Eternal Life: Hundredfold Rewards

Chapter 590 - 325: One-Breath Breakthrough, Spirit Cloud Phenomenon a Thousand Zhang High!

However, when it pertains to the Realm of the Great True Monarch, regardless of whether the breakthrough succeeds or fails, the consequences are simply too significant. Thus, upon hearing the sudden news of Qi Chuan’s immediate attempt to break through to the Realm of the Great True Monarch, he couldn’t help feeling somewhat unsettled.

After all... what if?

"I am extremely confident... there is no need to wait any longer," Qi Chuan paused slightly in his speech but could only speak this way; in fact, his probability of breakthrough success was one hundred percent.

"Phew..."

Upon hearing this, Qingyun True Monarch took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled.

After a moment of silence, he clenched his teeth, nodded, and said, "Very well, Junior Brother Qi Chuan, I will immediately activate the Sect Protection Array to isolate all communication between the inside and outside. I will order everyone to stay in their Cave Mansions, and dispatch patrol teams to strictly oversee the entire sect!"

"Rest assured, there will be absolutely no disruptions affecting your breakthrough!"

"Alright, thank you very much, Senior Brother Qingyun," Qi Chuan expressed his gratitude.

Breaking through to the Realm of the Great True Monarch is indeed extremely important.

Therefore, it is necessary to make sufficient arrangements to avoid any possibility of unforeseen incidents.

"Junior Brother Qi Chuan, do you require any other assistance? If you have any needs, even if it means selling half of the sect, Senior Brother will ensure they are met!" Qingyun True Monarch asked again. He was not simply being courteous with his words; they were a promise he intended to fulfill.

"There are no other requirements," Qi Chuan shook his head, affirming.

"...Very well!"

After a moment of silence, Qingyun True Monarch merely nodded and uttered an acknowledgment, refraining from further speech.

"Then, Junior Brother Qi Chuan, focus on your breakthrough, and I will proceed with the arrangements."

With these words, Qingyun True Monarch directly and proactively severed the light curtain.

At this moment, within his Tier Four Cave Mansion, having cut off artifact communications, Qingyun True Monarch let out a heavy breath.

In the stone chamber, it was incredibly quiet.

Qingyun True Monarch raised his head, looking toward the direction of Qi Chuan’s Cave Mansion, his face expressionless as he murmured, "Junior Brother Qi Chuan, Senior Brother wishes you success in your breakthrough..."

After sitting for a few breaths, his emotions finally calmed down slightly.

Then, he stood up, leaving his Tier Four Cave Mansion.

Soon, one First Supreme Elder Order after another was urgently issued from the Myriad Flowers Hall.

Around, each message-carrying disciple sped like the wind, running to and fro.

Buzzing.

An enormous array outline rose from the Myriad Flowers Mountain Range, encompassing the entire mountain range within.

The array operated at full capacity with its power fully activated!

Under the First Supreme Elder Order, disciples from various parts of the sect, except for the designated patrol disciples, were all heading toward their respective Cave Mansions. For the coming period, unless summoned, these individuals must remain in their Cave Mansions and not go outside.

Even the Sect Leader of the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect and all Core Formation Elders had to conform to these conditions!

For a time, the entire Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect operated as strictly and precisely as a machine.

All individuals naturally adhered strictly to the First Supreme Elder Order.

However, everyone, including the Sect Leader and Core Formation Elders, was thoroughly perplexed and baffled... What tremendous event was unfolding within the sect to warrant such an unprecedented deployment?

Yet, these individuals were destined never to uncover the answers to their questions.

For even when the Sect Leader and various Core Formation Elders visited the Myriad Flowers Hall, where Qingyun True Monarch personally presided to inquire, they only received one response:

Do not ask, just execute.

This message, too, was passed down from top to bottom, a tier-by-tier dissemination.

In no time, the entire Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect was silenced as if by frigid winter air.

While the entire Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect operated as if it were a perfect machine, within Qi Chuan’s Tier Four Cave Mansion, in the Secluded Stone Chamber, it was utterly silent.

Having decided to commence the breakthrough to the Realm of the Great True Monarch, Qi Chuan did not engage in excess preparations; there was no need.

He merely removed several items from his Qiankun Bag.

The Mysterious Stone Talisman, a vial of Nascent Soul Pill, a pile of Spirit Stones, and nothing else.

Qi Chuan arranged a circle of Spirit Stones around himself, forming an encirclement.

