The Opened Jade Register Heavenly Book
Cultivation is not something that can be achieved overnight. This sentence was instilled into Yang Tianyou's mind by the Yang Lineage Elder when he first started cultivating immortality. After breaking through to the Foundation Establishment, his understanding of this sentence became even more profound.
Because of his profound foundation in the Qi Refining Period, Yang Tianyou's meridian Foundation Establishment was completed as soon as Spiritual Transformation broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage. He only needed to refine his Spiritual Power to a certain level before his cultivation would naturally advance to the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, saving him a lot of time.
Of course, this process will not be short, after all, the refinement and tempering of Spiritual Power is also crucial and cannot be taken lightly.
After understanding his physical condition, Yang Tianyou focused his mind on his Sea of Consciousness.
Ancient, profound, and boundless, the Jade Register Heavenly Book, seemingly containing all the secrets of the world, slowly turned its pages amidst swirling rays of Azure Light.
These streaks of Azure Light were formed from the Qi of Creation. When Yang Tianyou broke through, not only he himself, but the Jade Register Heavenly Book also actively absorbed a large amount of the Qi of Creation.
Yang Tianyou's breakthrough attracted a large amount of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, and correspondingly, the amount of Qi of Creation was also extremely abundant.
However, attracting enough Qi of Creation doesn't mean you can absorb it all.
Generally speaking, when an ordinary cultivator breaks through to the Foundation Establishment, they can only absorb two or three strands of Qi of Creation.
If one is at the First-Class Foundation Establishment, and has a good foundation and resources, they can absorb four or five strands of Qi of Creation, or even more.
After Yang Tianyou successfully broke through, he absorbed nine strands of Qi of Creation, which are now dormant in his Dantian, waiting for him to absorb and refine them.
However, compared to the amount absorbed from the Jade Register Heavenly Book of Heaven, the nine strands of Qi of Creation that Yang Tianyou absorbed seemed pitiful.
Because this treasure absorbed over a hundred strands of Qi of Creation with a single breath, transforming them into the streaks of azure light surrounding the book, which made Yang Tianyou's eyes gleam with envy.
However, after trying, he discovered that he couldn't use these Qi of Creation at all, and could only watch helplessly as they swirled around the Heavenly Book.
At first, Yang Tianyou thought the Jade Register Heavenly Book was meant to absorb the Qi of Creation, but he later discovered that it wasn't.
The Jade Register Heavenly Book seem to be refining these Qi of Creation in an unknown way.
As time passed, those hundred-plus cyan rays of light gradually became ancient and natural, with patterns resembling the Earth Vein interwoven upon them, radiating a unique Daoist charm that dazzled and captivated people.
Buzz!
Finally, the first page of the Jade Register Heavenly Book was completely turned, and the more than one hundred rays of azure light surged into the page like dragons returning to the sea.
Wow!
A warm, white light emanated from the Jade Register Heavenly Book. This light was all-pervasive, spreading from top to bottom, instantly reaching every corner and every particle of the body.
Pain! Excruciating pain!
The white light, though seemingly gentle, brought a pain akin to hellish torture when it fell upon the body.
Yang Tianyou's face turned pale instantly, large beads of sweat dripped to the ground like rain, his teeth clenched so hard they crunched, and his muscles, Skin Membrane, and internal organs turned bright red, as if he were being burned in a furnace.
With a thud, he finally lost his ability to maintain his cross-legged sitting posture and fell to the ground, curling up as he struggled to resist the onslaught of excruciating pain.
After an unknown amount of time, Yang Tianyou slowly woke up. The excruciating pain receded like a tide, replaced by a sublime and wonderful feeling, a feeling of ethereal lightness as if walking on clouds, which was vastly different from the unbearable agony he had experienced before.
Call!
Staggering and struggling to his feet, Yang Tianyou leaned on the table with his left hand for a while to regain his strength. Only then did he sit down again, sensing the changes in his body.
His cultivation level hasn't changed!
Physical condition, unchanged!
My Spiritual Awareness has increased!
After examining everything, Yang Tianyou did not notice any change in his cultivation level, but the refinement of his Spiritual Awareness had increased considerably.
Combined with that feeling of inner and outer elevation emanating from the depths of my soul, could it be... the soul?
Yang Tianyou's Shen Yi lit up, and the more he thought about it, the more convinced he was that his guess was correct.
