Inside the Cultivation Quiet Room, Chen Ping'an sat cross-legged.
Light blue netherglow flowed around him, seemingly mixed with faint grayish-white traces.
Bzzz~
Chen Ping'an's brow lit up brilliantly, becoming incomparably radiant at this moment.
Crash!
The panel churned, and starlight emerged.
With his breakthrough, countless strange changes occurred within his body.
A vast amount of insight welled up in his heart, like long-sealed memories gradually awakening.
Saber, spear, sword, fist, palm, claw, leg!
Soul Severing Seven Absolutes, Seven Absolute Divine Skill!
Spiritual light flashed within his Spirit Platform. Above the spirit fruit, all nine Spiritual Patterns shone together.
At this moment, those Spiritual Patterns twisted and spread, as though they had come alive, plunging deep into the spirit fruit.
As the Spiritual Patterns sank in, surging power collided within the spirit fruit like a beast imprisoned for ages, rampaging wildly inside it.
This process was exceedingly perilous. The slightest deviation would damage his foundation.
Ordinary breakthrough cultivators had to pay an enormous price, seeking spiritual objects for support and powerful medicines for aid, before they had the confidence to assault this gate.
Yet before Chen Ping'an, this exceedingly perilous gate was nothing more than that.
As the Spiritual Patterns flashed and energy surged, cracks began appearing across the originally perfectly round spirit fruit.
The placement of these cracks was precisely right—they followed the previously incomparably intricate paths of the Spiritual Patterns.
No one knew how much time passed. The Spiritual Patterns engraved on the spirit fruit atop Chen Ping'an's Mind and Spirit Platform completely vanished, replaced by cracks as intricate as Spiritual Patterns.
Faint flowing light coursed through those cracks, carrying a trace of life force as well as unfathomable power.
Using nine Spiritual Patterns as the foundation, the cracks formed in his attempt to break through were undoubtedly purer
