He had concocted pills, killed Zhen Yuan's consciousness with poison, guided Li Yang in devouring spiritual energy, and helped him achieve a breakthrough … In other words, Zhang Xuan was half a teacher to Li Yang. When there were only three minutes left in the hour, the nine types of spiritual energy were finally able to move.
"Fuse!"
Paying no heed to the expressions of the crowd, Su Yin closed his eyes tightly. With a jolt of his consciousness, the two streams of spiritual energy immediately drew close to one another. Using the Art of Healing and the formation inscriptions as a link, they swiftly fused together.
In the blink of an eye, they were all gathered together.
Seeing how the young man wasn't nervous despite the short time remaining, Qian Qi frowned.
Breaking through from the second level of the Eternal Realm to the third level was not as difficult as breaking through from the Void Immortal Realm. It was not something that could be done overnight. It could be done within a few minutes!
What's more, he had discussed with the other party to reach the fourth level!
No matter how he looked at it, he was bound to lose!
Even though he knew that he was going to lose, he wasn't nervous at all. He even said that he had enough time. Either he was a fool or he had more trump cards up his sleeves!
The other party had just displayed so many miraculous means, and in less than an hour, he was able to cause a 180-degree change in Liyang. He was definitely not an idiot …
Then … what was his trump card?
Throughout history, he had never heard of anyone being able to raise their cultivation by at least two realms in such a short period of time … Not even Enlightenment was possible!
Just as Zhang Xuan was perplexed, the young man before him slowly opened his eyes and looked at him with a smile. "Where's the Superior spiritual energy? Can you take it out now? "
"This …"
Looking at the time, there was less than a minute left. Qian Qi really couldn't figure out how the other party could make a comeback. He snorted, "Even if I give it to you, do you think you can succeed in such a short time?"
Even though Zhang Xuan was mocking Zhang Xuan, he didn't make things difficult for Zhang Xuan. With a light tap of his finger, he channeled his Superior spiritual energy into the form of a massive dragon and flew over.
As expected of the successor of the Qiankun Sect, even though this spiritual energy was still far from a complete supreme spirit vein, it was still comparable to a half supreme spirit vein!
It was enough for two or three peak False Immortals to cultivate at the same time.
To be able to take out so many spirit veins despite the lack of spirit veins, this was enough to show how important Qiankun Sect was to him.
"You guys, take it out as well. This amount of Spiritual Qi doesn't seem to be enough!"
Su Yin gently stroked his palm, and the spirit energy dragon immediately circled around him before looking at Yuan Hai and the others again.
Frowning, Yuan Hai and Zhao Xun still sent the transcendent-grade spiritual qi they brought over. Although it wasn't as much as Qian Qi, it was still far more than what an ordinary Pseudo Immortal could bring.
As for Liyang, not only did it send over the Spiritual Qi it had brought, it also sent a pile of Spirit Stones.
Seeing how the surges of Superior spiritual energy they had released were as obedient as kittens before Zhang Xuan, Yuan Hai harrumphed coldly. "Spiritual energy is what we lost in the bet. Since you have lost, you'll have to compensate us accordingly …"
"Don't worry. If I lose, I won't go back on my word!"
Seeing that the spiritual energy was in place, Su Yin stopped suppressing the devouring power in his dantian and opened up all the acupoints in his body. In the next moment, the spiritual energy dragons in the surroundings immediately rushed into his body as though they had seen a delicious cake.
A deafening explosion sounded, and a massive storm of spiritual energy gathered above the young man's head. At the same time, the Spirit Stones that Liyang had taken out exploded as well, causing the flow of spiritual energy to grow stronger and stronger.
The rate at which the spiritual energy gushed into Zhang Xuan's body grew faster and faster, producing the sound of a tidal wave. It was fortunate that they were in the vicinity of the Cultivation Chamber, so no matter how huge the commotion was, it wouldn't attract the attention of others. Otherwise, they would have long been surrounded by countless soldiers.
"This …"
"Is this a breakthrough? Is he not a demon who came here to blow up Decimating Abyss City? "
Having never seen such a sight before, Qian Qi and the others were so frightened that their faces paled, and their bodies trembled uncontrollably.
It was impossible to eat a fatty in a single mouthful. This saying was applicable to ordinary people, but it was even more applicable to cultivators.
If one were to consume too much spiritual energy in a single go and be unable to assimilate it, it could very well cause irreparable damage to one's cultivation foundation.
