Following a few people, Lu Yu arrived at the safety zone of the secret realm.

The secret realm safety zone is a commonly acknowledged area by all major forces, located in the middle ground between all dangerous areas, unaffected by the might of these perilous places. Experts from higher realms also do not enter this area on their own.

This safety area is densely packed with Qi Cultivation realm imprints, with many Qi Cultivation realm martial cultivators appearing here, resulting in a large number of retained imprints.

"Senior brother seems a bit odd, we didn't see the imprint of that peak Qi Manipulation realm on our way here."

"Maybe it was defeated by other Qi Manipulation realm martial cultivators."

The secret realm safety zone? Lu Yu surveyed the surroundings. It seemed to have gathered most of the remaining participants, which was not where he wanted to be.

He turned to leave and headed towards the Sword Abyss. The Fire Sea Ice Island lay between the Fist Valley and Sword Abyss, and now Qi Manipulation realm imprints had appeared; it wouldn't be long until Qi Ocean realm imprints appeared.

Lu Yu wanted to wait near the scorched ground first; otherwise, after the Qi Ocean realm imprint emerged, it wouldn't be as easy to move freely. Even with a shield that could withstand attacks from Qi Ocean realm experts, Lu Yu could only flee, unable to move freely as desired.

Compared to imprints, Lu Yu was more concerned about the participants in the martial secret realm. The strength of imprints is much weaker than that of their main bodies, and they have no equipment, posing much less of a threat than the participants.

However, with enough spirit stones and the Silent Shadow Concealment Array hiding his whereabouts, it wouldn't be easy for Qi Manipulation realm participants to find him.

Seeing Lu Yu turn to leave, the senior brother seemed puzzled, "Aren't you staying here? There are many Qi Cultivation realm imprints here and it's relatively safe."

"No, thanks for showing the way."

Lu Yu left the safety zone of the secret realm. The so-called safety zone is only safe when the strong abide by the rules, otherwise, as long as you remain in the martial secret realm, there is no safe place.

With the Shadow Concealing Silent Array Disc on him and continuously active, Lu Yu was virtually invisible, unless someone entered the array's range, no one could detect his presence.

8 spirit stones could support the Silent Shadow Concealment Array for half an hour, and the number of spirit stones Lu Yu had was more than enough to keep the array running until the martial secret realm closed.

Lu Yu walked while searching for peak Qi Manipulation realm imprints, killing imprints in seconds to gain experience and enhance his realm.

Boom! The fourth peak Qi Manipulation realm imprint was killed in seconds by Lu Yu, and he gathered enough experience points to click and upgrade his cultivation technique.

[After diligent cultivation, the Bladeless Blade Technique has been upgraded to the fifth layer, Spiritual Power +45, Qi Blood +25]

[Insight gained from cultivating the Bladeless Blade Technique, realm upgraded to Qi Cultivation realm fifth tier, Spiritual Power +35, Qi Blood +9]

Lu Yu's realm progressed to the Qi Cultivation realm fifth tier, Qi Blood intensity 904, Spiritual Power maximum 749, each of ice and fire's Spiritual Power limits increased by 40 points.

Lu Yu's physique was too strong, with very limited Qi Blood upper limit increases upon minor breakthroughs in the Qi Cultivation realm.

After the Qi Blood enhancement, the strength gap between Lu Yu and the Qi Manipulation realm imprints narrowed, allowing him to kill them more effortlessly.

He sat down to rest and recover his strength, eating spirit fruits to restore Qi Blood, waiting for the aftereffects of the Blood Burning Secret Technique to dissipate.

Lu Yu never kept the Blood Burning Secret Technique active for long, so the aftereffects were mild, only needing a little rest to use the technique again.

Most importantly, he had enough points to freely purchase spirit fruits and elixirs to replenish Qi Blood from the mall, otherwise, it would be impossible to exhaust all his strength to kill Qi Manipulation realm imprints for experience as he did now.

Thump thump thump~ Heavy footsteps sounded as Lu Yu stood up to look in the direction of the sound. With his form concealed by the Silent Shadow Concealment Array, he wasn't afraid of encountering enemies.

