63: Chapter 63 Space Evolves into Stars, the Void Realm Advances Further, Nighttime Investigation of the Cave Abode

The hurried retreat of the Bishui Sect Cultivators brought a brief period of peace to Zhuixing Lake.

Ye Qing stayed deep within Hunyuan Island and did not act rashly because of the clues to the underwater Immortal Cave.

Steady development is always the top priority.

He first spent a few days thoroughly digesting the Yao Beast corpses and Materials he had harvested.

A continuous sense of satisfaction came from the space, and the feedback energy made the barrier of the Foundation Establishment Mid Stage Perfection increasingly clear, almost ready to be broken with a touch.

But Ye Qing was still not in a hurry to make a Breakthrough.

He guided the space energy, repeatedly washing and tempering his Foundation, Physical Body, and Divine Soul, digging out every bit of potential to the extreme.

At the same time, he devoted more of his mind to the realization of the new changes in the space.

In the 280-zhang Cave Heaven, the phantom stars above were becoming clearer and more numerous day by day.

Although they were still phantoms, some simple star arrangements could already be distinguished, vaguely forming the outline of a miniature, slowly rotating star map.

The starlight cast by these star phantoms contained pure starlight energy, which blended with the silver glow of the moonlight jade tree to form a unique "Star-Moon Spiritual Radiance" that nourished all things.

Ye Qing tried to guide a wisp of Star-Moon Spiritual Radiance into his own mana.

As the mana circulated, it immediately took on a cold, eternal, and unpredictable charm, making the circulation smoother and slightly increasing his affinity for Void Realm energy.

"The power of the stars is truly profound. Eternal, stable, changeable, mysterious... It has different emphases from the unpredictability of Void Realm energy and the clear tranquility of moonlight energy, yet they can complement each other. If these three can be better integrated into the Hunxu Yandao Scripture, the quality of the Cultivation Technique will definitely go up another level."

He immersed himself in the realization, combining the fragmented Star Induction Technique learned from the Wen Dao Pavilion with the process of the space itself evolving stars, constantly deducing and adjusting the operation route of the Cultivation Technique.

The framework of the Hunxu Yandao Scripture, after absorbing the true meaning of the stars, became more magnificent, profound, and stable.

With the rotation of the Five Elements as the base, Chaos as the Foundation, the eternity of stars as the bones, the clear tranquility of moonlight as the spirit, and the unpredictability of the Void Realm as the veins.

An all-encompassing, unique Cultivation Technique with infinite potential was gradually perfected under Ye Qing's continuous sculpting.

On this day, as he was guiding the Star-Moon Spiritual Radiance to temper a wisp of mana, attempting to solidify a trace of the star "eternal" characteristic within it, a clear and joyful fluctuation suddenly came from the "moonlight star seed" on the Floating Landmass.

Ye Qing's consciousness immediately sank in.

He saw that on the one-foot-tall moonlight star seed, in the center of the pair of silver-white leaves that had grown first at the top, a grain-sized, diamond-like starlight was slowly condensing and taking shape.

Although the starlight was small, it emitted an incomparably pure and condensed starlight energy, carrying the special Dao charm unique to the moonlight star seed, which fused the clear tranquility of moonlight and the eternity of stars.

"Is this... the condensation of 'Star-Moon Essence'? The moonlight star seed has begun to provide feedback!"

Ye Qing was pleasantly surprised. In terms of quality and utility, this Star-Moon Essence was far superior to ordinary star sand and moonlight jade marrow; it was an excellent spiritual item for tempering Magic Treasure, refining high-grade Medicinal Pill, and even assisting in the realization of the Star-Moon Dao.

He carefully took off this newly born Star-Moon Essence and held it in his palm.

It felt warm and cool to the touch, with starlight circulating and moonlight contained within; it was incredibly beautiful.

He did not use it immediately but placed it above the Floating Landmass, letting it absorb the Star-Moon Spiritual Radiance within the space to slowly nourish and strengthen it.

"In time, this object will definitely have great use. Perhaps it can serve as one of the core spiritual Materials for my future Lifebound Treasure."

Withdrawing from the space, Ye Qing felt happy.

The potential of the Golden Finger indeed requires constant excavation and waiting. The feedback from the moonlight star seed proved that his direction for cultivating spiritual plants in the space was correct.

Over the next few days, in addition to Cultivate, he began to try to integrate the newly realized true meaning of the stars into various skills.

When performing Alchemy, introducing a wisp of starlight during the pill-forming stage could make the medicinal power of the Medicinal Pill more restrained and stable, with a longer shelf life.

When making talismans, using Star-Moon Spiritual Radiance to blend the talisman ink, the drawn "Lesser Void Realm Evasion Talisman" had more erratic movement trajectories, making it difficult to lock onto.

In terms of Formation, inspired by the arrangement of stars, he fine-tuned the node layout of the "Lesser Hunyuan Five Elements Earth Vein Array," making the Formation run more smoothly, and the concealment effect was also slightly improved due to the confusion of starlight.

His cultivation, after being polished by the natural course of events, finally reached the true limit of the Foundation Establishment Mid Stage.

His Foundation was flawless, his mana was viscous like crystal, his Divine Sense was condensed like mercury, his Physical Body was full of vitality, and his essence, energy, and spirit were all at their Peak.

The opportunity for a Breakthrough had arrived.

Ye Qing did not choose to go into seclusion inside the Immortal Cave.

