223: Breakthrough again, the fifth level of the Spiritualization

“Slain Gathering Yuan Fifth Stage…”

“Slain Mortal Shedding First Stage…”

“Slain…”

On the light screen, text flickered incessantly.

It wasn't until a full half-cup of tea later that the text stopped flickering.

By this point, half of the entire Yellow Demon Peak had been completely razed to the ground.

Jiang Lan lowered his head and looked at his palm.

This was moving mountains and filling seas… a Realm that once felt unattainable, he had now reached.

The might of Soul Transformation was terrifying.

Jiang Lan looked at his remaining Lifespan column.

“Remaining Lifespan: 173,221 years.”

The Ten Thousand Demons Hall Disciples within the entire Yellow Demon Peak were basically all gathered on the mountainside.

At the foot of the mountain, there was only Old Wolf.

He was the one who had brought Jiang Lan into the sect initially.

When Jiang Lan made his move, he did not investigate.

Normally, Old Wolf should have been at the foot of the mountain, and this palm strike would not have affected him.

But if Old Wolf happened to be on the mountainside at that moment, then Jiang Lan could do nothing.

He could not interrupt his original plan for the sake of one Old Wolf.

Moreover, the Ape Demon's knowledge of his information was most likely told by Old Wolf.

Regardless of his intentions at the time, what was said was said.

If Jiang Lan had not been strong, he would probably have been drained dry by Wang Erniu by now.

So, life and death were fated.

After doing all this, Jiang Lan did not linger in mid-air but directly activated Hidden God Art and landed in a city not far below.

Due to the Hidden God Art, his descent into the city did not attract the attention of the demons at all.

Jiang Lan walked out from a secluded corner and, a moment later, arrived at the entrance of an Inn.

Entering the Inn, he said directly:

“I want a top room, the best one.”

As he spoke, he directly threw out a few blood pills.

Behind the counter, the Innkeeper's eyes flashed with joy upon seeing so many blood pills, and he quickly collected them, calling out:

“Take the Esteemed Guest to find a top room, the best one!”

A dog demon dressed as a waiter stepped forward and greeted Jiang Lan:

“Esteemed Guest, please follow me.”

Led by the dog demon, Jiang Lan arrived in front of a door on the third floor of the Inn.

The waiter pushed open the door and said:

“Esteemed Guest, this is the best top room. Are you satisfied?”

Jiang Lan looked inside the room.

The decor was average, but it was clean, and although there was some strange smell, it wasn't too strong.

Jiang Lan nodded, “It’s fine, you may leave.”

For him, the environment was not important.

Jiang Lan only sought this place because he needed to seize the time to make a Breakthrough.

After dismissing the waiter, Jiang Lan directly sat cross-legged on the bed board.

The System light screen appeared, and he once again looked at the 170,000 years of remaining Lifespan, muttering:

“Cultivate, max out.”

His current Realm was basically half of the Soul Transformation First Stage.

He didn't know how much improvement all 170,000 years would bring him if fully invested.

The text on the light screen flickered.

“Year 1: You continue to Cultivate.”

“Year 9,563: You successfully make a Breakthrough, your Realm advances to Soul Transformation Second Stage.”

“Year 41,358: You make another Breakthrough, your Realm advances to Soul Transformation Third Stage.”

“Year 94,200: Through your unremitting efforts, your Realm finally advances to Soul Transformation Fourth Stage.”

“Year 167,950: Tens of thousands of years flash by, congratulations, your Realm advances to Soul Transformation Fifth Stage.”

“Year 173,220: Due to the short duration of Cultivation, your Realm did not make another Breakthrough.”

Jiang Lan's Aura continued to climb steadily, but under his deliberate suppression, it did not cause any impact on the surroundings.

At this moment, his strength had risen several more levels compared to when he was at Soul Transformation First Stage.

Fifth Stage… Jiang Lan narrowed his eyes.

Judging by the increasing Lifespan cost for higher stages, he would need at least three to four hundred thousand more years of Lifespan to raise his Realm to Soul Transformation Perfection.

And these 170,000 years were obtained by him after nearly eradicating all the demons on the entire Yellow Demon Peak.

On Yellow Demon Peak, the demons were definitely not completely wiped out.

But the remaining ones were probably just a few stragglers, at most, some who were out on missions.

All in all, there was no longer any need for him to slowly search for and kill them.

Next, if he wanted to quickly increase his Lifespan, he would have to find two more places of similar scale to Yellow Demon Peak.

After that palm strike just now, Jiang Lan also felt some emotion.

What kind of bitter life had he been living before?

He was overjoyed with ten thousand a day.

Now, he just slapped out one palm, and over a hundred thousand years were in his grasp.

Jiang Lan's thoughts were clear, and he quickly made a decision.

Next, he would go find the other few mountains of the Ten Thousand Demons Hall.

He wouldn't go to the main peak yet.

He did not know the exact Realm of the Kunpeng Demon Emperor, and if his strength was inferior, being counter-killed would be a loss too great.

It would be better to honestly raise his Realm to Soul Transformation Ninth Stage Perfection first, and then go trouble that Kunpeng Demon Emperor.

Not just the Kunpeng Demon Emperor.

According to what Yao Banxian said before, the strongest cultivators within the current Chihong Province were only at Soul Transformation.

As for the subsequent Realms, they only existed in ancient texts.

If Yao Banxian was correct, then as long as he had the Realm of Soul Transformation Perfection, he could walk freely within Chihong Province.

By then, Lifespan would truly just be a number to him.

With truly transcendent power, if he wanted to kill demons, wouldn't he be able to kill as many as he wished?

Thinking of this, Jiang Lan walked out of the Inn, preparing to go find the next mountain peak of the Ten Thousand Demons Hall.

Currently, Jiang Lan was unsure if any Soul Transformation demons had discovered him.

Therefore, he had to seize every moment to quickly improve his strength.

Strength was the foundation of everything.

If someone came knocking and his strength was inferior, who knew what might happen?

But after going downstairs and stepping out, he stood on the street, a little bewildered.

That's not right.

He didn't know where the other mountains of the Ten Thousand Demons Hall were.

Jiang Lan couldn't possibly wander aimlessly like a headless fly in the Demon Domain.

Then, there was only one option: find someone to ask.

Jiang Lan once again soared into the air, heading straight for the half-destroyed Yellow Demon Peak.

He went directly to the mountainside.

At this moment, Yellow Demon Peak was already in chaos, with cries and shouts incessantly filling the air.

Even if Jiang Lan landed on the mountain and was seen by other demons, no one paid him any mind; some were crying, others were yelling.

Jiang Lan was too lazy to bother with this mob of small fry, so he flew down the mountain.

A moment later, a stone house appeared before his eyes.

It was the house where Old Wolf resided.

Jiang Lan stepped forward and knocked on the door.

“Uncle Wolf, are you there?”

Soon, the door opened, revealing Old Wolf's still-frightened face.

Seeing Jiang Lan, he let out a long sigh of relief before asking:

“Wolf Cub, why are you here?”
