With a sudden shift in space, Ling Yi regained his senses and found himself on a lake.
This sudden, earth-shattering force caused Ling Yi to lose his composure and fall directly into the lake.
Just as Ling Yi was about to fly out of the lake, he sensed something different about the water.
The lake water contains incredibly pure energy of heaven and earth, far superior to the jumbled energy within Ling Yi's body.
As the energy of heaven and earth continuously flowed into his body, Ling Yi could clearly feel that his body was undergoing a transformation. Ling Yi couldn't describe the specifics, but he knew it should be a good thing for him.
Ling Yi felt very comfortable at this moment, and his whole body and mind were more relaxed than ever before.
Before I knew it, I had drifted off to sleep.
This lake is no ordinary lake; it is the Ascension Pool.
It is a lake of liquefied energy that can only be born where the two realms are connected.
However, this Ascension Pool is only effective for those who Ascension from the lower realm, and it is only effective the first time; it is a cleansing process to shed the dust of the mortal world.
When Ling Yi woke up again, more than twenty hours had passed.
He was awakened by the system notification sound.
"Ding, the Blood Shadow System reset and update are complete. Please check it yourself."
Ling Yi flew out of the lake, but did not check the system. He Perception someone coming, but for the time being, Ling Yi did not want to come into contact with the people of this world.
He used Spatial Teleportation to Teleportation directly to a large mountain dozens of miles away.
"The space in this world is indeed much more stable. If this were the Heavenly Origin Continent, I would probably be thousands of miles away."
"Check the system!" Ling Yi thought to himself, and the next moment, a brand new system interface appeared before Ling Yi eyes.

Wow, that's a pretty big change.
The system clearly doesn't want to let itself lie low and get away with nothing by relying on Blood Shadow.
System upgrades require Spirit Stone! What are Spirit Stone? They're like the Mane of the Immortal Cultivation Realm!
So, does this mean we have to find our own way to make money?
Another point that displeased Ling Yi was that he couldn't directly Summon the Blood Shadow of the Heavenly Origin Continent, at least not now; perhaps he could after the system upgrade.
In other words, Ling Yi is now all alone.
The biggest Changes wasn't in the system, but in Ling Yi himself.
At this moment, Ling Yi's Spiritual Qi was churning and boiling like a lake in his Dantian.
Within Ling Yi's Sea of Consciousness, a five-colored lotus platform appeared, upon which sat Spirit Nascent Soul, its body surrounded by flowing rainbow energy.
All of Ling Yi's Divine Ability are contained within this Spirit Nascent Soul.
Each time the Spirit Nascent Soul uses its Divine Ability, it mobilizes the Spiritual Qi in its lower Dantian and the Spiritual Qi lake. By consuming this Spiritual Qi, it can unleash its Divine Ability.
Cultivation is truly something incredibly amazing.
It's hard for you to understand why there's a lake of Spiritual Qi in the Dantian, or why there's a lotus platform and a little figure in your head.
Because Ling Yi doesn't need to cultivate, and has never cultivated, he knows many West City but doesn't understand why.
But that didn't matter to Ling Yi; as long as it worked, that was enough.
As for cultivation and such, I'll really have to study it properly when I have the chance in the future.
After Perception his surroundings, Ling Yi's figure vanished from the spot in the next instant.
Two months later, in a restaurant in White Moon City, Ling Yi was drinking while staring blankly at the street outside.
Just then, he overheard the conversation of several young people at the next table.
" Brother Tang, Brother Bai, are you aware of the annihilation of the bandits on Emerald Peak Mountain?" one of them Human Dao, his expression clearly showing he wanted to show off.
"What, Old Gao, what amazing thing did you find out from your brother-in-law again?" The man called Brother Tang looked at him helplessly and said.
"The bandits of Emerald Peak Mountain are Spiritual Cultivation, said to have reached the seventh level of Qi Absorption, and they have more than three thousand henchmen and countless experts under their command. How could they possibly be wiped out?"
Another young man, called Brother Bai, shook his head, clearly not believing it.
"My brother-in-law is a high-ranking official in White Moon City, how could the news be false?"
After a pause, the man called Old Gao continued, "The Big Head was killed; his body was charred. He was killed by lightning-based Divine Ability. Anyone capable of using Divine Ability must be at least at the Spirit Platform Realm."
"That's the Spirit Platform Stage realm! There aren't many Spirit Platform Stage realm experts in our Linnan Region."
"If only I could join the Asgard this time! If I could become a cultivator, who would want to be A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality?" Old Bai said, his eyes filled with longing as he gazed out the window at the palace-like buildings in the distance.
" Old Bai, are you really going to sign up?"
"Give it a try. If you don't have the aptitude for cultivation, so be it. You'll forget about it and just be a normal A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality."
"The registration fee is ten Low-Grade Spirit Stone! You wouldn't happen to be...?"
Old Bai chuckled, "Yes, the old house has been sold, and in another year we'll be past the prime age for engraving Spirit Absorption Formation Pattern. If we don't give it a try, we won't be satisfied."
"I don't have your guts!"
At this moment, an old man came up the stairs. After seeing Ling Yi, the old man walked straight over and respectfully handed him a storage bag.
"How many?" Ling Yi asked.
Five thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stone!
"Not bad!" Ling Yi nodded.
"Let's go!" Ling Yi tossed a piece of broken silver onto the table, stood up, and walked towards the stairwell.
