Floating Spirit Region.
The huge altar that stood on the endless land emitted a faint pressure. It was like an ancient legend that stood in the river of time, eternal and unchanging.
This was the core of the entire Floating Spirit Region and the holy land in the hearts of all cultivators. This was the Elder's Altar, the place where Hayashikawa went into seclusion.
"Blue Dragon has been in the space of the Nine Heavens Arcane Jade for almost a year. Could something have happened to him?"
Five cultivators in black robes asked with furrowed brows as they hovered in front of a huge door of light.
"Spiritual Fire, do you want to go in and take a look?" one of them asked.
Elder Spiritual Fire Ni Huanzhi stared at the door in front of her with her black eyes. After a moment of silence, she replied, "He said he wants to go into seclusion and doesn't want us to disturb him. I can't go in!"
"But he's been in there for almost a year. He hasn't come out for such a long time. It's very likely that he's already died in there. You should know very well how terrifying the immortal Qi inside is. Even Void Tempering cultivators like you and me wouldn't be able to last long in there, let alone when he was just an early-Deity Transformation cultivator!" Elder Spiritual Earth said with a frown.
Although the other three didn't say anything, they generally agreed with Elder Spiritual Earth's opinion. They knew very well how terrifying the space of the Nine Heavens Arcane Jade was. Even Void Tempering cultivators wouldn't be able to last long in there, let alone others. If it weren't for such a dangerous environment, the Nine Heavens Arcane Jade would have been taken away long ago.
"I trust him!" Ni Huanzhi said stubbornly.
"You … you can't be … sigh … forget it, do as you wish …" The elders were slightly taken aback by Ni Huanzhi's words. They seemed to understand something, but in the end, they could only shake their heads helplessly and turn to leave.
Ni Huanzhi stared at the door, her eyes reflecting the pure white light of the door. It was dazzling and dreamy.
She didn't know why she trusted Blue Dragon so much, but she knew very well that if it were anyone else, she wouldn't be so sure. However, she trusted Blue Dragon without any reason.
"No matter how long it takes, I'll wait for your return!" Ni Huanzhi said softly, before turning and leaving.
In the darkness, the door emitting white radiance remained unchanged. It was still standing there. And behind this door was the place where [Akatsuki] Blue Dragon was in seclusion.
Endless Immortal Qi raged within. The spatial coordinates here were completely chaotic. All spatial magic was useless here. One couldn't move or travel through the void. One could only rely on walking forward step by step. Once one retreated, they would immediately leave this space. All their previous efforts would be in vain.
In such an environment, Hayashikawa endured inhuman pain as he walked step by step towards the core area. With every step he took, his muscles, bones, and blood would be attacked by powerful immortal qi. He was constantly injured and recovering, increasing his physical strength.
The only advantage was that Hayashikawa could use Mangekyo Sharingan's incorporeal form to avoid the attack of immortal qi for a short period of time. Thus, he had a certain amount of time to breathe. In addition, he could only rely on one of the three original scriptures, Buddha Scripture!
This Primordial Scripture, which specialized in the cultivation of the physical body, provided Lin Chuan's body with a steady stream of power. Without the existence of this scripture, Lin Chuan might not be able to reach the place where the Mysterious Jade of the Nine Heavens was located even after spending a few decades. However, with the help of the Buddha Scripture, Lin Chuan's body's speed of evolution was extremely fast. The level that others would need to spend a few years to reach, he could accomplish it in a few days under the impact of the Immortal Qi and the training of the Buddha Scripture. As long as his body was strong enough, he could continuously take steps forward and advance towards the place where the Mysterious Jade of the Nine Heavens was.
At this moment, Hayashikawa's figure could no longer be seen at the entrance. He had relied on his own efforts to advance into the depths of the space.
In the darkness, a bare-chested youth sat cross-legged. There was an endless storm of immortal qi violently pulling around him. The terrifying pressure was enough to tear apart all the Apotheosis Realm cultivators who entered this place in an instant. However, the figure sitting cross-legged there was motionless, as if he was not affected at all.
This person was none other than Hayashikawa, who had entered this place for closed-door cultivation.
If the entire space of the Mysterious Jade of the Nine Heavens was divided into the outer, middle, and inner regions, then Hayashikawa had already entered the inner region. At this place, the pressure of the immortal qi had become extremely terrifying. Even if Ni Huanzhi, who was at the Void Refinement Realm, came here, he would be seriously injured in an instant. If he stayed a little longer, he would directly die. There was no room for resistance at all.
Visible to the naked eye, rays of white light spread out from Hayashikawa's body. His body constantly cracked open, but no blood flowed out. Only countless white runes could be seen flashing, causing the cracks to quickly heal. However, it was clear that this was a tug of war. Every time Hayashikawa's body healed, the terrifying pressure of the immortal qi would once again pull open countless wounds on his body. At this moment, the Buddha's Scripture would appear, helping Hayashikawa temper his body and heal his injuries.
At this point in time, just the strength of Hayashikawa's body alone had already surpassed the majority of Void Refinement Realm cultivators. This was the power of the Buddha's Scripture. It could not be measured by the common sense of ordinary people. It reigned above all beings.
* Buzz! *
Hayashikawa's eyes suddenly opened. Nine black magatama appeared, and his blood-red eyes flickered with a strange dim light. It was demonic and terrifying.
Over the years of constant cultivation, as well as consuming large amounts of herbs from the Floating Spirits Shrine, Lin Chuan's Sharingan had already evolved to the level of nine tomoe. However, this was only the nine tomoe level of the Sharingan, and not the Rinnegan level. There was still a huge difference in essence, but it was enough to allow Lin Chuan's strength to increase tremendously. In terms of eye power, he had already reached an extremely high level.
At least for now, it seemed that the third pair of Mangekyo Sharingan was not far away. Hayashikawa also felt that when his Sharingan evolved to the extreme, he would awaken the fourth pair of Mangekyo Sharingan. At that time, it was very likely that he would awaken the ability of the Mangekyo Sharingan that belonged solely to him. This made him very much look forward to that moment.
"With the help of the Mahākāśyapa Scripture and the Buddha's Scripture, the strength of my soul and body has reached the late Void Refinement Realm. I'm finally getting closer to the Enigmatic Jade of the Nine Heavens!" Hayashikawa whispered to himself.
The eye power of the Sharingan erupted. Hayashikawa's eyes looked into the depths of the space. There was a pure white jade pendant floating there. It was engraved with gorgeous carvings of mountains and rivers. There were nine sides to it. It was the Enigmatic Jade of the Nine Heavens!
