Kyushu Daoist Master

"Not a lot, just two months." Wu Tianhong said slowly. Yang Ze's retreat time was not very long. The main reason was that Yang Ze gained a lot from his retreat this time. It only took two months to achieve such a big improvement. It was really nothing.

As soon as Wu Tianhong explained, Yang Ze's heart moved. According to this calculation, there were still seven and a half years left before the drastic change of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The time was getting tighter and tighter. Originally, Yang Ze didn't think it was a big deal, but as time went by and he traveled abroad in recent years, he became more and more worried.

The situation in Jiuzhou was not good. To be more precise, the situation in Piaomiao Martial Academy was not good. Although the four academies and five sects were of the same blood, there was no guarantee that there would be any trouble after the great change of heaven and earth.

And there was also the court. Ji Shitian was definitely not a person who would sit and wait for death. He was still the strongest man in Jiuzhou. Although the ancestors of the four academies and five sects could repel Ji Shitian together, if it was a one-on-one fight, no one in Jiuzhou could be Ji Shitian's opponent.

Even Zhuge Changyun, the second strongest person in Jiuzhou, is the same. If Zhuge Changyun confronts Ji Shitian head-on, he will only be defeated. The gap between the sixth and seventh ranks is still too big. Even Zhuge Changyun, who is strong, can hardly change this situation.

In addition, there is the Jueshen Sect that has always been hidden in the dark. Yang Ze always has a fear of the Jueshen Sect. The strength of the Jueshen Sect is too strong. Every time it only shows a part of its strength, it can create a lot of trouble.

Once the drastic changes in the world occur, the Jueshen Sect will certainly seize this opportunity to make its own forces stronger. They hide in the dark, not just to counterattack and occupy Jiuzhou.

As for the many monsters in the endless sea, although these monsters have been driven to remote places and are the smallest threat here, they should not be underestimated.

Thinking of so many enemies, the joy of this breakthrough is gone. Yang Ze only feels a pressure coming. Fortunately, his master is still there, otherwise he would not have the time and opportunity to practice quietly like this.

"Not bad, not bad, you have already taken such a big step in the early stage of the sixth rank. It seems that before the great changes in the world, you have a chance to break through to the peak of the sixth rank."

A laugh came from outside, and Yang Ze turned around and saw that Zhuge Changyun had appeared at the gate of Piaomiao Palace at some point.

After this realm upgrade, Yang Ze looked at Zhuge Changyun again, but saw more things. At first glance, Zhuge Changyun's aura was extremely strong, and it was impossible to see the details clearly. It felt as vast as the ocean.

Including Zhuge Changyun's blood and qi, which was also magnificent and amazing. The degree of that kind of blood and qi was much stronger than Yang Ze, who had cultivated the Unbreakable Golden Body, and Yang Ze could not compare at all.

The only place where Yang Ze might surpass him was that the vitality contained in Zhuge Changyun's blood and qi was much less than his. Although it was magnificent, it seemed that there was a lack of upward momentum.

This is not surprising. Zhuge Changyun lived for nearly 740 years. His life span has long exceeded the limit of a sixth-grade warrior. Although he died, he probably didn't have much life left.

"Meet the Master." Yang Ze and Wu Tianhong both bowed to Zhuge Changyun.

"Hey, the soul has grown so much." Zhuge Changyun saw Yang Ze's spy at a glance, and suddenly took a step forward. The whole person disappeared on the spot and appeared directly in front of Yang Ze.

In Yang Ze's surprised eyes, Zhuge Changyun's right hand directly pressed on Yang Ze's forehead.

"Don't move, I'll check some things." Yang Ze, who was subconsciously trying to break free, immediately stopped after hearing Zhuge Changyun's words.

However, after a few breaths, Zhuge Changyun moved his hand away from Yang Ze's forehead, and the smile on his face became even stronger. It turned out that his soul was strong, even stronger than your senior brother. It seems that in this regard, you have actually walked ahead of your senior brother.

This time it was Wu Tianhong's turn to be surprised. He never thought that Yang Ze's soul would be stronger than his.

This does not mean that Yang Ze's spiritual awareness has exceeded his. Spiritual awareness is just a way to show the power of the soul. Because Yang Ze's realm is not enough, the power that his soul can show is not much. This is the reason why his spiritual awareness is not as huge as Wu Tianhong's.

But as Yang Ze's realm breaks through, his spiritual awareness will gradually surpass Wu Tianhong. The essence is that his soul is stronger than Wu Tianhong, and he can use more means relatively speaking.

