Chapter 48: Divine Power Realm

  Although the Black Wind Gang was destroyed, the Medicine Family did not make a big move. The Black Wind Gang was the Medicine Family's running dog, and this matter had long been known to many people. They speculated that the Medicine Family must be preparing for the upcoming Wangcheng Martial Arts Conference while searching for their missing genius and elder.

  The Dan Wang Pavilion was soon renovated and reopened. After the Hei Feng Gang was destroyed, the people of the Imperial City were also shocked by the strength of the Dan Wang Pavilion. Now they are all rushing to buy elixirs from the Dan Wang Pavilion, while the price of the Dan Wang Pavilion's elixir is much cheaper than that of the Medicine House, which has had a great impact on the Medicine House's elixir business.

  Most of the warriors who need to buy elixirs are not very wealthy and have no family backing, they work hard to earn money just to buy elixirs to enhance their strength, so in their eyes, whoever is cheaper will be chosen. Moreover, Dan Wang Ge has the Dan King from Nan Wu Guo sitting in town, making these people even more at ease.

  The main sales of Dan medicine are lower-grade products, while mid-range products are relatively rare. This is because mid-range products are much more expensive, and high-end products are even less popular among ordinary people who cannot afford them.

  Because of the low-priced spiritual medicine constantly supplied by Danxiang Medicine Hall, it reduced a lot of costs for Danwang Pavilion. Even if they sold it cheaply, there was still a huge profit. As for the spiritual money earned, Shen Xiang didn't take any of it, all of which were left for Danwang Pavilion to use as working capital.

  One day passed, Shen Xiang was still refining the true energy he had absorbed from the Black Wind Sect Master. The true energy of the Black Wind Sect Master was very turbid, and he extracted many impurities from it, finally refining the pure true energy into his own. This process took a lot of time.

  Shen Xiang's dantian was already full of true energy, and now he continued to compress the true energy, allowing his dantian to store even more, while simultaneously breaking through the 8th layer of the Mortal Martial Realm!

  Operating the Taiji Divine Technique, the Taiji yin-yang diagram in Shen Xiang's dantian began to spin rapidly. True energy continuously entered the Taiji diagram and was then decomposed into the five elements by the Taiji yin-yang diagram, sending them into those five true energy clusters.

  The eightfold realm of martial arts, the divine power realm! It's about merging one's divine consciousness and true energy together, giving true energy its own divinity. The true energy will become even more powerful, and the aura that condenses out will be stronger than the aura of the sevenfold realm of martial arts.

  To step into the eighth layer, one must first have a thick and robust true energy and a powerful divine consciousness. After Shen Xiang absorbed the true energy of the Black Wind Sect Master, his true energy had become extremely thick, and during the time his body was tempered in the Immortal Demon Pool, his spirit had grown exceptionally strong. Now, his divine consciousness is not weak either. As long as he grasps the method to merge his divine consciousness and true energy, he can break through.

  Every time the ten levels of martial arts are broken through, it's as if a big door is about to be opened. The previous stages can be blasted open with brute force, but later on, not only strength is needed, but also a certain "technique", that is, enlightenment.

  At this moment, Shen Xiang already had enough power, as long as he grasped the method of fusion of true energy and divine consciousness, he could open that door and enter the eighth level of Mortal Martial Realm, Divine Power Realm!

  Operating the Taiji Divine Power, he felt the profundity of the divine power. The true energy and spiritual consciousness within Shen Xiang's body slowly merged with his heart's intention. The formless spiritual consciousness and the five-colored true energy, these two powerful forces merged together, as if exploding within Shen Xiang's body, giving birth to a boundless and formidable power that continuously impacted the meridians, muscles, and bones of his body...

  "With a loud bang" in Shen Xiang's mind, it was as if a large door had been opened, and an endless stream of power poured into his body from the open door, making his strength even more formidable!

  Shen Xiang suddenly opened his eyes, and two white lights shot out from them. The golden mist that had been swirling around him slowly dispersed, and at this moment, everything in front of him was clear. The tiny dust on the ground seemed to be right before his eyes. Although his ears received sounds from all directions, he didn't feel any noise; instead, he could clearly distinguish multiple people's voices from the chaotic sounds.

  At a critical moment, Shen Xiang stepped into the eighth layer of the Mortal Martial Realm, the Divine Power Realm!

  He was just a boy who had almost reached seventeen years of age.

  ……

  ……

  The once-a-decade Wangcheng Martial Arts Conference has begun, which is open to people under the age of 20 nationwide. This time it was hosted by the Medicine Family, and there were also high-ranking officials from the Wudangmen sect in Xianshan watching. As long as you win first place, not only can you get a top-grade Spirit-level True Yuan Pill, but you can also gain the qualification to join that Wudangmen sect. What an enticing reward!

  To know that the Spirit Grade Elixirs are extremely expensive, generally they are not for sale, only some people who need them and the alchemists make an appointment to refine them, and there is also a risk of failure, let alone the top-grade True Origin Elixir.

  The Zhenyuan Dan contains a large amount of pure and true energy, after taking it, as long as it is slightly refined, a lot of true energy can be obtained, without the need to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for a long time to refine it, it is an excellent elixir for rapid cultivation.

  The number of people signing up for the Wang City Martial Arts Assembly was extremely high, but those who passed the assessment were very few, only forty! It can be seen that the requirements for this Wang City Martial Arts Assembly are so high.

  But in the test, Shen Xiang's score was the best, and with one punch, he shattered the measuring stone, making it impossible to measure his actual strength! However, at this moment, no one saw Shen Xiang arrive.

  The crowd in the Medicine Family Square was like a sea of people, all surrounding that high six feet and wide twenty or more zhang circular martial arts platform. On top stood thirty-nine young men and women, but Shen Xiang was still missing.

  "I heard that two days ago he wiped out the notorious Black Wind Gang. Will he be injured and unable to come?" someone in the arena said.

  "It's highly likely that the leader of the Black Wind Gang also has a Seventh-Order Mortal Martial Realm cultivation base. Young Shen Xiang might be evenly matched with him and they could end up mutually destroying each other." Another person said.

  "Hmm, no one has seen him at Danwang Pavilion for the past two days either. Looks like he won't be able to make it, what a pity." someone sighed.

  Everyone in the square came to see Shen Xiang's martial arts competition, but now that Shen Xiang hasn't arrived, many people are extremely disappointed. This made the arrogant young men and women on stage very unhappy, because those below thought that if Shen Xiang had come, he would definitely get first place.

  Just as everyone was discussing, a young man wearing black clothes, with sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, with determination between his brows, slowly stepped onto the ladder leading to the stage.

  Seeing the sudden appearance of this calm and handsome young man, the square suddenly fell silent, followed by bursts of exclamations. Shen Xiang had finally arrived, which made everyone excited.

  On the stage, forty young men and women, Shen Xiang was the most prominent, because they were dressed very simply, just ordinary black tight-fitting clothes, while others were dressed in luxury, but in terms of temperament and physique, they were far inferior to Shen Xiang.

  Shen Xiang gives people a feeling of maturity and stability, with only a faint smile on his face, while the other young men and women are all haughty and arrogant, with an air of pride, as if no one can be put in their eyes. It makes people feel very uncomfortable, so everyone still thinks Shen Xiang looks more comfortable.
