Lu Qing chose a certain seabed location off the coast of the East China Sea as the breakthrough site, and the main reason is actually one:

Nobody thought about it.

Here, it's not even a first-order spiritual vein, it's not in the vicinity of the ship's route, there are no resources, and there won't be any fishing boats or people coming.

And this sea area looks relatively barren, only some ordinary sea creatures, living in this area, even intelligent sea tribes, krakens, and sea beasts will not run here.

Choosing this place to make a breakthrough was not Lu Qing's idea for a while. In fact, he started looking for a suitable place for his breakthrough ten years ago. It's been more than eight years since the monitoring was here.

After confirming that there would indeed be no danger here, Lu Qing would choose to break through here.

Of course, there will still be some necessary arrangements.

For example, Lu Qing successively arranged some formations here one after another to protect himself from the aura of the breakthrough, and his clone would also lurk nearby as protection when he broke through.

A guardian who is almost invincible in the Yuan Infant Period is enough to deal with most of the unexpected situations. Unless the opponent at the level of the law phase is killed, the clone really can't be opposed.

But the level of law in this world, not to mention the number of two hands, but at least they are all big people. Wandering around here and discovering Lu Qing through the formation, the probability is too small.

He's here to break through, and he can guarantee that no one knows.

After entering the formation and opening the effects of concealment and protection, he took out the materials one by one and began his own breakthrough path.

......

The Dharma level is the last step of the second major stage of the spiritual path.

Condense the power, build the core of strength in the body, and achieve the golden pill; the golden pill transforms, fuses the essence and spirit, forms the primordial infant, and forms another self; the primordial infant gradually grows and touches a certain limit, so that it not only provides power in the body, but can really manifest outside, and even replace the physical body, forming a powerful combat power, then this is the Dharma phase.

From the first layer to the ninth peak of the Yuan infancy, the process is the process of a baby growing up. At the first level, it is really like a born baby, and in the middle stage, it is like a grown child, although it is much older, but it is still childish; in the later stage, even at the peak, if it is released or can be seen, it is almost no different from the appearance of the monk himself, except that the original infant is a pure energy body, and it is very fragile.

And when it comes to the Dharma phase, it is to leap in the other direction.

The first step for Lu Qing to do was to bring the Yuan Ying out of the dantian, integrate it with his own body, and further polish and condense the divine soul, true yuan, and physical body.

This step is not too dangerous, as long as you are at the peak of Yuanying and polish your cultivation and realm relatively completely, you will not encounter too many difficulties.

However, this step will be more time-consuming, and it is a step that will not turn back.

This first step is essentially a preliminary preparation for the formation of the Dharma Phase, and it is irreversible.

It took Lu Qing four months to complete this step.

At this time, the Yuan Infant in his dantian was gone. His divine soul, his physical body, and the primordial infant that represented the source of his power were all blended together.

In other words, now there is no difference between his physical body and Yuan Ying, and they are all blended together.

And the next step, the risk will start to arise.

A large amount of external aura—which was actually provided by the system—was inhaled by his body, and this speed was simply more than ten times that of ordinary cultivation.

Theoretically speaking, with such a huge force, it is not a big problem in a short period of time, and it can last for a long time, even a monk at the peak of the Yuan Infant will not be able to withstand it, and he will not be able to withstand being blown up.

But at the moment, Lu Qing's state is no problem. The complete combination of the Yuan Infant and the physical body made his bearing capacity skyrocket many, many times.

This is already the initial form of the Dharma phase.

Without such endurance, how could a Dharma Aspect Cultivator unfold that Heaven and Earth Dharma Aspect Body to fight?

However, as the force carried by the body exceeded the limit many, many times more, the so-called characteristic of opening the bow without turning back was once again revealed.

In the process of Yuanying Monk breaking through to the Dharma Phase, at this point, there is absolutely no room for repentance. Once defeated, such a huge amount of power erupted and was definitely not something that the monk himself could withstand.

