Rise from a Low-class Family to Martial Artist

Above the abyssal cliff, Lin Chen’s expression remained calm, the Canglan energy within him flowing naturally.

Beneath his feet, the familiar Canglan energy surged, but ahead lay a thick mist.

With every step he took, an ice-blue ripple spread out beneath his feet, supporting his form.

Lin Chen tread lightly as if walking on waves, each step extremely smooth.

Ten steps, fifteen steps...

Upon reaching twenty steps, Lin Chen noticed a difference. The Canglan energy in the abyss below which was like water originally supporting him, now began to entwine around his feet, pulling him downward.

Simultaneously, the Canglan energy within him was also being dragged down by an invisible force from his feet.

His steps faltered momentarily, Lin Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, but in the next moment, the Canglan energy within him started to circulate in another form, dispelling the binding force beneath his feet once more.

Twenty-five steps, thirty steps...

At the instant he stepped onto the thirty-first step, Lin Chen staggered slightly, only to feel a terrifying force hammering down on his body, even his entire mind was rumbling.

After thirty steps, the pressure he faced suddenly multiplied.

But fortunately, he still endured it.

”Though I don’t know what is so special about the cultivation technique the Sect Leader mentioned, since it can garner such attention from the Sect Leader, it must be extraordinary.”

”What lies in wait for me is a great opportunity. Whether I can seize this opportunity depends on this moment, a chance like this won’t come again.”

Reflecting on the past years he spent pursuing the Martial Path, Lin Chen knew clearly that his progress wasn’t just due to the help of the panel; it was also because he grasped every chance along the way without fail.

Opportunities are fought for.

And if he had missed even a single opportunity before, he might not be standing here now.

Though his start in the Flame Dynasty was much better compared to Liang, the principle was the same.

”Hang in there!”

Lin Chen roared inwardly, struggling to continue forward, every step becoming more difficult.

The further he went, the tougher it got.

Towards the end, not only his body, even his Divine Soul was oppressed by an inexplicable force, until eventually, only his instinct was driving him forward.

An instinct to never miss any opportunity!

One step, two steps, three steps...

At the cliff’s edge, Ji Cangtian watched as Lin Chen’s figure gradually vanished into the mist, an excited look flaring in his eyes. After so many years, the Canglan Sect finally has someone who could reach the other side of the mist.

...

Boom!

The surrounding oppressive force suddenly dissipated, and Lin Chen’s consciousness slowly began to return.

As his consciousness returned, Lin Chen’s eyes immediately looked ahead, freezing in place.

Before him, two lines of script floated silently in the air.

[Connecting the Celestial Ruins above, reflecting All Heavens Stars as Canglan’s Eyes]

[Reaching down to Nine Netherworld, hiding the ancient tribulations as the Key of Reincarnation]

These two lines were not unfamiliar to Lin Chen; they had also appeared when he initially comprehended the Canglan Treasure Manual.

And just as Lin Chen fixed his gaze on these two lines, an ethereal voice suddenly whispered beside him, gradually intensifying like sacred chimes echoing in his ears.

”Connecting the Celestial Ruins above, reflecting All Heavens Stars as Canglan’s Eyes, reaching down to Nine Netherworld, hiding the ancient tribulations as the Key of Reincarnation...”

Though the voice was calm, it somehow carried a magical power that irresistibly drew Lin Chen’s entire mind, making the Canglan energy within him feel summoned and begin to circulate in an eerie manner.

”Tides, abyss...”

Lin Chen felt as if he touched something, yet always just a step away, like an opalescent veil standing before him, concealing secrets that captivate the soul.

Just one more step forward, push aside the veil, and the True Meaning would be revealed.

Unfortunately, Lin Chen’s body felt as if it was welded to the spot, unable to move an inch.

He wasn’t willing...

Whoosh!

The next moment, Lin Chen’s Divine Soul split into several strands of Divine Thought, forming a hand that gently went to lift the opalescent veil, beholding the Divine Emperor.

Boom.

The two lines of script began to shift, transforming into countless rays of light, shooting towards the center of Lin Chen’s eyebrows at that moment.

As each ray of light entered his body through the center of his eyebrows, it quickly settled in various areas surrounding his body — twenty-four primary acupoints, seventy-two acupoints, and numerous hidden acupoints...

If anyone could see Lin Chen at this moment, they would be astonished by the changes around his body.

Ice-blue light, akin to fireflies, illuminated Lin Chen’s entire body, numbering in the tens of thousands, and these firefly-like ice-blue lights continued to flourish, eventually linking up into ice-blue lines corresponding to all meridians throughout Lin Chen’s body.

Just a glance would leave an indescribable sense of beauty.

The light flickered rhythmically, and upon close observation, one could see that Lin Chen’s breathing rhythm precisely matched the brightness and dimness of the light.

Time passed ever so slowly.

Who knows how much time passed, when the internal glow faded away, Lin Chen opened his eyes, immediately inspecting his body, astonishment surfacing within his gaze.

The Innate First Realm transforms Gang Qi, using the power of the five elements to form Innate Power, enabling him to ride the wind, directing a stream of Gang Qi over a hundred feet away with just a finger.

When progressing from the Innate First Realm to the Innate Second Realm, one needs to condense Innate Crystal within the twenty-four acupoints.

From the first to the twenty-fourth acupoint, much like during the Opening Acupoints Realm, once all twenty-four are reached, he can step into the next realm.
