Chapter 691 - 376: Nascent Soul Height of 9.9 Inches!

"Nine inches are done, leaving zero point nine until the maximum of ten inches. I wonder how many years it will take to finish this journey?"

Looking at the Nascent Soul in the Dantian, Qi Chuan thought to himself.

For ordinary Nine Inches Great True Monarchs, every step beyond nine inches is exceptionally difficult, requiring increments of zero point one to climb higher.

However, Qi Chuan had a premonition that it wouldn't be so challenging for him to improve his cultivation.

Because the quality of his Nascent Soul was exceptionally high, the inherent limit was ten inches.

At most, it would be harder to improve than before reaching nine inches, but definitely not as difficult as breaking the limit; normal cultivation would suffice.

Of course, if Qi Chuan were to give an exact time, he couldn't do it.

All he could do was strive to cultivate diligently and let things flow naturally.

At that moment, Qi Chuan stopped thinking further, completely abandoning distracting thoughts and began circulating the Profound Celestial Spirit Devouring Sword Technique.

[You circulate the Profound Celestial Spirit Devouring Sword Technique, absorbing and refining the Spiritual Qi within the Tier Four Upper Grade Spirit Pearl, transforming it into your Nascent Soul, triggering a sixteenfold critical strike, and obtaining sixteenfold gains while your Nascent Soul foundation is slightly enhanced.]

...

As Qi Chuan immersed his body and mind into cultivation, time in the external world flew by quickly.

In the blink of an eye, twenty years passed by.

During these twenty years, a lot happened in the outside Cultivation Realm, even two more Great True Monarchs fell.

Along with those who fell in the Kunlun Demon Realm, a total of twelve had perished, which seemed unusually frequent over the years.

Where there are falls, new life naturally arises.

Perhaps due to the recent abundance of fallen Great True Monarchs, a scene of thriving fortune appeared among those rising to this rank.

In the Chaotic Demon Sea and the Celestial North Domain's nineteen states combined, over these twenty years, seven veteran Nascent Soul Middle Stage experts diligently cultivated and stepped into the Realm of Great True Monarch!

The emergence of so many newly promoted Great True Monarchs also signified the birth of an equal number of Peak Strong Sects, eagerly entering the Cultivation Realm's grand stage to claim their share, bringing more fierce competition.

These competitions momentarily stirred the entire Cultivation Realm into turbulence.

But regardless of how these disturbances developed or intensified, they did not affect the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect in the least.

During these twenty years, Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect gradually released the news that Qi Chuan had stepped into Nine Inches Great True Monarch.

At the time, the news, once it was announced, immediately shocked the entire Cultivation Realm.

One must understand, this was a Nine Inches Great True Monarch!

Many Great True Monarchs in the Cultivation Realm have cultivated for years, dreaming of ascending to this realm, seeking but never gaining it, unable to enter this realm throughout their lives, halted outside the nine inches.

No matter the ups and downs in the Cultivation Realm over many years, Nine Inches Great True Monarchs remain but a few.

Moreover, they are almost all figures from those few Divinity Transformation Influences.

It's hard to find even one or two from ordinary influences.

So this time, another individual from an ordinary influence stepping into the Nine Inches Great True Monarch Realm naturally left countless people astonished.

And crucially, this person was none other than Qi Chuan, who didn't have long-standing experience in the Realm of True Monarch, surprising everyone greatly.

However, no matter the thoughts in these people's hearts, outwardly they all expressed the purest respect to Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect, regarding it as one of the untouchable top forces.

Its status is only below Divinity Transformation Influence, only a notch lower compared to the Nebula Pavilion, Eight Imperial Sects, and Celestial Fall Sect, the Three Sects.

This difference of a notch was due to the Three Sects' relation to Celestial Star Palace.

Their deep foundations, past renown, and subtle connection among the Three Sects surpassed Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect by a degree.

But if considered separately, in people's eyes, they are all seen as unchallengeable top forces, occupying the same status.

Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect, inside a Tier Four Cave Mansion.

Once causing a sensation in the Cultivation Realm due to entering Nine Inches Great True Monarch, Qi Chuan now sat quietly on a couch inside a secluded stone chamber.

In the void in front of his chest floated two objects, continuously emitting a copious amount of pure Spiritual Qi.

One was a Tier Four Upper Grade Spirit Pearl.

The other was an extremely peculiar Mysterious Stone Talisman.

Qi Chuan's body was ceaselessly operating the Profound Celestial Spirit Devouring Sword Technique, endlessly absorbing the Qi emitted by the Spirit Pearl and Stone Talisman into his body, then circulating it, refining it into his Nascent Soul.

This caused the pressure of his Nascent Soul within his body to grow stronger and stronger.

At this moment, another cycle of cultivation was completed, his Mana fully returning to the Dantian.

Qi Chuan's eyelids slightly moved, and he slowly opened his eyes.

Before him, a line of words appeared.

[You circulate the Profound Celestial Spirit Devouring Sword Technique, absorbing and refining the Spiritual Qi within the Tier Four Upper Grade Spirit Pearl and Mysterious Stone Talisman, transforming it into your Nascent Soul, triggering a twenty-threefold critical strike, earning twenty-threefold gains, your Nascent Soul foundation is minutely enhanced, your Nascent Soul height has slightly grown.]

Seeing the information within the words, Qi Chuan sensed that his Nascent Soul in the Dantian had grown a bit more.

So he introspected his Dantian, observing the Nascent Soul within.

This observation revealed yet another significant breakthrough.
