Chapter 591: Chapter 591

Ji Jingqiu walked along the path under his feet toward the depths, murmuring.

The Federation sent the younger generation to the Nine Provinces Ancient Road not only for training and experience but also hoping they could seize opportunities, and essentially, for territorial expansion.

The Federation’s current main gateways and portals are located in the Oasis.

Oasis is unlike Yanfu—it lacks a dominant force like the Nine Palaces and has mixed powers.

And the right to exploration that the Federation wants is said to involve higher-level resources and is linked to the performance of the younger generation on the Ancient Road.

Although he has topped the Ancient Road, he is associated with the name of Nine Palaces, and it is uncertain whether Oasis would recognize it. Surely, he can’t just pull himself over for a tour?

Ji Jingqiu stopped, unknowingly, he had arrived at the place where he first met Cheng, where the old dilapidated residential buildings had been demolished, and only that abnormally growing tree that was situated lower but still vigorously growing upwards remained.

People, like trees, must find their roots to flourish.

According to Aunt Mu, in the end, Martial Arts has no "immaculate duckweed".

"After visiting several elders, it will be time to breakthrough the Chains Realm..."

Ji Jingqiu took a long breath, his expression invigorated.

For him, who has unlocked the Physical Body Divine Store, Chains Realm was destined to be different from other Martial Artists.

After returning to the Federation for the first time in a year, Ji Jingqiu had quite a bit of miscellaneous matters to handle and elders to visit.

Master Yang, Senior Brother, Senior Zhuang, Sir Mu... even the Four Directions God!

Even the Qingyang Ancestor, who had been conscripted, had contacted him via remote video.

He had originally wanted to ask the Qingyang Ancestor for more details about the conscription.

But the latter avoided the topic, simply stating that he would know soon.

Ji Jingqiu pondered for a while, searched online but found no official release.

Instead, there were all sorts of rumors online— total silence in the Martial Arts forums, lacking their usual activity, as if everyone was worried about something.

Ji Jingqiu scrolled through previous posts and realized that for months, there had been rumors that the Federation’s strongest would soon embark on a campaign.

And starting from half a month ago, some well-known powerhouses had gradually disappeared from public view, which had been confirmed.

Ji Jingqiu scrolled through but found nothing substantial, so he closed the forum, as there were still piles of things waiting for him.

Aside from visiting elders, he had also received a pile of invitation letters and emails from various parties.

Most of the former were efforts from various forces to attract and befriend him.

While he was devoted to Martial Arts, he couldn’t snub these powers trying to befriend him where there were no conflicts, so he left them all to Senior Brother, letting him politely refuse all under the pretext of his breakthrough.

As for the latter, it mostly consisted of greetings and inquiries from elders with whom he had some connection like Yue Yourong, Yin Wushuang, and others.

There was even an email from the Ji Family.

Ji Jingqiu picked a few emails and replied.

He remembered Ji Anquan mentioning to him that although the Ancient Road had dangers, the survival rate of Federation Martial Artists on the Ancient Road was over 81%, surpassing the Federation’s expectations.

It was considered a satisfactory report.

At least those known by Ji Jingqiu had not run into any mishaps.

After all, figures like Yue Yourong were all of Arrogant Sun stature.

On the Ancient Road, being a Sealing King was enough to dominate an area, being careful, it was unlikely to encounter any deadly situations.

And towards the middle and later stages, when the Sun and Moon Alliance illuminated the Ancient Road, the dangers they faced were mostly from exploring the plane itself.

Ji Jingqiu spent a full five days handling all these matters.

After visiting and greeting everyone, he also spent time reviewing information about the Chains Realm, especially various breakthrough experiences from Martial Artists within the Dragon Tiger Dojo.

Even reviewing videos about refining the body and breaking free of Chains!

The Chains Realm, known as a vital step in the leap of life, was also the peak of physical potential a Martial Artist could achieve before breaking through to become a Heavenly Person.

Only by refining the physical body to the ultimate level could one qualify to pursue the Body Unification.

The essence of this realm is "burning" and "sublimation."

It involves burning the Origin, tearing apart the personal Chains to pursue the physical extreme, sublimating one’s essence of life, and thereafter roaming freely in the world!

The ancients believed that all spirits born between Heaven and Earth band "Chains."

Only by breaking free from the invisible chains restricting their limbs, body, organs can one roam the world freely, attaining Great Freedom.

To tear apart the Chains, one needs Divine Sense to sense the presence of Chains, then burn the Origin and break free from the Chains during self-sublimation.

But it’s also because of burning the Origin that Martial Artists in this realm not only do not increase their lifespan but actually see a significant reduction.

Without adequate "energy" replenishment, many die halfway.

This realm has the highest risk of death due to cultivation accidents among all realms, exceeding the combined total of other realms!

Furthermore, Chains Realm is the extreme of the physical body; when the body is strengthened to a certain degree, it can even independently manifest Divine Skills.

Naturally, the occurrence of self-generated Divine Skills is very low, ordinary Martial Artists usually plant Divine Power Seeds in their bodies, watering them with Divine Materials to bloom the flower of Divine Skills and greatly leap in combat power.

Of course, Ji Jingqiu didn’t delve too deeply into this and chose to skip it.

He has the Lotus Pond and Heart Lotus, having already established the foundation to nurture Divine Skills back in the True Seed Realm.

Unsurprisingly, he intends to pursue the Divine transformations of the Formless Dao Body into Divine Skills in Chains Realm.
