“Hahaha-

Seeing this, Han Li burst into laughter. After nearly a year of waiting, the moment had finally arrived.

Fortunately, there had been no disturbances during this time; otherwise, he would have had to make a premature breakthrough.

Han Li’s Spiritual Sense swarmed out, covering thousands of miles to ensure there were no potential enemies. Then he hung a sign outside his door, instructing his concubines not to come looking for him for the time being.

Without further delay, Han Li immediately claimed two hundred years of cultivation and began his breakthrough into the Hollow Void Stage.

He was full of anticipation about which embryonic form of martial truth he would comprehend. He remembered that the System would help him condense a powerful embryonic form of martial truth, and now it was time to witness it.

The System’s account instantly decreased by two hundred years of cultivation. The next moment, Han Li felt his mental strength and senses immensely amplified, able to easily pierce through falsehoods and grasp the essence of the void.

Through the Eye of the Spirit, he saw countless mysterious rules in the world, patterns of Dao interwoven everywhere, with a multitude of rules and patterns converging into various embryonic forms of powerful martial truths, like a sea of stars formed by the convergence of countless Ancient Stars.

Han Li noticed that some of the embryonic forms of martial truth forming the Ancient Stars were particularly immense and bright. He instantly realized that these represented some of the supreme martial truths.

In that vast sea of stars, countless Ancient Stars resonated with him, and a few attracted him the most. With just a slight sensing, he knew what martial truths these particular Ancient Stars corresponded to.

Sword Intent, Palm Intent, Fist Intent, Defense Truth, Space Truth… (For example: Sword Intent is fully referred to as Sword Dao Truth, Defense Truth is temporarily called that for lack of a better term)

“Awesome!”

Han Li finally understood why earlier the System demanded four hundred

years of cultivation for him to break through to the Hollow Void Stage.

When others condense the embryonic form of martial truth, they need to slowly comprehend the heavens and the earth, piercing through the void and deception to find their own path of martial arts, and then step by step, condense an embryonic form of martial truth without choices.

What about Han Li?

He was able to directly see countless martial truths in the world, knowing which ones were powerful and which ones were in harmony with him, allowing him to make the best choice without going astray.

He had spent two hundred years of cultivation, and the effect was naturally more than just that; allowing him to clearly see countless martial truths was only the first step.

The second step was to allow Han Li’s greatest advantage to come into play.

What was his greatest advantage?

He had mastered more than six hundred complete martial arts techniques in various aspects such as attack, defense, and speed, spanning dozens of categories including fist, foot, knife, and sword.

As cultivators embark on the path of cultivation, besides cultivation techniques, they must also practice various martial arts to enhance their own strength, but very few can cultivate a martial art to the level of completeness.

Throughout his journey to the pinnacle of the God Refining Realm, he had changed many martial arts techniques, often replacing one that had achieved great success with a stronger technique.

As his cultivation level advanced to higher realms, he needed to learn higher-grade martial arts, and most cultivators would abandon lower-grade techniques that had reached great accomplishment to fully focus on cultivating higher-grade techniques, as this was far more cost-effective.

Of course, those born into major clans or powerful factions, or who had been taken under the wing of a strong individual from an early age, would start learning profound martial arts from the beginning.

Talented individuals could also quickly cultivate a martial art to a level of completeness, but as their cultivation level rose even faster, they were not willing to spend too much time on low-grade techniques that wouldn’t significantly enhance their strength.

Wouldn’t it be better to spend that time to advance higher-grade martial arts to a greater level or to raise their cultivation by several minor realms?

Even if a Hollow Realm Master or someone of a higher realm were to impart the secrets of cultivating martial arts to completeness—which is greatly beneficial for future condensation of martial truth—how many would choose this path?

Cultivating a martial art to the level of completeness takes considerable time, and the more you cultivate, the longer it takes. Focusing on martial arts training will slow down cultivation progress, and others will simply overpower you with their higher realm.

The more complete martial skills one mastered, the greater the benefits were for condensing the embryonic form of Martial Dao’s true meaning. As long as one could fuse them together, it was possible to condense a powerful true meaning of Martial Dao.

