Cultivation Breakthrough, Spiritual Treasure Opportunity

Cihang, though harboring the ambition to attain the Primordial Chaos realm, did not become arrogant because of it.

Instead, he became even more cautious.

A foundation was still just a foundation; only when it truly transformed into cultivation and strength would it completely belong to him.

Cihang quickly calmed his excited emotions.

"Now that everything is ready, it's time to start cultivating!"

Taking the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil, Cihang once again entered the Divine Temple of Life to go into seclusion for his breakthrough.

Previously, his cultivation had already reached the peak of the early Golden Immortal stage, but it was only because of the imbalance of the five elements that he couldn't continue breaking through.

Now that he had the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil, he could quickly comprehend the creation of earth and perfect the Wutu Divine Thunder.

Then, he would break through to the mid-Golden Immortal stage.

In fact, among those of the same level, Cihang's cultivation speed was not slow; it was even so fast that his peers were left in the dust.

However, Cihang did not focus his gaze on them but instead compared himself to truly top-tier powerhouses.

Although he was still very far from them, he would continue to strive for it until he caught up and surpassed them.

Just as Cihang went into seclusion, Hongyun had already traveled at full speed to the Wuzhuang Temple.

"Brother Zhenyuan, what happened that made you rush me back here?"

Hongyun entered the main hall of the Wuzhuang Temple directly without announcing himself.

Although he had his own dojo, he actually spent much more time at the Wuzhuang Temple than at his dojo.

"You just obtained the Primordial Violet Qi, and you're not even going into seclusion to comprehend it properly, yet you're still acting as carefree as before!"

Seeing Hongyun's indifferent demeanor, Zhenyuanzi couldn't help but complain, but his words were filled with concern.

At the same time, he had already prepared Ginseng Fruits.

These spiritual fruits, rarely seen by cultivators in the outside world, had almost all ended up in Hongyun's mouth.

"I was born from auspicious clouds and naturally should be unrestrained.

That Primordial Violet Qi is extremely profound, and it's impossible to understand it through forced comprehension.

It's better to follow my heart, and there might be unexpected gains!"

Looking at the Ginseng Fruits, Hongyun did not consume them this time but waved his hand and put them away.

"I naturally know this, but you also know that ever since the Dao Ancestor distributed the Saint positions, how many powerhouses are watching you now.

There are only seven Saint positions, how can those people be content.

The other few are disciples of the Dao Ancestor; you only have the karma of hearing the Dao, so you naturally became their target."

Zhenyuanzi looked at Hongyun with a worried expression.

"The Primordial Violet Qi chose its master based on destiny that day; are they really going to try and seize it by force?

Although I, Hongyun, have always been kind to others, my strength and the spiritual treasures in my hands are not useless!"

Hongyun's expression also became serious.

Since Zhenyuanzi had already discovered it, how could he not know the intentions of those other people?

But he was confident in having Quasi-Saint cultivators and top-tier spiritual treasures to protect him, so he did not fear them.

"I know your strength is good, but those people are not weak either.

Be careful during this period!

Don't go back to Huoyun Cave either; here in Wuzhuang Temple, we can discuss the Dao and cultivate together!"

Zhenyuanzi was happy for Hongyun to obtain the Primordial Violet Qi.

But worry followed immediately.

"Alright, I'll stay at Wuzhuang Temple during this time, so you don't have to worry, brother!"

Seeing Zhenyuanzi's worried expression, Hongyun couldn't bring himself to refuse.

"By the way, why did you put away the Ginseng Fruits? You always ate them directly before!"

After putting his worries aside, Zhenyuanzi also remembered the thing that surprised him earlier.

Although Ginseng Fruits were good, they didn't have much effect on them at their current level, but Hongyun was very fond of the taste of Ginseng Fruits.

Zhenyuanzi had always indulged him.

"I met a fated young friend on Buzhou Mountain this time, and he gave me a generous gift before we parted.

