Breakthrough to the Spirit Realm
The convoy slowly disappeared into the night, and Xiao Tian's gaze returned to his seat.
With a gentle flick of his sleeve, the two figures vanished like Ru Yan into the world, leaving only a faint, mysterious aura, as if they had never existed.
Xiao Tian was standing at the city gate of a city, while Zi Yao had been taken into the Free and Unfettered World by her.
Above the city gate are two clear and imposing characters: Tianbei.
This is Tianbei City Han Clan, or Han Yue's family, resides. It is located in the Central State Northern Region, a city that can only be considered of medium size in the Northern Region.
The map clearly shows that Tianbei City is controlled by the Hong Han Families. The Han Clan occupies the south of Tianbei City, while the Hong Family occupies Tianbei City north.
Although it was night, people were still coming and going. In the Cultivation World, there was no such thing as a curfew.
The streets were still brightly lit and bustling with people.
The streets are very well planned, without any sense of disorder, and the whole city gives people a feeling of grandeur.
There are also many people wearing guard uniforms patrolling, with a Korean character embroidered on their chests.
This indicates that the street falls under the jurisdiction of the Han Clan.
Xiao Tian wandered around the streets for half an hour, but he couldn't stand it any longer, so he found a secluded spot and went into the Free and Unfettered World.
There's no other reason; Central State at night is just so passionate. There are always women—older sisters, young women, aunties—who, because of my appearance, inexplicably pretend to twist their ankles in front of me and throw themselves at me.
If I hadn't dodged quickly, I might have been taken advantage of; they all had their eyes gleaming with greed, as if they wanted to devour me whole.
The Free and Unfettered World, the Sky Palace.
Xiao Tian sensed Han Yue's presence, but since she had not yet emerged from seclusion, Xiao Tian did not choose to interrupt her.
Now that he finally had some free time, Xiao Tian began to cultivate the Taiyin Soul Refining Art, which Check-in Reward his daily check-ins.
"The movement of the moon varies, sometimes slow, sometimes fast, sometimes in accordance with the natural order, sometimes against it... The moonlight shines everywhere between heaven and earth..."
Xiao Tian began to cultivate according to the cultivation method recorded above.
Three hours later, he opened his eyes, feeling refreshed. Since he was already at the half-step Spirit Realm level, he quickly mastered the first level: Guiding Moon Body Refining, and even reached its peak.
Xiao Tian closed his eyes and continued cultivating.
Just as Xiao Tian was cultivating, a caravan entered from the south gate of Tianbei City and finally stopped in front of a rather large mansion.
A young girl dressed in a purple robe stepped down from the luxurious carriage, gave a brief explanation, and then walked into the mansion.
Although the girl's expression was indifferent, there was still a hint of sadness and longing in her eyes.
A middle-aged man saw the girl's appearance. He didn't call out to her, but after she disappeared, he walked outside and found Han Chong, who was directing the unloading of goods.
"Han Chong, I noticed Xue'er seemed a bit off earlier. Did something happen to her outside?" the middle-aged man asked Han Chong, his voice carrying an unquestionable tone.
"Family Head, this is what happened..." Han Chong recounted everything that had happened on the hillside.
The person referred to as the Family Head is Han Chi, the Family Head of the Han Clan, and also the biological father of Han Yue and Han Xue.
After Han Chi dismissed Han Chong, his eyes flickered, and he seemed to be thinking about something. Then he sighed and walked inside.
A day later, a strange attraction emanated from between Xiao Tian's eyebrows.
The surrounding Heaven and Earth Energy) began to fluctuate, and amidst this fluctuation, wisps of strange energy flowed out from the space and entered Xiao Tian's brow.
Finally, he merged with the soul that was entrenched there. During this fusion, Xiao Tian 'Xiao Tian soul felt as if it were enveloped in warm spiritual nectar, and his whole body was filled with a sense of comfort.
These gases are Spiritual Energy, which only Spirit Realm Soul can absorb.
Indeed, Xiao Tian was currently breaking through the second level of the Taiyin Refining Spirit Art: Moon Spirit Condensation. Once he reached this level, Xiao Tian's soul would rise to the Spirit Realm.
After this absorption continued for nearly an hour, the strange power between Xiao Tian's eyebrows suddenly intensified, and finally, an invisible fluctuation, unseen by the naked eye, quietly spread out.
An invisible force erupted, and centered on Xiao Tian, the ground around him cracked open like a spider web.
A powerful ripple of soul energy spread outwards continuously.
In the end, it was completely absorbed by the array and special materials set up in the Cultivation Room and did not spread outwards.
Those cultivating in other Cultivation Room were not affected in any way.
A phantom figure appeared above Xiao Tian's head, sitting cross-legged. Upon closer inspection, one could vaguely make out Xiao Tian's appearance.
Only those with Spirit Realm Soul or higher can achieve the ability for their soul to leave their body autonomously. Spirit Realm Soul is a huge threshold for Alchemist; to become Rank 8 Alchemist, one must possess Spirit Realm Soul.
Because Rank 8 Pills possesses spirituality, and this spirituality is born from the elixir absorbing Spiritual Energy.
To mobilize Spiritual Energy, one must have Spirit Realm Soul. Many top-tier Seventh Grade Alchemist are stuck at this level, and many others are stuck at this step for their entire lives.
The illusory figure transformed into a stream of light and returned to Xiao Tian's Sea of Consciousness consciousness between his eyebrows, while the immense pressure of the surrounding soul gradually dissipated.
Xiao Tian, who had kept his eyes closed, suddenly opened them, and the space in front of him began to distort strangely.
Xiao Tian clenched his fist, feeling his entire body brimming with power. "So this is the Spirit Realm Soul? It's worlds apart from the Mortal Realm."
The difference between the Mortal Realm and the Spirit Realm is like the difference between Dou Emperor and Dou Zun.
"Finally, I can refine Rank 8 Pills." Xiao Tian stretched his body. "Then let's continue cultivating our soul attacks."
Taking advantage of the Clear Mind brought about by his current soul breakthrough, Xiao Tian cultivated in this state, achieving twice the results with half the effort.
Nighttime, in the Palace of Free and Unfettered World, in the Sky Palace, inside the Xiao Tian's Palace.
"Hmm~ Junior Xiao Tian, guess what realm I'm at now?" Han Yue, who had just emerged from seclusion, was squatting down, her hands supporting her on Xiao Tian's body, and spoke in a charming voice. Then, she touched Xiao Tian's lips with her finger. "Don't sense anything."
"That's a bit hard to guess, I need to think about it carefully." Xiao Tian stretched out his hands, his thumbs and forefingers rubbing together, two worlds constantly shifting. "Two... I guess you're Two Star Dou Ancestor now, right?"
Han Yue's body stiffened, and she trembled a few times, as if she was shocked by Xiao Tian's accurate guess. "How could you guess so accurately?"
At this time, Han Yue had consumed a lot of pills and used a large amount of Energy Crystal Stone from the Trial Tower, and her cultivation had broken through to the level of Two Star Dou Ancestor.
When she emerged from seclusion, she jumped for joy. She had reached the Dou Zong so easily; she never knew when she would have been able to achieve it in the past.
After emerging from seclusion, she discovered that Xiao Tian was in the Free and Unfettered World, so she immediately went to find Xiao Tian, first thanking him verbally, and finally kowtowing in gratitude.
