With the vast sea allowing fish to leap, the path of Martial Dao has already become a wide and smooth road!

Chapter 17: True Spirit Realm Eighth Level, Returning to the Holy Land

"There are still half a month until the day of the Outer Sect Great Competition!"

"Now that all matters are concluded, it's time to go back!"

With the Mixed Origin Dao Embryo in hand, this outing can be said to be a complete success.

Chu Mo also subsequently had the thought of returning to the Sect.

It just so happens that the Sect Great Competition is not far off, so next, he can Cultivate properly for a while, prepare with a calm mind, and stun everyone with his first display!

"However..."

"The spirit liquid accumulated within this natural spirit formation before him cannot be wasted; he just happened to have obtained a heavenly yuan spirit crystal previously, and can refine them together!"

This natural spirit formation, able to nurture a Mixed Origin Dao Embryo, naturally belongs to a top-tier blessed land.

Leaving aside the Dao Rhythms for now, just the spirit liquid accumulated by the spirit formation is a rare treasure.

After all, this spirit liquid is condensed from extremely pure Spiritual Qi and can be directly absorbed, allowing a Martial Artist's strength to rapidly increase.

"Let's begin!"

Chu Mo did not hesitate, directly sat cross-legged, and took out the heavenly yuan spirit crystal from his Storage Pouch.

This item appeared clean throughout, like beautiful glazed jade; however, if one looked closely, one could perceive liquid slowly flowing within.

That liquid was the truly effective treasure!

After admiring it for a moment, Chu Mo gently tapped open an opening on the crystal and then poured it into his mouth.

Gulp!

As the liquid from the spirit crystal entered his throat, he instantly felt a fragrant aroma filling the air, his mouth watering, and a warm current also surged into his limbs and bones, bringing immense comfort wherever it passed.

This was the liquid within the heavenly yuan spirit crystal taking effect, improving Chu Mo's Physical Body Aptitude.

Seeing this.

Chu Mo immediately circulated the Taichu Body Tempering Scripture, and Spiritual Qi, like a roaring mountain and surging sea, was drawn in, forming an extremely terrifying Spiritual Qi vortex, which poured into Chu Mo through his head and limbs.

...

Just as Chu Mo was Cultivating.

Whoosh!

Two Elders in wide robes and long sleeves flew through the air.

The Aura on their bodies was very profound, brilliant divine light bloomed like a scorching sun, and wherever they passed, Dao Rhythms flowed, indicating their extraordinary strength at a glance.

When the two flew above the mountain stronghold, one of them suddenly noticed something, let out a soft exclamation, and his gaze followed, casting downwards.

"This place has such a strong bloody Aura; it seems a fierce battle occurred not long ago!"

"Besides that, there are still lingering Dao Rhythms flowing... That Prodigy who previously caused a celestial phenomenon should be here!"

As he spoke.

He directly descended.

And the other person also followed closely behind.

These two were the Elders dispatched by Taichu Holy Land; this time, they were ordered by the Sect Master to investigate the Prodigy who had appeared, and if possible, to bring this person back to the Sect and carefully Cultivate him.

After the two landed, they meticulously searched for a while and finally determined that that Prodigy should have caused the celestial phenomenon here.

But...

The two spread out their Divine Sense, covering a radius of several hundred miles, but could not find the target at all.

"Could he have already left?"

An Elder with a beard beneath his jaw, wearing a black robe, frowned.

A Prodigy Martial Artist is rare in the world.

Whenever one appears, they are an invaluable treasure.

Even a Holy Land attaches great importance to them.

And now, a Prodigy has appeared near their Taichu Holy Land; if he were to slip away, this would be a great loss for the Holy Land.

"He has probably left already, but there's no need to worry too much!"

Another Elder closed his eyes and sensed the surrounding Spiritual Qi fluctuations for a moment, then opened his mouth and said, "This person's strength is not high; he should be around the True Spirit Realm, not exceeding the Tongxuan Realm. Even if he has left, he hasn't gone far yet. If we expand our search area, we might still catch up!"

"That's the only way!"

The black-robed Elder nodded.

Immediately, the two left this place and continued their search.

...

Inside the stone cave.

Buzz!

Chu Mo was still immersed in Cultivation.

Massive amounts of Spiritual Qi formed a funnel and poured into Chu Mo through his head.

But strangely, such terrifying Spiritual Qi fluctuations were all smoothed out by the natural spirit formation, with no fluctuations reaching the outside world.

Under such circumstances, Chu Mo's strength was rapidly increasing.

In the blink of an eye.

Three days had already passed.

On this day.

Chu Mo, who was Cultivating normally, suddenly heard a crisp 'crack' sound from within his body, as if some kind of restraint had been broken. Immediately after, a stronger Aura swept out.

Only after a full moment did this Aura gradually subside.

At the same time, Chu Mo also opened his eyes, two sharp glints shot out, and then immediately receded.

"True Spirit Realm Eighth Level!"

A smile appeared at the corner of Chu Mo's mouth.

Relying on the pure Spiritual Qi gathered within this natural spirit formation, coupled with the effects of the heavenly yuan spirit crystal, Chu Mo only Cultivated in seclusion for three days but consecutively broke through Realms, directly ascending from the True Spirit Realm Fifth Level to the True Spirit Realm Eighth Level!

One Realm a day!

Such terrifying Cultivation speed, if it were to spread out, would definitely shock countless Martial Artists.

However, for Chu Mo, this was reasonable.

He had long since undergone marrow cleansing and bone tempering, strengthening his tendons and bones, his Aptitude and Comprehension Ability had greatly increased, and he had forged a supreme Dao foundation with his congenital pure yang bone; then, with the blessing of the Mixed Origin Dao Embryo, his foundation and Comprehension Ability could already be called that of a rare Genius and Prodigy.

Coupled with the amplification from the spirit liquid and heavenly yuan spirit crystal, it was also truly normal to have such terrifying effects.

If there weren't such effects, he would find it strange.

"The True Spirit Realm has a total of Nine Heavens; he is currently at the Eighth Level and is about to reach the peak of True Spirit!"

"According to my talent and Aptitude, even without the blessing of such heaven-defying treasures, I can still advance to the True Spirit Realm Ninth Level within half a month!"

"By then, perhaps I can enter the Tongxuan Realm before the Outer Sect Great Competition!"

Thinking of this, a sense of accomplishment immediately arose in Chu Mo's heart.

Not long ago.

He had Cultivated for over twelve years, only then reaching Body Tempering Eighth Level.

But now, in just half a month, he had consecutively broken through Realms, reaching True Spirit Eighth Level, and even had hope of advancing to True Disciple, or even coveting a Holy Land position.

Such a situation.

He had never dared to imagine it before!

Whoosh...

Taking a deep breath, Chu Mo calmed his somewhat agitated mood. After waiting for himself to completely calm down, he decided to leave.

However.

As his thoughts returned, he immediately discovered something unusual about his body.

Lowering his head to look, he saw black stains all over his skin, and a foul stench assaulted his nose.

Seeing this.

Chu Mo was first stunned, but quickly understood.

"This is the heavenly yuan spirit crystal taking effect!"

"Besides enhancing Cultivation, this item can also improve Comprehension Ability and enhance Aptitude."

"Right now, this has performed a deeper level of marrow cleansing and bone tempering for me, causing the Impurities within my body to be expelled, and my Comprehension Ability and Aptitude have been further improved!"
