At the bottom of the sea, the mushroom sat cross-legged, absorbing the power of the Heart of the Sea God.
Every member of the Sea God Race possessed the Heart of the Sea God, but only clansmen of the Eighth Realm and above could prevent their hearts from rotting.
This Heart of the Sea God originated from an Eighth Realm cultivator.
It contained an enormous amount of power. Although it was less than one-tenth of its power, it was still quite considerable. Based on Ling Xian's estimation, if he completely absorbs it, the mushroom will for sure break through to the advanced stage of the seventh level. He may even reach the peak!
However, this was not something that could be done in a short period of time. It would take at least half a year to completely absorb it.
Therefore, Ling Xian no longer paid attention to the mushroom and pondered about the seal.
Unfortunately, no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't think of any reliable method.
"Is there really no other way …"
Ling Xian softly sighed. He was talking to himself, but he got a response.
"Perhaps you can try the Heart of the Sea God."
The mushroom opened its eyes, and a majestic aura gushed out, stirring up a huge wave that swept through the surroundings.
That was the aura of the middle stage of the Seventh Realm.
"Congratulations on your breakthrough."
Ling Xian grinned, "Why aren't you continuing?"
"I want you to absorb the remaining energy. Who knows, you might be able to break the seal in your body." The mushroom said with a smile.
"That's a good idea."
Ling Xian thought about it. The Heart of the Sea God possessed a large amount of energy. If he absorbed it, he could break the seal.
"So, let's give it a shot."
The mushroom retracted his smile, and said. "No matter if it works or not, we have to try using external force."
"Alright, I won't be unreasonable."
Ling Xian faintly smiled and did not decline.
He and the mushroom could be said to be sworn brothers of life and death, so there was no need for him to be pretentious.
He waved his hand and the Heart of the Sea God flew above his head, releasing a vast amount of energy.
In the next second, Ling Xian summoned the Primitive Technique and began to absorb.
In the end, he was disappointed.
It wasn't that he couldn't absorb the power of the Sea God's Heart, but the instant he absorbed it, the power would dissipate completely.
Just like before he encountered the Painting of the Nine Immortals, he could absorb spiritual energy but could not condense it.
"Can't I …"
Ling Xian softly sighed and stopped absorbing the Heart of the Sea God.
The truth was right in front of them. If they continued, it would be a waste.
"Looks like external forces won't work."
The mushroom's gaze dimmed, and he said, "You can only rely on yourself."
"Yeah, but if you can't break through, you won't be able to obtain more power."
Ling Xian bitterly smiled, "If I can't get stronger, then I can't break the seal. This is a cycle with no solution."
Then, he paused for a moment. Then, his eyes lit up.
Because he suddenly realized why he was so fixated on breaking through.
Even without breaking through to a higher realm, one could still obtain power, such as transcending the Limiteer realm.
This was a miraculous and transcendent realm. Not only could one increase their strength, but there was also no need to break through.
In other words, if Ling Xian surpasses at least one undefeatable realm, he will be able to break the shackles and unlock the seal!
Therefore, Ling Xian's eyes exploded with heavenly light that was as blinding as the Sun.
This made the mushroom's spirit roused, and he said, "Have you thought of a way?"
"Not bad."
Ling Xian smiled, "I was too focused on breaking through. I forgot that even if I don't break through to a higher level, I can still increase my capabilities."
Hearing this, the mushroom's eyes brightened, "You mean … surpassing the undefeatable realm?"
"Not bad."
Ling Xian had a smile on his lips, "The person who sealed me has surpassed the undefeatable realm. In other words, I only need to surpass the undefeatable realm to break free."
"That is doable."
The mushroom brightened up and revealed a bright smile, "Congratulations on thinking of a way."
"I've found the path, but I don't know if I'll succeed."
Ling Xian shook his head. The undefeatable realm was already difficult, let alone surpassing it.
Not only does it require shocking natural talent, but it also requires luck. It can only be encountered and not sought.
However, he finally found the path. Now, as long as he works hard in this direction, there will be a chance for him to unlock the seal!
"I believe in you. Though surpassing the undefeatable realm is difficult, you can definitely do it." The mushroom was very confident in Ling Xian.
"Then I'll be counting on your blessings."
Ling Xian softly smiled, "Alright, you continue your cultivation. I will think about how to surpass the undefeatable realm."
Hearing this, the mushroom nodded softly. Then, she closed her eyes and continued to absorb the Heart of the Sea God.
Ling Xian also closed his eyes and pondered about surpassing the undefeatable realm.
Sadly, no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't think of anything.
Surpassing the undefeatable realm was far too difficult. It meant breaking through the undefeatable realm would mean surpassing the undefeatable realm. But since he was already at the undefeatable realm, how could he surpass it?
That was impossible!
"This is far too difficult. To improve on the perfect foundation is not something that can be achieved with just hard work and enlightenment."
Ling Xian softly sighed. After thinking about it, he finally figured out the key to surpassing the undefeatable realm.
Luck.
Similar to Ling Xian's two paths, only luck can help him.
"It looks like I have to let nature take its course."
Ling Xian mumbled to himself, feeling helpless.
At this moment, he no longer thought about this and placed all his focus on his physical body.
He had lost his Qi, so the only thing he could rely on was his physique.
Therefore, Ling Xian practiced the Disorder Conquering Fists to train his bones and increase his energy.
Though at the intermediate stage of the seventh level, the effects were minimal. But cultivation was like this, especially when it came to the physique. It could only be accumulated over time.
Just like that, time passed by silently.
Half a year later, the mushroom opened its eyes. Spiritual energy rolled out of it and rolled the entire ocean.
HOMMM!
Great waves rose in all directions, soaring into the heavens. All the sea demons were shivering, even the four flood dragons were trembling.
"You really broke through to the advanced stage of the seventh level."
Ling Xian softly grinned, "Congratulations."
"Sadly, I couldn't reach the peak of the Dao Reasoning level in one go." The mushroom looked pitiful.
"Be content. You broke through two levels in half a year. What more do you want?"
Ling Xian shook his head and chuckled. If others knew how easily the mushroom broke through two levels, they would be jealous.
Sadly, nobody could be jealous.
As the only descendant of the Oceanic Kind, the mushroom was extremely talented and comparable to its ancestor. It also didn't need to take things one step at a time like normal cultivators.
All she needed to do was find the home of the ancestors and her cultivation would increase greatly.
"That isn't the biggest gain." The mushroom smiled mysteriously.
"Oh?"
Ling Xian raised an eyebrow, "You know where the home of the ancestors is?"
"That's right."
The mushroom was full of smiles, "This senior has been baptized at the home of the ancestors. He knows where it is and how to open it."
"Congratulations. After entering the home of the ancestors, your cultivation level will soar." Ling Xian sincerely congratulated.
"Ling Xian, come with me."
The mushroom smiled brightly, "I am certain that you will gain something."
"I …"
Ling Xian hesitated, "That is the home of the Oceanic Kind. I am an outsider. It's not appropriate."
"There's nothing inappropriate about it. I am the only one left of the Oceanic Kind. Even if the ancestors were here, they wouldn't say anything." The mushroom shook its head.
"But I have other things to do." Ling Xian was worried about Liao Cang Qiong's request.
"It's okay. I will accompany you first, then you can accompany me."
The mushroom blinked its gem-like eyes, making it hard to say no.
