Han Xuanji didn't make any extra movements. This kind of food didn't need complicated seasonings or special cooking; it could be eaten directly.
Of course, cooking is possible if conditions permit, but it takes too much time. Perhaps I can try the food in the Eternal Continent sometime in the future.
"I heard from Hun Qianling that many foods on the Eternal Continent are highly nourishing for cultivators. I wonder how they differ from the foods of the Immortal Realm?"
Han Xuanji reached out and tore off a piece of fish meat about the size of her palm. The meat was firm, with a faint coolness, and no fishy smell at all.
Han Xuanji put the fish in his mouth and chewed it gently. To his surprise, the taste was quite good.
While not quite a delicacy, it was still fresh and crisp, without the raw or astringent taste one might expect.
The moment the fish entered my stomach, a vast yet gentle surge of Qi of Eternity erupted, flowing down my throat and into my body, rapidly circulating through my limbs and bones. The feeling of being filled with energy was far more intense than simply absorbing Qi of Eternity and then cultivating.
"Not bad, it's less effective than Water of Eternity, but it might be more suitable for me."
A hint of surprise flashed in Han Xuanji's eyes. He then closed his eyes and, without further delay, chewed on the flesh of the Hongmeng Flying Fish while silently circulating his cultivation Cultivation Method, focusing all his efforts on refining the surging Qi of Eternity within his body.
The fish melted in his mouth, each bite bringing a continuous flow of energy. The Qi of Eternity in the cultivation room mingled with the energy in the fish, surrounding him and causing his aura to become increasingly solid at a visible speed. The distance to the Eternal Dao Master Second Layer was also gradually closing.
At the same time, he can also begin to try to cultivate one of the soul-path Divine Ability in the " Great Thousand Soul Book," the Eternal Soul Sword.
There are many dangers in the Primordial Sea; any improvement we can make is a good one.
As the days passed, Han Xuanji devoted himself to cultivation in the cultivation room, consuming the Hongmeng Flying Fish while refining the Qi of Eternity, attempting to cultivate the Eternal Soul Sword Divine Ability from the Great Thousand Soul Book.
He ate slowly and deliberately, chewing each bite carefully and refining it with all his might, not daring to waste the slightest bit. As he consumed the Hongmeng Flying Fish day after day, it was gradually eaten up.
As the last piece of fish entered his stomach, Han Xuanji slowly opened his eyes, a trace of melancholy flashing in them.
He could clearly feel that his cultivation had become much more solid than before, and his cultivation of the Eternal Soul Sword had also made initial progress. He could condense a weak amount of soul sword power at his fingertips, but his realm was still at the peak of the Eternal Dao Master First Layer, and he had not been able to break through that shackle and reach the second level.
"As expected, relying solely on arduous cultivation and the Hongmeng Flying Fish is still not enough."
Han Xuanji murmured softly, not feeling too disappointed, as she had already expected it.
Breaking through to the Eternal Dao Master Realm is extremely difficult, with significant differences between each level. The energy of the Hongmeng Flying Fish can only stabilize the realm at best; it is far from sufficient for a true breakthrough.
After a moment's thought, Han Xuanji stopped worrying and reached out to retrieve the remaining Water of Eternity from his System Space.
A pure and powerful aura instantly spread out, nourishing his soul and body.
"Whether it's a waste or not, right now, the most important thing is to quickly improve our strength."
Han Xuanji thought to himself, and without the slightest hesitation, raised his hand and slowly poured the Water of Eternity from the bottle into his mouth.
Having reached the Eternal Dao Master Realm, he became much more unrestrained.
The cool, sweet liquid entered his stomach and instantly transformed into infinitely pure Qi of Eternity, sweeping through his entire body. This energy was more than a hundred times more concentrated than the energy contained in the Hongmeng Flying Fish, yet it was gentle, cleansing his physical body and Dao foundation.
Han Xuanji no longer focused on simply refining energy. Instead, he circulated his cultivation Cultivation Method to absorb the power of the Water of Eternity while immersing his mind in his soul to continue refining the Eternal Soul Sword's Divine Ability. At the same time, he began to ponder the matter of condensing the second Eternal Dao Principle.
