Divine Soul Breakthrough
On the rolling mountains, some tall trees rise abruptly from the ground, soaring into the clouds!
Some large trees have leaves that cover the sky like umbrellas, and sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled light and shadow on the ground.
A figure, panting heavily, climbed halfway up the mountain; it was Ye Jingcheng.
He was looking at the mountain peak with a helpless expression.
This time, Ye Jingcheng hesitated completely.
He finally discovered the power of this Array.
He was trapped on Soaring Cloud Peak, but not the normal Soaring Cloud Peak; he was trapped on Soaring Cloud Peak devoid of spiritual energy.
He could never climb the mountain peak, nor could he ever leave Soaring Cloud Peak. He told himself countless times that this was an illusion array, but the illusion array never disappeared.
Moreover, since he was currently devoid of all Law Technique, he was unable to locate the array base even if he wanted to.
It's impossible to find the key markers, just like being in a closed room and never finding the door.
"The trees aren't, the steps aren't, the sun isn't, the shadows aren't..." Ye Jingcheng rejected them one by one. Even though he knew it was all fake, he was helpless.
Just then, the illusion array suddenly disappeared, revealing the worried figures of the Peachwood Demon and Star Pear Tree Demon in the distance.
The Peachwood spirit remained obsequious, while the Star Pear Tree Demon displayed varying expressions.
Ye Jingcheng glanced at it and knew he had already left the illusion.
Moreover, when he uses the Treasure Book and the Soul Pact, several Wood Demons will respond.
"Master, fifteen days have passed..." the Peachwood Demon said hesitantly.
Since the attempt to break through the illusion array had failed, the Peachwood Demon showed the empathy a servant should have. The other Star Pear Tree Demon remained indifferent, except for the small Star Pear Tree, which mischievously imitated Ye Jingcheng's climbing posture.
It was glared at fiercely by several Star Pear Tree Demons.
Ye Jingcheng sensed the Soul Pact and the memories within it, realizing that his actions over the past ten days had been nothing more than climbing a mountain in place.
For a moment, I was struck by the power of the Array.
Seeing Ye Jingcheng's expression, the Wood Demon lowered their heads even further.
Especially the Peachwood Demon:
"Master, I should have insisted on testing the formation for you. This time it was Little Demon fault, please punish me and set more peach-bearing goals for Little Demon..."
"It's none of your business, you did a great job!" Ye Jingcheng quickly interrupted. Ye Jingcheng had witnessed Peachwood's flattery and speaking skills before, and he didn't dare to test the limits of Peachwood Demon.
Moreover, although he failed to break through the formation, he actually gained quite a lot from this illusion formation.
First, he had already discovered a huge loophole: the Treasure Book within his body was clearly a very high-level treasure, and even the illusion array could not affect the Treasure Book's judgment.
This is also why Ye Jingcheng was able to pass the second test smoothly.
Ye Jingcheng felt that even if he were to Heart Demon Tribulation, he might still be able to use the Treasure Book.
Secondly, in Ye Jingcheng's view, the reason he couldn't pass the third test was simply because his mind and willpower were insufficient.
It doesn't reach the Fourth Stage level.
This requires him to continue training his physique, using the Dream-Devouring Insect to devour dreams, and further cultivating his alchemy skills!
The three processes are carried out simultaneously, maximizing body tempering, soul enhancement, and specialized techniques!
As for the Wood Demon who escorted him out on time, he considered that to be extremely good.
Ye Jingcheng displayed a few pieces of wood core and some Treasure Radiance, then went directly to the bamboo pavilion of the Golden Light Bamboo and began to quietly summarize his journey through the illusion array.
Once everything was ready, Ye Jingcheng resumed his daily cultivation routine.
As the sun rises, he enters the Heavenly Gang Body-Tempering Grand Array, using his Xuanhuang Body to withstand the continuous attacks of the Wood Giant!
At midday, he would descend the mountain to nourish his body with spiritual food.
After the spiritual meal, one cultivates by Dream-Devouring Insect, sensing the life of all beasts, and amplifying the Divine Soul.
After the Divine Soul amplification was complete, he began refining pills, starting with various first-tier Five Phases Advancement Pill, then moving on to the Ye Family's systematic second-tier Advancement Pill, and finally refining the second-tier Dream-Swallowing Pill and the third-tier White-Brow Pill...
Time flies when cultivating immortality; another two years have passed.
As dawn broke in the east, it cast a vast expanse of purple light.
Inside the Spirit Lake, the Moon Spirit Clam, which had been swimming all night, began to sink slowly towards the bottom.
However, at this moment, within the Heavenly Gang Body-Tempering Grand Formation, booming sounds could be heard, and two third-tier Adamantine Vine Wood Giant were clashing with Ye Jingcheng from time to time.
Like three iron men, they emitted a terrifying roar.
The three of them had clearly been making noise for a while, and at this moment Ye Jingcheng's gaze was also extremely fervent.
This physical clash naturally brought out Ye Jingcheng's Blood Qi.
This time, the body-training wasn't just starting; Ye Jingcheng had already been training for a full ten days.
