100: The leader of the Xianying Sect who practices the "Su Nu Zhen Jue"!

So that's how it is!

Seeing the Seal reappear and the prompt once again surfacing in his mind, Su Yang immediately realized that the reason he couldn't Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage wasn't due to his Cultivation base being substandard, but because his Innate Kidney Body had also reached a bottleneck as his Cultivation advanced.

The Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Stage had been accompanied by theRelease of one Seal on his Innate Kidney Body. If he guessed correctly, the Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage must also be accompanied by theRelease of the second Seal on his Innate Kidney Body.

The two prompts in his mind were not essentially telling him how to Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage, but rather how toRelease the second Seal on his Innate Kidney Body.

Based on previous experience, as long as the second Seal on his Innate Kidney Body wasRelease, then the Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage would naturally follow.

Otherwise, no matter what method he used, he wouldn't be able to Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage.

Just like how he couldn't Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Stage for three years back then.

Now that he knew the method for his Breakthrough, it was simple.

Su Yang took a deep breath and slowly opened his eyes.

"Revered Master, how could this be...? This shouldn't be! Your Cultivation base is already fully capable of Breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage."

"I've already Broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage twice. The Nascent Soul Stage shouldn't be this difficult to Breakthrough. The two of us together couldn't even Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage. This... what exactly is going on...?"

Seeing Su Yang give up on his Breakthrough attempt, Gu Yue's anxiety was clearly visible on her face.

At this moment, Gu Yue showed no playful charm; she was entirely filled with regret for not being able to help him Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage.

Su Yang smiled slightly.

He pinched her cheek.

"You don't need to blame yourself. My Physique is special, and the conditions required for my Breakthrough are also extremely unique."

"I've already grasped the key factor for my Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage. A Breakthrough is only a matter of time."

Su Yang's comfort reassured Gu Yue considerably.

At this moment, Wen Yunyao and Lin Bingqing also ran over, looking at Su Yang with concern.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

"It's not a failed Breakthrough; it just requires some other methods."

Su Yang motioned for Gu Yue to stand up.

He said to them, "You don't need to worry about me. I'm going to the Grand Elders to inquire about some matters and will be back soon."

With that, he transformed into a streak of light and flew towards Xuanqing House.

Inside Xuanqing House.

Grand Elder Xuan Qing, Grand Elder Xuan Yan, and Grand Elder Xuan Jian, the Three Grand Elders, were fully focused on condensing rune formations.

Sensing Su Yang's aura approaching, the three of them had already exited Cultivation and came to the door together to greet Su Yang.

"Revered Master!"

When Su Yang landed before them, the Three Grand Elders respectfully bowed to him.

Seeing Su Yang reach the Late Golden Core Stage Peak in just a few months, the eyes of the Three Grand Elders—Grand Elder Xuan Qing, Grand Elder Xuan Yan, and Grand Elder Xuan Jian—were exceptionally bright.

Although their own strength far surpassed Su Yang's, his Cultivation speed left them with no complaints about calling him "Revered Master."

If not for a Reincarnated Great Power from ancient times, who could possess such terrifying Cultivation speed!?

Grand Elder Xuan Jian chuckled, "It looks like Revered Master is about to Breakthrough. It won't be long before I can ask Revered Master for guidance!"

Su Yang said, "My Breakthrough conditions are very special and cannot be achieved by ordinary methods. I came to find you today precisely for this reason."

Seeing Su Yang's serious expression, the three of them immediately became serious as well.

The three invited Su Yang inside.

Each of them cast a barrier, and the triple barriers completely isolated Xuanqing House.

"Revered Master, please take the seat of honor."

Although they sat on the floor, the Three Grand Elders—Grand Elder Xuan Qing, Grand Elder Xuan Yan, and Grand Elder Xuan Jian—placed great importance on decorum.

Su Yang sat at the highest position, while the three of them sat in a row before him.

Su Yang didn't waste words and immediately said, "My Breakthrough has two extremely important prerequisites. One is the Heavenly Extreme Cold Spring. You have lived long and are knowledgeable; do you know where this Heavenly Extreme Cold Spring is located?"

Grand Elder Xuan Qing frowned, not recalling the Heavenly Extreme Cold Spring Su Yang mentioned.

Grand Elder Xuan Jian looked completely bewildered, evidently hearing of the Heavenly Extreme Cold Spring for the first time.

It was Grand Elder Xuan Yan, who often practiced Alchemy, who immediately thought of something upon hearing about the Heavenly Extreme Cold Spring.

He said, "Revered Master, this Heavenly Extreme Cold Spring is formed by the convergence of Innate water, a Spirit Treasure of heaven and earth. It is extremely Yin and extremely cold, yet it can only be found in places of extreme Yang and extreme heat."

"This Disciple once saw a related record in a Secret Manual that documented Medicinal Pill Materials."

