Chapter 1666: Chapter 1035: 9 Refinements to Gui Yuan

After completing these tasks.

Cang Jianzi brought a large number of treasures back to this place and began setting up his chosen seclusive cultivation site.

As one formation after another was arranged.

A huge pile of mid-grade spirit stones accumulated within the formations.

With all preparations in place.

One day, Cang Jianzi suddenly started bathing and burning incense.

And he brought the ten Nascent Soul cultivators he had captured, all bound, to the center of this place.

Next.

With the flickering of blood-red light.

Along with the terrified shouts and vicious curses of these Nascent Soul cultivators, threads of blood connected them each to Cang Jianzi.

Seeing the secret skill taking effect.

Cang Jianzi’s face lit up with joy, as he gained greater confidence in his upcoming breakthrough transformation.

Upon confirming that his lifespan was connected to these Nascent Soul cultivators before him.

Cang Jianzi began Casting Spells with Hand Seals.

In an instant.

"Nine Refinements Returning to Essence Technique!"

With a low shout from Cang Jianzi, who had already thoroughly prepared, he officially began his attempt to break through to the Divinity Transformation Realm.

This attempt was something Cang Jianzi had been preparing for years.

Not only had he personally captured ten Nascent Soul cultivators to reduce the consumption of the Nine Refinements Returning to Essence Technique.

He even emptied the Hidden Sword Sect’s longstanding foundation.

To aid himself.

His goal, naturally, was to break through to the Divinity Transformation Realm.

Because as long as his cultivation succeeded in this breakthrough, everything he had done wouldn’t matter.

Ten Nascent Souls?

In the face of a Divinity Transformation Cultivator, what could the forces behind them dare to do?

The accumulated foundation of the Hidden Sword Sect?

Once he became a Divinity Transformation Cultivator, resources would mean nothing, even if it meant elevating the Hidden Sword Sect to the level of Deity Transforming Holy Land.

Given this, Cang Jianzi was naturally going all out, employing every means.

In order to enhance the likelihood of successfully breaking through to the Divinity Transformation Realm.

As for whether he would truly succeed in the end.

Cang Jianzi did not care.

After all, if he succeeded, he could rely on his cultivation to handle everything prior.

But if he failed.

Without the protection of spirit elixirs, death would be his only fate.

But if dead, who would care about matters thereafter?

This was why Cang Jianzi could take such a big risk.

In his view.

Since his lifespan was already short.

Given such an opportunity, why not gamble everything?

If it succeeded, all problems would be solved.

Even if he failed, he would just die a hundred or two hundred years early.

For someone who had lived over two thousand years.

That time isn’t significant.

Thus, Cang Jianzi’s determination at this moment was unwavering.

That with this breakthrough.

Success or perish!

And that was precisely why He Song chose Cang Jianzi.

From He Song’s earlier assessment, he predicted Cang Jianzi would choose this path.

Therefore, when Xianyun saw Cang Jianzi quickly begin using the Nine Refinements Returning to Essence Technique, his face showed no surprise.

He simply called for most of He Song’s attention, for He Song to personally observe the unfolding event.

And as most of He Song’s attention shifted here.

The scene before him stirred He Song’s heart.

Cang Jianzi’s breakthrough site was brimming with mountains of mid-grade spirit stones.

These mid-grade spirit stones were likely Cang Jianzi’s chosen spirit Qi source.

Though this approach is costly and the effect isn’t too notable.

This attempt was for breaking through to the Divinity Transformation Realm.

Any support is crucial for him.

Thus, as He Song glanced over these spirit stones, he gave a silent praise and resolved to employ such a method in his own future attempts to break through to the Divinity Transformation Realm.

At least, these spirit stones could provide He Song with more spirit Qi during his breakthrough.

His gaze scanned past the mountain of spirit stones.

He Song soon saw the eleven individuals linked by threads of blood.

Ten of them were the Nascent Souls Cang Jianzi had captured earlier.

The highest cultivation among them, currently Casting Spells with Hand Seals and utilizing the Nine Refinements Returning to Essence Technique, was Cang Jianzi.

After successfully deploying the Nine Refinements Returning to Essence Technique for the first time, Cang Jianzi’s vitality appeared weaker than before.

But not by much.

The ten individuals bound beside him also showed diminished vitality compared to before.

Presumably, this was the consequence of their lifespans being linked, the cost of using the Nine Refinements Returning to Essence Technique being distributed among them.

Yet, this realization dawned on He Song.

The technique that temporarily connects one’s lifespan to others truly exists.

After deploying this skill, Cang Jianzi indeed spread the lifespan cost required to execute the Nine Refinements Returning to Essence Technique across the ten Nascent Soul cultivators.

If this Nine Refinements Returning to Essence Technique only requires nine iterations to enable a Nascent Soul cultivator to successfully break through to the Divinity Transformation Realm.

Then Cang Jianzi might indeed have a significant chance of succeeding.
