Hua Zhenbei continued, “Although our Hua family ancestors were all outstanding, none could compare to me. My talent and aptitude were the highest. Many years ago, I had already mastered the ‘Red Sun Illuminates the World’ technique and reached the Heavenly Realm. Looking across the world, there are few who can fight me to a draw! It’s just that I’ve always been relatively low-key, otherwise, there would be more than just four Grandmasters in the world. I have been accumulating strength, wanting to fulfill my ancestors’ long-cherished wish, overthrow the Qian Dynasty, and let my Hua family enter the imperial palace and go down in history! It’s just a pity that I failed at the last moment…”

Qi Fei was shocked. He hadn’t expected Hua Zhenbei’s plan to be so grand. This man’s ambition was truly immense. It was just a pity that his strength was insufficient. Before he could even gain momentum, his plan had already been destroyed by Gan Huang. This also showed that Gan Huang’s power was in no way inferior to his own.

Hua Zhenbei said, “If you count the peerless masters in the martial arts world today, there are only a few: Kongming Zen Master’s palm, Xuantian Daoist’s fist, Bai Xifeng’s sword, Ye Hongyi’s knife, Feng Liyao’s foot, Wang Tianlong’s spear, and my halberd… They can be said to be invincible in this world!”

As Qi Fei listened to him pontificating, a thought struck him. He listened carefully, realizing that the words of someone of his caliber were extremely valuable!

“I know very well that to kill Wang Tianlong, I must possess absolute power. Therefore, I have been trying to break through to the Shattered Realm to further improve my martial arts. Unfortunately, I have been unable to break through! Until many years ago, I learned something from Feng Liyao. The Empress of Kun Kingdom died from a qi deviation after failing to break through. The reason was the imbalance of yin and yang energies in her body. Suddenly I understood! To break through to the Shattered Realm, one must have both yin and yang energies in one’s body at the same time, because yin cannot exist alone, and yang cannot grow alone! And these two energies must be balanced… Therefore, I thought of a path to cultivate to the Shattered Realm!”

At this moment, several acupoints in Qi Fei’s body had been opened, and he became more and more shocked as he listened to Hua Zhenbei’s words.

Hua Zhenbei’s voice continued: “The ‘Red Sun Illuminates the World’ technique I cultivate is an extremely Yang divine skill, while Feng Liyao’s ‘Bright Moon Flying Phoenix’ technique is an extremely Yin divine skill. If the two of us cultivate together, we will surely be able to break through to the Shattered Realm at the same time. At that time, no one in the world will be our match. After I made this suggestion, Feng Liyao naturally disagreed. In fact, because of an incident that happened back then, I am unable to cultivate with a woman at all. Alas! However…”

He continued, “Even if we don’t practice dual cultivation, there’s another way. Feng Liyao and I can exchange our martial arts, merging the ‘Red Sun Illuminates the World’ technique with the ‘Bright Moon Flying Phoenix’ divine skill to create a brand new divine skill. I’ll name this skill ‘Sun and Moon Divine Skill,’ which possesses both extreme yang and yin. Once successful, it will allow us to break through to the Shattered Realm and become invincible! Neither the bald monk’s ‘Compassionate Voyage True Scripture’ nor the Taoist priest’s ‘Wuwei Dao Scroll’ will be able to compare!”

“For this reason, I also created a Yin-Yang Divine Skill for Yao Ye to cultivate. After he mastered it, his martial arts improved greatly, and he was hard to beat below the Heavenly Realm! However, when I made this request, Feng Liyao did not believe me and refused to exchange the skills no matter what. It was really disappointing!”

Qi Fei thought to himself, “How could my mother possibly cultivate with an old man like you? It’s like a toad trying to eat swan meat…”

Hua Zhenbei’s voice continued: “Since I had no hope of reaching the Shattered Realm in this lifetime, I decided to take a gamble and set up a plan in the capital. Who would have thought that Wang Tianlong would still discover it… That bastard actually pulled the rug out from under me, looting all the treasures that my Fengyun Escort Agency had hidden in the Yin Yang Sect, and recruiting a large number of experts… Alas!”

He sighed deeply and said, “At this point, there’s no point in saying anything more! I never expected you to be arrested. I know you risked your life to come to the palace to save me, all for the purpose of getting me to teach you the ‘Red Sun Shines Over the World’ technique. Fine… In order to prevent this divine skill from being lost, even if you are not of the Hua family bloodline, I have no choice but to pass this divine skill on to you.”