The old man followed behind him with utmost respect, like an old servant.
Only after Ling Yi and his companion had left did Old Tang and the others breathe a sigh of relief.
"This pressure... that old man must be a cultivator."
"Five thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stone! Even my brother-in-law doesn't have that many Spirit Stone."
"Looks like they're here to enroll in the Asgard Academy too."
"Of course! Everyone who's come to White Moon City lately is here to register!"
On the street, Ling Yi and the old man walked towards the enormous, palace-like building in the center of White Moon City.
This old man was named Zhuge Feiyu, the second-in-command of Emerald Peak Mountain. He was originally a Spiritual Cultivation at the sixth level of the Nascent Spirit Absorption Realm and was the first Blood Shadow Summon Ling Yi in the Nine Palaces Realm.
With a tenfold increase, he has now reached the eighth level of the Spirit Absorption Realm.
Therefore, it was Ling Yi who wiped out the bandits of Emerald Peak Mountain.
The goal is simple: Spirit Stone!
In the Nine Palaces Realm, the cultivation stages of Spiritual Cultivation are: Spirit Absorption, Qi Manipulation, Spirit Manipulation, Spirit Platform, Spirit God, Dharma Body, Tribulation Transcendence, and Ascension. Each stage is further divided into nine minor stages.
Perception Spiritual Qi, Qi Absorption into the body, and when the Spiritual Qi forms a vortex in the Dantian, one reaches the Spirit Absorption Realm.
Releasing Spiritual Qi outwards, using Spiritual Qi to harm enemies when it leaves the body, and forming Spiritual Qi into a cluster—these are the Qi Manipulation Realm.
In the Spirit Mastery Realm, Spiritual Qi springs forth, opening the Sea of Consciousness and drawing Spiritual Qi from the Dantian into Sea of Consciousness.
The Spirit Platform Stage, from which Spiritual Qi flows, gives Spirit Platform within the Sea of Consciousness, from Spirit Platform the Golden Core is formed, and from Golden Core Divine Ability are born.
In the Spirit God Realm, Spiritual Qi forms a lake, lotus petals sprout from the Spirit Platform to form a lotus throne, and upon the lotus throne, the elixir breaks through to become Spirit Nascent Soul!
Ling Yi is currently at the Spirit God Realm cultivation level.
Above the Spirit God Realm lies the Dharma Body Realm, where Spiritual Qi forms a sea, and the Spirit Nascent Infant on the lotus platform is clad in armor. Only when the Divine Spirit Nascent Infant is like me can I be myself, but the Spirit Nascent Soul can manifest as the Dharma Body.
Of these eight realms, the most difficult and dangerous is the Tribulation Transcendence Realm.
The Tribulation Transcendence is divided into nine levels, each level consisting of a Lightning Tribulation. Each time a Lightning Tribulation is successfully overcome, one-tenth of the Spiritual Qi within the body will be converted into Immortal Qi.
After the Nine Heavens Tribulation, all Spiritual Qi is transformed into Immortal Qi, Spirit Nascent Soul infant becomes Immortal Nascent Soul, capable of Ascension to the upper realm.
What's interesting is that before reaching the Spirit Platform Realm, Spiritual Cultivation generally don't practice cultivation techniques.
Instead, it involves drawing Qi-gathering Qi Gathering Formation Pattern Qi Gathering Formation Pattern in the Dantian area and activating these patterns to absorb Spiritual Power from heaven and earth.
As a result, this world gained a special profession: the array painter.
The higher the level of the Qi Gathering Formation Pattern that an array painter can inscribe, the higher the array painter's rank.
The cost of having a master artist inscribe Qi Gathering Formation Pattern pattern for someone is quite high.
This thing isn't particularly difficult, nor does it require a high level of cultivation. The reason it's so expensive is simply because the technology is monopolized by the various Heavenly Palace.
There are no wild array masters among the common people, and the Heavenly Palace does not allow array masters to appear among the common people, nor does it allow them to privately inscribe Qi Gathering Formation Pattern for others.
Once discovered, they will be Thunder eliminated.
It can be said that the various Heavenly Palace Heavenly Palace earn a massive amount of Spirit Stone every year simply by monopolizing the array painters.
Of course, this doesn't mean you can't cultivate without a formation master.
If one possesses a cultivation technique, one can also Qi Absorption into the body through cultivation.
However, it is impossible for a person to cultivate continuously for 24 hours a day, but the Qi Gathering Formation Pattern allows you to automatically absorb the Earth Spirit anytime, anywhere.
Array masters are a unique product of this world.
Once one reaches the Spirit Platform Realm, different kinds of Innate Divine Ability divine abilities will be generated based on one's talent and aptitude.
At this point, there's generally no need to cultivate any special techniques; simply mastering some application skills specific to one's own Divine Ability abilities is sufficient.
It can be said that although the Body Refining in this world is fancy and elaborate, the cultivation methods are extremely simple and brutal.
White Moon City is the largest city in the Linnan Region, where cultivators outnumber ordinary people.
Because there is a Asgard Academy in White Moon City.
To be precise, each major region of the Nine Palaces Realm has a Asgard Academy.
These Asgard Academy were jointly established by the nine Asgard; they are a joint educational program of the nine Asgard.
Therefore, each Asgard Academy is divided into nine departments, and the competition between them is fierce.
Early January is the common enrollment day for all the Great Realm Immortal Asgard Academy.
