Cultivation Begins with Skill Points-Chapter 235: Return to Luoxing Islands

The greatest benefit of breaking through to the Spirit Sea Realm is not the expansion of the Dantian, but the leap in life, as it is the first realm of the Transcendent Realm.

The so-called transcendent, is to be extraordinary.

The fiery red Spiritual Origin in the Dantian flows like a flame. With a slight operation, Zhong Lin immediately feels a surge in physical strength, waves of qi bursting from his pores, creating sonic booms everywhere.

His body moved slightly in the secret room, creating illusions everywhere. The whole person was like a flying sword, cutting through waves of qi with unimaginable speed.

This is entirely the power of the flesh.

The breakthrough to the Spirit Sea is not just about the surge of Spiritual Origin within but the ability to merge with the flesh, achieving a unity of spirit and flesh. Even a Spirit Sea Realm Martial Artist who hasn’t trained in any flesh-based martial arts can instantly strengthen their body.

This is also why Martial Artists in the Spirit Sea Realm have a lifespan of 800 years.

Transcendent Realm, the first leap in life, lives 800 years.

Slowly opening his eyes, feeling the boiling vitality within his body, Zhong Lin’s face broke into a smile.

"Transcendent, truly worthy of being transcendent."

Without mentioning anything else, just the increase in lifespan by 800 years is enough to make all Martial Artists fearless, and no wonder Xu Youde spent his entire fortune, almost selling his bottom, to collect spiritual medicine to refine the Sea Expansion Pill.

The lifespan of the Spirit Sea Realm has nearly doubled from before, equivalent to living another lifetime; how could this not drive people mad?

With a thought, the Spirit Stones around his body instantly collapsed, and a rich primordial qi surged into Zhong Lin’s body. The Red Flame Technique operated, and in no time, a drop of Spiritual Origin dripped into the Dantian.

Zhong Lin’s face turned black, almost cursing out loud.

Just now, it was a full ten Spirit Stones! Yet it only transformed into a single drop of Spiritual Origin. Although this drop of Spiritual Origin is purer and contains more energy than before, the consumption is enormous.

"The Spirit Sea Realm is divided into Early Stage, Middle Stage, and Late Stage, but with such consumption, who knows when I will reach the next stage, no wonder the Purple Cloud Sect, which rules the entire Eighty-One Island, has only the Sect Master as a Spirit Embryo Realm; it’s simply absurd."

Zhong Lin was too lazy to continue cultivating, got up, and pushed the door open.

A number of people had already gathered outside, led by Sect Master Yu Jinglei, all waiting quietly.

Seeing Zhong Lin come out, they all gathered around.

Zhong Lin smiled and said, "A minor breakthrough, I’m sorry to have disturbed you elders."

Yu Jinglei also knew there were many things that couldn’t be disclosed to others, waved his hand, and dismissed all the elders, leaving only a few core people.

"Zhong Lin, just now, a pressure enveloped the entire Sword Cauldron Sect, even with my First Grade cultivation, I felt a sky-turning sensation," Yin Daoyan said in shock.

Just now, while cultivating, he almost went into Qi deviation, only feeling a terrifying power suppressing him, as if a great mountain was pressing on his heart, and the True Qi in his Dantian shrank back, unable to circulate.

Before Zhong Lin could answer, Shi Yunyi stared at him with burning eyes: "Senior Brother, did you break through to the Transcendent Realm?"

As soon as Shi Yunyi’s voice fell, the entire hall fell silent, everyone looked at Zhong Lin excitedly, waiting for his answer.

Zhong Lin glanced at everyone and nodded with a smile.

"Hiss!"

The onlookers all gasped, their hearts full of shock.

Zhong Lin had previously described the Transcendent Realm to them, highlighting the characteristics of each realm, which aroused their pursuit of higher realms.

"Transcendent Realm, life leap, 800 years of life, this..."

Yin Daoyan, filled with excitement, was flushed, and his hands trembled uncontrollably.

What does 800 years mean?

The entire Sword Cauldron Sect has only existed for a thousand years. Watching flowers bloom and fall, observing clouds rolling and unrolling, what difference is there from being an Immortal?

Yu Jinglei also had fiery eyes. Having broken through the Innate Realm a hundred years ago, he thought the road ahead was cut off, never to break through in his life, but now a new opportunity presented itself. If he could break through the Transcendent Realm, he could live for another hundred years. Who would want to die if they could stay alive?

Shi Yunyi took a deep breath and turned to leave.

"Where are you going?"

"To cultivate."

Still spinning in the Innate Realm, while his Senior Brother has already broken through the Transcendent Realm, how could the proud Shi Yunyi accept this? Even if he couldn’t compare to his Senior Brother, he didn’t want to fall too far behind, only to eat dust.

After sending everyone away, Zhong Lin returned to the secret room to enter a cultivation state. He needed to stabilize the realm and adapt to the powerful strength of the Spirit Sea Realm.

...

Time passed slowly, and three months flew by.

On this day.

Zhong Lin, Yu Jinglei, Yin Daoyan, and Shi Yunyi disappeared into the Hengduan Mountains.

Gu Chen wasn’t brought along, at least not now.

Gu Chen had just condensed his qi-blood, still in the Postnatal Realm, and didn’t have much demand for Heaven and Earth Essence Qi. It was better to let him continue cultivating on Xuan Gui Continent until he broke through to the Innate Realm before bringing him back to Luoxing Islands. With this gap in time for cultivation, even if Gu Chen was truly the child of destiny, Zhong Lin was confident in handling various sudden problems.

The four traveled swiftly, avoiding encounters with others. Zhong Lin used the Mirage Pearl to conceal their appearances. A few days later, they finally reached the mountain outside where the hidden cave was located.

Yu Jinglei glanced around and sighed, "This place is rarely visited, even birds find it difficult to pass. Even Innate Martial Artists would have difficulty finding their way if they couldn’t find an exit. No wonder it was never discovered."

"Let’s go, I’ll take you inside."

Zhong Lin enveloped the three in Spiritual Origin, lifted off the ground, and flew toward the valley.

Having broken through to the Spirit Sea Realm, he no longer needed to use the Red Flames Wings to fly, though the flying speed couldn’t compare, it was enough for traveling without the ostentatious show of the Red Flames Wings.

Moments later, the four arrived in the cave where the Transmission Array was located, where dozens of towering stone tablets stood unchanged through the ages.

"So this is the Transmission Array?"

Yin Daoyan stepped forward and gently touched the towering stone tablet, his eyes full of reverie.

Yu Jinglei and Shi Yunyi had similar expressions. An obstacle that blocked the Xuan Gui Continent’s Martial Artists for countless years was solved by these few stone tablets, filling their hearts with emotion.

Under Zhong Lin’s direction, everyone stood in the center of the Transmission Array, placing Spirit Stones prepared earlier into the grooves.

As the energy flowed, the runes on the stone tablets emanated a faint glow. With a wave of spatial fluctuations, everyone in the stone tablets vanished instantly.

Like a roller coaster, everyone felt a skyward upheaval, vaguely seeing the surrounding void. However, this feeling lasted only a moment. When their vision restored, they were already in another stone tablet array, only the surrounding cave was different.