It was for this reason that even though they were geniuses who hadn't appeared in a thousand years, they were still able to consume spiritual energy in the same manner as ordinary people. They were able to consume spiritual energy bit by bit instead of shaking their foundations.
Yet, the young man before them was able to consume all of the Superior spiritual energy they had taken out … Just what in the world was he thinking? Was he really not afraid that he wouldn't be able to convert the spiritual energy into Zhen Yuan in time and end up exploding?
"Wait a moment …"
Seemingly having noticed something, Yuan Hai narrowed his eyes. "It seems like the spiritual energy isn't being absorbed into his body. Instead, it's rushing into his body to refine it into Zhen Yuan. In other words, as soon as it enters his body, it will be converted into the purest form of energy …"
"Of its own accord?"
"He doesn't need to refine it?"
Qian Qi, Zhao Xun, and the others were stunned.
The higher the quality of the spiritual energy, the more difficult it would be to absorb it. Even though they were geniuses, it would still be troublesome for them to absorb and refine it. They had never heard of anyone taking the initiative to refine it into their body and refine it into Zhen Yuan.
If that was the case, it would be equivalent to reclaiming one's scattered cultivation … It wouldn't take any time at all!
Turning their gazes toward the young man, they saw thick streams of spiritual energy circling around the other party, as humble as a pug. It was one thing for it to temper itself into the other party's Zhen Yuan before entering his acupoints, but it seemed to be worried that the young man would despise it, so it was extremely obedient.
Was this really the Superior Spiritual Energy from a Superior Spirit Vein?
But before they could recover from their shock, Su Yin's dantian buzzed loudly as he absorbed the converted Zhen Yuan. His aura began to soar at a rate visible to the naked eye.
In the blink of an eye, he had broken through the shackles of Eternal 2-dan, followed by 3-dan, 4-dan …
In less than ten breaths, he had already reached Eternal 9-dan pinnacle!
"…"
The mouths of the four geniuses widened in shock.
This was no longer a breakthrough. It felt more like the young man was displaying the cultivation that he had cultivated for a long time!
Otherwise, how could he possibly advance so quickly?
As a top genius, even if his cultivation speed was faster than the average cultivator, it would only be a small realm at a time. To be able to advance so quickly just by breathing … It was unimaginable!
Boom!
But before they could recover from their shock, the young man's cultivation had already reached 2-dan Pseudo Immortal realm, and it slowly came to a halt.
Taking a look at the time, Qian Qi's body swayed violently, and he nearly spurted blood. There was still half a minute to go.
In other words, from the moment the young man began his breakthrough to Eternal 3-dan to 2-dan Pseudo Immortal, it had only taken him half a minute!
Nine small realms, one major realm, and yet, he had managed to do it in half a minute …
All along, he had thought of himself as a genius, and he had the right to boast about his incredible cultivation speed. However, upon seeing the sight before him, he realized that his so-called 'talent' was nothing more than a fart!
"The ceremony is just a joke …"
Yuan Hai muttered under his breath, and he was on the verge of tears.
The young man had actually made a breakthrough in just half a minute … What did that have to do with treating his illness?
He could have done it in such a short period of time, but he had insisted on betting with them that it would take him an hour. It was obvious that he was trying to save face so that they would not feel inferior!
Yet, they had naively thought that it would be impossible for him to complete the ceremony …
How shameful!
"His talent can be considered as the number one genius in history, right?"
Yuan Hai lamented. But before he could finish his words, the young man had finally stopped absorbing spiritual energy, and a stifled look appeared on his face. "Only 2-dan Pseudo Immortal? Isn't this improvement a little too slow? "
"…"
The four geniuses clutched their chests, unable to speak a single word.
What was this?
In just half a minute, the young man had advanced from 2-dan Eternal to 2-dan Pseudo Immortal, and yet, he was still dissatisfied with it?
If you call this slow, what are we doing? Squirming on the spot?
In an instant, the four of them felt that they had wasted their lives.
"I can't let it go to waste …"
Seeing that his breakthrough had come to a halt, Su Yin knew that he had reached his limit. With a light wave of his hand, the remaining spiritual energy in the air gathered into a straight line and dived into the True Dragon Sword.
The True Dragon Sword harnessed a Half Transcendent Spirit Vein, and as long as he gathered sufficient spiritual energy, it would be able to evolve into a true transcendent spirit lamp.
In other words, as long as he succeeded, he would have a transcendent spirit vein and a sect with him.
After absorbing all of the spiritual energy, Su Yin turned his gaze to his dantian and shook his head.
