156: Chapter 156 On the Eve of Breakthrough

Leaving the planet, at least for now, is not possible.

Ji Yebai sighed and finally turned back to the ground.

He landed silently.

However, he was in a wretched state right now.

His skin looked as if it had been scorched, and an unbearable pain radiated from it.

This was all damage caused by cosmic rays after losing the protection of the planet's magnetic field.

At this moment, from head to toe, he looked like a burnt person, incredibly terrifying.

Having cultivated to his current Realm.

Recovering from injuries was basically a very simple matter.

Ji Yebai sat down cross-legged.

The surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi suddenly surged violently.

The vast power of heaven and earth poured toward Ji Yebai like a bursting dam.

With a little guidance, this Spiritual Qi was quickly converted into True Essence.

Once replenished, the True Essence began to repair his injuries.

His skin and muscles were rapidly healing.

Layers of charred dead skin began to peel off, layer by layer.

The damaged skin fell away, revealing the newborn pink muscle underneath.

At this moment, Ji Yebai's appearance was extremely terrifying.

Not to mention looking like a malevolent ghost, it was a countenance that could stop a child from crying at night.

However, very quickly, as he increased the output of his True Essence, the new, tender flesh healed rapidly.

An hour later.

Ji Yebai slowly opened his eyes.

All his injuries were gone, and he had fully recovered once again.

He stood up.

A flame rose up, and the dead skin that had fallen around him was instantly burned to nothingness.

"Once the metamorphosis within my body is complete, I can go up again!"

Ji Yebai thought with emotion, "Presumably, by then, I should be able to withstand it a little."

He smiled slightly.

Ji Yebai turned and walked towards Tianjing.

Although he had set off from the Dome Martial Arts Academy, the planet rotates on its axis.

The moment he stepped into outer space, he broke free from the planet's gravity.

When he came back down, he had deviated from his original location.

Fortunately, with a sweep of his Divine Sense, he found his bearings.

The deviation was over a thousand kilometers.

Ji Yebai walked forward leisurely.

A thousand kilometers would take even the fastest flying car an hour.

But for Ji Yebai, it took only a dozen minutes to reach here.

And he wasn't flying.

Ever since he came into contact with space energy, Ji Yebai's "Close-at-hand, Yet Worlds Apart" footwork had upgraded once again.

Previously, due to his increase in Realm, this footwork had become a bit outdated.

But unexpectedly, now that he had gained insight into space energy and expanded the spatial power involved in the footwork, it had immediately risen to a higher level after this change.

Now, with one step, Ji Yebai would disappear directly from where he stood.

By the time his figure reappeared, he was already several kilometers away.

If An Ying were here right now, he would probably be shocked out of his wits.

Because the moment Ji Yebai took a step, the space would fluctuate.

Ji Yebai appearing several kilometers away wasn't because of speed, but because he directly traversed space.

Soon, Ji Yebai appeared at the Dome Martial Arts Academy again.

He strolled leisurely back to his dormitory.

There were thousands of pedestrians on the road, but not a single one knew that the librarian who had just brushed past them had once been to the sky.

"It's time to adjust my state and prepare for the Breakthrough!"

Ji Yebai walked into the dormitory, his expression calm.

He could clearly feel that his metamorphosis was nearing its end.

Once it completely settles down, it will be time for him to make his Breakthrough.

Ji Yebai's flesh, the Five Elements Divine Will, and True Essence were fused into one with his Physical Body, and now his flesh was filled with Laws.

The path of martial arts is about containing everything within the Physical Body.

When the metamorphosis is complete, and every inch of his flesh is branded with Laws, that will be the time for his final leap.

Completely fusing Laws, flesh, Divine Sense, and energy into one.

Truly achieving a life transition.

In fact, over these years, Ji Yebai had also been constantly collecting information about the Saint Realm in Cosmic Civilization.

Although he didn't know what else would happen during the promotion process, he was now clear on some common knowledge.

The promotion process carries huge risks.

This risk is related to oneself, the environment, and the Laws one has comprehended.

For a Legendary life to become a Saint Realm, the first thing they must do is condense the Laws, then extract their spirit from the Physical Body, and taking this opportunity, shatter the Physical Body, and then combine it with the Laws to form a new Law Body.

This is the standard promotion method for Cosmic Civilization.

The spirit body is so fragile, and the energy and the power of Laws in the environment are indescribably violent when they erupt.

Letting Laws and energy erupt around the spirit body, one can imagine the power of this.

And because of this.

Most Legendary Peak practitioners fail at this step.

Out of thousands or even tens of thousands of Legendary Peak warriors, it is not certain that even one will succeed in their promotion.

That is why the Saint Realm has such status.

Of course.

The path of martial arts taken by the Blue Star Civilization is somewhat different from the general cultivation of the Universe.

Therefore, this path of promotion can only serve as a reference, not the only way.

Ji Yebai would not choose this path either.

After all, even having reached this point, the path of martial arts is primarily based on the Physical Body.

If one were to shatter the Physical Body and form a new Law Body using Laws and energy, the nature of the cultivation would have changed.

This is something Ji Yebai would not choose.

Because of this, over these years, Ji Yebai has been re-walking the Nine-Turn Soul Refining Path, wanting to find a Cultivation Technique to advance to the next level, and on the other hand, thinking about increasing his foundation, as well as pondering more.

"Given my current situation, when I make the Breakthrough, I will first need a large amount of energy, and this energy might need to be extremely vast!"

"Furthermore, I need safety and secrecy."

"During the promotion, the oscillation of Laws and the riot of energy will definitely cause a huge scene, and as such, it will attract the attention of many people."

Ji Yebai pondered.

Attracting the attention of others—this 'others' actually refers to the Pansi Civilization and the Draiden Star Civilization.

At this moment, in the 357 Star Sector, three Legendary Civilization existences are maintaining a fragile balance.

If they were to discover that Ji Yebai is an existence promoting to the Saint Realm, they would absolutely stop at nothing to obstruct him at the first opportunity.

And the promotion process is delicate and fragile.

Even Ji Yebai has to consider the issue of safety.

"The choice of location is one point; the other point is the method for the Breakthrough!"

Ji Yebai's thoughts fluctuated.

Over these years, he has been immersed in daily life, and his spirit is pure.

He has gradually realized a way to make the Breakthrough.

"Although my body has undergone several temperings and is already incredibly hard, this hardness is actually relative; compared to the power of Laws, it is still somewhat weak."

"Wanting to rely purely on my current Physical Body to resist the oscillation of Laws is ultimately impossible."

Ji Yebai's gaze was thoughtful.

In an instant, images emerged in his mind.

That was the experience of one-fifth of his consciousness transforming into a Vermilion Bird.

Especially the experience of the Vermilion Bird dying and coming back to life, and evolving for twenty years under the care of Oscar Barry.

No one knows just how great the gains from that experience were for him.

The Five Elements Divine Will guided the evolution of the five great beasts, and some of the beasts even evolved features that possessed characteristics like those in myths and legends by the end.

"Using the experience of the evolution of those five great beasts as a reference, combined with what I gained during my three hundred years of seclusion, this method of mine should work!"

Ji Yebai smiled slightly.

He had a plan in his heart; the method he had been constantly summarizing over these years was finally about to come in handy.

"Wait a little longer. Once the body's metamorphosis is complete and it is fully branded with Laws, it will be time for my final promotion."

He estimated that his body should be completely settled in a little over two years, but just to be safe, Ji Yebai decided to wait for five years.

On one hand, to further perfect the method he had summarized, and on the other, to give himself time to find a good environment for the Breakthrough.