He quietly left Hunyuan Island, drove the Wind Spirit Wings, and came to the deepest part of Zhuixing Lake, above the lake surface of the deep valley where he had once discovered the star-patterned jade marrow.

The water here was hundreds of zhang deep, with immense water pressure, making it difficult for ordinary Cultivators to reach. Moreover, the undercurrents at the bottom of the lake were complex and could interfere with Spiritual Qi fluctuations, making it an excellent location to cover up the phenomena during a Breakthrough.

He took a "void concealment pill" he had refined himself.

As the Medicinal Pill dissolved, a strange feeling of being integrated with the surrounding space and lake water enveloped his whole body. His aura, light and shadow, and presence were all reduced to the minimum.

Then, he slowly sank into the lake water until he reached the bottom of the deep valley, found a hidden rock crevice, and sat down cross-legged.

His mind settled, and the Hunxu Yandao Scripture slowly circulated.

In his Dantian, the two-inch Chaos Foundation shimmered with light, the Five Elements rotated, stars dotted it, moonlight shone, and the Void Realm charm was profound.

As the Cultivation Technique was pushed to the limit, the Foundation began to tremble slightly, emitting a strong suction force.

The sparse Spiritual Qi in the surrounding lake water was drawn and slowly gathered.

But more importantly, the 280-zhang Cave Heaven inside his body, sensing its master's intention to break through, shook violently!

Chaos airflow surged backward, Star-Moon Spiritual Radiance erupted, Five Elements essence boiled, and Void Realm fluctuations rippled...

All the power, under the command of Ye Qing's will, turned into an unprecedented, vast, and pure torrent containing all the true meanings of the Hunxu Yandao Scripture, which surged out from the space's feedback, rushed into the Dantian, and fiercely slammed into that perfect and flawless barrier!

Boom!!!

A silent roar exploded within Ye Qing's body.

The barrier from the Foundation Establishment Mid Stage to the Late Stage, under the combined impact of this perfect Foundation, deep accumulation, profound Cultivation Technique, and the full feedback of the space, collapsed like paper at the slightest touch!

The Foundation shone brightly and expanded suddenly!

From two inches in diameter, it surged to three inches! The volume increased, but the structure became more complex and solid, and clearer five-colored Dao patterns, star trajectories, moonlight runes, and looming Void Realm ripples appeared on the surface.

Foundation Establishment Late Stage, achieved!

The Dantian Qi Sea expanded accordingly, and the total amount and purity of mana surged again, viscous like paste, with wind and thunder following as it flowed, stars rotating, moonlight rising and falling, and the Void Realm being born and destroyed.

His Divine Soul strengthened simultaneously, his Divine Sense perception range exceeded two hundred zhang, condensed like substance, could leave his body for short-term exploration, and his perception of energy, crises, and space became more sensitive and subtle.

Under the baptism of the Breakthrough energy, his Physical Body had his muscles and bones ringing together, his Qi and blood like a Dragon, and treasure light faintly flowing under his skin; its strength, toughness, and recovery ability soared, and ordinary Medium Grade Magical Artifact would find it difficult to break his defense.

Ye Qing slowly opened his eyes, and his eyes seemed to contain the beginning of Chaos, the evolution of stars, the flow of moonlight, and the birth and destruction of the Void Realm, which then all vanished and returned to deep calm.

Foundation Establishment Late Stage, a natural result.

Feeling the vast mana and vigorous vitality surging in his body, he had a clearer understanding of his own strength.

"With Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivation, combined with mana quality far exceeding those of the same rank, a powerful Physical Body, a condensed Divine Soul, and the strange Divine Ability brought by the Void Dao Seed, I can now fight even against a Foundation Establishment Perfection Stage Cultivator. If I use all my means, my chances of winning are not low. An ordinary Golden Core Early Stage... perhaps I can maneuver a bit, but winning is difficult, and I should have enough power to save my life."

He did not leave immediately but continued to sit cross-legged at the bottom of the lake, circulating his Cultivation Technique to consolidate his newly formed Foundation Establishment Late Stage Realm.

At the same time, his Divine Sense quietly spread out, vigilant of his surroundings.

The effect of the "void concealment pill" was still there, and coupled with the complex environment at the bottom of the lake and his own restraint, the slight Spiritual Qi fluctuations during his Breakthrough should not have been noticed from afar.

Just as he was consolidating his cultivation and his Divine Sense habitually swept over the nearby lakebed, his heart suddenly moved.

His Divine Sense captured an extremely weak, intermittent, and special fluctuation that was different from Water Element Spiritual Qi and starlight energy.

This fluctuation... seemed to come from the direction of the underwater Immortal Cave crack discovered by the Bishui Sect Cultivators.

Moreover, there was a faint spatial disorder in the fluctuation, and... a faint smell of blood?

Could it be that there was still something in that Immortal Cave? Or did the people from the Bishui Sect return and encounter trouble inside?

Ye Qing's eyes flickered.

His cultivation had just broken through, and he happened to need actual combat to test it. That underwater Immortal Cave might be a good testing ground, and he could see what was hidden inside by the way.

He ended his breath adjustment, his figure quietly floated up like a swimming fish, and he dived towards the direction of the crack.

Inside his body, the 280-zhang Cave Heaven, the Chaos airflow was vast, the star phantoms were rotating, the moonlight was flowing, and the vitality was infinite, continuously feeding back more pure and vast Hunxu Spiritual Power.

The Zhuixing Lake life of the Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator Ye Qing opened a new page amidst Breakthroughs and new explorations.
