Chapter 174: Land Cleaving Second Layer Heaven
Zhou Heng had emptied the mud and stones from the Nine Mystic Trial Tower, ascended to the third floor, and began to refine the Spirit Core. Meanwhile, Orchid Concubine and Xiao Huoshui continued to clean up the once again chaotic interior space of the tower. Although neither woman was particularly obsessive about cleanliness, the sight of the muddy mess was truly uncomfortable to behold.
The two women were busily engaged, while Zhou Heng sat cross-legged on the third floor, refining the Spirit Core.
Like Spirit Stones and Spiritual Energy, the simplest method to absorb a Spirit Core was through the pores of the skin, although this was also the slowest method and not as quick as direct ingestion.
Those in the Spirit Gathering Realm were not qualified to directly ingest Spirit Stones, as the vast Spiritual Energy could burst a person from within. Only upon reaching the Initial Separation Realm and having initially opened up the Dantian World, did one earn such a privilege.
Although the Spirit Core was the most essential and most refined part of a Spirit Stone, it wasn’t very hard. It could be easily crushed and then swallowed. Upon ingestion, a cool sensation immediately surged down through the throat to the stomach and disintegrated into billions of energy-rich and easily absorbable particles.
Zhou Heng circulated the Moonshadow Heart Jue, desperately absorbing these particles, each one providing him with a substantial accumulation of Spiritual Power and advancing his cultivation level.
Land Cleaving First Layer Heaven, Medium Period, Late Period, Peak!
After two full days and nights, Zhou Heng’s accumulation of power had reached the pinnacle of his current realm. Even if there was excess power, he could no longer continue to absorb it; to do so would be a waste and could even cause his body to burst!
He was ready to make a breakthrough to the Land Cleaving Second Layer Heaven!
