence and fell into the sky ditch in his Dantian. The remaining medicinal power of the Blood Yuan Evil Pill dispersed into his bones and flesh, hiding there.

"Did I fail?" Li Dao sat cross-legged on the bed as he mumbled to himself.

However, his current state was very strange. The true essence within his dantian should have been liquid. What could he say now? Liquid is not like liquid, solid is not like solid.

If true essence was considered water in its normal form, then his true essence was mercury. Mercury was tens of times denser than water, but it was not solid.

The blue colored true essence that was as heavy as mercury faintly reflected the phantom of a lotus. Li Dao was definitely many times stronger than a peak Xiantian realm expert. However, he was still far weaker than a grandmaster who had condensed an Aurous Core Stage cultivator.

Gu Mutian might be similar to his current self, perhaps he might be even weaker than him.

Perhaps, he could be considered a Half-Zongshi in this state.
