Opened eyes.

Everywhere around was a sea of fire.

On the left was the entrance of an ancient temple, where Qiao Pifu turned into a human torch.

On the right was the burning temple and a bronze giant cauldron filled with charred Immortal Statue.

In the illuminated sky, a faint chain connected to the sky, with cracks appearing as it made a soft clicking sound.

"The fourth chain is starting to crack, but it’s not completely broken yet. It seems like it will take some time," said someone.

The eight hundred years of Long Life Dream was actually expected by Qiao Mu.

What caught him off guard was the cracking of the illusory chain in the sky.

Qiao Mu’s heart stirred, and the Ouroboros Long Life Lock in his mind floated and sank, with only two chains left gently swaying.

"After this chain completely breaks, there will only be one chain left."

When the third chain of the Long Life Lock breaks, the revival time is multiplied by ten.

As for the fourth and fifth chains, who knows how much longer the revival time will be extended to…

Qiao Mu put this thought aside temporarily, not thinking about it too much, and suddenly had a copy of the "Blood Origin Skill" in his hand.

"Luckily Xue Changhe just gave me a secret manual, otherwise, how would I have passed the long eight hundred years, not knowing how to pass the time?"

Qiao Mu flipped through the secret manual in his hand and began to study it.

The most essential of Xue family’s inherited secret techniques are two kinds: the "Blood Origin Skill" which addresses the issue of a small dantian and strengthens the physical body with internal strength, and the "Blood River Topping Skill" for passing on skills.

The latter is a secret technique from the Long Life Gate, tailored for members of the Xue family only, and only they can practice it…

As for the former, although it is the wisdom of generation after generation of Xue family ancestors, it has never been passed on to outsiders, and no outsider has ever succeeded in practicing it.

"It doesn’t matter, I will take action."

This special martial art technique fascinated Qiao Mu, and he immediately started practicing it!

Three days later.

While Qiao Mu was meditating with his eyes closed, his veins bulged on his arms, his blood vessels twisted like worms, and then blood mist suddenly burst out of every pore in his body, bleeding profusely.

"It’s risky to use blood to contain my overwhelming True strength without careful consideration, it’s like walking a tightrope, one wrong step could be deadly."

"The Xue family’s martial arts focus on internal strength. But my internal strength has transformed into True strength, it’s different…"

Qiao Mu shook his head, things were turning out as he expected.

"It must be a problem with the Xue family members’ physique. No wonder the Xue family has been the only one in the martial arts world of Jiu Province for over a thousand years."

If the Xue family members were carefully bred test subjects of the Long Life Gate cult, then Qiao Mu was a wild rodent king that grew on its own.

Even among rodents, there are differences, and not all techniques may be compatible.

The Xue family members might be something mysterious and unusual, like a duck wearing a mouse’s skin. Their martial arts skills are only suitable for themselves, making them seem normal to outsiders.

"The martial arts techniques may not be suitable for someone like me, a normal martial artist, but the principles of the ‘Blood Origin Skill’ are understandable."

Qiao Mu closed the ‘Blood Origin Skill’ manual in his hands and, with a thought, the image of Xue Changhe sitting on the ground appeared beside him.

Before the arrival of the Elder from the Immortal Gate, Qiao Mu and Xue Changhe had been discussing martial arts, delving into the principles behind the ‘Blood Origin Skill’.

"I understand the principles."

"One cannot directly practice the ‘Blood Origin Skill’, but after studying the Xue family’s martial arts accumulated over a thousand years, I spent eight hundred years creating a blood cultivation method suitable for regular martial artists, based on this ‘Blood Origin Skill’ manual. Isn’t it reasonable?"

Xue Changhe actually meant the same thing.

When he passed on the techniques to Qiao Mu, he mentioned that outsiders should not practice the Blood River Topping Skill, but the ‘Blood Origin Skill’ might be an exception.

Practice makes perfect.

Qiao Mu is not a talented martial artist who can create miraculous skills from scratch.

However, his foundation in martial arts is so strong that perhaps in the entire Jiu Province, there is no one who can compare to him.

With 1600 years of accumulation and a vast collection of martial arts books for reference, along with refining and deducing existing techniques, he is more than capable of being a second-generation martial arts master.

"Begin training!"

In the dream world, Qiao Mu practices martial arts like usual, sometimes meditating cross-legged, sometimes writing fervently on paper, sometimes pushing his body to its limits until it breaks…

Regular martial artists usually develop new techniques or refine old ones gradually.