The soul is the true origin of all living beings, containing one of the greatest mysteries of the world. Legend has it that if a cultivator can thoroughly understand the secrets of the soul, becoming an immortal on the spot is just a matter of course.
In addition, Void things such as comprehension and Wisdom are deeply connected with the soul. Spiritual Awareness is a shallow manifestation of the Soul Power, and an increase in Spiritual Awareness is certainly closely related to changes in the soul.
Thinking of this, Yang Tianyou hurriedly examined his soul.
Deep within the Sea of Consciousness, beneath the Jade Register Heavenly Book, a golden sphere the size of an infant's fist slowly rotated, surrounded by wisps of colorless and transparent Spiritual Awareness, like loyal guardians.
This golden ball is Yang Tianyou's soul, or more accurately, his True Spirit; it is the true core of his soul.
After becoming Cultivator, the previously invisible soul manifests in the Sea of Consciousness, and the core True Spirit is also revealed. Subsequently, as cultivation improves and the level of life continues to Bloodline Metamorphosis, the True Spirit will also slowly grow.
Normally, the True Spirit of a cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining is only the size of a soybean. Yang Tianyou's True Spirit is probably a bit larger because he has lived two lives, but it is still only the size of a fingertip.
However, he has only just broken through to the Foundation Establishment...
"So big!"
Looking at the soul True Spirit before him, which was the size of an infant's fist, Yang Tianyou was shaken, and then an uncontrollable surge of joy welled up inside him.
The True Spirit is the origin of the soul, and the Soul Power originates from the True Spirit.
As we all know, the growth of a True Spirit is the most difficult. Apart from the natural enhancement through breakthroughs in realms and the elevation of life levels, only some extremely precious soul treasures can enhance the True Spirit Strength, and these things are all rare in the world.
Under the white light of the Jade Register Heavenly Book, Yang Tianyou's True Spirit Strength has soared, far surpassing that of ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivators, and the benefits it contains are immeasurable.
As the turmoil in his heart gradually subsided, Yang Tianyou turned his attention to the Jade Register Heavenly Book.
At this moment, the first page of this priceless treasure that had accompanied him through two lifetimes was finally turned.
Flowers, birds, insects, fish, mountains, rivers, sun, moon, stars, wind, rain, thunder, lightning, swords, spears, halberds... scene after scene changes, ultimately transforming into a peculiar character, "Tao"!
The moment he saw this character, Yang Tianyou automatically understood its meaning. It was clearly the word "Tao".
"Road..."
Softly murmuring, Yang Tianyou became lost in thought, completely absorbed in the moment.
Buzz!
As time and space shifted and the stars moved, Yang Tianyou found himself in an unfamiliar space.
This is a Sky-Piercing Giant Peak with no end in sight. It stands on the earth, overlooking the four corners of the Ba Huang. An unparalleled domineering aura emanates from it, which is awe-inspiring.
Rumble!
Endless Magnetism Power converged into lightning, which gathered into a vast expanse and suddenly fell from the peak. Due to the density of the lightning, it looked like a sea of lightning pouring down, magnificent and spectacular!
Witnessing all this, it would be a lie to say Yang Tianyou wasn't shocked. However, he didn't know what use this Sky-Piercing Giant Peak was. Was it just for his enjoyment?
A hint of doubt had just flashed through his mind when suddenly everything went black before his eyes. When he opened them again, he was already at the foot of the giant peak.
At such close range, Yang Tianyou finally noticed the difference: this Sky-Piercing Giant Peak was actually made entirely of metal, with various kinds of Spirit Gold piled and overlapped together, shining brightly in front of him. No wonder it generated such a large amount of Magnetism Power.
However, Yang Tianyou wasn't thinking about lightning at the moment.
Upon seeing the Spirit Gold scattered everywhere, his eyes instantly turned bloodshot, and his first thought was, "How much is this giant peak worth?"
My second thought was, how do I bring this back to the Lineage?
Yang Tianyou always considered himself a simple and honest person who acted on his impulses. As he was thinking, he was about to take out the Twin Blades and cut off a piece of Spirit Gold to take away, completely ignoring that it was a projection of his mind, not a physical entity.
Surprisingly, as Yang Tianyou extended his right hand, he actually managed to retrieve the Twin Blades.
Only then, feeling the familiar touch in his palm, did he snap out of his daze, wondering, "Where am I?"
