Chapter 219: Breakthrough to become a first-class general, completely get rid of the ant status
Before we knew it, another Spring Festival has passed.
In the past year, the development speed of the Renaissance Army has far exceeded expectations and has become a new force that cannot be underestimated.
Around the Spring Festival this year, all the soldiers and civilians of the Fuxing Army living around Daling Lake received twice as much rich New Year goods as last year. Their faces were beaming with joy.
Everyone went from house to house and happily celebrated a Spring Festival that was better than last year.
This lively New Year atmosphere forms a sharp contrast with the island in the middle of the lake at this time.
Today is the twelfth day of the first lunar month, and in three days it will be the Lantern Festival.
At this time, on the island in the middle of the lake shrouded by the formation, spiritual mist spread out, and it looked as if it was covered with a layer of vague veil, hazy, like the legendary fairyland.
At the edge of the spiritual lake below the mountain range that is still growing slowly, under a towering tree that is gleaming with colorful light, Li Dingguo, Wan'er and Hongmei are sitting cross-legged on the ground, surrounding the three sides of the huge tree roots.
The difference from the last time when three people broke through together was that this time only Li Dingguo was concentrating on practicing his main technique: Zhoutian Xingchen Zhenjing, and fell into a deep state of seclusion and cultivation.
Wan'er and Hongmei were just on two separate sides, protecting Li Dingguo, and they did not practice in seclusion together.
The three of them learned from their last lesson so as not to affect others when someone breaks through.
They were also worried that when they broke through to this great realm, they would need to absorb too much special life energy emitted by the Five-Colored Sacred Tree, which would not be enough for three people to break through together. As a result, someone would fail to break through to the great realm, and then suffer backlash and serious injuries, and regret it.
At this time, more than half a year had passed since the three of them had their last breakthrough.
With sufficient resources for cultivation and the help of this magical five-colored sacred tree, and with the fact that he never slacked off in his own cultivation, Li Dingguo had already reached the highest peak of the fourth level of martial arts a month ago.
In order to make the most of the magical effect of the Five-Colored Divine Tree, his natal spiritual root, Li Dingguo did not immediately go into seclusion to make a breakthrough, but continued to work on his foundation and practiced various combat techniques and skills.
Until three days ago, Wan'er and Hongmei both reached the highest peak of the fourth level of martial arts. Li Dingguo, who had accumulated enough experience, discussed with them yesterday and decided to go into seclusion together at noon today to break through the bottleneck of this great realm one after another.
With the help of the large amount of special life energy that is constantly emitted and accumulated by the five-colored sacred tree, he strives to break through to the initial fifth level of martial arts before the Lantern Festival and truly enter the ranks of great masters.
It was approaching noon, and Li Dingguo, who had been sitting cross-legged on the ground motionless for an hour, suddenly began to feel a surge of energy!
"Wave!"
A slight sound came from Li Dingguo's body, and a void channel appeared out of thin air three feet above his head. Endless power of his natal star continued to surge in, and the breakthrough process, which was almost exactly the same as the last time, began again.
But this time the commotion is much bigger!
The vortex of airflow above the head, which looked like a Tai Chi pattern, swept over an area of thirty miles in radius!
The endless influx of spiritual energy from heaven and earth, the power of his natal star, and the special life energy emitted by the five-colored sacred tree continuously poured into Li Dingguo's sea of consciousness.
The aura emanating from his body began to grow steadily.
The huge noise of the breakthrough frightened Wan'er and Hongmei, who were protecting Li Dingguo.
They also couldn't have imagined that the momentum of Li Dingguo's breakthrough to a higher realm this time would be so terrifying. Compared with the last breakthrough, the scale was at least ten times larger!
From this, it can be seen that the gap between the fifth and fourth levels of martial arts is much greater than the three had previously guessed.
No wonder a cultivator can only be called a true master, the kind that can dominate the clan, after he has reached the fifth level.
This massive breakthrough process lasted for about half an hour before it ended.
As the void passage above his head suddenly disappeared, the power of his natal star that had been pouring in dissipated without a trace. Li Dingguo, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, finally calmed down and stabilized the surging aura in his body.
"This gap... compared to before the breakthrough, is really too big."
