Chapter 220 Rank 9 Innate

[Congratulations, host, on completing the mission: Breaking the Formation]
[Host receives reward: Comprehension]
The system beeped, and the comprehension I had just used up was replenished.
Ye Kang also noticed that a new "Skills" icon had appeared on his system panel.
There is only one solution to the Mysterious Formation in this column, which means the system has separated martial arts from this kind of unorthodox skill.
As for the remaining comprehension points, there were just enough for him to break through.
Ye Kang addressed the three stunned Qinglin Guards below: "You should hurry and meet up with the White Stork and Iron Oriole Guards. This place is dangerous, and there are not only White Lotus rebels, but also people trying to cross the border illegally."
"What! This..."
The three Azure Scale Guards looked at each other, their faces filled with astonishment.
In their minds, only the imperial court could open the secret realm, so how could anyone else possibly enter?
Ye Kang didn't explain, but simply said, "The black-clad man who attacked us just now was one of them. In any case, you should deliver this message to the two garrison commanders as soon as possible."
"Lord Song, aren't you coming with us?"
"I have other matters to attend to. The three of you should take care of yourselves."
"All right……"
The three were somewhat disappointed; without this powerful bodyguard by their side, the danger would have been much greater.
However, they didn't say much. The leader, an eighth-rank innate cultivator, took out a small jade ball, crushed it, and a white aura pointed in the direction.
As long as you follow this direction, you can eventually find the white stork guarding the town.
After the three bid farewell, Ye Kang shook his head regretfully.
"It's a pity that this ancient city should have had a lot of good things, but it has been completely looted over the years, leaving me with nothing."
Dai Huanhuan said bitterly, "How dare you say that? You've taken away three top-tier city-protecting formations. Who can defeat you?"
Ye Kang touched his nose. Indeed, the solution to the Xuanmen formation was the greatest gain from this place.
It was a pleasant surprise that there wasn't even a map on the system.
"I still want to ask, why are you so skilled in array formations?" Dai Huanhuan asked, still unconvinced.
Ye Kang smiled and said, "Of course, it's because of my hard work."
Dai Huanhuan's face darkened, but the resentment in her eyes was diminishing.
Ye Kang opened the map and began searching for the second spatial rift.
The location isn't far from here, but there's an entire mountain range in between, and the system has marked the mountain range with a skull symbol, signifying danger.
Taking a detour is too far, and venturing in rashly is risky.
The only way is to break through immediately and crush all dangers with your own strength.
Ye Kang said, "Turn around, I'm going to meditate and cultivate for a bit."
"??? Here?"
"Is there a problem?"
"No, as long as you are happy."
Dai Huanhuan dared not argue with him again and quickly turned and ran away.
Ye Kang ignored him and swept his true energy away, clearing away all the dust on the ground.
He sat cross-legged and said, "System, break through to the Imperial Supreme Heaven-Reaching Technique."
【Ding】
[The host has consumed comprehension points and successfully comprehended the eighth level of the Imperial Supreme Heaven-Reaching Technique]
In an instant, countless insights came flooding in.
In some mysterious way, it seems that Ye Kang has been sitting on the throne for countless years, conquering the south and the north, the east and the west, turning the northern desert into a pasture for cattle and sheep, and the western regions into a Silk Road trade route...
However, he was unable to break through and remained stuck at the seventh level for a full fifty years. By this time, he was nearly two hundred years old, his lifespan was about to end, his eighty princes were eyeing him covetously, and the country was on the verge of collapse...
At the moment of his impending death, a grandmaster suddenly descended upon the world, offering guidance with a single finger, and miraculously broke free of his shackles on the spot, beginning his breakthrough...
A bang!
Ye Kang snapped out of his reverie, his expression awkward.
Damn it, is my aptitude really that bad? In the end, I'll have to rely on someone else to enlighten me to break through, right?
【Ding】
[Congratulations, host, on reaching the Ninth Rank of Innate Realm]
[The host continuously refines himself, and his aptitude improves.]
Current Qualifications: Mediocre
"puff!"
Ye Kang almost vomited blood.
The initial joy of breaking through to the ninth rank vanished instantly.
If someone only becomes mediocre after their qualifications have improved, weren't they just complete waste before?
"It's alright, it's alright. Anyway, I'm relying on the system, so I can continue to improve my qualifications in the future. No need to worry, no need to worry..."
Ye Kang quickly reassured himself, then took a deep breath, and the surrounding spiritual energy was immediately drawn in and merged into himself.
During a breakthrough, there will be a purification process by heaven and earth; the stronger you are, the more obvious the purification will be.
This place happens to be a secret realm, where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is 50% higher than outside, greatly enhancing the refining effect.
Ye Kang could clearly feel that his physical strength had increased significantly again. At least below the Grandmaster level, Ye Kang didn't think anyone's body tempering cultivation was higher than his.
Then, his realm stabilized. Ye Kang took a big gulp of spiritual energy from heaven and earth, his true energy surged, his soul expanded, and everything improved.
Conversely, the commotion caused by this breakthrough was so great that the entire ancient city began to tremble, and all the spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged towards this place, directly causing Dai Huanhuan to become intoxicated.
She stared in disbelief as Ye Kang's body slowly rose into the air, spinning in place, with spiritual light from heaven and earth flowing into it!
"Wow! He's breaking through to the ninth rank!"
Dai Huanhuan covered her mouth, and then pinched her cheeks repeatedly.
"You must be dreaming! I must be dreaming!"
"Not buddy, why?"
"Even geniuses have their limits, you know!"
Dai Huanhuan completely broke down, collapsing onto the ground as if she had become indifferent to the world.
After a while.
As the commotion subsided, Ye Kang slowly landed. When he opened his eyes again, he had already stabilized his cultivation at the ninth rank of the initial stage.
He excitedly raised his arm, and could clearly feel that all his skills had greatly improved. Even the Hundred Flowers Sword Finger, which was used to clear out the minions, had unparalleled divine power when used with the ninth-grade martial arts!
What's even more terrifying is one's own spiritual perception.
Ye Kang activated all five senses, spreading his perception to its fullest extent, and the entire ancient city seemed to be under his control.
"This is the ninth rank. If I were to encounter the Flood Dragon Lord again now, two punches should be enough, right?"
Ye Kang smiled and then checked the attribute panel.
