Chapter 863: Breaking Through to Golden Immortal

Chapter 863 -861: Breaking Through to Golden Immortal

Dual-Colored Grotto Heaven, just as its name implied.

The boundless sky displayed the distinct yet closely interwoven colors of black and white. It resembled a black-and-white Yin-Yang scroll unrolled across the heavens, endlessly generating a rich density of heaven and earth’s Yin and Yang energies.

Whether in Daqian, the Spirit Realm, or the Immortal Realm, Yin and Yang energies were one of the fundamental forces guiding all life transformations between heaven and earth.

The only difference lay in their intensity and purity.

Life nurtured in the Immortal Realm was inherently countless times stronger in essence than that in Daqian or the Spirit Realm.

To the naked eye, the Yin-Yang scroll appeared to be writhing.

Below lay a vast expanse. Treasure pools dotted the landscape, radiating various lusters: bronze, silver, gold, and purple. They sparkled with dazzling brilliance. Swirling vapor filled the treasure pools, condensing into a majestic and astonishing immortal mist that lingered in the surroundings, instinctively inciting greed and a desire to claim them.

“Let’s go. We get to pick first.”

“Hahaha, this is amazing.”

“Even the bronze pools are of great benefit to those at the Peak of Celestial Immortal. This time, the lowest grade available to us is the silver pool. We’ve hit the jackpot.”

“All thanks to Xu Yang.”

“This is absolutely our most glorious moment.”

The excited voices of the cultivators overlapped. Under Chen Yingchuan’s lead, they were the first to arrive at the edge of the treasure pools.

“As the first place, we have nine purple pools, eighteen golden pools, and eight silver pools.” Looking at the crowd, Chen Yingchuan said in a deep voice, “Entering the purple pools will be Lo Peng, Liou Sanqian, Xu Yang…”

He quickly rattled off nine names. No one had any objections.

These nine were the strongest in the tower, all at the Middle Stage of Golden Immortal. However, Chen Yingchuan himself was not among them.

Hearing this, Xu Yang was quite surprised.

Although Chen Yingchuan was at the Late Stage of Golden Immortal, how could he walk away empty-handed after coming here?

Beside him, Liou Sanqian seemed to see through his thoughts and sent a telepathic message. “Most of the Tower Masters are at the Late Stage of Golden Immortal. While the purple pools are impressive, they wouldn’t offer them much of a boost. Even though the Tower Masters don’t take a pool, they can absorb the source of Yin and Yang energies here.

“The Yin and Yang energies within the Grotto Heaven originate from the origin of the starry sky. This source of Yin and Yang is their greatest opportunity. It fortifies their foundation and strengthens their immortal veins and immortal foundation. It might not improve their cultivation base significantly right now, but it will be of tremendous benefit when they step into the Golden Immortal Extreme Realm in the future.”

“I see,” Xu Yang replied. Realization dawned on him, and he subconsciously glanced up at the black-and-white Yin-Yang scroll covering the sky.

For Chen Yingchuan, simply entering this place was enough; there was no need to waste a spot in a treasure pool.

Next were the eighteen spots for the golden pools.

There weren’t even eighteen Early Stage of Golden Immortal cultivators among them, so a few of the strongest at the Peak of Celestial Immortal were added. It was widely expected that they would undoubtedly break through to the Golden Immortal Realm.

The final eight silver pools went to the remaining eight cultivators at the Peak of Celestial Immortal.

“Let’s begin.”

With the allocation complete, Chen Yingchuan waved his hand and dashed to the outer edge of the treasure pools.

The second-place Heaven’s Edge Tower began making their selections.

Everyone impatiently leaped into their respective treasure pools.

SPLASH! SPLASH! SPLASH!

Flashes of colorful light shimmered as the dense immortal mist was torn open. In the blink of an eye, they immersed themselves and were concealed by the swirling immortal radiance.

Standing in a purple pool, Xu Yang’s face was filled with pleasant surprise.

He thought, “The Tower Master didn’t exaggerate at all.

“The essence energy inside this treasure pool is truly astonishing.

“The Yin and Yang energies originate from the starry sky’s origin. The energy here comes from the accumulation and transformation of those dual energies, blended with various natural treasures. After being nurtured for so long, it is hardly inferior to the Purest Essence Qi.

“Hiss, even my physical body is finding it hard to bear.”

Xu Yang’s body trembled. The surging energy around him exerted such immense pressure that every bone in his body quivered, and his pores were forcefully torn open.

He couldn’t help but take a deep breath, hastily discarding all distracting thoughts. With bubbling excitement, he circulated the Celestial Refining Divine Scripture.

