From the moment the Tiger Soul awakened, I became invincible.

Chapter 129 Entering the Initial Realm of True Qi, the Heavenly Martial Bell Rings

Qin Wu was in seclusion, feeling the surging true energy within his body.

He has already opened many of the twelve acupoints, but with the blessing of the Profound Yin Pearl, he can feel his breakthrough speed accelerating.

Upon realizing this, Qin Wu immediately understood the situation; it was all because the Profound Yin Pearl had unlocked his talent.

He had previously thought that although the Profound Yin Pearl had the effect of opening up talents, its effect on him would not be very significant, since he already possessed multiple True Martial Souls.

With the blessing of the True Martial Martial Soul, it was far more powerful than his current innate talent. But only at this moment did he realize that there was still a certain gap between the two.

After all, the True Martial Beast Martial Soul is an extra boost for him, but his own talent is a different concept. Breakthroughs in his own talent represent a qualitative improvement for him.

Upon realizing this, Qin Wu's expression became excited. Since the effects of the Profound Yin Pearl were stronger than he had imagined, perhaps he should search for similar treasures in the future.

If one possesses a treasure capable of enhancing their talent, it can significantly boost their innate abilities and strength. No one would complain about their cultivation speed being slow or their strength being weak.

Ten days had passed in the blink of an eye. Outside their secluded retreat, Zhou Yan and his sister Zhou Qiao'er arrived. Looking at the still-closed retreat hall, they exchanged a glance, and Zhou Qiao'er spoke:

"Brother, when do you think Senior Brother Qin Wu will finally emerge from seclusion? I remember he's been in seclusion for ten days already, right? That's such a long time, why isn't he finished yet?"

Zhou Yan looked at the closed door with a complicated expression, then spoke:

"This only shows that Senior Brother Qin's talent is stronger than we imagined."

Although I don't know the details, the fact that Senior Brother Qin was able to defeat a disciple who had just opened his true qi in such a short time shows a talent that is beyond our reach.

I wonder how much his strength will have improved after he emerges from seclusion this time.

They originally thought Qin Wu was just going into seclusion for a short time, since Qin Wu's previous breakthrough time was not very long, and it was unlikely that he would have a huge breakthrough.

However, ten days of seclusion is enough to prove that things are not as they imagined; otherwise, there would be no reason for such a long period of time to be spent in seclusion.

During this period, not only the brother and sister, but also many people from Tianwu Mountain, including Elder Cang Xuanwu, came to the secluded cultivation place to observe Qin Wu's breakthrough.

Even the lord of Tianwu Mountain attaches great importance to this.

Zhou Qiao'er's eyes held a hint of regret, and then she said:

"I've discovered quite a few good things on Tianwu Mountain during this time. I was originally planning to share them with Senior Brother Qin, but it seems that's not an option for now."

"Why is it that all you think about is this kind of thing?"

You should be very aware of our background. Continuing like this will inevitably lead to huge trouble for us. Even if we don't cause trouble for that guy, he'll find us sooner or later.

With Tianwu Mountain as our backer, we might be able to hold out for a while, but if he gets the chance, he will show us no mercy.

Upon hearing Zhou Yan's words, Zhou Qiao'er's expression turned ugly.

Of course she knew what her brother was talking about; they had sneaked out of the house to find their mother.

But this also meant that they had broken their father's long-term plan. Their father and mother's marriage was not a pleasant affair; there were considerable conflicts between them.

Their desire to find and rescue their mother stemmed not only from the act of saving her, but also from concerns for their own safety.

Because they had heard some bad rumors in the tribe that their father might be hostile to them.

That's why they resolutely left the family. Otherwise, even if their treatment in the Zhou family wasn't good, they would never have been forced to leave. But now they had no other choice.

And that's why they want to join a powerful sect.

Without a powerful sect to shield them from the pressure from the Zhou family, it would have been impossible for them to truly escape from the Zhou family.

After all, although the Zhou family is not a sect, its strength is extremely formidable, and there are not many forces in the entire Great Zhou that can suppress the Zhou family.

Therefore, after hearing Zhou Yan's words, Zhou Qiao'er also felt a little worried:

"As long as we stay on Tianwu Mountain, we shouldn't be in too much danger, right?"