He poured out a Nascent Soul Pill, swallowing it, and immediately the pure medicinal power spread within his body.

Clutching the Mysterious Stone Talisman in his palm.

Subsequently, he maximized the activation of the Spiritual Qi within this Tier Four Cave Mansion.

In an instant, thick, mist-like Spiritual Qi filled the Secluded Stone Chamber.

Gazing at this scene, Qi Chuan took a small breath, then without hesitation, closed his eyes.

Internally, he accelerated the operation of the Profound Celestial Spirit Devouring Sword Technique.

Immediately, the Nascent Soul within his Dantian suddenly sat up, its large, black-and-white eyes closing, and its small, fair and delicate hands formed seals in front of its chest.

The next moment, a vast amount of Nascent Soul energy surged out from the Nascent Soul’s body, streaming into Qi Chuan’s meridians, beginning to circulate through a completely new route within his body.

Whoosh!

Simultaneously, outside.

A significant amount of Spiritual Qi emanated from the Mysterious Stone Talisman.

Combining with the Spiritual Qi emanating from the circle of Spirit Stones around Qi Chuan, alongside the dense Spiritual Qi within the Tier Four Cave Mansion, it converged into a vortex-like Spiritual Qi tornado, sweeping towards Qi Chuan.

Immediately, Qi Chuan’s entire body was enveloped in the dense, fog-like Spiritual Qi.

The enormous quantity of Spiritual Qi continued embedding itself into Qi Chuan’s body through every breath and aperture.

And upon entering his body, it was enveloped by Qi Chuan’s immense Nascent Soul energy, along with the medicinal power of the Nascent Soul Pill, continually converting into Qi Chuan’s Nascent Soul energy during the circulation processes.

As a large amount of new Nascent Soul energy emerged within Qi Chuan, which added to his original Nascent Soul energy, it naturally indicted that Qi Chuan’s Nascent Soul foundation was about to surpass the limits prescribed by the six-inch Nascent Soul.

This isn’t permissible in the Nascent Soul Middle Stage realm.

Were it an ordinary cultivator, they would inevitably confront the impassable bottleneck leading to the Realm of the Great True Monarch at this stage.

And then, a fierce collision and confrontation would ensue between the two.

Only by prevailing could one allow their Nascent Soul foundation, Nascent Soul height, to step into the domain of the Great True Monarch.

During this confrontation, the Nascent Soul, Divine Soul, and even physical body endure immense trials, risking backlash and severe injury with the slightest mistake.

However, if other Nascent Soul cultivators were present, they would be horrified to discover:

Qi Chuan’s stalemate with the bottleneck of the Great True Monarch lasted merely for a moment.

And after that instant, Qi Chuan’s Nascent Soul foundation directly surpassed the level of the six-inch Nascent Soul, transcending into six inches plus one!

Exceeding six inches plus one, even with Qi Chuan’s upper cultivation limit accounted for, marked his definitive entry into the Realm of the Great True Monarch!

A true one-instant breakthrough!

Nevertheless, at this very moment, the elevation of Qi Chuan’s Nascent Soul foundation, Nascent Soul height, showed no sign of halting; under the massive Spiritual Qi influx, it continued climbing.

Six inches plus one.

Six inches plus two.

Six inches plus four.

Six inches plus eight.

Six inches and two.

Six inches and four.

Six inches and eight.

...

As time elapsed, this ascent was growing increasingly rapid, increasingly swift...

At this rate, breaking through seven inches seems not too distant a feat.

...

Simultaneously, outside.

Above Qi Chuan’s Tier Four Cave Mansion, the void drew in a colossal influx of Spiritual Qi from every direction, forming a Spiritual Cloud a thousand feet wide.

Within the Spiritual Cloud, resplendent rays, manifesting a spectrum of five colors, stood strikingly in the sky, covering the vast scenery below.

The immense volume of Spiritual Qi descended like a funnel from the Spiritual Cloud, pouring downward.

And the directional flow of the funnel led to a special location.

Such remarkable phenomena, of course, drew the attention of countless disciples within the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect.

"How is that possible? A thousand-foot Spiritual Cloud spectacle appeared within our sect? Am I seeing this correctly?"

"Such an astonishing phenomenon surely signals someone breaking through to a major realm. But just what realm is it?"

"Look, the place to which the funnel’s base points is... the Tier Four Cave Mansion of the Second Supreme Elder?!"

"Tss..."