A robust figure came into Lu Yu's view, and strength was Lu Yu's first impression. The person's entire body was muscular like twisted roots of an old tree, the wide short-sleeve coarse cloth strained tight against his bulging chest muscles.

The coarse cloth short-sleeved man made heavy thudding footsteps with each step, as if carrying a mountain.

Lu Yu looked at him, feeling puzzled. Even if the gravity in Fist Valley doubled, it shouldn't make walking look so heavy and labored.

The coarse cloth short-sleeved man was bare-handed, not carrying anything. Lu Yu couldn't understand why every step he took was so heavy.

The man's steps stopped, and not far from him, a peak Qi Manipulation realm imprint formed, its height over three meters, with the man only reaching its waist.

The Giant Spirit Bloodline Martial Cultivator imprint, one of the hardest imprints to deal with in the martial secret realm.

Lu Yu wasn't sure if his four-times damage could kill this imprint instantly, he estimated it was unlikely.

Causing severe injury was certain; no Qi Manipulation realm martial cultivator could withstand Lu Yu's full-strength strike without being severely wounded.

But severe injuries were meaningless; after a strike, all of Lu Yu's strength would be exhausted, leaving no energy to finish the imprint off. It might even be snatched away by a passing strong individual.

The Giant Spirit Bloodline Martial Cultivator imprint walked towards the man without flashy moves, directly punching towards his head, a fist larger than the man's head, accompanied by a heavy whooshing wind, came crashing down.

Boom! The air waves rolled continuously, Lu Yu squinted his eyes and raised his hand to shield himself from the flying dust.

The coarse cloth man actually clashed with the Giant Spirit Bloodline Martial Cultivator imprint, blocking its attack, watching the collision of the two fists, Lu Yu felt an exceedingly bizarre, incredible sensation.

That feeling was like an adult hitting a child with full force, and the child blocking the adult's full-force strike with a punch.

Compared to the difference in fists between a child and an adult, the difference between the coarse cloth man's and the Giant Spirit Bloodline Martial Cultivator imprint's fists was even greater.

Lu Yu watched wide-eyed as the coarse cloth man clashed with the famously strong Giant Spirit Bloodline Martial Cultivator imprint, and violently smashed the imprint apart.

That sense of shock was no less than watching an action blockbuster.

After smashing the imprint, the coarse cloth man continued onward, the heavy footsteps gradually fading away.

"He doesn't absorb martial comprehension?" Lu Yu looked somewhat surprised at the departing big man, then thought of a possibility. Maybe this guy is a player.

Only players wouldn't stop to absorb martial comprehension after smashing the shadow.

[Chat in the Secret Realm of Warriors] Anonymous: Oh my god! I saw the Mountain Bearer entered the secret realm too.

[Chat in the Secret Realm of Warriors] Mountain-Shaking Fist Grandmaster: Mountain Bearer? The body refinement lunatic who packed a mountain in his backpack?

[Chat in the Secret Realm of Warriors] Anonymous: Mind your words, the Mountain Bearer is also in the secret realm. Calling him a lunatic might get you into trouble.

[Chat in the Secret Realm of Warriors] Mountain-Shaking Fist Grandmaster: Who's afraid of whom? I'm also at the peak of Qi Cultivation. We're both at the peak, why should I be afraid of the Mountain Bearer? What a joke!

[Chat in the Secret Realm of Warriors] Anonymous: I just saw the Mountain Bearer smash the shadow of a peak Qi Cultivation giant bloodline martial cultivator with his fist without getting injured.

[Chat in the Secret Realm of Warriors] Mountain-Shaking Fist Grandmaster: ...

[Chat in the Secret Realm of Warriors] Mountain-Shaking Fist Grandmaster: Can't mess with you, Mountain Boss. I apologize, please don't hold this against me.

...

Reading the chat on the public channel, Lu Yu glanced around but did not find anyone else. Where is the player who said they saw the Mountain Bearer?

Seems like not only I can hide my tracks, Lu Yu thought.

Mountain Bearer, huh? Lu Yu thought of the heavy footsteps the coarse-clothed man made as he walked; other players said he carried a mountain in his backpack, which seemed quite possible.

