Chapter 603: Chapter 431: Rapid Progress

At the peak of Dao Court Mountain, beside the sea of clouds.

Inside an advanced technology-inspired cultivation house, Li Yi sat cross-legged with his eyes closed. Facing the morning sun, hands clasping a lotus and holding a Seven-Colored Stone, he exhaled as the moon, yin, and inhaled as the sun, yang. As he performed the Sun and Moon Breathing Technique, he seemed to enter a profound mystical state. Every cell in his body was breathing at a certain rhythm.

With each exhale and inhale, he expelled the turbid qi within his body, purifying himself of impurities. Simultaneously, his entire being absorbed the cosmic energy emitted by the Seven-Colored Stone.

The first stage of cultivation: the Fetal Breathing Realm.

Whether it was the Mystic Origin Fetal Breathing Method or the Sun and Moon Breathing Technique, both held their wonders. However, when practiced to their peak, they shared one hallmark: the ability to cultivate while standing, walking, sitting, or lying down.

Thus, what Li Yi needed to do was guide his body to remember this breathing sensation and move away from some of his old habits.

At this moment, the unique advantages of being an Evolver surfaced once again.

His adaptability was extraordinary, and he learned anything quickly. Coupled with the Primordial Spirit Flower gifted by Xiang Xiangzi, which endowed him with the insight of a master at the Three Flowers Realm, re-cultivating the Daoist Skill was effortless. In just one day, he had thoroughly mastered the Sun and Moon Breathing Technique and fully entered the Fetal Breathing Realm.

Even though Li Yi’s strength had already surpassed this realm, after reaching the Fetal Breathing Realm, his body underwent further transformation, and his latent potential began to unfold — an astonishing phenomenon.

The human body was truly a marvel beyond comprehension.

"The Evolution Method, Martial Arts Skill, Genetic Method, and even awakening the divine bloodline I studied before, all merely laid the groundwork without tapping into my body’s full potential. Now, this Cultivation Method is the true top-tier Dharmic System, capable of fully awakening my latent potential, like a caterpillar breaking free of its chrysalis to become a butterfly."

Li Yi had gained many insights, gradually realizing the flaws in his previous cultivation journey.

Though his foundation had been solidly built, he could not fully unleash his strength. Otherwise, with his robust foundation and a couple of magic treasures, defeating a Golden Core Cultivator would have been as easy as flipping his palm.

The Evolvers on Earth were not without potential; it was that their potential remained untapped.

However, the Daoist Skill had its weaknesses as well.

It relied too heavily on comprehension.

The Sun and Moon Breathing Technique required personal understanding on many levels. Even with guidance from Xiang Xiangzi, one of the Seven Immortals, without grasping its mysteries, progress would be extremely difficult.

"So that’s why Taiyi could cultivate even during the End of Dharma era?"

At this moment, the Tu Daoist, wrapped in a quilt, squatted beside the survival house. Dribbling snot, he watched as flashes of seven-colored light emanated from the cultivation house and instantly pieced together the truth.

"Taiyi created his own Cave Heaven Blessed Land, using that half-spherical hut to prevent spiritual energy from escaping and a single Seven-Colored Stone to generate energy. Inside the house, the spiritual energy is abundant, so he can cultivate during the End of Dharma era. That hut wouldn’t be too hard to replicate. Back when my Qiankun Tripod was still intact, I could casually refine a few palaces. Pairing them with formations to seal in energy wouldn’t be an issue — the crucial part is that Seven-Colored Stone."

The Tu Daoist sniffled and kept peering at the Seven-Colored Stone through yellow-tinted glass.

Despite his extensive experience, he could not identify this treasure.

He only knew the stone’s spiritual energy was astonishingly vast and beyond imagination.

"Immortal, your Heavenly Dao Sect is widely knowledgeable. Do you recognize the Seven-Colored Stone Taiyi is holding?" the Tu Daoist asked.

Inside the survival house, Xiang Xiangzi, her delicate figure leaning against the window, was also captivated by the radiance of the Seven-Colored Stone. Hearing the Tu Daoist’s question, she coldly replied, "That is not a stone; it is a drop of blood, tainted by Heaven and Earth Qi, condensed into stone."

"A drop of blood? Impossible! What kind of creature’s blood holds such phenomenal spiritual energy? Even the blood of an Enlightened being couldn’t achieve this!" The Tu Daoist’s face was etched with disbelief.

"The universe is infinite, and its mysteries cannot be unraveled by you or me."

Xiang Xiangzi’s enchanting eyes continued to linger on the Seven-Colored radiance. "However, what this Immortal fails to understand is this: even if Taiyi reaches the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top and Five Qi Chaoyuan realms using the Seven-Colored Stone, so what? In an era like this End of Dharma, his cultivation level will soon degrade. Moreover, the spiritual energy within the stone is finite. Without replenishment, it will eventually be exhausted."

"If the Immortal fails to comprehend, then the old Daoist surely cannot understand either. However, the unfolding of destiny becomes increasingly clear; Taiyi is indeed the lifeline of our survival," the Tu Daoist remarked. "Those vendors fled in fear because of the Imperial Court’s people, aimlessly missing their final opportunity. Little did they know that by leaving, they sealed their fate and would never have a chance again."

Xiang Xiangzi let out a cold laugh. "Those mediocrities – even at their peak, they never opened the Three Flowers. What’s the point of them staying? They would only waste Taiyi’s resources. It’s better they ran off. If they hadn’t, this Immortal would have slaughtered them sooner or later. Taiyi may not care, but this Immortal will not tolerate those freeloading frauds."

The Tu Daoist’s eyelids twitched. He was well aware of Xiang Xiangzi’s temperament. Though she appeared tender and alluring in front of Taiyi, one must not forget that she was one of the Seven Immortals of the Heavenly Dao Sect. Without ruthless methods, how could she have held her position in the Tao Court, overseeing her domain?

This was precisely why Wu the Taoist, despite being beaten to a pulp, dared not retaliate and could only weep bitterly in a corner.

Back at his peak, Wu the Taoist had not been able to defeat Xiang Xiangzi. Now, it was no different.

"Your Heavenly Dao Sect really knows how to play boldly. As soon as the Immortal saw Taiyi, you handed him the Primordial Spirit Flower. Additionally, Xuan Yuezi directly bestowed upon him the Xuanhuang Seal. Do your Goddesses even know about such a monumental decision? Whoever possesses the Xuanhuang Seal commands all the cultivators of your Seven Immortals lineage. That’s no trivial matter," the Tu Daoist asked.
