An Arduous Climb, Breakthroughs in Body and Cultivation, and Further Progress in the Wilds Body Refining Technique

On the mountaintop, surrounded by rosy clouds, one could faintly see beams of multicolored light swirling and shooting straight into the sky.

Even from Ye Xuan's position, one could clearly feel the surging Spiritual Qi and Daoist aura.

"What exactly is on this mountaintop? And what is that colorful glow? Is it all Spiritual Qi?"

Looking at the magnificent scene faintly visible on the mountaintop, Ye Xuan was somewhat shocked and couldn't help but murmur to himself.

However, at that moment, with a whoosh, a powerful Spirit Demon rushed towards them, stirring up a violent gale.

With each swing of its sharp claws, a ferocious aura was unleashed as it slashed down furiously towards Ye Xuan's head.

Judging from its speed and the manner of its attacks, this Spirit Demon has already reached the Nascent Soul Realm Peak Stage, making it extremely powerful.

Ye Xuan's expression remained unchanged upon seeing this scene. He simply took a step forward and dodged slightly, thus avoiding the ferocious attack of the Spirit Demon.

The next moment, a golden palm print containing lightning tore out and slammed into the Spirit Demon with a loud bang.

Under that fierce power, the Spirit Demon shattered and exploded in an instant, turning into a stream of Spiritual Qi that rushed into Ye Xuan's body.

Ye Xuan's current cultivation level is already infinitely close to the Golden Core Realm Ninth Level; he is only one step away from truly reaching that level.

However, Ye Xuan did not choose to break through to the next realm. Instead, he continued to suppress it, and the True Solar Fire was being frantically tempered and compressed.

He broke through the previous realm because he felt the pressure from Xue Jiu and the others, which is why he chose to break through.

The pressure isn't as great now, so he doesn't want to break through so quickly.

Sometimes, breaking through too quickly is not a good thing, as it can lead to an unstable foundation.

"Sigh, it seems we're still quite a distance from the mountain peak. We've already seen Nascent Soul Realm Peak Stage Spirit Demon; wouldn't we see Heavenly Position Realm Spirit Demon further up?"

After digesting the Spiritual Qi that had rushed into his body, Ye Xuan couldn't help but look up at the mountain peak and sigh.

If he didn't use the Nine Heavens Dragon Transformation Art, his combat strength would be at most at the Heavenly Position Realm Middle Stage, or even slightly weaker.

If this increasingly strong suppressive force is added on, their combat strength will be further weakened.

Therefore, the pressure is still considerable when facing those Heavenly Position Realm Spirit Demon.

Fortunately, those Spirit Demon lacked intelligence, making them much easier to deal with than cultivators of the same level.

"Let's go. We can't linger here too long. We must obtain the opportunity at the mountain peak as soon as possible and then leave this place."

As Ye Xuan spoke, he continued to accelerate his pace.

The higher you go, the greater the pressure becomes.

Even Ye Xuan felt a sense of unease creeping over him, his legs feeling as heavy as if they weighed a ton.

Only because he possesses the Chaos Sacred Body, has cultivated the Wilds Body Refining Technique, and has tempered his physical body with the Gods and Devils Essence Blood and demons and the Primordial Divine Dragon Essence Blood, could he have possibly made it this far.

According to Ye Xuan's estimation, if Xue Jiu and the others were still alive, this would probably be their limit. Any higher, and they would likely be crushed by that invisible suppressive force and perish.

As expected, as Ye Xuan continued to ascend, the number and strength of the Spirit Demon that appeared also increased.

Each one of them had reached the Heavenly Position Realm level.

Initially, those Spirit Demon were only at the Heavenly Position Realm Early Stage, but as Ye Xuan continued to advance, Spirit Demon at the Heavenly Position Realm Middle Stage appeared.

Ye Xuan was also using all his skills to constantly maneuver against his opponent, which put him under even more pressure.

However, his eyes were incredibly resolute, and even under immense pressure, he did not retreat a single step.

At a certain moment, as Ye Xuan blasted another Heavenly Position Realm Fifth Level Spirit Demon to death, a pillar of Spiritual Qi rushed into his body.

Ye Xuan finally couldn't suppress his cultivation any longer and broke through to the Golden Core Realm Ninth Level!

