On the twentieth day, Yuan Ruochu, Ji Jingtian, Yu Ziyu, and Jun Yichen emanated golden light. They then opened their eyes. Nine golden holy energies swirled around each of their bodies. After assessing their physical condition, the four stared in disbelief.
Jun Yichen spoke first: "I actually reached the Quasi-Saint realm? Not long ago, I was only at the fifth level of the Reincarnation Realm."
Yuan Ruochu and Ji Jingtian were both originally only at the fifth and fourth levels of the Reincarnation Realm, respectively, but now they have suddenly advanced to the Quasi-Saint Realm, which they also find incredible.
Yu Ziyu wasn't as shocked as the others. Before being sealed into slumber, he had already reached the quasi-saint realm; now he was simply returning to his previous cultivation level. However, what was strange was that he could actually cultivate nine strands of saintly energy, which he found very puzzling.
On the twenty-second day, a golden light suddenly shot into the sky from Yuan Haoran's body. The terrifying power forced everyone to retreat, and they couldn't help but marvel at how incredibly powerful Yuan Haoran was.
Then Yuan Haoran opened his eyes, his body surrounded by thirteen strands of holy energy. Yuan Ruochu, Ji Jingtian, Yu Ziyu, and the others looked at Yuan Haoran's thirteen strands of holy energy, feeling as if they were dreaming.
"No, wasn't it said that the highest one can cultivate is nine strands of Saintly Qi? Why does this guy have thirteen? Am I seeing things?" Ji Jingtian said, rubbing his eyes.
After observing the thirteen strands of holy energy surrounding him, Yuan Haoran sensed his own power. He felt his strength and power had increased several times over. Then, his eyes filled with gratitude, he looked at Yuan Zhexian.
At this moment, Yuan Zhexian was still sitting cross-legged in the void.
The banished immortal Yuan knew the world within.
At this moment, Yuan Zhexian's body in his sea of consciousness was surrounded by eighteen strands of holy energy.
However, Yuan Zhexian had a vague feeling that he could still increase his holy energy, but his body was already full. He didn't know where to start trying.
So Yuan Zhexian decided to see if he could gain any insights from the cultivation methods and scriptures he currently knew to make a breakthrough. If all else failed, he could always use his mission points to ask the system for help.
Suddenly, Yuan Zhexian remembered the core cultivation technique of the Yuan clan, One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones, and then, as if his mind had been enlightened, he prepared to give it a try.
"Whoosh."
After Yuan Zhexian's continuous attacks, another burst of holy energy appeared. Then Yuan Zhexian attacked again. Yet another burst of holy energy appeared.
Before long, Yuan Zhexian's body in his sea of consciousness had reached twenty-nine strands of holy energy.
At this moment, Yuan Zhexian knew that this might be his limit. He also understood that this was the limit from ancient times to the present, and it was impossible for anyone to reach or break it.
Twenty-four days had passed outside, and there were still six days left before the Divine Source Secret Realm closed.
Yuan Zhexian opened his eyes. Sensing that his cultivation had reached the quasi-saint realm, he smiled slightly. Looking at the crowd, seeing that their strength had improved, he slowly floated down from mid-air.
Yuan Haoran then asked, "Divine Child, how many strands of Saintly Qi have you cultivated? Why do I have thirteen strands of Saintly Qi?"
At this moment, everyone gathered around, wanting to hear Yuan Zhexian's insights.
Yuan Zhexian did not answer Yuan Haoran's first question, but directly answered his second question: "As far as I know, in the era of creation, there were many forbidden geniuses. At that time, in order to distinguish the strength of these forbidden geniuses, we have what you know now: peerless, supreme, and invincible."
"However! Each forbidden level also has its strengths and weaknesses, so it is divided into nine grades corresponding to the nine ranks of the realm."
"Cultivating nine strands of sacred energy is only for those who are invincible within the forbidden realm. Subsequently, those who are invincible within the first tier can cultivate ten strands of sacred energy, those who are invincible within the second tier can cultivate eleven strands of sacred energy, and so on."
"The order of cultivating sacred energy is as follows: essence, energy, spirit, heart, liver, spleen, stomach, and kidneys, the so-called Three Flowers Gathering at the Top and Five Qi Returning to the Origin. Finally, the so-called Nine Paths of Sacred Energy are cultivated with oneself as the core. Then, with the body as the core, the four limbs and five senses are cultivated. A total of eighteen paths of sacred energy can be cultivated."
"Eighteen strands of sacred energy—who knows how powerful one would become if cultivated?" The crowd couldn't help but feel a sense of longing.
Then Yuan Zhexian continued, "I just injected a stream of earth essence into the golden energy isolation array. With your talents and abilities, you should all be able to share a stream of earth essence. So now all of your talents and abilities have improved."
"Due to their physical constitutions, Brother Haoran, Brother Ruochu, Brother Ziyu, as well as Jingtian and Yichen, each of them must use a portion of authentic essence to enhance their innate talents."
"So that's it! No wonder I felt like my talent had suddenly improved." Everyone now realized the truth.
"Then, Divine Child, how much Holy Qi do you possess now?" Yuan Haoran asked again.
"Me? Twenty-nine, so-so." Yuan Zhexian said with a grin.
"Two, twenty-nine questions?"
So-so.
If it weren't for the fact that everyone was no match for Yuan Zhexian, they would have all swarmed him and given him a good beating.
"Yes, it's twenty-nine, you heard me right," Yuan Zhexian said again.
Seeing everyone's eyes widen as if they were about to pop out, Yuan Zhexian explained, "Originally, I cultivated eighteen strands of holy energy at once, but I had a feeling that I could cultivate even more. So I studied all the cultivation techniques and scriptures. Finally, a technique from my clan called One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones gave me an epiphany."
"Then I tried to break through the three souls and seven spirits. I wanted to see if I could cultivate a holy body. In the end, I succeeded and cultivated ten strands of holy energy."
"Only twenty-eight strands of holy energy? There's only one strand left, Divine Child," Yuan Yan'er asked.
“Here.” Yuan Zhexian pointed to the space between his eyebrows, “A wisp of holy energy has also been cultivated in the sea of consciousness, making a total of twenty-nine. I think no one can break this rule anymore. Twenty-nine is already the limit.”
Then Yuan Zhexian added, "It is also best not to attempt to challenge the three souls and seven spirits. One wrong move and you may be doomed to eternal damnation, or even die and have your soul extinguished."
After Yuan Zhexian finished speaking, everyone subconsciously shrank back.
Yuan Haoran then said, "Who would joke about their own three souls and seven spirits for no reason? It's probably only you, Divine Child, who succeeded. Your feat is probably unprecedented and will likely never be repeated."
Even Yuan Haoran, who possessed an innate sacred body and Dao embryo, dared not attempt to use his three souls and seven spirits to challenge the sacred energy.
"Alright, now that everyone has cultivated holy energy and greatly increased their strength, let's head to the central core area and entertain some old friends." Yuan Zhexian said, revealing a wicked smile.
Outside the Divine Source Secret Realm, a huge light screen displayed the scene at the core. The patriarchs of various forces stared intently at the light screen, searching for the whereabouts of their disciples.
Yuan Xun, on the other hand, remained relatively calm, sitting cross-legged in the void, drinking wine with the other two patriarchs.
"It's been twenty-five days already, and not a single member of my clan has shown up. What has the Divine Child been doing all this time?"
Yuan Xun calmly replied, "Don't worry, what's there to be afraid of with the Immortal here?"
Then, staring at the light screen, he said, "Look, here come the immortals."