In fact, a large number of treasures to assist in the breakthrough are helping to do this: to help the monk better control this force, so that these forces can stay obediently in the body, accept the monk's mobilization, and don't mess around.

This step, constantly drawing in power from the outside world, is essentially to lay a solid foundation for the body of the Dharma Phase, until a certain baseline is reached.

It's a 'baseline', but it's a very, very high standard. When the vast majority of monks were still far, far from this baseline, they could no longer hold on.

In fact, this is also the biggest difficulty.

Before reaching the baseline of satisfying the true formation of the Dharma Phase's body, all the Yuan Infant Cultivators who were not fully prepared and whose strength was actually not up to the mark would fail here.

If the means of preserving life are in place, the treasures prepared are reliable enough, and the depth of strength tempering is not high enough, they may still be able to export most of their strength through external forces when they fail, so as to save their lives. But despite this, after such a failure, the body and the infant will be irreversibly damaged.

This will result in the monk never having a chance to break through again.

For Lu Qing, there is nothing wrong with this.

He barely felt much pressure, but as time went on, he felt more and more power being channeled into his body, tempering his unformed Dharma Phase.

Due to the special features of the Taishang Sutra and the original holy body, Lu Qing's speed of absorbing external forces was much faster than that of ordinary monks, and coupled with the almost unlimited supply of spiritual energy provided by the system, this speed would be even higher.

According to Lu Qing's collection of various classics, especially the various materials collected by Li Shiwen in order to prepare for the breakthrough of the Fa Xiang, Lu Qing can see that the time required for this step to be completed is estimated to take a year and months.

But in fact, only three months after starting this step, he had already tempered the Dharma phase body blank to that qualified baseline.

Theoretically, Lu Qing is able to start the next step at this time, that is, the final step of achieving the Dharma Phase: completely explode and unfold all the power contained in the Dharma Phase's body, and this outbreak and expansion must be carried out in an orderly and controlled manner.

Of course, the danger of making this step is also great. Many Yuanying cultivators, being able to accommodate so much power in their bodies are already the limit. If you want to break out again? You have to control the outbreak? That really can't be controlled.

The remaining half of the people who are already well prepared usually fall this step as well.

Lu Qing felt that he would not have this problem. When it comes to the baseline, he is still so comfortable, and the expansion and outbreak will not be too much of a problem.

However, he had actually thought about this beforehand.

It would be too embarrassing to have a super-divine product technique like the 'Taishang Sutra' and a super-top-level talent with multiple top-level spiritual roots and spiritual bodies such as the 'Primordial Holy Body'.

He didn't plan to explode and forge a Dharma Body at this time.

Since there is still a large degree of spare strength, Lu Qing is ready to take this opportunity to cast his law body more solidly, which will of course be of great benefit in the future.

So, he continued to gather his strength, preparing to try to break through until he felt a little struggling.

Of course, he doesn't push himself too far. If you play big, you can't control it in the end, and you break down, and it's a big joke.

......

When Lu Qing was in no one in the East China Sea, making a breakthrough in his own law, an incident occurred in the Qi Kingdom in the south.

In the capital of Qi State, that is, in Jeju Jidu, the great Qi minister, the ruling Choi Jae-moon, with an undisguised gloomy face, rode the car of Pegasus and left the country.

The Kong family, the lord of Qi, has a control over Great Qi, in essence, relying on many families to complete. The political structure of the Qi State, if you compare it with the Yan State, although there are also some sects and local cultivation forces in various places, but in general, these sects and small forces are all subject to the Great Qi court.

The imperial court, on the other hand, is controlled by the family.

This is a bit similar to the Yan Kingdom in the era of the Li Dynasty.

In the past, the Li Dynasty, in addition to the huge influence of the Yunxiao Sect, within the imperial court, was basically a system under the leadership of the Li family.

And the State of Qi has gone one step further in this form, the imperial family of Kong is almost like a formal lord, and the real power is the major families below, who almost completely control the government.

And among these families, the most noble status is naturally the Cui family.

They have a Dharma aspect in their family, and that's the most important factor.

