The Book of Heaven's Path didn't just have the effect of smashing one's opponent. It also had the effect of recording the contents of the book and raising one's Soul Depth.
He had used it twice previously, and each time, he had managed to raise his Soul Depth by 5.0. Since there was no longer any use for him to cultivate, he could use this Soul Depth to overcome the bottleneck of 29.9. That would be equivalent to possessing the Soul of Ancient Sage!
Even though he had only met an Ancient Sage once before the latter had smashed him to death, the fact that he had kept his corpse in his storage ring made him realize just how fearsome it was. If he could raise his Soul Depth to that level, would he be able to protect himself even if he were to encounter an Ancient Sage in the future?
Even if he was unable to do so, as long as his Soul Depth was high enough, he would be able to disguise himself as an Ancient Sage.
When it came to disguise, one's mental state was definitely the best cheat. As long as one's mental state was strong enough, no one in the same realm could see through one's disguise.
"Give it a try!"
Zhang Xuan's eyes burned with passion as he recalled the first time he used the golden page to raise his Soul Depth. Closing his eyes, he muttered, Raise my Soul Depth!
There was no movement.
He closed his eyes and opened them again. "Increase my state of mind!"
There was still no movement.
The Book of Heaven's Path floated quietly in the Library of Heaven's Path, seemingly mocking his actions.
"Help me improve my state of mind!"
"Time to improve my state of mind!"
"Breakthrough 29.9 …"
…
After trying for more than a dozen times, the Book of Heaven's Path still showed no reaction at all. So, Zhang Xuan could only rub his glabella helplessly.
From the looks of it, it seemed like the Book of Heaven's Path was unable to be upgraded as well.
As expected, cultivating the state of mind wasn't that simple!
It seemed that he had to prepare for a protracted battle in advance. If one day wasn't enough, then two days. If two days wasn't enough, then three days … At most, half a month should be enough!
If he still couldn't achieve a breakthrough, he could only try to see if there was a sixth acknowledgement of Celestial Master Teacher or something like that.
Just as Zhang Xuan was about to check on Heung Kensei's state of mind, he suddenly felt spiritual energy gathering not too far away from him. Turning his head over, he saw that Sword Saint Meng's Soul Depth had reached 29.9, and her bottleneck at the Intuitive Impulse realm had finally been overcome, allowing her to reach the Sempiternal realm!
Her talent had always been extremely high. The reason why she had not been able to break through was because she was worried about her son. Now that her son had been found, her state of mind had improved again, and she had directly taken a step forward.
At Sempiternal realm, one's Primordial Spirit would be indestructible. No external force would be able to affect one's thoughts. With a single thought, one would be able to tear through space!
At this level, they were already the strongest existences beneath Ancient Sage.
Spiritual energy swiftly flowed into Sword Saint Meng's body, and her strength swiftly rose.
Seeing that it would take a long time for the other party to reinforce his cultivation, Zhang Xuan flicked his finger, and a grade-9 pill flew over.
The pill melted in Zhang Xuan's mouth, and a powerful surge of spiritual energy burst through his body. The bottleneck that he had been obstructing him previously was cleared in an instant.
Seeing that she was no longer in any danger after her breakthrough, Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief.
The opening of the Temple of Confucius was fraught with peril. The stronger one was, the greater one's chances of survival would be. Even though Zhang Xuan was a transmigrated soul, the Xingmeng Sword Saint and the Xingmeng Sword Saint had always regarded him as their parent.
Under such circumstances, he naturally hoped that they would become stronger.
He turned to look at Heung Kensei, who was standing in front of the crystal ball. At this moment, his Soul Depth was also rising by 0.1, 0.1, 0.1. It did not take long before his Soul Depth reached 29.9 as well.
"My state of mind has also reached its limit …"
With glowing eyes, Heung Kensei walked up to him.
"You … aren't you going to make a breakthrough?"
Seeing the excited look on Zhang Xuan's face, unlike his mother, who was preparing to push for a breakthrough to Sempiternal realm, Zhang Xuan asked doubtfully.
