Secluded Cultivation, Attempting Dao Integration
On this day, in the Grotto-Heaven dwelling of Li Yunjing, the Sect Master's cave abode of Luozhen Island.
The cave abode exudes a warm glow, and the Spiritual Qi in the air is so rich that it is almost liquid. With a gentle breath, one can feel the pure energy flowing into the body.
In the center of the cave abode, Li Yunjing sat cross-legged on a huge warm jade bed, his eyes closed, surrounded by a faint golden halo.
Above his head, a black True Dragon phantom several meters long coiled and danced, which was the incarnation of the Northern Dark True Spirit.
Li Yunjing raised his right hand, feeling the surging spiritual energy within his body.
Now that he has reached the Late Spirit Transformation, and with the farce of the Luozhen Conquest Alliance, Li Yunjing feels it's time for him to go into seclusion and cultivate.
Li Yunjing had already handed over the rest of the instructions; the others in the Luozhen Sect Luozhen Sect manage it well, so he didn't need to worry.
Li Yunjing took a deep breath, closed his eyes again, and focused his mind into his body, beginning to circulate the "Supreme Unity Pure Subtlety Scripture".
"Northern Dark True Spirit, I beg you." Li Yunjing murmured to himself.
"Don't worry, kid," the voice of Northern Dark True Spirit echoed in his mind, "With me here, I guarantee you'll break through to the Dao Integration Realm in the shortest amount of time."
As soon as he finished speaking, the dragon shadow of Northern Dark True Spirit trembled violently.
In an instant, the entire Northern Darkness Ancestral Vein trembled violently.
Countless streams of extremely pure Earth Vein Spiritual Qi surged forth from underground, flowing into the core cave abode of the Ancestral Vein like a tide, forming a huge vortex of Spiritual Qi above Li Yunjing's head.
Li Yunjing opened his mouth, like a whale sucking in water, and inhaled a massive amount of Spiritual Qi into his body.
Boom!
The moment the Spiritual Qi entered his body, Li Yunjing felt a sharp, throbbing pain in his meridians.
But he was prepared. He activated the Supreme Unity Pure Subtlety Scripture to quickly refine the Spiritual Qi he absorbed and transform it into his own spiritual power.
The Northern Dark True Spirit continuously drew upon the Spiritual Qi of the Ancestral Vein, causing the vortex of Spiritual Qi to grow larger and more concentrated.
In the end, the entire cave abode was filled with golden Spiritual Qi, and Li Yunjing's figure became blurred.
In just one hour, Li Yunjing absorbed the Spiritual Qi equivalent to ten years of arduous cultivation for an ordinary Spirit Transformation cultivator.
But that's not enough.
The Northern Dark True Spirit exerted its power once more, its dragon claw gently gripping the ground.
Crystals, sparkling and radiating a rich earth vein aura, slowly rose from the ground and floated around Li Yunjing.
These are the Earth Vein Essence, each one priceless, and even Dao Union True Lord would find it difficult to obtain just one.
Now, a full ten thousand Earth Vein Essence have appeared in the cave abode at the same time.
"Refining these Earth Vein Essence will help you temper your physical body and nourish your soul, laying a solid foundation for breaking through to the Dao Integration Realm," said the Northern Dark True Spirit.
Li Yunjing nodded, and with a thought, the Earth Vein Essence flew into his body one by one.
Once the Earth Vein Essence enters the body, it transforms into a gentle yet powerful energy that flows throughout the body along the meridians.
Nourished by this energy, Li Yunjing's physical body became more resilient, his soul became more solid, and his understanding of the Principle of heaven and earth became increasingly clear.
Time passed day by day.
Li Yunjing was completely immersed in cultivation, forgetting about time and everything in the outside world.
He drinks in massive amounts of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi every day and refines dozens of Earth Vein Essence, and his cultivation level is improving at a visible speed.
Moreover, his proficiency with the Supreme Unity Pure Subtlety Scripture is also rapidly improving.
The Supreme Unity Pure Subtlety Scripture has twelve levels. Li Yunjing had only cultivated to the sixth level before, reaching the minor completion stage.
