: Seven Years in the Spirit Domain, Thoughts on the Fifth Martial Dao

"Go and call Elder Liu," Tang Jinyan ordered in a deep voice after a moment of silence.

"Yes, Miss!" The maid left.

"Elder Liu, I heard that you have some connections with the Zheng family in Yuzhou. I plan to go there in the near future. Can Elder Liu introduce me?" Tang Jinyan said with a smile.

"It's a small matter. The young master can take this token of mine to Zhengguo," Elder Liu nodded.

"Thank you, Elder Liu!" Tang Jinyan said happily.

After seeing off Elder Liu, Tang Jinyan began to make preparations to go to Yuzhou. These secret matters naturally required her personal involvement to ensure that there would be no leaks.

On this day, Tang Jinyan set off for Yuzhou.

...

"It worked!" Looking at the flying boat floating in front of him, Fang Hao wiped away his sweat and said excitedly.

"Let me try!" Su Lingxiu couldn't wait to give it a try.

With a wave of her hand, the boat, which was several zhang long, instantly shrank and was held in her palm. At this moment, the boat looked like a decorative item.

With a movement of her body, Su Lingxiu floated in mid-air and released the boat.

Boom!

A boat, hundreds of zhang long, with pavilions and towers, appeared in mid-air. Faint purple lightning surrounded it, and when it was activated, it seemed as if a purple thunder dragon was coiling around the boat.

"The boat can transform and hide underground, becoming a manor with both defense and attack capabilities. It can display formations, restrictions, and more," Fang Hao explained.

"It can activate a shield and display magnificent phenomena, like a real dragon coiling or a divine phoenix flying," he continued.

"But it requires a considerable amount of spirit crystals, but it's worth it," he added.

"It can hover in mid-air and its speed is not slower than that of a peak expert. It also has a certain degree of concealment," Fang Hao explained.

"With this boat, I can travel and practice medicine everywhere. The name Evergreen Pavilion will spread throughout the Spirit Domain, and anyone who sees me, the Medicine Immortal, will have opportunities!" Su Lingxiu said happily.

Shi Er, Zhou Ying, and Meng Shushu also entered the boat excitedly and began to learn and try to control it.

As for the spirit crystals needed to operate the boat, it was nothing to them. They had emptied the treasuries of the Jade Divine Sect and the Su family, and had plenty of spirit crystals.

Moreover, Evergreen Pavilion had a considerable income of spirit crystals every day, so they could spend them as they pleased.

Fang Hao began to refine his own boat. With experience and the fact that the second boat was not as powerful as the first, it was not difficult to refine.

The boat that the master traveled in needed more thought, but the one he rode in could be made casually.

After a few days, the second boat was finally refined.

It was also time for Fang Hao to go to the headquarters of the Eternal Alliance.

On this day, he bid farewell to his master and the others.

"Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother have already made a name for themselves in the Spirit Domain. My name as the Medicine Immortal is also well-known. Now, we only lack Junior Brother," Su Lingxiu said as she handed a pill to Fang Hao.

"Don't worry, Senior Sister. The name Fang Hao will soon spread throughout the Spirit Domain."

Fang Hao confidently said.

A flying boat about thirty zhang long soared into the sky, turning into a stream of light and disappearing in an instant on the horizon.

On the flying boat, there were two figures standing, Fang Hao and Yue Changming.

"It's time to change the place for practicing medicine."

Su Lingxiu spoke up.

So, Shi Er, Zhou Ying, and Meng Shushu began to pack up their things and moved everything into the flying boat.

Zhu Xingzheng came to bid farewell.

Although he also wanted to stay at Evergreen Pavilion, he knew that he was not a member of Evergreen Pavilion after all, and he should start taking action to compete with the geniuses.

"Zhu Xingzheng, this pill is for you."

Zhu Xingzheng had also helped at Evergreen Pavilion, and Su Lingxiu didn't like owing favors. She naturally wouldn't be stingy with the rewards she should give.

"I'm returning the Golden Horned Deer to you."

Su Lingxiu said.

