Chapter 910: Chapter 439: The High-Level Fortune Seed Blooms, The Effects of a New Qi Movement!_4

"Why do I feel something is not quite right with you, guy? Is your cultivation seemingly growing?"

Dugu Bo stood aside, his expression one of bewildered suspicion as he looked towards Jiang Yuan.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan suddenly came back to his senses and slowly smiled.

"The student had some gains, hence there is some growth in my cultivation!"

Hearing Jiang Yuan’s words, Dugu Bo’s eyes instantly widened.

"Don’t you dare trick me!"

"Is it that easy for cultivation to grow?"

"And just by having some gains, you would have an increase in cultivation!"

Jiang Yuan looked at the rapidly increasing percentage on his personal status panel and earnestly nodded his head.

"Indeed, it’s not difficult for cultivation to grow!"

"Not difficult?" Dugu Bo had nothing to say as he looked at Jiang Yuan.

After several breaths, he then asked, "Speaking of which, now that you have opened the five great secret realms in your physical body, what realm is your cultivation at?"

Jiang Yuan said, "Cave Realm!"

"Nonsense! Of course, I know you have already opened the Cave Heaven World, thus reaching the Cave Realm!" Dugu Bo retorted back.

Jiang Yuan said, "Alright! This student is now at the Nine Layers of the Cave Realm!"

"What?" Dugu Bo’s eyes suddenly widened, and then he asked again, "Repeat that, which realm did you say?"

"Ninefold Cave Heaven," Jiang Yuan said with an earnest expression.

Dugu Bo: "..."

He looked at Jiang Yuan with a speechless expression until several moments passed.

"You better not be hoodwinking me, lad! How long have you been in the Ancient Heavenly Court ruins?"

"Merely a bit over a week, forget it!"

"How is it possible to directly break through from the Nine Layers of the Four Extremes Realm to the Ninefold Cave Realm! To achieve such a huge leap!"

Seeing Dugu Bo’s firmly convinced demeanor, Jiang Yuan smiled.

It was then that he recalled not having revealed news of his cultivation since coming out.

He also only knew that he was peerless in the Ancient Heavenly Court ruins, and that was merely due to the immense advantage granted by opening the five realms within his flesh body.

Therefore, it was natural for Dugu Bo to disbelieve, as such a breakthrough in cultivation far surpassed commonplace logic!

In the typical logic of cultivation, the further one progresses on the cultivation path, the more difficult it becomes to enhance one’s capabilities, and the more time it requires!

In the earlier realms, it took him nearly a year or half a year to achieve a leap in a big boundary.

Yet this time, the leap across a big boundary only took him a bit more than a week.

This speed shattered the norm, completely defied reason!

It was quite normal for Dugu Bo to disbelieve for a while.

Without such a special environment, it would’ve been impossible for him to slay demon saints like butchering chickens, and without those demon saints and Demon Kings as his cultivation resources, he couldn’t have achieved such a rapid leap in the big boundary.

"Dean, please look!"

As Jiang Yuan’s words fell, the aura of Ninefold Cave Heaven suddenly and completely unfurled from his body.

"How... how is this possible!!"

Dugu Bo was greatly astonished.

Even with his composure, he couldn’t maintain his inner calm at this moment.

A whole big level’s leap from the Nine Layers of the Four Extremes Realm to the Ninefold Cave Realm had taken just slightly over a week.

Such efficiency completely broke his understanding, something even regular cultivators wouldn’t dare to fantasize about.

If it were not for the stark reality before his eyes, he would never have believed it.

In comparison, the accounts in myths seemed more realistic than this event.

After several breaths.

Dugu Bo took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart.

"How did you manage this?"

Before Jiang Yuan could speak, Dugu Bo added, "Was it by relying on that shortcut and your mastery of the Devouring Dao?"

Jiang Yuan immediately nodded, "Dean guessed right! It is indeed by relying on that shortcut known to all mortals and my mastery of the Devouring Dao that I could achieve such efficient breakthroughs."