But Qiao Mu is different; he takes a leap of faith.

In the long river of martial arts, every step forward for Qiao Mu is built on the foundation of his own sacrifices.

……………………………

Eight hundred years is too long.

In addition to practicing martial arts techniques daily, sometimes Qiao Mu also reviews the battle where he died.

"The physical body of a martial artist is not strong enough to face immortal techniques," Qiao Mu shook his head.

In traditional martial arts, the training used to enhance resistance to strikes is called hard training.

However, this kind of hard training is commonly used to block punches and kicks, and in more advanced cases, to block swords.

As for resisting immortal techniques, withstanding thunder strikes and fire burns? It’s definitely beyond the level.

"The hard training in Jiu Province is as outdated as forbidden techniques," Qiao Mu sighed.

For example, even if he has mastered the Iron Crotch Skill unlike anyone else, being able to penetrate through marble, wanting to use martial arts to counter immortal techniques is indeed insufficient.

"It’s not easy to withstand so firmly, or perhaps we can change our approach and start with enduring injuries without dying first…"

Can 1600 years of True strength withstand 2400 years of True strength?

If not enough…with a thought, Qiao Mu created another Wu Qizheng in his imaginary world next to Xue Changhe.

Wu Qizheng is the creator of the "Shape Changing Skill" and a natural healer, focusing on manipulating the body to heal injuries.

"Using True strength for defense, practicing hard techniques for self-protection, and using the Shape Changing Skill for self-healing…regularly practicing the ‘Human Path Sutra,’ ‘Heavenly Demon Forging Body technique,’ ‘Bloodthirsty Forging Skill,’ and ‘Blood Origin Skill’ to strengthen the body…"

After reviewing his dream, Qiao Mu decided on the path for his martial arts progress over 800 years.

……………….

A dream of two hundred years.

Qiao Mu’s Blood Origin Skill began to develop, with vast True strength circulating throughout his body with every breath.

His True strength was so powerful that even the thousand-year-old Xue family’s accumulation could not compare. Achieving this level was like carving flowers on tofu with a dragon-slaying knife.

So it took a whole two hundred years to create the "Blood Origin Skill" and to tweak the Xue family’s Blood Origin Skill just a tiny bit.

During those two hundred years, his true strength cause countless internal bleeding, but in his dreams he was a prisoner of the Long Life Lock, able to heal instantly with just a breath.

But that wasn’t enough.

"Just ‘accommodating’ this step only solves the Xue family members’ small dantian problem, no use for me."

"To merge true strength into the marrow… no, to infuse true strength into the marrow, that is the essence of the ‘Blood Origin Skill.’"

This step alone took hundreds of years.

In his dream, four hundred years passed, making Qiao Mu 2044 years old.

By following the steps of the "Human Path Sutra," Qiao Mu broke through to the tenth level he envisioned.

With each breakthrough, his physical strength and energy skyrocketed… but to Qiao Mu’s surprise, according to the Long Life Lock’s information, his energy and blood levels were still stuck at "99%", not reaching 100% despite the breakthrough in the Human Path Sutra.

"Has my body’s energy and blood truly improved a lot? Does it mean my energy and blood haven’t reached 100% yet, indicating incompleteness?"

Qiao Mu didn’t pay much attention to the percentage numbers in the energy and blood column, finding it amusing. The progress of his body’s energy and blood was real, and he knew it in his heart, which was enough for him.

….

After seven hundred years in the dream, "Blood Origin Skill" advanced further, embedding true strength.

Seven hundred and eighty years.

"I have burnt out completely…"

Qiao Mu lay down in a big ‘字’ shape on the ground, with the roaring flames of Heyang City’s Taoist temple beside him. His unkempt beard fluttered, giving a somewhat untidy appearance.

Eight hundred years is still too long, even though he kept multitasking, practicing martial arts, exploring "Blood Origin Skill," occasionally reminiscing in his dreams, reviewing previous battlefields… One hundred repetitions of each task would be done within eight hundred years.

Therefore, after reaching the level of "True strength embedding" in "Blood Origin Skill," even though there were still decades of practice time available, he decided to take a break, not dedicating all his time to rigorous training.

People’s willpower and self-control are like muscles, they get stronger through practice.

But no matter how much you exercise, muscles also have a limit, you can’t suddenly improve just through willpower.

For Qiao Mu, who is over two thousand years old.

