When advancing from the Heaven Dipper Realm to the Heavenly Body Realm, one needed to transform the vital essence in the Qi Sea into a Star Tower.
After the Star Tower was condensed, one was considered to have stepped into the Heavenly Body Realm.
The reason why one had to take three steps was that it was extremely difficult to condense a Star Tower with nine strands of vital essence.
Condensing a Star Tower with one strand of vital essence was not only easy, but also very powerful.
Therefore, after reaching the ninth level of the Heaven Dipper Realm, what the martial artist had to do was to gradually merge the nine strands of vital essence into one.
This was the most difficult part.
Since ancient times, countless martial artists were unable to take these three steps.
"Three steps."
Fang Chen's heart was in turmoil.
He did not expect that there were such important three steps after the ninth level of the Heaven Dipper Realm.
"Which step is the strongest Heaven Dipper Realm martial artist in my Black Sky Sect?" Fang Chen asked hurriedly.
"The third step," the vice sect leader said.
Fang Chen's face was full of shock. Taking the third step meant that he could step into the Heavenly Body Realm at any time.
In fact, he was already half a step into the Heavenly Body Realm.
"The path of martial arts is indeed extremely difficult." Fang Chen sighed in his heart.
He originally thought that he should have a good chance of rushing into the top ten in this Hunting War.
However, now it seemed that if he did not improve his cultivation, he would not be able to rush into the top ten before the Hunting War.
"It seems that my strength is still too weak," Fang Chen thought to himself.
Seeing Fang Chen's expression, he knew what Fang Chen was thinking.
"You don't have to belittle yourself. With your potential, it's very easy to take these three steps," the vice sect leader comforted.
After chatting with the vice sect leader for a long time, Fang Chen took his leave.
After returning, Fang Chen immediately went into seclusion.
If he could not step into the fifth level of the Heaven Dipper Realm, he would not come out.
Time passed bit by bit.
In the blink of an eye, Fang Chen had been in seclusion for more than a month.
During this time, some of the Golden Armor Commanders of the Golden Sky Palace were looking for Sanguinati.
Of course, the reason was very simple.
That was, Jin Tianzhan had successfully broken through to Heaven Dipper Realm level 9.
With Jin Tianzhan's potential, once he stepped into Heaven Dipper Realm Level 9, his combat power would be close to the peak of Heaven Dipper Realm. He would even be qualified to fight against the first step powerhouse.
The first thing Jin Tianzhan did after returning was to find Sanguinati.
He issued a challenge to Sanguinati.
This matter spread like wildfire in the Mystic Sky Sect.
Bi Qingqing and the others didn't show up either.
He seemed to be allowing this matter to fester.
As for the person in question, Fang Chen, he hadn't come out of seclusion and couldn't accept Jin Tianzhan's challenge.
As a result, there were some rumors in the Golden Sky Palace.
"Sanguinati is a coward. He doesn't dare to accept Jin Tianzhan's challenge."
"Is he hiding in fear?"
"Hahaha, how could such a martial artist be qualified to become a Golden Armor Commander? What an embarrassment to the Black Heaven Sect."
The golden-armored commander in the Golden Sky Palace was extremely arrogant.
Of course, everything they did was to befriend Jin Tianzhan.
Jin Tianzhan's strength wasn't the strongest among the golden-armored commanders.
However, the Heavenly Body Tier elder behind him had a very high status in the Mystic Sky Sect.
This elder thought very highly of his disciple, Jin Tianzhan.
One could imagine that Jin Tianzhan's future was bright.
In the Golden Sky Palace, Jin Tianzhan was in high spirits.
Wearing golden clothes, he stood on the square. Wherever he passed, countless martial artists greeted him.
Their eyes were filled with awe and veneration.
Even the palace master and vice palace master of the Golden Sky Palace were extremely satisfied with Jin Tianzhan.
"Sanguinati hasn't come out of seclusion yet?" Jin Tianzhan asked.
His words were filled with disdain for the world. It was very intimidating.
Hearing this, the lackey at the side said with a smile, "Boss, I think that Sanguinati has heard of your reputation and doesn't dare to come out. Seclusion is definitely an excuse."
Hearing this, Jin Tianzhan frowned slightly and immediately said, "Keep an eye on him. As long as Sanguinati comes out of seclusion, inform me immediately."
Losing to Sanguinati in the Battle of Junior Commanders.
This was the shame of Jin Tianzhan's life.
He originally wanted to use the honor of a Junior Commander King to repay his master's kindness.
However, all his plans were disrupted by Sanguinati, and even gave him an incomparable humiliation.
