Cultivation Starts from Farming-Chapter 827 - 373: Ten Thousand Woods Evergreen Scripture Mastered (2)
The terrifying spiritual pressure filling the chamber finally rose to a certain critical point.
At that instant, Xu Ping’s tightly shut eyes suddenly opened.
Buzz!
Two beams of condensed emerald light shot out from his eyes.
Wherever the light touched, the weighty, mountain-like spiritual pressure in the chamber seemed to be fiercely torn apart by an invisible giant hand.
Within a few breaths, the spiritual pressure vanished, and the chamber returned to "calmness."
"Ten Thousand Woods Evergreen Scripture... Achieved Great Success!"
A pleasant smile gradually crept onto Xu Ping’s face.
After so many years of hard work, this miraculous technique was finally cultivated to the level of Great Success, just one step away from Perfection Level.
A thought stirred his mind, and a panel appeared.
[Longevity: 331 / 3781 years]
[Realm: Early-stage Nascent Soul: 90 / 100]
[Cultivation Technique: Ten Thousand Woods Evergreen Scripture (Nascent Soul Chapter) Great Success: 1/1600]
...
"Longevity increased by one hundred twenty years."
Looking at the panel display, the smile at Xu Ping’s lips grew even more brilliant.
Previously, maturing the Dragon Blood Fruit consumed a hundred years of longevity, now it was completely replenished.
Besides the increase in longevity, the cultivation speed and mana transformation were also significantly enhanced.
Xu Ping inwardly examined himself; the Nascent Soul sitting cross-legged was surrounded by more condensed and pure emerald light, generating a torrent of mana with each motion.
Breaking through to Great Success represented a minor metamorphosis for Xu Ping.
Xu Ping’s gaze shifted downward, settling on his realm: "The realm also reached 90 points; now I’ve reached the peak of Early-stage Nascent Soul."
At this level, theoretically, he could attempt to breakthrough the bottleneck to mid-stage Nascent Soul.
For ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators, this bottleneck is as impassable as a natural barrier.
They either seek formidable spiritual medicine to force their way through or rely on extraordinary enlightenment and willpower for a forceful breakthrough.
But all are accompanied by great risks and uncertainties.
But with Xu Ping’s mastery panel, he can take it slowly and steadily grind up.
There is no need for him to risk his life, unlike other cultivators, to break through bottlenecks.
This is also his greatest asset to remain composed in the brutal cultivation realm.
...
Several months have passed.
On this day, the Ancient Demon Hall officially emerged in a forbidden zone of the outer sea.
Merely entering the Ancient Demon Hall safely is already quite a challenge for the cultivators.
However, the peril that can deter ordinary cultivators doesn’t hinder the frenzy of the outer sea’s Nascent Soul veterans and Golden Core cultivators at all.
After all, the opportunities and fortunes concealed within the Ancient Demon Hall are far too alluring.
Outside the Blood Bone Hall, the fierce wind howled.
Xu Ping stood quietly before the hall’s gate, watching Duan Shuang’s snowy white figure gradually disappearing into the horizon.
He gazed in the direction Duan Shuang vanished, remaining silent for a moment.
The scenery on the path of cultivation is beautiful, but the further one ascends, the fewer companions there are.
One may fall victim to a celestial tribulation, perish in a struggle, or die trapped by a bottleneck...
Duan Shuang’s departure carries significant danger, and he can only hope she returns safely.
"The Ancient Demon Hall will be open for a few months, or as long as more than a year... let’s wait patiently."
Xu Ping withdrew his gaze and stepped into the hall.
With disturbances far removed, the lake of his mind returned to tranquility.
With the opening of the Ancient Demon Hall, the popularity in various markets across the outer sea sharply declined a tier.
A more noticeable change was the prices of life-saving objects prepared for exploration; they began to plummet as if after a surge.
Regarding this change, Xu Ping had long anticipated it and didn’t care much.
After all, he has been making a fortune selling talismans over the years.
...
Half a year later, deep within the Ancient Ghost Hall.
The place is filled with bone-eroding cold wind, and numerous pallid stalactites depend from the ceiling like giant beast fangs.
At the center of the hall, a black jade lotus pond, the turbid waters tumultuous.
A peculiar flower, entirely translucent with colorful radiance flowing from its stamen, drifted uncertainly amidst the turbid waves.
It was the Yun Shen Flower.
This flower is a rare spiritual object that helps cultivators to overcome the Nascent Soul Heart Demon Tribulation.
Even Nascent Soul veterans would be tempted upon seeing it, let alone those Golden Core cultivators, ranging from late-stage to great perfection.
Boom!
The oppressive atmosphere erupted instantly.
A dozen strong spiritual pressures clashed violently, rays of magical treasures and fierce spells... surged like a flood toward the black jade lotus pond.
Screams, angry shouts, and the explosive sounds of magical treasures clashing filled the hall.
Amongst the crowd, a chilling figure like frost stood remarkably prominent.
Duan Shuang was enveloped in a faint blue crystalline shield, as spells impacted upon it, it only created rippling waves.
She didn’t recklessly charge into the center of the melee but calmly manipulated two massive puppets.
These quasi-fourth rank puppets, one attacking and one defending, worked seamlessly to protect Duan Shuang in the center.
She herself, like a butterfly flitting among flowers, deftly dodged several lethal attacks under the puppet’s protection.
Duan Shuang raised her delicate hand, a frigid "Profound Ice Chain" extended like a snake in pursuit, precisely wrapping around the Yun Shen Flower.
"You wench, don’t even think about it!"
A Golden Core perfectionist cultivator with fiery red hair and a thick beard was glaring with rage.
He summoned a colossal axe burning with blazing flames, cleaving aside the shield of a Heavy Gold puppet and aiming directly for Duan Shuang’s head.
Duan Shuang’s gaze turned sharp, just as she intended to mobilize the Shadow Kill puppet for interception, an anomaly suddenly occurred.
"Hmph, a bunch of ants, thinking themselves worthy to touch such spiritual objects?"
Before the voice faded, a colossal hand covered in green scales unexpectedly emerged from the void above Duan Shuang’s head.
Its five fingers spread wide, the palm inscribed with symbols radiating terrifying power to crush all, pressed down upon Duan Shuang’s celestial spirit.
Nascent Soul cultivator.
And a premeditated ambush.
The power of Nascent Soul far exceeded Golden Core, causing Duan Shuang’s breath to involuntarily hitch.