The carrying limit of a backpack depends on the player's own strength, or in other words, power. The more you pack, the heavier the pressure loaded onto the player.

If you only pack a small amount of items and their actual weight does not exceed 20% of the player's own strength, the backpack won't generate heavy pressure.

Moreover, players can only put in what they can carry themselves. To pack a mountain, one must have the strength to lift mountains or pack it bit by bit.

Whichever way it is, judging from the Mountain Bearer's heavy footsteps, the weight in his backpack is undoubtedly high, probably containing a small mountain.

Looking at the direction where the Mountain Bearer went away, Lu Yu scratched the back of his head, pondering, "Is the Mountain Bearer using the backpack's characteristic for body refinement training under heavy pressure?"

He felt his guess was probably very close to the truth.

The heavy pressure from the backpack's load will evenly cover the player's whole body, equivalent to a gravity chamber the size of the player's body.

As the weight of the items in the backpack increases, the gravity in this chamber increases, exerting heavy pressure on the player.

This is equivalent to being in a high-gravity area for a long time; as long as one can endure, the physique will gradually strengthen. With enough time, the body's strength will reach an astonishing level.

Lu Yu uses the extreme forces of ice and fire for body refinement; as his physique strengthens, he gains resistance to ice and fire. The Mountain Bearer, through backpack pressure training, gains pure physical resistance.

To resist heavy pressure, the Mountain Bearer's physical strength must be quite high; otherwise, it would be the bones supporting the entire body's weight that would break first.

Should I learn from the Mountain Bearer and use backpack pressure for body refinement? Lu Yu pondered over this question.

No quick answer to this, Lu Yu continued searching for peak Qi Cultivation shadows to kill, to gain experience points, upgrade his realm, and enhance the power of the Infinite Fist.

To upgrade, 500,000 experience points are needed, requiring the killing of 4 more shadows of peak Qi Cultivation martial cultivators for sufficient experience points.

Given enough time, it's not very difficult.

Thus, Lu Yu wandered near the scorched ground, looking for shadows of peak Qi Cultivation to kill.

With the revival of the secret realm's power, the scorched ground also began changing. The cracked, blackened earth started heating up, and cold air started rising from the ground at the center.

Lu Yu no longer dared to tread on the scorched ground at will, not knowing when it might turn into a sea of fire.

After spending most of the day, Lu Yu finally gathered 500,000 experience points. At one time, he even made a mistake and failed to instantly kill his target.

The target he selected that time was the shadow of a newly-broken-through Sea of Qi expert. He didn't look closely and activated the Blood Burning Secret Technique, charging right at it, but failed to instantly kill the shadow, only severely injuring it.

Finally, he had to shoot three bolts with the Spirit-Breaking Crossbow to finish off that Sea of Qi expert shadow.

The fearsome Sea of Qi experts, even heavily injured, could take hard hits from Lu Yu's three Spirit-Breaking Crossbow bolts before being completely killed.

[Through diligent training, Bladeless Blade Technique has been raised to the sixth layer, Spiritual Power +60, Qi Blood +30]

[Insight gained from practicing Bladeless Blade Technique, realm advanced to the sixth level of Qi Cultivation, Spiritual Power +40, Qi Blood +10]

With the realm advancing to the sixth level of Qi Cultivation, Qi Blood strength reached 944, Spiritual Power maximum reached 849, and ice and fire Spiritual Power maxima each increased by 50 points.

The Bladeless Blade Technique has been cultivated to the top layer, making it no longer possible to indirectly upgrade the realm through cultivating cultivation techniques, or greatly increase the Qi Blood and Spiritual Power maxima.

But this is not a big problem; Lu Yu can continue to cultivate several non-attribute cultivation techniques to receive rewards for raising technique layers, and incidentally break through the realm, though the first few layers might waste some experience.

Only Lu Yu has access to the system's marketplace, allowing him to recklessly keep upgrading techniques and enhancing realms.

Other players who can get a good cultivation technique really just have luck; only Lu Yu can choose as he pleases.
