Chapter 127: The Endless Road of Cultivation (1/2)
Black Cloud City, the Nie clan
After asking the An clan, Pan Tao, Jiang Lingzhu, and the others to spread the news that one of the Heaven Gates was about to appear in the hell sect, Nie Tian went back to his roo whole-heartedly
He had beeninto the Heaven Gate
Ever since he learned from Hua Mu that one of the Heaven Gates would open up somewhere near the hell sect, and that Qi warriors of the Lesser Heaven, Heaven, and Greater Heaven stages froether, he had been secretly readying hiically
Cultivators of the Realm of Flame Heaven weren’t the only ones that would step into that miraculous heaven and earth; powerful coh the other two Heaven Gates and also participate in the trial
However, he was only in the early Lesser Heaven stage, the weakest aes If he entered the unknown dimension with his current cultivation base, he would be like a lamb in the middle of a pack of wolves
Therefore, he needed to ith as ed in theIncantation and a spirit stone to take in the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, trying to sense even the es to his spiritual sea
Inside hisslowly, unceasingly attracting and refining the y scattered within his spiritual sea
He gathered his attention and examined the vortex with his soul He found that after a round of refiney that had been pulled into the vortex of spiritual power seemed to have become even purer and richer
The newly refined spiritual energy flowed to the edge of the spiritual sea and formed a circular ribbon of thick, white mist
With a closer exay was exceptionally condensed and vigorous, and the power it contained was rather fory that hadn’t been refined was also scattered around in the spiritual sea, but it waslearned the movements within his spiritual sea and the process of how the vortex of spiritual power refined the spiritual energy, he gained a better understanding of cultivation at the Lesser Heaven stage
After stepping into the Lesser Heaven stage, due to the forathering the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth had becoe
The gathered spiritual energy would initially be attracted into the vortex of spiritual power Then, the vortex of spiritual poould refine the energy,it purer
After refinee of the spiritual sea, fore, a cultivator’s spiritual sea wouldn’t expand at all, but instead, the spiritual energy within his or her spiritual sea would undergo round after round of refiney would flow to the furthest edge of the spiritual sea, for and pressing toward the center
Throughout the refining process, the vortex of spiritual poould also continuously attract spiritual energy froy scattered within the spiritual sea
He found that the unceasingly rotating vortex of spiritual power seeathered faint spiritual energy fros and purified it ti, the exceptionally rich and condensed spiritual energy would sink to the bottoe of the spiritual sea again
By condensing at the edge of the spiritual sea, the circular ribbon of refined spiritual energy would press the relatively sparse spiritual energy toward the “o a new round of refine recently entered the Lesser Heaven stage, Nie Tian hadn’t finished his first cycle yet
After a period of concentrated practice, he had only y at the farthest edge of his spiritual sea
He still had a long road ahead before he could co cycle of his spiritual sea
According to his calculations, if he continued to cultivate with spirit stones, he would probably still need half a year to finish his first refining cycle
And that was the speed he could only reach with the help from spirit stones
In case there weren’t a steady supply of spirit stones, and he merely relied on the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, he would very likely need to spend three to five years to co cycle of all the faint spiritual energy scattered in his spiritual sea
Moreover, in order to step froe of Lesser Heaven, he h more than one complete cycle of refine off into the pitch-black night sky, he couldn’t help but let out a sigh “This is such a consu since heard that the Qi Refining stage wasthe Lesser Heaven stage, one would be considered as a beginner Qi warrior
The difficulty of every breakthrough of the cultivation base after stepping into the Lesser Heaven stage would far exceed that of the breakthroughs within the Qi Refining stage
Before, he didn’t have a deep understanding of it Now that he had advanced to the Lesser Heaven stage, and understood theprocess within his spiritual sea, he finally truly realized the hardshi+ps lying in front of hie of the spirit stones that ht, I’ll still need at least half a year to finish one cycle of refining the spiritual energy in my spiritual sea
“Furtherh I’ll have to keep practicing and practicing
“It ht take years to finish several cycles, and by that time I would only be able to reach the threshold of the next breakthrough
“In order to ht htenment
“From the look of it, I’ve only made the first step in my endless cultivation path”
Numerous, mixed emotions rose in Nie Tian’s heart
Aside fro cultivation, a Qi warrior also needed to learn and practice spiritual incantations, try to coht spiritual tool, and try to resonate with it
Due to their unique talents or interest, so equipical symbols and spell formations
Each and every one of the ways to i, and required intense study
On the other hand, the lifespan of a Qi warrior wasn’t limitless, and would only increase as his or her cultivation base rose
Many Qi warriors failed to break through into the next cultivation level before their lifespan ran out, and therefore passed away
He had the feeling that hissuch a thorny proble off into the moonless, dark sky, Nie Tian h speed and advancing rapidly will I be able to constantly increase my lifespan and thus continue with my cultivation”