" Golden Core Realm Ninth Level. Beyond that lies the Supreme Extreme Realm of the Golden Core Realm. I wonder if I'll be able to reach that level."

Ye Xuan felt refreshed as he sensed the vast and surging Spiritual Qi within his body.

Along the way, he faced great pressure, but also gained a lot. Not only did he break through in his cultivation, but he also obtained some valuable spiritual herbs.

Similarly, he saw several more skeletons, all covered in blood. Some were killed by Spirit Demon, while others were killed by cultivators.

This made Ye Xuan even more vigilant, wary of any cultivator who might ambush him.

It should be understood that, under the same conditions, Spirit Demon are inferior to cultivators.

After all, Spirit Demon lack intelligence, while cultivators do, especially cunning cultivators, who are even more dangerous and difficult to deal with.

Fortunately, Ye Xuan did not encounter a single living cultivator along the way.

It's unclear whether there were no more living cultivators ahead of him, or if the other party had already reached the summit.

Thinking of this, Ye Xuan took a deep breath and increased his speed again.

He's worked so hard for so long and wasted so much time; he can't let someone else take the benefits.

If that were the case, he would be incredibly depressed.

Some time passed, and when Ye Xuan was only a thousand meters away from the mountain peak, the Spirit Demon he encountered had all reached the peak of the Heavenly Position Realm Sixth Level Peak.

This is already extremely terrifying.

It should be noted that, according to the original rules, only cultivators below the Heavenly Position Realm were allowed to enter the Xuanyuan Mystic Realm.

The fact that Heavenly Position Realm Sixth Level Peak Spirit Demon has appeared on this mountain means what?

I don't know if it's because the rules changed, which caused everything inside to change as well.

If that's the case, then it's somewhat better; but if not, then it's terrifying.

Ye Xuan unleashed the Nine Heavens Dragon Transformation Formula, giving it his all, and barely managed to kill the Heavenly Position Realm Sixth Level Peak Spirit Demon. He was utterly exhausted.

An overwhelming pressure surged forth, and Ye Xuan felt immense difficulty with every step he took.

It felt as if thousands of giant mountains were pressing down on him, and his legs were so heavy that he could hardly lift them.

"Damn it, we're almost there! There's no reason to give up now!"

Ye Xuan gritted his teeth, frantically absorbing the Spiritual Qi beam that surged in after killing the Spirit Demon, while staring intently at the mountain peak not far away, and continued to walk.

It's rather comical that a cultivator at the Golden Core Realm Ninth Level is sweating profusely at this moment.

step,

Two steps

Three steps!

After taking three steps, suddenly, a loud booming sound seemed to emanate from Ye Xuan's body, and he immediately felt the pressure ease.

His physical body actually broke through its limits at this moment!

The Wilds Body Refining Technique even skipped two levels, breaking through directly from the sixth level to the eighth level!

Upon witnessing this scene, Ye Xuan was first slightly taken aback, and then couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

It should be noted that this Wilds Body Refining Technique is extremely difficult to cultivate; each level is incredibly challenging.

Furthermore, the Wilds Body Refining Technique is designed to temper his Chaos Sacred Body, making further improvement even more difficult.

Ye Xuan hadn't expected that under this pressure, he would actually cross two levels in a row, going directly from the sixth level to the eighth level. This was truly an unexpected delight!

With the breakthrough in the Wilds Body Refining Technique, Ye Xuan's physical body once again broke through its limits, and he immediately felt a sense of relaxation throughout his body, allowing him to increase his speed once more.

Half an hour later, he was less than a hundred meters away from the mountain peak.

From this vantage point, he could clearly see the scene atop the mountain.

On the mountaintop, there was a pool more than ten meters in diameter, its surface shimmering with light, filled with spiritual water.

The spiritual water seemed to contain some kind of Daoist principles, emitting a colorful halo that swirled around the water, forming rays of light that shot straight into the sky.

"Holy crap, this is... Spiritual Qi liquefaction? No, it's not just simple Spiritual Qi liquefaction; it seems to have something unique about it. Could it be... the Daoist principles of rules?"

Ye Xuan stared wide-eyed at the pool full of spiritual water.

Even with his sharp mind, seeing this scene made his heart pound uncontrollably.