"Yang Ze, maybe you don't understand the importance of soul strength yet. I can tell you that the most critical point of soul strength is related to the seventh-grade master realm.

If you want to break through to the master realm, you must have a strong soul to support it. If the soul is too weak, it is impossible to break through to the seventh-grade master realm. Not many people know about this, because there are only a few of us who are qualified to touch the threshold of the seventh-grade master realm."

Zhuge Changyun smiled lightly. Although his tone was very calm, Yang Ze still caught the arrogance between his eyebrows. This is normal. Top masters like them have reached the peak of the sixth grade. If it weren't for the lack of spiritual energy in the world, they would have already broken through to the seventh-grade master realm.

After hearing this, Yang Ze suddenly realized that the power of soul is so important. Fortunately, he got two such herbs. Otherwise, he might be stuck when he breaks through the seventh-grade master level in the future.

"It seems that I have to work harder. The power of soul has not increased much in these years. If it continues like this, it won't be long before I will be left far behind by my junior brother. I think Zhengkong also needs to retreat for a while. Let's leave the affairs of the martial arts academy to the elder for the time being."

Wu Tianhong said with a smile. He himself is not a person obsessed with power. If someone can take over the martial arts academy temporarily, he can't wait to practice.

"It's okay to retreat, the martial arts academy can't rely on one person alone. Only when more and more powerful people appear, the martial arts academy can hope to continue to pass on. Yang Ze, what about you, do you have any plans for the future?"

"I plan to continue to practice in the martial arts academy for a while. After my realm is completely consolidated, I plan to leave the martial arts academy to travel."

Yang Ze said his plan. He was not in a hurry to go out because the Thunder Gang Burst Blade had not been practiced yet, and the spiritual attack had not been mastered thoroughly, so he was not in a hurry to go out.

"That's fine. I won't stay in seclusion before you leave the martial arts academy. If you have any questions and want to ask me, you can come to me at any time. If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

After Zhuge Changyun finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, but before he left, Yang Ze stopped him.

"Master, wait a moment. I have a few questions to ask you now. They are about the soul."

"This matter cannot be explained in a few words. Since you want to understand, come with me. I will take this opportunity to explain it to you." Zhuge Changyun took Yang Ze away, leaving only Wu Tianhong in the Piaomiao Palace.

Wu Tianhong sighed and began to deal with the last few things left in his hands. After all the things were dealt with, he also wanted to go into seclusion.

...

On the second day, Yang Ze returned to his cave. He looked a little tired, but his eyes were full of light.

Zhuge Changyun talked to him about knowledge for a whole day. Yang Ze spent a lot of effort to absorb this knowledge, but this knowledge did not make him tired. What really made him so tired was that Zhuge Changyun taught him a secret technique of cultivating spiritual consciousness.

Spiritual consciousness is a means of displaying the power of the soul. If the spiritual consciousness can be strengthened, it can also feed back to the soul and promote the strengthening of the soul.

But there are too few secret arts involving spiritual consciousness, and there are only a few in the entire Jiuzhou. Zhuge Changyun just happens to have such a secret art.

This secret art is called the Soul Refining Art, which mainly strengthens one's own spiritual consciousness by tempering the spiritual consciousness, and then launches attacks through the enhanced spiritual consciousness.

The reason why Yang Ze was tired was because he tried to use the Soul Refining Art once under the guidance of Zhuge Changyun, so he was so tired. Using a secret art directly was also a big burden for him.

However, the Soul Refining Art was still quite satisfactory to Yang Ze. Tempering spiritual consciousness was not very effective for Yang Ze, but using spiritual consciousness to launch attacks was of great benefit to him. His soul was now strong and he lacked this method of use. As long as he truly mastered this secret art, his own combat power could increase a lot.

Thinking of his arduous task, Yang Ze did not dare to rest for too long. After a nap, he was almost refreshed and immediately began to practice.

He first practiced this soul-refining technique. A faint white light emanated from his body, and sweat began to appear on his forehead, which was a symbol of practicing soul-refining technique.

Keeping this state, Yang Ze persisted for a whole day and night without moving. His face had become extremely pale. Suddenly, his eyes opened, and the strong white light that had long been hidden in his eyes burst out at this time, directly punching two holes in the stone wall.

After the two rays of light blasted out, the white light on Yang Ze's body dissipated, and the whole person's breath was much weaker, and his body fell directly forward.

Sweat dripped down, Yang Ze's face looked very haggard, but his eyes exuded a kind of excitement. In just one day, he had made considerable progress in soul-refining technique.
