Chapter 830 - 824: Third Rank Martial Saint
After the task in the Heavenly Fury Forest ended, Ye Xuan stayed at the Xuri Tavern, waiting for news from the Qi Ye Ancient Mansion.
After the confrontation with Lei Qianzhang, Ye Xuan’s cultivation also reached the peak of a Second Grade Martial Saint, just a step away from the Third Grade Martial Saint.
On top of a mountain peak, space surged continually, and strands of slightly mottled energy rapidly emerged from the heavens and the earth, immediately pouring into the body of the young man sitting cross-legged at the mountain’s edge. Facing this endless infusion, his body, like a bottomless pit, absorbed all the energy without overflowing.
It was Ye Xuan.
Using merit points to exchange for five Holy-grade Soul Stones from the Divine Domain treasure vault, Ye Xuan continued his cultivation here, awaiting news, further preparing to advance at this very place with the holy-grade pill he refined to enhance his cultivation.
Since refining the Holy-grade Soul Stones, Ye Xuan had maintained this state for nearly three days. During these three days, his figure remained motionless like a rock, with only the swirling energy vortex above his head emitting a low humming sound atop the mountain peak.
Inside Ye Xuan’s body, the mighty power of the Holy-grade Soul Stones, after being refined by the Earth Core Cold Flame, transformed into surging True Yuan, flowing like a tide through his meridians. Additionally, endless energy from the heavens and the earth continued to pour in, eventually getting refined into pure True Yuan by the Earth Core Cold Flame, merging into this vast force.
Although the energy from the heavens and the earth was abundant, the pure True Yuan left for Ye Xuan to absorb after layers of refining wasn’t much. But, better than nothing, as the saying goes, accumulations over time reach terrifying levels. Most cultivators accumulate True Yuan this way, while relying on pills and treasures to boost power is merely a shortcut, not for frequent use, lest it backfires.
This time, Ye Xuan’s cultivation lasted quite a while. The Holy-grade Soul Stone’s energy was completely refined as of a day ago, yet he didn’t stop. Instead, he continued cultivating because he vaguely felt that the Holy-grade Soul Stone’s energy alone couldn’t elevate his level. Pursuing perfection, he naturally wanted to seize this opportunity to maximize his power upgrade.
With this mindset, nearly four more days elapsed. Within those four days, Ye Xuan devoted all his spirit to absorbing the energy from the heavens and the earth. With persistent absorption, the True Yuan flowing through his meridians gradually became abundant and mighty. Each cycle brought almost endless strength to his body, giving him an urge to howl towards the sky.
