Chapter 638: Fifth Celestial Tribulation, A Great Leap in Strength

「A few days later.」

Within the elegantly appointed chambers, a warm and tranquil air prevailed. A faint, subtle fragrance of snow plums lingered, crisp and refreshing.

Beiming Cang Xue, draped in sheer gauze with her slender, beautiful feet bare, sat cross-legged upon the Bosu Meditation Mat. Her rounded buttocks were plump as a ripe peach.

As she sat there, meditating, a gentle radiance glowed upon her face. Even in this luxurious and exquisite room, she remained the most beautiful and captivating sight.

She gazed inward at her Qi Sea and was startled to find a new vortex swirling at its center, resembling the intertwined fish of a yin-yang symbol. Two streams of Spiritual Mechanism, one yin and one yang, wove around each other, causing her Magical Power to instantly double.

The *Supreme Profound Origin Yin-Yang Infinite Treasure Scripture* had been completed by her and Fang Cheng. As she recalled the passionate frenzy of that time, even Beiming Cang Xue’s serene and distant Dao Heart couldn’t help but stir.

She and Fang Cheng had used the Bosu Meditation Mat to fathom the profound mysteries of this Cultivation Technique. On that small Meditation Mat, they had become completely entangled. Only after their bodies and minds were utterly satisfied did they finally achieve a breakthrough.

The Yin Yang Vortex in their Qi Seas would grow larger with each session of Dual Cultivation, allowing them to store an ever-increasing amount of Magical Power. Their reserves would far surpass those of other Cultivators at the same rank, and eventually, they would possess limitless Magical Power, enough to dominate an entire era.

Beiming Cang Xue glanced at the passionately disheveled Jade Couch, a seductive charm softening her features as her heart filled with boundless tenderness.

…

Within a Quiet Chamber in the Taixu Cloud Tower.

Fang Cheng sat cross-legged on a cloud bed, equally astonished by the Yin Yang Vortex that had appeared in his Qi Sea.

‘A legacy worthy of a Spirit Immortal… it’s truly profound beyond measure.’

It was as if this Yin Yang Vortex concealed an even larger Qi Sea. As he cultivated, his Magical Power steadily rose until it had completely doubled!

Moreover, he could feel that the Yin Yang Vortex could continue to expand, and the amount of Magical Power it could contain would increase even further.

Perhaps it wouldn’t be long before his Fourth-Tribulation body possessed Magical Power comparable to the immense reserves his Spiritual Mechanism Incarnation had before refining the Spirit Immortal Head.

Unfortunately, Beiming Cang Xue’s Cultivation was a bit low. Dual Cultivating with her left him feeling slightly unfulfilled.

Fang Cheng’s thoughts drifted to that cold, voluptuous beauty, Beiming Qingqiu.

Her Cultivation had already reached the Fifth Tribulation, and being from the Beiming Immortal Race, her Magical Power was profound and abundant—even surpassing that of ordinary Fifth Tribulation Cultivators. She was the perfect Tripod Furnace.

‘I’ll go find her in a few days…’

Fang Cheng mused, but for now, there were more important matters to attend to.

With a wave of his sleeve, a flash of light streaked through the Quiet Chamber, and the Mountain and River Cauldron silently appeared.

He pointed a finger at the cauldron. A beam of spiritual light shot out from its mouth and landed on the floor, instantly revealing a huge pile of Dao Pattern Spirit Jades.

A smile touched Fang Cheng’s lips. As he swept his hand over the Dao Pattern Spirit Jades, the numbers on the Creation Golden Talisman in his Sea of Consciousness flickered and grew.

In total, there were 36,739 Dao Pattern Spirit Jades.

In his Sea of Consciousness, the number of creation points on the Creation Golden Talisman skyrocketed to over nineteen million!

‘With all these creation points, I can finally raise the *Mixed Element Seven Tribulations Diagram* to a state of complete perfection. Afterward, my comprehension of the Path of Returning Ruins will advance even further…’

Fang Cheng was extremely satisfied with the gains his Spiritual Mechanism Incarnation had made during its excursion in the Jade Flower Realm.

The Path of Returning Ruins was a path he had walked alone since the beginning of his cultivation journey. He had comprehended its Profound Mechanism by personally confronting cosmic phenomena, with the *Mixed Element Seven Tribulations Diagram* as his only reference and no other outside aid.

Although the Creation Golden Talisman possessed heaven-defying abilities, it couldn’t allow him to create a Divine Technique out of thin air.

Only by thoroughly comprehending the *Mixed Element Seven Tribulations Diagram*, mastering all seven of its Divine Techniques—progressing from Primordial Light Division all the way to the final form, Primordial Void—could he grasp the true intent of the Spirit Immortal who created it.

The Spirit Immortal who created this technique must have observed the Returning Ruins Vortex in the Outer Void. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to create “Primordial Void,” a Divine Technique so remarkably similar to the Void Vortex.

Using this Divine Technique to comprehend the Path of Returning Ruins was the road Fang Cheng was now paving for himself.

And he was already making some headway.

After putting away the Dao Pattern Spirit Jades, he took out the four immortal peaches he had obtained from the Spirit Immortal’s Abandoned Mansion.

A brilliant spiritual light radiated from the peaches, wreathed in layers of halos. Their flesh was crystalline, and through it, endless profound runes could be seen swimming into and out of existence. Peering through these runes, he could faintly make out the peach’s pit, which resembled a resplendent, golden Celestial Palace, like the dwelling of an immortal.

Fang Cheng picked up one of the immortal peaches and devoured it in a few bites. He immediately felt a warm current rise within him, which then erupted outward, surging through his entire body in an instant.

A familiar sensation surfaced—it was the same feeling he experienced when his physical body broke through its shackles and limits while he cultivated the *Nine Revolutions Profound Origin Technique* by refining Merit Talismanic Coins.

‘So this is for enhancing one’s physical body.’

Fang Cheng hastily circulated his Profound Skill, beginning to refine the powerful, unending torrent of Spiritual Mechanism gushing forth.

The countless particles of his flesh and blood seemed to transform into miniature black holes, frantically devouring the Spiritual Mechanism from the immortal peach and growing stronger by the moment.

This was easily a hundred times faster than when he cultivated the technique by refining Merit Talismanic Coins.

As expected of a Sixth-rank Heavenly Spiritual Object, the immortal peach contained boundless Spiritual Mechanism, allowing Fang Cheng’s Physical Strength to continuously rise and break through its limits.

After a long while, he had completely refined the immortal peach’s Spiritual Mechanism. Without hesitation, he picked up the second peach and swallowed it whole.

Fang Cheng formed a profound and arcane hand seal. Circulating the Nine Revolutions Profound Origin Technique, he used the vast Magical Power within him to drive the Ancient Strange Skill, refining the immense Spiritual Mechanism that erupted from the peach.

A vast power began to gather within him.

He changed his hand seal.

HUMMM!

A faint rumble echoed from the void. Ancient, arcane runes began to surface on his skin, and a powerful, profound aura surged from his body.