"I just made a breakthrough in my Soul Depth, so there's no need to rush. I'll make a breakthrough after I recuperate for a while," Heung Kensei replied with a nod.
"What do you need to recuperate for? Hurry up and do it! I took a look earlier, and the reason why you are unable to make a breakthrough is due to your blocked meridians. I have a pill here. Consume it, and it'll open up your blocked meridians.
With a flick of his finger, Zhang Xuan passed another pill over.
His wife has already made a breakthrough, and you still want to recuperate for a while? Are you just waiting to be beaten up?
"I …"
Heung Kensei was stunned.
Could it be that his son was looking down on him for his slow cultivation?
That's true!
A year ago, you had just reached Fighter realm, and I had a Sudden Impulse.
Half a year ago, you had just reached Saint realm, and I had a Sudden Impulse.
A few days ago, you had just reached Great Sage 1-dan Introspective Convalescence realm, and I had a Sudden Impulse …
But today, you had already reached Aureate Body realm, and I still had a Sudden Impulse …
If he did not hurry up, the other party would really catch up to him!
Without any hesitation, Zhang Xuan opened his mouth and swallowed the pill. As the medicinal energy spread throughout his body, he felt a surge of pure zhenqi flowing swiftly through his meridians. In the blink of an eye, the blockages in his body were cleared.
A powerful aura gushed forth from his glabella, and his cultivation, which had been stuck for many years, finally made a breakthrough.
"This …"
Heung Kensei felt as if he was dreaming. He had made a breakthrough before he could even sit down to cultivate.
This … breakthrough, what a trifling matter!
However, knowing that this was not the time for him to be shocked, he closed his eyes and began cultivating.
"There's still some time left. Who would like to continue?"
Seeing that his parents had reached Sempiternal realm, Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief. He turned to Lozosy and Wu Chen and asked, "There's no need for that.
Both Milady and I have already reached our limits. There's no point in cultivating anymore! "
Wu Chen clasped his fist.
"Limits? Are both of you at 29.9? "Zhang Xuan was taken aback.
He had thought that they were only ordinary Sempiternal realm cultivators, but who could have known that their Soul Depth would be so frightening as well?
"The crystal ball is no longer of use to us, and we have only used it for an hour. Are you going to return the remaining hour to us?"
Zhang Xuan turned to the middle-aged man beside him and asked.
"…"
The middle-aged man's face twitched.
If other cultivators could raise their Soul Depth by 0.1 within two hours, they would be able to rejoice for half a month. Yet, all three of them managed to raise their Soul Depth by 29.9 within an hour … More importantly, they even thought that it was a loss for them to use a Saint pinnacle artifact, and they demanded a refund …
He had never seen anyone as stingy as them!
"Why? You don't want a refund?" Zhang Xuan frowned.
"That's not it … It's an honor for our Heart Pavilion to be able to achieve a breakthrough here. How about this? I'll pay for the two hours you have spent today."
Seeing the serious look on the other party's face, the middle-aged man flicked his wrist and passed the Saint pinnacle artifact back to Zhang Xuan.
Even though they had lost an hour, the appearance of five Soul Depth experts at the same time, and three of them had achieved a breakthrough in the Heart Pavilion. This was a huge promotion for them.
All in all, they had profited from it.
"That's more like it!"
Zhang Xuan nodded in satisfaction as he stowed the Saint pinnacle artifact back into his storage ring.
The middle-aged man turned to look at the crystal ball not too far away, and a glint flashed across his eyes. "Since they are able to achieve a breakthrough so quickly, will I be able to achieve a breakthrough as well if I go up?"
With such thoughts in mind, he quickly walked up to the crystal ball without any hesitation.
Once the formation in the crystal ball was activated, it would take at least two hours for it to be activated. Since they were not going to use it, it would be a waste for them to keep it for themselves.
Zhang Xuan placed his hand on the crystal ball, but there was no change to his Soul Depth at all.
It was at this moment that he realized that it had nothing to do with his crystal ball at all.
