Chapter 378: Cultivation Breakthrough, New Soul Body Discovery
In just a few short days, many things had changed drastically, and the source of it all was the appearance of Taiyin Heaven.
The Cyan Yuan Sect had already sent many disciples, but they stopped sending more. Rumor had it that entering Taiyin Heaven had specific requirements, including a cultivation restriction.
Therefore, even though Taiyin Heaven was relatively close to Qing State, the Cyan Yuan Sect sent fewer disciples than they did to the Silver State Secret Realm last time.
Medicine Hall Master Gu An had also gone to Taiyin Heaven. Otherwise, Yang Chan would have been able to get more information from him.
After all, although Han Bingyu went to great lengths to investigate, the information she could unearth was limited due to her status. She simply couldn’t access the more secretive, high-level intelligence.
After Han Bingyu arrived at Yuanqing Courtyard, she hadn’t left for several days.
Yang Chan had also sounded out Princess Lan Yue and confirmed she was unaware that he had ever left his study. She still believed he was in closed-door cultivation.
She knew Yang Chan’s cultivation was deeper than it seemed, so she assumed he was in seclusion to achieve a breakthrough. Wanting to avoid disturbing him, she kept her distance.
Although Yang Chan didn’t eat the food she prepared, she wasn’t surprised. She knew that Yang Chan had refined Essence Grain Pills, a type of elixir that could replace food, so he didn’t need to eat at all.
He had acted this way during previous seclusions, so it was perfectly normal.
After confirming all this, Yang Chan felt much more at ease. ’No one knows I went to a special space inside Taiyin Heaven and even obtained a fortuitous opportunity there.’
’The opportunities I’ve gathered so far are just one part of it. Refining the Black Dragon into an Artifact Spirit, with its life and death now in my hands—that’s a massive opportunity in itself.’
’The Black Dragon must know a great deal. It has a wealth of cultivation experience and probably even knows many Cultivation Techniques. All of this will be a huge help to me.’
...
「Inside the secret room of the study.」
Yang Chan sat cross-legged, adjusting the aura around his body. The tempering of his Fifth Lungs and Spleen was nearly complete, and he was just one step away from breaking through to the Sixth Lungs and Spleen.
Once midnight arrived and his Potential Points refreshed, he would be able to break through.
If it weren’t for the seven days he spent in Taiyin Heaven, which reduced his Potential Point gains and thus greatly slowed the progress of his Flood Dragon Demon Breath Method, his cultivation would have broken through long ago.
After returning to the Cyan Yuan Sect, Yang Chan didn’t refine any new elixirs. Instead, he was using the various medicines he had prepared before, which were enough to last him a long time.
As for the Spirit Medicines inside the Profound Yin Mala, Yang Chan was in no hurry to refine them. He would wait for the Cyan Yuan Sect to send back the Spirit Medicines obtained from Taiyin Heaven, and then he would mix his in with them to refine them all together.
Furthermore, refining those Top Level Spirit Medicines now would be too wasteful. He planned to wait until his Alchemy Ability improved before refining them himself.
Although Princess Lan Yue might be able to refine them successfully, he didn’t fully trust her and certainly wouldn’t entrust such an important task to her. Besides, refining them himself would also improve his own Alchemy Ability.
’Only knowledge I master is truly mine; the same goes for the abilities I command.’
Therefore, Yang Chan was in no hurry. He knew that eventually, he would use everything on himself, causing his Daily Potential Point Collection to evolve once more.
"Here they are!"
Yang Chan looked at the 8.0 Potential Points that had just refreshed on the panel. This stable number was very reassuring.
Having experienced the constantly decreasing Potential Points in that special space in Taiyin Heaven, he was naturally very satisfied with this number.
However, at this moment, Yang Chan directly spent six Potential Points on the Flood Dragon Demon Breath Method. Instantly, his Flood Dragon Demon Breath Method rose to 81% of Tier Three Mastery.
At the same time, his body instantly completed the tempering of the Fifth Lungs and Spleen, shattering the final barrier with ease.
For others, the final tempering of the Six Viscera was a lengthy process. It involved strengthening every last part, a meticulous, time-consuming process akin to finding and filling every tiny gap. But for Yang Chan, it was absurdly easy.
As the Potential Points vanished, his cultivation level rose accordingly.
When his cultivation broke through, his strength, speed, and five senses all received a boost. This was an overall enhancement, which Yang Chan had experienced before, so he was used to it.
Immediately after the breakthrough, he began to master this new surge of power. Any increase in strength had to be fully controlled before it could be considered his own.
Yang Chan’s figure flickered about the secret room as he adapted to his increased power. However, he soon discovered that he was mastering it much faster this time.
What normally would have taken some time to fully adapt to, he now managed in the span of a single cup of tea.
’I didn’t expect forming a Soul Body to have this kind of benefit. What a pleasant surprise.’
Yang Chan quickly understood why. Now that he had formed a Soul Body, his Spiritual Power was greatly enhanced, which in turn accelerated his ability to master the changes in his physical body.
The benefits of his Spiritual Power’s evolution weren’t limited to perceiving a different world; there were many other unexpected advantages as well.
’Since I’m mastering this power so quickly, I won’t have to pull an all-nighter.’
Yang Chan mused to himself.
Previously, every time his power increased, he had to spend time pulling an all-nighter to master it, which wasn’t ideal for him.
Yang Chan disliked pulling all-nighters, so this was certainly good news.
As was his custom, he allocated the two remaining Potential Points to his Tai Chi Health Cultivation Skill and Sword Master profession. Now that he was back in the Cyan Yuan Sect, his point allocation had returned to normal.
Not long after, Yang Chan returned to his room and went to sleep.
...
"Supreme Elder, did you see the inheritance inside Taiyin Heaven?"
Sect Leader Liu Xuan of the Cyan Yuan Sect asked hurriedly as he saw the Supreme Elder, whose cultivation was at the Inner Refining of the Five Viscera realm, emerge from the curtain of light.
"The inheritance within Taiyin Heaven has an age limit. I’m too old; I couldn’t enter."
"Anyone over the age of sixty is ejected immediately."
A bitter smile appeared on the Supreme Elder’s face.
He had ventured further into Taiyin Heaven than Gu An and the others, but was still forced to halt.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to proceed, but that he was forcibly ejected. His age exceeded sixty years, so he didn’t meet the trial’s requirements.
Although he had obtained some fortuitous encounters from within the curtain of light, the results fell far short of their expectations.
"That’s truly a pity."
"If only I had delayed my breakthrough."
Hearing this, a look of regret crossed Liu Xuan’s face once more. If only he had known, he wouldn’t have rushed his breakthrough.
He was still under sixty, so he would have met the condition.
If his cultivation level hadn’t been a restriction, he was certain he could have obtained many opportunities, perhaps even the Martial Saint’s inheritance or the chance to break through to the Martial Saint realm he had hoped for.
"The major Holy Lands have all made their move," Gu An said, offering a word of comfort from the side. "We should count ourselves lucky we managed to withdraw from Taiyin Heaven unscathed."
He had also gained some opportunities within Taiyin Heaven, though he hadn’t made it very far. Since he had already entered once, he wouldn’t get another chance.
This time, entry was limited to one chance per person. Anyone who tried to force their way in is already dead.
