Becoming a cultivator gave Ling Yi Ling Yi endless novel experiences, which he thoroughly enjoyed.
Ling Yi couldn't resist and tapped the "+" sign next to [Cultivation] a few more times, consuming 100 points of physique.
To Ling Yi's surprise, he did not advance to the Foundation Establishment Realm, but instead jumped directly to the fifteenth level of the Qi Refining Realm.
"So, I'm unable to Foundation Establishment? Or is my Qi Refining Realm different from others?" Ling Yi murmured Sword Control Flight.
However, it didn't matter to Ling Yi; as long as he became stronger, that was all that mattered.
If you were to ask what the biggest difference is between before and after becoming a cultivator, it would be in two words: Gao Qing.
The way we "see" the world has changed; we see it more clearly now.
It's like someone with severe myopia suddenly getting a pair of glasses with a perfectly matching prescription.
This feeling is truly indescribable to Human Dao.
Another ten days passed, and Ling Yi finally arrived at the Golden Cauldron Sect.
However, something seems a little off about the Golden Cauldron Sect!
The sect's grand formation was fully activated, and the sect itself was on high alert.
It's daytime now, and if Ling Yi were to Teleportation in recklessly, it might cause some misunderstanding. It's better to wait until night. Anyway, he's just here to sign in, not to cause trouble.
Ling Yi's Ying Yi, and he directly entered his Personal Small World.
My Personal Small World has grown considerably.
Consuming physical strength to improve a cultivator's realm will not reduce the size of their Personal Small World.
Just like it doesn't reduce the power of the Protective Thorn Formation.
These are not related to the physical fitness stat. The physical fitness stat is just a standard parameter. Ling Yi's own strength is the main factor affecting these parameters.
Of course, no matter how it changes, it's only a few hundred meters long, wide, and high now. It's nothing like the world, and it can't even compare to a large warehouse.
However, the concentration of Spiritual Qi in the Personal Small World is increasing as the World Tree grows.
Ling Yi tried to absorb Qi Cultivation, but unfortunately, it was still useless.
He could Perception Spiritual Qi, but he couldn't absorb Spiritual Qi, which was quite frustrating.
It seems that Ling Yi can only rely on the system to improve his cultivation level.
The Personal Small World also has a hidden function: it allows you to directly "see" what's happening outside from within the Personal Small World.
It's roughly similar to... having countless cameras installed around your Personal Small World, allowing you to see the outside world from every angle without any blind spots.
Whichever direction you want to look in, a "monitor" will appear in that direction, directly displaying the content outside.
In other words, if Ling Yi wanted, he could stay in the small world forever and never leave.
However, the only drawback is that Ling Yi cannot move while inside his Personal Small World.
If one could control their Personal Small World to move around, they would be truly invincible.
Ling Yi activated the "monitoring" system in the direction of the Golden Cauldron Sect, partly to see why the Golden Cauldron Sect had activated its sect's protective array as if facing a major enemy.
One aspect is waiting for nightfall.
The Personal Small World doesn't yet have day and night, so if you don't keep an eye on the outside world, it's easy to lose track of time.
Meanwhile, inside the main hall of the Golden Cauldron Sect, Sect Master Jin Wudi and a group of elders all wore worried expressions.
"Still no response?" one of the elders asked.
Jin Wudi shook his head, his face extremely ugly.
"These idiots! They were all involved in the destruction of the Illusory Demon Sect back then. Now that crazy woman has broken through to the Spirit Transformation Realm and is coming for revenge, do they really think they can escape this calamity by playing dead?"
Another elder roared.
"Alas, the disaster of that year stemmed from greed. There was a cause and an effect. The Illusory Demon Art Technique had too many drawbacks; it was useless to cultivate but a pity to abandon. It was truly a losing proposition."
Jin Wudi sighed.
Back then, the Da Xian sects attacked the Illusory Demon Sect under the banner of exorcising demons, their real aim being the Illusory Demon Art, which could convert lifespan into cultivation.
The Illusory Demon Sect was wiped out overnight, with only the Illusory Demon Sect's eighth elder, Yan Wuji, escaping Yan Wuji injured, but this also left behind a future threat.
The crucial point is that after Jin Wudi and the others studied the Illusion Illusory Demon Art Illusory Demon Art, they discovered that it consumed not only lifespan but also potential and foundation.
Although it can improve one's cultivation level in a short period of time, it will ultimately only keep one stuck at the Body Integration Realm, with no hope of breaking through for the rest of one's life.
