How should I put it, do you think this person’s Taoist Soldier could have already touched upon...” “Extreme Tao Domain?” Wei Zhong’s eyebrows twitched, guessing what Changshan was about to say. His expression became a bit moved, and after hesitating for a while, he shook his head: “You and I both know that once reaching the realm of a Taoist Soldier, although no specific levels are delineated, the foundation is essentially set from the Profound Body Realm. The stronger the Divine Skills one cultivates, and thus the harder the Heavenly Pass they open by knocking, the stronger the Tao Seed that sprouts. The more Geng Metal can be integrated, the higher the quality of the forged Taoist Soldier. Once formed, it’s basically fixed; subsequent growth requires the nurturing of long years. For ordinary martial artists with their comparatively brief lifespans, it is not yet sufficient to break through; at least I have not heard of such. As for cultivating to an even higher realm, that goes without saying. Those who reach that step need no further discussion; they have already stood at the pinnacle of Martial Arts.” “Although I have not seen it myself, only heard about it from books, Colonel Chen’s Taoist Soldier, strong as it is, has not yet reached that domain, otherwise those people’s Taoist Soldiers would shatter on contact and would likely not last even two or three exchanges.” An Extreme Domain refers to a Taoist Soldier breaking beyond the limits of its materials and the Tao Seed, leading to a multiplicative surge in combat power. It has great potential for growth, and as the realm increases, the enhancement of the combat power it can unleash becomes even more terrifying. In the Worldly society, it is also known as the Limitless Taoist Soldier! Such rumors are widespread in the martial world, but very few have actually seen it. “This General only felt that Lord Chen’s Taoist Soldier was so powerful that it inspired such discussion!” Changshan nodded; he had only mentioned it casually for the sake of discussion. Wei Zhong didn’t dismiss it outright, planning to discuss matters of the Three Families’ aftermath further with the other two. “Now, although the Three Families have been destroyed, these figures who have jumped out are just minor characters; the real forces behind them...” Before he could finish, suddenly a loud rumbling sound came from outside, followed by a piercing shriek capable of penetrating gold and cracking stones. The three Colonels immediately sensed a great oppressive force emerging, their expressions changed in an instant, and they shot out towards the great hall exterior. “How bold, who dares to...” Wei Zhong thought it was a powerful enemy who had barged into the Inner City, but the next second his eyes widened in shock. He saw a streak of flowing light speeding towards this direction. A Three-pointed Two-blade Spear, at times long, at times short, seemed out of control, raising waves of air along its path, flipping the roofs of many buildings and creating a mess in the ranks of troops. “What’s going on?” Wei Zhong naturally recognized this spear, which had been discussed earlier, but seeing the spear heading this way, his eyebrows and eyes twitched, “This won’t do, we must control this weapon first, otherwise it will tear down my tower.” Saying this, his figure flickered in the void. First, he unleashed the Forbidden Divine Power towards the long spear. Unexpectedly, several beams of Divine Light meant to restrict the spear were scattered before they even reached it. Wei Zhong, now somewhat startled, then concentrated, looking quite serious. He let out a shout, and a tornado burst forth from his mouth, rapidly expanding from the size of a foot to that of a twister, roaring towards the Three-pointed Two-blade Spear owned by Chen Yuan. The next second came a booming sound. The long spear shattered the tornado and continued its charge without losing momentum. Wei Zhong’s face showed shock as the spear came closer, and he hurriedly shouted. “Both of you, stop it quickly!” Seeing Wei Zhong fail twice in a row, the other two were also taken aback and immediately made a move. Three beams of Divine Light struck Chen Yuan’s Taoist Soldier at the same time. The long spear vibrated violently, continuously shattering the Spirit Light, and with the three of them pushing hard against it, the Divine Light surged, finally calming down the spear. At that moment, Wei Zhong took the chance to flash towards the spear, his hands covered in dense True Qi, and seized the now-peaceful shaft. However, the next second his expression wildly changed; the spear fell, and his body was immediately dragged downwards, plummeting crazily. “So heavy!” He didn’t even have time to react. Seeing this, Changshan and Wu Sheng promptly reached out, condensing giant hands of True Qi towards the long