Although the Golden Horned Deer looked good, it couldn't compare to the adorable Red Cat. She suddenly missed the Red Cat.

"Thank you, Miss Su!"

Zhu Xingzheng bowed.

"Xiao Jin, you're disappointing!"

Zhu Xingzheng rode away on the Golden Horned Deer, muttering to himself.

"I have fought for such a great opportunity for you, but you are not capable enough to win the favor of the seniors. Your luck is not enough. From now on, you should follow me honestly and listen to me. You won't go wrong if you listen to me."

"If you listen to me, how could you miss opportunities?"

"So, in the future, I will make you work hard, and you must work hard. As long as you work hard, you won't lose your life, but instead, you will gain great opportunities."

"Even if I ask you to block a fatal attack, you must not hesitate because I have my reasons..."

The Golden Horned Deer felt depressed and nodded, saying, "I understand. I will never make mistakes in the future and won't question your decisions..."

Li Xuan's mouth twitched. Zhu Xingzheng was really good at taking advantage of the opportunity to flirt with the Golden Horned Deer.

"Evergreen Pavilion will travel around to practice medicine. Today, we will leave this place. Everyone, please disperse. If we have fate, we will meet again for medical treatment."

Cai Linger looked at the martial artists waiting in line for treatment and said.

A powerful momentum erupted, and the martial artists dared not make a noise and could only retreat in disappointment.

Boom!

A magnificent flying boat appeared in the sky above Evergreen Pavilion, surrounded by purple lightning, radiating dazzling light, and even a true dragon circling around.

The sudden scene shocked the martial artists.

"What kind of Divine Weapon is this?"

"I don't know. I've never heard of it!"

The flying boat flew away, not at a fast speed, as if deliberately showing off.

Li Xuan sat on the top of the flying boat's attic, leisurely enjoying the scenery along the way, while Cai Linger served by his side.

She no longer planned to return to the Sea Spirit Clan.

The flying boat landed in a certain place in Luo Prefecture with a loud noise. The entire flying boat enlarged, and pavilions and buildings emerged, turning into a mansion.

The Evergreen Pavilion plaque shone brightly.

From this day on, Evergreen Pavilion only accepted difficult and complicated cases, only treating martial artists with fundamental injuries. Ordinary injuries and illnesses were not accepted, but healing pills could be purchased.

Su Lingxiu began to travel around the Spirit Realm, and the Evergreen Pavilion flying boat would not stay in one place for too long before flying to the next location.

Gradually, the news of the Evergreen Pavilion flying boat spread throughout the Spirit Realm. It was said that encountering Evergreen Pavilion was an opportunity, and this saying became more and more widespread.

In the Thunder Cloud Mountain Villa, Lei Tong and the other powerful members of the Thunder Cloud Mountain Villa remained silent. When the flying boat appeared, this kind of Divine Weapon shocked them.

"It is feared that Heavenly Venerable cannot have any thoughts about Evergreen Pavilion in the Spirit Realm before the Divine Bridge is opened," said the Lord of Cloud Mountain solemnly.

"Lord, why would there be a Heavenly Venerable in the Spirit Realm?" asked Lei Tong in confusion.

"I don't know. Everything will have an answer once the Divine Bridge is opened," replied the Lord of Cloud Mountain, shaking his head.

"The Spirit Realm should also become lively now that the competition of the young talents has begun. The outstanding disciples of the Spirit Sect should all start to make their moves, not just focusing on Xu Yan and Meng Chong."

"Xu Yan and Meng Chong are now renowned and have the titles of the first and second young talents, but who can claim the pinnacle of the young talents? Only the final battle can determine that," said the Lord of Cloud Mountain in a deep voice.

"Understood!" nodded the elders.

Unlike the previous time, this time's competition of the young talents coincides with the opening of the Divine Bridge, and the core young talents of the Transcendent Spirit Sect will appear in this event.

As Xu Yan entered the Great River State and his whereabouts became obscure in the Martial Dao world of the Spirit Realm, the discussions gradually decreased. Meng Chong also did not appear publicly to challenge the young talents, and the discussions decreased accordingly.

