Sovereign to Immortality

Chapter 101 – Five

The battle at Ox-Head Mountain still attracted the attention of many cultivators in the Mengyu County. From the battle trail left behind at Ox-Head Mountain, it was obvious that there waidden force in the area, and this battle was also a competition between the Martial Realm Cultivator s. There were even spirit techniques that shook the entire cultivation world.

Who was the power that had concealed itself within Ox-Head Mountain? Who was the power that had uprooted him?

The Mengyu County guarding the Ox-Head Mountain at the border of the two counties was severely reprimanded by the Mengyu County. It was said that the position of the guarding the mountain was already in danger, and the Adept Chang Feng intended for the disciples of the families to assume the role of the Wangqiu Town guarding the mountain.

Different from the Mengyu County, the matter of Ox-Head Mountain had stirred up even more waves than the Mengyu County. Before waiting for the Chenyu County to react to this matter, the news of Heaven-Shaken Sect sending a message to denounce his lack of protection had already caused an uproar throughout the entire Chenyu County, to the point where even the large and small powers of Chenyu County had forgotten the cause of this matter. Instead, they focused all of their energy on the Heaven-Shaken Sect’s reprimand of the Chenyu County.

The matter at Ox-Head Mountain could be considered big or small, and could be compared to the different encounters in the two counties, the rumors about the being in a unstable position became more and more intense, and all the large and small forces in Chenyu County started to stir up.

Shortly after, Chenyu County, who was also near the Ox-Head Mountains, guarded Lu Qi. With the incident at the Ox-Head Mountain aeason, he suddenly resigned from his post and without waiting for the various powers of Chenyu County to react, a Heaven-Shaken Sect disciple called Xue Sheng came down from the sky and took his place in the Stone Town.

Very quickly, the news about this Xue Zhen spread across the entire Chenyu County. This inner disciple had the cultivation of the fourth level of the martial arts realm, and was said to be a disciple of a realms of life elder.

Right at the moment when the situation in the Chenyu County was changing, Yang Junshan was actually quietly staying in his uncle’s house and cultivating in seclusion. Originally, Yang Junshan had planned to go to Stone Town to dig out the Heaven’s Glaze mud, but because the Chenyu County was not peaceful recently, and because he had obtained a lot of amylopyrite s from Ox-Head Mountain and didn’t have much with him, Yang Junshan had the intention to cultivate in peace for a while and rush to the fifth level of martial arts realm.

That day, he had coincidentally met Zhang Yueming at the Heaven-Shaken Sect’s side courtyard. At that time, the head of the future “three prodigies” had already cultivated to the highest levels of Mortal Realm. If Yang Junshan’s expectations were not wrong, the reason why Zhang Yueming came to the Chenyu County’s side courtyard to gain experience should already be because he was preparing to charge into martial arts realm.

Initially, Yang Junshan’s cultivation was still at the third stage, but when the Tuo Wu Shan saved him, he was already at the fourth stage. Now that two years had passed and he had gone by to cultivate in the Heaven-Shaken Sect Sect, his cultivation should be at least as strong as Zhang Yueming’s.

As for the last person of the “Three Heroes”, “Idiot” Ouyang Xulin, because he was older than the previous two, he was currently already an early stage in the martial arts realm, and was a cultivator with a dantian opened up already.

Compared to the entire Yuxian in the future, where he would be the true genius of the cultivation world, Yang Junshan’s cultivation was undoubtedly still a level behind theirs. He had to use all his strength to keep up with their footsteps, in order to have the power to protect himself in the future, when the situation changes in the cultivation world.

In order to prevent the pill’s poison from accumulating in his body, every time he consumed a medicinal pellet, he would have to use the Qi and blood in his body to resolve the poison on his own after three to four days. In this way, it would take five days.

However, after Yang Junshan had advanced to the fourth stage, he realized that his body’s ability to expel the pill’s poison was far above his own estimation. Basically, after refining a pellet, it would only take one day to purge most of the pill’s poison from his body.

Yang Junshan was surprised, but he was no longer surprised. After experiencing the rapid healing of his wounds and his extraordinary resistance to miasma, adding another detoxification ability did not seem to be a big deal.

The increase in the speed of Yang Junshan’s cultivation was naturally extremely obvious. Furthermore, during the two days when he was trying to soothe the pill’s poison, he could completely use the amylopyrite to continue cultivating, causing the efficiency of his cultivation to increase even further.

The process of laying down the Immortal Foundation was different from other stages of cultivation, the other stages of cultivation needed to be done step by step, while the establishment of the Immortal Foundation required a large amount of spiritual energy to be replenished, which meant that as long as a cultivator cultivated more, the recovery of spiritual energy would be more complete, and there would be no bottlenecks in the process.

Otherwise, with the cultivation resources accumulated by Yang Junshan, how would it be possible for him to barely need a year to push his cultivation to the Perfection Stage of the fourth stage?

After the battle at Ox-Head Mountain, Yang Junshan had already been in closed-door cultivation for more than two months. He had already polished the Great Circle of the Immortal Foundation firm enough, so it was time for him to step into the fifth stage.

As the name implied, after advancing to the fifth stage of Mortal Realm, a cultivator would naturally be able to cast spells with his bare hands. It was no longer like during the fourth stage, where one would need the help of talismans and other external forces to cast spells.

