Chapter 94 – Accomplishing a Small Goal (Fourth Shift Requesting Subscriptions)

“So hard!”

Chen Fan sighed in his heart as he sensed the arcane mysteries of the Laws that had been imprinted into his dantian.

He had been cultivating in the Demon Wood Forest for two and a half years at this point.

After such a long time, it was only this one time that he had a flash of insight into the Water Mist Technique that he had been cultivating for many days.

“I once wished for half a year to enhance my enlightenment, in this case, the speed of my comprehension of the Laws Arcane Mysteries might already be about the same as Lv Ziying’s.”

Chen Fan muttered to himself in his heart.

This epiphany of the Frost Mist Dragon Art was a great surprise to him.

This was because in the Tian Yuan Immortal Cultivation Realm, the techniques cultivated by Immortal Cultivators were only used as a means to elevate one’s realm.

When the realm was raised, the Immortal Cultivator’s mana, too, would grow along with it.

Among them, different spiritual root qualifications, spiritual root attributes, and different Immortal Cultivation Techniques would all have an impact on how thick the Immortal Cultivator’s mana was.

In addition to this, there were two other ways for Immortal Cultivators to increase their Mana.

One way was to look for some kind of heavenly material or treasure, or a panacea to swallow.

The other way was to cultivate as many spells as possible.

The more spells an Immortal cultivator cultivates, the deeper they refine their spells, and the more law arcana they imprint on the inner wall of their dantian, the more their mana will follow.

Chen Fan’s epiphany of the Frost Mist Dragon Art this time had expanded his dantian a little bit, allowing him to refine a little more mana than other Immortal cultivators.

“Senior Sister Lu made a breakthrough?”

When Chen Fan finished his cultivation and returned towards his residence, he saw Lv Ziying with a smile on her face, walking towards the place where she often practiced her spells.

“Finally, a breakthrough.”

Lv Ziying spoke with emotion.

She actually should have broken through a long time ago, only being affected by the Foundation Establishment Mound Domain had delayed her breakthrough.

Fortunately, the latest news about the Foundation Building Mound Domain had given her a pill of peace of mind, allowing her to regain her old state of mind.

With her Spiritual Root Qualification, as long as she didn’t pull across, in just three years, she would be able to break through to the seventh level of Qi Practicing.

It wouldn’t be too late for her to head to the Foundation Mound Domain after her breakthrough.

Moreover, she would be able to be a bit safer by then as her strength grew.

“Congratulations senior sister!”

Chen Fan smiled and congratulated.

Afterward, he said a few more words to Lu Ziying and left.

“Rumble!”

Another three months later, a flying boat flew in from the distance and landed on the main peak of Cangwu Mountain.

Subsequently, a piece of news spread out.

In just three months, many of the disciples from the various sects that had entered the Foundation Establishment Mound Domain, had raised their realms.

But at the same time, there were also quite a few, who perished there.

It was even possible that the next time the Foundation Building Mound Domain opened, its would crawl out of one of the tombs and become an evil spirit in the eyes of the people.

“Senior Sister Ruan you’re back?”

Then not long after, Chen Fan received a message from Ruan Wenzhuan.

She gave Chen Fan a lot of information about the Foundation Building Mound Domain.

At the same time, she also stated why she had returned early.

During one of her encounters with the ancient corpses of the Foundation Building Mound Domain, she was sneak attacked by one of the disciples of the Dharma Underworld Sect in the Seven Sects of the Heavenly North and accidentally fell victim to a severe poison.

This kind of poison was extremely difficult to pull out, and it might take her two to three years to recover.

If it wasn’t for the lucky passage of a Dan Yun Sect disciple at that time, she might even have to stay in the Foundation Mound Domain.

Chen Fan sighed.

Ruan Wenzhu was extremely well liked in the Demon Wood Forest back then, but he did not expect her to encounter such a thing just three months after she arrived at the Foundation Mound Domain.

“It seems that I must be careful if I travel to the Foundation Mound Domain in the future!”

Chen Fan was secretly on guard.

If there was no Heaven and Earth Evil Tide, he would definitely choose to cultivate peacefully in the sect.

