"Hiss hiss ~"
The two little pythons hung on Han Xue Nai's white wrists as they ceaselessly nodded to Duan Lingtian, and their eyes contained a sheen of reluctance mixed within …
But unfortunately, until they were brought out of Duan Lingtian's line of sight by Han Xue Nai, Duan Lingtian's attention didn't descend onto them.
Only because at this moment, Duan Lingtian stood dumbstruck on the crooked tree.
"Han Xue Nai … She's a Void Stage expert?"
Duan Lingtian couldn't help but fiercely gulp down a mouthful of saliva, and the shock in his heart couldn't be any greater.
The yellow clothed young girl, Han Xuenai, had given him too great of a shock!
When Han Xuenai had just appeared, Duan Lingtian's Spiritual Force didn't notice anything wrong with her in the slightest, and he even determined that Han Xuenai was only an ordinary young girl that couldn't be any more ordinary …
But earlier, the scene of Han Xuenai flying in the sky and flying away from Megrez Peak.
It caused him to deeply realize that he'd misjudged her!
Not only was Han Xuenai not an ordinary young girl, she was even a formidable Void Stage expert!
"Logically speaking, with my current Spiritual Force, if I were to face her head on, I'd even be able to see through a ninth level Void Prying Stage martial artist … I'm unable to detect Han Xue Nai's cultivation, unless she's an expert at the Void Initiation Stage or above. Or perhaps she used some sort of secret technique to conceal the aura of her Void Prying Stage cultivation. "
Presently, Duan Lingtian had a myriad of thoughts in his mind, and his mood hadn't recovered until now.
Compared to these two possibilities, he was more inclined towards the latter …
Han Xuenai was a Void Prying Stage expert, and used a secret technique to conceal her cultivation, causing his Spiritual Force to be unable to detect her.
If it was the former.
Duan Lingtian was truly unable to imagine and find it hard to believe.
Because, according to the lifetime worth of memories of Samsara Emperor Wu, stepping into the Void Prying Stage at the age of 15 or 16 wasn't impossible …
Just like some of the formidable powers that stood at the peak of Cloud Continent, their resources and reserves were extremely deep, and the natural treasures they'd accumulated were innumerable.
Using the words' overflowing with wealth 'was not enough to describe them!
The wealth they possessed would make even experts like Emperor Wu jealous.
Of course, while these forces possessed so many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, their foundation was also extremely terrifying. There was no lack of existences at the level of Emperor Wu.
If these formidable powers intended to place emphasis on fostering a disciple of the younger generation, then they were entirely capable of using countless treasures of heaven and earth on the disciple, allowing the disciple to step into the Void Prying Stage at the age of 15 or 16 wasn't a difficult matter …
Therefore,
Even though a Void Prying Stage martial artist at the age of 15 or 16 was extremely rare in the entire Cloud Continent, it wasn't like they didn't exist!
However, according to the memories of Samsara Emperor Wu, it was practically impossible for a 15 or 16 year old Void Initiation Stage martial artist to appear.
Because going from the Void Prying Stage to the Void Initiation Stage wasn't purely a transformation of one's strength, and it was even a transformation of one's Force …
Because of this.
It was possible for a 15 or 16 year old ninth level Void Prying Stage martial artist to appear.
However, it was practically impossible for a 15 or 16 year old first level Void Initiation Stage martial artist to appear!
Because the transformation of Force was related to comprehension ability.
Comprehension ability was what was often said to be Martial Dao comprehension ability.
Martial Dao comprehension ability was separated from natural talent in the Martial Dao, yet both complemented each other …
For example, if a martial artist below the Void Prying Stage had a high comprehension ability, then when cultivating martial skills, the speed at which their martial skills improved was extremely fast … On the contrary, if one had a low comprehension ability, then when cultivating martial skills, the speed at which their martial skills improved would definitely be extremely slow.
