Breaking Through the Blood Moving Realm's Ultimate Limit, the Key Opens the Mountain Treasure

"Rise!"

Above the vast waterfall, a small figure faced the morning glow and lifted a boulder weighing a hundred thousand jin. His whole body shone brilliantly, and a precious radiance emanated from his flesh.

The scene made the nearby beasts roar and the fierce birds soar into the sky. They all trembled, frightened by that small figure.

In the morning glow, the little figure shone brilliantly, radiating a terrifying aura. He stood atop the waterfall like a young Heavenly God, his entire body surrounded by an indescribable air of grandeur.

"Whew, I finally did it!"

In the blink of an eye, he had been training like this for ten months. Today, Bai Yixin had finally managed to lift a boulder weighing a hundred thousand jin.

Bai Yixin's body glimmered with precious light beneath the morning glow, shaking this stretch of the Great Wilderness. Many fierce birds and beasts had been frightened into fleeing.

His flesh seemed to gleam faintly, healthy and translucent, as if he possessed an inexhaustible supply of strength.

"Is this what the Dao of Grinding is? It's too powerful!" Bai Yixin stood atop a boulder as the rushing water flowed past him, white as snow and rumbling like thunder. Its roar shook the surrounding mountains.

Watching Little One struggle to climb the still-raging waterfall, Bai Yixin sighed.

"The longer I grind, the more efficient I become. By now, I've actually pulled far ahead of Little One!"

"I thought that if I stopped grinding, I'd have to start counting from scratch. I never imagined the progress could accumulate."

"As long as I grind long enough, hard work can surpass the talent one is born with."

Day after day, Bai Yixin never missed a single day, rain or shine. He was now nearly eight years old.

"Open panel."

[Name]: Bai Yixin.

[Age]: 7.

[Realm]: Foundation Establishment First Level (35687/10000), Blood Moving Realm (100562/100000).

[Art]: Wind and Rain Summoning Art (Perfect).

[Skills]: Silver Moon Precious Technique—Mastered (396/1000), Suanni Precious Technique—Slightly Accomplished (55/100), Gale Sword Technique—Mastered (656/1000), Wind Manipulation—Storm (92/100), Minor Rain-Calling Art—Slightly Accomplished (35/100), Breath Concealment Art—Mastered (183/1000), Minor Fireball Art—Slightly Accomplished (56/100).

[Experience]: 23333

[Money]: 99995

[Talent]: Dao of Grinding. The Liver Emperor has a liver throughout his entire body. When he enters an intense-grinding state, his efficiency multiplies over time.

Bai Yixin looked at the Blood Moving Realm (100562/100000) entry.

"Does this mean the limit of my physical strength is lifting something weighing 100,562 jin?"

"Roar! Looks like the hundred-thousand-jin ultimate limit isn't my end after all. With the help of the Dao of Grinding, I can reach even greater heights!"

Bai Yixin looked at the Foundation Establishment First Level (55687/10000) entry, then turned his gaze to the money entry.

99995.

An ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivation art could be bought in the shop for ten thousand, but how could Bai Yixin possibly be satisfied with that?

If he was going to buy one, he wanted the best. If he was going to cultivate, he wanted the highest-quality immortal path. It only required a small extra cost—not much, just ten times the original price.

A hundred thousand for the strongest Foundation Establishment cultivation art!

Once mastered and cultivated to completion, it could lay the firmest Dao Foundation and refine the strongest Golden Core!

And now, he was just five yuan short of a hundred thousand.

Once he learned a Foundation Establishment cultivation art, Bai Yixin's cultivation realm could break through as well.

However, compared with spending a hundred thousand outright to buy a Foundation Establishment cultivation art, Bai Yixin actually had another option.

This path carried some risk, but if he succeeded, he wouldn't have to worry about finding a cultivation art for each realm for a long time to come.

And that path was to spend money on a key and open the Mountain Treasure.

In the shop, [Universal Key]: Price: 100,000.

Universal Key: I can open every "door."

And a Restriction could also be called a "door" that needed a key to open.

But perhaps that was just wishful thinking on Bai Yixin's part.

