Yang Tiankang Breaks Through to Spirit Transformation
In the southeast of the Nine Phoenix Realm lies a Perilous Land where Spatial Power intertwine. Here, the moment you take your first step, you never know where you will end up.
It could be a treasure trove of resources, or it could be a devastating Void Turbulence.
This is the Endless Abyss, full of wonders and countless fortuitous opportunities. Some rise to prominence here, earning great fame, while others, geniuses, fall here, their past glories fading away with the wind.
This is why the Endless Abyss has become one of the most popular adventure areas for cultivators of all races in the Nine Phoenix Realm.
On the rippling blue sea, Shanhai stood with his hands behind his back, golden light emanating from his pupils, gazing at the boundless black Abyss before him.
The Void Worm hummed with pleasure on his shoulder; an environment like the Endless Abyss was the ideal habitat for Spatial-Type Spirit Insects.
"Sixth Brother was in the Endless Abyss..." Shanhai murmured to himself. Although the power of Fortune could determine the location, it wouldn't be too precise unless one got close enough.
Previously, Shanhai only knew that Sixth Brother Yang Tiankang was located somewhere in the southeast of the Nine Phoenix Realm and had never moved, but he did not know that he was located in the Endless Abyss.
After all, compared to the entire Nine Phoenix Realm, the proportion of the Endless Abyss is negligible.
"Sixth Brother doesn't know his exact location in the Endless Abyss either. The spaces here are intertwined, and the sensing of Fortune is quite disturbed."
"Never mind, since we're here, we might as well go in and explore. Anyway, this place isn't some kind of dead end..."
A series of thoughts flashed through his mind, and Shanhai took a step forward, disappearing into the sea.
In a Secret Realm at the bottom of Endless Abyss, Yang Tiankang sat cross-legged, a simple, crimson longsword lying across his lap, radiating an exceptionally terrifying Sword Intent.
This is the Beacon-Fire Sword, which was forged by Sword Saint Helian Tian by collecting numerous treasures and imitating his Life-Bound Law Treasure, the "Heaven-Connecting Beacon-Fire Sword," to suppress the spatial disorder of the Endless Abyss.
Over the years, the Endless Abyss has long since stabilized. Even though Spatial Fluctuations are complex and intertwined, it no longer causes spatial collapses from time to time, devouring everything.
The Beacon-Fire Sword suppressed the core of the Endless Abyss for tens of thousands of years, and around it, a resource-rich Secret Realm gradually evolved.
Several years ago, following the instructions left by his master, Yang Tiankang successfully found the Beacon-Fire Sword. Seeing that this Secret Realm was rich in resources and Spiritual Qi, he decided to stay here to cultivate and break through to the Nascent Spirit Transformation Realm in one go.
Suddenly, Yang Tiankang, who was meditating on the Dao of Sword Dao with his eyes closed, opened them. In his pupils, two worlds rose and fell, containing everything from flowers, birds, insects, fish, mountains, and rivers to even the phantoms of Human Race, as if they were real.
His cultivation level had already reached the Nascent Soul Great Perfection Spirit Transformation stage.
"Nineteenth Younger Brother?"
Yang Tiankang frowned, pondered for a moment, and then raised his hand to release a trace of his own aura.
On the other side, after Shanhai stepped into the Endless Abyss, his vision blurred, and when his sight returned, he was already on a vast floating Island.
As far as the eye could see, there was only gray-brown soil and rocks, making it appear quite desolate.
However, the Void Worm perched on his shoulder suddenly flew excitedly in a certain direction, and Shanhai quickly followed.
The Void Worm finally stopped in front of a large mountain, its two tentacles trembling slightly, and a spatial vortex appeared before the Shanhai.
"So it's Spatial Interlayer!" Shanhai muttered to himself thoughtfully as he stepped into the vortex.
After a cup of tea, Shanhai, having returned laden with his bounty, wore a broad smile.
This Spatial Interlayer has nurtured many precious spatial resources, which explains why the Void Worms are so excited.