But with the threat of the Heaven and Earth Evil Tide, any peace and stability was false.

Only by improving his own strength could he truly feel safe.

“I make a wish that my spirit root will be able to be maximized and permanently upgraded.”

Chen Fan continued to make his small daily wish as he practiced.

Accompanied by the passage of time day by day, it was now getting closer and closer to the one year period he had predicted.

He estimated that it shouldn’t take long for his Spiritual Root Qualification, to advance.

“This is …… some sort of ancient blood law ……”

However, before Chen Fan’s Spiritual Root Quality could be promoted, on this day when he was practicing the True Blood Foundation Building Technique, his divine sense swept over the threads of golden blood that emerged from the Stone of True Blood, and a trace of enlightenment suddenly arose in his heart.

It was as if he had seen the essence of the Laws of Blood.

It was a powerful and ancient force, the rhythm of life and the source of power.

“It turns out that the strengthening of the physical body is not just an increase in power, but also an understanding and realization of the essence of life.”

Chen Fan instantly realized.

At this moment, his heart was like being gently struck by the morning bell and the twilight drum, and every heartbeat seemed to resonate with the golden blood flowing out of the Stone of True Blood.

At the same time, his body began to undergo a metamorphosis.

In just a short period of time, his flesh and blood became firmer and more powerful, and his bones also seemed to have gone through a thousand hammers, becoming even stronger.

However, the main thing was that the blood flowing through his body was also tainted with a hint of gold, as if it was transforming into golden blood.

“Seventh level of Body Refinement!”

Chen Fan sat cross-legged on the futon, quietly comprehending this change.

There were two methods of cultivation for Body Cultivation.

One was to refine all kinds of resources to strengthen oneself.

For example, he used blood crystals to cultivate.

The other was to sense enlightenment.

Physical cultivation wasn’t completely reckless.

For example, this time he had sensed the ancient Law of Blood, which not only allowed him to advance to the seventh level of Body Refinement, but also allowed him to have a deeper understanding of the powerful qi and blood contained in his body.

This knowledge would allow him to emit a stronger power when mobilizing his own qi and blood.

“Whew!”

Chen Fan exhaled a breath.

This breath emanated from his lungs and swept out like a gale, directly pushing the door of his tree house open.

He stood up and walked outside the tree house, moving his muscles and bones, only to feel that his entire body was relaxed, as if he had inexhaustible strength. “I didn’t expect that my Spiritual Root Qualification hadn’t been raised yet, but I advanced to the seventh level of Body Refinement first.”

Chen Fan secretly lamented.

Originally, he thought that he might need another two to three months before he could make a breakthrough by refining the blood crystals and by using the power of the Stone of True Blood.

However, he did not expect that this time, with an epiphany, the bottleneck at the seventh level of Body Refinement was directly broken by him.

“I make a wish ……”

Ten days later, Chen Fan made his daily wish as usual.

Only suddenly, right after he finished this wish, he felt that his sense of the aura of heaven and earth, as well as his sense of the various law arcana in heaven and earth, had instantly grown by a hair’s breadth.

“Medium grade five stars!”

A glint appeared in Chen Fan’s eyes.

At this point, it had been three years since he had arrived at the Demon Wood Forest.

After such a long time of wishing, he had finally raised his Spiritual Root Qualification from lower grade five stars, to middle grade five stars.

With such a spiritual root qualification, it was already only weaker than the two upper-grade spiritual roots in the sect.

With just one more step, he would be able to match those two.

At that time, if he wanted to advance to the Foundation Establishment Stage, it would be a breeze.

“A small goal accomplished, the next step is the big goal of upper grade spiritual roots.”

“In addition, with a mid-grade five-star spiritual root, paired with many spirit medicines, I should be able to advance to the seventh level of Qi cultivation in less than two years.”

Chen Fan stood up with a long body.

As usual, he went to the depths of the Demon Wood Forest and practiced his spells.

However, just as soon as he practiced, he sensed a difference.

Because of the improvement in his spiritual root qualification, when he was comprehending the spells, he clearly felt that he was progressing at a rate that exceeded his previous rate.