" The Primordial Sea is fraught with danger, Fate Dao Principle is biased towards support, making it completely incapable of dealing with direct combat. I must condense an offensive Dao Principles to gain a foothold among those of the same realm and at least have a means of counterattack."
After much deliberation, Han Xuanji finally decided to condense the Sword Dao Principle.
The Sword Dao Principle sharp and domineering, with extremely strong offensive power. It is in harmony with the Eternal Soul Sword Divine Ability that he is currently cultivating. The two work together to greatly enhance his combat power. Once it is formed, he will never be a weakling even in the Eternal Dao Master Realm.
Having determined the direction, Han Xuanji no longer became distracted and devoted himself entirely to cultivation and deduction.
While consuming the Water of Eternity to nourish his Dao foundation and break through his realm with its pure power, he also devoted himself to deducing the Eternal-level Sword Dao Principle, pushing his understanding of the Sword Dao to new heights.
Time passed slowly, Thousand Spirits warship sailed smoothly on the Primordial Sea. Its automatic navigation mode avoided countless dangers. Occasionally, powerful Hongmeng Variant would swim by in the distance, but they never discovered this warship that concealed its presence.
Unbeknownst to them, a full year had passed since they began sailing on the Primordial Sea.
Throughout the year, Han Xuanji never left the cultivation room, working diligently day and night. The power of the Water of Eternity was gradually depleted by him, but his efforts finally paid off.
On this day, a powerful aura suddenly erupted in the cultivation room. Azure and silver light intertwined, and the Daoist charm flowed around Han Xuanji. The sound of a sword echoed faintly, and a sharp and domineering Sword Dao pressure spread out, enveloping the entire cultivation room.
He closed his eyes tightly, and between his brows, a silver sword-shaped inscription on the Eternal Dao Fruit slowly condensed and took shape, echoing the original Fate Dao Principle. The two Eternal Dao Principle intertwined and emanated an even more powerful aura.
"It's done!"
Han Xuanji suddenly opened his eyes, a dazzling light flashing in them. His aura surged dramatically, and he steadily stepped into the Eternal Dao Master Second Layer.
He could clearly feel that his strength was much greater than when he first entered the Primordial Sea Sword Dao Principle operated, he could condense incomparably sharp eternal sword power at his fingertips. Combined with the Eternal Soul Sword Divine Ability and aided by the Fate Dao Principle, his combat power had far surpassed that of an ordinary Eternal Dao Master Second Layer cultivator.
He raised his hand and waved it, and a silver soul sword materialized out of thin air, its blade shrouded in a faint Qi of Eternity. Han Xuanji nodded in satisfaction.
"I feel I should be able to put up a fight against cultivators of the same level on the Eternal Continent."
Such significant progress in just over a year is quite remarkable.
But the next second, Han Xuanji's expression darkened slightly, and his tone carried a hint of melancholy:
"However, the Water of Eternity has also been exhausted..."
This bottle of Water of Eternity was a precious resource he brought from Chaos, but it has now been completely exhausted. Without the system, it would be very difficult for him to find such a pure cultivation resource with his current abilities.
However, Han Xuanji did not regret it. After all, with the help of the Water of Eternity, he not only broke through to the Eternal Dao Master Second Layer, but also condensed the Sword Dao Principle and cultivated the Eternal Soul Sword Divine Ability.
This sacrifice was ultimately worthwhile.
Han Xuanji got up and stretched his body. Daoist energy flowed around him as he felt the abundant power within him. He really wanted to find someone to test his skills against.
But right now, only Hun Qianling is there. It seems that the other party is still cultivating and is very close to the Eternal Dao Master Realm.
"We can't keep eating and drinking for free; it's time to do something."
Han Xuanji thought that Hun Qianling could hunt down some weaker Primordial Hongmeng Variant along the way. Now that he had broken through to the Eternal Dao Master Second Layer, his combat power had greatly increased, so he should be able to do it too. Perhaps he could even capture more valuable Hongmeng Variant, which would not only replenish his cultivation resources but also hone his skills.