If that were all, it wouldn't be so bad.
After all, those at the Body Integration Realm are powerful experts who can dominate an entire province, and Cloud Province doesn't have a single one at the Body Integration Realm yet.
Even with the Illusory Demon Art, breaking through to the Body Integration Realm isn't easy.
The worse one's aptitude, the more lifespan one consumes when using the Illusory Demon Art to advance one's realm. Most cultivators, even if they exhaust all their lifespan, probably still cannot break through to the Body Integration Realm.
Even with extraordinary talent, once you break through to the Body Integration Realm, there's still one final hurdle to overcome: Tribulation Transcendence!
The Body Integration Realm, achieved by consuming lifespan through the Illusory Demon Art, is destined to fail Tribulation Transcendence.
Therefore, for cultivators with high talent and good aptitude, using the Illusory Demon Art is tantamount to digging their own grave.
Those with poor aptitude won't be able to reach a high level in cultivating the Illusory Demon Art because their lifespan won't be enough to sustain them.
Let alone the Body Integration Realm, most cultivators are already doing very well if they can exchange for the Nascent Soul Realm; exchanging for anything more would be tantamount to killing themselves.
Yan Wuji almost killed himself back then, Later he went into seclusion in the mountains, but his lifespan was already short, and he was just waiting to die.
But who could have imagined that Yan Wuji had a woman, a genius woman with a Fourth Pin fire-type Earth Spiritual Root?
This woman's name is Yan Ling. Three hundred years ago, she joined a large immortal cultivation sect in Sea Province, the Moon Gazing Sect, and was even Moon Gazing Sect leader.
There is no clear division of the levels of cultivation sects, but over the years, people have become accustomed to dividing sects into Super Saiyan 4, based on the realm and number of powerful cultivators within the sect.
Small sects are a different story; they're quite chaotic. Better small sects might have Golden Core Realm cultivator in charge.
In some remote areas, any cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Realm can create a sect, just like the Wangshu Sect Ling Yi passed through before.
Sects with the Nascent Soul Realm expert in charge are considered medium-sized sects, such as the Golden Cauldron Sect, whose sect leader Jin Wudi, is a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator.
Large sects inevitably have cultivators at the Spirit Transformation Realm in charge.
Only sects with experts at the Body Integration Realm can be called super sects.
Take the Moon Gazing Sect for example; they have more than one Body Integration Realm, making them far more formidable than the Golden Cauldron Sect.
In other words, even if the Golden Cauldron Sect MU Online kills Yan Ling, they will likely be wiped out by the Big Shot of the Moon Gazing Sect in the next moment.
This is also the main reason why the other three major sects are feigning death or waiting to die.
If you can't fight them, and you can't afford to offend them, what else can you do but play dead and admit defeat?
Jin Wudi didn't know what to do either. Even if all the cultivation sects in Cloud Province were united, it wouldn't be enough to wipe out the Moon Gazing Sect in Sea Province.
Just then, a series of loud explosions suddenly rang out above the Golden Cauldron Sect.
Immediately following, a domineering female voice rang out. " The Golden Cauldron Sect shall be destroyed today."
Jin Wudi quickly led the elders out of the main hall and looked up at the sky.
A crimson figure was hovering above the sect's grand formation, Daodao terrifying Huoyan giant palms were slamming down on the formation one after another.
That terrifying power caused the great formation to shake and vibrate, and it was estimated that it would collapse soon.
Jin Wudi sighed again, his face bitter as he flew into the sky. Across the great formation, he clasped his hands in a fist salute to Yan Ling Fist Dao, "Senior, please calm your anger. I, Jin Wudi, will take full responsibility for what happened back then. I am willing to accept my fate. The path to immortality is arduous. Please spare the life of my Golden Cauldron Sect."
Yan Ling completely ignored Jin Wudi; she had a fiery and domineering personality, and Yan Wuji was the only love of her life.
Yan Wuji's death was a huge blow to her.
The hatred in my heart cannot be quelled unless the four immortal cultivation sects that besieged the Illusory Demon Sect back then are destroyed.
How could Jin Wudi atone for his past crimes?
Yan Ling slammed her giant palm of Spiritual Power against the protective shield, not bothering to waste words with Jin Wudi.
Jin Wudi sighed helplessly. The Immortal Cultivation Realm is Strong Digestion world. If you are stronger than others, whatever you do is right. If you are weaker than others, there is no right or wrong.