The Long Life Dream lasting seven to eight hundred years can occupy one-third of his life’s length, which is already the extreme he can endure.

When Qiao Mu had a thought, his mind sank into the Long Life Lock.

This Death Assessment: SS (..)

Energy and Blood: 99%

Skills: A little bit

Blood Origin Skill (True strength in the bones), Human Path Sutra (half, tenth level), Shape Changing Skill (perfect)…

The other martial arts all made progress, but the most important breakthrough in the past seven or eight hundred years was these three.

But after achieving these three small goals, Qiao Mu’s willpower reached its limit. For the remaining twenty years, he just wanted to waste away quietly in his dreams.

Just at this moment.

Lying silently on the ground, Qiao Mu suddenly felt something, he lifted his head and looked up at the sky above the clouds, at the faintly visible illusionary chains.

In the seven or eight hundred years of Long Life Dream.

The chains of the Long Life Lock had been continuously cracking, with more and more visible cracks to the naked eye.

And at this moment, the clear sound of shattering echoed in the sky and in Qiao Mu’s heart.

In the sea of his heart, the fourth chain of the Long Life Lock completely broke.

Up to this point, under the Long Life Lock in his heart, there was only one last chain swaying gently.

Qiao Mu, who had been lying on the ground for a long time, suddenly felt a little empty inside.

"Each time he resurrected, the amount of dream time needed increased…"

When the third chain broke, the resurrection time in the dream became 10 times longer.

Now, as the fourth chain broke… when Qiao Mu’s mind sank into the Long Life Lock, a piece of information naturally emerged in his heart.

This made him tremble, and he instinctively sat up from the ground, feeling a tingling sensation on his scalp.

"After the fourth chain broke, the resurrection time in the dream jumped from 10 times to… 100 times."

This number meant that with each death, the time spent imprisoned in the dream could approach his current limit of seven to eight hundred years.

If Qiao Mu were to obtain another S-level Death Assessment next time, he would spend at least three thousand years in the Long Life Dream.

"This Long Life Lock…" Qiao Mu looked into his heart, his face darkening as he noticed the last chain gently swaying under the Long Life Lock.

If all five chains were to break, how many years would he be sentenced to…

………………………………………………..

Eight hundred years in a dream, only a moment on Earth.

Watching Qiao Pianxin’s body burn to ashes in the fire, Elder Tianxing’s remains burning in the incense-filled giant cauldron.

Only an inexplicable fear remained on the faces of Elder Sun and others.

"Elder Tianxing, how did he die?"

Elder Tianxing was well-known among the Nine Immortal Gates, who would have thought he would die so easily?

They were silent at first.

After a long silence, a black-robed elder finally broke the silence:

"Elder Sun thought carefully, and when Elder Tianxing was about to come alone to kill this person, he stopped him in time and we five people hurried here together."

Not talking about it was better, but when it was mentioned, Elder Sun and the others felt a mysterious fear in their hearts.

Elder Sun was thinking before that behind Qiao Pianxin, perhaps Yunxiao Sect Leader was playing tricks. They imagined the enemy was Nine Immortal Gates on par with them, so they hurried here together.

Unexpectedly, even so, Elder Tianxing still died right before their eyes.

If Qiao Pianxin had chosen to attack them instead of Elder Tianxing, how would they have dealt with it?

Silence. The elders fell silent once again.

Only the leader Elder Jiuyang seemed calm. He cleared his throat and said, "Stay calm."

"Be patient and don’t panic."

"The main villain has been defeated, this matter is over, talking about these guesses is pointless."

"This matter ends here, Junior Brother Sun made timely preparations and has already contributed."

With Grand Elder speaking, the atmosphere naturally relaxed slightly.

"What Senior Brother Jiuyang said is absolutely correct."

"Indeed, it was Junior Brother Sun’s timely preparations…."

"There’s no time to waste, let’s tidy up Senior Brother Tianxing’s remains and return to the sect as soon as possible."

Originally, the elders were thinking about demonstrating their authority in front of the city’s residents and rebuilding the faith in the Xuantian Sect immortal, but now they only wanted to return to the sect as soon as possible.

Just at this moment.

Inside the temple that had already been turned into ruins below, another figure appeared silently.

"Five against one, you must be feeling good about yourself, huh?"

Qiao Mu took a deep breath, looked up at the sky, and shouted loudly:

"Old thief, dare to bully my Qiao family when no one is around?!"
