Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 926: Martial Ancestor

Linjiang Defense Area, Cultivation Secret Room.

The bright glow illuminated the space ten meters underground to the slightest detail,

and it also shined upon Wang Chen.

The light came from the Moon Glowstones embedded in the walls. After meticulous polishing and prolonged exposure to sunlight, this milky-white mineral could emit light persistently and stably in the darkness, making it the preferred lighting tool for many rich families.

This underground secret room was established at the inception of Linjiang Defense Area, dedicated for the leaders of the Blood Cloak Guard to cultivate their techniques. The floor and walls were entirely paved with hard Blue Gang Stones, making it extremely difficult to destroy once the access was sealed.

Three days ago, Wang Chen had specifically applied to the General Flag, Pang Tai, for the use of this cultivation secret room.

It was for Breaking Threshold!

[Name: Wang Chen (Ling Zhiyuan)]

[Age: 16]

[Cultivation Level: Martial General]

[Cultivation Technique: Mysterious Sun Haven Seven Fiend Wheel (Swallowing Thief): 399/400]

[Skill: Technique of Qi Observation]

[Potential: 739]

[Fate: 10]

In the past three months, he had secluded himself for cultivation within the defense area, focusing solely on his training until he finally pushed the experience value of the fourth tier of Mysterious Sun Haven Seven Fiend Wheel to its limit yesterday.

For Wang Chen, there was nothing more important right now than enhancing his own strength.

Although there had been no movement from Hidden Dragon Hall since the assassination attempt at Spring Moon Tower, Pang Tai repeatedly reminded Wang Chen that the powerful assassin organization would not give up.

Once they took up a mission, they would attempt assassination three times.

The intervals between the first and second attempts could be long, often occurring suddenly when the target let down their guard.

Blood Cloak Guard had grossing examples of such situations.

The next attempt on Wang Chen’s life would certainly involve a master from Hidden Dragon Hall!

If they found an opportunity, even Linjiang Defense Area might not be able to protect Wang Chen.

And Wang Chen couldn’t possibly hide within the Defense Area forever; being able to quietly cultivate for three months was about the limit.

Taking a deep breath, Wang Chen closed his eyes and stimulated his potential.

The Life Qi hidden within his organs and limbs suddenly erupted, continuously surging towards his lower abdomen.

His navel area started to swell.

The fifth wheel of Mysterious Sun Haven Seven Fiend Wheel, named Non-Poison, was situated at the Dantian in the lower abdomen. Once the Fiend Wheel was condensed, Wang Chen would naturally step into the ranks of Martial Ancestors.

A fifth-tier Martial Ancestor, someone who first-rate martial artists of this world and qualified to establish their own sects!

Once he achieved the status of Martial Ancestor, Wang Chen would have the strength to fight and win against masters from Hidden Dragon Hall.

But, the difficulty of condensing Non-Poison far exceeded the previous four wheels.

Inside his Dantian, a whirlpool of Qi gradually took shape, its strong suction force acting like a never-satiated Gluttonous Beast, greedily devouring Wang Chen’s Life Qi.

Unless he successfully condensed the Non-Poison Fiend Wheel, this process could not be interrupted.

Interrupting forcefully would result in extreme consequences!

Thus, at this point, Wang Chen no longer had the possibility of turning back; as the accumulated Life Qi in his body was consumed, he unhesitatingly began to burn his potential.

[Potential -1],[Potential -1],[Potential -1]...

Lines of information flashed across Wang Chen’s vision, and the potential points he had accumulated over three months and a great deal of wealth were rapidly depleting.

Not only that, during this process, Wang Chen distinctly felt the impact of condensing the Non-Poison Fiend Wheel on his own body.

He was becoming weaker!

Wang Chen raised his hand and wiped his mouth, and instantly, a thick slice of ginseng appeared between his lips and teeth.

A robust medicinal strength burst forth in his mouth instantly.

The slice of ginseng Wang Chen had just chewed came from the most precious collection in the Ling Family Secret Vault.

A five-hundred-year-old ginseng!

This caliber of ginseng couldn’t be found on the market, usually preserved as a treasure by rich families or major organizations, only to be used in the most urgent situations.

A thin slice was enough to sustain a dying person’s life for three to five days!

For a martial artist, it was a genuine natural treasure, a rare medicine hard to come by.

After obtaining all the treasures of the Ling Family Secret Vault, Wang Chen had been reluctant to use the five-hundred-year-old ginseng.

But considering the difficulty and danger of this advancement, he had deliberately cut one-third of it.

He hadn’t expected it to come in handy so soon.

As the medicinal strength of the ginseng infused him, Wang Chen’s entire body felt warm, his nearly depleted Qi-Blood was instantly replenished, completely dispelling the adverse effects brought by the formation of the Non-Poison Fiend Wheel.

Now, Wang Chen could continue to focus on the Breaking Threshold.

Time ticked away, and his potential dropped below two hundred points.

The Dantian Qi whirl, having absorbed a massive amount of Life Qi, had now solidified into the shape of a crescent moon!

At the same time, the Corpse Dog, Obscure Tortoise, Sparrow Shadow, and Swallowing Thief wheels appeared simultaneously at Wang Chen’s crown, brow, throat, and heart, resonating intensely with the forming Non-Poison Fiend Wheel.

A surge of invisible Evil Qi burst forth from his body!

Crack!

A slender crack suddenly appeared on the Blue Gang stone slab on the right wall.

[Potential -10], [Potential -10], [Potential -10]…

The consumption of potential suddenly increased tenfold!

"Ha!"

Wang Chen abruptly opened his eyes and chanted "true words," pressing down the Qi in his Dantian, and the Non-Poison Fiend Wheel instantly solidified!

[Potential -10]

He suddenly rose to his full height, his body swelling rapidly like a balloon, his clothes silently turning into dust.

And in the enclosed chamber, a fierce storm suddenly erupted, causing the walls and floorboards to creak unbearably.

Several Blue Gang stone slabs showed signs of cracking.

Fortunately, this situation lasted only for a moment, and before the cultivation chamber could be destroyed, Wang Chen forcibly retracted his Qi Energy. The radiant light in his eyes instantly faded.

Success!

[Name: Wang Chen (Ling Zhiyuan)]

[Age: 16]

[Cultivation Level: Martial Ancestor]

[Cultivation Technique: Mysterious Sun Haven Seven Fiend Wheel (Non-Poison): 0/500]

[Skills: Technique of Qi Observation]

[Potential: 58]

[Fate: 15]

He had successfully solidified the Non-Poison Fiend Wheel, officially entering the fifth tier of the Martial Ancestor Realm.

For this, Wang Chen had used nearly five hundred potential points, as well as nearly half of the five-hundred-year-old ginseng.

But it was completely worth it!

He felt an unprecedented strength.

Most importantly, with the solidification of the Non-Poison Fiend Wheel, Wang Chen had also opened up the Dantian space, with connected acupoints and meridians accounting for the majority of his body.

The amount of Life Qi his body could now hold had increased by at least ten times!

The gap between the fifth tier Martial Ancestor and the fourth tier Martial General far exceeded the total of the previous four tiers!

In this world, Martial Ancestors were known as "adversaries against tens of thousands," and it was hard to be defeated by sheer numbers.

At this point, Wang Chen truly possessed the foundation to stand firm in this world.

He then took another three days to consolidate his realm, and only after using up the remaining slices of ginseng did he exit his retreat.
