Cultivation by Trial and Error-Chapter 913 - 904: Breakthrough

Black Water Immortal Mountain, near the entrance at the foot of the mountain.

Since leaving that valley, without any delay, Chen Hai went straight to this place.

"Sir, just now..."

Holding a broom, Wan Zhongshan, who had been staying in this area, brightened at the sight of Chen Hai returning and hurriedly approached him.

His intention was naturally to inform Chen Hai of Shi Qingying’s visit.

After all, such a beautiful young lady had actively sought him out. Regardless of whether she truly was a Dao companion with Chen Hai, Wan Zhongshan felt it necessary for Chen Hai to be aware of her arrival.

"The world may be vast, but it pales in comparison to the importance of my secluded meditation breakthrough."

"Zhongshan, no matter what you want to tell me, wait until I finish my training before you speak!"

"If your request is easy to solve, you can go directly to the mountain and find Fangxian and Daniu. There’s no need to report it to me."

Wan Zhongshan had just barely begun speaking when Chen Hai forcibly interrupted him.

Stunned, he stood there for a moment, and when he looked towards the mountain entrance again, Chen Hai was already nowhere to be seen.

"Miss, I’m sorry!"

"It’s not that I don’t want to help you inform Lord Chen Hai of your arrival at Black Water Immortal Mountain; it’s just that I wasn’t given the chance to speak here."

Sighing, Wan Zhongshan smiled bitterly.

He straightened his posture and glanced in the direction of Black Water Immortal City not far away.

Unless something unexpected happened, the lady and her companions who visited earlier should still be staying at an inn in the city.

After hesitating briefly, he ultimately did not leave his post or go to Black Water Immortal City to inform the lady.

After all, he was merely a sweeping man at the foot of the mountain, and having only met the lady, they were strangers.

Willing to help her by notifying her was simply his goodwill as Wan Zhongshan.

Just because she was pretty, running to her with diligence seemed unnecessary to Wan Zhongshan.

...

At the peak of Black Water Immortal Mountain, within the Cultivation Hall.

Upon returning, Chen Hai promptly sat cross-legged on the meditation cushion in the center of the hall without saying a word.

Already on the brink of breakthrough, he quickly immersed himself in cultivation.

Whether it be the Seven Emotions or Six Desires, each emotion and desire was a law unto itself, capable of evolving into a supreme divine skill unique to Chen Hai.

Upon first entering the Daluo Golden Immortal realm, the divine skills he condensed from the Six Desires were extraordinarily potent, showing immense potential.

With the terrifying power of these divine skills, few could match him within the same realm.

As he approached the end of the Daluo Golden Immortal realm and truly stepped into the Daluo Perfection realm, the divine skills formed by the Six Desires Law had already evolved anew.

For example, when fighting against Qingmu and others in the Mirror Moon Space, every punch he threw carried countless laws around it.

His fists didn’t even need to land on opponents; the Six Desires Law accompanying his blows were enough to exert tremendous influence on them.

Perhaps due to the simplicity of the Great Path, the stronger one became, and the higher the realm, the less useful flashy divine skills seemed.

Like those Chaos Demon Gods, their attacks were straightforward and direct; yet in their hands, even the simplest kicks and punches could unleash the most terrifying power.

On the day within Emperor Pan Palace, when Emperor Pan Ancestor spoke of the Chaos Demon Gods, Chen Hai had a vague epiphany.

Facing the simulated Qingmu, he had instantly defeated it with a single punch, precisely because he applied the insight connected to the Chaos Demon Gods to his strikes.

At that time, what he understood of the Six Desires Law already showed signs of merging into one.

Now, he had just begun meditation, entering into the cultivation.

Greed, Gluttony, Reproduction...

Laws related to the Six Desires encircled him, merging smoothly without even needing a fusion phase.

...

Time quietly passed, and though Lady Yuji, one of the Demon Palace’s palace masters, and her disciples came and went, it did not stir even the slightest ripple within the West Barbarian Mountain territory.

On the contrary, the Pan Spider Clan noticeably reduced in number after Lady Yuji’s group departed.

The Eight-Armed Pan Spiders with Daluo realm strength ceased to appear within the West Barbarian Mountain territory.

Initially being overwhelmed by the daunting number of the Pan Spider Clan, the island’s forces could only linger within a few thousand miles around Black Water Immortal Mountain.

With the Pan Spider Clan’s reduction, the forces led by the many Golden Immortals of the Black Water Lineage began expanding their victories continuously.

In less than a year, the entire West Barbarian Mountain territory had returned to the control of various human forces.

Within the territory, the scattered Eight-Armed Pan Spiders that remained were no longer a threat, posing little hindrance.

When peace was fully restored throughout West Barbarian Mountain, Chen Hai, who was meditating in the Cultivation Hall, finally slowly opened his eyes.

What kind of gaze was that? One might struggle to find an apt word to describe it.

It wasn’t lofty or condescending.

Nor was it devoid of joy or sorrow, as the deep eyes seemed to contain the sun, moon, and stars within them.

Chen Hai’s gaze seemed to amalgamate all the myriad emotions and desires of the human world.

To anyone of lesser strength facing him, he need do nothing more than glance at them, yet that alone could plunge them into eternal entrapment by desire, turning them into mere living corpses.

Perhaps having reached a limit in the Daluo Golden Immortal realm, Chen Hai, now just half a step away, spent only a bit over a year in secluded training before progressing further, successfully stepping into the Quasi-Saint realm.

Those who achieved the Quasi-Saint status through the Three Corpses Cutting Method needed an Innate Spiritual Treasure as their anchoring point to successfully sever the Three Corpses.

Chen Hai, on the other hand, cultivated the Six Desires Hongmeng Heavenly Skill he created independently. As long as he comprehended enough and his spiritual energy accumulated sufficiently, achieving Quasi-Saint status was a natural progression, without reliance on any external artifacts.

"Is this the power of a Quasi-Saint?"

"I feel that with a punch, I can directly annihilate Li Xuanfeng."

"Previously, I was defeated by him in the Mirror Moon Space, which caused quite some frustration for me."

"Now that I have successfully broken through into the Quasi-Saint realm, it’s time for me to reclaim my honor..."

Stretching and feeling his current power, Chen Hai, brimming with confidence, murmured to himself.

As he spoke, he flipped his hand, revealing the Mirror Moon Divine Stone in his grasp.

With a thought, in the next moment, he vanished from the Cultivation Hall.