But these complete martial skills pertained to different true meanings of Martial Dao, and how difficult was it to fuse them into one? The more skills there were, the harder the fusion became, increasing geometrically in complexity.

This path was very difficult to follow, but once one managed to do so, one would become extremely powerful, often able to claim supremacy among one’s peers and sweep through invincible opponents.

Han Li did not need to worry about these, for he had spent two hundred years of cultivation, and the system would help him fuse all the true meanings of Martial Dao involved, ultimately forming his own path of Martial Dao, and condensing his unique embryonic form of Martial Dao’s true meaning.

What Han Li looked forward to was the strength of his Martial Dao’s true meaning embryonic form, having mastered hundreds of complete martial skills, including earth-level protective divine techniques like the Indestructible Vajra Body and the Dragon Suppressing Palm. Just how strong would it be?

As Han Li’s thoughts flowed, the integration of the true meaning of Martial Dao had already begun.

Through the Eye of the Spirit, he clearly saw ancient stars extinguishing one after another. Originally, many ancient stars attracted him, allowing him to condense the embryonic form of Martial Dao’s true meaning, but now, they were fewer and fewer.

The first to extinguish were the ancient stars formed from weaker true meanings of Martial Dao. Then came the average ones, followed by the stronger ones, and finally, even the ancient stars with powerful true meanings like Sword Intent, Defense Intent, and Spatial Intent, had also extinguished.

When all the ancient stars of the true meanings of Martial Dao he was involved with had extinguished, the entire sky dimmed in an instant. The next moment, an ancient star radiating Infinite Light emerged, illuminating the vast expanse, brilliant for eternity.

Han Li stared fixedly at that ancient star, feeling an incomparably strong attraction to it. This was the most suitable true meaning of Martial Dao for him; this was the path of Martial Dao he was meant to follow.

He found that this ancient star was even brighter and more dazzling than those supreme true meanings of Martial Dao had been. It seemed eternal and immovable, serenely overlooking the cycles of reincarnation, indifferent to the changes of worlds, it was the greatest, the most powerful, the most supreme true meaning of Martial Dao.

“Hiss-I’

Han Li couldn’t help but take in a breath of Spiritual Energy. Was the embryonic form of the Martial Dao true meaning he was about to condense really so powerful?

The stronger the embryonic form of Martial Dao true meaning, the stronger the completed true meaning of Martial Dao would be. However, this also meant that the path of Martial Dao was even more difficult to follow.

As Han Li reflected, the third step of his breakthrough began.

Han Li established a connection with the magnificent ancient star, and a ray of starlight fell from the ancient star, slicing through countless realms, traversing eternity, and instantly crossing endless time and space to descend upon Han Li.

In an instant, Han Li’s senses were blessed, Hollow Void shattered delusions, and he attained enlightenment of his own Martial Dao path while his Martial Dao true meaning’s embryonic form continuously condensed.

The starlight entered the deepest recesses of his mind, lying dormant there, containing innumerable Dao Intent, endless Dao Patterns, infinite Dao Principles, limitless Dao Laws…

Han Li’s aura soared higher and higher, growing ever stronger as if to reach the heavens. However, with Han Li’s intentional control and the Formation’s barrier in the palace chambers, not a trace leaked out.

“Boom!”

When the embryonic form of the Martial Dao true meaning was completely condensed, Han Li’s realm also broke through to the Hollow Void Stage, becoming a Hollow Realm Master.

As the magnificent ancient star shed its light, in various places unknown to Han Li, terrifying forbidden beings were awakened.

They kept calculating and probing, but in the end, they could only sigh.

An unparalleled demon had touched upon the strongest Martial Dao during their breakthrough to the Hollow Void Stage, but even these forbidden beings could not deduce who the demon was or where they were located.

Otherwise, they would have crossed thousands of worlds in an instant to take this unparalleled demon under their wing, to meticulously guide them, investing early in a being destined to rise, destined to stand at the pinnacle of all worlds and eras.

PS: I revised and revised, decided to discard the previously set true meaning of Martial Dao, deleted some drafts, and still wrote this.