Back then, the Golden Cauldron Sect, together with the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, the Black Tortoise Sect, and the Mystic Fire Sect, arbitrarily assigned the title of a Demonic Sect sect to the Illusory Demon Sect, thus erasing this sect that had been passed down for thousands of years.
The Illusory Demon Sect was like this, and today, Karma is repeating itself; the Golden Cauldron Sect will be the same.
The attack power of a Nascent Spirit Transformation Realm expert is terrifying. That giant Huoyan palm may seem simple, but it actually contains the power of heaven and earth and is Huoyan power known for its destruction.
With just four palm strikes, the mountain-protecting formation was already on the verge of collapse.
However, the fact that this mountain-protecting formation could withstand four consecutive attacks from a Spirit Transformation Realm expert shows that it is quite remarkable.
With the fifth palm strike, the mountain-protecting formation was finally breached, and the array plates that held the formation in place reached their Limit, exploding Ruyan.
Yan Ling's eyes were filled with indifference and killing intent. With a wave of her hand, she conjured an even larger Huoyan giant hand.
This giant Huoyan palm is clearly designed for increased area; its overall power remains Changes. It simply increases the area of effect to increase the palm's lethal range.
But just then, a voice suddenly appeared behind Yan Ling.
"Wait, wait, don't attack yet, let me check in first."
The voice clearly came from behind Yan Ling, but the next moment, Ling Yi appeared in front of Yan Ling.
The Protective Thorn Formation is activated simultaneously.
"Boom!"
The next moment, the giant Huoyan palm slammed into Ling Yi's Protective Thorn Formation.
The counter-damage force, several times greater, instantly amplified the power of the palm strike and reflected it back.
Yan Ling was like a kite with a broken string, blasted backward thousands of meters by the force of the rebound.
"Hmm, uh!"
Yan Ling barely managed to steady herself, blood spilling from her mouth. This attack had severely injured her.
This was even with her wearing defensive magical armor; otherwise, Yan Ling would have been killed if she had taken that hit.
Yan Ling's eyes were bloodshot. She took out two pills from her storage bracelet and swallowed them before she had time to examine Ling Yi.
Yan Ling was startled when she saw Ling Yi's face clearly.
How could it be this kid? Isn't he just an ordinary A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality raised by Yan Wuji?
Is this A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality?
Looking at the boy's cultivation level, Yan Ling found it even more difficult to understand.
The Qi Refining Realm Great Perfection? That's impossible.
She, a dignified Nascent Spirit Transformation Realm cultivator, was actually severely injured by a Qi Refining Realm youth? This was completely beyond her comprehension.
Or perhaps this kid possesses a priceless treasure?
Yan Ling wasn't the only one who thought this way; everyone in the Golden Cauldron Sect shared the same opinion.
A fleeting glint of greed crossed Jin Wudi's eyes. A mere Qi Refining Realm could injure a Nascent Spirit Transformation Realm with this "supreme treasure" —Na Ruo he could obtain the defensive treasure on this person, wouldn't that be...?
"Thank you for saving me, young friend!" Jin Wudi took a deep breath, suppressed his greed, and clasped his hands in thanks to Ling Yi.
Now is not the time to seize treasures; the most important thing now is to resolve the crisis that threatens the Golden Cauldron Sect's demise.
While signing in, Ling Yi asked Jin Wudi, "Can you tell me what happened?"
Jin Wudi hesitated for a long time before making no attempt to hide anything and recounting the whole story.
Ling Yi frowned. Was Yan Ling Yan Wuji's woman? Was she a true disciple of the Moon Gazing Sect, a large sect in Sea Province? How could Yan Ling avenge Yan Wuji...?
Ling Yi didn't care about any past grudges or conflicts between Yan Ling and the four sects, including the Golden Cauldron Sect.
What concerned him was that the Ten Thousand Swords Sect was also involved.
You should know that Ling Yi just sent Little Liu Wei to the Ten Thousand Swords Sect. If Yan Ling were to cause trouble for the Ten Thousand Swords Sect Ten Thousand Swords Sect, the sect's fate would probably be the same as that of the Golden Cauldron Sect.
Golden Cauldron Sect couldn't withstand Yan Ling's retaliation, then the Ten Thousand Swords Sect naturally couldn't either.
That won't do.
By this time, Ling Yi had already finished signing in.
"Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing the check-in at the designated location and receiving the reward ' Infinite Inheritance ' Divine Ability..."
