第五卷 天云十二州 第一千一百二十六章 进阶元婴后期(上)

Moonlight continued, recounting the events in a detailed manner:

Lin Xiaoyuan remained unconscious for three days. Moonlight was somewhat worried but relieved that his face appeared calm. The sitting meditation had indeed lasted longer than usual, and Lin Xiaoyuan's mana had fully recovered; his body also showed no significant issues.

However, he found something peculiar within himself. After replenishing his mana, his realm mysteriously increased by a level, with signs of imminent breakthrough. How could this be?

Lin Xiaoyuan was momentarily stunned before feeling both anxious and excited. The path to immortality was difficult; who wouldn't be delighted at the prospect of becoming a powerful cultivator? Although he had gathered materials for refining the Transcendence Pill, he still needed to address the隐患of the demon embryo.

If he were to advance now,

Lin Xiaoyuan felt uneasy but realized that his mana fluctuations had reached their peak. If he suppressed it, he would miss the opportunity to enter the late-stage realm.

Knowing this was a rare chance, Lin Xiaoyuan hesitated for a moment before making a decision: he would attempt to breakthrough!

Although the demon embryo隐患remained, he had already mastered the Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens Technique at its second-layer perfection and successfully condensed a妖丹.

While weaker than a twin embryo, this妖丹 could still help balance yin and yang mana. Based on Lin Xiaoyuan's estimation, even if he entered the late-stage realm, his mana balance should remain stable for several months.

Of course, this was just speculation, but Lin Xiaoyuan wouldn't let such an opportunity pass.

Otherwise, following a routine path would mean waiting until who knew when to refine the Transcendence Pill and eliminate the demon embryo隐患before attempting another breakthrough.

Breaking through required many precious elixirs, which alone would keep him busy. Additionally, he needed to return to Xuan Yuan City in three months for Moonlight's condensation, where Venerable Huì Tong was likely still present, though not necessarily seeking him out.

Ordinary late-stage cultivators couldn't match up against old monsters of the Separation Realm, but with his mana and abilities, it would be different.

Lin Xiaoyuan didn't have much confidence in defeating Venerable Huì Tong, but if he succeeded, escaping from him should still be possible.

In conclusion, weighing the pros and cons, Lin Xiaoyuan decided to take a chance. Even if his estimation was wrong and mana balance could become disrupted, the risk was worth taking.

They say that those who survive great calamities are destined for good fortune. Although he didn't know what had happened during his unconsciousness, this opportunity must be seized.

Thus, Lin Xiaoyuan attempted to breakthrough into the late-stage realm, also known as a Great Cultivator. This title reflected his new status but was still inferior to old monsters of the Separation Realm.

However, in the world, there were only a few Separation Realm cultivators, especially among humans and demons. In Yunzhou, where cultivation was considered sacred, it was even more rare.

In other places like Seven-star Island's Cloud Sea, which covered vast areas, Separation Realm cultivators were mere legends.

For millions of years, perhaps even longer in the ancient era, old monsters of the Separation Realm rarely involved themselves in secular matters, focusing solely on cultivation.

Ascension was their only temptation. If they could reach the Spirit Realm and achieve immortality, it might no longer be a dream...

Venerable Huì Tong's intervention seemed coincidental. He had lost his Vairocana Dharmakaya to Lin Xiaoyuan, who was highly regarded by Huì Tong as one of his prized disciples.

As an old monster of the Separation Realm, he wouldn't seek revenge but would not let this opportunity pass either. Moreover, at the auction, Lin Xiaoyuan had stolen a valuable item from him, causing significant embarrassment.

This was intolerable, and Venerable Huì Tong wanted to capture Lin Xiaoyuan. Unfortunately, this young man proved far more cunning than he anticipated, leading to unforeseen developments that left Huì Tong unprepared.

Regardless of these special circumstances, late-stage realm cultivators in the mortal world were already at the top tier. They could walk with ease and authority.

However, even in Yunzhou, late-stage realm cultivators were rare.

Those who successfully condensed an元婴were already envied; those with exceptional talent often remained stuck in the early stages, while only a small fraction advanced to mid-stage. Late-stage realm cultivators among old monsters of the Separation Realm were virtually nonexistent—each was a prominent figure.

The difficulty was obvious: even with excellent talent, one still needed elixirs for support. Some major sects would exhaust their accumulated resources in an attempt to cultivate a late-stage realm cultivator. Success was far from guaranteed.

Originally, Lin Xiaoyuan planned to eliminate the demon embryo隐患and then focus on breaking through to the late stage. However, he had prepared some breakthrough pills and intended to purify the Azure Star Sea completely into upper-grade elixirs.

With these elixirs, he could have broken through the bottleneck. But now, due to this unexpected opportunity, he didn't even possess a single pill for breaking through to the late stage.

Lin Xiaoyuan was about to enter the late-stage realm and needed support from precious elixirs.