As for martial artists at the Void Prying Stage and above, the level of comprehension ability would even affect the comprehension of Force.
So, when a martial artist cultivated, both natural talent and comprehension ability were indispensable.
A person's cultivation could be piled up with countless treasures of heaven and earth … But it would at most be piled up to the ninth level of the Void Prying Stage.
Because once one stepped into the ninth level of the Void Prying Stage, if one's comprehension of Force hadn't attained a certain level, then it would be impossible to break through to the Void Initiation Stage!
All of this was something Duan Lingtian found out from the memories of Samsara Emperor Wu.
Whereas according to the memories of Samsara Emperor Wu.
No matter how high a 15 or 16 year old martial artist's comprehension ability was, it was impossible for the martial artist to comprehend Force to the point of being able to break through to the Void Initiation Stage …
So, Duan Lingtian determined that Han Xuenai ought to be an existence at the Void Prying Stage and not a Void Initiation Stage expert!
After all, Han Xuenai's age was too young.
Young to the point it was shocking.
But even then, the shock in Duan Lingtian's heart was still like before, and it was difficult to calm down.
A 15 or 16 year old Void Prying Stage martial artist …
The corners of Duan Lingtian's mouth curled into a bitter smile, and he suddenly felt that his cultivation was nothing when compared to Han Xuenai.
"No wonder Xue Nai said her home was extremely far away … A power that's capable of fostering a 15 or 16 year old Void Prying Stage expert is surely a formidable power in the Foreign Lands without a doubt! To think that I was guessing earlier that she was a member of a top power in the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom. "
As he thought up to this point, Duan Lingtian laughed in self-ridicule as he realized that he'd still underestimated Xue Nai.
"Besides that, no wonder those two little fellows wanted to follow Xue Nai and that Qing Nu … Xue Nai's strength is already so strong, since that Qing Nu is a demon beast that's guarding by her side, she's surely an extremely terrifying existence as well."
"Perhaps she's a Void Initiation Stage demon beast. Or perhaps … a Void Interpretation Stage demon beast, or even a Void Transformation Stage demon beast! "
Duan Lingtian gasped as he truly realized how terrifying Xue Nai's background was.
"Who exactly is Xue Nai …? What sort of identity does she have?"
At the same time that Duan Lingtian's heart was filled with shock, it was filled with curiosity as well.
Xue Nai was too mysterious.
Mysterious to the point it caused one's heart to tremble …
After a short moment, Duan Lingtian recovered from his shock, and he heaved a sigh of relief before returning to the stalactite cave.
At this moment, he couldn't help but recall the two little pythons, and his face revealed a trace of a bitter smile …
After parting with the two little fellows today, he didn't know when they'd meet again.
"At that time, I wonder to what extent they'll have grown to."
A trace of anticipation arose within Duan Lingtian's heart, anticipation towards seeing the two little pythons again in the future.
After going silent for a moment, Duan Lingtian recovered from his shock, and his gaze descended onto the Spatial Ring in his hand.
"Profound Origin Fruit!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Duan Lingtian withdrew a spirit fruit from his Spatial Ring, and it was also his greatest gain from the outer court martial competition this time.
As for the other rewards for the first place in the outer court martial competition, it was none other than a pile of Origin Strengthening Pills and some other medicinal pills.
Perhaps these medicinal pills were extremely precious in the eyes of ordinary outer court disciples, but in the eyes of Duan Lingtian, they were only a pile of trash.
A pile of trash medicinal pills whose purity caused him to be extremely dissatisfied.
"I'll go back to the Trade Hall and resell these medicinal pills."
At the same time that Duan Lingtian had a plan in his heart, his gaze descended onto the spirit fruit in his hand.
This spirit fruit, the Profound Origin Fruit, was completely milky white in color, and its surface flickered with a faint sheen. With a single glance, one could discern that it wasn't simple …
Duan Lingtian picked up the Profound Origin Fruit and directly took a bite out of it.