He was not putting on an act when he said that his cultivation was too slow.
He had thought that he would be able to push for a breakthrough to 7-dan Pseudo Immortal after fusing nine surges of zhenqi together. Who could have known that he would stop at 2-dan Pseudo Immortal?
As expected, the higher one's cultivation was, the higher the requirement on one's strength.
If he wanted to reach Pseudo Immortal realm pinnacle, he would have to fuse ten surges of spiritual energy together.
A 2-dan Pseudo Immortal could be said to be invincible in the Great Yan Continent, but in the Gan Origin Alliance, where Pseudo Immortals were everywhere, it was still too weak.
It seemed like he would have to enter the Dimension Ascension Stage as soon as possible to fuse more spiritual energy together.
At the very least, he had to be on par with Liyang.
With a goal in mind, Su Yin no longer hesitated. He exhaled deeply before turning to the four before him and asking, "I didn't exceed the time limit, right?"
It was true that he had wasted too much time treating Liyang. Otherwise, he would have made a breakthrough long ago.
"We didn't surpass the time limit, so we lost …"
The crowd nodded in agreement.
As indignant as they were, they had their own pride as geniuses. They couldn't deny their loss so easily. A loss was a loss, and there was nothing they couldn't admit to. Only by facing it head-on would they be able to become stronger and stronger.
"Seeing Brother Su's breakthrough with my own eyes makes me realize that there's always someone stronger!"
Qian Qi clasped his fist and bowed. All of his previous hostility had turned into admiration. "Only a genius like you is worthy of Miss Ling 'er. It's no wonder why she's so fond of you! I, Qian Qi, swear that I won't harass Miss Ling 'er anymore from today onward … "
"I'm also willing to admit my loss. From today onward, Ling 'er is Auntie Su. If you dare dream of marrying her again, you'll die a tragic death …"
Yuan Hai also nodded in agreement.
Zhao Xun and Liyang quickly followed suit.
"…" Su Yin sighed helplessly.
He had only known Ling 'er for less than two hours, so his so-called admiration was nothing more than nonsense.
Nevertheless, it was a good thing that they didn't harbor any hostility toward him.
"I heard that Brother Su isn't satisfied with the speed of your breakthrough. Could it be that … Brother Su used some kind of special cultivation technique to accumulate so much energy?"
Qian Qi couldn't help but ask his doubts. Everyone felt a lot more at ease after letting go of their thoughts.
Breaking through so many realms at once wasn't something that could be achieved through normal cultivation. It was likely that Zhang Xuan had used some kind of secret art that they had never heard of before.
"That's not it. It's just that I've accumulated enough energy …" Su Yin waved his hand.
Naturally, he couldn't tell them about the special spiritual energy and his cultivation technique.
"You've accumulated enough energy?" The few of them smiled bitterly. Breaking through a cultivation realm at once was called accumulation, but breaking through nine cultivation realms at once … That was already an incredible feat, alright?
"Brother Su seems to be around seventeen or eighteen years old. May I know how long it took for you to possess such strength? Could it be that … you were born with innate intelligence and began cultivating as soon as you were born? "
Qian Qi continued asking.
Legend had it that the genius Lin Xuan from ten thousand years ago was able to speak the human language and cultivate as soon as he was born … Of course, these were just rumors spread by the younger generation. If it had been in the past, they wouldn't have believed them.
However, after witnessing Zhang Xuan's incredible cultivation at such a young age, they couldn't help but waver.
Not expecting Qian Qi to say such words, Su Yin shook his head and said, "Began cultivating as soon as I was born? How can there be such a genius in the world? I started cultivating late, and my aptitude is lacking … Before I was eighteen, I didn't even have the slightest bit of cultivation. In fact, I wasn't even at 1-dan Juxi realm! Putting aside all of you, even ordinary cultivators are no match for me. "
"???" The crowd was stunned.
What did that mean?
Before he was eighteen, he didn't have the slightest bit of cultivation …
"How old are you now?" Zhao Xun asked.
"Eighteen!" Su Yin nodded.
"…" The crowd was rendered speechless. "You mean to say that … it hasn't even been a year since you started cultivating to your current level?"
"Un …" Su Yin pondered for a moment before nodding. "It's been around three days!"
It was only on the fourth day after he left the forbidden grounds that he learned that he could gather spiritual energy to raise his cultivation … Counting the days, it had already been three days since he started cultivating!
Time really flew by!
Thinking about it now, the days when he was unable to raise his cultivation felt like an eternity ago.