Qi Fei thought to himself, “What’s the use of you imparting divine skills if everyone’s been arrested…”

“The mantra of the Great Law ‘The Red Sun Illuminates the World’ consists of only a few hundred words. Although it is short, every word is precious. You must listen carefully… In the beginning, Yin and Yang were separated, the red sun shone brightly, when the golden crow rose in the east, the supreme Yang shook the eight directions…”

After reciting the incantation, Hua Zhenbei explained the meaning of each line in detail, then said, “Have you memorized them all? Do you understand them? Oh, I forgot your acupoints were sealed…”

At this moment, Qi Fei was immersed in shock. He had naturally memorized and understood the divine skill “Red Sun Shines Over the World”. However, what shocked him was that this divine skill was similar to “Bright Moon Flying Phoenix”, or rather, exactly the opposite. The two were yin and yang, yet they complemented each other, as if they were perfectly blended, each addressing the other’s shortcomings to achieve a flawless perfection!

Hua Zhenbei continued, “A person can only cultivate one internal energy cultivation method at a time. If you cultivate two methods at the same time, the stronger method will devour the weaker one. You have already reached the Innate Realm and have a good foundation. You only need to diligently cultivate ‘Red Sun Shines Over the World’ day and night, and you will soon be able to convert all the true energy from the ‘Righteous Qi Technique’ that you have cultivated before. Once you have mastered it, there will be few people below the Heavenly Rank who will be your match!”

At this moment, Qi Fei was already attacking the last acupoint in his body. He quickly finished, and felt a sense of relaxation throughout his body, as if he had completely regained his freedom.

However, he did not make much noise. He simply sat cross-legged on the ground and began to focus on cultivating the “Red Sun Illuminates the World” technique as Hua Zhenbei had instructed. He wanted to know whether this divine skill, combined with “Bright Moon Flying Phoenix,” could truly lead to the peerless skill “Sun and Moon Divine Skill” that Hua Zhenbei had described!

Soon, the true energy within Qi Fei’s body began to circulate along the mental path of the “Red Sun Shines Over the World” technique. A portion of the true energy within his body gradually transformed from milky white to fiery red, returning to his lower dantian. As his cultivation of the technique deepened, the fiery red true energy increased, while the milky white true energy decreased. Ultimately, the two types of true energy reached a wondrous state of equal quantity and balance.

Immediately afterwards, Qi Fei simultaneously activated the “Red Sun Illuminates the World” technique and the “Bright Moon Flying Phoenix” divine skill. These two techniques could indeed be activated at the same time, and the two kinds of true energy blended together, gradually merging into one, becoming a brand new kind of true energy, which was red and blue, with red in blue and blue in red, which was very wonderful.

Qi Fei compared “Red Sun Shines Over the World” and “Bright Moon Flying Phoenix,” and based on their meanings and the information fed back from the circulation of true qi within his body, he reorganized them word by word, merging the two techniques of several hundred words into a thousand-word mantra.

The two extraordinary skills complemented each other, so this step was not difficult at all; it seemed to be the natural course of things.

Upon completing this mnemonic, Qi Fei felt a surge of inexplicable excitement and a strong sense of accomplishment.

“This must be the ‘Sun and Moon Divine Skill’ that Hua Zhenbei mentioned. I never thought I would master it.” Qi Fei thought to himself with delight.

Once the “Sun and Moon Divine Skill” was mastered, Qi Fei discovered that the strength of the true qi in his body was much stronger than before, and there was also more true qi flowing in his meridians. The true qi that his lower dantian could store was also much larger. At this time, he was fully capable of fighting against any top expert in the Innate Realm, and even to a standstill!

At that moment, Qi Fei suddenly felt a tremor in his heart, and the barrier of his realm, which had not reacted for a long time, actually loosened a little.

It is important to know that there are several barriers to overcome in martial arts training. The first barrier is to exhale and inhale a breath of true qi, transforming an ordinary person into a true martial artist with true qi. This is different from external martial arts masters, and is more powerful than ordinary external martial arts masters. This is considered to have entered the acquired realm. The second barrier is to open the gate between life and death, returning from the acquired to the innate, transforming the acquired true qi into innate qi. After it is strengthened, it becomes innate qi, and at this point, one has reached the innate realm.

