Hide in The Immortal Cultivation World, Strike Hard in the Martial World
Chapter 422 - 206 Yang Dan Visits_2

Of course, if that good friend happens to be a top-notch fairy of great disposition, it would be even better.

Ever since Ma Xiaoqiu survived her eighth transformation, her cultivation level advanced into the late Foundation Establishment stage. After more than a decade of cultivation, her mana is already close to reaching the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage.

However, what worries her is that if she can't survive the upcoming ninth transformation, she might still perish. Even if she survives, she will lose her chance to reach the Core Formation stage for the rest of her life,

The chance for her to refine mana and survive the ninth transformation is known from the will she left and the few fragmented memories she recently recovered.

Her solution lies in the miniature secret realm hidden within the Yin and Yang Secret Realm.

But she can't recall some key details from her last visit. She isn't sure whether she has shared those details with Chen Yi,

So every time they discuss cultivation together, she would seize the opportunity to bring up the subject of the secret realm.

Ma Xiaoqiu naturally hopes that Chen Yi would explore the secret realm with her. Less than 20 years is left until it opens next.

However, Chen Yi hasn't given a definitive answer regarding the exploration of the secret realm.

The main reason is that Chen Yi's body refining cultivation has been unable to break through the "Five Refinements in One" and form Pill Force.

Chen Yi set a goal for himself. If his Body Cultivation power reaches the Core Formation stage before the opening of the secret realm, he will venture into it.

After all, there are many opportunities for Core Formation in that secret realm. Even if he doesn't need them, Liu Emei does.

And the Miniature Secret Realm that Ma Xiaoqiu mentioned contains Five-Colored Spiritual Soil, which can greatly enhance the quality of his subsequent Body Refining Cultivation - Golden Skin.

Usually, he prefers to stay in seclusion as there are no precious items outside that are worth his effort. With normal opportunities outside, Chen Yi can reach a comparable level by steadily cultivating.

But if there's a chance to obtain the Five-Colored Spiritual Soil, which is highly suitable for him, he wouldn't want to miss it.

Besides, apart from the Five-Colored Spiritual Soil, the Miniature Secret Realm contains many things that even Ma Xiaoqiu doesn't recognize.

Because in there, the Five-Colored Spiritual Soil is just soil nurturing a plant.

It's crucial to take things steadily, but what should be obtained must be obtained.

Fortunately, while Chen Yi was cultivating the "Five Refinements in One" in recent years, he reviewed his progress. With his current attitude towards cultivation, he has walked through the journey of Five Refinements over and over again.

Every time he re-cultivated, Chen Yi gained new insights.

During the first re-purification of his flesh, muscles, tendons, and Dirty Essence, he would always find a small detail that he had overlooked before.

This state, Chen Yi knew, is called "Entering the Detail."

On the path of Body Refining Cultivation he was taking, if he wanted to form the "Five Refinements in One" and create Pill Force, it was necessary to walk the path of "Entering the Detail."

The journey of Body Refining, especially that of Vitality and Blood, is a process of refining from the surface to the subtle details.

After the initial refinement of his skin, bones, tendons, and Dirty Essence, only a foundation was laid for his body.

The next step, "Five Refinements in One", is to re-refine the intermediate areas that have not been refined, so as to integrate the Five Refinements.

This step has always been a barrier distinguishing the ordinary from the talented.

Because no one knows to what extent one needs to enter the Detail to connect the Five Refinements and find the path to unity.

In ancient times, forming Pill Force through Body Refining was the same as reaching the Foundation Establishment stage in Qi Cultivation,

Once this step is taken, the future will be bright.

And to what extent this step is achieved often signifies how far a cultivator can go on the path of Body Refining.

Chen Yi practices the Vajra Sutra, a martial method from ancient times that directly leads to Physical Body Sanctification.

Chen Yi's comprehension of the Vajra Daoist Rhythm, combined with the gold spiritual nature catalyzed by high-quality stalactite milk, allowed him to form his Golden Body during the fifth layer of Body Refining.

This has greatly facilitated Chen Yi's process of refining his body and "Entering the Detail."

Even in ancient times, someone like Chen Yi, who could form the Golden Body before Core Formation, would be considered a top-tier talent in the Vajra Sect.

Such talent only appears once in a thousand years, and when it does, it would be cultivated as a cornerstone for the sect.

But in this era, the environment of heaven and earth is far below that of ancient times. Even with these conditions, it is extremely difficult for Chen Yi to achieve perfect Core Formation.