When we meet again in the future, I'll give him a few Ginseng Fruits to try!"

Hongyun explained to Zhenyuanzi with a smile.

"You're using my spiritual fruits to curry favor?

What kind of cultivator is it that you care about so much?"

Zhenyuanzi was still a little surprised. Although Hongyun was kind to everyone, there were not many cultivators he truly approved of.

Having cultivated for hundreds of millions of years, only the two of them were truly close friends.

"Naturally, he's a young friend with both excellent opportunities and comprehension."

Hongyun recounted how he met Cihang and also presented the Life Spirit Pearl.

As soon as the Life Spirit Pearl appeared, a vigorous life force instantly filled the entire grand hall.

"Such potent life force! This young friend Cihang truly has great fortune to possess such a treasure.

Even more crucially, he was willing to give it to you.

Compared to this, those few Ginseng Fruits seem rather insignificant!"

With Zhenyuanzi's knowledge, he could likely discern the extraordinary nature and function of the spirit pearl.

"Young friend Cihang himself is also quite remarkable. I will introduce him to you, Daoist brother, when the opportunity arises," Hongyun said with a smile.

"Excellent! When young friend Cihang arrives, I will entertain him with utmost sincerity!

You should also quickly put this spirit pearl away. It possesses abundant life force and may have great use in the future!"

Because of Hongyun, Zhenyuanzi also took Cihang to heart.

Cihang, however, was unaware that a single Life Spirit Pearl had left such an excellent impression on Zhenyuanzi.

Hongyun remained at Wuzhuang Temple thanks to Zhenyuanzi, and everything proceeded smoothly for Cihang.

The Nine Heavens Breathing Soil is a top-tier treasure of the earth element, and it also contains a wisp of the intent of creation.

Cihang first used the method of refining spiritual treasures to make the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil successfully recognize him as its master.

Since it wasn't a true spiritual treasure, recognizing its master was relatively easier.

After the Breathing Soil recognized him, profound dao principles immediately surged into Cihang's sea of consciousness.

Leveraging the dao principles of the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil, Cihang quickly perfected the Wutu Divine Thunder.

The moment the Wutu Divine Thunder was perfected, the profound mystery of earth element creation fed back, helping Cihang instantly break through to the middle stage of Golden Immortal.

"Middle stage Golden Immortal! Cultivating the Five Elements Creation is indeed the most suitable path for me!"

Although everything went smoothly, by the time Cihang emerged from seclusion after his success, a thousand years had already passed.

Leaving the Grotto-Heaven, Cihang discovered that the Innate Great Array was already showing signs of dissipating.

The Innate Great Array was originally the guardian array for the Spiritual Root. Now that the Gourd Vine had been collected by him, the array naturally could not last long.

"It's time to leave!"

Just as Cihang stepped out of the great array, the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil emitted an extremely subtle fluctuation.

It was so weak that Cihang almost didn't notice it.

At the same time, inexplicable fluctuations also emanated from the depths of Buzhou Mountain.

The Innate Great Array, which had previously concealed itself, gradually revealed itself, emitting a faint glow.

"A spiritual treasure resonance?"

Cihang stopped in his tracks, carefully sensing the changes in the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil.

He vaguely felt that, at a very distant location, a spiritual treasure was establishing a connection with the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil.

The Breathing Soil, in turn, was emitting a fluctuation, as if urging Cihang.

"Something that can connect with the Breathing Soil should be an earth-attributed spiritual treasure, or perhaps a spiritual root!"

Saying this, Cihang transformed into a beam of light and headed in the direction of the sensed fluctuation.

After obtaining the Breathing Soil and the Gourd Vine, Cihang was already quite satisfied with his trip to Buzhou.

But who would truly dislike having too many spiritual treasures?

Moreover, this was a spiritual treasure that had a connection with him.

Cultivation is a struggle, and so are opportunities.