The main reason is that after advancing to the fifth layer, the immortal roots in a cultivator’s body can link together to form a cycle of spiritual energy circulation. The spiritual energy in the cultivator’s body is no longer rootless, and the spiritual energy contained within the Great Circle of the Immortal Foundation can be used to assist one another, allowing the cultivator to use the spiritual energy in a way that is no longer lacking.

Strictly speaking, when the Immortal Foundation was complete, it could be considered to have advanced to the fifth level, because when the Immortal Foundation was complete, it could completely withstand the spiritual energy consumption required to cast the spell once. However, this was only for cultivators with only one Immortal Foundation, for cultivators with more than two Immortal Roots, re-establishing a connection between them was the sign of advancing to the fifth level.

To other cultivators, they would need to slowly explore this process within their bodies, but to Yang Junshan, it was a familiar one. Adding Yang Junshan’s attainments in the forging of the flesh, this allowed him to avoid detours in the process of re-opening the three Immortal Foundation cores. Furthermore, the speed at which the spirit energy channels were being opened was also relatively fast.

Initially, Yang Junshan thought that relying on the Bone Marrow Immortal Foundation’s spirit energy which was more than two times stronger than normal Immortal Roots, he would be the fastest to open the passage. Unexpectedly, the speed at which he opened the passage was comparable to that of the Bone Marrow Immortal Roots, whereas the Vertebrate Immortal Roots were in the end.

However, when he opened up the surrounding spirit channels, his speed was extremely fast. However, when the path was far away from the Gallbladder Immortal Foundation, and when it extended towards the other two, his speed immediately slowed down, and he finally became one of the three that had the slowest progress.

Yang Junshan was already able to guess that the reason should be because of the six viscera brocade. This body forging legacy that Chen Ji had left him was extremely mysterious, and up until now, he had only grasped the cultivation method of Goliath, but the effect of cultivation was extremely obvious.

This process for ordinary cultivators would require at least three months, or even more, to complete. However, Yang Junshan had only used a little more than a month’s time, and was already nearing the end.

As the six spirit channels connected in twos and threes, Yang Junshan’s body shook, the three Immortal Roots connected to each other, the spirit energy stored within were interconnected, and the two life technique runes engraved on the Immortal Roots of Bile Tools and Spines were lit up one after another, and could be used according to Yang Junshan’s wish.

He had finally mastered the celestial spell at the fifth stage of the Mortal Realm!

Yang Junshan suddenly opened his eyes, the middle finger of his right thumb pressed down as he shouted, “Break!”

Bang!

Ten meters away, a depression appeared in the middle of the door that was made of a large piece of bluestone. Cracks spread out in all directions like spider webs.

Yang Junshan jumped out of the cultivation room, his figure jumping like a fierce tiger. He arrived at the large azure stone door, pushed open the one foot thick stone door, and threw in a beam of sunlight from outside the cultivation room.

Yang Junshan walked out of the cultivation room, and the stone door behind him slightly shook the instant he slowly closed it. “Hualala”, a large piece of stone the size of a grape splashed onto the ground, and an additional hole of one foot in diameter appeared in the center of the stone door.

The surging spirit energy circulated within his body, and two innate techniques that he had long successfully cultivated could be cast at his will. This was the first time since his rebirth that Yang Junshan felt that he finally possessed some weak self-protection power.

Yang Junlu and Yang Junkai were a little anxious these two days. Ever since they took Yang Junshan to Heaven-Shaken Sect’s courtyard, the two brothers started to think about the spirit materials Yang Junshan had collected recently.

However, ever since they had returned from the county, Yang Junshan had never brought this matter up again. However, these two brothers thought that they had the “Master Fei” method, so Yang Junshan would sooner or later request them. Naturally, they were not too anxious.

However, something had happened a few days ago. The Spirit Grass planted by the middle tier Ling Tian in their third uncle Yang Tiangang’s family had finally ripened after more than two years of raising, and there were thousands of them. Yang Tianchen had long since set his eyes on these things.

The reason he spent so much effort to find the seed for the Scarlet Flame Grass for his second brother was not because of the 30% harvest, but because he wanted to sell all of Yang Tianchen’s spirit herbs to the Heaven-Shaken Sect. This way, he could not only use these spirit herbs to express his abilities to the Heaven-Shaken Sect, but also to get a share of the benefits.

After the Sky Spirit Grasses matured, Yang Tiangang had sent over 30% of the Scarlet Flame Grass’ harvests, almosundred of them, and then there were no more. Forget about the thousands of Spirit Grasses among the middle grade three Ling Tian, he didn’t even bring over a few hundred of the Scarlet Flame Grass’ harvests.

Yang Tianchen anxiously asked Yang Qinghu the reason why he sent over the Spirit Grass, then he found out that there was someone who bought it from Yang Tiangang aigh price, because of this, Yang Tianchen became furious and scolded Yang Tiangang, who was not fit to be his mother’s brother. He knew that he was at the critical point of breaking through to the fourth level of the martial arts realm, but he did not extend his hand to help, so the two brothers took note of everything, afraid that there would be some problems with Yang Junshan, and the benefits they obtained immediately flew away.