After completing this round of breakthrough in a major realm, Li Dingguo felt the bursting power throughout his body and exclaimed in delight.
Half a month ago, he took the time out and spent sixteen points of luck to upgrade his natural divine power talent to the top level.
This is to achieve the greatest amplification effect during this major realm breakthrough.
His current physique should not be worse than those of Cao Bianjiao and Lu Xiangsheng, two peerless geniuses of the same level.
Although he still has a long way to go before he can reach their current level of cultivation.
From what he had seen and heard in the past two years, Li Dingguo already knew clearly how difficult it was for those practitioners at the fifth level of martial arts to make each step forward.
The world of cultivators is like this. As the cultivator's cultivation level increases, the gap between each small level will become larger, and future improvements in cultivation will become more and more difficult.
But no matter what, now that he has reached the initial stage of the fifth level of martial arts and is an unrivaled genius at the same level, Li Dingguo has the real power to protect himself and is no longer the insecure ant that he used to be.
Any practitioner who has reached the fifth level of martial arts cultivation is a genius among geniuses. As long as he is determined to escape, it will be difficult to stop him.
One would only die on the spot if he was caught off guard and trapped by the enemy's formation, or was successfully ambushed by a powerful enemy due to carelessness, or had to fight a desperate battle with a powerful enemy.
Otherwise, no great master of the fifth level of martial arts would be killed so easily.
Even if you use large spiritual weapons, psychic cannons and crossbow carts to launch a concentrated fire attack on a level 5 practitioner, it will be difficult to hit him as long as the other party is sufficiently alert and mentally prepared.
This kind of master has protective qi to protect himself, and it is difficult for ordinary spiritual weapons to cause harm to him. He also has very sharp perception, and his body movements are so fast that it is difficult for you to even aim at him with large spiritual weapons.
If you want to kill such a great master, the best way is to use a military formation, trap him and then use concentrated fire attack, or use your own magic weapon and innate magical powers to attack, so that you can successfully kill him.
Li Dingguo, who finally had enough ability to save his life under normal circumstances, immersed his mind in the sea of consciousness and checked the changes in his biggest trump card, the gold finger panel:
"Host: Li Dingguo (Combat Power: First-class Intermediate General)
Age: 12
Realm: Initial stage of fifth level of martial arts (Qi and blood have broken through the limit nine times)
Constitution: 93 (Physique includes comprehensive physical attributes such as strength, speed, agility, etc.)
Spirit: 93
Martial Arts: Shadow of the Chaos Bell
Natal Artifact: Xuanhuang Chaos Bell (Sealed: 2/9) (Inherent magical powers: Calming the Soul, Suppressing Luck) (Can be unlocked by consuming points of luck)
Human Emperor Cauldron (Sealed: 2/9) (Inherent magical power: suppresses the luck of the individual and the host's power) (The stronger the host's own power, the faster the seal of the Human Emperor Cauldron will be lifted) (The third seal can be unlocked by consuming thirty points of luck)
Shura Battle Flag (Special Warfare-type Acquired Top-grade Artifact) (Inherent magical power: When a general is in battle, the fighting spirit of his soldiers will increase significantly)
Talents: Natural Power + (Top), Affinity with Spiritual Beasts + (Top), Photographic Memory (Cannot be upgraded)

Secondary occupations: Alchemist (primary mastery +), weapon refiner (primary mastery +), array master (primary mastery +)
Luck: 52 (If the luck value is zero, you will suffer misfortune)
Star Fate: Po Jun (enabled)"
The first thing he was most concerned about was the change in luck value.
It had previously cost him 16 points of luck to upgrade his innate divine power talent to the top level. The original 58 points of luck had previously fallen back to 42 points.
Now, due to the breakthrough in his realm, he has become a fifth-level martial arts master. In addition, the Renaissance Army he founded is no longer what it used to be, so his luck value has naturally increased by ten points, reaching a total of fifty-two points.
This time, the accumulation was too profound. After Li Dingguo broke through to the initial stage of the fifth level of martial arts, his combat power reached that of a first-class intermediate general, which made him very happy. All of his combat skills, except for the sword skills that he did not practice often, had reached a superb level, which was even more gratifying.
Li Dingguo is now not only an early-stage alchemist and weapon refiner, but also a junior formation master.
