Chapter 81: Rapid Increase in Realm

Seeing Chen Ansheng’s puzzled expression, Yao Jianyuan explained, “Don’t understand yet? We’re not in a space vortex but in a time vortex that has been compressed! In this vortex, time flows faster because of the compression, and while cultivating here, you won’t feel tired at all; seven years seem to pass in an instant.”

Chen Ansheng began to grasp what he meant!

“No wonder your aura is much stronger than before. Have you reached the True Immortal realm?”

“Yeah!”

Although Yao Jianyuan’s heart had been injured, he was originally at the peak of the Ninefold Immortal realm. In these seven years in the time vortex, it was sufficient for him to step into the True Immortal realm.

“Lucky you!”

Chen Ansheng turned his worry into joy.

However, he still had doubts in his mind and asked, “Brother Yao, how did you calculate that you’ve cultivated for seven years? Moreover, Ninefold Flower Mountain has been cut off from the Immortal Realm and without immortal spiritual energy, how could you cultivate and break through?”

Yao Jianyuan explained, “How to put it… it just feels like you’ve only spent a few hours here. But if you count your pulse rate, breathing frequency, and so on, it’s roughly equivalent to seven years. As for the immortal spiritual energy, we can use the Mo Crystal and the Purple Crystal here!”

Now Chen Ansheng understood, saying, “So that’s it. This really is a great opportunity. I just don’t know how long this vortex will last.”

Yao Jianyuan pondered for a moment, then said, “The time flow doesn’t seem as stable as when I first arrived, so it probably won’t last long. Brother Chen, focus on your cultivation! Here, take these Mo Crystals.”

Seeing Yao Jianyuan hand over several Mo Crystals the size of millstones, Chen Ansheng hesitated for a moment but then accepted them. After all, his Purple Crystals in his storage bag might not be enough. “Thank you, Brother Yao. I’ll borrow them for a while, and once I have more Mo Crystals, I’ll return them to you immediately.”

Yao Jianyuan said, “No need for formalities. Hurry and cultivate! Missing even a quarter of an hour is like missing several months of cultivation!”

Chen Ansheng nodded and stopped talking.

He sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, calmed his mind, and began to invoke the Spirit-Absorbing Technique.

His blood energy circulated rapidly, and the Mo Crystals slowly dissolved, transforming into immortal spiritual power which flowed into Chen Ansheng’s body.

In the blink of an eye, he broke through to the Immortal Six realm!

Immortal Six mid-stage, late-stage, peak… Immortal Seven realm!

When the last of the Mo Crystals was consumed, Chen Ansheng opened his eyes.

Peak of the Immortal Eight realm!

“Ah, nice!”

In Chen Ansheng’s perception, only about eight hours had passed.

But in the time vortex, it equated to eight years of cultivation!

In that time—from peak of Immortal Five to peak of Immortal Eight—this speed was quite impressive!

Yao Jianyuan, sitting nearby, also awoke from his cultivation. He hadn’t improved much, only stabilizing his early True Immortal realm.

After all, once one reached the True Immortal realm, cultivation became more difficult, and the resources consumed would become daunting.

Fortunately for him, after stabilizing his True Immortal realm, his previously damaged heart of Dao had completely healed, and his cultivation talent returned to its original level.

“Disperse.”

Before long, the time flow within the vortex began to stabilize, and it dissipated altogether in less than a quarter of an hour.

The two returned to darkness.

Yao Jianyuan sensed that Chen Ansheng was now at the peak of the Immortal Eight realm and couldn’t help but marvel. This guy’s cultivation talent was certainly on par with his and other geniuses in the cave!

“That Nan Gong Xiu is such a fool. Brother Chen, with your talent, why isn’t she focusing on nurturing you? Letting that Ji Ziling bully you like that is utterly stupid.”

Remembering Chen Ansheng’s experiences, Yao Jianyuan couldn’t help but curse.

