C164 Seeking the fairy, fish dragon, in nirvana!
As the entire Qing-Yun Sect was discussing about the series of events that Su Ye had stirred up in the clan store yesterday, how he had once again become the ninth true disciple, while being conferred as an example to all the disciples by the ninth true disciple, Su Ye had already returned to his residence number 12. As if nothing had happened before, he directly hung up the 'Do Not Disturb' sign in front of the door, and started cultivating quietly.
It was impossible to say that Elder Tian did not have any strength, let alone the Qing-Yun Sect giving him the title of the Ninth Successor Disciple, even if he were to be promoted to the position of Sect Master, it would be useless.
Having stirred up a storm in the clan's stores for an entire day, Su Ye's bountiful harvest was absolutely enviable. Those gains were enough to be counted as an extraordinary fortune. As Su Ye, he would definitely not be as complacent as a miser, guarding this fortune empty-handed.
Wealth meant that one had to be able to develop their own strength. That was how wealth worked. Otherwise, it would just be a dream come true.
Therefore, when Su Ye returned to the twelfth courtyard, he did not do anything but go into closed door cultivation. Even counting today, there were only barely two days left in the Great Sect Competition. Su Ye sensed that there would probably be some unexpected changes after the competition this time, so he had to make the best use of his time to raise his strength.
As far as he was concerned, in order to increase his strength, the first thing he needed to do was to raise the grade of the Five Directions Spirit Fire in his body. Su Ye now had Star Flame Pills, Green Aurora Fruits and quite a few Five Elements spirit treasures, all of which could be used to raise the level of his spirit fire.
Su Ye didn't have any painful thoughts. First was the Star Flame Pill, which was worth five hundred thousand Star Pellet s each. Su Ye had eaten thirty of them in one go, and the Star Flame Pill had completely lost its effect on him.
Unfortunately, the quality of the Five Directions Spirit Fire as well as the quality of the five elements in his body had both improved, but the extent of the increase wasn't great. It didn't allow him to raise the Five Directions Spirit Fire all the way to the middle fourth grade.
Only when the Cyan Aurora Fruit and the Five Elements spirit treasures that Su Ye had bought from the Spirit Treasure Shop had been refined by Su Ye, when he had absorbed the essence of the five elements, did the spirit energy and fire energy in his body truly rise, and even his physique had received enormous benefits.
One day later.
After Su Ye had refined all of the Cyan Aurora Fruit and Five Elements Spirit Treasure, the Five Directions Spirit Fire in his body finally reached the early fifth-grade.
From the early fourth stage to the early fifth stage, the level of spirit fire increased by about one stage from the early fourth stage to the early fifth stage. However, this level had consumed a total of two billion of Su Ye's Star Pellet s' worth of resources, which was simply outrageous.
Two billion Star Pellet was nothing to the big powers, but it had to be known that in the cultivation world and the mortal world, there were a lot of people living at the bottom. To the countless people at the bottom level of Immortal Cultivation World, two billion Star Pellet were an astronomical number.
Such a large amount of resources had merely raised Su Ye's spirit fire by a level. Moreover, this was only the leveling up of the fourth grade to the fifth grade. From the fifth grade to the sixth grade, the sixth grade to the seventh grade to the eighth grade to the ninth grade, the amount of resources needed to rise exponentially was simply a number which many people despaired of. Even some of the so-called great aristocratic families in Yuzhou might not be able to afford such resources.
It was only then that Su Ye truly understood the importance of being rich in this land, and understood how difficult it was for spirit fire to grow like what Mo Xingtian said.
But then again, when the Five Directions Spirit Fire reached the initial level of the fifth grade, its power would increase by at least ten times compared to before. It would subtly refine the body in a different way than before, and with the influx of a large number of heavenly dew s, they would be refined into the body by the Five Directions Spirit Fire.