With the help of the Northern Dark True Spirit and the nourishment of the Earth Vein Essence, he broke through the seventh, eighth, and ninth levels one by one.
With each level of cultivation, Li Yunjing's strength would increase dramatically, and his understanding of the "Supreme Unity Pure Subtlety Scripture" would also deepen.
When he cultivated to the tenth level, he could clearly feel the flow of every wisp of Spiritual Qi and the fluctuation of every Principle in the surrounding world.
When he cultivated to the eleventh level, he was able to resonate more deeply with the Northern Darkness Ancestral Vein. With a thought, he could draw upon the power of the earth veins thousands of miles away.
The moment he reached the twelfth level of cultivation, the entire cave abode suddenly burst forth with a dazzling Golden Light.
A Qingwei and mysterious aura emanated from Li Yunjing's body, instantly spreading throughout the entire Azure Jiao Marsh.
In the sky, auspicious clouds gathered, and celestial music played.
Countless golden lotuses drifted down from the sky, scattering across every inch of the Luozhen Sect's land.
"The Taiyi Qingwei, the Root of All Laws!"
Li Yunjing suddenly opened his eyes and let out a long howl.
His eyes seemed to contain the entire starry sky, with countless Principle runes flowing within them.
The Supreme Unity Pure Subtlety Scripture has finally been mastered!
The mastery of the Supreme Unity Pure Subtlety Scripture not only made his spiritual power more refined and profound, but also allowed him to reach a completely new level of understanding of the Principle of heaven and earth.
He could clearly see that every line of Principle in the universe was operating according to specific rules.
More importantly, he finally had the opportunity to break through to the Dao Integration Realm.
The Dao Integration Realm, as the name suggests, is the state of merging one's own Dao with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.
Once successful, one can borrow the power of the universe and the great Dao, possessing earth-shattering power in every gesture.
Li Yunjing took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement.
He adjusted his state of mind and focused all his attention on the Primordial Spirit within his body.
His Primordial Spirit had long since become incredibly solid, exactly like his own body. At this moment, his Primordial Spirit sat cross-legged in his Dantian, surrounded by golden spiritual power and black earth vein power.
"Dao Union, begin!"
Li Yunjing shouted in his heart, guiding his Primordial Spirit to begin breaking through the barrier of the Dao Integration Realm.
This was an incredibly difficult process.
The barrier of the Dao Integration Realm is like an insurmountable chasm, blocking the footsteps of countless cultivators.
Throughout history, countless exceptionally talented cultivators at the peak of the Spirit Transformation Perfection have spent their entire lives unable to cross this threshold.
But Li Yunjing was different.
He has the Supreme Unity Pure Subtlety Scripture as his foundation, the full support of the Northern Darkness Ancestral Vein, and a solid foundation built by tens of thousands of Earth Vein Essence.
Boom!
A deafening roar erupted from Li Yunjing's body.
The Northern Dark True Spirit also provided full assistance, drawing upon the power of the entire Northern Darkness Ancestral Vein, transforming it into a massive pillar of light that flowed into Li Yunjing's body.
Nine beams of light of different colors lit up again in nine directions from the Tianyuan Continent.
The nine Ancestral Vein True Spirit sensed Li Yunjing's breakthrough and each drew upon their own Ancestral Vein power to bless him.
Ten veins shining brightly together!
The sky over the entire Tianyuan Continent was illuminated by ten different colored lights, and countless cultivators looked up at the sky, their eyes filled with shock and awe.
"This is... someone breaking through?!"
"What a terrifying phenomenon! Who is breaking through?"
"..."
With the combined blessing of the ten Ancestral Vein, Li Yunjing finally saw hope of entering the Dao Integration Realm.
"Now!"
A glint of light flashed in Li Yunjing's eyes as he poured all the spiritual power in his body into his Primordial Spirit.
His Primordial Spirit instantly transformed into a Golden Light and burst forth.
Click!
A crisp cracking sound rang out.
The barrier to entering the Dao Integration Realm has been completely shattered!
