Chapter 664: Step into the Eighth Realm

Chapter 664: Step into the Eighth Realm

After Chloe left, she took off her mask, folded it up, and quickly returned to the hotel.

Once at the hotel, she removed the oversized coat and outer garments.

She was wearing only thin clothes underneath.

She casually ran her hand through her dark brown hair, then leaned back on the soft sofa.

She didn't know if what she was doing was right or wrong.

But she had no choice.

She felt guilty toward Larry.

Larry had given so much to her selflessly, but she hadn't appreciated it. Only after losing him did she realize what she had.

She wanted to be with Larry, to spend the rest of their lives together.

But Larry's heart was devoted to the country.

As long as the country was unstable, Larry wouldn't settle down, wouldn't wholeheartedly retreat with her to live a carefree life.

For Larry's sake, she had to do these things.

Sunset City.

Larry was in closed-door training.

He was refining the spirit turtle core.

The Spirit Turtle had lived for thousands of years, and its core contained tremendous energy. Even split into eight parts, it was still terrifying.

The power within the core was violent.

This force could not only affect a person's mind but also make their Qi violent and their temperament irritable.

Fortunately, Larry had learned the Flow Breathing that Chloe gave him.

After absorbing the core's energy, he could use Flow Breathing to forcibly suppress the violent power.

To forcibly control the desires arising in his heart.

He had been training diligently.

His combat power grew stronger day by day.

In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.

Larry had been in seclusion for this entire month.

He had refined most of the core. Now he had reached the peak of the seventh realm, just one step away from the eighth realm.

Back at the snowy peak of the Zephyr Order, he and Winford had discussed martial arts together.

Winford had told him many things.

Larry knew that after reaching the peak of the seventh realm, there were three steps to enter the eighth realm.

Just like going from the sixth to the seventh realm.

But entering the eighth from the seventh was even harder.

The three steps were: refining the five organs, gathering, and returning to origin.

The five organs: heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys.

The first step was relatively simple—using powerful Qi to nourish the five organs.

When the five organs were strong, they would naturally have vitality.

Once reaching this stage, as long as the Qi didn't dissipate and continued nourishing them, one could live for a long time.

Normally, with sufficient Qi, it would only take about ten days to complete the first step.

The second step: gathering.

Gathering the power of the five organs.

This power wasn't Qi, but life force—an invisible energy.

The third step: five energies returning to origin.

Upon reaching this stage, one would enter the eighth realm, 'Skybreaker.'

And all of this was connected to Qi.

The stronger the Qi, the faster one could complete these three steps.

Larry looked at what remained of the core in his hand. It was now less than half its original size.

"The remaining energy should be enough for me to enter the eighth realm."

Larry murmured softly.

Then he continued refining.

Wrapped in powerful Qi, the core was continuously refined, transforming into powerful energy. This energy was absorbed and frantically gathered in the five organs, beginning to nourish them.

With the spirit turtle core, Larry easily completed the first step.

Then he moved to the second step.

When all the core's energy was fully refined, he had already gathered his life force.

On the sixty-third day of his seclusion, five powerful energies suddenly burst forth from within him.

These energies rushed straight to the top of his head.

The three-layer energy he had cultivated in the seventh realm also converged.

A true three-layer energy resonance, five energies returning to origin.

Larry's aura reached its peak at this moment.

He slowly stood up, his expression calm, without joy or worry, murmuring softly: "Finally entered the eighth realm."

After two months of seclusion, absorbing the Spirit Turtle core's energy, his Qi had surged, and his life force had become extremely vigorous.

Now, he had entered the eighth realm.

He restrained his aura and walked out of the room.

It was evening now.

In the hall downstairs, quite a few people had gathered.

Esmeralda, Abigail, Trinity, Sue.

All four had been exposed to cultivation. Over these two months, when not busy with company matters, they practiced martial arts at home and discussed martial arts together.

"Such a strong aura."

Abigail's expression showed shock.

"Yeah, has Larry entered the eighth realm?" Esmeralda also looked toward the upstairs.

However, this powerful aura came quickly and left even faster.

Soon, Larry came downstairs.

Larry now looked much younger.

"So handsome."

All of them were stunned at the same time.

They were all attracted by the invisible charisma emanating from Larry.

"Why do I feel like Larry looks much younger, like he's twenty now?" Abigail said softly, looking at Larry approaching.

"Yeah." Esmeralda nodded. "He does look younger."

Larry approached, looking at the several people who had stood up with astonished expressions, and smiled. "Why are you all looking at me like that?"

"Larry, did you... did you enter the eighth realm?" Abigail came to her senses and asked.

The corners of Larry's mouth lifted into a faint smile.

He looked at Abigail.

After getting home from work, Abigail had taken a bath and was wearing white pajamas, slightly transparent, through which one could vaguely see her perfect figure.

Her long hair wasn't dry yet and was a bit damp.

Her face was rosy.

Seeing Abigail, Larry surprisingly felt a hint of possessiveness arise in his heart.

He shook his head slightly, suppressing the thought, then walked over. After sitting down, he nodded. "Yes, I've entered the eighth realm."

When Larry stared at Abigail, she also felt a jolt in her heart.

Larry had never looked at her with such eyes before.

She felt a bit secretly pleased.

She walked over and sat down beside Larry, deliberately sitting close to him.

Larry could smell the fresh fragrance on her—whether it was perfume or the scent of shampoo lingering in her hair, he couldn't tell.

"Congratulations."

After sitting down, Abigail smiled brightly:

"I heard Mr. Harris say that he was a genius, entering the seventh realm before forty, but he only entered the eighth realm close to a hundred years old. But Larry entered the eighth realm before thirty. Entering the eighth realm so young, with such strong life force, living two hundred years won't be difficult."

"Is that so?"

Larry touched his nose.

With Abigail sitting beside him, he felt a bit restless.

"Yes." Trinity also spoke excitedly. "That's what Mr. Harris said. He said the faster you enter the eighth realm, the longer you live, because your life force is preserved intact."

Larry looked at the many people in the room.

For some reason, evil thoughts arose in his heart.

He panicked and secretly activated Flow Breathing, suppressing the desires emerging in his heart.

He changed the subject and asked, "By the way, did anything major happen during the two months I was in seclusion?"

Abigail shook her head. "I don't know about Martial Arts World matters, but here in Sunset City, VitaGen Medical continues to develop rapidly. In the two months after New Year's, they've reached cooperation agreements with many international companies. Our PaxGen Pharmaceuticals is also growing, but compared to VitaGen Medical, we're far behind."Larry nodded.

He didn't need to worry about VitaGen Medical for now.

What he was concerned about now was the situation at Aurora Citadel.

He didn't know how things were going at Aurora Citadel.

During these two months, he had been focused on his training and hadn't asked Chloe, and Chloe hadn't called him either.