At that very moment, Ye Jingcheng suddenly felt a surge of power within his body.
His Wasteland Body has advanced further, with even more Mysterious Desolate Spirit Patterns hidden on his body surface. His physical body has clearly progressed from the early stage of the Purple Mansion to the middle stage of the Purple Mansion!
At this moment, even a casual punch felt incredibly powerful to him.
His face lit up with joy, and as he took another step of the Great Wasteland Step, he felt that the steps that he had previously found difficult to perform were now finally within his reach.
With a whoosh!
Ye Jingcheng's figure suddenly became incredibly ghostly!
With a thunderous punch, the Adamantine Vine Wood Giant exploded, turning into a pile of wood chips.
The remaining Wood Giant was quickly dealt with by Ye Jingcheng.
It should be noted that Ye Jingcheng was still carrying the Heavenly Gang Body-Tempering Grand Formation at this moment, which is enough to show how strong Ye Jingcheng's physical body was.
Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but step out of the Heavenly Gang Body-Tempering Grand Array and summoned the Five-Colored Cloud Deer again!
It directly compared its speed with the Five-Colored Cloud Deer.
However, in this comparison, although Ye Jingcheng was not as fast as the Five-Colored Cloud Deer in straight-line speed, his explosiveness and agility were in no way inferior.
Ye Jingcheng's joy was even greater.
"Now we're just missing the Divine Soul!" Ye Jingcheng composed himself and summoned the Dream-Devouring Insect.
However, at this moment, the Dream-Devouring Insect had grown much larger again.
Two months before he went into seclusion, Ye Jingcheng successfully refined the second-tier Dream-Swallowing Pill. Now, the second-tier Dream-Devouring Insect has successfully advanced, not only advancing its bloodline but also breaking through to the mid-second tier.
The amplification was even stronger, and his Divine Soul was already approaching the critical point of the Fourth Stage.
He Dream-Devouring Insect to his palm, and this time he gave it the Beast Soul of a peak third-tier Spirit Beast.
This Beast Soul is the soul of a great demon that Jade-Scale Flood Dragon Sun Slash; it is the Beast Soul of an orca.
This was actually quite difficult for the Dream-Devouring Insect, but Ye Jingcheng was at a critical juncture in his breakthrough, and since his physical body had just broken through, he decided to give it his all.
Then Ye Jingcheng took out a spirit pill!
This elixir was entirely purple, with three distinct patterns on it, making it a top-grade elixir— the Purple Soul Pill.
This Purple Soul Pill primarily enhances the Divine Soul of those in the mid or late stages of the Purple Mansion, but with the pill pattern, it's different; it's equally beneficial for those at the peak of the Purple Mansion!
At this moment, Ye Jingcheng's Divine Soul was Fourth Stage away, just one step away!
As soon as he swallowed the elixir, a surge of powerful soul energy rushed into his Purple Mansion. He immediately focused his mind and began cultivating the Heavenly Soul Art.
Although the Heavenly Soul Art provides him with a modest boost now, it is still the most effective refining method.
However, even so, he felt as if his Divine Soul was bound, and there was a cage waiting for him to break through!
Just then, another layer of nightmare enveloped his entire body.
At that moment, he seemed to transform into a carefree orca in the ocean.
His breathing was in sync with that of the killer whale; he leaped, hunted, and swooped through the sea...
When the orca leaped out of the sea, Ye Jingcheng opened his eyes. In an instant, his Divine Soul grew wildly, and his Divine Sense spread outwards like a tsunami.
Until the very end of his Grotto-Heaven!
He still felt he hadn't reached his limit.
At this moment, he also left the Grotto-Heaven and unleashed his Divine Sense to its fullest extent.
His Divine Sense perceived even more distant seas, more distant islands, and even more distant kinds of Demon Beast.
He even sensed the Roc Fish driving away the spirit fish, the gliding of the Golden Falcon, and the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon swallowing a Water-Spined Turtle Demon whole!
Everything became crystal clear.
After a long while, Ye Jingcheng withdrew his Divine Sense, and the joy on his face could no longer be concealed.
Moreover, this time, not only he himself was alarmed, but Ye Shengyi, who was standing next to him, also came out. When he saw that Ye Jingcheng's Divine Sense seemed to be no less than his own, a look of relief and a sense of entitlement appeared on his face.
In the past two years, he has witnessed Ye Jingcheng's cultivation firsthand, from morning till night.
He had heard of Ye Jingcheng's leisurely lifestyle before, so he also thought that Ye Jingcheng was a cultivator who knew how to enjoy life.
But now, in the last two years, he has come to know Ye Jingcheng as an iron man.
"Jingcheng, you can relax now and look at the mountains and the sea!" Ye Shengyi suggested at this moment.
In the past two years, Ye Jingcheng has been training his body, enhancing his soul, and refining pills to condense his True Essence. His spirit has been stretched to its limit!
"Third Ancestor, I will!" Ye Jingcheng nodded as well.
He also knew what Ye Shengyi meant.
And he did indeed reach that point.
Now he needs to relax, Beast Communion, and then condense his core!