spear. “What?” Cries of astonishment rang out. The two of them unexpectedly failed to hold on, their bodies leaning to one side and then following suit tumbling down. Just then, a golden light shot forth like a meteor chasing the moon, rapidly approaching, and a hand stretched out with a grab. That three-pointed two-blade spear stopped its falling momentum, then, the spear vanished with a flash, turning into a streak of light, and with a “clang,” it landed in the hands of the now arrived Chen Yuan. The other three Colonels finally stopped their downward momentum, looking at Chen Yuan who had just appeared with shock and suspicion. Chen Yuan’s face held a bit of embarrassment, he swept his hand along the shaft, and the spear quickly disappeared, then with a fist clasped in salutation, “Three gentlemen, my apologies, there was a mishap when I was tempering my Taoist Soldier, which caused this spear to lose control. I hope none of you were injured.” Wei Zhong and the other two, upon hearing Chen Yuan’s words, their facial expressions turned a bit awkward; they really wanted to retort, ‘Is this your idea of manners?’ Had it not been for realizing that the three-pointed two-blade spear was uncontrolled just now, they would have thought that Colonel Chen was testing their depths. But soon, waves of astonishment churned in their hearts; Chen Yuan’s Taoist Soldier, without anyone controlling it, barely got under their combined control. Just thinking about the terrifying extent to which this spear would evolve in Chen Yuan’s hands sent chills up their spines. They couldn’t possibly block it! Moreover, they had witnessed the might of this spear with their own eyes before. Previously, they felt the spear was strong, but now what they felt was sheer terror. At this moment, the three Colonels were in a state of shock and suspicion. Reflecting on the conversation they just had, they felt somewhat dazed. They didn’t know how strong this spear now was because they would have to wait for Colonel Chen to make his move again! “So that’s how it is!” At this time, Tianxiong Pass’s Colonel Wei Zhong spoke up. Despite feeling a bit embarrassed by the display of ineptitude, he wouldn’t fail to give face to Chen Yuan, “Colonel Chen possesses vast divine powers, a simple spear left the three of us in a panic, making Lord Chen laugh at us.” Speaking to this point, Wei Zhong actually felt a twinge of jealousy: “Colonel Chen, if you don’t take offense, I would like to ask how much does this spear weigh?” If you’re saying this Taoist Soldier is impressive, he would acknowledge it; during the previous night’s hunt, killing the Three Families’ experts at Heavenly Pass, this spear demonstrated striking might and impressive battle merits, leading to the earlier speculation among the three. But to say that he couldn’t even lift up a spear now, this Colonel in charge of guarding the Pass who naturally carried a bit of pride, found it somewhat hard to accept. The scene just now truly made his face turn a shade of red due to frustration. Chen Yuan could probably discern the Colonel’s implications, “I’m not entirely sure myself.” Saying so, he raised his eyebrows slightly, and the long spear reappeared in his hand, plunging straight downwards, embedding itself into the plaza in front of Colonel Palace. Chen Yuan held back his strength, otherwise, he estimated that this plaza might be ruined. “Colonel Wei might as well try to weigh it.” “Sure!” Wei Zhong agreed heartily, and his figure descended, landing on the plaza beside the over one zhang long three-pointed two-blade spear. Next, it was seen that this Colonel in charge of guarding, placed one hand on the shaft of the spear, and with a shout, his body expanded, and his arm suddenly thickened with strength heaved upwards. “Lift!” The long spear didn’t budge an inch! Following that, Wei Zhong used both hands. “he” The veins on his neck bulged out. The spear finally moved. But it was a small movement, barely half a foot. Still, the spear wasn’t completely pulled out. “hmm” Wei Zhong’s face turned red, whether from using too much force or from feeling uncertain. This time, he directly used True Qi Divine Power. “zipping” Finally, the Three-pointed Two-blade Spear was slowly pulled out from the ground. “whoosh” After holding on for two breaths, Wei Zhong let go, exhaling deeply. He was at a loss for words now. The spear was much heavier than he had imagined. Relying solely on his physical strength, he could not move it at all; only by using Divine Power could he make it budge. It was hard to imagine the horrific fate of anyone who would be struck by this long spear, given its terrifying weight. “I’ll give it a try!” The Heavenly Pass’s Colonel from the Fourth Heavenly Barrier, Changshan, had been eager to try since earlier. He was very curious about Chen Yuan’s Taoist weapon