Chapter 663: Chapter 339: Breakthrough After Breakthrough!

“Huh, my cultivation speed has accelerated!”

Entering a state of cultivation, Luo Cheng began refining the Martial Soul Essence within him and immediately discovered with delight that the speed of refining the Martial Soul Essence had markedly increased, at least by sixty to seventy percent faster than before!

That meant the Martial Soul Essence, which previously took ten days to refine, now only required three to four days, saving more than half the effort!

“Could it be due to the intense consumption of Soul Power?”

He had taken the Little Mixed Profound Pill before, but it never had such effects.

After mulling it over, Luo Cheng could only attribute it to the consumption of Soul Power.

Martial Soul Essence contained the essence of a person’s energy and spirit, naturally capable of replenishing Soul Power!

“Great! This means I can hit the Ninth Layer of the Awakening Vein Realm Late Stage even faster!”

Luo Cheng had initially planned to retreat for closed-door cultivation to refine the Martial Soul Essence and break through to the Ninth Layer of the Awakening Vein Realm Late Stage after leaving the Black Cloud Mountain Range!

However, Yin Li disrupted the plan.

Now it seemed this was a blessing in disguise.

It made him realize that by depleting Soul Power, he could accelerate the refining of Martial Soul Essence, enabling a quicker advancement!

Excited, Luo Cheng immediately calmed himself and began to cultivate with all his might.

On the following morning, Luo Cheng stood up, with Essence Energy surging and Qi rolling like tides.

“Back to peak condition! It seems my aura has strengthened a bit as well…”

Yin Li was slightly taken aback.

The replenishment of Soul Power was unlike Essence Energy; unless there were corresponding Spirit Medicine and Spirit Pills, recovery was very slow.

Although Luo Cheng had been painstakingly cultivating, in just one night, not only did his spirit return to peak condition, but it felt like his cultivation realm had even improved!

This was quite astonishing…

“What kind of Spirit Pill did you use yesterday?” Yin Li couldn’t help but ask.

Luo Cheng replied directly, “Awakening God Pill and Little Mixed Profound Pill.”

“Hmm, Awakening God Pill can restore the spirit. Little Mixed Profound Pill is a defective version refined from the Ksitigarbha Mixed Yuan Pill. Although it can’t help Awakening Vein Realm experts break into the Four Extremes Secret Realm like the Ksitigarbha Mixed Yuan Pill, it does speed up cultivation, and the effect is above the Meridian Opening Pill.” Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by Novᴇl_Fire(.)net

Yin Li, worthy of being the top of the Luoxia Sect’s Ten Great True Inheritance, possessed extraordinary knowledge and was well-versed in all kinds of pills.

After a brief pause, Yin Li continued, “However, a defective product is still defective. The Little Mixed Profound Pill, while effective, has very mixed medicinal properties. It’s best not to take it continuously. Otherwise, it might cause a flotation of Essence Energy and adversely affect cultivation.”

“Thank you for your guidance, Sister Yin Li.”

Luo Cheng nodded, but he didn’t worry about it in his heart.

He possessed the Nine-colored Scale, which could refine any Spirit Medicine and Spirit Pill, extracting the essence and discarding the dregs.

The impurities in these Little Mixed Profound Pills had long been refined by him, leaving only the purest medicinal power, which wouldn’t affect him at all!

“Let’s go!”

The two set off again towards the southwest.

Thus, in the vast and shadowy Black Cloud Mountain Range, they traveled during the day searching for Blood Nether Sect strongholds and rested at night.

Unknowingly, two days passed.

In those two days, they hadn’t encountered a single disciple of the Blood Nether Sect, let alone their stronghold.

However, for Luo Cheng, it wasn’t without gain.

With their continued advance, more and more Demon Beasts became active in the forest, ranging from Four-star Demon Beasts to even Five-star Demon Beasts!

All these beasts were slain by Yin Li, and Luo Cheng acquired over two hundred Four-star Soul Crystals and three Five-star Soul Crystals!