Although the Zhou family is powerful, this is not the Zhou family's territory. With Tianwu Mountain here, even the Zhou family cannot act recklessly.

Zhou Qiao'er comforted herself in this way, but Zhou Yan's expression remained unchanged. He said to his sister with a serious face:

"Even though Tianwu Mountain can withstand the pressure from the Zhou family, do you plan to stay on Tianwu Mountain for the rest of your life and never leave?"

Although I don't know what my father is thinking, if our guess is true, once the Zhou family gets a chance, my father will definitely bring us back. There is no way he will let us be free outside.

So you should focus on your cultivation as soon as possible. Only by cultivating quickly can you improve your strength, truly gain freedom, and perhaps one day be able to find your mother.

Hearing this, Zhou Qiao'er finally nodded.

Then, their gazes turned to Qin Wu, wondering when he would emerge. Just then, they suddenly sensed a powerful aura erupting from the room before them.

The two exchanged a glance and immediately realized that Qin Wu was about to complete his breakthrough.

Just as the two had expected, Qin Wu, who was in seclusion, suddenly opened his eyes, and at the same time, the aura on his body became extremely strong, much stronger than before.

With the help of the Mysterious Yin Pearl, he had completely integrated all the medicinal power of the Tong Sheng Pill, and the previous battle further enabled him to complete the final integration.

He has now completely integrated the Dragon-Snake Martial Soul into his body.

The moment the Dragon-Snake Martial Soul entered his body, a tremendous force surged into his limbs and bones, and in the blink of an eye, all twelve acupoints were opened.

"True Qi Initial Realm, achieved."

Qin Wu looked at his hands with some surprise. He could feel the powerful force contained in his hands, which was more than twice as strong as before.

I have been practicing martial arts for over a year now.

In the past, he could never have imagined that he could reach the initial stage of True Qi in such a short time, becoming extraordinary.

In another world, this would be completely impossible. But now, he felt that he had only just begun to walk the path of martial arts.

The road ahead is long, and no matter how arduous the path of martial arts may be, he will eventually reach the peak. He has already determined that he cannot break through in the short term.

Now that all the potential has been transformed into strength, it's time to emerge from seclusion.

Qin Wu stood up and walked towards the door.

Upon opening the door, he saw the Zhou siblings standing there, both somewhat dumbfounded. Qin Wu chuckled softly and then greeted them:

"What are you two doing here?"

Zhou Yan swallowed hard, then spoke:

"Senior Brother Qin, what is your strength now?"

He had just sensed something different through Qin Wu's breakthrough.

He could sense an extremely powerful force within it, a force so immense that he couldn't even grasp its exact nature. Therefore, he simply couldn't believe what level of strength Qin Wu possessed now.

In his view, Qin Wu might already have broken through the twelve acupoints and reached the stage of True Qi Emergence. After all, the sheer density of True Qi emanating from Qin Wu could only be explained by the True Qi Emergence stage.

However, Qin Wu and the other two joined Tianwu Mountain at the same time. Although Qin Wu's strength improved extremely quickly, there is no reason why he could step into the True Qi Realm in such a short period of time.

Most importantly, Qin Wu's aura was far stronger than that of ordinary True Qi Realm experts, and they simply couldn't figure out what had happened to Qin Wu.

Zhou Qiao'er, standing to the side, wore the same expression, while Qin Wu simply chuckled. He didn't hide anything and spoke directly:

"I have gained some insights during this period, and with some fortuitous encounters, I have now barely managed to break through and become a martial artist at the initial stage of True Qi."

"You actually reached the initial stage of True Qi."

Zhou Qiao'er stared at Qin Wu in disbelief, as if he were a monster. Just then, a figure suddenly appeared; it was Cang Xuanwu.

Cang Xuanwu had been keeping a close eye on Qin Wu's situation, so he rushed over the moment Qin Wu emerged from seclusion.

At the same time, he also heard Qin Wu say those words, and Cang Xuanwu was stunned.

Qin Wu had only been on the mountain for a few months at most, yet in such a short time, he had already become a martial artist who could project his true qi into his body.

