After his conversation with his master Xiao Lingyue, Gao Yan's heart underwent several changes.
Moreover, Xiao Lingyue also told him some things about the two realms of Void Insight and Dao Integration.
First of all, improving one's cultivation level and realm in the Void Transformation stage requires not only a large number of spirit stones, but also a large number of law crystals.
Law crystals are extremely rare.
Ordinary forces would never be able to obtain it, and might not even know what it is.
Therefore, to obtain Law Crystals, one must start with powerful forces.
In addition, it is necessary to stabilize the small world of a Void Realm expert.
It also requires many spiritual treasures from heaven and earth.
The birth of spiritual beings in the world is extremely difficult. When this world was first created, there were many such beings in the world.
But after so many years of plundering, these rare treasures of heaven and earth have almost disappeared from the outside world.
Therefore, no matter how powerful a rogue cultivator is, they can only reach the first level of the Void Realm at most.
To reach a higher level, one must rely on a top-tier power like the Nine Saints Sect.
Why has the Eastern Wilderness only had nine top-tier powers over the years?
The reason is simple: what good are spirit stones and cultivation techniques to other cultivation forces? Without law crystals and various spiritual treasures, they can only reach the first level of the Void Realm at most!
As for the Dao Integration Realm, that's something I wouldn't even dare to dream of.
Furthermore, regarding the Dao Integration Realm, to reach this realm, one must comprehend the Great Dao and condense one's own Great Dao.
But comprehending the Great Dao is not something that can be done so easily!
However, powerful forces possess methods to comprehend the Great Dao, namely through large-scale innate secret realms.
Large-scale innate secret realms are derivatives of this world, and they also contain the Great Dao, but this Great Dao is relatively weak and easier to comprehend.
However, the large-scale innate secret realms that have emerged now have long been divided up by various powerful forces, so it's impossible for a rogue cultivator like you to succeed!
Simply put, the cultivation world is now rigidly hierarchical.
All high-level resources are controlled by various powerful forces. As for independent cultivators, even if you are lucky enough to obtain a powerful inheritance, you are still at a disadvantage.
Without advanced resources, you still can't threaten those major powers.
The reason why Master Xiao Lingyue asked Gao Yan to compete for the position of sect leader was because, after becoming the sect leader, one could obtain three resources for breaking through to the Void Realm and resources for achieving Dao Integration!
The Void Realm resources are one thing, but three Dao Integration Realms resources are something that even the five major factions today would be extremely envious of.
These resources were provided by the Nine Sages who founded the sect.
This is why Patriarch Xiahou wanted to turn the Nine Saints Sect into a family-run empire.
If each sect leader were to relinquish even a single resource for achieving Dao Integration, it could potentially allow the Xiahou family to produce a new Dao Integration expert. Over several generations, this could easily increase the number of Dao Integration experts in the Xiahou family to double digits.
Although Gao Yan has a systematic approach.
However, the required benefit value for upgrades is now getting higher and higher.
If he continues to be passive and unwilling to compete, the upgrade process will definitely take a very long time.
But once he enters the fray to compete for the sect leader position, with the support of the other factions, he will be able to obtain more spirit stones.
As for whether the other companies will use him as a pawn.
Haha, they're using him.
Wasn't he also using them?
Who knows who will control whom once he becomes powerful enough?
"It's a pity that in the near future, he and Xiahou Meng are destined to drift further and further apart!"
Gao Yan muttered to himself.
With a thought, Gao Yan found a storage ring in his hand.
He channeled his divine sense into it, and the items inside flashed through his mind. First of all, there were mid-grade spirit stones worth one hundred million low-grade spirit stones!
There were also eight bottles of elixirs.
Upon inspection, all eight bottles of pills were found to be suitable for Nascent Soul cultivators.
What surprised Gao Yan even more was...
There's even a low-grade spiritual treasure longsword!
A single magical artifact is worth at least 1 billion yuan.
So it seems the Xiao family is quite generous.
Of course, his master also helped him get things done.
However, Gao Yan's Kunwu Sword is already a mid-grade spiritual treasure, so this low-grade spiritual treasure longsword is no longer of use.
I'll give it to my junior sister later!
A few more days passed.
Xiao Lingyue called Gao Yan and Yin Yutong to the room and gave them a lecture on cultivation.
In fact, high-sounding words are completely unnecessary.
He cultivates techniques from the system, and has a very deep understanding of them. Moreover, he has already reached the fifth level of the Nascent Soul stage, so he doesn't need to sort out his cultivation.
However, Xiao Lingyue meant well, so Gao Yan pretended to listen attentively throughout the lecture.
Finally, he had a brilliant idea.
After listening to the sermon, he expressed that he had gained profound insights and had seized an opportunity for a breakthrough.
After pretending to be in seclusion for half a month.
He stepped out of the wooden house again, and the aura he displayed had reached the third level of the Nascent Soul stage.
"Great, that's wonderful!"
Seeing Gao Yan break through, Xiao Lingyue was overjoyed, but Yin Yutong's expression was a bit strange, because she already knew that Gao Yan's cultivation was more than just the second level of the Nascent Soul stage.
This display of Nascent Soul Level 3 cultivation was most likely just to deceive his master.
However, seeing how happy her master was, she didn't want to spoil the mood, so she also said a few words of congratulations.
"Yutong, your junior brother entered the sect after you, but he has already surpassed you. You also need to work harder!"
Immediately, Xiao Lingyue turned her head and spoke earnestly to Yin Yutong.
"Master, I will try my best!"
Yin Yutong secretly glared at Gao Yan, while Gao Yan winked at her.
"Good disciple, now that you've broken through to the third level of the Nascent Soul realm, it seems you'll be able to advance to the fifth level in less than twenty years. Tell me, what reward do you want?"