"Among the Nine Provinces and Twenty-Seven Nations, only the Yellow Springs Nation in Guangling Province of the Western Regions has records of the Heavenly Extreme Cold Spring."

"But Revered Master..."

Grand Elder Xuan Yan's brows furrowed in solemnity, and he paused before continuing, "The location of the Heavenly Extreme Cold Spring experiences alternating cold and heat, and Spiritual Qi is completely absent. Any Cultivator who approaches will have their True Essence drawn out and re-transformed into Spiritual Qi, which is then absorbed by the Heavenly Extreme Cold Spring."

"This Disciple once went to the Yellow Springs Nation in Guangling Province, attempting to find the Heavenly Extreme Cold Spring for Alchemy. Even with a large supply of Medicinal Pills to replenish True Essence, I nearly lost my life."

"Furthermore, it is said that the Heavenly Extreme Cold Spring is not a fixed spring. It is formed from Innate water and can appear in any form of water, or even transfer itself as Spiritual Qi to any location, making it extremely difficult to find."

Su Yang's brows furrowed tightly.

He hadn't expected the Heavenly Extreme Cold Spring to be so terrifying.

But did he have a way out?

He could just stay comfortably at the Golden Core Peak, and he would be fine, but what he desired was far more than just the Golden Core Peak. Therefore, no matter how difficult, he had to proceed.

"Since this thing exists, then it's manageable."

Su Yang noted down the name 'Yellow Springs Nation in Guangling Province of the Western Regions.'

He then added, "Besides that, I also need a female Cultivator with a Innate First-Grade Water Spirit Root. Does our Sect have such a female Disciple?"

At these words, the Three Grand Elders fell silent for a moment.

Grand Elder Xuan Qing shook his head and said, "Innate Spiritual Roots are already one in ten thousand, and a First-Grade Aptitude is even harder to find, one in ten million. Our Profound Heaven Dao Sect has been established for ten thousand years, with countless Disciples, but if we're talking about a Innate First-Grade Water Spirit Root, there is one..."

"Who? Where are they?"

Su Yang's face lit up with joy.

Grand Elder Xuan Qing, with a hint of awkwardness, pointed at Su Yang, "That person is none other than you, Revered Master."

Su Yang: ???

Are you messing with me, old man???

Su Yang rolled his eyes, and the joy on his face also faded.

Grand Elder Xuan Qing cleared his throat and continued, "Apart from Revered Master, the Profound Heaven Dao Sect has never produced a Cultivator with a Innate First-Grade Water Spirit Root."

Su Yang's heart sank.

But he was only slightly disappointed, not disheartened.

"Since our Sect doesn't have one, what about other Sects? Are there any female Cultivators with a Innate First-Grade Water Spirit Root?"

Grand Elder Xuan Qing pondered, "To our knowledge, among the Eight Sects, there is only one person explicitly known to possess a Innate First-Grade Water Spirit Root."

"Who?" Su Yang pressed.

"The Sect Master of the Immortal Shadow Sect—Su Yulan."

Su Yulan... Su Yang was not unfamiliar with the Sect Master of the Immortal Shadow Sect.

During his trip to the Burial Immortal Valley, as the Sect Master of the Immortal Shadow Sect, he often saw her. She was an absolute beauty, an immortal fairy.

He hadn't expected her to also possess such a high Aptitude as a Innate First-Grade Water Spirit Root.

Of course,

This was good news for him.

"It seems I'll have to make a trip to the Immortal Shadow Sect!"

Upon hearing this, Grand Elder Xuan Jian frowned tightly and stated directly, "Revered Master, you may not know, but Su Yulan Cultivates the 'Su Nu True Art'. This Cultivation Technique requires one to maintain a pure maiden body to Cultivate! Once she loses her purity, all her Cultivation will vanish in an instant, requiring her to Cultivate from scratch! As a Sect Master, she bears the rise and fall of her Sect. How could she destroy her Dao foundation and lose her Cultivation to start over just to help Revered Master Breakthrough?"

Su Yang: ???

It was already incredibly difficult to ask a Sect Master to sacrifice herself, and now it had to be even more intense!?

Su Yang rubbed his temples, "Besides Su Yulan, are there no other female Cultivators who would be easier to deal with? Are there any Loose Cultivators?"

"No."

Grand Elder Xuan Qing, Grand Elder Xuan Yan, and Grand Elder Xuan Jian all shook their heads in unison.

If there were Loose Cultivators with such Aptitude, the Eight Sects would have long since snatched them into their Sects.

A line of black appeared above Su Yang's head.

He took a deep breath and said, "Since that's the case, then I can only go to the Immortal Shadow Sect to investigate the situation. If it really doesn't work, I'll abduct her back to our Profound Heaven Dao Sect, use Dual Cultivation to help her Cultivation rise again, and then send her back!"
