At the rear cliff of Qingyun Dao Sect.
Ye Ping sat cross-legged there.
He did not gain anything from the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet this time, but he did gain a lot of merit. He had yet to comprehend the sword intent.
However, all in all, he had gained a lot.
For example, this ancient emerald gourd.
There were five grades of Dharmic artifacts in the world of immortal cultivation, namely, Dharmic artifacts, spirit artifacts, ancient artifacts, Dao artifacts, and immortal artifacts.
Ancient artifacts could also be called ancient treasures or treasures, which roughly meant that they were the treasures of Dharmic artifacts.
The ancient emerald gourd was actually a supreme-grade treasure that could absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and condense it into innate spiritual energy to help people cultivate quickly.
However, after it was obtained by the Fiendcelestial Cult, it was refined into an evil artifact that contained resentful spirits and produced the Five-Grudge Ancient Poison. Now that it was in Ye Ping's hands, it could play its real role. Besides, it was also a storage treasure.
Coincidentally, Ye Ping did not have any storage treasures and the gourd was just right.
Ye Ping did not study the matter of the emerald gourd for the time being and simply put it aside to let it absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth automatically. When it was almost done, he would refine the innate spiritual energy in it.
What he had to do now was to break through the realm.
Yes, it was to break through the realm.
The trip to Qingzhou this time made Ye Ping realize his shortcomings in three areas.
Firstly, he lacked knowledge!
If he didn't know anything and didn't understand any problems that he encountered, it would definitely be harmful to him.
However, there were no books in the Qingyun Dao Sect and there was at most a record of Qingzhou. Hence, if he had a chance in the future, he would have to read more books and understand everything. Even if he didn't understand it well, he would at least understand something.
Secondly, his realm was insufficient!
For example, when he returned to Qingzhou, he would basically lose all his Dharmic powers after waving his sword casually. Fortunately, there were not many Fiendcelestial Cult disciples in Qingzhou. If he encountered a true powerhouse or a larger number of them, he would be in trouble.
Thirdly, his Dao Heart was insufficient!
When encountering problems, he would not have any opinions of his own and he would not be able to hear Su Changyu's advice. Hence, he got busy and wasted a lot of time.
Hence, before he went down the mountain the next time, he had to confirm his Dao Heart, lest he would always be hesitant when encountering things in the future. He had to confirm his Dao Heart as soon as possible.
The above three points were Ye Ping's reflections on his trip to Qingzhou.
The first and third points could be done slowly. After all, he had returned to the sect and wouldn't be going down the mountain for a while, so he had plenty of time.
The second point was also what Ye Ping had to do now.
After purifying the millions of vengeful spirits in the Ancient Emerald Gourd, there was an endless amount of virtuous energy in his body. It even turned into a Virtuous Golden Lotus, representing the supreme virtuous intent.
With so much merit, Ye Ping planned to break through to the Foundation Establishment realm in one go.
Yes, Ye Ping wanted to enter the Foundation Establishment realm as soon as possible.
In this way, the next time he went down the mountain, he would have the ability to protect himself.
Thinking of this …
Ye Ping began cultivating.
In an instant, the merit turned into a steady stream of spiritual energy, and under Ye Ping's will, the merit in his body turned into a river that surged towards the spirit meridians.
With such a huge amount of merit, Ye Ping's realm was also breaking through frantically.
The eleventh time.
It was the twelfth time.
The thirteenth time …
At the same time, time passed bit by bit.
Two hours.
Six hours.
Twelve hours.
Twenty-four hours.
Two days.
Three days.
Five days.
Seven days.
In the rear cliff of Qingyun Dao Sect.
Ye Ping meditated for seven days, and some people from the Dao Sect also came over to take a look, but when they discovered that Ye Ping was cultivating, they did not disturb him.
After all, it was normal for cultivators to meditate for three to five days, and sometimes, they would meditate for several months or even several years.
In seven days, Ye Ping completed it for the 35th time.
However, the further he went, the more exaggerated the amount of spiritual energy he needed.
In the past, he could break through with hundreds of merit, but now, he couldn't break through a realm even with thousands or even tens of thousands of power of merit.
If he hadn't expiated millions of vengeful spirits, Ye Ping wouldn't have broken through.
Finally, on the tenth day.
When the sun rose, Ye Ping officially stepped into the 36th time of re-cultivation.
A full one-third of the power of merit in his body had been consumed.
However, there was still one last time.
Ye Ping did not rest and instead continued to cultivate.
He wanted to break through to the Foundation Establishment realm.
No matter what, he had to break through to the Foundation Establishment realm.
At this moment …
In a majestic palace in the capital of Jin Nation.
It was the Jin Nation Academy.
In the capital, apart from the palace where the Emperor resided, no matter how luxurious the other places were, they definitely could not be called palaces.
However, the Jin Nation Academy could be called a palace because it was the origin of the powerhouses of Jin Nation. Not every genius came from the Jin Nation Academy, but the truly famous people of Jin Nation would basically come to the Jin Nation Academy.
In the Jin Nation Academy, there were countless secret manuals, many dignitaries, and many academies. There were refinement, alchemy, array formations, astronomy, mathematics, and everything else could be found in the Jin Nation Academy.
Since ten days ago, the king of Jin Nation ordered the Jin Nation Academy to be opened in advance, countless geniuses from the 33 states of Jin Nation came to the Jin Nation Academy to take part in the assessment.
The disciples of the major sects all showed their mystical abilities, and there were also many disciples of the hidden sects. Without exception, they were all geniuses.
The grandeur was many times greater than the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet.
The Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet itself was a sword trial of the state. In the past, even the person who ranked first would at most condense the Four Thunder sword momentum. However, in the Jin Nation Academy, the weakest person did not just condense the Four Thunder sword momentum.
In the main hall of the Jin Nation Academy.
A young man in purple stood with his hands behind his back, staring at the hundreds of people outside the hall in silence.
Another man stood behind him, holding a booklet in his hand as he spoke.
"Senior Brother, the Jin Nation Academy has opened in advance this time, and the number of applicants is 13,672. In the first round, 12,600 people were eliminated, 542 people were eliminated, and 130 people were eliminated in the third round. In the end, there are a total of 400 new students who passed the assessment."
"However, there are an additional 32 people enrolled in the twelve academies. As of now, there are 432 new students this time, and the cultivators of Lizhou have the most."
"They are outside the hall."
The man behind him looked at the booklet in his hand and said seriously.
"432 people? That's nearly double the number of people in the previous cohort. It seems that they are all here for the Ten Nations Academy. "
The man in purple said slowly. His cultivation level was very strong and he was at the perfected Foundation Establishment realm. However, his Qi and blood were vigorous and he was definitely not an ordinary cultivator at the perfected Foundation Establishment realm.
"Maybe, but the strongest person among them is very extraordinary. He has already perfected the Foundation Establishment realm at the age of 16, and he cultivates the Dragon Elephant Technique."
The latter answered that he was not interested in the purpose of those people coming to the Jin Nation Academy.
"Dragon Elephant Technique? There are some things. Oh, by the way, that Qingzhou … What's it called again? Ye Ping, yes, Ye Ping, is he here? "
The man in purple continued to ask.
"Ye Ping? Qingzhou? I took a look, no one in the entire Qingzhou passed. "
The latter checked the booklet and said so.
"Hah, he's just a person who relies on his uncle to create power. I don't think he would dare to come."
The man in purple humphed coldly.
Immediately afterwards, he walked out of the main hall and stared at the 432 people outside with bright eyes.