After repairing his damaged meridians, Qi Fei cultivated the “Bright Moon Flying Phoenix” for over a year and reached the peak of the Acquired Realm. All the meridians in his body were opened, a remarkably fast pace. Normally, it would take at least three to five years of accumulation to open the gates of life and death and cultivate to the Innate Realm. However, his martial arts cultivation has now undergone a complete transformation, evolving from the Yin-dominant Divine Art “Bright Moon Flying Phoenix” to the Yin-Yang unified “Sun and Moon Divine Art.” The power of his internal energy is unimaginable, and the gates of life and death within his body were instantly broken open!

Qi Fei shuddered, feeling as if a gap had suddenly opened in a certain part of his lower dantian. This gap led to an unknown place, from which a large amount of strange true energy surged out until the true energy in his body reached saturation. This true energy then merged into his own true energy, and the true energy in his body gradually transformed into another, more powerful true energy.

This is the innate qi, the innate realm, finally achieved!

Qi Fei examined his entire body internally and discovered a blue moon emerging in his lower dantian, within which a blue phoenix phantom was dancing. In addition, there was a red sun, within which a golden crow was soaring. The sun and moon overlapped and slowly rose, only stopping when they reached the chest area of ​​his middle dantian.

Qi Fei opened his eyes, a flash of light appearing in them that illuminated the darkness of the prison for a moment, but it quickly faded away.

Qi Fei slowly stood up, a look of joy on his face.

The magic power is finally achieved!

At this moment, Qi Fei felt an incomparably powerful force surging through his body, and he was even confident that he could defeat the Ninth Prince!

At this moment, Hua Zhenbei’s voice rang out again: “Hmm? Yushu, I didn’t expect you to break through your acupoints so quickly. You must have already experienced the power of the ‘Red Sun Shines Over the World’ technique. Very good!”

Qi Fei disguised his voice as Hua Yushu’s and said, “Yes.”

His voice was slightly hoarse. Hua Zhenbei couldn’t see anything and thought he was injured.

Hua Zhenbei continued, “You must think we can’t get out now, right? You must be wondering, if we can’t get out, what’s the point of passing on this divine skill to you? Haha…”

He burst into laughter, the chains binding him rattling as he continued, “Actually, no! We still have a chance, at least you do! Did Wang Tianlong think that just because he pierced my collarbone, gouged out my eyes, and severely injured me, I couldn’t escape?”

Amidst a burst of wild laughter, a ball of red light suddenly surged from Hua Zhenbei’s body. This red light rose from his lower dantian all the way to his head, and finally condensed into a fiery red halo behind his head, like a blazing sun, bursting out with rainbow light and exuding a powerful heat. An incomparably surging power emanated from his body, sweeping out in all directions!

The sounds of “crack, crack” rang out continuously, and the chains on Hua Zhenbei’s body broke off one by one and scattered all over the ground!

“Open it for me—”

Hua Zhenbei struck out with his palm, a red sun appearing in his palm. He slammed the door heavily onto the prison door, and with a “bang,” the steel door flew off, crashed into the wall, and embedded itself in it.

“Ah, this…” Qi Fei exclaimed in shock.

“Yu Shu, listen carefully. I have reversed my meridians and unleashed all the potential within me at once, but I can only sustain this for an hour at most. I will risk my life to get you out of here. I want to see who can stop me!”

Hua Zhenbei strode out of the prison and walked towards the outside of the Heavenly Prison. “After you get out, don’t rush to avenge me. Find a place to hide and slowly accumulate strength. When you have absolute power in the future, then flatten this palace and dig out the hearts of Wang Tianlong and Wang Hongyu to offer as a sacrifice to me!”

Qi Fei was deeply shocked and followed behind him step by step.

Although this person had nothing to do with him, Qi Fei couldn’t help but feel grateful to him at this moment. If it weren’t for Hua Zhenbei’s teaching, he wouldn’t have been able to cultivate the “Sun and Moon Divine Skill”. Now that he reversed his meridians, overdrafted his life, and unleashed his potential to send him out of the Heavenly Prison, he should be even more grateful to him, even though he regarded him as Hua Yushu.

“Hua Zhenbei has escaped from prison!”

When the armored guards outside the prison saw Hua Zhenbei stride out, they were all terrified and retreated.

“Die!”

With a single grab, Hua Zhenbei drew an armored guard to him by an invisible force. The guard was then gripped by the throat, and with a quick squeeze, his throat bones shattered, killing him instantly.

“Quickly, call for help!”

At this moment, even the warden was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he hurriedly retreated, not daring to fight Hua Zhenbei at all.

Just kidding, this is the famous “Flower King” Hua Zhenbei in the martial arts world, a peerless master of the Heavenly Realm. Although he is a top master of the Innate Realm, how could he possibly stop a master of the Heavenly Realm?

