Ji Tianxing stayed in the ancient divine formation for three hours.
In the newly opened blank area, a large number of formations appeared on the ground, and he carefully observed and studied them.
He kept those formation patterns in mind and left them to figure it out later, which would definitely come in handy.
After leaving the Sword God's Tomb, his soul returned to its true form.
Then, he began to practice with concentration and strive to reach the Martial Saint Realm.
Before overcoming the tribulation, his strength had already reached the limit of overcoming the tribulation.
After successfully overcoming the tribulation, he became a genuine half-step martial saint, and his real strength was comparable to that of a martial saint.
Moreover, he received a heavenly reward, was baptized by divine power, and was only one step away from the Martial Saint Realm.
He believed that as long as he practiced in seclusion for a few more days, he would achieve a breakthrough naturally.
…
Five days flew by.
Ji Tianxing spent a lot of elixirs and spiritual stones to increase his strength as quickly as possible.
Five days later, his strength reached the Great Perfection of Tribulation-Transcending Realm and reached its limit.
He has clearly sensed the bottleneck of the Martial Saint Realm!
As long as you break through that bottleneck, you can become a Martial Saint.
Therefore, he continued to practice with great expectations, hoping to achieve a breakthrough in one go.
Three days later, he tried to break through the bottleneck, but failed.
Unwilling to give up, he practiced for two more days and hit the bottleneck again, but still failed.
He calmed down and practiced breath adjustment for another five days, reaching the peak of his condition.
He started to attack the bottleneck for the third time, but still failed!
For half a month, he tried three times without success, which made him quite depressed.
However, he knew that he should not be impatient about this matter, so he calmed down and thought about countermeasures.
"It is a huge hurdle to go from the Tribulation Realm to the Martial Saint Realm.
The gap between the two realms is like the difference between clouds and mud.
Throughout the ages, countless strong men have been stuck at this level, unable to break through.
Even when I broke through to the Martial Saint, I finally broke through after nine attempts in a fierce battle of life and death..."
Thinking of this, Ji Tianxing had an idea and thought silently: "Even if I live another life and have the cultivation experience in my previous life, I won't be able to achieve it overnight.
It is still not easy to break through to the Martial Saint Realm, and you need a certain opportunity.
I have to accumulate strength and seek breakthroughs in fierce battles.
Or, think of other ways and use external forces."
So he ended his practice, got up and left the secret room.
He was planning to leave Luoshen Mountain and return to Tianzhu Mountain.
With the help of the power of the Sky Formation and the Star Divine Furnace, he can break through to the Martial Saint Realm faster.
However, just as he was thinking about it, Black Eagle came up to him and saluted respectfully: "Sir, you are finally out of seclusion.
Grandma Long came here twice before and said she had important matters to discuss.
Knowing that you are practicing in seclusion, Granny Long left a message asking you to meet her after you come out of seclusion."
Hearing what Black Eagle said, Ji Tianxing raised his eyebrows and thought to himself: "Mr. Long is looking for me, probably because of the northern battlefield."
He waved his hand to ward off the black eagle, stepped out of Yunshui Palace, and rushed to the palace where Granny Long lived.
In a simple and elegant study room, he saw Granny Long who was busy.
Granny Long sat in front of the desk and carefully read through the pile of memorials, documents and summons slips in front of her.
Her expression was focused and solemn, as if she had forgotten the passage of time.
Ji Tianxing walked to the table, bowed his hands and said, "Grandma Long, are you looking for me?"
Grandma Long was awakened by him, and then she put down the documents in her hand, showed him a kind smile, nodded and said: "Tian Xing, have you finished your retreat?
You successfully passed through the heavenly tribulation before and reached the ninth level of the tribulation realm, and now you have consolidated the martial arts realm, you must be not far from the Martial Saint, right?"
Ji Tianxing didn't say much, just nodded.
Granny Long said with a smile: "With your talent and qualifications, I believe you will be able to break through to the Martial Saint level soon. By then, you will definitely shock the world. I am here to congratulate you in advance!"
Ji Tianxing chuckled and shook his head, saying: "Grandma Long, it's still early, so let's not mention it for now.
Didn't you come to me to discuss something important? What exactly is it?"
Granny Long smiled and said: "I have good news for you! More than twenty days ago, the Lord God sent a soul clone to break into the demon clan's lair in Beiming Mountain...
After that battle, the demon clan's vitality was severely damaged, the bodies of the two demon saints were destroyed, and countless elite masters were lost.
Now the news has spread throughout the Shenwu Continent, shocking all countries.
On the battlefield in the north, the morale of the demon army has declined, and the offensive has shown signs of decline.
On the contrary, the soldiers of the Kingdom of God, their morale was greatly boosted after hearing the news, and they are launching a counterattack.
Tianxing, now is the best time for you to go to the northern battlefield and participate in the great war!"
Ji Tianxing understood what she meant and thought to himself: "The most important thing for me now is to break through to the Martial Saint Realm.
There are only two choices before me.
Either go back to Tianzhu Mountain and use the power of the Sky Formation and the Star Divine Furnace to break through the bottleneck.
Either go to the northern battlefield, fight with the demons, and seek a breakthrough in the battle."
After thinking about it, he bowed to Grandma Long and said in a solemn tone: "Grandma Long, please don't worry. I will rush to the northern battlefield tomorrow and join the war as soon as possible!"
Seeing that he agreed, Granny Long showed a pleased smile, nodded and said: "You are the great disciple of Luoshen Mountain, the number one genius in the mainland, and a half-step Martial Saint.
Your identity is quite special, and your strength, methods and strategies are also very outstanding. You will definitely shine on the battlefield.
I have already made arrangements for you. After arriving in the northern border, you will go to Tianshi Pass in the Baishuang Empire and report to Lu Baishuang.
You must stay with Lu Baishuang and serve as her deputy commander, commanding millions of soldiers."
Hearing this, Ji Tianxing raised his eyebrows and asked in confusion: "Lu Baishuang? Who is she?"
Granny Long explained with a smile: "She is the Holy Emperor of the Baishuang Empire and one of the five commanders in the northern battlefield.
The northern frontline is long, hundreds of millions of miles long, and can only be guarded by five major commanders.
On that nearly 100 million-mile defense line, there are more than a dozen most important checkpoints.
The loss of any level may lead to the fall of an empire.
Tianshi Pass is one of them. It is the northern gate of Baishuang Empire and must not be lost.
Lu Baishuang has three million troops under his command, and they have been guarding the defense line near Tianshi Pass. It can be said that they have fought bloody battles and achieved great results through hard work.
After you go, you must assist her with all your strength, try your best to defend the level, and strive to repel the demon army as soon as possible."
After speaking, Grandma Long took out a space ring and handed it to Ji Tianxing.
"You don't need to pack your bags, I've already prepared them for you.
There are 30 million worth of cultivation resources here, including elixirs, magic weapons, spells and other resources. I have prepared them all.
In addition, your identity token and the letter you exchanged with Lu Baishuang are also in the ring.
As for Lu Baishuang, I will summon her immediately..."