Ten years ago, Cui Qing died on the front line of the Wei State, which was of course a bolt from the blue for the Qi State, and even more so for the Cui family.

Choi Jae-moon is the patriarch of the Cui clan and the spokesperson of Cui Qing, and after Cui Qing's death ten years ago, he really became the ruler of the Cui clan.

In the past ten years, he has worked hard to maintain the authority of the Cui clan in the Qi country. Although it is definitely not as good as before, under his leadership, at least it is still the largest family in the Qi country.

And most importantly, as the ruler of Great Qi, after the huge military defeat of Great Qi, he is also trying to maintain the interests of the entire country of Great Qi.

As soon as Cui Qing died, the wolves around him were equivalent to having no last scruples, and they couldn't wait one by one.

This is the case with the traditional old rival Wei State, although they are clearly prohibited from large-scale invasion of Qi State because of the contract with Dayan, especially forbidding monks above Yuan Ying to do it. But Wei State can't really be so disciplined, they are still on the border, constantly stirring up trouble and encroaching. If it weren't for the fact that they lost more than Qi in the war ten years ago, because of the demon chaos, in addition to not dying in the law, their encroachment on Qi would have been even more aggressive in the past ten years.

And Da Yan, although he restricts the Wei State, it does not mean that they are good people. Yan Guo used Yuzhou and half of Qingzhou as a springboard, and it was also eroding the territory of Daqi. In the past, they only cut off half of Qingzhou from the Wei State, and the other half was in the hands of the Qi State, but now the entire Qingzhou has fallen into the hands of the Yan State.

The state of Wu in the south, even if it does not have a direct border with them, is still eyeing them. In terms of cross-sea transactions, Qi has suffered countless losses in the past ten years, and has lost an unknown number of benefits......

These things made Cui Zaiwen, the deacon, exhausted and angry.

Of course, he knew that the root cause of all this was that the Qi State had lost the only Dharma Minister. If you want to solve this problem, it's also very simple—come up with a new Dharma Phase, and everything will be much easier.

And this candidate, in his opinion, can only be himself.

He is the peak of Yuanying, and the accumulation is not too bad. It is indeed a bit risky to make a breakthrough in the law phase now, but as long as the power of the whole country is supplied, there is still a probability of success.

He's willing to gamble on it.

20 million resources are not enough, just take 40 million and smash it!

Under the huge sense of crisis, he felt that he could no longer delay. During these ten years, it was supposed to be a decade for the Qi State to recuperate after the war, but after ten years, not only did they not regain blood, but became weaker and weaker.

However, the feedback he received from the major powerful families in Qi made him extremely disappointed.

They did not explicitly say it, or even verbally supported him in making a breakthrough, but when it came to specific interests, they took care of him one by one.

There is a huge resource gap, although the Cui family is strong, but there is no way to supply it with the power of one family. Many families, even including the Kong clan of the royal family, are reluctant to come up with many things.

This made him extremely angry!

He can understand the thoughts of these families: Finally, your Cui family's Dharma Minister died, and now everyone can sit on an equal footing, and supporting you Cui Zaiwen to become the new Dharma Minister, isn't it equivalent to inviting another big Buddha on his head?

But...... At this time, they are still thinking about the internal struggle for power and profit, could it be that after the Qi State is completely eroded in the future, will they have a good life?

In his opinion, he was already not afraid of life and death, and was ready to break through the law at a huge risk, and these people were actually dragging their feet!

"Stupid pig!" he scolded as he sat on top of the carriage.

Today, he had some exchanges with representatives of many families in front of the palace for the last time, and the final result still disappointed him.

So, he left Jidu in anger and prepared to return to his hometown Dongzhou.

"You don't support it, do you think I have no choice?"

He thought so in his head.

He also hesitated, the secret place in Dongzhou was extremely evil and not a good place, but it was also his last chance to break through.

As for what will happen then...... Choi Jae-wen can't take care of it anymore.

No matter what, let's become the Dharma Minister first!

It's late, but it's still done!