A large number of people gathered from all directions, trying to stop Hua Zhenbei’s advance. Armored guards and imperial palace guards rushed forward, but they were all knocked away by Hua Zhenbei with a single palm strike. No one could withstand the power of his attack!

Hua Zhenbei slaughtered his way through the surrounding area, saying, “Yu Shu, remember what I said. After you get out, if you ever break through to the Heavenly Realm, find a way to cultivate with the Empress of Kun Kingdom and try to break through to the Shattered Realm. Only then will you have absolute confidence in flattening the palace… Die!”

A red sun, larger than a door panel, hung behind Hua Zhenbei’s head, releasing boundless pressure. Rays of red light shot out from it, piercing through all enemies. With the “Red Sun Illuminates the World” technique activated, countless armored guards and imperial palace guards fell one after another, all lying at Hua Zhenbei’s feet. No one could stop his advance.

Qi Fei watched Hua Zhenbei’s blood-soaked back and thought to himself, “I’ve already mastered your unparalleled skill, so I don’t need it anymore. Don’t worry, I will never let that little bastard Hua Yushu have a chance to lay a hand on my mother and my sister, hehe.”

He found a less crowded direction and charged out. Several armored guards and imperial palace guards tried to stop him, but he easily knocked them away. These people were just ordinary experts, how could they stop him?

More than two hours had passed since Qi Fei and his group infiltrated the palace. It was already the hour of Mao (5-7 AM), and dawn was approaching.

Hua Yushu brought several thousand men, a formidable force. Although the imperial palace was filled with experts, eliminating them would not be an easy task.

After escaping from the prison, Hua Yushu immediately sent out a signal fire to gather everyone together and hold off the siege of Jiu Qiansui and his men. He planned to break through the encirclement and fight his way out, having given up hope of rescuing Hua Zhenbei.

However, at that very moment, Hua Zhenbei had already led Qi Fei out of the Heavenly Prison. They were unstoppable, killing gods and demons alike. Chaos reigned outside the Heavenly Prison. Wang Hongyu, Jiu Qiansui, and the others received the signal and rushed over.

Hua Yushu and the others vaguely heard Hua Zhenbei’s voice and rushed over to check. When they saw that it was indeed Hua Zhenbei, everyone was extremely excited!

“Father!”

“Kao!”

“Chief Escort!”

“It’s Old Hero Hua!”

Hua Yushu, Yao Ye, Ye Taixuan, Chen Chijiao, and others were overjoyed and rushed forward to help Hua Zhenbei fend off the siege of Jiu Qiansui and Wang Hongyu.

“ha!”

Hua Zhenbei unleashed a domineering move called “Red Sun in the Sky.” The red sun behind his head burst forth with dazzling light, and an incomparably powerful fiery red aura surged out, expanding continuously like a round balloon and spreading in all directions. This power simultaneously forced back the Nine Thousand Years Old, Wang Hongyu, the Thirteen Protectors, and others.

Everyone looked horrified and dared not approach for a moment!

Hua Zhenbei laughed loudly, “My friends in the martial world, thank you for your hard work. I am truly ashamed that you risked your lives to break into the palace to save me. My time is running out. You should leave quickly. I will cover your escape. Yu Shu, hurry up!”

As he spoke, Hua Zhenbei continued to stride forward, his imposing aura overwhelming and invincible. Wang Hongyu, the Ninth Prince, the Thirteen Protectors, the leader of the Imperial Palace Dragon Guard, and others all retreated. Even with their combined strength, they were still unable to stop Hua Zhenbei.

“Father!” Hua Yushu, Yao Ye, Ye Taixuan, Yao Youwei, and others stood together, trying to rush over to help Hua Zhenbei.

Seeing Hua Zhenbei covered in blood, wounded and with his eyes bloodshot, everyone felt a mix of emotions, and Hua Yushu was filled with grief and indignation.

Clearly, everyone had already realized that Hua Zhenbei had used the “Red Sun Shines Over the World” technique to reverse his meridians and unleash all his potential at once. In less than an hour, his life force would be exhausted, and he would surely die.

Qi Fei was about to leave the palace when he saw the Panlong Sword in Wang Hongyu’s hand. He thought to himself, “Since my master’s wife and the others are not in the palace, I naturally have no need to stay here. However, I must not lose this Panlong Sword, otherwise I will be ashamed of the Diancang Sect and have no face to face my master’s wife.”

Thinking of this, Qi Fei leaped up and quickly flew towards Wang Hongyu.
