The boy's name is Zhang Fan.
Ben is a mortal who has lived in a mountain village since childhood.
Both parents are alive, and the family is happy.
Although life is relatively poor, this kind of life is better than that of most ordinary people in the world.
But Zhang Fan was not satisfied.
He has longed for the outside world since he was a child and is unwilling to stay in a mountain village all his life, living a life where he can see the future at a glance.
He hopes that he can one day become like the strong men who move mountains and reclaim the sea in Huaben's novels and see more scenery.
To this end, he left his hometown, hoping to join a sect.
After untold hardships, he finally entered the Holy Land of Absolute Beginning. He wanted to worship at the mountain gate but was blocked due to insufficient qualifications.
Fortunately, he had a firm heart and knelt outside the mountain gate for several days without eating or drinking, finally moving the deacon with his great perseverance.
However, his qualifications are still too poor after all!
After becoming a disciple of the outer sect, all the disciples from the same period were already at the third or fourth level of body forging, while he had only reached the first level of body forging.
When some of the disciples from the same period were promoted to the inner sect, he had only reached the third level of body forging.
He has worked hard and put in more effort than others.
But the final gain is far less than one-tenth of what others achieved!
Imagining the sarcasm in the eyes of the outer disciples looking at him on weekdays, Zhang Fan couldn't help but clench his fists.
However, it's all over!
Not long ago, he accidentally went out and obtained a rare treasure, which not only improved his aptitude but also granted him the talent to refine medicinal pills.
With this strange treasure, his strength has grown by leaps and bounds.
Moreover, through the sale of medicinal pills, he has also accumulated a lot of money.
"Wait!"
"This time, the outer door competition is my chance to soar to the sky!"
"Those who looked down on me will be trampled under my feet!"
"I, Zhang Fan, will step by step reach the extreme of martial arts, overlooking the mountains and rivers of the world and seeing the most splendid scenery!"
Zhang Fan made an oath in his heart.
...
The noise of the outside world did not disturb Gu Xuan, who was in retreat.
At this time, he has entered the most critical moment.
His bones were exuding a brilliant golden light, his blood was rushing through his blood vessels like a great river, and his vitality was rolling like waves.
His whole body exuded a terrifying power.
"Break!"
Gu Xuan shouted loudly.
All the blood and vitality in his body flowed toward his abdomen. At the same time, a majestic spiritual energy rushed from the sky and the earth, forming a huge funnel above his head, pouring into Gu Xuan's body.
At this moment, he sat cross-legged, and a roar came from within his body.
The innate pure yang bone in his chest cavity emitted infinitely bright rays of light, and streams of Dao rhythm flowed around him, while rich spiritual energy formed a turbulent sea of vitality around him, constantly scouring and transforming his body.
During this process, Gu Xuan's body was gradually changing.
First, a strange fragrance emerged, and his skin became as pure and flawless as suet white jade.
Inside, which could not be observed from the outside, his bones emitted bright golden light, and imprints of various mysterious and unpredictable laws appeared and disappeared from time to time.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Under such a transformation, his bones, meridians, qi, and blood were rapidly remodeling.
The sounds of tiger and leopard thunder continued to echo, and the sound of blood rushing reverberated one after another.
The dantian vitality in his body was rapidly expanding under such a surging and terrifying aura.
Finally!
"Crack!"
With a crisp sound, it seemed that some kind of bottleneck had been broken, and the sound shook his entire body.
Gu Xuan immediately felt that the originally scattered vitality in his body suddenly condensed and then gathered into a small vortex in his dantian.
Almost at the same time
The breath of his body suddenly soared, and a more terrifying power than before swept out, reaching a distance of thousands of meters.
"Call..."
After a moment, when the breath gradually calmed down, Gu Xuan slowly opened his eyes.
He saw that his eyes were dazzling and bright, with traces of rhythm, which quickly faded away.
It looked just like an ordinary person's!
However, Gu Xuan felt the vigorous and turbulent qi and blood in his body, as well as the vortex of qi sea that had opened up in his dantian.
All of this was clearly evident.
He had broken the shackles of his realm, completely reborn, and moved toward a new realm—
Tong Xuan!
The third step of the physical realm, the realm of Tong Xuan!
From then on, he could control the power of heaven and earth and comprehend the mysteries of all things!
"The sea of qi is self-generated, and the mystery can be achieved!"
"Now, I am a martial artist of the Tong Xuan realm!"
Gu Xuan's eyes shone brightly as he carefully realized the transformation brought about by breaking through the boundary.
His consciousness spread out.
He felt that the entire outer gate peak was under his control.
The breath of grass and trees, the rhythm of the wind, the circulation of the air.
The expressions of some outer disciples around him were reflected in his heart's lake.
Even more astonishingly, he could feel that he was connected with the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, allowing him to use this energy to attack and even fly.
Flight.
It was also an ability unique to the realm of Tong Xuan.
Thinking this, he subconsciously stirred up the sea of qi in his dantian, and the vigorous vitality surged through his meridians, like a volcano erupting.
Hum!
With a ripple in the air, Gu Xuan rose from the ground.
However, due to the constraints of the house, he could only rise three feet off the ground.
He simply flew out of the window, went outside, and then kept ascending.
Soon, he was already in the air.
Feeling the strong wind rushing past his ears and taking in the sights around him, Gu Xuan felt immense joy.
"Let's test my current strength and see to what level I have risen!"
He wanted to experience his newfound power.
When he arrived at an uninhabited forest, Gu Xuan drew the Qingsuo sword and directly mobilized the sea of qi.
"Cut!"
A sword slashed out, and the sword energy of over ten feet roared forward, wrapped in an indescribable aura, instantly crossing a distance of several dozen meters and directly striking the large tree in front of him.
Boom!
The tree burst into powder in an instant.
However, the sword energy remained unabated, spreading out for hundreds of feet.
Wherever it passed, the trees and stones in front of him were instantly split, creating deep ravines in the ground.
"What a mighty power!"
Looking at the aftermath of this sword strike, even Gu Xuan couldn't help but take a deep breath.
With just a single sword, he could raze everything to the ground within a hundred zhang!
If he exerted his full strength, it would likely be enough to break the river!
"At this level, I finally have a bit of self-preservation in this world!"
"But..."
"This is just the beginning!"
Gu Xuan sheathed his sword, his eyes shining brightly.
The outer door competition was just two days away.
This would be the moment when he soared into the sky and fully revealed his prowess!