Besides the Soul Crystals, every night Luo Cheng consumed Little Mixed Profound Pills, diligently refining the Martial Soul Essence within his body.

With the rapid consumption of Martial Soul Essence, he felt he had reached a bottleneck period, and just needed an opportunity to break through to the Ninth Layer of the Awakening Vein Realm Late Stage!

Moreover, when inspired, Yin Li would occasionally give Luo Cheng pointers on cultivation.

As a top Heavenly-level Great Power, Yin Li’s insight into cultivation was so profound that every word she said gave Luo Cheng a sudden realization!

On the third night.

They stopped to rest on a giant tree.

Luo Cheng sat cross-legged, took the Little Mixed Profound Pill, and began his daily hard cultivation.

As the night grew deeper.

Huh?

Resting with eyes closed, Yin Li suddenly opened them, looking towards Luo Cheng.

The next moment.

Buzz!

A strange wave emanated from Luo Cheng, forming a spiraling pillar of Heaven and Earth Essence Energy, expanding rapidly before contracting fiercely into Luo Cheng’s body.

The air trembled like water, causing the entire forest to rustle.

“Ninth Layer of the Awakening Vein Realm Late Stage!”

Yin Li’s eyebrows lightly twitched.

She distinctly remembered that only three days ago, Luo Cheng had just broken through to the Ninth Layer of the Awakening Vein Realm Middle Stage, yet in such a short time, he had broken through again!

During these three days, she had been observing Luo Cheng closely, and aside from taking Little Mixed Profound Pills during each cultivation session, there was nothing special.

Even with Yin Li’s wide knowledge, she couldn’t comprehend why Luo Cheng had broken through so quickly.

“Even faster than imagined!”

Luo Cheng was immersed in the joy of his breakthrough.

At an ordinary speed, refining Martial Soul Essence and attempting to break through to the Ninth Layer of the Awakening Vein Realm Late Stage would take at least ten days to half a month!

Yet within merely three days, he had broken through!

“Congratulations! Breaking through two realms in just a few days, you’ve truly made me sit up and take notice,” Yin Li’s voice rang out.

Luo Cheng, having already prepared an excuse, smiled and said, “I didn’t expect to break through this quickly either. Perhaps it’s because after the recent great battle, experiencing several life-and-death situations tempered me with the terror of mortality, triggering my potential and skyrocketing my cultivation speed.”

He directly echoed Supreme Elder Yun Lan’s words.

After all, the activation of potential was something ethereal that couldn’t be proven by anyone.

Yin Li, however, contemplated seriously, “Indeed, the tempering under life and death pressure can transform one’s mindset and unleash unprecedented potential…”

This wasn’t uncommon; great pressure often lead to faster progress!

This was also why some geniuses at bottlenecks chose to venture out, seeking opportunities for a breakthrough under the stresses of danger and death!

Only, Luo Cheng’s improvement was a bit too significant!

Breaking through two realms in just three days was so unbelievable it would be hard to believe it if told to others.

Yin Li still wanted to inquire further.

Suddenly.

Roar!

A gust of foul wind swept through the forest.

Sensing it, Luo Cheng’s figure turned into a blur, vanishing from where he stood.

Boom!

A blood shadow flashed by, the fierce wind raging, shredding the giant tree into splinters like ice shards, leaving several deep claw marks over dozens of meters on the ground.

Luo Cheng’s figure hovered mid-air, looking down to see a Demon Wolf with blood-red fur and wings on its back!

The Demon Wolf was four to five rods in length, its body burning with flame-like blood-colored Demon Qi, with two sharp fangs protruding deeply, like spears, glinting coldly in the night.

“Four-star Demon Beast Eagle Wing Blood Wolf! It must have been attracted by your breakthrough commotion. These beasts tend to appear in packs…”

Yin Li recognized the Demon Wolf but only half-finished her explanation, for there was no need to continue.

In the dim forest, clusters of blood light suddenly lit up, pairs of blood-red eyes, emotionlessly watching the pair, glowing fiercely in the darkness!
