The Heavenly Realm is divided into nine layers, condensing true blood and true essence.
After entering the Heavenly Realm, cultivation in each layer is extremely difficult, especially for the former Dragon Country Heavenly Realm Kings.
The third King, Zhou Fangzun, had been in the Heavenly Realm for decades, and his cultivation was only at the third layer, which shows how difficult Heavenly Realm cultivation is.
Chen Jiuyang, with the Ten Great Famous Demonic Blades, the Yan Sheng Blade, in hand, was the main reason for his rapid cultivation breakthrough.
In the depths of his being, Chen Jiuyang seemed to feel that everything related to the Yuan Dao was being integrated into every part of his body, making his body and the Yuan Dao more harmonious, thus making him more powerful in combat.
"Is this the prelude to entering the Dao in the Venerable Realm?"
The Venerable Realm is also known as the nurturing of entering the Dao.
Upon reaching the Heavenly Realm, if one wishes to advance their cultivation, they must create their own martial dao.
Chen Jiuyang could vaguely perceive what the Dao was.
The Dao of a martial artist is different from the Dao of an immortal path.
The Dao of a martial artist is the exploration of oneself, probing one's own limits.
The Dao of an immortal path is the pursuit of resonance with heaven and earth, seeking eternal life.
It cannot be spoken; one can only perceive and experience it silently.
What is entering the Dao? It is the formation of one's own Dao, the realization of divine abilities, and the opening of a true path without confusion in the martial path.
The gap between the Heavenly Realm and the Venerable Realm truly depends on talent.
Without one's own Dao, one cannot move forward after entering the Heavenly Realm.
Therefore, the Venerable Realm is called transcending the ordinary and becoming a sage, breaking one's own limits, and obtaining greater power through oneself.
The path of invincible divine abilities is not an empty name; one's heart contains heaven and earth, crowned with invincibility.
"So, what is my own Dao?"
Chen Jiuyang began to ponder.
Since he started practicing martial arts, he had always been pushed forward, never actively thinking for himself.
Entering the Yellow Realm was to strengthen his body and heal his injuries.
Entering the Profound Realm was to bring justice to his father and destroy the Wang family.
Entering the Earth Realm was to deal with Xi Butui killing Zhong Zhuowu.
Entering the Heavenly Realm was to repay the karmic debt to his country and revive the Dragon Country's destiny.
After the Martial Ranking World Competition, he would no longer owe the country's destiny.
At that time, what would his martial dao be, and what would be his motivation?
In a daze, Chen Jiuyang's expression became somewhat lost.
What was his own path, and what was his pursuit of the Dao?
Various doubts and questions surged into his mind.
A moment later, he slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of turbid air.
His aura surged significantly, and his cultivation advanced to the fourth layer of the Heavenly Realm!
"Jiuyang, congratulations."
"You kill enemies on the battlefield to promote our country's prestige, and after the match, you break through your cultivation. These are two joyous occasions."
"Truly congratulatory."
Chen Jiuyang's expression was calm, and he smiled, "It was a fortunate breakthrough due to some gains."
Yan Hongming: "..."
Ye Tiannan: "..."
Han Lixuan: "..."
He Wuji: "..."
King Yan smiled gently, "It seems to be a natural breakthrough, so there's no need to worry."
Many people knew that Chen Jiuyang used the Ten Great Famous Demonic Blades, the Yan Sheng Blade, but they did not know that the Yan Sheng Blade and the Yan Sheng Method could devour the life force of enemies and strengthen oneself.
King Yan said, "Jiuyang, the Dragon Country Television is still waiting for your live interview. Don't keep everyone waiting too long. Go and accept the interview."
Chen Jiuyang nodded slowly and said, "Alright."
...
Chen Jiuyang sat before Yun Jingbai and Eka Fu Ben again.
"This is Dragon Country Television, I am host Yun Jingbai."
"I am host Eka Fu Ben."
"Player Chen Jiuyang, congratulations on being the first to enter the fourth round of the Martial Ranking World Competition, and for powerfully defeating your opponents on the stage. What are your thoughts on this match?"
Chen Jiuyang spoke eloquently and said,
"I don't have any thoughts."
"I said on social media this morning that this was settling old and new scores together. I kindly advised them to prepare coffins."
"But it seems they didn't listen to me. Look, the dignified European Union's Law God, Lamia-Vellon, fought for his country and ended up dead without even a coffin. I express pity for his fate."
"If they can't afford the money, I can personally donate an urn for Lamia-Vellon."
"Oh, no, half an urn. He doesn't deserve a whole urn."
"..."
Those watching the live broadcast burst into laughter.
"Well said, Chen Jiuyang. This is killing the spirit and then desecrating the corpse."
"Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter. Expressing pity for his fate."
"Why didn't I realize this great killer, Chen Jiuyang, had a dark humor side before?"
Bang—
Faced with this live interview watched by countless people, the European Union Martial Ranking members were naturally watching.
A member of the European Union Martial Ranking directly smashed everything in front of him, his face darkening.
"This Chen Jiuyang of Dragon Country is too arrogant. He must be killed on the stage!"
"Exactly. He thinks he's invincible in the Martial Ranking World Competition just because he defeated a few opponents. If that's the case, then he's thinking too much."
"In the next match, we must teach this Chen Jiuyang of Dragon Country a harsh lesson. Contact the United States."
...
After the interview, Chen Jiuyang received countless praises.
He even had the leisure time to take out his phone, log into social media, and post an update.
"I said what I would do."
"Is anyone else daring enough?"
As soon as the post went up, Chen Jiuyang's social media feed exploded, being reposted by countless people.
It was a moment of pride!
When did Dragon Country produce such a fierce person, not only arrogant in personality but also incredibly strong.
...
The third round of the Martial Ranking competition was extremely brutal.
Only twenty-seven contestants could participate in the fourth round of the Martial Ranking World Competition.
Those who reached this stage were the elite of the elites from various countries.
Within Asia.
Only Chen Jiuyang and Ye Tiannan remained from the Dragon Country Martial Ranking team.
The Eastern Sun Country was completely annihilated. Sakurai Sanbu, who had previously vowed to compete with Chen Jiuyang in the Martial Ranking World, was directly killed by a US esper warrior, his blood splattering on the stage.
The Indian God Country still had two people.
Ye Tiannan also benefited from his innate sword body, having long ago created his own sword dao and inherited the legacy of the Shu Mountain Sacred Land, making his strength incredibly formidable.
Although Yan Hongming was the son of King Yan, he had entered the Heavenly Realm for too short a time. He had been practicing martial arts using the Sky Dragon Breaking City Spear and had not yet fully stepped out his own martial dao, thus he was eliminated, which was regrettable.
Upon reaching the Heavenly Realm, it depended on one's innate talent and self-created martial dao.
However, Dragon Country had already plundered enough destiny from other countries this time, which was enough for Dragon Country's dragon veins to revive and unlock their restraints, allowing more people to step into the Heavenly Realm, and even the Venerable Realm.
Dragon Country was currently in the process of large-scale coronations and training Sword Holders.
Although Dragon Country's revival brought great strength, order was the primary concern.
In a Dragon Country hotel, Chen Jiuyang, Ye Tiannan, King Yan, and the Dragon Capital Sword Holders sat together at one table.
"Entering the fourth round, use any means necessary to win each match."
"Having reached this point, once you are on the stage, everything is about calculation and strength."
"The Dragon Country Martial Ranking team of my year stopped here. I hope you can surpass us!"