You have to understand, this is simply impossible. Before this, the fastest record in Tianwu Mountain was two years to become a martial artist who had reached the True Qi stage.

Moreover, this was back when Tianwu Mountain was not yet in decline, and it involved disciples who had been trained since childhood, only formally joining Tianwu Mountain after reaching adulthood.

It could be said that Qin Wu's current cultivation speed was unprecedented, unheard of in history. Such terrifying talent made him extremely excited.

He patted Qin Wu's shoulder abruptly, and seeing that Qin Wu hadn't moved an inch, his face lit up with ecstatic joy:

"What a fine lad! I never expected your talent and strength to reach such a level. To become a martial artist who has reached the True Qi Realm in such a short time, it seems that Tianwu Mountain truly has a worthy successor this time."

As he spoke, a hint of smugness crept onto his face, and he said:

"I knew there was nothing wrong with what I did back then. Some people even said it wasn't worth offending the entire Kunlunxu for your sake."

Now let's see what those guys can say. With you here, the next hundred years of Tianwu Mountain are already secure.

A while ago, those guys from Kunlunxu tried to cause you trouble, but I turned them all away.

However, kid, I heard that you also have some conflicts with the Guiyuan Sword Realm.

Although you have now broken through to the True Qi Realm, the power of the Guiyuan Sword Realm is no less than that of Kunlun Ruins. You should still be careful to avoid attracting the attention of the Guiyuan Sword Realm and causing trouble.

At this point, Cang Xuanwu's expression suddenly became somewhat solemn. Noticing this expression, Zhou Yan asked:

"Elder Cang, what's wrong? You seem a bit off. Has something happened at Tianwu Mountain?"

Cang Xuanwu first nodded, then shook his head and said:

"It's not just Tianwu Mountain that's in trouble, it's the entire prefecture that's in trouble."

A few days ago, Taixuzi from Kunlun Ruins came here and told us about something. The demons outside the Chaotic Pass have made some moves and may very well attack the Chaotic Pass.

When that time comes, it will surely be a bloody battle.

Perhaps you are not very familiar with the situation, but this is why my Tianwu Mountain declined.

Now, a war between humans and transvestites is imminent, and if such a war breaks out, it will be a huge problem for all of us.

Upon hearing Cang Xuanwu's words, Qin Wu and the others' expressions also turned solemn.

They certainly knew what this meant. They could sense the power of Tianwu Mountain back then, even just from the ancient texts. But in a single battle, Tianwu Mountain was almost completely destroyed.

The situation was similar for other sects. Although their circumstances were somewhat better than Tianwu Mountain's, even the weakest sects had lost 80% of their strength. Under such circumstances, several decades would not be enough for the entire continent to recover its power.

Qin Wu frowned and said:

"Elder Cang, based on what I've read in the ancient texts, the demon race is stronger than our human race. Under such circumstances, I'm afraid Great Zhou won't be able to withstand them, will it?"

Cang Xuanwu didn't hide anything, he simply nodded and said:

"That's true, but the Great Luo Dynasty is right behind us, outside of our Great Zhou. So this time, the Empress of Great Zhou has already sent a request for help to the Great Luo Dynasty."

Although we don't know the stance of the Great Luo Dynasty, support is certain to arrive; after all, their fates are intertwined. However, the Great Luo Dynasty has grown arrogant over time and probably doesn't fully understand the ferocity of this battle, so we can't count on them.

Cang Xuanwu's expression carried a hint of helplessness. This was the current situation facing their Great Zhou Dynasty, and also the greatest predicament they, as martial arts sects, faced.

Those people from the Great Luo Dynasty had no idea of ​​the power of the demon race. In their eyes, a single Great Zhou Dynasty could hold off the entire demon race. But how could that be possible?

The reason they were able to hold off the demon race last time was due to the countless sacrifices made by the Great Zhou. This time, they probably don't have that kind of power anymore.

Just as they were talking, a bell suddenly rang out. Upon hearing the bell, Cang Xuanwu's expression changed slightly, and he immediately spoke:

"Follow me to the main hall. Nine chimes signify a momentous event!"

A sense of unease crept into everyone's hearts.