"…"
Everyone's mouths were agape, but none of them wanted to say a word.
To raise his cultivation from zero to 2-dan Pseudo Immortal in just three days … You must be toying with us!
But … after witnessing the frightening speed of the other party's cultivation, it didn't seem like he was faking it …
In an instant, everyone felt as if their 'talent' had become fake, and they couldn't help but feel stifled.
…
While Su Yin was breaking through, Gu Ling'er finally saw that everything had been explained and walked out of the Elders Hall.
"Ling'er …"
She had only taken a few steps when Hall Master Fan hurriedly caught up with her. "Qian Qi and the others are unruly and have a soft spot for you. When I was sending them off, I could see that they were hostile to Su Tianya. Try to dissuade them later. Don't cause any trouble!"
"Un!" Gu Ling'er nodded. "I'll talk to them …"
She had already seen through the thoughts of Qian Qi and the others. She just didn't have any feelings for them.
"That's good. After dissuading them, bring them to the Sealing Hall. The Giant Demon Clan has lost five The Great Demon. They definitely won't let this matter rest. I heard that they have already begun to mobilize their troops and will attack at any time!"
Hall Master Fan said with a worried expression, "We have to speed up too."
"Yes …"
Gu Ling'er responded and hurriedly walked toward the cultivation room. At the same time, she was full of worry.
"I hope Qian Qi and the others aren't reckless …"
She knew Qian Qi's temper very well. He couldn't even hold back in the Elder Council, let alone in private. She was really afraid that there would be a conflict … However, this was also good. She could also test the young man's true cultivation and strength.
She would be able to gain a deeper understanding of him.
As such, she had given the young man the token to cultivate in the cultivation room as well.
After circling around a short wall, a series of cultivation rooms appeared before her. Gu Ling'er looked around and saw a few figures standing proudly at the front. The surrounding space was shaking slightly, as if spiritual energy had just swept through it. It also felt like the aftermath of a battle.
They were none other than Qian Qi, Yuan Hai, and the others!
At this moment, Su Tianya was surrounded by the four of them. He looked extremely weak and powerless.
"Damn it!"
Gu Ling'er narrowed her eyes. She didn't have the time to waste on words anymore. She rushed over and shouted, "Qian Qi, what are you waiting for? Stop!"
In the next moment, a sword appeared in her hand and slashed down.
Si la!
A tear immediately appeared in the space, revealing her cultivation … Seventh level Pseudo Immortal!
It was no wonder Qian Qi was fearful of her. Her strength was indeed worthy of being called the number one expert of the younger generation.
"Hmm?"
Before the sword qi could reach the crowd, Gu Ling'er's face twitched upon seeing the sight before her. She quickly retracted her sword qi, but due to her swift action, she nearly lost control and fell from the sky.
The ones who appeared before her weren't Qian Qi and the others bullying Su Tianya. Instead, they were obedient attendants looking at the young man with smiles on their faces. It felt as if they would kneel down at any moment.
"Gu Ling'er xiaojie …"
Upon seeing her, the crowd hurriedly took a few steps back, fearing that others would misunderstand and sever ties with her. "Are you looking for Brother Su? Then, we won't disturb you any longer … "
"…" Gu Ling'er was stunned.
Was there something wrong with her head?
An hour ago, they were filled with killing intent, as if wanting to chop the young man into mincemeat. How did they become like this in the blink of an eye?
She looked at the young man and hesitated for a moment before asking, "They … didn't bully you, right?"
Su Yin replied with a smile, "They didn't!"
Even though they weren't friendly at the start, they had become much friendlier after the bet. Not to mention, they had even provided him with so much Superior spiritual energy.
"Really? There's no need to fear their vengeance. As long as I'm here, they won't dare to do anything … "Gu Ling'er said.
"They really didn't!" Su Yin nodded.
"…"
Gu Ling'er looked at Qian Qi and the others doubtfully before turning to look at the smiling young man, and a deep frown appeared on her forehead.
Based on her understanding of Qian Qi and the others, it was impossible for them to give up so easily. It was just a moment ago that they were still so aggressive, so why would they suddenly cower like this?
"Forget it. Follow us to the Sealing Hall later on!"
Seeing that the other party was unwilling to admit to it, Gu Ling'er knew that she wouldn't be able to question him further, so she could only give up.
Su Yin was perplexed.