Besides, there's no expert from the past to guide him hand by hand.

All Chen Yi could do was to explore step by step on his own on the path of "Entering the Detail."

Luckily, Chen Yi remained calm. Regardless of the wind and rain, he continued to cultivate every day,

Not being lost in the path ahead, nor being afraid of the unknown, nor being anxious about the passing of time.

Even if his body refining cultivation progressed slowly, he didn't need to worry,

because he had the Turtle Breathing Technique, he would eventually be successful in forming the core. Once he entered the Core Formation Stage, with his Turtle Breathing Technique's ability to resist the power of time,

Chen Yi might possess a lifespan of a thousand years,

He didn't believe that he couldn't achieve the ultimate subtlety in a thousand years.

Once Chen Yi successfully formed the physical core, he would truly step onto the path of being a potent body cultivator. Various divine techniques and anomalies would then appear.

In this nearing End Dharma Era, when he fought against others,

he would be undefeated within the same level. Here, undefeated meant that he could remain unbeaten against the talents from any sect in the Immortal Cultivation World.

The bad news was that Chen Yi's body cultivation progress was slow, or you could say there was no progress bar to monitor in this level of subtlety, so he didn't know to what extent he had reached,

but the good news was that after each of Chen Yi's body refining using the subtlety method, he could feel that his physical strength, which had already reached the peak of the fifth layer of body refining, had improved a little bit more,

Drops of water can eventually form an ocean.

Chen Yi believed that if he persisted in refining without stop, it wouldn't be long before he possessed a physical strength equivalent to that of a Body Cultivator at the Core Formation Stage, even without the formation of Pill Force.

If he could reach this level before the opening of the Secret Realm,

Chen Yi might consider taking a look inside.

...

On the other hand, with True Person Chengji's investigation of the Zhao Jingwu incident, even though the culprit had not been caught,

the name of the Turtle doctor was frequently mentioned amongst the upper ranks of the Immortal Cultivation World of the Ten Thousand Islands Alliance,

The incident where True Person Chengji and Sect Leader Han Jian joined hands to make things difficult for Chen Yi, but was later resolved by Ling Jingjing, was mentioned frequently in high-level circles,

It was not because Chen Yi was so important, but because Ling Jingjing, as one of the only two active Golden Core Cultivators in the Ten Thousand Islands Alliance, controlled a vast amount of resources,

hence, every movement of hers was given significant attention,

As a result, the Turtle doctor, who was favored by Ling Jingjing, gradually came into the sights of many people.

On Wangyue Island, at the peak of Wangyue Mountain, within the Yang Family's third-tier spiritual vein.

Yang Dan had officially taken over the reins of the Yang Family from the Yang Family Ancestor and was restructuring the family.

This time, the Yang Family suffered severe losses. After the Yang Family Ancestor overexerted himself with a final blow that killed Qi Yunzu, he aged significantly,

His hair turned white, his face started to show age spots, and he looked completely different from the vigorous and youthful True Person Yang,

The pseudo-core cultivators of the Yang Family either died or were injured, whereas most of the Offerings left the Yang Family,

Now, all that remained in the Yang Family were Aunt Qin and Yang Shenghu, whose cultivation level had fallen back to the late Foundation Establishment.

The Yang Family, although not destroyed, was left devastated.

Also, the effect of Yang Dan's Core Formation was not ideal, making it difficult for the Yang Family to rise again in this generation.

It was fortunate that Qi Yunzu was dead before he achieved his purpose, so the Yang Family barely managed to keep their third-tier spiritual vein,

However, the current Yang Family no longer had the ability to protect the trading fleets traveling to and from the Xuantian Continent,

The chicken that laid golden eggs must now be given up.

Unless, the Yang Family begins to slowly recuperate and train some pseudo-core family members, as well as attracting some high-ranking Offerings.

With the wealth accumulated by the Yang Family over more than a hundred years, in theory, there should be no problem.

But that was only in theory, in the Immortal Cultivation World, they still watch the wind from the top forces.

During this period, Yang Dan tried various means to revive the Yang Family, visited many capable people, but the results were minimal.

One day, Yang Dan, as a True Person of the Core Formation Stage, heard a piece of news,

After thinking about it, she felt that she and that person were somewhat related,

So she took her younger brother, Yang Hui, and personally went to the Cold Sword Gate, Little Cold Peak.
