414: The difficulties of spiritual practice!

Three months later!

You successfully rendezvoused with the Sword Pavilion members, bringing Lingxi along.

When you saw with your own eyes that everyone was safe and sound, you immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Zi You told you that Ye Wushuang had already cleared out all the Eerie Creatures in the vicinity, so there was no need to worry about the threat of Eerie Creatures for the time being.

You nodded. This place was very far from the Star Radiance Mountain Range, and the Eerie Immortal Dynasty would never be able to find you.

After returning to the Sword Pavilion newly established by Zhuge Qing, you took Lingxi to find Feng Xi.

You asked Feng Xi if there was any way to Awaken Lingxi's Immortal Eyes.

"There isn't a great method. Most of it relies on her Awakening it herself!"

"The place that could help her Awaken is not even in the Vast Immortal Domain!"

Feng Xi told you that within the Immortal Phoenix Clan in the Weiyang Immortal Domain, there is an Immortal Phoenix Pool, which contains the Bloodline Power of ancient Immortal Phoenix sages and can help Awaken the Immortal Eyes.

"Going to the Weiyang Immortal Domain is unrealistic. Is there really no other special method?"

Unwilling to give up, you continued to question Feng Xi.

If you hadn't understood the situation regarding Lingxi's Immortal Eyes, it wouldn't have mattered, but ever since you learned about the hidden abilities behind the Immortal Eyes, you knew you had to open this path for Lingxi.

Hearing this, Feng Xi frowned slightly.

Suddenly, Feng Xi thought of something.

"Did you use that drop of essence blood from my father?"

"The essence blood of the Ice Phoenix Great Emperor?"

You told Feng Xi that due to the lack of time, you hadn't had a chance to Refine that drop of essence blood.

"Phew! It's good you didn't use it!"

Feng Xi told you that since entering the Immortal Phoenix Pool was impossible, the drop of Heart Essence Blood from her father was the best treasure to help Lingxi Awaken.

"That drop of essence blood contains the purest Bloodline Power of my father!"

"Doesn't your essence blood work?"

You didn't think much and spoke subconsciously.

After hearing this, Feng Xi glared fiercely at you.

"No! It doesn't work!"

"My father is an Immortal Emperor expert. Only the essence blood of an Immortal Emperor expert will have an effect!"

Lingxi, who was standing nearby, heard your conversation and a trace of gloom flashed in her eyes.

"How about... we don't use it after all!"

"This drop of essence blood is very important to Brother Su Ming. I'm not in a hurry to Awaken my Immortal Eyes; I can Cultivate slowly on my own!"

Lingxi's words instantly interrupted the two of you who were conversing.

Hearing this, Feng Xi looked at you and Lingxi with interest, a faint, almost imperceptible smile curving her lips.

"Absolutely not!"

"The Vast Immortal Domain is much more dangerous than you imagine. When I'm not around, you must be able to protect yourself!"

"This drop of essence blood is not very useful to me."

Facing Lingxi's request, you rejected her without hesitation.

You naturally understood Lingxi's intentions, and you were also very clear about how important this drop of essence blood was.

It would be a lie to say the Ice Phoenix Great Emperor's Heart Essence Blood wasn't precious.

However, this drop of essence blood was not a necessity for you.

Right now, the Awakening of Lingxi's Immortal Eyes was the top priority.

"But..."

Lingxi was about to speak, but you interrupted her directly.

"Take it! You need to learn to grow up!"

"I can't protect you at all times. We are no longer in the Canglan Realm!"

You took the Ice Phoenix Great Emperor's essence blood out of your Storage Ring and handed it directly to Lingxi.

The moment Lingxi held the Ice Phoenix Great Emperor's essence blood, she felt a Bloodline Resonance.

Lingxi looked at the essence blood in her hand, and internally, she couldn't help but want to Refine it.

"Go on!"

"This drop of essence blood belongs to you!"

You naturally saw Lingxi's instinctive physical reaction; this kind of reaction couldn't be faked.

This drop of Ice Phoenix Essence Blood was the most suitable for Lingxi, bar none.

At this moment, Lingxi stopped struggling and hesitating, preparing to Enter Seclusion to Refine this drop of Great Emperor Essence Blood.

"Wait!"

Suddenly, Feng Xi called out to Lingxi.

"The power of this drop of essence blood from my father is too vast; you won't be able to Refine it completely in one go!"

Feng Xi told you that she must assist Lingxi in absorbing and Refining the essence blood, or Lingxi would explode and die.

Feng Xi told you that Refining the essence blood would continuously raise Lingxi's Realm while simultaneously Awakening her Immortal Eyes.

"Alright! I'm counting on you!"

You looked at Feng Xi with gratitude in your eyes.

...

The seventeenth year!

You began to realize that the speed of your Cultivation had slowed down compared to before.

During your leisure time, you sought out Xuanyuan Tianji.

When you voiced your inner thoughts, Xuanyuan Tianji looked at you as if you were an idiot.

"Do you think Cultivation is child's play?"

"Cultivating Immortality is inherently Heaven-Defying. Once you step into the Immortal Lord Realm, you will find that your Cultivation speed drops significantly!"

Xuanyuan Tianji told you that those with exceptional talent below the Immortal Lord could achieve rapid Breakthroughs by accumulating resources.

However, once you Break through to the Immortal Lord Realm, every Breakthrough to a new layer of the Nine Heavens requires ten times or more the time previously spent.

Xuanyuan Tianji told you that ordinary people might be stuck at the Immortal Lord Realm for their entire lives, and even average Geniuses might need to Cultivate for thousands of years just to Break through to the Immortal King Realm.

Xuanyuan Tianji told you that her own talent was one in ten thousand, yet before she was Sealed in the Immortal Source, she was only at the Immortal Lord Realm.

After listening to Xuanyuan Tianji's explanation, you fell into silence.

In reality!

Su Ming, looking at the words Xuanyuan Tianji spoke to him in the simulation, also fell into silence.

At this moment, Su Ming realized that due to the simulator, he had fallen into a delusion.

Because most of his Realm Breakthroughs relied on the simulator's Empowerment, Su Ming had no real concept of the difficulty of Cultivation.

"After the Immortal Lord, huh..."

Only now did Su Ming realize why, before the Immortal Lord Realm, Realms were only divided into four stages: Early, Middle, Late, and Great Perfection.

After the Immortal Lord, it is divided into the Nine Heavens, with each layer representing one stage.

In the simulation!

... "So, do you know why I wasn't optimistic about you pursuing the path of the Chaos Body back then?"

Xuanyuan Tianji told you that Cultivation after the Immortal Lord is inherently difficult, and your Chaos Body makes it even harder.

"What about Ye Chuxue's situation?"

Suddenly, you thought of Ye Chuxue's situation—she obtained the grand yin dao fruit of the Immortal Sovereign Realm in the Heavenly Emperor Secret Realm.

"Ye Chuxue's situation is very special!"

"That was an Opportunity exclusive to her!"

Xuanyuan Tianji told you that due to her Taiyin Sacred Body, Ye Chuxue could easily Refine the grand yin dao fruit, achieving the effect of Empowerment.
