Chapter 59: Chapter 59: Perceiving the State of Mind, Breakthrough in Cultivation!

"Hmph, where do you think you’re running! Falling Moon Meteor Slash!"

Song Yan’s eyes suddenly sharpened, and the precious sword in his hand burst out with a strong light.

With a casual toss, the sword in the air suddenly bloomed with specks of starlight, instantly forming a crescent moon trailing with Sword Qi.

In a swift motion, it chased directly toward Elder Blood’s back!

"Blood Explosion Step!"

Feeling the immense danger behind him, Elder Blood, who was sprinting forward, finally clenched his teeth hard.

In an instant, his figure burst into a cloud of blood mist, and his already lightning-fast form sped up even more.

However, his face suddenly turned unnaturally pale, as if he were a corpse.

There was no choice, Elder Blood despised Song Yan deeply,

but he also knew that he was no match for Song Yan, not in the past, and even less so now.

After all, the cultivation forcefully enhanced by the Violent Blood Pill could not last long.

And once the effects of the pill wore off, he would truly become like fish on the chopping block.

Therefore, at this moment, Elder Blood, at the cost of his own Life Source, forcefully executed the Blood Explosion Step to increase his escape speed, all in the hope of saving his life to seek revenge another day!

However, as much as Elder Blood had planned, Song Yan seemed determined this time, resolved to drive him to his death.

Seeing Elder Blood’s figure gradually getting farther, a trace of blue passed fleetingly over Song Yan’s face.

His aura seemed to increase again at this moment.

He took a quick step, inhaled deeply, and then violently slapped his hands towards the previously thrown sword.

"Humm—"

A visible palm print suddenly struck the sword.

Instantly, the already formidable sword trembled violently in mid-air.

A second later, the sword’s radiance intensified, and with several "swoosh" sounds, the sword shadow suddenly vanished from its original spot!

When it reappeared, it had shockingly reached behind Elder Blood!

"Puff!"

Blood splattered!

Elder Blood, who was sprinting forward, suddenly trembled violently!

He lowered his head, staring blankly at the sword tip that had pierced through his back, his whole being as if petrified, his face filled with disbelief.

"Chunqiu Secret Scripture, Energy Depleting Skill."

As he spoke, Elder Blood’s mouth began to uncontrollably spill out large amounts of fresh blood.

He looked slowly towards the approaching Song Yan and the Zhu Fei behind him, his mouth curling into a reluctant and miserable smile.

"Who would have thought that to kill me, you’d actually damage your own cultivation, heh heh heh... The Sect Hierarch will definitely not let you go, just you wait."

"Not good!"

Suddenly, Song Yan seemed to realize something.

He had been walking slowly, but his body suddenly accelerated, in a blink he was close to Elder Blood.

Unfortunately, he was still one step too late.

At that moment, Elder Blood suddenly crushed a red jade talisman in his hand, then his body went limp, and he simply breathed his last.

Looking at Elder Blood’s corpse, Song Yan’s face showed a trace of gloom for the first time.

"Senior, what is this...?"

Zhu Fei stepped forward and looked at Song Yan’s unsightly expression, and couldn’t help but ask.

He had also noticed that just before Elder Blood died, the red jade plaque he crushed seemed to be something similar to a Transmission Jade Token.

"Yes, that is a unique Transmission Jade Token of the Blood Evil Sect. Almost every elder of the Blood Evil Sect is equipped with one. As soon as they crush the jade token, they can send the message here to the inner circle of the Blood Evil Sect."

"Earlier, I wasn’t paying attention and allowed that old demon to send the message back, and I’m afraid it won’t be long before the Blood Evil Sect sends someone over to secretly investigate the cause of Elder Blood’s death."

"Indeed."

After hearing Song Yan’s explanation, Zhu Fei’s heart tightened.

He hadn’t expected that the so-called Blood Evil Sect indeed possessed such methods similar to those of cultivators.

It seemed that the world’s martial artists weren’t as simple as he had initially thought.

Not to mention anything else, just the abilities that Song Yan and Elder Blood displayed earlier were enough to warrant deep reflection by Zhu Fei.

It was only at this moment that Zhu Fei truly began to take the martial artists of this world seriously and gradually began to put away his arrogance.

After all, he hadn’t initially held much respect for the so-called martial artists of this world.

But now, after the setbacks he had experienced earlier, Zhu Fei had become thoroughly enlightened.

He was no longer the Five Mountains Pill God of before but just a minor cultivator.

All his pride and confidence, from this moment on, would only reside deep within his heart and would no longer be easily shown.

Having realized all this, Zhu Fei suddenly felt a release in his heart.

A breakthrough in his state of mind, which he hadn’t experienced for a hundred years in his previous life, was now faintly starting to stir.

Zhu Fei immediately felt overjoyed.

He finally understood that cultivating one’s state of mind was not simply about being strong-willed or persistent. It required insight, understanding oneself, neither arrogant nor cowardly, confronting the essence of one’s mind, achieving enlightenment, which is the true path.

In his previous life, once he reached the peak of the Five Mountains Continent, at the top of the food chain, he hardly faced any setbacks anymore.

Coupled with being hailed as the top Pill God, he mostly encountered people who flattered and pleased him.

Gradually, without realizing it, he had almost forgotten the hardships and struggles he once faced and became arrogant and conceited.

In fact, to the Heavenly Dao, even though he was once the number-one Pill God of the Five Mountains, or even a Transcendance Tribulation Stage cultivator, he was just a slightly larger ant.

Ridiculously, his former self had not recognized the vastness of heaven and earth and was fixated on the Immortal Ascension Pill, insisting on refining it forcefully.

In the end, a lifetime of cultivation was destroyed in one fell swoop, providing his enemies with a reason to mock and causing sadness to those around him.

He wondered how those old acquaintances from the Five Mountains were now.

Without his protection, could they evade the pursuit of his enemies?

Thinking of this, Zhu Fei’s eyes eventually flickered with sadness and self-reproach.

However, unknowingly, his state of mind had suddenly reached perfection, achieving the Great Success Earth Immortal stage.

Along with that, his cultivation had also quietly advanced to the Qi Refining Third Level!

"Hehe, congratulations, Zhu Fei, on your breakthrough in cultivation. I believe it won’t be long before you can attempt to break through to the Dark Energy stage."

At that moment, Song Yan, who was beside him, suddenly smiled and congratulated Zhu Fei with a fist salute.

Hearing Song Yan’s congratulatory words, Zhu Fei came back to his senses.

He smiled and nodded to Song Yan, saying, "Thank you, senior, for protecting me earlier. I am deeply grateful. I don’t know if the senior..."

However, before Zhu Fei could finish his sentence, he suddenly saw that Song Yan’s old face had turned pale, and his body also swayed slightly as if he was about to fall.