However, the young talents of the Earth Spirit Sect continued to emerge and engage in battles almost every day in every major city.

As the competition of the young talents intensified, the rankings on the young talents list kept changing, but the only things that remained unchanged were Xu Yan's first place and Meng Chong's second place on the list.

The elimination rules for the competition of the young talents were also announced.

Three consecutive losses would be considered elimination!

The Martial Dao world of the Spirit Realm became lively, and the name of the Divine Physician Fairy on the Evergreen Pavilion's flying boat continued to spread. Injured young talents and even those whose foundations were shattered were able to regain their vitality under the miraculous healing of the Divine Physician Fairy in the Evergreen Pavilion.

Some young talents even challenged their opponents again and defeated them, earning the qualification to advance to the next round of the competition of the young talents.

In Yuzhou, Tang Jinyan was in the residence of a high-ranking official in Zhengguo, searching for clues about the Martial Artists who entered the Spirit Realm from the Inner Domain, hoping to uncover the truth about Xu Yan.

After pondering for a moment, the high-ranking official in Zhengguo gave her a portrait. It was a Martial Artist who entered the Spirit Realm from the Inner Domain while holding a jade token.

As for Du Yuying and others, who were related to the Transcendent Spirit Sect, the high-ranking official dared not reveal any information.

He only provided a portrait of an irrelevant person.

This person entered the Spirit Realm with the Su family's jade token, but the Su family had been annihilated, so he was unsure if the person was still alive.

Tang Jinyan began her search in Yuzhou, but in order to avoid revealing any information, she did not use any other powers. Instead, she personally investigated the former territory of the Su family with her trusted maid.

For this reason, she even changed her appearance to avoid being recognized.

Yuzhou was no longer under the control of the prominent families of the Spirit Sect as it used to be. It was now jointly governed by the Eternal Alliance and independent cultivators, and the status of Martial Artists from the Spirit Sect and the prominent families was no longer as high as before.

The territory of the Su family was vast, with several large cities. It was not easy to find one person.

Moreover, whether the person was still alive was also an unknown.

"Seven years have passed."

Dazezhou, one of the eighteen provinces of the Spirit Realm, was known for its numerous rivers, lakes, and swamps, hence its name.

Jinhe Lake, a famous lake in Dazezhou, was named after the golden lotus flowers that grew there, unique to the Spirit Realm.

Under the glow of the setting sun, the golden lotus flowers emitted a noble aura, giving the lake a sense of grandeur.

As the flying boat swayed on the lake, Li Xuan drank spiritual tea and enjoyed the beautiful scenery of Jinhe Lake from the pavilion.

It had been seven years since entering the Spirit Realm.

And the final battle of the competition of the young talents was getting closer and closer.

In these seven years, numerous young talents emerged in the Spirit Realm, one after another, gaining fame. However, until now, no one has been able to replace Xu Yan and Meng Chong's rankings.

Not even Fang Hao.

Now, Fang Hao had become a renowned young talent of the Eternal Alliance, leading the alliance to rise in power. With the introduction of communication symbols, he established a more efficient information transmission system, greatly shocking the Transcendent Spirit Sect.

Following that, teleportation arrays were set up to connect the major cities of the Eternal Alliance, greatly reducing the time for rescue and transportation.

Although the teleportation arrays were not yet capable of cross-province teleportation, one after another, the teleportation arrays were gradually being connected.

Chenzhou has completed its arrangements. Strong individuals can rescue various parties in a very short time through teleportation arrays, thoroughly turning Chenzhou into an impregnable fortress that cannot be shaken.

These methods that subvert the common knowledge of Martial Artists in the Spirit Realm have been revealed, making Fang Hao's name deeply rooted in people's hearts. Independent cultivators have also gradually become inspired and no longer look up to the Spirit Sect and aristocratic families.

The control of the Spirit Sect has been truly threatened for the first time!

