Upon hearing this, Nash asked again, "So, how many minor realms are there in your tribtion?"


    "Four-early stage, middle stage,te stage, and peak!"


    "That''s strange. Could it be that theter cultivation methodbines Astral Projection and Divine Separation into one realm-the Divine Sojourn Realm? And perhaps they used the Nine Realms of Tribtion topensate for theck of those two realms in the front?" Nash muttered to himself.


    "Hey, Nash, what are you talking about?" Ryan asked, leaning in.


    "Nothing!" Nash chuckled. "Can you control the power inside you now? I''ll take you out for a spin."


    "Sure!" Ryan''s eyes lit up. "I was actually thinking of trying it out myselfter!"


    Nash took Ryan to the balcony and then leaped into the sky.


    When he reached about 500 meters high, he nced down at the ground.


    Just as Nash lowered his head for a moment, a dark shadow shed before his eyes.


    "Ah... Damn it... I can''t stop!"


    Ryan soared to over 2,000 meters high.


    Nash wielded the Nine Dragons Sword and flew to catch up with Ryan.


    "Ah... Fuck... I''m gonna die!" Ryan could not fly and was plummeting from over 2,000 meters high.Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org.


    Nash grabbed Ryan''s arm and brought him to a deste desert.


    Ryanpletely unleashed himself, performing a set of profound and infinite boxing techniques ording to the methods in his mind. As he punched, dragon and tiger shadows appeared around him. Nash threw his Nine Dragons Sword over and eximed, "Pup, try out your Extreme Emperor Tyrant de!"


    Ryan caught the sword and tried to infuse it with his spiritual power, but he was rejected. He realized it was a spirit-bound weapon, so he demonstrated the de techniques without using spiritual power. The Extreme Emperor Tyrant de was incredibly fierce, like a raging flood and ferocious beast with each strike. The killing intent rose like a dark mist, and the chilling air could move souls to tears. Despite using a sword, Nash sensed a terrifying sense of the Path''s force.


    "Pup, I''ll spar with you!" Nash shouted and conjured a seven-foot-long spear in his hand.


    "Haha... Come on..."


    Ryan''s spirit was resolute as he employed the eight techniques of the Extreme Emperor Tyrant de with his sword.


    With a move that could split a mountain, his momentum was akin to a fierce tiger descending a mountain.


    Nash''s spear technique was bold and vigorous, like a dragon crossing a river. It swallowed mountains and rivers with its momentum.


    Both of them refrained from using


    spiritual power, yet their skilled


    moves ignited a fervent battle. It raised clouds of dust and stirred up waves in the lonely desert. It was not until midnight that the two of themy exhausted on a sand dune.


    "Life is but a dream. My whole life is just like a fucking dream!


    "For 28 years, I''ve been drifting aimlessly, watching even my most beloved woman leave. But now, after breaking through, I''ve undergone a transformation!


    "Nash, why do you think I didn''t receive the inheritance earlier?"


    Ryan gazed at the starless night sky with myriad emotions.


    "Those who cultivate often defy the heavens! People will always find a


    way out in adversity. Only the


    life and death can the mind be elevated. Only after breaking through will one understand rebirth!"


    Nash rested his hands behind his head as he spoke.


    "Nash, do you think with our abilities, we should join the army and serve the country?"


    Ryan propped himself up on one elbow with his hand supporting his face. "The greatest of heroes serve their country and people. I''ve had the dream of being a soldier since I was a child!"


    Nash smirked. "Isn''t your dream to marry a beautiful and wealthy woman and reach the pinnacle of life?"


    Ryan chuckled. "Isn''t that dream about toe true? I can''t just bury these abilities, can I?"


    "Young man, your enlightenment ismendable. Very good, it''s worthy of praise! Then how about joining my Celestial Dragon Squadron?" Nash''s lips curled into a smile.


    Of course, he would never refuse the talent that came knocking on his door.


    "The Celestial Dragon Squadron?" Ryan was full of doubt. "What organization is this?"


    "It''s an official organization for the country and the people..." Nash told Ryan about the official forces in the country.


    He also learned that Nash was themander of the Celestial Dragon Squadron.
