Chapter 80: Chapter 80 Jing Yan’s Enlightenment Chapter 80: Chapter 80 Jing Yan’s Enlightenment Jing Yan stepped down from the arena.

“Buzz!”

Countless members of the Jing Family crowded around Jing Yan, pressing in tightly.

These people naturally wanted to greet Jing Yan, each more enthusiastic than the last.

“Brother Jing Yan!

Brother Jing Yan!” Especially some bold female martial artists, quite a few were openly flirting with Jing Yan!

Anyone with discerning eyes could see that in this Jing Family tournament, the ultimate victor would undoubtedly be Jing Yan.

Although a total of fifty people had made it into the final competition, aside from Jing Yan, which of the other forty-nine could confidently claim they could defeat Jing Shaohe, who was half a step into the Innate Realm?

None had such confidence.

If they couldn’t even defeat Jing Shaohe, let alone Jing Yan!

Faced with these enthusiastically greeting people, Jing Yan also responded with a casual smile.

What he wanted to do most now was to return to his residence and reflect on his thoughts about the Primordial Qi Fog during his fight with Jing Shaohe.

“Ladies and gentlemen, sorry, I need to take some time off now!”

Faced with the growing crowd, Jing Yan could only express his apologies by cupping his hands together.

Actually, Jing Yan didn’t really care about these people.

If he were still the Jing Yan from before, the nearly worthless martial artist of the Martial Arts Third Layer Heaven, these people probably wouldn’t even bother with him.

It was all just an act for the occasion, not to be taken seriously.

However, Jing Yan still couldn’t leave right away.

A few elders of the Jing Family and some distinguished guests were walking toward him.

After coping for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Jing Yan finally managed to leave with Jing Ziqi.

At that moment, Jing Yan didn’t notice that in one part of the square, a sinister gaze was locking onto his back.

That person was Jing Tianlong.

He too had watched the battle between Jing Yan and Jing Shaohe.

“Enjoy your pride for a few days; in three days, your death day will arrive!” Jing Tianlong muttered in a low voice.

…

“Jing Yan, I didn’t expect you to beat Jing Shaohe!

When I saw Jing Shaohe’s Primordial Qi Fog, I really thought you were doomed,” Jing Ziqi said with a laugh, her beautiful eyes twinkling with a hint of slyness.

“Jing Shaohe is not a true Innate after all,” Jing Yan shook his head slightly.

At that moment, his heart wasn’t at ease because, in three days, he would ultimately have to fight Jing Tianlong.

According to Jing Ziqi, Jing Tianlong’s strength was formidable, and even she might not be his match.

The two had both cultivated at the Red Lotus Academy, so they surely knew each other well.

After bidding farewell to Jing Ziqi, Jing Yan hurried back to his residence at the fastest speed.

Then, in his room, he calmed his mind.

He closed his eyes, recalling the sensation of the Primordial Qi Fog.

During his fight with Jing Shaohe, Jing Yan had felt a change in his Primordial Qi, but he had to focus all his concentration on the fight, leaving no time to reflect further.

“It’s a pity, it’s somewhat vague!”

After a moment, Jing Yan frowned.

If he had started to perceive it immediately during his fight with Jing Shaohe, the effect might have been much better.

Now, Jing Yan had a feeling as if he could see but not touch.

After shaking his head, Jing Yan could only sigh helplessly.

In fact, Jing Yan wasn’t very confident about the battle with Jing Tianlong in three days.

He wasn’t clear about what tactics or trump cards Jing Tianlong had, just as Jing Tianlong wasn’t aware that he possessed the assassin’s trump of Fusion Martial Arts.

Jing Tianlong, after all, was a true martial artist of the Innate Realm.

His Primordial Qi alone was far beyond Jing Shaohe.

And Jing Yan’s Primordial Qi was slightly weaker than Jing Shaohe’s, let alone compared to Jing Tianlong.

“Hmm?”

“Try using the Sky Vaulting First Divine Skill?” Jing Yan thought.

So far, he hadn’t fully explored the might of the Sky Vaulting First Divine Skill.

Repairing martial arts, merging martial arts, absorbing Primordial Qi, it seemed like the Sky Vaulting First Divine Skill was omnipotent.

Thinking this, Jing Yan began to experiment.

“Haha, there really is a way!”

As the Sky Vaulting First Divine Skill circulated, Jing Yan distinctly felt that the vague comprehension was becoming clearer.

“Primordial Qi Fog!”

Jing Yan muttered softly.

Jing Yan had once stepped into the Innate Realm, so he was not unfamiliar with this process.

The difficulty now was that Jing Yan had just stepped into the Ninth Layer Heaven not long ago, and he was still a fair distance from a breakthrough.

Time steadily passed.

In the silent moment, Jing Yan’s arm suddenly moved, and he swiftly took out a top-grade Spirit Stone and then started to absorb the Primordial Qi within.

Jing Yan had bought ten top-grade Spirit Stones at the Treasure Pavilion in Donglin First Building, and now only two remained.

As Jing Yan absorbed the Primordial Qi, his understanding grew more and more profound.

The Primordial Qi in his Martial Arts Meridians kept compressing and condensing until, gradually, it really began to vaporize!

As the vaporization process continued, Jing Yan’s Martial Arts Meridians cleared, creating vast spaces that needed new Primordial Qi to refill.

Luckily, Jing Yan still had two top-grade Spirit Stones; otherwise, even with such enlightenment, vaporizing would be hard to achieve.

After a little more than a day, one top-grade Spirit Stone was completely absorbed, turning into white dust.

Without hesitation, Jing Yan picked up the second Spirit Stone to absorb.

Thus, the days from the challenge phase to the final competition of the Jing Family tournament quietly passed, three days in total.

On the morning of the fourth day, Jing Yan opened his eyes.

“Primordial Qi Fog, I actually succeeded!” Even though it occurred in his own body, he could hardly believe it.

Because Jing Yan’s Primordial Qi Fog was not due to him stepping into the Half-step Innate Realm.

He was still firmly within the Martial Arts Ninth Layer Heaven.

Logically, his condition shouldn’t have allowed for Primordial Qi Fog.

Yet, reality was that it had indeed happened.

A Martial Arts Ninth Layer Heaven martia…