and stepped forward with his towering frame. Next, his body started to crackle sounded. His body swelled to nearly two zhàng in height, his aura growing wild, as if he was using some kind of physical Divine Skill. With every step he took, the ground shook as he moved forward! Like Wei Zhong, he first tried using his physical strength. “he” His muscles bulged, faring slightly better than Wei Zhong, pulling out an extra half foot. Afterward, he too had to rely on True Qi to pull out the spearhead. The situation was not much different. Wu Sheng then gave it a try as well, with similar results. At this point, the three of them were completely convinced of Chen Yuan’s ability. After all, when you can’t even move someone’s weapon, what’s there to compete with? “Lord Chen, I, Old Wei, am thoroughly convinced!” If the gap was slight, there would still be a competitive spirit. But with such a wide gap, only respect remained. Wei Zhong gave a sincere bow with clasped hands and then burst into laughter: “One day, Lord Chen will surely soar to great heights. The four of us coming together is fate. Let’s go, come on.” “Lord Chen’s welcome banquet hasn’t been held yet. I’ll arrange for the wine! Lord Chen, please don’t refuse. You’ve solved a big problem for me, Old Wei. If word got around that you, Lord Chen, came to support the Tianxiong Pass and didn’t even get a hot meal or a jar of good wine, what would our colleagues think of me later on?” “Isn’t that right, the two of you?” Changshan and Wu Sheng also chuckled and nodded their heads. Chen Yuan had nothing much to say and naturally went with the flow. “Good!” “Please!” “Someone, prepare the banquet!” “Yes!” ........ After a joyful round of drinking, time passed from the high sun of morning until the slanting sun of the afternoon. Chen Yuan was pushed back to his yard by the soldiers in charge of the cart. “General!” “Go slowly!” Outside the courtyard gate, Colonel Liu Qing lifted the curtain, ready to help Chen Yuan off the cart. Chen Yuan waved his hand, looking completely sober after what initially seemed like drunkenness. When drinking, one should enjoy the slight intoxication it brings. Once the banquet is over, everything goes back to normal. Chen Yuan returned to his yard, back to his quiet cultivation room. Looking up at the hole in the ceiling, his gaze suddenly became a bit peculiar. Next, he spread his arms and the Three-pointed Two-blade Spear appeared in his hands. Last night, after strengthening it with nearly two hundred Luck Points, he successively fused five pieces of Geng Metal and tempered his Taoist weapon. With the fifth piece of Geng Metal added, the Three-pointed Two-blade Spear seemed to have reached a certain threshold and suddenly underwent a transformation. The spear suddenly became more than twice as heavy, and its edge became incredibly sharp. For a moment, it raged violently, shooting towards the sky, and Chen Yuan was so shaken by the sudden change that his breathing became turbulent. It took him several breaths to catch up to it, and that’s what led to the subsequent events. Now, with a thought, a string of information emerged in his mind. “Chen Yuan: Ninth Mountain’s Colonel Realm: Fourth Heavenly Barrier (Taoist Soldier Realm) Luck Points: 45 Cultivation Technique: Dragon Subduing Stance (Perfect), Devil Suppressing Fist (Perfect), Taoist Inner Scripture Map (Perfect), Earthly Fiendishness 72 Skills (5/72) Magic: Beast Breeding, Devil Suppressing Fist Divine Skills: Consume, Dharma Eye (can be cultivated), swordsmanship, Mountain Carrying, Demon Transformation (Mountain Lord, Bull Demon, Zheng, Feiyi), Marriage Dream, Heavenly Cup Taoist Weapon: Three-pointed Two-blade Spear (Limitless) Limitless: A kind of Extreme Tao Domain where Taoist Soldier breaks limits, enhancing combat power, and as the realm increases, the amplification multiplies.” Chen Yuan’s thoughts churned, pondering the last line of the annotation. Clearly, through continual sacrifice of lives to the spear and accelerating the tempering of Geng Metal with Luck Points, he had unwittingly brought his cultivated Taoist weapon into a kind of Breakthrough Domain. Through his own experience, it was clear that entering this domain was not something achievable simply by tempering the Taoist weapon with more Geng Metal. The main reason, as he could vaguely sense each time he killed a Heavenly Pass’s Expert with his spear, was that his weapon became heavier and sharper, becoming clearer with each feeling as time went on. At this moment, he had a faint epiphany about what this thing was called. Momentum! An unstoppable momentum! A decisive momentum of killing and conquering! ...... And this seemed to be what one needed to grasp to advance to the Tao Fruit Realm! Chen Yuan had a vague realization, And in the future, he would just go with the flow.
