Mysterious Skill Second Turn, Mysterious Immortal Realm Early Stage

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, five hundred years had passed.

"Break~"

On this day, Li Yun's low roar rang out.

Visible around him, his magical power raged and rampaged wildly, as the medicinal power of the final Golden Elixir was completely absorbed. His cultivation base surged rapidly: Celestial Immortal Realm late stage—Celestial Immortal Realm peak—Mysterious Immortal Realm early stage!

Only after reaching the early stage of the Mysterious Immortal Realm did Li Yun's rampaging magical power gradually calm down.

A quarter of an hour later, Li Yun's tightly shut eyes opened. Feeling his own state, he couldn't help but burst into loud laughter: "Hahaha!"

"It worked, this Daoist Master has made it!"

"Second Revolution of the Mysterious Technique, early stage, and my cultivation has also reached the Mysterious Immortal Realm level!"

For a moment, Li Yun ignored everything else and directly pulled up his personal panel to check.

[Li Yun]

[Race: Human-Witch Hybrid]

[Nacent Soul Cultivation: Mysterious Immortal Realm early stage]

[Physical Body Cultivation: Mysterious Immortal Realm mid stage]

[Technique: Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique (Second Revolution early stage)]

[Traits: Child of Destiny (Gold), Great Witch Bloodline (Red), Top-Tier Comprehension (Red)]

"Physical body strength has already reached Mysterious Immortal mid stage?"

"Pity, even with the boost from the Great Witch Bloodline trait, this physical improvement doesn't seem to pull too far ahead of the Nascent Soul cultivation."

"But no rush. The greatest use of the Great Witch Bloodline is ensuring my physical body can reach the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal level without collapsing, and at that point, I can awaken laws and the Great Witch True Body—that's where the real value lies."

Thinking this, Li Yun stood straight up from the ground.

He glanced at the empty jade bottle beside him, a trace of helplessness flashing in his eyes: "Pity, I've eaten all the Golden Elixirs."

"And as I break through to the Mysterious Immortal Realm, I can clearly feel the medicinal effect of these Golden Elixirs weakening drastically. I can't go asking Master for more pills either—this really is annoying."

"After experiencing the feeling of leveling up with cheats, having to cultivate step by step is truly a torment."

"But with my current Mysterious Immortal Realm cultivation, I should be able to deal with some Innate Spirits, right?"

Saying this, a sharp light burst from Li Yun's eyes.

The system's ability was to gain traits by defeating (killing) opponents.

Although the traits of weak beings might not be high-grade, accumulating many small gains could allow him to synthesize decent-grade traits.

Just now, he had completed a breakthrough in cultivation, so short-term secluded meditation wasn't suitable. Plus, in five hundred years, the Three Teachings Exchange Conference would be held, and the cultivation of the Taiqing Divine Thunder couldn't be shelved. Seeking out some Innate Spirits as opponents was undoubtedly the best choice.

With this in mind, Li Yun didn't hesitate any longer. He stepped forward and walked straight out of the Bamboo House.

After looking around, Li Yun rode a cloud into mid-air. He didn't linger around the mountaintop area but instead headed toward the foot of Kunlun Mountain.

The mountaintop area belonged to the Sage's Dojo. Even if there were Innate Spirits there, they would be extremely powerful. With his Mysterious Immortal Realm cultivation, he was definitely no match. Conversely, the foothills area was different—not only were there Innate Spirits, but even some weak Demonic Beasts existed.

As the Sage's Dojo, Kunlun Mountain naturally forbade other beings from dwelling there. However, weak existences wouldn't be expelled, as even Heaven's Way leaves a sliver of life in its forty-nine paths.

Under these circumstances, it didn't take long for Li Yun, riding his cloud, to reach the foothills area.

Roar roar roar~

Before he could even search, the sound of Demonic Beast roars came from a forest not far away.

Immediately after, demonic aura could be seen rampaging—clearly, a fight was happening inside.

"Celestial Immortal Realm Demonic Beasts!"

"Not bad, not bad~"

Sensing the aura, Li Yun's lips curled upward, and he immediately rode his cloud toward the forest.

In no time, Li Yun successfully arrived at the destination. As far as the eye could see, two Demonic Beasts were fighting over a vermillion-colored fruit radiating dense innate energy.

Both beasts had cultivations around the Celestial Immortal Realm late stage—one was a tiger, the other a leopard. They fought fiercely, their bodies covered in blood and looking extremely battered. Yet this only stirred their ferocity, and their savagery was enough to overwhelm even a Celestial Immortal Realm peak cultivator.

"A Hundred Thousand Year Vermillion Fruit!"

"Good stuff."

Glancing at the two beasts, Li Yun's gaze was drawn to the bright red fruit.

A hundred-thousand-year Vermillion Fruit, pure yang and supremely strong, containing powerful medicinal energy. Its value was considerable—in Li Yun's eyes, it was even greater than the Golden Elixir Laozi had given him before.

Thinking this, Li Yun didn't hesitate. His figure flickered, and he appeared directly beside the Vermillion Fruit. Without a second thought, he reached out and plucked it.

"Roar roar~"

At the same time, Li Yun's actions were immediately noticed by the two Demonic Beasts.

The beasts, who had been fighting to the death moments ago, now both had bloodshot eyes. Exchanging a glance, they pounced at Li Yun from left and right.

"Perfect timing."

Seeing this, Li Yun laughed heartily. His left hand formed a hand seal, and a pale cyan Taiqing Divine Thunder manifested.

"Taiqing Divine Thunder—go!"

With a low shout, Li Yun raised his hand and aimed at the two demonic beasts.

The next second, pale cyan Taiqing Divine Thunder swept forth, splitting in two and landing directly on the two beasts.

Boom—

Boom—

Thunderclaps rang out. When the Taiqing Divine Thunder dissipated, only two charred demonic beast corpses remained on the ground, and a rich aroma of cooked meat now wafted through the air.

[Ding! Successfully killed Darkness Leopard. Acquired trait: Darkness (Green)]

[Ding! Successfully killed Blazing Fire Tiger. Acquired trait: Blazing Sun Fire (Green)]

"Trash!"

Without even glancing at the trait descriptions, Li Yun curled his lips and scoffed.

Green traits—he didn't bother with them at all now, nor would he waste precious trait slots binding them.

Still, smelling the meaty fragrance in the air, Li Yun couldn't help swallowing his saliva and muttered, "After all, these are Celestial Immortal Realm demonic beasts. Their flesh and blood should be quite nourishing, right?"

"This is the one downside of being a Human-Witch Hybrid—I don't need to eat, but I can't shake the urge to."

Talking to himself, Li Yun stepped forward and got to work. He extracted the prime cuts of meat from both beasts, sat down cross-legged, and began to eat. He even retrieved two Demonic Cores from the beasts' bodies.

These were also highly nourishing, but Li Yun had no intention of absorbing them. They were too full of impurities, and for someone practicing the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique, consuming them would do more harm than good.

Before long, Li Yun had devoured most of the demonic beast meat. Patting his belly, he opened his mouth and tossed the ten-thousand-year Vermillion Fruit inside.

"Not bad!"

"Tastes a bit like an apple mixed with a peach."

Sighing with satisfaction, Li Yun lifted his foot and walked toward the outside. The Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique steadily circulated within him, absorbing the medicinal power of the ten-thousand-year Vermillion Fruit and continuously converting it into Magical Power to nourish his body and enhance his strength.
