Immortality from Taming Elephant-Chapter 468 - 219: Nine Layers of Sea, Old Grounds, Siege
The dim underground carried a sticky moisture that enveloped the surroundings, with multicolored lights flickering in and out within the deep cavern.
As the light waxed and waned, the silhouette of a young man sitting cross-legged could be seen in the center.
Xu Guang had his eyes tightly shut, with the five Celestial Gates in his Sea of Thoughts firmly closed, yet countless streams of Qi Force flowed within them, each surge adding to its weight, as if undergoing a transformation.
Divine Techniques impacted the Qi Force, while the Qi Force adapted to the Divine Techniques; this was key to the transformation of Divine Techniques, the first step to achieving Third Grade.
Gradually, a layer like living multicolored substance appeared within the already extraordinary Qi Force, flowing like gold within the Qi Force.
Xu Guang did not focus all his Heart Spirit on the change in Qi Force; after ensuring the seamless fusion between the Qi Force and the Divine Techniques following the Celestial Gates, five mysterious lights emerged from the Five Gates, penetrating heaven and earth, merging into the invisible Void Realm.
The changes in Qi Force and Divine Techniques relied on the Spirit Charm within the Void Realm.
This was Xu Guang’s first time moving beyond the shallow layers of the Void Realm, beginning his gradual exploration into its depths.
The base color of the Void Realm was not dark; on the contrary, due to the abundance of colors and their brilliance, it presented an extreme black.
With the aid of Divine Techniques, Xu Guang’s Divine Soul transformed, traversing the Void Realm, searching for the Spirit Charm to accelerate the transformation of Qi Force, beauty manifesting as Spiritual Essence Light Groups.
Suddenly, a bizarre wind blew, vaguely as if some living creature reached out to touch Xu Guang.
Xu Guang’s expression changed drastically; the wind surged like tides, within the Nine Layers of Sea in the Void Realm.
The Void Realm was not peaceful; neither the Spirit Charm nor Source Qi stood still, resembling tides in constant flux, swift and slow, with terrifying surges intensifying with depth, referred to as the Nine Layers of Sea by martial artists in the present world.
In seeking a breakthrough, Xu Guang ventured deeply into the Void Realm, finally encountering the First Layer of the Nine Layers of Sea.
Eerie laughter like that of a young girl accompanied the heavy surges of Spirit Charm, rapidly spreading in the Void Realm, within it strange elements mixed with the Spirit Charm.
He intended to retract his Divine Soul, but the Extreme Soul Power, glowing with gold, remained immobile in the First Layer of Sea.
He hesitated.
Then, a sense of delight arose.
At his current level, the means of acquiring the Celestial Register were numerous; his own had long been refined, with numerous exchanges from the Ten Thousand Laws Sect and Jiang Family, reinforcing his Extreme Soul before visiting Kunlun.
The current Extreme Soul Power provided about 3.5 times the attack strength, while making his Divine Soul increasingly compact, hinting at transformation, yet without clear comprehension due to limited studies in Divine Soul within present Martial Dao, predominantly focused on Divine Thought.
Unrestricted in the First Layer of Sea, Xu Guang quickly sought sufficiently large Spiritual Essence Light Groups within it.
He was like a seasoned farmer during harvest, frantically scouring the First Layer of Sea for essence. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
Gradually the time passed.
As he again picked up a Light Group, a pitch-black shadow suddenly emerged, darting towards his Divine Soul, resembling some kind of bizarre insect.
Extreme Soul Power shimmered, the Five Divine Techniques within the Void Realm swiftly responded, a thunderous crash accompanied the golden light’s emergence.
Yet the weird insect was seemingly unaffected, its sharp pincers tearing everything, charging straight at Xu Guang.
The bizarre black insect exploded, snatching away a cluster of mixed energies.
Xu Guang watched silently, his gaze somewhat grave.
The Void Realm was indeed too strange.
Feeling his Divine Soul nearing its limit, Xu Guang swiftly withdrew his Divine Soul Power, returning to the present world.
In the present world, Xu Guang opened his eyes.
Feeling his state.
A couple more entries into the Void Realm should suffice for a complete breakthrough.
Thinking this, he held his breath, focused his mind, while the Red Lotus Karmic Fire continued to devour, gradually dispersing the Void Ring enveloping him.
Time flew by swiftly; due to the Divine Soul being virtually unaffected in the First Layer of Sea, Xu Guang’s speed in breaking through to Third Grade far exceeded the norm.
Seven days later.
Xu Guang felt the changes within himself, his face placid.
The Four Divine Techniques successfully broke through the Fourth Grade barrier, subsequently leading to the transformation of Qi Force, attaining the Third Grade Celestial Sea, intertwining Qi Force and the flesh closely, akin to a common body, with the extension of Qi Force akin to the winding of a limb.
Though a Third Grade Martial Artist could still not achieve limb regeneration, involving deeper Martial Dao transformations, however, due to the near-perfect fusion of Qi Force and self, with Qi Force being an external extension, in such cases, limb severance barely impaired combat strength.
Celestial Sea cultivation had many subdivisions, though no universal standard existed, it typically measured strength by progression within the Nine Layers of Sea.
The pinnacle Third-Grade Strong Person could break through the Third Level of the Void Realm.
’Having now broken through to Third Grade, I wonder which layer of the Void Realm I can now explore...’ Xu Guang pondered internally.
A trace of reflection crossed Xu Guang’s face; staying in Fourth Grade for over two years, undergoing opportunities in martial Extraordinarily Promotion, advancing as a Qi Refiner to perceive and enter the Void Realm earlier.
Higher-grade breakthroughs grew increasingly arduous.
