Time slipped away quietly, and in the blink of an eye, six years had passed.
Chaos Tomb, bottom.
Li Xuan, his body covered in dust, slowly opened his eyes.
"Congratulations, Young Master." As Li Xuan opened his eyes, the Heavenly Dao Brush spoke.
Li Xuan nodded slightly. After six years of absorption, the spiritual energy at the bottom of the Chaos Tomb was depleted.
Li Xuan's realm had advanced to the intermediate level of the Mortal Breaking Realm.
Perhaps due to the special nature of this place, Li Xuan's breakthrough did not trigger a heavenly tribulation.
"Young Master, this place is somewhat unusual. You might want to investigate it thoroughly," the Heavenly Dao Brush said.
Li Xuan furrowed his brows, closed his eyes, and began to sense. The next moment, Li Xuan's eyes snapped open, and he looked around.
There was a gentle breeze!
And this wind was different from the spiritual energy storm above. Sensing this, Li Xuan stood up and quickly walked to the stone wall.
After a thorough examination, a joyful expression appeared on Li Xuan's face.
"After six years in the Chaos Tomb, I never discovered this," Li Xuan said with a wry smile, shaking his head.
On the stone wall, there was a hole the size of a thumb. Those wisps of clear wind were emerging from this hole.
And as they continued to condense, coupled with the unique environment of the Chaos Tomb, it formed the spiritual energy storm that even powerful experts of the Mortal Annihilation Realm had to retreat from.
Furthermore, Li Xuan discovered that the wind speed from the holes at the bottom was not very strong. The higher up, the stronger the wind speed became.
Li Xuan estimated that the holes within a hundred meters would be sufficient to temper his physical body.
Although Li Xuan's physical body was strong enough that it wouldn't improve at this hundred-meter range, Li Xuan believed that at higher altitudes, there would be suitable conditions for tempering his body.
After all, the Chaos Tomb was over five thousand meters deep. Coupled with the effect of the spiritual energy storm, it would be extremely beneficial for physical tempering.
"I'll try it for now," Li Xuan said as he shot upwards.
Seven hundred meters from the bottom of the Chaos Tomb, Li Xuan sat cross-legged on a protruding stone wall.
At this seven-hundred-meter mark, the spiritual energy storm was already formidable. Even with Li Xuan's robust physique, he had to exert his full strength to resist. Coupled with the clear wind that occasionally emerged from the holes in the stone wall, Li Xuan felt as if every acupoint in his body was being tempered with needle-like precision.
As time passed, after a month of tempering at the seven-hundred-meter height, Li Xuan's body gradually adapted. A month of tempering had indeed further strengthened Li Xuan's physique.
Feeling that he could no longer improve, Li Xuan moved further upwards. At eight hundred meters, the spiritual energy storm was even more terrifying. The gusts of spiritual energy storm felt like they were scraping his bones.
In less than ten breaths, small cracks appeared all over Li Xuan's body.
Wisps of blood flowed from the cracks, only to instantly congeal. Then, new cracks appeared, and blood flowed again. Day after day, it was a cycle. In less than half a month, there wasn't a single intact part of Li Xuan's body.
However, what excited Li Xuan was that the tempering over the past half month had made the newly grown flesh and blood even harder and thicker.
Under the spiritual energy storm, the new flesh and blood could now withstand the onslaught of the spiritual energy storm.
Li Xuan believed that once all his flesh and blood had grown anew, his physical body would surely be enhanced again. Li Xuan estimated that at this pace, he might break through his current limitations in just a few more cycles.
"Young Master, you don't mean to cultivate your physical body to the Myriad Manifestation Realm here, do you?" The Heavenly Dao Brush spoke, watching Li Xuan's diligent tempering.
Li Xuan did not reply to the Heavenly Dao Brush. At this moment, Li Xuan was solely focused on tempering.
Buzz.
As another two months passed, the cracks on Li Xuan's body had all healed with new flesh and blood. With a buzzing sound, the scabs on Li Xuan's body shattered and fell off. The tough flesh and blood exuded a powerful life force.
"This place is truly an excellent spot for tempering the physical body!" Feeling the changes in his body, Li Xuan's face beamed with excitement.
The physical body of the Transcendent Realm was already powerful, but Li Xuan was not content. Since arriving on the Boundless Continent, Li Xuan had noticed that the prodigies and powerhouses here had formidable physiques. Given time, they could reach his current strength.
To become stronger, one could only aim for the Myriad Manifestation Realm.
The Chaos Tomb was undoubtedly an ideal place for physical tempering.
"I truly look forward to it," a flicker of longing appeared in Li Xuan's eyes, but it quickly turned to determination.
"Young Master, there seems to be some movement underground," the Heavenly Dao Brush said.
Li Xuan's divine sense immediately shot out upon hearing this, and after sensing it, he also detected the movement.
Boom!
With a thought, Li Xuan descended to the ground and then punched downwards.
The immense force, intentionally maintained by Li Xuan, rapidly vibrated downwards towards the earth's surface. A hole over a meter wide instantly collapsed and caved in. With the appearance of the hole, Li Xuan smiled slightly and leaped directly into it.
Whoosh!
As Li Xuan continued to descend, waves of spiritual energy, incredibly dense with the essence of heaven and earth, rushed towards him.
Li Xuan took a slight breath and felt the depleted spiritual energy within him being replenished. The deeper he went, the more abundant and potent the spiritual energy of heaven and earth became.
The speed of his descent caused this abundant spiritual energy to sting Li Xuan's face.
Hmm?
When Li Xuan descended to over a thousand meters, he suddenly saw a dazzling golden light below.
After Li Xuan stabilized his body, he discovered that below was a vacuum.
What shocked Li Xuan was that a total of nine massive golden spiritual脉s were intertwined, showing signs of merging into one.
Each spiritual脉 was over three thousand meters long and no less than fifty meters wide.
In addition, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which was as substantial as liquid, flowed ceaselessly like thin ice towards the holes in the stone walls above.
"My heavens, Young Master, these are Nine Dragon Spiritual脉s, and they are about to evolve into Immortal-grade Spiritual脉s!" the Heavenly Dao Brush exclaimed.
Looking at the scene before him, Li Xuan's eyes were filled with shock. With the Nine Dragon Spiritual脉s evolving into Immortal-grade Spiritual脉s, the Chaos Spiritual Energy would be even more terrifying.
Spiritual脉s were classified as Mortal Grade, Low Grade, Medium Grade, High Grade, Exquisite Grade, Supreme Grade, Ultimate Grade, Innate Grade, Immortal Grade, and Divine Grade.
Who would have thought that the bottom of the Chaos Tomb contained nine Innate Spiritual脉s.
Staying in such a place for several hundred years, one's strength would improve even without cultivation. Furthermore, after being tempered by the special spiritual energy of this place, one's body would likely transform into a Postnatal Spiritual Body.
After observing for a while, Li Xuan withdrew his gaze.
With these Nine Dragon Innate Spiritual脉s about to evolve into Immortal-grade Spiritual脉s, Li Xuan was naturally willing to wait. Once he could absorb them into his Prison Suppressing Pagoda, it would significantly enhance it.
Li Xuan thought to himself and then sat down cross-legged.
One word: Wait!
