I Can Strengthen Everything

"Peak of the True Qi Ninth Layer. We haven't seen each other in over a month, and your progress is quite impressive."

"I've made some small improvements, just a single step forward," Fang Xing said, cupping his hands in respect.

"Have a seat. Don't just stand there. There are no outsiders here, so why be so formal?"

Hong Miaojin spoke, and Fang Xing nodded before sitting down.

Hong Miaojin walked to the main seat and sat down, a smile on her face as she spoke. "From the True Qi Seventh Layer to the True Qi Ninth Layer, from the Late Stage to the peak—an entire major breakthrough. And you call that a single step? Others couldn't manage a 'small step' like that in a year, maybe longer."

"You praise me too highly, my lady. I am merely doing my best to follow in your footsteps," Fang Xing replied courteously.

Hong Miaojin looked at him with a beaming smile. "Your progress is excellent, and your aura is powerful. It seems your ranking on the Hidden Dragon List will be rising again soon."

"It's just an empty title. I don't pay much attention to it," Fang Xing replied.

He was being honest.

To him, the Hidden Dragon List was completely useless. Its only purpose was perhaps to boost one's personal fame a little.

More than anything, though, it was just trouble.

Who knew if someone from a Martial Dao Upper Sect would show up looking for another "spar."

His Martial Arts were only for killing!

"You've come out of seclusion at just the right time. The new year is approaching, and I plan to return to the Capital City in a few days. You're coming with me."

Hong Miaojin said.

'I'm going too?'

Hearing this, Fang Xing stared at Hong Miaojin in astonishment.

"What, you don't want to?" Hong Miaojin glanced at him.

Fang Xing snapped back to reality. "That's not it at all. Jade Capital City's splendor is said to be the greatest in all of Great Jing. I have always longed to see it."

Hong Miaojin smiled. "Jade Capital is certainly prosperous, but across the entire Southern Continent, it can only be considered average."

'??'

'The capital of a dynasty, a city a thousand years old, and it's just... average?'

Fang Xing didn't argue. He hadn't even seen all of Great Jing or Celestial South, let alone the entire Southern Continent. To date, he had only ever set foot in two provinces.

Still, Fang Xing was extremely curious about what kind of place could be more prosperous than Jade Capital City.

"Then it's settled. In three days, you will leave for Jade Capital with me."

Hong Miaojin said, looking at Fang Xing.

Fang Xing nodded.

'A chance to see Jade Capital and broaden my horizons would be excellent.'

The Great Jing Imperial City.

He had heard of it so many times!

Jade Capital City, renowned as the "Celestial White Jade Capital."

It was the gathering place of Dragon Qi and the center of power for the Great Jing.

"My Lady, is there something I need to do when we go to Jade Capital City?" Fang Xing asked.

Hong Miaojin smiled. "What, you don't think about anything besides official business?"

Fang Xing was speechless.

"I'm just worried I'll be a bother to you, my lady," Fang Xing replied.

Hong Miaojin looked at him and said, "You don't need to do anything. Just stick with me. And don't worry, I won't make you sleep on the streets."

Hearing her teasing remark, Fang Xing relaxed.

Jade Capital was not only the center of power, but also a place teeming with hidden masters.

The number of Martial Dao Masters there was unimaginable.

After chatting with Hong Miaojin for a while, Fang Xing left.

Leaving the Observatory, he returned to Qingfeng Villa.

Going to Jade Capital City was unexpected, but since Hong Miaojin had said so, he naturally wouldn't object.

It was also just before the new year, a time when the Demon Evil Cults tended to lie low.

During the new year festivities, most Demons and Ghosts would not cause trouble.

It had practically become an unspoken rule.

...

Back at the villa, inside his room, Fang Xing looked inward at his own body. The color of his Heart of Slaughter had deepened.

Ever since he completed his last mission and absorbed the high-quality Slaughter Qi, his Heart of Slaughter had improved considerably.

The stronger the Heart of Slaughter and the more Slaughter Qi it absorbed, the greater the power of the Life-taking Demon Saber.

Pulling his focus back, Fang Xing took out the Demon Essence.

Five hundred pieces of Demon Essence in total.

"Enhance!"

He was flush now, with nearly a million Enhancement Points remaining. This time, he wanted to see if he could shatter the limits of his Yin God in one fell swoop.

And forge a Primordial Spirit!

The transition from Yin God to Primordial Spirit was a qualitative transformation.

Normally, only those who had become Celestials could forge a Primordial Spirit.

The greatest change that came with achieving a Primordial Spirit was to the Divine Soul.

Even if completely detached from the Flesh Body, as long as the Primordial Spirit remained, one was effectively immortal.

It was equivalent to having a second life!

Beyond that, achieving a Primordial Spirit also granted some unexpected abilities.

The core among them was the "Heaven and Earth Rank"!

However, his Heaven and Earth Rank was different from that of the Celestial Human Realm; it could only be considered a Pseudo-Rank.

The Rank of the Celestial Human Realm was a sublimation of heaven and earth, allowing one to manipulate the Power of Heaven and Earth and command the Momentum of Heaven and Earth.

But even a Pseudo-Rank could be used to enhance one's Martial Arts.

It could draw upon the Momentum of Heaven and Earth for reinforcement. Even the most inferior Martial Arts could become earth-shattering with a mere trace of this momentum.

Moreover, by achieving a "Pseudo-Rank," his chances of breaking through to the Celestial Human Realm in the future would increase by twenty percent.

One should not underestimate that twenty percent chance.

With this twenty percent chance, the probability of "Ascension" became much greater.

Forget a twenty percent increase; even a one percent chance could be the deciding factor in "Ascending" to the Celestial realm.

'Five hundred thousand...'

Looking at the five hundred pieces of Divine Essence before him, Fang Xing felt an involuntary twitch in his heart.

'Easy come, even easier go!'

Calming himself, Fang Xing popped a piece of Divine Essence into his mouth, swallowed, and began to absorb its power.

In his Celestial Spirit Sea, his Yin God rapidly absorbed the power of the Divine Essence.

A faint Spirit Light shone from within, and a hazy radiance materialized around his body.

As he continuously swallowed the pieces of Divine Essence one after another, Fang Xing's Divine Soul grew stronger bit by bit.

A full day passed. All five hundred pieces of Divine Essence had been completely absorbed.

Within his Celestial Spirit Sea, Fang Xing's Divine Soul had grown to an astonishing degree.

'It's still not enough!'

'More!'

Fang Xing's eyes snapped open. He immediately spent another 300,000 Enhancement Points to create 300 more pieces and began to swallow them.

The radiance all around his body grew ever more intense.

Time passed, second by second, minute by minute.

Under the cold and starry night sky, all was silent.

After he swallowed the final piece of Divine Essence, cracks began to appear all over his Divine Soul in the Celestial Spirit Sea.

It seemed to have reached its absolute limit!

CRACK—!

The cracks spread until the Divine Soul shattered. But in that very instant of destruction, an even more terrifying Mental Power erupted forth.

In the space of a breath, the shattered Divine Soul abruptly reformed. The brilliant light of the Divine Soul illuminated the Celestial Court, like a great sun between heaven and earth, its radiance shining for all eternity!

The Primordial Spirit had formed!

Reborn from the ashes! The Primordial Spirit was reborn!
