As the pill's energy dissolved and Spirit Energy flowed, the forty-seventh aperture was gradually filled.
On the second night after leaving Ying Mountain, Lu Ye met the requirements to break through to the Fourth Order.
However, to break through to the Fourth Order, he had to first change his Secret Art.
Because he often switched between the Gluttonous Feast and the Golden Cicada Carefree Art, this wasn't difficult for him. Under Lu Ye's control, the Spirit Energy rapidly flowing in his body calmed down, and the connection between the various Spirit Apertures was broken.
Following the Red Lotus Soaring the Heavens route, he urged his Spirit Energy to flow from his Source Spirit Aperture through the first Spirit Aperture, then the second, all the way to the ninth.
Perhaps because it was the first time he had used the Red Lotus Soaring to the Heavens, this small cycle of circulation was very slow. Lu Ye maintained it calmly, and the spiritual energy that flowed like a stream in his nine great spiritual cavities grew faster and faster, before finally starting to circulate on its own.
The first Minor Heavenly Cycle was completed.
He then urged the tenth Spirit Aperture and poured the Spirit Energy into the eleventh to eighteenth apertures, repeating the same process.
A moment later, the second Minor Heavenly Cycle was completed.
A moment later, the third Minor Heavenly Cycle was completed.
Next was the fourth Minor Heavenly Cycle. However, the difference between the Third Order Spirit Stream Realm and the Fourth Order Spirit Aperture was a huge improvement, because the fourth Minor Heavenly Cycle included as many as eighteen Spirit Apertures.
Because it was his first time using the Minor Heavenly Cycle that included eighteen Spirit Apertures, Lu Ye was a bit more cautious.
After about half a cup of tea's time, his body shook slightly, and a wave of Qi swept out in all directions, pressing down on the nearby bonfire.
Fourth Order Spirit Stream Realm!
Lu Ye was delighted, silently experiencing the changes in his body.
Compared to the Third Order Spirit Stream Realm, the Fourth Order Spirit Stream Realm's growth was indeed huge. The benefits brought by the eighteen Spirit Apertures were more than twice that of the previous Origin Stream Realm. Now, the amount of Spirit Energy he could use in an instant was nearly fifty percent more than before, so the strength he could display was naturally stronger.
Moreover, the Red Lotus Soaring the Heavens had many advantages compared to the Golden Cicada Carefree Art.
One was an Earth Grade Secret Art, while the other was a Yellow Grade Secret Art. Naturally, the benefits they brought to cultivators were different.
The most obvious change was the speed of the Spirit Energy in his body. There was a huge difference between the Yellow Grade Secret Arts and Earth Grade Secret Arts. The latter was at least twenty percent faster than the former!
This kind of change would also increase the cultivator's strength.
He stood up, drew out his long saber, and poured his spiritual power into it. In an instant, the surface of the saber turned red, as if there was a layer of burning flames attached to it. If such a sharp weapon was supplemented with Sharpness Spiritual Tattoos, its lethality would be explosive.
Lu Ye raised his eyebrows and casually waved his saber. Under the night sky, the saber danced like a fiery dragon.
He swung his saber, and a short sound of something breaking through the air was heard.
After breaking through to the Fourth-Order, the increase in Yang Kai's strength was indeed not small, much greater than any of his previous breakthroughs. No wonder people said that the Fourth and Seventh Order was a watershed.
If he had this kind of cultivation when he fought against Senior Brother Zhou of Serene Cloud Mountain, he was confident that he could kill him at a very small price.
Withdrawing his Spirit Energy and sheathing his saber, Lu Ye sat down again and took out the Red Lotus Soaring to the Heavens Secret Art to study. This Earth Grade Secret Art came with several Spirit Techniques. Lu Ye had seen them before, but the requirements to cultivate them were a bit high. The lowest Spirit Technique required a Fourth-Order cultivation base. Lu Ye couldn't cultivate them before, but now he was qualified.
To be honest, when he fought with Luo Ji before, he was quite envious of his opponent's ability to use Spirit Techniques. When low-level cultivators fought, the side with Spirit Techniques often had an advantage.
On the other hand, Lu Ye could only face the Spirit Techniques head-on. If it weren't for his Spirit Tattoos, he would have been killed by Luo Ji.
In the past, he had some Spirit Talismans to make up for the lack of means to fight, but Lu Ye only had a few Spirit Talismans left. The offensive ones had been used up long ago. If he could master a Spirit Technique, he wouldn't dare say how much his strength would increase, but at least he would have one more way to deal with the enemy.
However, he wasn't in a hurry to investigate this Spirit Technique. He hadn't come into contact with these things before, so he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to see anything at the moment. It wouldn't be too late to slowly study it when he had time.
At the moment, he was just exploring the Spirit Apertures needed to be opened for the Fifth-Order.
If he wanted to cultivate to the Fifth-Order, he would need to open at least sixty-three Spirit Apertures, which was eighteen more than the Fourth-Order.
However, because Lu Ye had opened two more Spirit Apertures before, which were included in the Fifth-Order Cultivation Path, he only needed to open sixteen more Spirit Apertures to reach the Fifth-Order.
With his current cultivation speed, as long as he had enough energy and wasn't disturbed, he estimated that it would only take him a month or so.
Thinking back to when he was thrown into the Spirit Stream Battlefield by the Sect Master, he was just a little cultivator with three Spirit Apertures opened. When he entered this place, he was confused and felt as if he was walking on thin ice. A pack of wolves could even trap him on a tree.
Time flew by, and four months had passed.
Although his cultivation wasn't high, he had already passed the initial hardships. Moreover, his experiences in the past few months could be said to be rich and colorful. He participated in the war between two Sects, was hunted down by Masters whose cultivation far exceeded his own, fought with disciples from top forces who cultivated Heaven Grade Secret Arts, and even fought with many people whose strength exceeded his own …
Thinking of this, Lu Ye felt that these four months had been really rough and couldn't help but shed bitter tears for himself.
But in the end, it was all in the past. In the past, his cultivation was low, so there was nothing he could do about it. But now, he was a Fourth-Order cultivator. He didn't dare to say that he could walk unhindered in the Outer Ring, but at least his ability to protect himself had greatly increased. In the Outer Ring, there were many cultivators whose cultivation was lower than his, so he was no longer at the bottom. Now, he was qualified to stand at the top and look down on others.
Circulating his Spirit Qi, he looked down at his Battlefield Brand.
The information recorded was as simple as ever.
Name: Lu Ye
Identity: Blue Blood Sect Disciple
Cultivation: Forty-seven Apertures Opened
Location: Spirit Stream Battlefield
Merit Points: One hundred and seventy-four
When he left the Heaven Splitting Gorge, he remembered that his merit points were one hundred and forty-two, but after killing the five people from Nether Cloud Mountain, he gained thirty-two merit points. Using his own method to calculate, he found that the numbers matched.
It seemed that if he wanted to get more merit points, he would have to kill enemies above his realm.
Lu Ye had a faint feeling that his merit points would be of great use in the future!
When it was time to practice his saber, Lu Ye took off his shirt, revealing his strong upper body. The crisscrossing scars were shocking to the eye. Although these injuries had healed, the scars remained. Hua Ci still didn't have the ability to completely remove them.
Saber after saber, Lu Ye's expression was meticulous as he hacked. Two hours later, he put away his saber, sweating profusely. Walking to the side, he took out a water bag to wash his body before returning to the campfire to meditate. Now that he was a Fourth-Order cultivator, he had to figure out how efficient his cultivation was and how many Spirit Pills he needed to open each Aperture.
