"Continue cultivating. Don't stop!"
The Eye of Insight twitched as he turned his gaze to the young lady. A mercury-like spiritual energy flowed through her body, tempering her zhenqi and raising her cultivation at a visible rate. In just a few moments, she had already made significant progress!
In less than ten minutes, it was actually comparable to a day's worth of cultivation, and it was even more than that.
"This is … the altered meridians!"
Zhang Xuan widened his eyes in realization.
Zhao Ya had once had her meridians shattered, and he had used the vines of the Dongxu Gourd to reconstruct new meridians. Ordinary cultivators would have been unable to withstand the mercury-like spiritual energy, and their meridians would have ruptured on the spot. However, Zhao Ya did not face such a problem.
He had no idea what kind of artifact the vines were, but they were still able to absorb such heavy spiritual energy with ease, showing no signs of collapsing at all.
Therefore, what was destructive to others, to her, could actually increase her cultivation quickly and make her realm even more profound!
"Teacher, I feel like I can easily push for a breakthrough to Dimension Shatterer realm at this rate!"
A moment later, Zhao Ya came to a halt as agitation gleamed in her eyes.
Over the past half a year, she had been cultivating diligently, and her cultivation had already reached Blood Reincarnation realm consummation. However, it was as if she had reached the pinnacle of this world. No matter how hard she tried, she was unable to advance any further.
At this moment, after absorbing the mercury-like spiritual energy, she suddenly felt as if she would be able to make a breakthrough at any moment.
"I see …"
Zhang Xuan's mind was as clear as a mirror, and he finally understood what was going on.
The spiritual energy on the Master Teacher Continent was far inferior to the mercury-like spiritual energy in terms of quality and weight. If one were to compare the barrier to Dimension Shatterer realm to a sturdy metal gate, it would be impossible for an ordinary stream of water to break through it. On the other hand, the mercury-like spiritual energy was akin to a ferocious tsunami, so it was much easier to break through it.
It seems like I'll have to absorb the mercury-like spiritual energy in order to advance my cultivation further, Zhang Xuan thought.
No wonder the two people who had crawled in through the crack had both reached the level of the Dimension Shattering Realm. It was all because of the mercury-like spiritual qi!
As long as the cultivators of the Master Teacher Continent could absorb the mercury-like spiritual energy, they would be able to make a breakthrough and reach higher realms.
"Continue absorbing the mercury-like spiritual energy and try pushing for a breakthrough to Dimension Shatterer realm!"
Zhang Xuan instructed.
Zhao Ya nodded. She quickly drove her zhenqi and devoured the mercury-like energy.
The others tried a few more times, but they realized that they were unable to absorb the energy like this First Senior Sister. Thus, they could only stop and surround her with envious looks.
Knowing that cultivation wasn't something that could be accomplished overnight, Zhang Xuan didn't rush her. Instead, he activated the Eye of Insight and the Library of Heaven's Path to observe Zhao Ya closely, fearing that something might happen to her.
However, she had a solid foundation. She practiced diligently and was not greedy. Her cultivation progressed in a straight line. In less than half a day, she had reached the critical point of the Void-breaking Realm. Her cultivation kept shaking, as if she would break through at any time.
"Open!"
After an unknown period of time, the accumulation reached its peak. The young lady raised her eyebrows and shouted.
Kacha! It was as if the mirror shackling her body had been shattered. At the same time, an invincible aura surged into her body, growing stronger and stronger.
More and more mercury-like spiritual energy flowed into her body, tempering her physical body and soul. It was as if her constitution had been awakened. The already beautiful young lady underwent a metamorphosis once more, becoming even more beautiful. This was especially so for her legs. It was as if some kind of spell had been cast on them, causing them to grow another five to six centimeters.
At this moment, her physique bore a striking resemblance to that of Lozosy when she wasn't in disguise.