He didn’t realize that Chen Ansheng’s talent had only improved recently.

“Ha ha.” Chen Ansheng smiled and said, “It doesn’t matter. I’ve made up my mind to join the Green Flame Cave. As long as they don’t despise me, that’s enough.”

“Who would dare!” Yao Jianyuan blurted out. “Even if you weren’t my friend, such talent should be treated like a star surrounded by the moon. Who would dare look down on you?”

“If that’s true, that would be wonderful. I can calm down and focus on my cultivation.” Chen Ansheng said.

“Absolutely. Don’t worry, with your talent, you won’t even need to take the assessment; those elders will fight to take you as their disciple. But for now, staying alive is more important; let’s hide in the ancestral land!” Yao Jianyuan advised.

After emerging from the time vortex, Chen Ansheng felt the immortal power within him rapidly depleting, causing him great discomfort.

Before leaving, Chen Ansheng sensed the condition of the puppet Li Xiuyuan. He discovered that Li Xiuyuan’s body was still alive. He then used his thoughts to manipulate him, heading towards the ancestral land.

……

About a quarter of an hour later.

Yao Jianyuan led Chen Ansheng to a desolate mountain.

Originally, this place had protective barriers, but now the barriers had completely collapsed.

“Hurry, hurry, the ancestral land is about to close!”

At the entrance of the ancestral cave, several disciples in the True Immortal realm were on guard.

“Okay.”

Yao Jianyuan and Chen Ansheng cupped their hands together and stepped into the ancestral cave ahead.

The ancestral land was established by the four great founding masters of Ninefold Flower Mountain using their great abilities, creating a small world, thus it had not yet been eroded.

Upon entering the ancestral land, Chen Ansheng realized that it was only separated from the outside by a mountain, and he could clearly see everything in the sky outside.

Over a hundred thousand disciples and elders from various caves were sitting around the ancestral land’s site, paying close attention to the situation outside.

Under the dark sky, the black giant bird continued to circle, and the extraordinary elders from various caves took turns attacking but couldn’t kill it. Instead, several elders had fallen, while others were severely injured.

“Look, that’s Lord Mo Wu! He’s making his move!”

At that moment, a purple light streaked across the sky, charging straight at the giant bird.

Master, there’s more to this chapter; please click the next page to continue reading. It gets even more exciting!

“Great! Lord Mo Wu is making a move; he will surely kill that monstrous bird in the forbidden area!”

“As long as that monstrous bird dies, we will have a chance to survive and escape!”

Everyone gazed eagerly at the battle in the sky, and hope for survival ignited in their hearts.

“Everyone, stay where you are and submit to the inspection!”

At that moment, the four cave masters appeared together, with Yao Qingtian shouting, startling the crowd into chaos.

“Shut up! Don’t move recklessly.” Another cave master scolded, then said, “This catastrophic event is due to the evil ones of the demonic path invading the forbidden area. From now on, everyone must undergo inspection until we catch the demonic criminals!”

“It’s the work of demonic path criminals!”

“Damn it! They’ve caused us so much trouble; they must be found!”

“Once caught, they should be executed in the most brutal way!”

The disciples of Ninefold Flower Mountain, upon learning of this, became furious.

“Lord Nan Gong, you also bear significant responsibility for this matter. Give everyone an explanation!”

At this moment, the other three cave masters turned their accusations toward Nan Gong Xiu.

After all, if she hadn’t concealed the matter of the forbidden area, how would the demonic path cultivators have invaded so easily?

“It’s clearly the demonic path’s calamity, so why are you blaming my mother!”

Before Nan Gong Xiu could speak, Ji Ziling rushed forward, looking fierce as she questioned.

“Step back! What kind of rules are these? Since when does a yellow-haired girl like you have a say here!”

Yao Qingtian’s immortal power surged, directly forcing Ji Ziling back several dozen feet.

Coincidentally, Ji Ziling fell right beside Chen Ansheng.