Stealing Fang Hao's Martial Dao secrets, assassinating Fang Hao, and capturing Fang Hao have become the most urgent goals of the Spirit Sect.

Fang Hao has been attacked more than once!

Although it is known that they come from the Spirit Sect and there is the shadow of the Transcendent Spirit Sect behind them, there is no evidence.

The Transcendent Spirit Sect has also revealed some hidden methods at this moment!

Fang Hao once encountered the most dangerous situation and even became contaminated with the aura of death. This insidious power was extremely troublesome and could only be sealed in a meridian and purified with a purifying formation to remove the aura of death.

And Yue Changming once again shook the Spirit Realm. As Fang Hao's protector, Yue Changming showed his formidable strength in the face of attackers.

Especially when Fang Hao was careless and contaminated with the aura of death, Yue Changming took the initiative to attack and killed a powerful individual from the Qianwu Hall.

Now, Fang Hao is already the Young Alliance Leader of the Eternal Alliance. It is only a matter of time before he takes over as the Alliance Leader. In the entire Eternal Alliance, there is no one who does not submit to him.

Even the two strongest geniuses of the Eternal Alliance mentioned by Zhu Xingzheng are the same.

Fang Hao's Martial Dao methods are too profound, surpassing their imagination. They have no choice but to submit.

"Your disciple Xu Yan has broken through to the Divine Origin Realm Consummation, and your Divine Ability Realm has also reached Consummation."

The Great Dao Golden Book opened, and golden light emerged.

Xu Yan has made another breakthrough.

In these seven years, Xu Yan has been constantly active in the Dachuan Province, entering some ancient tombs and defeating certain remnants of divine souls.

The harvest has been enormous.

Of course, he has also encountered some special and powerful existences, but Xu Yan has killed them all.

Now, he has reached the Divine Origin Realm Consummation.

"This is the joy of improving one's strength."

Li Xuan was extremely excited.

Xu Yan is getting closer to the Divine Ability Realm.

Now, all four of his Martial Dao paths have reached the Divine Ability Realm.

While Fang Hao was studying formations, restrictions, and fighting against various attackers, he gained insight into the path of the Qimen Martial Dao. Li Xuan has already condensed five Innate Qi Patterns, one of which is a Divine Ability Qi Pattern.

The Divine Ability Realm of the Qimen Martial Dao does not give birth to Divine Abilities, but the Divine Ability Qi Pattern itself is the root of a Divine Ability. By setting up a grand formation, it possesses the might and subtlety of a Divine Ability.

It is no different from a Divine Ability.

Among the four disciples, Xu Yan is still the strongest. Now that he has reached the Divine Origin Realm Consummation, even Wu Tiannan is not his match, even though Wu Tiannan has also improved his strength.

Xu Yan can almost be said to be at the peak of the Spirit Realm.

Meng Chong and Su Lingxiu have reached the Divine Origin Realm Perfection.

Although Fang Hao's realm is also in the Divine Origin Realm, the strength of the Qimen Martial Dao lies in techniques such as formations. It is effortless for him to set up a grand formation to suppress and refine powerful individuals.

"Let's ponder the fifth Martial Dao."

Li Xuan had the idea of creating the fifth Martial Dao.

"The cultivation method after reaching the Divine Ability Realm of the Fleshly Martial Dao has already been compiled, and there are also some clues about the cultivation after reaching the Void Shattering Realm. The cultivation directions of the Alchemy Martial Dao and the Qimen Martial Dao have been determined, so there is no need to spend any more effort."

"It's time to ponder the fifth Martial Dao. As for finding the fifth disciple, in such a vast Spirit Realm, I should be able to find one, right?"

Li Xuan muttered to himself.

Wu Tiannan left the Evergreen Pavilion a few days ago and, following his guidance, traveled and comprehended the world of the Spirit Realm, accumulating strength to break through his limitations.

He could send a message to Wu Tiannan, asking him to pay attention to the geniuses of the Spirit Realm in preparation for accepting the fifth disciple.

"How should I compile the fifth Martial Dao?"

For a moment, Li Xuan had no clear ideas.