"Remarkable, truly remarkable!" Dugu Bo sighed deeply.

Then he added, "Such speed in breaking through a realm is rare in history; perhaps your speed at this realm has surpassed all records in history."

Jiang Yuan said, "Even if it’s as Dean said, there’s no cause for pride in it!"

"The path of cultivation is long and full of obstacles, and a moment’s swiftness doesn’t mean anything!"

"Only by reaching higher and going further can one truly succeed!"

Hearing Jiang Yuan’s words, Dugu Bo immediately exclaimed.

"How rare! For you to be so humble and earnest in your performance!"

"It’s truly rare!"

"But it’s a pity!"

A deep sense of regret then appeared in his eyes.

Jiang Yuan asked, "What does Dean mean by ’a pity’?"

Dugu Bo sighed deeply, "The pity is the current state of the world, with the Ultimate World Passage closed, and the hope of becoming an immortal dashed."

"Such outstanding talent being born in this era is truly too wasteful, such a gem left unpolished!"

"Even if you reach the absolute peak of the Human Realm, you only have a lifespan of ten thousand years."

"After ten thousand years, no matter how brilliant or dominant you are, you will eventually pass away, and your Dao will vanish."

"Everything will return to dust, and to earth!!"

"If only you were born in the Ancient Times, when humans and immortals coexisted—a time when with your talent, you could have certainly attained immortality and shone brilliantly in the upper realm, becoming a supreme existence!"

"In this era, it’s a tremendous waste given your talent."

Hearing this, Jiang Yuan simply smiled lightly.

He didn’t disagree with Dugu Bo’s remarks, but that was in reference to others.

For himself, it was a completely different matter.

With his experience, that Purple-level [Longevity Without Boundary]—if upgraded to the Red level with the property of transcendence—most likely meant enjoying eternal life with infinite lifespan.

In that light, lifespan would carry no restrictive meaning to him.

Jiang Yuan then spoke up, "Dean is overthinking things, one brilliant lifetime is enough!"

"How many in the world can reach even this step?"

"Having reached this step, what is there not to be content with?"

"Moreover, no one can predict the future!"

"Perhaps before long, within our lifetime, we may see the Heavenly Gate reopen and the realms reconnect. Then, people from the Lower Realm can ascend to immortality and step into the Immortal Path Domain, with their lifespan increasing dramatically."

"Or perhaps, within my lifetime, I might carve out another path—in this seemingly impossible era—to take the Flesh Body Path to its limit, living as long as Heaven and Earth, shining as brightly as the sun and the moon—it might not be impossible!"

Hearing this, Dugu Bo immediately praised him.

"Good! It’s great that you harbor such lofty aspirations! Perhaps you really will achieve the accomplishments you speak of!"

"After all, judging by your performance up to now, there may only be a few throughout the countless ages who could compare with you!"

"Since the world has produced a heaven genius like you, how could your existence be as transient as the Supreme ones who flash across the sky like shooting stars! Perhaps you truly can carve out a different path."

Jiang Yuan smiled upon hearing this, then he looked at his Status Panel.

The effects of the five hundred units of Power of Merit had ended, and the abundant origin of the world had been thoroughly absorbed and refined by his Cave Heaven; his cultivation growth had also come to a complete stop.

[Realm]: Ninefold Cave Heaven (80.99%)

Having looked at his Status Panel, Jiang Yuan nodded in satisfaction.

The unexpected gain of five hundred units of Power of Merit had boosted his cultivation substantially, bringing him one step closer to the perfection of the Cave Realm.

His capabilities had increased slightly as well.

After returning to the Five Realms and Four Seas, as long as he exchanged the holy soldiers in his possession for cultivation resources, he could easily reach the perfection of the Cave Realm.

Crossing the Catastrophe to become a Saint would then just be a matter of course.

Jiang Yuan withdrew his gaze, closed the panel, and silently waited for Ye Chanxi to finish.
