The Sword God of the Universe
Chapter 122 - 122 122 Promotion to Innate

Chapter 122: Chapter 122: Promotion to Innate Chapter 122: Chapter 122: Promotion to Innate After eliminating the Sky Wolf Gang, Jing Yan had nearly twenty Top-grade Spirit Stones on him.

Then, after killing Ran Hou on Soul-breaking Cliff, he obtained a few more Top-grade Spirit Stones, totaling twenty-two.

Advancing to the Innate Realm required a lot of Primordial Energy support, so Jing Yan not only took out a large number of ordinary spiritual stones but also brought out all twenty-two Top-grade Spirit Stones.

At this time, Jing Yan was undoubtedly a bit nervous yet also somewhat excited.

Although he had advanced to the Innate Realm before, the Innate Realm of that time and the current one were completely different concepts.

Even now, before advancing to the Innate Realm, Jing Yan could easily defeat his past self who had already reached the Innate Realm.

How strong would he be after successfully advancing to the Innate Realm now?

Jing Yan himself was not sure.

“Let’s begin!”

Jing Yan took the green medicine into his hands.

A flicker of brilliance in his eyes briefly shimmered, then gradually faded.

The medicine was extremely bitter as it entered his mouth, causing Jing Yan to frown involuntarily.

Still, he forced himself to swallow all the medicine.

A burst of flames seemed to ignite in his abdomen.

Primordial Energy in his entire body’s Martial Arts Meridians suddenly began to circulate and boil.

It was like adding some water to a pot of boiling oil.

Subconsciously, Jing Yan began to operate the Sky Vaulting First Divine Skill, nearly losing control of the Primordial Energy.

“Such a terrifying medicine!”

Although Tianshui had said before using it that this medicine would play a very important role in aiding his advancement to the Innate Realm, Jing Yan had never experienced it and couldn’t imagine how effective it could be.

Now, Jing Yan understood.

He focused his mind, placing all his consciousness on controlling the Primordial Energy within the Martial Arts Meridians.

As Jing Yan continuously absorbed the effects of the medicine, his momentum was also continually climbing.

Primordial Energy in the Martial Arts Meridians constantly flowed to the abdomen and then gathered and condensed.

Gradually, a vortex formed by mist began to take shape in Jing Yan’s abdomen.

This vortex was known among martial artists as the Fog Vortex.

Only martial artists advancing to the Innate Realm could form the Fog Vortex.

The consolidation of the Fog Vortex also represented the most difficult part of the entire advancement process.

During the consolidation of the Fog Vortex, the martial artist absolutely could not make any mistakes.

Once the Fog Vortex became unstable, it would collapse, and the advancement would be a complete failure.

A failed breakthrough would profoundly impact the martial artist’s Divine Soul, making it impossible for this person to attempt another breakthrough for a long time.

“Condense!” Jing Yan’s thoughts continued to impact.

So far, his Fog Vortex was forming quite smoothly.

With the help of the medicine, there had been almost no obstacles in shaping the initial form of the Fog Vortex.

The medicine Tianshui taught Jing Yan to prepare clearly served mainly to condense the Fog Vortex.

Generally, when a martial artist advanced to the Innate Realm and tried to form the initial shape of the Fog Vortex, it would take at least several days or even more than ten days.

However, Jing Yan only took one day, thanks to the medicine.

Moreover, there were no obstacles during the consolidation process.

Next was to consolidate the Fog Vortex, stabilizing it.

This step was also very important.

The formation of the initial shape of the Fog Vortex was only a halfway success, and failing the subsequent consolidation would likewise lead to complete failure.

Jing Yan dared not relax at all, and he began to absorb the Primordial Energy from the Top-grade Spirit Stones.

Under the operation of Sky Vaulting First Divine Skill, the Primordial Energy inside the Top-grade Spirit Stones transformed into a flow-like fluctuation, pouring into Jing Yan’s body.

Through the Martial Arts Meridians, it eventually entered the Fog Vortex.

At this point, Jing Yan could clearly see within himself the gradually growing Fog Vortex in his abdomen.

So far, Jing Yan’s Fog Vortex was only the size of a thumb.

When the Fog Vortex grew to the size of a fist, it would essentially be stabilized, and this advancement would be considered a success.

Having previously experienced advancing to the Innate Realm, Jing Yan was very familiar with the process.

He knew where he was in his advancement and what he still needed to pay attention to.

One Top-grade Spirit Stone!

Two Top-grade Spirit Stones!

…

The Primordial Energy needed to consolidate Jing Yan’s Fog Vortex was obviously far from comparable to that of an ordinary martial artist.

His own Primordial Energy was too robust, added to that the Sky Vaulting First Divine Skill, a defy-the-heavens Cultivation Technique, the power his Fog Vortex could invoke was also unimaginable to ordinary martial artists.

Consuming Primordial Energy, Jing Yan didn’t care.

The more resources he consumed now, the more formidable the strength he would possess after the breakthrough.

Time slowly disappeared.

Sunrise, sunset, day after day.

In a blink, Jing Yan’s closed-door cultivation for advancement had already passed a week.

On this day, Jing Yan’s meditating body trembled slightly.

It was at this moment that Jing Yan clearly felt the Fog Vortex in his abdomen forming a close connection with his body, becoming an integral part of it.

Primordial Energy flowed smoothly from the Fog Vortex to the Martial Arts Meridians, and from the Martial Arts Meridians back to the Fog Vortex.

Jing Yan knew, he had succeeded.

His advancement was successful.

“Sigh!” Jing Yan breathed out a long sigh of relief, opened his eyes, looked around, his eyes brimming with brilliant Divine Light.

Innate!

Finally, he had once again advanced to the Innate Realm.

Jing Yan clenched his palm.

Previously, when his realm continuously fell from the Innate Realm to just retaining the Martial Arts Third Layer Heaven, that period was undoubtedly very dark for Jing Yan.

Had it been someone else, they might not have accepted such a blow, leading to giving up or even committing suicide.

But Jing Yan had not given up; he had been persisting.

Now back in the Innate Realm, though the realm was the same, his current strength had already surpassed his past capabilities by several streets.

Feeling the robust Primordial Energy in the Fog Vortex and Martial Arts Meridians, a slow smile appeared on Jing Yan’s face.

He did not get up; instead, he continued to use spiritual stones to absorb the Primordial Energy.

In front of him, placed heaps of spiritual stones were divided by Jing Yan, consisting of several hundred stones, and he placed his hand above the pile, beginning to absorb the energy within.

Although the Primordial Energy within ordinary spiritual stones was far less pure than that within Top-grade Spirit Stones, for now, Jing Yan could only temporarily use ordinary spiritual stones to continue filling the Fog Vortex in his abdomen.

Because the twenty-two Top-grade Spirit Stones had all already turned to dust.

The resources he consumed for advancing to the Innate Realm were truly terrifying.
