As Mo Wuji had anticipated, Baisen and Beifang Jian were not followed by retaliation from the Minghan Empire after he drove them away from Tianji Mountain. Everything was quiet and peaceful.

With the help and promotion of many merchants, and more importantly, under the offensive of large amounts of gold coins, countless construction workers flocked to Tiankou Town.

The reconstruction of Tiankou Town also began, completely according to Mo Wuji's plan. Mo Wuji couldn't design blueprints, but he only needed to plan it out and require Tiankou Town to be rebuilt according to his plan.

The newly built Tiankou Town was dozens of times larger than the original one. Both the outside of Tiankou Town and the Tiankou Square within it were built with the best materials and the largest area possible.

Pu Qian and Zhuang Yan only took a look. The main task of construction was handed over by Pu Qian to the merchant Fang Changxu. As for how Fang Changxu would build it, he wouldn't care, as long as he followed Mo Wuji's plan.

For Fang Changxu, he also loved this job very much. It was much safer than running business routes, and the rewards he received were several times higher. So he tried his best to do this well, so as not to displease the Tianji Sect immortals who protected them.

Mo Wuji did not start rebuilding the main peak of Tianji Sect. He only planted a spiritual vein, arranged an intermediate spirit gathering array, and then let Sang Yiping and Nie Zhengong go into seclusion. He himself began to break through to the Yuan Dan realm.

In fact, after he opened up the one hundred and second meridian on the Wentian Ladder, he was already half a foot across the threshold of the Yuan Dan realm.

It was just that he had been running around and had no time to stop and cultivate, so he had been on the edge of the Transcending Mortality realm.

This time, taking advantage of a short period of stability and having a spiritual vein to provide spiritual energy, Mo Wuji had the opportunity to break through to the Yuan Dan realm.

Taking out the *Immortal Mortal* manual he had exchanged for, Mo Wuji sent the Yuan energy from his one hundred and two meridians into the patterns on the thick cover of the *Immortal Mortal* at the same time. One hundred and two Yuan energy streams flowed into the patterns, forming one cycle after another within the patterns, colliding with each other.

A familiar rustling sound rang out. This was the sound of Yuan energy driving the pages. Even though it was the second time, Mo Wuji was still a little excited.

He let go, opened the original thick cover, which had become thinner. Ten new pages appeared in front of him, showing the cultivation route for the Yuan Dan realm.

After his excitement subsided, Mo Wuji began to study the cultivation route for the Yuan Dan realm. After a day passed, Mo Wuji put away the *Immortal Mortal* and began to frantically absorb spiritual energy to break through to the Yuan Dan realm.

This time, he didn't even use the Spirit Gathering Pill. The spiritual energy absorbed by one hundred and two meridians at the same time formed a powerful vortex. This violent spiritual energy shouldn't need the support of the Spirit Gathering Pill to send him into the Yuan Dan realm.

If he still couldn't advance to the Yuan Dan realm this time, he would prepare to refine the Spirit Gathering Pill.

"Boom boom boom!" Rolling spiritual energy turned into Yuan energy and began to surge through the one hundred and two meridians in one cycle after another.

At first, these surges were like tiny waves, but later they connected into violent tides. These tides washed over Mo Wuji's body again and again, washing over every one of his meridians.

The Human Extremity Spiritual Rhythm Dao Ring in Mo Wuji's body became clearer and thicker, and a powerful spiritual rhythm aura overflowed directly from his body.

Mo Wuji was completely unaware of all this, as he was completely immersed in the process of his strength skyrocketing.

In the two rooms next to Mo Wuji's, Sang Yiping and Nie Zhengong were completely stunned. They were also in seclusion, and their strength was already rising fast enough by cultivating on the spiritual vein with the Spirit Gathering Array set up by their Sect Leader. If nothing unexpected happened, Nie Zhengong would be confident of breaking through the eighth level of Transcending Mortality and advancing to the ninth level in three months.

But now, they felt waves of clear spiritual rhythm coming over, allowing them to cultivate within this wonderful spiritual rhythm range. At this moment, they could even clearly feel the aura of the Dao. This aura made them more clearly aware of their cultivation direction at every moment, and the skyrocketing of their strength shocked even themselves.

In just one month, Mo Wuji had not yet broken through to the Yuan Dan realm, but Nie Zhengong took the lead in breaking through to the Yuan Dan realm without using a Spirit Gathering Pill. Sang Yiping also advanced from the fifth level of Transcending Mortality to the sixth level.

Two more months passed, and Nie Zhengong directly advanced from the first level of the Yuan Dan realm to the second level. Sang Yiping, on the other hand, reached the ninth level of the Transcending Mortality realm.

Even if Nie Zhengong and Sang Yiping were fools, they knew that this opportunity was rare. Their rapid advancement was definitely not just because they were sitting on the spiritual vein to cultivate, but more importantly, it might be related to their Sect Leader. They could feel a mysterious trace of the Great Dao, which was causing their strength to skyrocket.

"Crack!" Three months later, the clear Human Extremity Spiritual Rhythm Ring in Mo Wuji's body suddenly shattered, and a golden core the size of a baby's fist floated in his Dantian.

The golden core was surrounded by a faint spiritual rhythm ring, and powerful Yuan energy poured in. Mo Wuji suppressed the joy in his heart. He knew that he had crossed the Human Extremity realm and arrived at the Earthly realm Yuan Dan stage.