"It seems you still have a purpose in finding treasures in this Endless Abyss!" Shanhai said with a smile, gently stroking the smooth body of the Void Worm.
After this success, Shanhai had the Void Worm lead the way to find various treasures.
He was responsible for Detection the surrounding environment and sensing Yang Tiankang's location.
Three days later, Shanhai, having once again obtained a considerable amount of resources from a Spatial Interlayer, Shen Yi light up as he finally pinpointed Yang Tiankang's location.
With the help of both Fortune and aura, and guided by the Void Worms to avoid numerous Spatial Traps, a few days later, an endless dark void appeared before them.
Shanhai released a wisp of aura into the dark void. After a while, a crimson Sword-Ray flashed and pulled it into the Secret Realm hidden deep in the void.
When Shanhai's vision returned, Yang Tiankang's figure appeared before him.
"Sixth Brother..." At this moment, Yang Tianyou took over the body.
"Nineteenth Younger Brother, is this your clone?" Yang Tiankang stood up and asked in surprise.
"That's right, his Shanhai..." Yang Tianyou explained briefly.
Afterwards, the two sat facing each other and sipped tea. Yang Tiankang told Yang Tianyou everything he had experienced in the Nine Phoenix Realm.
"The legacy of Sword Saint Helian Tian, and the Beacon-Fire Sword —congratulations, Sixth Brother, on obtaining such a great fortuitous opportunity!" Yang Tianyou cupped his hands and smiled.
"It was just a fortuitous opportunity, nothing to worry about!" Yang Tiankang shook his head dismissively.
Yang Tianyou took out several clumps of Spirit Vein Essence and handed them to Yang Tiankang, saying, "Sixth Brother, take these resources. After refining them, you'll immediately break through to the Spirit Transformation. Since Shanhai can Dharma Protector you, you can focus on your breakthrough!"
"Didn't you say that the Lineage's Spirit Vein advancement requires these Spirit Vein Essences?" Yang Tiankang shook his head. "I can absorb Spiritual Qi to break through myself, it won't take long. You should send these back to the Lineage!"
"Just a few clusters of Fifth-Tier Low-Grade Spirit Vein Essence. It's not hard to get them, but cultivation is all about speed. You can't afford to delay!" Yang Tianyou said, stuffing the Spirit Vein Essence in his hand into Yang Tiankang's hands. The latter had no choice but to accept it.
The two brothers chatted for a long time, mostly Yang Tiankang asking questions and Yang Tianyou answering, and it was mostly about the current situation of the Lineage.
Time flies, and more than half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, a huge rift opened up in the sky above the Secret Realm, and Thunder roared in. Yang Tiankang held the Heaven and Earth Sword, and with each strike, it seemed to create a complete world, enveloping the Thunder and obliterating it.
And so, relying on the long sword in his hand, Yang Tiankang managed to survive the Tribulation of the Three-Nine Heavenly Tribulation.
Even the Heart Demon Tribulation that followed couldn't stop him; he overcame them directly and achieved the Spirit Transformation Realm.
After Yang Tiankang broke through to the Spirit Transformation, his strength increased greatly, not to mention that he also had the Beacon-Fire Sword in his hand.
Although it cannot unleash the full power of this Sixth-Tier Supreme-Grade Law Treasure, even if it does unleash only a small portion, it can still escape unscathed from a cultivator who Sage Manifestation.
If activated at any cost, it wouldn't be impossible to severely injure or even kill Sage Manifestation.
Having greatly increased his strength, Yang Tiankang did not choose to continue cultivating in the Secret Realm. Instead, he took the Beacon-Fire Sword and left the Endless Abyss with Shanhai to meet up with Yang Danglong on the Giant Spirit Continent.
A month later, in a Human Race city on the Giant Spirit Continent, the three Yang Household Members met up. Yang Tianyou, who was in Purple Moon Mountain, also breathed a sigh of relief and was completely at ease.