Jin Tianzhan's heart was filled with hatred for Sanguinati.
Under the guidance of his master, he had been cultivating like crazy just for this day.
"Sanguinati, the day you come out of seclusion is the day I wash away my humiliation," Jin Tianzhan said heroically.
The second month after Jin Tianzhan issued a challenge to Sanguinati.
There was finally a trace of movement in Fang Chen's seclusion place.
Inside the room, Fang Chen's body was filled with rich energy.
In his qi sea, four streams of energy revolved rapidly, and the vast energy tossed and turned.
And in Fang Chen's mind, he was also comprehending the nature of heaven and earth.
"Heaven Dipper Realm, absorb the energy of heaven and earth for one's own use."
Fang Chen muttered to himself.
From Heaven Dipper Realm Level One to Heaven Dipper Realm Level Four, he swallowed the Gang-gathering Pill.
Swallowing the Gang-gathering Pill had some side effects, but it wasn't considered big.
However, it wasn't until Fang Chen broke through to Heaven Dipper Realm Level Five that he knew.
In his qi sea, there were still remnants of the Gang-gathering Pill's medicinal effects.
These medicinal effects were the obstacles that prevented Fang Chen from stepping into Heaven Dipper Realm Level Five.
"Completely refine."
Fang Chen thought to himself.
After making a decision, Fang Chen activated the golden heart.
Dong!
The golden heart beat rapidly, and the Undying Bird's blood essence that merged into the golden heart was instantly released.
The wild Undying Flame's aura instantly merged into the black flame.
Suddenly, the temperature of the black flame rose to the extreme.
In the next moment, the black flame spread to every corner of his body.
Hiss! Hiss!
The black flame was burning the Gang-gathering Pill's medicinal effects in his limbs and bones.
In the blink of an eye, the black flame had completely refined the remaining medicinal effects.
At this moment, Fang Chen controlled the black flame and entered his qi sea.
Buzz.
In his qi sea, there was a large amount of Vital Essence guarding it.
Sensing that an external object had entered, the four Vital Essences led by terrifying Vital Essence instantly roared.
"Not good."
Fang Chen shouted in his heart and tried to control the four Vital Essences.
However, at this moment, a miracle happened.
Dong.
The golden heart let out a deafening vibration.
This vibration caused Fang Chen's soul to tremble as well.
"It hurts."
While his soul was in pain, the four Vital Essences in his qi sea were also shocked.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the black flame spread in and refined the remaining medicinal effects.
In a flash, the black flame retreated.
The golden heart also calmed down.
The soul in his mind stopped trembling.
"That vibration."
Fang Chen recalled the vibration in his mind.
The vibration of the golden heart was like the sound of the Great Dao, which made Fang Chen feel enlightened.
"Hahaha."
With the final obstacle removed, the fifth strand of Righteous Origin naturally formed.
Crash.
In his qi sea, a large amount of Vital Essence merged into the fifth Vital Essence like a tide.
In the blink of an eye, the fifth Vital Essence was completely consolidated.
He finally reached the fifth level of the Heaven Star Border Realm.
"Phew."
Fang Chen breathed a sigh of relief. He finally reached the fifth level of the Heaven Star Border Realm.
"With my current strength, it shouldn't be a problem to deal with someone at the peak of the ninth level of the Heaven Star Border Realm."
After thinking for a moment, he said, "However, I have no chance of winning against a martial artist at the first step."
Restraining his aura, Fang Chen stood up.
His face was full of smiles. After more than two months, he finally stepped into the fifth level of the Heaven Star Border Realm.
"The Hunting War seems to be coming soon."
Fang Chen muttered to himself as he opened the door and looked up at the blue sky with his deep eyes.
The Hunting War was the real stage.
Only by fighting with the strong could one better stimulate one's fighting spirit.
Fang Chen clenched his fists tightly. He was looking forward to the Hunting War.
The Primordial Sword Lord.
However, at this moment, Xi Qing rushed in.
"Brother Xi Qing." Fang Chen saw the displeasure on Xi Qing's face and hurriedly greeted him.
"Brother Xue, you finally came out of seclusion," Xi Qing said hurriedly.
"What happened?" Fang Chen asked.
"Jin Tianzhan came out while you were in seclusion. The moment he came out, he issued a challenge to you," Xi Qing said.
"You were in seclusion and didn't accept the challenge. Recently, there was news that you were afraid of Jin Tianzhan."
"During this period, many martial artists in the Heavenly Profound Sect were watching.
I'm afraid many people thought that you were really afraid of Jin Tianzhan and used seclusion as an excuse. "