Dense spiritual energy was still being frantically swept up by Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji knew that after forming the golden core, he had to stabilize his cultivation.

Several more days passed, and just as Mo Wuji felt that his Yuan Dan had stabilized, he tried to agitate his Yuan energy. The Yuan energy in his body rolled slightly, and a terrifying Yuan energy power burst out, giving Mo Wuji a sense of unparalleled security.

Just as Mo Wuji was still immersed in the joy of his increased strength, he suddenly heard another faint cracking sound. Mo Wuji clearly felt that the Yuan Dan in his body cracked, and a faint trace appeared.

What was going on? Mo Wuji was shocked. How could the Yuan Dan he had just formed be shattering? He naturally knew that he was not shattering his golden core because he was about to advance to the True Lake realm.

To advance to the True Lake realm, one needed to be at least at the ninth level of the golden core stage. He had just advanced to the Yuan Dan realm and had not even completely stabilized the first level. How could he be at the ninth level? "Crack!" While Mo Wuji was still wondering what was going on, his Yuan Dan completely shattered.

Could it be that something went wrong with his cultivation? No, Mo Wuji quickly realized that there was nothing wrong with him. Because after his Yuan Dan shattered, it turned into a ball of purple aura, and the power contained in this purple aura was even stronger than when he had the Yuan Dan.

This...

Even though this was the first time he had advanced to the Yuan Dan stage, Mo Wuji knew that after the Yuan Dan shattered, he would definitely lose all his cultivation and would never continue to see his strength skyrocket.

Mo Wuji tried to continue absorbing spiritual energy and found that his absorption speed was more than twice as fast as when he had the Yuan Dan. As he absorbed more and more spiritual energy, a faint spiritual rhythm ring vaguely appeared around the periphery of the purple aura in his body.

Wasn't this the Human Extremity Spiritual Rhythm Ring he had before, which later shattered and turned into the Yuan Dan, and then formed on the surface of the Yuan Dan? After shattering twice in a row, it was forming again at this time, and the spiritual rhythm it contained was much clearer than before.

Almost at the same time that Mo Wuji's Yuan Dan turned into a purple aura and formed a spiritual rhythm ring, Sang Yiping also clearly felt the true meaning of cultivation. At this moment, she broke through the Transcending Mortality realm and reached the first level of the Yuan Dan realm, without using a Spirit Gathering Pill. Nie Zhengong broke through the second level of the Yuan Dan realm and reached the third level.

But as they broke through, Sang Yiping and Nie Zhengong both found that their cultivation speed had slowed down indefinitely again. The feeling of being able to grasp the spiritual rhythm of cultivation in their hands disappeared, and their cultivation returned to its original speed.

Mo Wuji let out a long roar and shot straight up from the roof of the closed-door cultivation room. A need to release his emotions made him unable to endure slowly walking out of the room.

What did it matter whether he had a Yuan Dan or not? His current strength was at the first level of the Yuan Dan realm, and it was a first level that was much stronger than the first level with the Yuan Dan.

It was all because he had a ball of purple aura in his body, and there was a mutated spiritual rhythm Dao Ring outside this purple aura.

Mo Wuji punched out, and a rock dozens of feet away from him was blasted into pieces by this punch from a distance.

With just one punch, Mo Wuji knew the difference between the purple aura in his body and the Yuan Dan. The Yuan Dan was powerful, but it would eventually run out of power. But his purple aura Yuan energy was like an endless stream. Even if it was exhausted, it could be quickly replenished from the one hundred and two meridians. Maybe it would run out eventually, but it was several times stronger than a real Yuan Dan.

These were all superficial. He also felt that his purple aura gave him more flexible control over spells.

"Congratulations, Sect Leader!" Nie Zhengong and Sang Yiping's voices came at the same time.

Mo Wuji turned around and saw the two of them, knowing that they had both advanced to the Yuan Dan realm. He looked at Sang Yiping in confusion and asked, "Yiping, Zhengong was originally at the eighth level of Transcending Mortality, not far from the Yuan Dan realm. It's possible to advance to the Yuan Dan realm after cultivating on the spiritual vein for a period of time. But you were only at the fifth level of Transcending Mortality. How could you advance to the Yuan Dan realm so quickly?"

He was indeed a little strange. Sang Yiping's talent was indeed good, but it was far from the talent of the Wentian School. Even with spiritual vein cultivation, she wouldn't advance so quickly. In fact, Mo Wuji planned to have Nie Zhengong enter the Yuan Dan realm in half a year, but he didn't expect both of them to enter the Yuan Dan realm now.

"Sect Leader, not only have I entered the Yuan Dan realm, but I'm also at the third level of the Yuan Dan realm," Nie Zhengong said, suppressing the joy in his heart.

"What's going on?" Mo Wuji didn't understand at all. Even when he cultivated the fastest, it wasn't this fast.

Sang Yiping quickly said, "When we were cultivating, we suddenly felt our cultivation speed increase dramatically. Later, after we came out and asked each other, we realized that it should be related to Sect Leader's cultivation. Sect Leader, are you really cultivating the *Immortal Mortal*?"

Mo Wuji understood. It seemed that when he formed and shattered the golden core, forming the purple aura, the spiritual rhythm of cultivation dissipated and was sensed by the two of them.

"That's right, I am indeed cultivating the *Immortal Mortal*. What a pity. If I had known it would have this effect, I would have called Pu Qian and Zhuang Yan to cultivate as well," Mo Wuji said with some regret.
