The power of chaos requires tens or even hundreds of times more resources than cultivators of the same level. If he expended those resources, he would be lucky if he could break through to the ninth rank of the True Immortal Realm; The Golden Immortal Realm would still be very far away.
David put away the storage bag and walked towards the next yard.
Jiang Xuelan had already woken up and was standing in the yard, her snow-white dress shimmering faintly under the morning light.
He held the Heart of the Abyss in his hand, and ice-blue light radiated from the bead, fusing with his power as an Ice God.
A night of practice had completely solidified his cultivation to the first level of the Golden Immortal Realm. Her face was rosy again, and the light in her eyes was clearer than before.
Seeing David come in, Jiang Xuelan put away her Cold Abyss Heart and walked over to him.
“How was your rest?” David asked.
“very good.”
Jiang Xuelan nodded. “The spiritual energy in Qingyun Cave is much richer than outside. One day of cultivation here is equivalent to ten days of cultivation outside. With the help of the Heart of the Cold Abyss, my cultivation should be able to break through to the second rank of the Golden Immortal Realm in a short time.”
David took out a storage ring from his storage bag and handed it to the woman.
“What’s this?”
“I will give you half of the resources of the Temple of Light.”
Jiang Xuelan was silent for a moment, then shook her head. “No. These resources were obtained with your life; I cannot accept them. Moreover, you need these resources to break through your cultivation level. Your Chaos Power requires too many resources; if you give half of them to me, you won’t have enough for yourself.”
“It is precisely because I need so many resources that these resources have become meaningless to me.” David slipped the storage ring into his hand. “However, these resources are enough for you to break through from the first rank of the Golden Immortal Realm to the third rank. You have followed me all this way, risking your life several times. I can’t let you follow me for nothing.”
Jiang Xuelan looked at the storage ring in her hand and was silent for a long time.
He knew David was telling the truth. The power of chaos requires tens or even hundreds of times more resources than cultivators of the same level. Although the Palace of Light had abundant resources, it was just a drop in the ocean for David.
However, these resources were a treasure trove for him, enough to allow his cultivation to progress rapidly.
“Good.”
Jiang Xuelan put away her storage ring, looked up at David, and a flash of determination flashed in her icy blue eyes. “I will use these resources to improve my cultivation as quickly as possible. Once I reach the twentieth level, I will not hinder you.”
David nodded, then took out a small black tower, the size of a palm, from his storage bag and held it in his palm.
The small tower was entirely black, covered in densely arranged runes and glowing faintly under the morning light, as if something was sleeping within it.
“You train in the tower, I’ll wait for you here,” David said.
Jiang Xuelan nodded, placed the Demon Suppressing Tower on the stone table in the courtyard, and channeled spiritual power into it.
The small tower slowly grew in size, from the size of a palm to the height of an adult. The tower door opened automatically, and an ancient aura radiated from the tower.
Jiang Xuelan glanced at David, then took a deep breath and stepped into the Demon Suppressing Tower.
The tower gate slowly closed behind him, and the small tower shrunk back to the size of a palm, lying quietly on the stone table.
David kept the Demon Suppression Tower and put it in his storage bag.
One month.
He had been in the tower for almost ten years.
With ten years of experience and the resources of the Heart of the Cold Abyss and the Hall of Light, Jiang Xuelan’s cultivation should have experienced a qualitative leap.
David couldn’t keep quiet either.
He turned and walked out of the courtyard towards the main hall of the Daoist temple.
For the next three days, David lived in Qingyun Cave.
During the day, he discussed the Dao with Master Yuxu, listened to Master Yuxu explain the history and genealogy of the Daoist sects, and learned about the division of power of the various heavens as well as the grudges and entanglements between the major sects.
Having lived for tens of thousands of years, the Jade Void God’s understanding of the Celestial Realm far surpassed anyone, and every word he spoke was of great benefit to David.
That night, David trained alone at the Cliff of Enlightenment, fully activating the Mind Concentration Technique. The power of chaos flowed through his meridians, drawing in the spiritual energy of the Blue Cloud Cave Heaven that was about to melt little by little, refining it into the purest power of chaos.
Wudao Cliff is the place with the most abundant spiritual energy in Qingyun Cave. Standing at the top of the cliff, you can see the entire valley and distant mountain peaks appearing and disappearing in the moonlight.
The night wind blew hard at the top of the cliff, making David’s robes flutter, but he didn’t notice it at all, just closed his eyes and focused on the flow of spiritual energy within his body.
In just three days, his cultivation level rose from the mid stage of the eighth rank of the True Immortal Realm to the late stage of the eighth rank.
Even though he had only increased by half a minor realm level, the power of chaos had become more concentrated than before. Each strand of spiritual power was like a divine sword that had been forged through countless trials, containing unimaginable power.
The protective runes of the Great Luo Golden Scripture continued to spread under the influence of spiritual power, and golden dragon patterns had covered 72 percent of his skin.
I’m one step closer to achieving the perfect golden body.
