Chapter 609: Chapter 609

In addition, the cultivation of the Divine Embryo and the breakthroughs are much safer than the conventional breakthrough methods in the Chains Realm.

At least there is no risk to life.

Ji Jingqiu is deducing whether, after advancing past the Seven Breakthroughs and forging the Bodhi Golden Body, he could reach the Extreme Realm of the Chains Realm?

From the Chains Realm onwards, there are no longer clearly defined realms or Extreme Realms like ’Spirit Mechanism Constant’ or ’Reverse Innate’.

Perhaps, after completing the Body Unification, his Inner Heaven and Earth would undergo a new transformation.

The largest force in the southern part of the Federation’s Star Domain is the Mu Family that occupies the South 7th District, and the Yang Family of the South 1st District, both among the six great families.

If these two families didn’t intentionally control their influence, the entire southern Star Domain would fall into their hands.

Even now, several time zones neighboring these two families are mostly their followers and vassals.

The South 5th District is one such time zone close to the Mu Family.

Once part of the Hundred Veins, the Vajra Sect had its glory days, and this planet was once named after their dojo.

However, thousands of years ago, as the last Heavenly Person of the Vajra Sect traveled across All Realms without a trace, the Vajra Sect declined.

Now, the urban circle of South 5 Cang Star has no less than twenty cities, bustling with martial arts halls and more than a dozen sects.

The martial arts culture on this planet is robust and vibrant, far surpassing that of the previously remote "East Three Bright Star".

And within a small town on this planet.

Inside a martial arts hall bearing the name "Vajra".

"Master, why agree to respond to the challenge?" asked the man, puzzled.

There was no need to respond; they could have just ignored it.

Sitting opposite him was a middle-aged man, whose demeanor was as calm as the sediment of time, devoid of any ostentation or flamboyance, only serenity and composure.

He calmly said, "The other party, also one of the Hundred Veins, naturally follows the ancestral practice of discussing martial arts veins. Why not accept?"

"But..." the man frowned deeply.

The middle-aged man said indifferently, "You have been stuck in Divine Travel for many years, and your Spirit Realm is close to reaching Pan Ding. It’s time to prepare for the breakthrough in the Chains Realm."

The man was startled, his eyes drooping, revealing a wry smile. He now understood his master’s intention.

Was the master agreeing to some deal with the other party, using what little remaining reputation their lineage had to pave the way for Ji Jingqiu, in exchange for resources for his own breakthrough?

He had been stalled at Divine Travel for years, partly due to the elusive spiritual mechanism and partly to Refining Heart, but also because of insufficient resources.

The cultivation resources required for the Chains Realm are like a bottomless pit.

There are two paths in this realm, one is to enlighten oneself between life and death and break free from the chains, the other is to accumulate Life Origin with time and resources.

Escaping each chain requires a vast amount of Life Origin.

Their lineage simply cannot support two Chained Martial Artists at the same time.

He smiled bitterly, perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, their lineage had made a great profit from this battle?

The so-called little remaining reputation was probably just their own perseverance, something no one else cared about.

"This is the former location of the Vajra Dojo?"

At the street stalls along the road, several men frowned as they looked at the sect’s sign hidden deep in the alley.

"Zhang Yue from the Sun and Moon Dojo?"

Across the street, someone chuckled.

The leading man turned his head and looked, his eyes narrowed, and he greeted with clasped hands and cordial words:

"Turns out to be Qiu Shou from the Luoxia lineage. How is An Ying doing?"

Qiu Shou, who had spoken earlier, appeared slightly perturbed, his gaze dimming as he sighed, "Haven’t you heard? An passed away not long ago while attempting the fifth Chains breakthrough, a Life Transformation failure leading to backlash and death."

Zhang Yue was stunned for a moment, sighed, and a sense of impermanence welled up within him.

He and An Ying were contemporaries, having competed with each other and promised to meet at the Heavenly Person Peak...

"I’ll pay my respects to Brother An in a while," Zhang Yue said somberly.

From not far away, other martial artists sighed:

"One life for each chain, without breaking the five internal organ chains, one can’t even see the threshold of the Heavenly Human Boundary, let alone break the spinal chain’s restriction which could directly increase the success rate of the Heavenly Human Boundary breakthrough by ten percent... The temptation is too great, who doesn’t wish to free them all?"

"Golden Body, the indestructible nature of gold, is the beginning of immortality. Each step forward is a fundamental transformation," someone murmured.

Zhang Yue looked around and noticed in certain corners, many "acquaintances" from different martial arts veins were sitting.

At a glance, there were at least a dozen families.

Most of the visitors were in the Chains Realm, probably there, like him, to enjoy the spectacle and take a look at Ji Jingqiu of Dragon Tiger Dojo, to see just how outstanding he was.

For a moment, the sunlight that fell on the street was bright and dazzling, while the people sitting in the shadows on both sides fell into silence.

Once stepping into the Chains Realm, Federation Martial Arts reveal their cruel fangs and begin the most severe selection.

The first four chains, if one is cautious, will at least not lead to death.

But after the fifth chain, the restrictions of the five organs, any slight misstep can be fatal.

After a while, sensing the heavy mood, someone among them took the initiative to change the subject.

"The Vajra Sect... This lineage has long declined. High barriers to entry and even more difficult to comprehend the passing down of Divine Skills, but the current head of the sect still entered the Five Breakthroughs realm."

"Five Breakthroughs? That’s quite good already. Of course, a former member of the Hundred Veins deteriorating to only one Five Breakthroughs individual is indeed a decline."
