C199 I Am Here to Watch You

Such a magnificent feat could be said to be unprecedented, perhaps even unprecedented. Lyi Hentian had never seen or heard of anyone who could achieve such a feat in the Innate Stage.

But now, his disciple had done it. He had completely attained his peak condition. He was so excited that he was yelling and shouting, and even dancing with joy. Even when Duanmu Kuang had completed nine rebirths, he had not been able to make him lose his composure like this. He almost grabbed his white beard.

"Hu..." Duanmu Kuang took a deep breath, and his eyes shone brightly. Just now, he seemed to have gone through a dozen years again. He had looked back at the path of martial arts in the past and solved many problems.

When he opened his eyes, everything was different. He felt as if he had entered another world, as if he had seen everything. What he heard, what he smelled, and what he could feel... Everything had undergone a tremendous change.

Duanmu Kuang's eyes became clearer, and he could clearly distinguish every tiny grain of sand in the ground. His ears also became more intelligent, and he could even faintly hear the flow of wind in the air, which was almost still. Furthermore, the flowers and trees in the surroundings were gradually growing. He could sense all the minute changes.

This wasn't because the things in his surroundings had changed, but because his entire body had improved by leaps and bounds, becoming even more ethereal, and he had touched upon a mysterious domain within the Innate Stage Realm.

Currently, the Yuan Qi in Duanmu Kuang's body was surging and surging, filling his entire body. It was as if thousands of horses were galloping, and the Yuan Qi within his body was flowing with a rustling sound. It was as if it was going to break out of his body. At this point, he could no longer rise in the Innate Stage Realm. He had reached the extreme peak, and was only a step away from the Essence Opening Stage.

Without a doubt, Duanmu Kuang only needed to take this step lightly. He could break through to the Essence Opening Stage at any time, and step into a new world of martial arts. However, compared to this, what he cared more about was his clothes. After all, being naked in front of a wretched old man was not a pleasant thing no matter how one looked at it.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

The moment Lyi Hentian let go of the restraint on him, Duanmu Kuang quickly moved. He took out a set of clothes from his interspatial ring and carelessly put it on himself. Only then did he truly relax.

"Alright, now that I've put on my clothes, it's time for me to break through to the Essence Opening Stage." Lyi Hentian smiled brightly. He didn't stop this scene until Duanmu Kuang put on his clothes.

The old man was striking while the iron was hot. He wanted Duanmu Kuang to break through to the Essence Opening Stage in one go in his best condition, and then he could start a new chapter of martial arts.

Of course, with Duanmu Kuang's current condition, breaking through to the Essence Opening Stage was as easy as flipping his palm. However, who was Lyi Hentian? The breakthrough he was looking forward to. Naturally, he was different from ordinary people. He had to let Duanmu Kuang be completely focused in order to achieve the best effect. Naturally, he could not let ___ be naked. Otherwise, if this little bastard became strong-willed and absent-minded, he might spoil the big deal.

"Now, every word that this seat says, you brat will firmly remember it. Breaking through to the Essence Opening Stage is a very important matter, and it will have a profound impact on your future development. Don't let your guard down. " Lyi Hentian spoke slowly, lecturing Duanmu Kuang and explaining the details of breaking through to the Essence Opening Stage. He also explained the things he needed to pay attention to.

In the beginning, Duanmu Kuang was still a little careless, because in the Central Plains... When a martial artist breaks through to the Essence Opening Stage, it's nothing more than simply increasing and condensing Yuan Qi. When the Yuan Qi in one's body was condensed to the point where one's body could not withstand the saturation when breaking through to the Innate Stage, one could be considered to have reached the Essence Opening Stage. As for whether a person's talent is good or bad, and whether their combat strength is strong or not... Depends on the solidity of a martial artist's origin energy at this stage.

In Duanmu Kuang's opinion, it wasn't difficult for him to break through to the Essence Opening Stage in his current state. It could even be said to be a matter of minutes. However, following Lyi Hentian's explanation, his expression gradually became serious.

The old man's point of view was completely different from the common view on the continent. He pointed out that a martial artist must condense all the Yuan Qi in their body into a solid form in the Innate Stage Realm and transform it into Yuan energy. Only then could they truly step into the Essence Opening Stage.

And this was also the origin of the Essence Opening Stage. At the same time, it was also Lyi Hentian's request to Duanmu Kuang.

"Transformation of Yuan energy into Yuan energy?" Duanmu Kuang was shocked by this new viewpoint. It was undoubtedly very difficult to convert all the Yuan Qi in his body into Yuan Qi at his level. It could even be said that it was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.

Generally speaking, those who could convert all of their origin energy into essence energy... At the very least, he was an Earth Origin Stage warrior. Because martial artists were restricted by the shackles of their bodies, it was very difficult for ordinary martial artists to truly convert all of their Yuan Qi into Origin Energy. Only experts at the Earth Origin Stage or above could withstand the toughness of their bodies. Furthermore, only such experts had sufficient Yuan Qi to convert into essence energy.

Among the people Duanmu Kuang had met before, there was only Eldest Senior Brother and Wu Yue from the Five Mountain Sect. They had done it before reaching the Earth Origin Stage. Wu Yue was considered an abnormal being. He had broken through the shackles of the human body when he was still in the Profound Essence Stage. He had converted all his Yuan energy into Yuan energy, and this had caused his name to resound throughout the Zhennan feud. He also enjoyed a very high reputation among the younger generation in the continent.

Duanmu Kuang respected him as well. He regarded Duanmu Kuang as his idol and his goal to surpass in the future. However, other than Wu Yue, he had never seen anyone else who could break this limit.

Because it was too difficult. Someone as powerful as Wu Yue, a young expert whose name shook the entire continent... He had only reached this level when he was only at the Profound Essence Stage. One could imagine how difficult it was to break this limit. Not to mention that Duanmu Kuang was also a Xiantian realm martial artist. Lyi Hentian had already made such a request. This seemed like an impossible mission.

He was puzzled. If he asked Lyi Hentian a question, could a Xiantian realm martial artist really do it?

"Mm, theoretically it is possible. This lord had once mentioned someone to you, and he had done it. When he was in the Innate Stage Realm, solidifying his Yuan energy and breaking through to the Essence Opening Stage, he was recognized as the strongest person in the history of the world." Lyi Hentian glanced at him and said indifferently.

"The person I mentioned?" Duanmu Kuang became interested. It was hard to imagine that someone could actually do it. He vaguely remembered a person's name and asked, "Old man, tell me quickly. Is this person Duanmu Haotian?"

"That's right. This person is the first master of the Bloodthirsty Heavenly Bead - Duanmu Haotian." Lyi Hentian gazed at the horizon, his eyes filled with solemnity as he spoke word by word.

After that, he turned his head and stared at Duanmu Kuang, and slowly said, "You little brat, I know that this is very difficult. This is a huge chasm. Many martial artists will also be stopped, and it will be difficult to achieve. But you are different. You have your own conditions for success. Even a phenomenon like the Three Flowers Gathering at the Peak has appeared. What else could be difficult for you? Therefore, you have to give yourself confidence. I believe that you will succeed. You will definitely succeed as well. I will stand here and watch you break through. Watch you succeed, watch you grow..."
