Realm

The gaunt old man's dark Mana palm print pressed down, but relying on the powerful effect of [Steel Body], Lu Bai managed to withstand the first wave of attacks.

After personally taking action, the gaunt old man quickly realized that Lu Bai's physical strength had reached a level he could hardly comprehend.

He was not surprised but delighted.

This kind of physical body, stronger than even immortal metal, is simply the best material for refining weapons.

The gaunt old man decisively changed his strategy, abandoning his attempt to kill Lu Bai. Instead, he reduced the offensive power of his Mana and, with exquisite control, Mana hand to grab Lu Bai from the Nameless Mountain.

Even though these powerful figures from the immortal sects present did not personally take action, their divine senses were strong enough that they successively noticed this, and their plans gradually aligned with those of the gaunt old man.

"What an unexpected delight!" A frail, elderly elder of the immortal sect laughed heartily.

The Deputy Cult Master of the Yuhuo Cult's expression brightened. The loss of a talented disciple could be compensated for by the acquisition of a top-tier refining material in human form.

He immediately declared loudly, "Fellow practitioners, this child should be handled by our sect. Let's not get entangled and risk damaging our harmony."

"How could the mere Yuhuo Cult Sect be qualified to seize such an opportunity?"

Elder Golden Scale showed no respect whatsoever; such a large piece of "immortal gold" would even tempt a holy land.

Lu Bai allowed the gaunt old man's Mana hand to grip him in mid-air without showing any panic.

He gazed at the figures that filled the sky, his smile growing even brighter.

He had too many cards to play, and he didn't actually think his life was in any danger, but that didn't mean he would unconditionally endure the humiliation from these powerful immortals.

Taking advantage of the fact that the gaunt old man didn't intend to kill him yet, he quickly switched [Steel Body] to [Mind Control].

Without hesitation, he searched for the Qingwang Sect disciples who were still in Purple Cloud Mountain. The moment he spotted Fatty Feng, he cast a [Mind Control] spell on his head.

If everything goes smoothly, once you've set up your character, you can go online for [Five Immortals Sealing].

However, while dividing the cake is a necessary task, the important thing is to prevent it from getting lost.

Although the powerful figures from the immortal sects present were still debating how to maximize their own interests, they all tacitly allocated a portion of their divine sense to observe Lu Bai's every move.

Even if they couldn't understand what kind of magic Lu Bai was using, just seeing the effect didn't prevent them from switching to a power they could comprehend.

"How dare you! You are indeed a born evil fiend, using such a vicious soul-capturing technique on your fellow disciples."

The gaunt old man's expression was extremely cold.

Generally, only those who have cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage can fully unleash secret techniques like Soul Seduction; otherwise, it's easy to cause the target to become mentally disabled after the spell is cast.

Seeing how ruthless Lu Bai was even towards his fellow disciples, the gaunt old man became even more determined not to let Lu Bai escape.

With the intervention of a powerful cultivator specializing in the divine soul, control of Fatty Feng's brain was easily regained.

Seeing this, Lu Bai didn't mind and switched his restored ability back to [Steel Body].

Since this shortcut is easily cracked, we might as well just take the proper path.

Lu Bai's talent in this world was already so strong that he could reach the pinnacle without needing any special abilities.

"No need to say so much to him. Let me search his Soul Searching. I want to see what kind of opportunity has made this boy so dangerous."

An old man with a seemingly compassionate demeanor stepped forward, conjured a decree with a wave of his hand, and shot it towards Lu Bai, who was being controlled by Mana hand.

Lu Bai narrowed his eyes, too lazy to argue with these shameless guys.

Just before the decree was about to arrive, he activated [Flash Time] and also used [Mental Time Chamber], an ability that was mostly useless to him.

[Mental Time Chamber (Colorful): A training ground in another dimension. Upon entering the Time Chamber, time outside will stop. In a single Deathmatch Showdown, the fighter can spend a total of two years within the Time Chamber.]

What are the chances of reaching the late stage of the Golden Core from scratch in just one week?

It's no exaggeration to say that even a true immortal who has undergone a complete transformation, even with abundant resources, would only achieve this much.

With Lu Bai's current talent, calling him a celestial being would be no problem at all.

After entering the vast, white Mental Time Chamber, Lu Bai wasted no time and quickly began to push his cultivation level.

There were no bottlenecks in his cultivation advancement. The only issue that might affect his cultivation speed was comprehension, but with the help of the Immortal Dao Flower above his head, he was also progressing by leaps and bounds.

It wouldn't even take two years, given Lu Bai's focused cultivation.

On the third day after entering the Mental Time Chamber, the Golden Core broke through and transformed into the Nascent Soul.

In the second week, the nascent soul underwent sublimation, achieving the transformation into a deity.

At this point, Lu Bai could have easily left the Mental Time Chamber. With his Nascent Soul stage cultivation and the formidable defense of his [Steel Body], and in a situation where he was caught off guard, no one could have stopped him from escaping.

However, Lu Bai was not in a hurry to leave.

Now that we've decided to teach those powerful immortal sects a lesson, simply running away won't do.

Either don't take action, or use overwhelming force to make them despair.

Soon, his Nascent Soul stage realm was gradually consolidated, and he gradually moved towards the middle Nascent Soul stage.

Lu Bai could feel that his cultivation level was rapidly increasing as if there were no upper limit.

In the third week, without any obstacles, he entered the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

The first month has passed, and his cultivation level has reached the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm...

If word got out about this exaggerated rate of improvement, it would absolutely shock all cultivators to the point of doubting its authenticity.

In the vast, white Mental Time Chamber, the longer one stays, the more inevitably the concept of time will become blurred.

Moreover, for cultivators, the higher their cultivation level, the more time it takes to advance even a little; this is the reason behind the saying "time flies in the mountains."

Of course, Lu Bai's rapidly increasing cultivation level eventually came to a standstill. It wasn't that the time in the Mental Time Chamber had run out, but rather that he had entered the later stages of cultivation and vaguely sensed a kind of ceiling.

That's clearly not a bottleneck between realms, but rather some kind of limitation.

He immediately realized, as if struck by a sudden inspiration, that his cultivation would no longer advance as rapidly as before until he broke through this limitation.

He wasn't sure exactly how long he had been in the Mental Time Chamber, but he could tell from the fact that he hadn't been expelled from it that it had been less than two years.

"It's a bit of a shame that we can't improve any further, but..."

Lu Bai stood up, feeling the vast and boundless Mana within his body, and clenched his fist. "... The Mahayana stage, that should be enough, right?"