Moreover, these three auxiliary professions have already reached the primary great success level.
Even the two ancient basic five-element spells have reached the realm of great success.
During this period of time, Li Dingguo has tried his best to consolidate his foundation and has not wasted his time, but has gained a lot.
The brand new gold finger panel looks simply gorgeous.
It is estimated that he can crush practitioners of the same level in all aspects.
This is the root foundation.
Li Dingguo was very clear that he still had a long way to go.
We are just getting started now.
Only by laying a solid foundation can we go further in the future.
If you are eager for quick success and only think about breaking through your own level of cultivation as quickly as possible, but this causes your foundation to become weak, then the gain will be counterproductive.
He has never relied on his golden finger to blindly break through the realm of cultivation.
Most of the various skills and techniques displayed on the cheating panel were obtained through his own hard work.
I don’t know how much luck I saved and how many detours I avoided during this process.
As the leader of a powerful force, it is very important for him and the Renaissance Army to reserve a large amount of luck value.
With the innate magical weapon to suppress the luck, the more luck value you reserve, the smoother the luck will be, and you will not suffer from tragic bad luck and catastrophic disaster.
Now after all the hard work, it is finally the harvest season.
At this moment, the identity of an ant that he had always been in has completely left him.
Li Dingguo sank his mind into the sea of consciousness and found that after breaking through to the fifth level of martial arts, his martial arts form had finally materialized.
Although his martial arts form was formed by the gathering of his entire body's energy and spirit, it did not look much different from the real Xuanhuang Chaos Bell.
A practitioner of the fifth level of martial arts, using the materialized martial arts form driven by the inner energy, already has the ability to launch long-range attacks.
Even if the warrior himself stands still, he can use the power of his mind to control the martial arts method and kill the enemy more than thirty feet away.
The solidity and flexibility of the martial arts form that has been materialized are far beyond what it was before when it was virtual, and the ability to withstand attacks will be qualitatively improved.
From now on, martial arts images will no longer be so easily shattered by enemies, thus preventing the practitioner from suffering backlash and serious injuries.
"Big brother!"
"Brother Dingguo!"
Just after checking the earth-shaking changes in himself, Li Dingguo opened his eyes, just in time to see two graceful figures leaping towards him, looking at him in surprise.
"I was very lucky this time. I finally succeeded in breaking through a great realm and became a true master."
Li Dingguo smiled and said to the two girls, "During this breakthrough, there are a few things to pay attention to..."
Li Dingguo then looked solemn and explained in detail to Wan'er and Hongmei some of the things they needed to pay attention to during the entire process of his breakthrough to a great realm.
This kind of breakthrough experience is priceless.
It is impossible to receive the teachings if you are not a truly trustworthy person.
The value contained therein is immeasurable.
This is the successful experience of breaking through from the fourth level of martial arts to the fifth level, which is not comparable to the common sense of ordinary practitioners.
Once you take this step, you will become a true master, have the confidence to gain a foothold in this big world and be able to rule a region.
On the contrary, even if you are a peak fourth-level martial arts master, you are actually just a slightly stronger ant.
In the eyes of those fifth-level martial arts masters, he is just an insignificant little character.
The fifth level of martial arts is the dividing line between a true genius and an ordinary genius.
The vast majority of martial arts geniuses will never be able to break through to the fifth level in their entire life.
Even for the current grassland overlord-level force, the Later Jin Tatar clan, it is the same. Only masters who have reached the fifth level of martial arts are qualified to lead an army.
One must have reached the fifth level of martial arts cultivation to be qualified to serve as the flag master.
Even Huang Taiji's eldest son Haoge only officially became the leader of the Bordered Yellow Banner after he broke through to the early fifth level of martial arts.
Otherwise, it will be difficult to convince the people, and no soldier will really take you seriously.
Among the strictly hierarchical Later Jin clan, the idea that the strong are respected has been deeply rooted in people's hearts.
The fifth level of martial arts is the only criterion for determining whether you are qualified to become a core general.
In this magical world, if you can break through to the fifth level of martial arts, you will be a truly strong person recognized by the world.
Otherwise, you won’t be able to stand up to the standard.
No matter how you jump up and down, you are just a clown.