"There's an Immortal artifact left behind by an expert ten thousand years ago in the Sealing Hall. The reason why we gathered so many geniuses here is to see if anyone is able to tame it …"
Seeing that Zhang Xuan was unaware of the matter, Gu Ling'er explained, "Qian Qi and the others are also here for this matter …"
It was only then that Su Yin came to a realization. It was no wonder so many geniuses were gathered here at the same time.
A glint flashed across Zhang Xuan's eyes as he asked expectantly, "Can I give it a try as well?"
"Of course! As long as you're a human, you're qualified to fight against the Giant Demon. Given your talent, you're in no way inferior to the others. Even though your cultivation is slightly weaker now, given enough time, you'll surely grow stronger …"
However, before Gu Ling'er could finish her words, her lips suddenly twitched. She froze on the spot and muttered, "Your cultivation …"
Initially, she was worried that Qian Qi and the others would pummel the young man, so she didn't pay much attention to him. However, upon hearing the young man's cultivation being brought up, she immediately noticed that something was amiss.
The young man's aura was so powerful that it felt as if a celestial was floating in the air. It was clear that just like her, the young man's Zhen Yuan and vitality had undergone a massive transformation.
Wasn't he only at Eternal 2-dan?
How could he be at Pseudo Immortal 2-dan?
She extended her Spiritual Perception to assess the young man once more … There was no mistake, he was indeed at the Pseudo Immortal realm!
Gu Ling'er was dumbfounded.
Had it really been an hour since they last met? Had it really been more than a decade?
Noticing Gu Ling's shock, Su Yin explained with a smile, "Brother Qian, Brother Yuan, and the others provided me with the transcendent-tier spiritual energy earlier, so I managed to make a breakthrough in my cultivation …"
It was only a matter of time before she found out about this matter. Instead of hiding it, he might as well reveal it openly. In any case, Qian Qi and the others had already seen it, so there was no way he could hide it from them.
"You managed to make a breakthrough in your cultivation? You even made a breakthrough in your cultivation? Y-you managed to raise your cultivation by nine stages! "
Gu Ling'er was on the verge of going insane.
You must be joking!
Even though it was normal for a cultivator to make a huge leap in his cultivation after coming into contact with transcendent-tier spiritual energy back in the Great Yan Continent, it shouldn't have been possible for him to make such a huge leap in his cultivation!
The difference between Pseudo Immortal and Eternity was huge. No one would believe that Zhang Xuan had managed to make a breakthrough in his cultivation within such a short period of time.
Qian Qi and the others burst into laughter.
It seemed like Zhang Xuan wasn't any better than them … Forget it, it would be best not to tell her the truth. Otherwise, if she were to learn that the young man had managed to raise his cultivation to such a level in just half a minute, she might just go insane on the spot.
"Since we're heading to the Hall of Sealing, let's hurry up!"
Qian Qi shook his head as he took the lead. Yuan Hai and Zhao Xun quickly followed behind him.
"Benefactor Su, let's go as well!"
Li Yang didn't chase after them. Instead, he carefully walked up to Zhang Xuan with a look of reverence.
Seeing how Li Yang was actually greeting Zhang Xuan as a disciple and addressing him as' benefactor ', Gu Ling'er's body stiffened once more.
Li Yang was the weakest of the Four Great Prodigies, so how did he manage to raise his cultivation by four stages in just an hour, reaching 6-dan Pseudo Immortal?
Was it really that easy to make a breakthrough to the Pseudo Immortal realm?
More importantly, it was just a moment ago that Li Yang was filled with hostility, but at this very moment, he was behaving as humble as a disciple …
"What in the world happened?"
Gu Ling'er couldn't help but turn to look at the young man beside her.
"They have already left. Let's hurry up and catch up with them …"
Su Yin couldn't be bothered to explain himself. Instead, he leaped into the air and followed behind Qian Qi and the others. Seeing that Zhang Xuan wasn't going to say anything, Gu Ling'er could only follow along with her bewilderment.
To be honest, there was nothing wrong with this young man, but he was simply too humble, humble, and steady.
At times, it was truly infuriating.
"If there's a chance, I'll have to get him to show off once so that he won't be as mature as he is now …"
Shaking her head, many thoughts flashed across her mind.
Everyone was at the Pseudo Immortal realm, so they were able to move swiftly. It didn't take long for a massive hall to appear before them.
Naturally, this wasn't the real Hall of Sealing. Instead, it was a temporary resting spot for the Sealing Masters of Decimating Abyss City to fend off the demons. Even so, the spiritual energy in the air was still extremely rich. With just a look, it was clear that there was a transcendent spirit vein beneath it.