As her physical body underwent a metamorphosis, the sound of a tidal wave echoed from her zhenqi. At the same time, her aura also grew stronger. Soon, it felt as if she was a deity, as if she didn't belong to this world.
Hong long!
In the instant that her cultivation achieved a breakthrough, innumerable streaks of lightning gathered in the sky, and the entire world shook violently. It was as if the lightning was trying to expel the young lady from the Master Teacher Continent.
After absorbing the mercury-like spiritual energy to achieve a breakthrough, Zhao Ya had turned from a droplet of water to an oil, making it impossible for her to fuse with the Master Teacher Continent.
"Suppress your cultivation!"
Zhang Xuan instructed anxiously.
Zhao Ya knew that if she didn't do so, not only would she be expelled, there was a good chance that she would be surrounded by the lightning. Thus, she quickly drove her zhenqi and sealed her cultivation. In the eyes of others, it looked as if she had undergone a Blood Reincarnation.
Hu!
As expected, as soon as her cultivation was lowered, the lightning around her gradually dissipated, and the feeling of rejection from the surrounding space vanished as well.
"They sure know how to bully the weak and fear the strong …"
With a bitter smile, Zhang Xuan shook his head helplessly.
For a native to the Master Teacher Continent to achieve a breakthrough to the Dimension Shatterer realm, the world would be subjected to all kinds of lightning and rejection. On the other hand, the cultivators from the Azure did not show the slightest bit of resistance. In fact, they even fawned on the Master Teacher Continent. Who could have thought that the heavens of the Master Teacher Continent would be a dog that only knew how to bully its own kind?
"Were you the same back then? Did you suppress your cultivation in order to survive on the Master Teacher Continent?"
Zhang Xuan asked telepathically.
Back then, Vicious had also reached the Dimension Shatterer realm, which was equivalent to an Immortal's Envoy realm expert. It was due to his strength that he was able to suppress Kong Shi to the point where he nearly lost his life several times.
"Un." Vicious nodded. "Absorbing the energy leaking from the Azure will allow one to achieve a breakthrough to the Dimension Shatterer realm. However, it's only at primary stage. It'll be impossible for one to advance any further than that. Based on my research back then, one has to enter the Azure and tap into the energy of the world there to alter the very essence of one's life. Only then will one be able to advance any further. Otherwise, one will be stuck at this realm until one dies! "
"You're unable to advance any further?"
Zhang Xuan was taken aback for a moment before he turned to Luo Ruoxin and asked.
Zhao Ya sensed her condition for a moment before shaking her head and replying, "Teacher, reaching Dimension Shatterer realm primary stage is indeed my limit. The rejection from the Master Teacher Continent is one of the reasons why I would like to continue cultivating, but more importantly, my body has already reached its limit. I'm unable to absorb any more mercury-like spiritual energy!"
It was just like how a pond was only so big. No matter how much water gushed into it, it would eventually flow away.
If one wanted to retain more water, the only way to do so was to reconstruct the pond. The larger the pond, the more water it would be able to store.
"It seems like there's indeed a difference in dimension …"
Zhang Xuan nodded in realization.
He had thought that he would be able to absorb the mercury-like spiritual energy to advance his cultivation swiftly, but from the looks of it, it seemed like he had been too naive.
If it was that easy, Kong Shi would not have left this world to enter the Azure back then.
"Let me give it a try and see if I can absorb it!"
As his understanding of the mercury-like spiritual energy grew deeper and deeper, Zhang Xuan's mind began to race once more.
The reason why he was unable to absorb the mercury-like spiritual energy previously was because he had yet to achieve a breakthrough to Ancient Sage. However, now that he had made significant progress in his cultivation, and his fighting prowess was even stronger than Zhao Ya's … Would his body be able to adapt to the mercury-like spiritual energy and successfully absorb it?
After all, his meridians had been modified, and they were much more logical than Zhao Ya's.
With such a thought in mind, Zhang Xuan closed his eyes and sat down as well.