It was as if he had installed an additional receiver, to his brain.

As soon as he flipped the switch, all sorts of heaven and earth law arcana began to pour towards him.

“Perhaps, I can choose some more spells.”

Chen Fan’s heart moved slightly.

In these few years, he had bought a few spells besides the beginning.

Later on, he hadn’t bought any other spells.

But now, with the quality of his spiritual roots at this point in time, as well as his own basic enlightenment, he was already able to buy a few more spells to prepare for his future trip to the Foundation Establishment Mound Domain.

Moreover, practicing more spells and refining them more deeply would also make his mana more dense.

“Ice Spear Art!”

“Gravity Spell!”

“Golden Light Jutsu!”

“Jutsu Prison Technique!”

“Meteor Fire Rain Jutsu!”

“And, the Cangwu Five Elements Sword Formation!”

Chen Fan then went through his disciple token and chose five spells in one breath that were obviously much stronger than the spells he had previously comprehended.

Finally, after thinking about it, he also redeemed the Cangwu Five Elements Sword Formation, as well.

Rumor had it that Immortal Cultivators with five elemental spiritual roots, if their mana was thick enough and their divine sense could withstand the pressure at the same time, it was possible to set up the Cangwu Five Elemental Sword Formation all by themselves.

And if one can really set up this sword formation, a cultivator in the Qi Practicing Stage can easily do so by crossing over the levels.

Although he certainly didn’t fulfill such a condition now, it didn’t mean that he couldn’t work towards it.

“Whoosh!”

A month later, at Cangwu Mountain, a flash of sword light transformed into a figure that landed in front of the Cangwu Mountain Sect Master Hall.

“Success?”

A rare smile appeared on Xu Zhouji’s face as he looked towards the visitor.

“It’s done.”

Xu Shida’s face wore a color of triumph.

“No regrets?”

Xu Zhouji asked.

“No regrets!”

Xu Shida said after a moment of silence.

After he brought Chen Fan to Cangwu Mountain three years ago, he went to a secret place, seeking to build his foundation.

A year ago, just as he was having an epiphany, Xu Zhouji informed him that the Foundation Building Mound Domain had opened.

The Foundation Building Mound Domain did more than just allow Immortal Cultivators to quickly raise their cultivation levels.

It was also able to allow Immortal cultivators to forge a stronger foundation when refining and comprehending a large number of Law Fragments.

However, after receiving the news, Xu Shida did not go to the Foundation Building Mound Domain, but instead chose to continue his seclusion in that secret place.

“Just don’t regret it.”

A hint of a smile appeared on Xu Zhouji’s face.

The Foundation Mound Domain was not a good place.

In this year, it was unknown how many Qi Refining Stage Immortal Cultivators in the south and north of the sky had become white bones.

It was their Cangwu Sect disciples, there were dozens of them, who could no longer return.

“Hey, by the way, that Chen Fan that I brought back before, didn’t go to the Foundation Building Mound Domain, did he?” Xu Shida seemed to have thought of something and even opened his mouth to ask.

“Didn’t go, still in the Demon Wood Forest.”

Xu Zhouji opened his mouth.

“What about his spiritual root, has it improved in the past few years?” Xu Shida asked curiously.

“It hasn’t been tested.”

Xu Shida shook his head, “It’s just a guess based on his cultivation speed that the quality of his spiritual root might have reached the middle three stars.”

“Of course, according to what you said before, a growing spiritual root possesses a great deal of instability when it is not fully grown, so it’s not easy to say exactly.”

“You’re not doing a qualified job as a Sect Leader either!”

Xu Shida’s eyebrows lifted, dissatisfied that his curiosity was not satisfied, “Although Chen Fan was brought by me, you can’t show favoritism.”

“Growing Spiritual Roots have a growth limit, I told you guys about this, right?”

“What if Chen Fan’s growth type spirit root has already grown to its limit?”

“And you guys are still giving him treatment equivalent to that of a top-grade spirit root genius?”

“Alright, since you guys didn’t test it, I’ll go and run it for you.”
