Martial Defiance Across Nine Thousand Realms

At the summit of Dragon Hidden Peak!

A majestic hall came into view, with the name "Dragon Hidden Hall" inscribed above.

In front of Dragon Hidden Hall was a spacious training ground that could accommodate at least a hundred disciples simultaneously.

Ye Han was stunned, feeling as if it was all a dream.

Was this really the place where he would live and cultivate in the future? It was ten times more imposing than the Lord's Manor of Flame City.

He could feel that within Dragon Hidden Peak, the concentration of the divine power from heaven and earth was incomparable to anywhere else, at least ten times denser than that of Divine Power Peak.

There must be some inscription array here that gathered the divine power of heaven and earth.

A blessed land!

These four words immediately surfaced in Ye Han's mind.

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from ".

With a mix of shock and unfamiliarity, Ye Han entered the Dragon Hidden Hall. Inside, four pillars supported the hall, each carved with a mighty dragon, symbolizing the four most invincible bloodlines of the dragon race: the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, the Primordial True Dragon, the Primordial Ancestor Dragon, and the Great Authority Heavenly Dragon.

Above was a central throne, and behind the screen were various chambers and secret cultivation rooms.

Walking within the hall, Ye Han even felt the divine power of heaven and earth constantly enveloping him, as if instinctively surging into his body and transforming into divine power, a truly miraculous experience.

"Back in the day, I, Ye Han, was just a nobody in Flame City!"

"I always envied those high and mighty geniuses spoken of by others, those disciples of great powers. I never imagined that now, within Cycle Academy, I would have a mountain of my own."

"Thinking of Li Kai and Lu Yunxiao, who used to tread on me with their status so arrogantly, they were ultimately defeated by my own hands. These so-called geniuses are nothing special. With effort, I, Ye Han, will be second to none."

Standing in Dragon Hidden Hall, Ye Han took a deep breath.

"Ye Zhixuan, you wanted to use Luo Tianzheng, even the Child of Reincarnation, Feng Wuliang, to suppress me, but I still made it to this point."

"Relying on others is a minor path; true strength is the king's way. Ye Zhixuan, once I defeat Luo Tianzheng, I will kill you with my own hands. Only by slaying you, this despicable woman, will my heart be unobstructed, my thoughts clear, and my path in martial arts smooth, ascending step by step."

Ye Han's will grew stronger and more resolute. He stood in the hall for a full quarter of an hour before gathering his thoughts and moving forward.

He wandered through the hall, familiarizing himself with everything, and soon entered one of the chambers.

Here too was the "Primordial Void Records" and other classics. Ye Han focused and began to study them seriously.

This time, meticulously, Ye Han finally became familiar with the entire Cycle Academy.

Including Dragon Hidden Peak.

Just as Ye Han had speculated, there indeed existed an incredibly magical inscription array within the peak, which could protect the safety of the entire mountain and gather the divine power of heaven and earth, as well as the energy of the earth's veins, allowing martial artists to cultivate more swiftly within the peak.

In one of the classics, Ye Han finally saw the explanation of the "Six Paths" mentioned by Li Futu.

The Six Paths are:

Heavenly God Path!

Asura Path!

Animal Path!

Hungry Ghost Path!

Hell Path!

Human Path!

There are legends of six paths of reincarnation in the world, and the foundation of Cycle Academy is indeed these Six Paths.

These Six Paths represent the six different inheritances of the academy, each possessing powerful secret techniques.

However...

Reading this, Ye Han's gaze became peculiar.

According to this classic, the inheritances of the Six Paths are so important that they are not accessible to ordinary people. Only those who have risen to become important Inner Disciples within the academy and passed various inspections, such as having an extremely clear background, are eligible to join these "Six Paths."

Ye Han had just been promoted to an Outer Sect disciple, and Li Futu had already directly invited him to join the "Human Path"?

"Could it be that he truly values my... good physique?" Ye Han couldn't help but think.

After thoroughly understanding the academy, Ye Han still wanted to check out other powers within the academy.

As stated in the classic, joining the "sects" within the academy does not conflict with joining one of the "Six Paths," so Ye Han was not in a hurry.

Of course, what he most wanted to join was the Limitless Sword Sect mentioned by Li Futu.

The way of the sword is known as the foremost path of offense in the world!

A sword without equal, with endless sharpness!

A three-foot green blade that can slash the heavens above and the netherworld below!

On the path of martial arts, who doesn't want to achieve the strongest, who doesn't want to be invincible in offense, who doesn't want to become an invincible Sword Immortal that shocks heaven and earth?

There are countless martial artists in the world, and at least seventy percent of them wield swords.

Ye Han also harbored such aspirations. Before, he had no choice, but now in Cycle Academy, he naturally wanted to follow the way of the sword.

According to this classic, the Limitless Sword Sect values talent above all else, with no other thresholds. It's not necessary to be an Inner Disciple to join, which reassured Ye Han a lot.

With many thoughts emerging, Ye Han continued to peruse various classics. After finishing them all, night had fallen deep.

Closing the books, he quickly entered a state of cultivation!

Now, with the support of divine power, Ye Han could completely replace sleep with cultivation.

He did not want to waste the excellent cultivation conditions of Dragon Hidden Peak, especially since Ye Han was very clear about his current situation.

Without going too far, just the pair of Luo Tianzheng and Ye Zhixuan, who had suffered a great loss in Demon Ridge, would probably come looking for him soon. He must become stronger to cope smoothly.

Sitting cross-legged in the hall, the Nine Heavens Dragon Control Technique was activated, and in an instant, the divine power of heaven and earth crazily surged into his body.

In the blink of an eye, more pure divine power was born.

The rolling divine power moved through his Qi Sea, constantly compressing, while also continuously refining the divine power within his body.

During cultivation, Ye Han discovered that the residual essence blood and core power of the ninth-rank Monster Beast King within his body further merged into his flesh and acupoints, making the effects of cultivation remarkably significant.

The more powerful the martial arts technique, the faster the speed of assimilating everything.

A ninth-rank Monster Beast King's core would take a normal martial artist at the First Layer of the Divine Power Realm at least a month or two to fully refine.

But after cultivating overnight, by the next morning, the essence blood and core power of the Monster Beast King that had settled in Ye Han's body had completely disappeared, fully integrated into Ye Han's body, truly transforming into his own power.

Within the Qi Sea, the robust divine power circulated, and the second strand of divine power was successfully born.

Second Layer of the Divine Power Realm!

Although it was with the help of a ninth-rank core, as well as the environment within Dragon Hidden Peak, including the Nine Heavens Dragon Control Technique and other factors, that he successfully transformed, the recent days of breakthroughs gave Ye Han the feeling of breaking through as easily as eating and drinking.

"Now with the support of two strands of divine power, coupled with the Eternal Invincible Dragon Body, my true combat power should be able to contend with a martial artist at the Fourth Layer of the Divine Power Realm, right?" Ye Han pondered.

He rose to his feet, feeling refreshed. After washing up, he left Dragon Hidden Peak.

Today, he was going to join the Limitless Sword Sect and embark on the path of the Sword Immortal.
