Chapter 123 - 123 99 Divine Barrier Limit Borrowing Fire to Preserve Life Second Update!

123: Chapter 99 Divine Barrier Limit, Borrowing Fire to Preserve Life (Second Update!) 123: Chapter 99 Divine Barrier Limit, Borrowing Fire to Preserve Life (Second Update!) Secretary Huo, who was checking the whereabouts records in the General Affairs Office, dialed the leader’s phone.

“It seems that he has received substantial benefits from the Qin Family; otherwise, he shouldn’t be acting recklessly at this juncture.”

Chen Ruofu’s tone was calm and unsurprised:

“Don’t treat the Qin Family of Yan City as mere ordinary businessmen and regular entrepreneurs.

Qin Xie was originally from a collateral branch; it was only later that he rose to power, recognized his ancestors, entered the ancestral hall, and got into the family genealogical records.

They have been making money in any way possible these years, offering it all diligently, just to gain a share of the pioneer resources allocated to the Qin Family.

Qin Renying, that old guy, is quite ambitious and ruthless, like a vicious serpent that devours everything without leaving bones.

You keep an eye on Gao Haipeng.

If he shows any intention to harm young Qin, capture him directly and see if you can trace back to the Qin Family.”

Secretary Huo covered the phone’s microphone, asked someone to prepare a vehicle, and track Gao Haipeng, then said:

“Gao Haipeng is a Specialized Level Seventh Rank.

Although he hasn’t succeeded in earning the title of Martial Artist, he has advanced the Operations Department’s signature martial arts ‘Great Strength Vajra Palm’ to the ninth level; his combat power is not weak.

If you want to capture him alive, I’m afraid it will be quite challenging.”

Chen Ruofu understood the implication in Secretary Huo’s words and responded decisively:

“If Gao Haipeng insists on confronting the Inspection Department, I authorize you to execute him on the spot.

Regarding young Qin accepting He Lanchan’s inheritance and cultivating the ‘Void Meditation Technique’ into beginner level, I’ve already submitted the report to Central City.

I believe Heng Province Martial Arts Association has received the news.

Next, the Dongxia Martial Arts Association will also be informed.

Young Qin is a future government project in the Tai’an Metropolitan Area; anyone with designs on him is sabotaging my career plans, Chen Ruofu!”

Secretary Huo sensed the leader’s determination and his expression became stern:

“Understood!

I’ll take the team over right now!”

He hung up the phone.

Secretary Huo looked solemnly at Old Xu, with whom he usually has a good relationship:

“Old Xu, I have a piece of credit for you, do you want it?”

Old Xu asked doubtfully:

“What credit?”

Secretary Huo intentionally kept him guessing and merely said:

“Call the Operations Department of the Inspection Department right now, and gather all personnel above the supervisory level.

Then select a few who don’t get along with Gao Haipeng; be quick, and don’t delay.”

Old Xu was surprised and hesitated:

“Is it necessary to make it this big?

The General Affairs Office indeed has this authority to summon the inspectors from the other four departments, but without a legitimate reason, there will definitely be complaints later…”

Old Xu stopped halfway through his sentence.

He couldn’t have reached the position of deputy director of the General Affairs Office if he were stupid.

Everyone knows that Secretary Huo represents Minister Chen.

He’s giving instructions openly and not avoiding others.

It’s presumed that he’s acting under Minister Chen’s authority.

“Got it, thanks, Secretary Huo!

I’ll get it done right away!”

Old Xu gritted his teeth and thought to himself:

“After offending the minister yesterday, I’ll probably be thrown into the precinct today.

Old Gao might face severe punishment!”

…

…

When Qin Shi arrived at the dormitory building behind the Sons and Daughters Ninth Middle School, dusk had begun to fall, the brilliant clouds stained red by the setting sun lost their colors, resembling ink falling into the twilight haze.

“You came, but why bring so many things?”

Old Liang heard the knock on the door, opened it, and seeing his disciple, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Then his brows furrowed slightly, as if sensing something.

He carefully scrutinized Qin Shi’s eyes and then asked in astonishment:

“Shi’er, have you stepped halfway into the Divine Barrier Limit?”

Qin Shi did not hide and said earnestly:

“Probably.

Anyway, my head felt as if it was struck heavily, then I had an epiphany.”

Old Liang couldn’t help but take a deep breath, once again amazed at his extraordinary luck in finding a prodigy.

Among the Seven Great Limits of the flesh, Tendon, Bone, Skin, and Membrane are not very difficult to break through.

The requirements are merely a strong physique, perseverance, and the ability to endure hardships.

These are still within the capabilities of humans.

But Divine Barrier, Qi Barrier, and Strength Barrier ascend to the mystical realm of mind intent, with principles of nature that are enigmatic.

Especially the Divine Barrier.

It revolves around ‘enlightenment.’

As for what to ‘enlighten’ and ‘how to enlighten,’ no one can explain clearly.

In any case, one needs to grasp something, and then internalize and sublimate it.

“My master was stuck at the Divine Barrier Limit for twelve years, unable to cross over, eventually wasting half his life.

Even my grandmaster only managed to break the Qi Barrier and Strength Barrier, unable to kick open the door to the Divine Barrier.”