The juice of the Profound Origin Fruit was cool and refreshing, and the flesh of the fruit melted as soon as it entered his mouth.
After a short moment, Duan Lingtian ate the entire Profound Origin Fruit in two or three mouthfuls. At the same time, a warm energy started to flash up and down along his body.
This was the medicinal strength of the Profound Origin Fruit!
Without the slightest hesitation, Duan Lingtian sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and started to cultivate seriously.
Nine Dragons War Sovereign Technique, Wyrm Python Form!
Within Duan Lingtian's body, his Origin Energy fused into the medicinal strength of the Profound Origin Fruit, and along with the medicinal strength of the Profound Origin Fruit, it circulated along the circulation path of the Wyrm Python Form.
Over and over again, without the slightest pause …
After an unknown amount of time, Duan Lingtian was able to clearly feel that the medicinal strength of the Profound Origin Fruit was gradually fusing with the Origin Energy in his body at an extremely swift speed.
After his Origin Energy fused with the medicinal strength of the Profound Origin Fruit, it gradually strengthened.
His cultivation that had just broken through to the sixth level of the Origin Core Stage not long ago increased at an extremely swift speed …
In next to no time, he arrived at the bottleneck before breaking through to the seventh level of the Origin Core Stage.
Because the sixth level of the Origin Core Stage and the seventh level of the Origin Core Stage was a watershed, so this bottleneck could be said to be the greatest cultivation bottleneck that an Origin Core Stage martial artist faced.
Once he broke through this bottleneck, his strength would increase by the strength of 20 ancient mammoths!
Although he didn't succeed in breaking through the bottleneck the first time, Duan Lingtian wasn't anxious.
Only a third of the medicinal strength of the Profound Origin Fruit had been exerted now …
The second breakthrough!
The bottleneck loosened, but still wasn't broken through.
The third breakthrough!
It was more or less the same.
…
Duan Lingtian didn't know how many times he broke through the bottleneck, and only when two-thirds of the medicinal strength of the Profound Origin Fruit had been exerted did the vast Origin Energy within his body surge, and he finally broke through the bottleneck.
The bottleneck was broken through, and all his Origin Energy underwent a tremendous change.
Origin Energy gushed into his Dantian, and the Origin Core within his Dantian underwent a change along with it.
It grew slightly larger …
Seventh level of the Origin Core Stage!
Duan Lingtian's mind shook, and he was slightly excited.
He never imagined that he'd only broken through to the sixth level of the Origin Core Stage for a few days before relying on the Profound Origin Fruit, a treasure of heaven and earth that could only be chanced upon by luck and not sought for, to once again break through to the seventh level of the Origin Core Stage.
All of this was like a dream to him.
But Duan Lingtian knew clearly in his heart that all of this wasn't a dream.
He didn't wake up, because a third of the medicinal strength of the Profound Origin Fruit still remained …
The Profound Origin Fruit was a miraculous spirit fruit, but its medicinal strength was extremely easy to evaporate. If Duan Lingtian didn't digest this medicinal strength now, then after a few more days, not even half of it would remain.
The Profound Origin Fruit couldn't compare to the Monkey Wine and Monkey King Wine after all.
The latter was brewed by the Stone Monkeys, and had already condensed the medicinal strength of various spirit fruits, so it wasn't much different from medicinal pills.
Whereas the Profound Origin Fruit was instead a natural spirit fruit that didn't undergo any interference.
Once this spirit fruit was consumed, it must be completely digested at the first possible moment.
Continue cultivating!
The Origin Energy within Duan Lingtian's body continued to strengthen, and when it was about to approach the bottleneck of breaking through to the eighth level of the Origin Core Stage, the medicinal strength of the Profound Origin Fruit was finally completely digested by him.
Suddenly, Duan Lingtian opened his eyes.
A fierce bright light flashed before vanishing.
"Seventh level of the Origin Core Stage!"
