46: Chapter 46: The terrifying cultivation speed of the Fallen Heart Flame!

What was it like to Cultivate with the assistance of the Fallen Heart Flame? In a word: amazing. In two words: very amazing. In three words—too amazing!

Saying it was a thousand miles a day might be an exaggeration, but it wasn't far off. Originally, Zhao Changsheng possessed the Aptitude of a Heavenly Spiritual Root. Now, with the help of this Fallen Heart Flame, his cultivation speed was so astonishingly fast that even Zhao Changsheng himself wondered if he was experiencing Qi Deviation. Otherwise, how could he be cultivating this quickly?

However, Zhao Changsheng still relied on the mind-calming and spirit-stabilizing method of the Great Evolution Art to steady his mental state, lest he truly step into the Realm of Qi Deviation.

Even so, Zhao Changsheng felt he needed to hurry and repair the Teleportation Array, then head to the Chaotic Star Sea.

Otherwise, Zhao Changsheng couldn't guarantee when he would condense his Golden Core.

At this cultivation speed, if there were no Bottlenecks whatsoever, it would take at most three to five years to successfully condense the Golden Core.

Such a terrifying cultivation speed was absolutely unparalleled in the entire Cultivation World. Under these circumstances, the thing he feared was bound to happen.

That was, the various major cultivation Schools would try every possible means to kill him!

At that time, even Yellow Maple Valley might not be able to protect him, to keep him safe.

Thus, it can be seen that sometimes cultivating too fast isn't necessarily a good thing. At least for the current Zhao Changsheng, such rapid cultivation speed was not a good thing.

Because he didn't yet have sufficient self-preservation power. If he possessed enough power to protect himself, then no matter how fast he cultivated, even if it were ten thousand or eight thousand times faster, it wouldn't be a problem at all.

But now, even if Zhao Changsheng didn't want to Cultivate, it was impossible, because the Fallen Heart Flame would automatically assist its owner in cultivation.

Although one could suppress it through willpower to stop it from helping with cultivation, doing so would consume a portion of mental energy.

Moreover, Zhao Changsheng was not the type to make himself stop cultivating.

On the contrary, he cultivated frantically within his Immortal Cave, though he was far from reaching the point of Qi Deviation, because this was simply his natural cultivation speed.

At the same time, with the help of the Fallen Heart Flame's Sub-flame, Han Li's cultivation speed had reached that of a three-attribute Spiritual Root, or even a dual-attribute Spiritual Root.

Coupled with the fact that Han Li himself had an unlimited supply of Medicinal Pills for assistance.

It could be said that in just one short month, Han Li had already reached the Great Perfection of the 12th layer of the Qi Refinement Stage.

This directly shocked Old Man Ma of the Hundred Herbs Garden.

'Did Junior Brother Zhao give you some kind of miraculous Spirit Pill? Otherwise, how could you be cultivating so fast? Such rapid cultivation speed is completely unlike that of a four-attribute Pseudo-Spiritual Root?'

Seeing Han Li, who had already reached the Great Perfection of the 12th layer of the Qi Refinement Stage, Old Man Ma asked with considerable surprise.

Han Li had anticipated Old Man Ma's surprise.

Originally, he had wanted to conceal his Realm to avoid being discovered by others.

But after much thought, there were quite a few high-level Cultivators in the School, and the Divine Abilities they possessed were incredibly varied. If he were detected, trouble could arise. It was better to just reveal it outright.

Moreover, he had a very sufficient reason.

'Senior Martial Uncle Ma is correct, it was indeed Senior Brother Zhao who helped. Last time I went to Senior Brother Zhao's Immortal Cave, he had refined a batch of failed pills. Those pills were useless for Foundation Establishment Cultivators, but they still had a significant effect for Qi Refining Stage Cultivators like me, so he gave them all to me.'

Han Li gave this reason, which was also the reason he had prepared. No one could find fault with it, even if they actively asked Zhao Changsheng about it.

Besides, no one would proactively go and ask Zhao Changsheng about such a thing.

'Just as I thought. It seems Junior Brother Zhao values you, his Junior Brother from the Mortal World, very much. Good, with his help, perhaps both you Junior Brothers will have a chance to successfully achieve Foundation Establishment.'

Upon hearing Han Li's reason, Old Man Ma immediately showed an 'as expected' expression, his tone tinged with a hint of envy.

'That still depends on luck. Let's talk about it after I Cultivate to the 13th layer of the Qi Refinement Stage first.'

Han Li smiled noncommittally.

After that, he said no more, and Old Man Ma had no intention of pressing further.

After all, he wasn't particularly interested in such matters to begin with; he was just somewhat surprised and asked... And so, time passed quickly. On Zhao Changsheng's side, he smoothly reached the Great Perfection of Late Stage Foundation Establishment, what the Chaotic Star Sea calls the False Core Realm, in less than a year.

The biggest contributor during this period was undoubtedly the Fallen Heart Flame within him.

If not for the help of this strange flame, the time required to reach this step would only have been longer.

Now, all Zhao Changsheng needed was to go into seclusion for another year or two, and he could smoothly and naturally condense his Golden Core and become a Core Formation Stage Cultivator.

But Zhao Changsheng did not choose to do this. Instead, he chose to emerge from seclusion.

Because Zhao Changsheng understood clearly that now was not the time to go into seclusion to condense his Golden Core.

He needed to suppress his cultivation base and could no longer continue cultivating.

Given his current situation, suppressing his own cultivation was an easy task, not a difficult one at all.

But just in case, Zhao Changsheng chose to dissipate his power, compressing and condensing his True Essence Mana to lower his Realm.

His strength was not affected in the slightest; on the contrary, it became even more refined and robust, which was also greatly beneficial for future cultivation.

However, very few Cultivators would do this, because the time, effort, and resources required were unimaginable.

Only a Cultivator like Zhao Changsheng had the qualifications, the ability, and the guts to do this.

After confirming there were no issues, Zhao Changsheng continued cultivating again, only feeling at ease after he had lowered his Realm to Foundation Establishment Mid-stage.

Then he began to enhance his strength once more. This time, he specifically went to ask Han Li for some thousand-year spirit medicines, and also obtained several Pill Formulas for pills that aid in boosting cultivation from Hong Fu and the Sect Head.

It might be very difficult for Han Li to obtain such Pill Formulas, but Zhao Changsheng only needed to ask.

He didn't need to worry at all about the Sect Head, or rather, his Revered Master, refusing.

Because when they saw that Zhao Changsheng had already raised his Realm to Foundation Establishment Mid-stage, they were extremely happy, marveling at how fast Zhao Changsheng's cultivation speed truly was.

Under these circumstances, the speed at which they provided the Pill Formulas and some medicinal materials was naturally also very fast.

That's right, this time they not only gave Zhao Changsheng the Pill Formulas, but also some medicinal materials.

But not all of them, just a portion. The rest needed Zhao Changsheng to find himself, but this wasn't too difficult a task for him.

Because he only needed some seedlings and seeds, not mature plants. As long as he got the seedlings and seeds,

Then he could hand them over to Han Li and have the other party Cultivate them.
