Chapter 799 - 240: Ascending to the Stage at the Third Realm
"Then...who are you?"
"I..." The old voice suddenly stalled, as if trying hard to ponder.
But Chen Yan quickly said, "The artifact spirit talking to me earlier wasn’t you, so...how many artifact spirits are there?"
This time, the old voice began to answer.
"Let me see... Hmm, there are two blobs, seems like they’re lacking energy and are still asleep. If you could input some more Primordial Qi, these two fellows should wake up soon.
Chen Yan blinked—not because he was surprised by the words, but because he was trying to regain control over his body: "So...how did you wake up?"
"The power you sent in was quite delicious, I feel terribly full—it’s been a very, very long time since I’ve been replenished." The old voice sighed, but suddenly revealed a hint of weariness: "Hmm... too weak for too long, couldn’t eat anything, now I’m too full, just so sleepy..."
Chen Yan rolled his eyes: "Don’t sleep yet! No! What’s going on with you all? Those two are hungry and can’t eat enough and want to sleep, and you’re too full, too stuffed and also want to sleep!"
The old voice already had a hint of drowsiness: "No, no, can’t hold on, mm..."
Suddenly, it seemed to muster a struggle again, as if forcing a bit of clarity, trying hard to tell Chen Yan: "Though I don’t know what’s going on, I’d suggest this to you... the aura here is very bad for you, this Dao Rhyme makes me uncomfortable just smelling it—you must never comprehend this kind of precious thing, it’ll lead you into a pit."
"A pit? What kind of pit exactly?" Chen Yan tried his best to glean more information.
"...Don’t know, just something very bad." The old voice weakened again: "Shanxiang’s Dao Rhyme seems to take the path of neutrality and fusion, but in fact, it’s a cowardly method of cultivation!"
Cowardly?
Chen Yan was taken aback.
"Isn’t it cowardly?" The old voice became more and more muddled: "Heavenly Principle and Heart Demon, pursuing balance, fusion, seems like the right path... but in reality, it’s unable to be severed or broken...
In the end, taking this path out of necessity is actually... seeking compromise with the Heavenly Dao, becoming a slave to it, talking about fusion, about balance, is just to cater to the Heavenly Dao...
Unable to break free, so they submit and comply...
Ridiculous, ridiculous...
We cultivators inherently go against the heavens, Primordial Qi of heaven and earth doesn’t belong to cultivators, yet we transport and seize it.
Human lifespan has a natural end, but cultivators defy heaven and change fate, using unconventional methods to improve their bodies and extend their lifespans.
Isn’t this rebellion?
The path of cultivation is a road to rebellion.
Rebel against this heaven and earth! Rebel against this Heavenly Dao!
Young one... do not comprehend the Dao Rhyme here.
Once comprehended, you’ll be contaminated by that weak groove scent, following this path, even if you cultivate to a Saint, you’re just a minion of the Heavenly Dao...
You must not cultivate it, you must not..."
With the final "you must not" three words, this old voice grew ever weaker, and eventually fell silent, as if it had gone into a deep sleep...
Chen Yan lay in bed for a long time before he finally struggled to sit up.
He gasped for air, the expanding feeling in his Sea of Consciousness finally disappeared, but the pure Origin Power was still continuously transforming and nourishing his Sea of Consciousness.
Suppressing the shock in his heart, Chen Yan tried to perform an internal observation, trying to look at his Primordial Spirit within his Sea of Consciousness...
This glance was not the least bit reassuring, immediately leaving Chen Yan dumbfounded!!!
In his Sea of Consciousness, pure spiritual power swirled, and his Primordial Spirit, which had previously been distinct, had expanded more than threefold!
If one were to use a metaphor, Chen Yan’s earlier spiritual power was like an embroidery needle, though hard, it was fine.
At this moment, his spiritual power spread widely...
He tried to circulate the flow of Primordial Qi in his body.
The next second, Chen Yan suddenly let out an exclamation!
"Whoa! Realm Breakthrough!"
After half a year of hesitation in cultivation, Chen Yan at this moment finally crossed the Second Realm Guiyuan Realm, where he had been stuck for so long!
And took a step into Ascension!
Third Realm Cultivation!
·
Ascending to the Stage!
In the cultivation realm, it signifies finally stepping onto the Immortal Platform!
As the realm before the Celestial Human Realm, Ascending to the Stage also has another meaning, standing in this position, one can already clearly see the path above Celestial Being!
In the Ascension Realm, a cultivator should have prepared complete reserves in both Primordial Qi Cultivation and Primordial Spirit cultivation.
Balancing both in preparation for the future, to face that first dangerous threshold of life and death in the Celestial Human’s Broken Mirror cultivation—Celestial Tribulation!!
In the Third Realm Ascension, Chen Yan felt the flow efficiency of Primordial Qi throughout his body increase more than threefold!
This not only increased the speed of cultivating by transporting Primordial Qi, it also improved the speed and efficiency of Primordial Qi circulating throughout his body!
Imagine if in battle, it meant that [regeneration] would be much faster than the previous realm.
The cooldown time for techniques, reduced!
Suddenly breaking through to the Third Realm, even Chen Yan himself was shockingly surprised!
He had predicted that the three fruit seeds given by the Flower Demon would certainly have extraordinary effects, enhancing his cultivation and Dao practice.
But, isn’t this effect a bit too good!
He hadn’t even devoured them in big bites yet!
Just shaved off a fingernail-sized piece of the fruit flesh...
His Sea of Consciousness expanded, Primordial Spirit consciousness enlarged.
Even the Primordial Qi cultivation, directly advanced to the Third Realm!
Stepping up a realm, such enhancement was all-encompassing, and a sheer cliff-like leap!
Thud!
At this moment, suddenly there was a sound from the courtyard outside the house, as if something heavy had fallen to the ground!