So spending a hundred thousand to buy a key and try to open the Mountain Treasure still carried quite a risk.

It was a question worth thinking over.

If he opened the Mountain Treasure only to find it empty, he would suffer a crushing loss.

Fortunately, Bai Yixin remembered clearly that the Mountain Treasure contained at least the Six Paths of Reincarnation Heavenly Art and the Grass Sword Art from the Nine-Leaf Grass. This wasn't like opening a blind box.

Perhaps you were wondering: wouldn't this still leave him without a Foundation Establishment cultivation art?

Yes, but don't rush.

Knowledge could create value.

As mentioned before, the shop could buy back anything from this world, including knowledge such as Treasure Techniques.

Knowledge was the one thing you could share and still keep for yourself.

As long as he opened the Mountain Treasure, Bai Yixin could copy the Treasure Techniques inside, sell the copies to the shop, and use the money to buy a cultivation art.

Bai Yixin had already tested this process, and it worked very well.

He had sold the Silver Moon Precious Technique and his insights into it to the shop for fifty thousand.

Though it might not seem like much, as long as Bai Yixin gained new insights into the Silver Moon Precious Technique, he could keep selling them to the shop.

Otherwise, how could Bai Yixin, who spent every day busy cultivating, have had enough time to hunt and save nearly a hundred thousand?

Still, he had only sold one Treasure Technique so far: the Silver Moon Precious Technique.

Even an unpracticed Suanni Precious Technique could sell for a hundred thousand, but during this period Bai Yixin had needed to focus on tempering his body. He wasn't in a hurry to buy a Foundation Establishment cultivation art.

This period of tempering had not only brought a tremendous breakthrough in his physical body, but had also refined Bai Yixin's cultivation Dao Foundation. His previously unstable spiritual power was now extremely solid. In his golden Spirit Sea, every drop of water was thick and viscous, as if it weighed a thousand jun.

Looking at it this way, there didn't seem to be much to think about. After all, he had the Suanni Method as a fallback. Even if the Universal Key couldn't open the Mountain Treasure, he still had money to buy a Foundation Establishment cultivation art for his cultivation.

Once Bai Yixin had made up his mind, he acted. He called out to Little One, leaped into the woods beside the waterfall, and caught up with a beast still running away.

A flash of silver light, and the beast's head fell to the ground.

[Money] +10.

Seeing that his money had passed a hundred thousand, Bai Yixin didn't hesitate for a moment. He opened the shop and immediately clicked to buy the Universal Key.

It was called the Universal Key, but it didn't look like a key at all. It looked more like a chaotic ball of light, constantly changing shape: one moment it was an ordinary key, the next it had turned into a glowing seal.

"Don't let me down!"

As he spoke, Bai Yixin pressed the ever-changing Chaos Light Cluster against the Pure White Bone Block in his other hand.

The Chaos Light Cluster enveloped it. The six-sided Pure White Bone Block gave a sharp click and opened. One of its sides was a lid, which detached from the block by itself and revealed what lay inside.

Specks of rosy light shimmered within. Was this Treasure Box a gigantic spatial artifact?

It looked small, not at all large, yet its interior felt vast and empty, like the night sky, dotted with stars.

Inside were several pieces of Beast Skin, ancient and mottled with dried blood. No one could say how many years they had been there.

"It really worked! Oh yeah!"

Bai Yixin's face lit up with wild delight as he examined the pieces one by one.

"Six Paths of Reincarnation Heavenly Art!"

Bai Yixin stared at a piece of Beast Skin in his hand, overcome with excitement. It clearly recorded the Supreme Hall's most exalted Ancient Heavenly Art—the Six Paths of Reincarnation!

Besides this Ancient Scripture Great Law, there were other methods and quite a few Treasure Techniques, such as those of the Hou Clan and the Luan Bird Clan...

The last piece of Beast Skin recorded the Suanni Method, but it was far too damaged. Its Runes were blurry, almost impossible to make out.

"Hey? Where's the Grass Sword Art?" Bai Yixin scratched his head, puzzled.

"Did I remember wrong?"
