Chapter 163 - 163 Sudden Enlightenment and Breakthrough
He had now cultivated the comprehensive intent all over his body and the Saint Fire Mantra. He had the sword seed cultivation heart, the sword spirit, the phoenix fire, and the Fire Dragon Sword, and had comprehended the great momentum of heaven and earth. No matter which one he took out, he would be known as the most powerful heaven’s favorite in the world!
But now, everything was focused on Zhou Yun! Even Ling Qingyun’s gaze toward Zhou Yun became a little off.
However, this was not enough! What Zhou Yun wanted to do wasn’t to become a heaven’s favorite expert who had yet to mature. He wanted to become a true expert because only after he became an expert could he truly face Xin Yu. Only then would he have the chance to leave this world.
“The late-stage foundation establishment is already very close to the golden core stage. The early-stage foundation establishment cultivates the amount of spiritual energy, while the mid-stage cultivates the balance of the body and spiritual energy. In the late-stage foundation establishment, I’m already approaching the golden core stage. My main cultivation is the indestructible golden core and the transformation of the golden core body.” Zhou Yun recalled the explanation that Ling Qingyun had given him before he left. He slowly immersed his divine sense into his body.
“To put it bluntly, the late-stage foundation establishment focuses on the body! This is also the reason why cultivators can greatly increase their rate of rebirth after reaching the late-stage foundation establishment and the golden core stage. Before that, the cultivation level is to increase the level of spiritual energy. The body is extremely fragile, and it would break with a touch, dying easily. After the late-stage foundation establishment, I’ll start preparing for the golden core to temper my body. My physique will be strengthened and I’ll be able to take a beating even more!” After listening to Ling Qingyun’s explanation, Zhou Yun was now extremely confident in breaking through to the late-stage foundation establishment. He believed that he would definitely be able to break through perfectly!
Zhou Yun’s divine sense had already descended upon him. Zhou Yun’s current body had completely transformed into the Saint Fire Body, which was completely different from that of ordinary cultivators. The number of meridians had decreased, but the strength of the body was many times stronger than that of ordinary people!
“My body is no longer suitable for the breakthrough method of ordinary cultivators. I still need to become stronger! What I need is a breakthrough method that matches the powerful Saint Fire Body! No, I must be stronger! Otherwise, I won’t have a chance to defeat Xin Yu!” Zhou Yun shook his head. He decisively gave up on the method Ling Qingyun had taught him. He began to search for a breakthrough method that was unique to him.
“It seems that I can only rely on the Enlightenment System to comprehend a new breakthrough method this time. Otherwise, I won’t be able to fully display my solid foundation.” Zhou Yun said with a bitter smile. He didn’t expect that he would have such a happy problem when his foundation was too good. “Don’t tell me that I’ll have to find my own way to break through every time after this?”
When Zhou Yun had broken through to the foundation establishment stage, he had obtained the Spiritual Qi Mantra that he could cultivate on his own. It had also raised his own spiritual energy and physique to a level that ordinary cultivators could not dream of reaching.
When he broke through to the mid-stage foundation establishment, he forcibly shaped the Saint Fire Body, which strengthened his talent even more!
“I wonder if there will be any more accidents when I break through to the late-stage foundation establishment?” Zhou Yun recalled his growth process. He seemed to have taken an unorthodox path, but the results were surprisingly good.
“System, help me understand the way to break through. I want to achieve enlightenment in the direction of stimulating my potential to the greatest extent.” Zhou Yun thought for a moment. Whether he was in the Qi cultivation stage or the foundation establishment stage, he had always been strengthening his foundation. Perhaps it was time for him to unleash all of his potentials.
Whether it was the battle against Xin Yu or the golden core body tempering, Zhou Yun should be able to stimulate all his potential.
He needed to be strong to face Xin Yu!
The golden core body tempering was also known as the cultivator’s first rebirth and was also known as the cultivator’s cultivation level reset. At that time, their talent and physical aptitude would be reset, allowing those cultivators with weak talent and physique to catch up in one go. That was why the strength of the golden core stage cultivators was so equal.
Zhou Yun didn’t want his foundation to be wasted just like that. He had to reset himself. Therefore, he had to increase his strength in advance!
“Alright, most handsome master. The moment of enlightenment begins!” A familiar and pleasant female voice sounded in Zhou Yun’s mind. Zhou Yun was already extremely familiar with this voice.
Recently, Zhou Yun had been in the Enlightenment State during almost every cultivation session. Not only was he able to focus more on his cultivation, but he was also able to comprehend better cultivation techniques from time to time.
However, frequent enlightenment would still cause a great burden on the mind. Zhou Yun had no other choice. If he had not been constantly pressured by Xin Yu, Zhou Yun would not have been able to undergo enlightenment despite knowing that it would be a burden to his spirit.
“I hope that after this battle, my cultivation life won’t be so difficult and tiring.” Zhou Yun grumbled in his heart. Then, he entered the Enlightenment State.
“I need to unleash all my potential now. The first is the amount of spiritual energy. As I continue to cultivate, my spiritual energy is almost a hundred times that of an ordinary cultivator! Maybe I can compress the amount of spiritual energy to increase its quality and thus increase my battle power!
“The second is my body. When I was cultivating the Saint Fire Mantra, I had the Saint Fire Body, which made me stronger than ordinary cultivators. Perhaps I can use the Saint Fire Mantra to improve it and add a function that allows me to use the strange flames to continuously forge my body while the Saint Fire Mantra passively enhances my strength. This will allow my body to become stronger at all times!
“The third is my understanding. What I’ve comprehended now is almost all the comprehensive intent in my body, and I’ve combined it into a powerful secret technique that’s full of comprehensive intent. Perhaps I can try to cultivate this secret technique along with the great momentum of heaven and earth. By mixing the comprehensive intent in my body with the great momentum of heaven and earth, I might be able to greatly enhance my combat power!”
Snippets of knowledge flashed through Zhou Yun’s mind rapidly. Then, he quickly filtered out the points and summarized the ways for him to become stronger!
This time, Zhou Yun was looking for a breakthrough that was different from the rest. But more than that, it stimulated his foundation! Therefore, he might not have taken the risk to break through as he did with the Saint Fire Body.
However, Zhou Yun was certain that after this breakthrough, his gains would definitely not be any less than when he broke through to the mid-stage foundation establishment!
“The first key is the compression of spiritual energy!” Zhou Yun’s expression was serious.
Spiritual energy could be classified into three states: gas, liquid, and solid. If the spiritual energy was purified, perhaps ordinary cultivators would think of turning the spiritual energy into liquid form.
At that time, wouldn’t the cultivator’s body turn into liquid spiritual energy? How would they be able to cultivate?
However, only Zhou Yun knew. With his powerful control over his body and the keen senses of the Saint Fire Body, he could sense the degree of spiritual energy in the world!
Every strand of spiritual energy was mixed with many impurities! If these impurities could be separated, then the quality of spiritual energy would be raised to a terrifying level!
“The first purification of spiritual energy, begin!” Zhou Yun chanted in his heart!