Old Liang’s emotions were complex; what the three generations of Hong Sheng couldn’t achieve, his disciple managed as easily as eating or drinking.

He couldn’t help but feeling like his long-desired goddess was taken home just by a beckon.

“Come inside.”

Old Liang took the milk and cigarettes, grumbling:

“You should’ve kept the money to buy nutritional paste instead of bringing gifts.

I originally intended to help you break through the Bone Barrier Limit, allowing your tendons and bones to resonate together.

Tendons like a great dragon, bones like a fierce tiger, their union would easily break forty points of life force.

Never expected you to step halfway into the Divine Barrier Limit ahead of time…

I really don’t have much experience in this.”

Old Liang muttered while sighing; in his generation, presumably, no one had broken through the Divine Barrier Limit.

“No worries, Liang Master.

From now on, Hong Sheng will have someone who breaks the Divine Barrier.

Then I’ll write down my experiences and pass them down!”

Qin Shi raised his head, exhibiting the confidence of youth.

Since the ancestors couldn’t complete the journey, he would continue it!

“Good, good!

Shi’er, what an inspiring statement!

Your heart Qi is strong!”

Old Liang was initially stunned, then clapped and laughed, feeling very gratified.

With such a disciple, what more could he ask for?

What his grandmaster and master couldn’t experience, he eventually enjoyed!

“The Divine Barrier Limit focuses on nourishing the spirit.

According to those masters who cultivate the spiritual, a complete spirit breeds Qi and Dao nature.

As the saying goes, those who gain the spirit thrive, those who lose it perish.

In the Martial Arts World of the Old Era, they believed ‘a vigorous spirit strengthens the body; a diminished spirit weakens it; the spirit preserves life, and its loss leads to death.’

Ancient cultivation techniques also regarded ‘essence, Qi, and spirit’ as the three treasures.”

After holding back for a while, Old Liang finally revealed something, maintaining his dignity and face as a master.

“Since ancient times, those who managed to break the Divine Barrier Limit are rare.

From the few words left behind, we only know they developed a ‘Sea of Consciousness,’ allowing the spirit to inhabit the ‘Inner World.’

The Inner World is very mysterious, not only reflecting the external world truthfully but also enhancing enlightenment and cultivation techniques.

It greatly boosts efficiency.

Possessing the Inner World illuminates ‘wisdom,’ dramatically improving one’s comprehension and establishing extraordinary talent.”

Sea of Consciousness?

Inner World?

Qin Shi pondered; it seemed he already had these things?

Combat Retrospect’s Consciousness Space?

Could it be considered the Sea of Consciousness?

And then the upgraded Palace of Thought, wasn’t it the nascent form of the Inner World?

Monument Panel, forever the divine!

“Liang Master, I’ve only stepped halfway into it.

Is there a way to truly stand inside and break through the Divine Barrier Limit?”

Qin Shi made a studious and inquisitive expression.

“I vaguely recall from my grandmaster that to break the Divine Barrier, one needs to overcome the ‘Heart Barrier,’ remove the ‘shackles,’ and pass the ‘Prison Barrier.’

Old Liang answered ambiguously, planning to refer to his grandmaster and master’s manuscripts for more insight once Qin Shi left.

Heart Barrier, Shackles, Prison Barrier.

Qin Shi frowned slightly, realizing he might have already overcome the Heart Barrier and removed the shackles, leaving only the Prison Barrier unpassed.

“What does Prison Barrier mean, Liang Master…”

He was about to ask further when Old Liang’s expression suddenly changed, his voice softening:

“Shi’er, have a seat; I’m going downstairs to buy a pack of cigarettes.”

“Oh, sure.”

Old Liang stood up slowly, supporting his limp leg.

He glanced out the window, walked out the door, and closed it behind him.

“Facing the Assassination Fist lineage, you’re trying to play stealth and surveillance, without concealing your killing intent.

Today you’ll pay homage to our grandmaster!”

Old Liang squinted, picking up the trash bag by the door, and limped downstairs.

In the dark doorway without sensor lights, Gao Haipeng, who drove here, waited quietly.

He planned to have a private, face-to-face talk with that student.

He had an electric baton tucked behind his waist and handcuffs in his pocket.

Planning to scare Qin Shi a bit if he didn’t cooperate.

Gao Haipeng was very experienced at this.

Not just poor students from Old Factory Street, even tough robbers and murderers couldn’t withstand his tricks!

As this thought emerged, his neck suddenly felt cold, as if a chilling wind blew.

He felt his limbs go cold and his heart grew uneasy.

“Who’s there!”

Gao Haipeng, being an inspector from the Operations Department with years of frontline experience, had high vigilance.

His eyes narrowed suddenly, like lightning piercing the dark corridor!

He saw an unremarkable flat-haired man standing on the stairs above, holding a trash bag and limping down.

Gao Haipeng let out a shout, and the man halted.

“Friend, my craving for cigarettes hit, can I borrow a light?”

Old Liang, who had quit smoking for a while, held a cigarette in his mouth, lifted his eyelids, and looked at Gao Haipeng’s face.

“Lend me a light, and I’ll let you go; if you don’t, leave your life behind.”