With energy of this caliber, the refinement process of the Celestial Refining Divine Tripod was unnecessary. Absorbing it directly with his main body yielded far better results.

The immense pressure and tempering process undoubtedly offered tremendous benefits.

The purple energy was drawn into his body, penetrating his blood, flesh, and bones before directly entering his immortal foundation. It shook the foundation, fiercely tempering and expanding it, before flowing back into his immortal veins, causing them to swell to their limits.

A faint trace of black and white reflected within the purple immortal light. Like a phantom, it cascaded into his Primordial Spirit Space, enveloping his Primordial Spirit.

Xu Yang’s mind swayed as he gradually settled into a Realm of Clarity.

Under the light’s reflection, his Primordial Spirit relaxed, turning as carefree and languid as a soundly sleeping infant. Intangible ripples were swallowed by his Primordial Spirit, inducing a subtle transformation.

In just a few moments, Xu Yang fell completely into deep cultivation, oblivious to the outside world.

His entire body relaxed. Even as his bones trembled under the crushing pressure, it didn’t affect his consciousness in the slightest.

Though the energy was intense, his own growth potential was far too terrifying.

With a twelfth-grade immortal foundation, no matter how strong the external force was, he could quickly adapt and undergo massive changes.

Outside.

It didn’t take long for the cultivators from the thirty-six Heaven’s Edge Towers to allocate the treasure pools.

A moment later.

All the treasure pools began to churn.

Meanwhile, the thirty-six formidable Tower Masters shot into the sky in unison. Arriving beneath the black-and-white Yin-Yang canopy, they each claimed a spot, sitting cross-legged in the void to begin their own cultivation.

This place was a highly restricted area of the Heaven’s Edge Pavilion. Cultivated through the methods of generations of powerful Pavilion Masters, the Yin and Yang energies here had accumulated over countless years. A single wisp of it brought to the outside world would fetch an astronomical price.

If one possessed a severe, incurable hidden affliction, absorbing the energy here would gradually eradicate it, restoring them to perfect health.

If one’s immortal foundation was damaged, this energy could mend its flaws.

It also held various other wondrous uses that were beyond words, only to be understood through experience.

In roughly half an hour, the entire Grotto Heaven settled into tranquility, with only the flashing, colorful treasure lights proving that the space wasn’t truly dormant.

As time passed, the fourth day arrived.

BOOM!

A majestic surge of energy suddenly erupted from one of the silver treasure pools, shooting straight into the sky.

The shockwave rapidly expanded and intensified.

Illuminated by the silver treasure light, streaks of dazzling flames emerged. They furiously intertwined like a chain of fiery meteors, eventually condensing into a breathtakingly magnificent fire lotus.

BOOM!

Inside the treasure pool, an aura originally at the Peak of Celestial Immortal completely transcended into the Golden Immortal Realm.

In just four days, the first cultivator to break through from Celestial Immortal to Golden Immortal appeared.

After the first success, a chain reaction seemed to ignite.

Before the fifth day even began, a second cultivator broke through.

The breakthroughs from Celestial Immortal to Golden Immortal brought forth a myriad of phenomena. Immortal lights exploded in brilliant, magnificent displays, causing the Grotto Heaven to flicker with erratic radiance.

From then on, violent commotions erupted almost daily.

Either a Celestial Immortal advanced to the Golden Immortal Realm, or someone at the Early Stage of Golden Immortal broke through to the Middle Stage.

The vast majority of the cultivators who entered this place had already pushed their accumulations to the limit beforehand. Breaking through here using the treasure pools yielded phenomenal results. With sufficient accumulation, their success was a foregone conclusion, and the process proved even more beneficial for their future cultivation.

Time marched on to the thirteenth day.

Xu Yang finally felt that it was about time.

His cultivation base had skyrocketed, yet some energy still remained within the treasure pool.

He thought, “Combined with the Ten Thousand Medicines Cyan Lotus Milk, this will be enough for a breakthrough.”

With that thought in mind, Xu Yang hesitated no longer. His willpower erupted as he fiercely charged at the invisible barrier restricting his cultivation.

BOOM!

Inside him, his twelfth-grade immortal foundation churned like a suspended galaxy, stirring up a twelve-colored radiant glow in his Dantian. It looked as if an endlessly vast and brilliant nebula was orbiting his towering immortal foundation.

The dazzling colors dyed almost every bone in his body, radiating outward through his flesh. The originally purple pool was swallowed by a rapidly expanding, multicolored light. Magnificent and grandiose, it became the brightest pool in the entire Grotto Heaven.
