Cao Youqian: Then I'll Break Through to the Nirvana Realm Right Here!

"Ancestor, with your vast knowledge and experience, do you recognize the grade of this spiritual vein before us?"

Deep underground within the Heavenly Corpse Sect.

Looking at the spiritual vein emanating a chilling aura before him Cao Youqian subconsciously asked a question.

"This is a sacred-grade, icy spiritual vein. No wonder the Heavenly Corpse Sect can cultivate sacred corpses and Great Sage corpses; this spiritual vein is definitely responsible for 70% of that."

The Great Sage Blazing Sun spoke in a very calm tone. Within the Holy Institute, Saint-grade spiritual veins were not considered anything rare.

However, in a power like the Heavenly Corpse Sect, which only has one Saint, it is still quite a rare find.

Cao Youqian quickly made a decision. "If we bring this spiritual vein back to the Miscellaneous Dao Institute, then our Miscellaneous Dao Institute will have its own Saint Rank spiritual vein."

"Second Senior Brother, what a great idea! I'm sure Master will be very happy to see this gift."

Han Ping said with a smile.

"But here's the problem: how do we move this spiritual vein?"

Fang Mu said weakly.

Cao Youqian forced a fawning smile and said to Great Sage Blazing Sun, "Ancestor, could you..."

"Cannot."

The Great Sage Blazing Sun said rather irritably, "I am your protector, not your subordinate. However, it's not that you have no way to move this spiritual vein. Once you break through to the Nirvana Realm, you can move it by simply using the True Essence of the Great Dao and your Divine Physique."

Upon hearing this, Cao Youqian's expression gradually hardened.

With a resolute expression, he said, "Fellow disciples, I thank you for protecting me. Today, I will Body Tempering here and break through to the Nirvana Realm."

Upon hearing this, a hint of excitement flashed in the eyes of everyone present.

But Song Zhaoyi quickly noticed the key point. "Husband, do you mean you want to use that Great Sage's Corpse Pill to Body Tempering and break through?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze towards Cao Youqian instantly changed. Using the Great Sage Sage's Corpse Pill to Body Tempering and break through to a higher realm—the risk was simply too great.

Only the Great Sage Blazing Sun, watching from afar, had a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth, revealing a look of anticipation.

Her previous refusal of Cao Youqian was precisely because she wanted the young man to break through in this auspicious place.

After all, the Cao Clan's prodigy is no weaker than anyone else. Xiao Chen has already reached the Nirvana Realm, so Qian'er should catch up with him.

Cao Youqian said with a smile, "Xiao Yi, you understand me best. There's no need to say more. You should have seen me Body Tempering before; this is nothing to Great Wind."

Hearing this, Song Zhaoyi still had some worries, but she knew that no one here could change her husband's decision, so she could only nod and purse her lips.

Cao Youqian turned his gaze to Lin Mo in the crowd. "Xiao Mo, today I will give you your first lesson in cultivation. Our Miaomiao Mountain's body-refining method is called the Chaos Body Refining Art. It emphasizes using Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, and all things to Body Tempering."

Whether it's the Extreme Yin energy or the corpse energy within the corpse core, both are excellent for Body Tempering. Remember, when Body Tempering, you must abandon all fear in your heart, stabilize your mind, and absolutely not be swayed by inner demons."

Lin Mo nodded quickly upon hearing this. "This disciple has learned a great deal."

If Chu Feng and Xiao Chen were here at this moment and saw this scene, they would definitely say something.

Daqian, you weren't like this when you first started cultivating.

After Cao Youqian finished speaking, he took out a Corpse Pill from his storage ring and swallowed it in front of everyone. Then he walked towards the Saint-grade Yin Cold Vein.

Everyone present was stunned into silence upon witnessing this scene.

"My second senior brother is too harsh on himself."

Fang Mu couldn't help but mutter a sentence.

Han Ping said, "Perhaps, this is why Second Senior Brother transformed from a spoiled brat into Holy Son of Dao Seeking. He's ruthless enough to himself and has an unwavering Dao heart."

Upon hearing this, everyone instantly felt a deep respect for Cao Youqian.

As soon as Cao Youqian sat down, a thick layer of cold, yin energy enveloped him.

His expression gradually became distorted, and black blood overflowed from his seven orifices, making him look like a demon crawling out of the Nine Netherworlds Hell.

Everyone present watched the scene unfold without saying a word, their hearts filled with worry for Cao Youqian.

At the foot of Zhongbei Mountain, cultivators from all walks of life gathered, completely surrounding the entire Zhongbei Mountain.

Chu Feng and his group randomly chose a place to set up camp.

Liang Yi sent his fellow disciples to join the sect's disciples, while he stayed behind to accompany the two seniors.

Seeing that the young man still had no intention of leaving, Shi Xuan chuckled and teased, "Fellow Daoist Liang, you've already arrived at Zhongbei Mountain, why aren't you joining your fellow disciples? Aren't you afraid the sect will blame you?"

Liang Yi smiled and said, "It's alright. My Liang Lineage still has some influence within the Complete Perfection Sword Sect. My grandfather was the vice sect leader."

"That's excellent."

Shi Xuan didn't say anything more.

Liang Yi immediately said, "Senior, I'll go and gather information for you right away."

Shi Xuan said unhurriedly, "No need for trouble. We'll know everything when we go up the mountain tomorrow."

"Shall we set off again after noon tomorrow?"

Over the past few days, Liang Yi has figured out that Senior Qian's routine for going out; he only leaves after noon every day.

He asked out of curiosity, and the person replied, "Something will happen sooner or later; things will go more smoothly if you go out at noon."

"Of course, get some rest tonight."

After finishing his sentence, Shi Xuan turned and walked towards Chu Feng's tent.

"Promise."

Liang Yi watched Shi Xuan's figure disappear before returning to his own tent.

"Master, what should we do with that brat Liang Yi?"

After pouring Chu Feng a cup of tea, Shi Xuan asked respectfully.

Chu Feng smiled and said, "Let's see what he can get from the Spirit Tomb Sect. After all, we have a connection with him."

"Master is right. I just don't know what that old ghost put in the Spirit Tomb Sect that could cause such a huge upheaval."

As Shi Xuan spoke, an expectant look appeared on his face.

Nothing happened that night.

The following day at noon.

Chu Feng and his two companions slowly made their way up the mountain.

Liang Yi deliberately observed the two seniors in front of him and their routes. Although they were clearly moving through the crowd, no one noticed them, and he himself was also ignored by the cultivators.

They weren't moving very fast, yet they surpassed wave after wave of cultivators.

Now, he was increasingly curious about just who these two seniors were.

As evening approached, Liang Yi had just finished setting up the tents for the two seniors and was preparing to start a fire to brew tea for them.

A voice tinged with disdain suddenly came from not far away.

"Hey, isn't this Third Young Master Liang? What are you doing doing such lowly work?"

Chu Feng and Shi Xuan, who were originally heading back to their tent, instinctively took out spirit melons from their storage rings and looked in the direction from which the sound came...