It was not only an increase in strength, but more importantly, it was an increase in essence. It was an increase in the shape of life, a truly transcending the mundane nature of the mortal world from the filth of the mortal world to the body, causing the body to become more and more spiritual.
However, it was still a long term process for his body to completely lose its heavy and dirty mortal nature and reach the state of being able to fully control the state of mind and fully display the ability to create spirits of all living things.
would not reject this process, because it was impossible for him to become a fatty in a single breath, and tempering his body to become a spirit being in a short period of time was not necessarily a true spirit being. He believed that in the process of becoming a spirit being from a turbid mortal body, cultivators should always be stepping on the road to becoming a spirit being.
But he didn't mind either. While he was slowly tempering his body, he would use other methods to increase his strength, so when his Five Directions Spirit Fire reached the early fifth-grade and he no longer had any resources to continue improving, he decisively chose the "Imperishable Golden Body Technique".
The Imperishable Gilded Body was one of the most powerful immortal arts of the Buddhist Sect. When cultivated to the pinnacle, it could even turn the body into an Imperishable Gilded Body that couldn't even be destroyed by heavenly tribulation.
By chance, Su Ye obtained this immortal technique, and it was only the first nine stages, far from sufficient to cultivate the Imperishable Golden Body. However, the body itself was used to cultivate, aimed at refining the body to a realm that normal people would not be able to imagine, and it coincided with Su Ye's current body tempering cultivation. Under the combination of the two stages, not only did they not weaken each other, they actually complemented each other.
Just like this, with a solid foundation, Su Ye was able to smoothly enter the first stage of the "Imperishable Golden Body Technique", one of the strongest Immortal Arts in the Buddhist Sect. After that, in just six hours, under the attacks of a large number of heavenly dew, he managed to cultivate the first stage to the Perfection Stage.
He only said that the first stage had been completely mastered by Su Ye without a single flaw. He did not have any true intent like other martial arts or magic techniques that had reached the Great Perfection Stage.
Even so, Su Ye's strength had finally welcomed a true explosive increase. Not only did his body's tenacious defense greatly increase, even his pure strength had reached a strength of 600,000 kilograms in one go.
According to what Mo Xingtian had said, the limit of a normal Transcending Mortality Stage expert's strength was five hundred thousand kilograms. Su Ye was already considered a genius when he reached five hundred thousand kilograms, so he had already truly exceeded the threshold of a genius.
However, this achievement at first sight seemed easy to achieve, as if everything was easily achievable. In reality, Su Ye also knew his own suffering.
The threshold for entry into the "Imperishable Golden Body Technique" was very low. Cultivators with conditions from the Transcending Mortality Stage could start to cultivate it, and there was a very high chance of succeeding. But in reality, in Su Ye's opinion, there were very few people who could truly cultivate it. To be able to reach the legendary state where the Imperishable Golden Body could not even be destroyed by the heavenly tribulation, it was even rarer.
First of all, to practice the "Imperishable Golden Body Technique" required a fourth level spirit fire. The higher the grade of the spirit fire, the easier it was to learn it.
This alone was enough to trap many cultivators. This was because when most cultivators were at the seventh level of the Transcending Mortality Stage, the spiritual fire in their bodies was a Tier 1 spiritual fire. This was something that many people were unable to accomplish.
Secondly, when one truly cultivates the "Imperishable Golden Body Technique", the Spirit Fire in the body would follow the secret technique to refine the body. The Spirit Fire would penetrate deep into the body in a most ferocious manner, directly into every cell, causing a terrifying pain.
From Su Ye's perspective, it was a kind of skin cutting pain that normal people could endure. It was like cutting and burning souls, completely incomparable to the purgatory searing soul in the legends.
Even if it was Su Ye, with his strong will, tenacious willpower, and the determination to step on the cloud to reach the peak of the Heavenly Dao, he had almost ruptured his mind a few times when enduring this kind of pain. At that time, he had already wanted to give up on this supreme Immortal Technique of the Buddhist Sect.
The most abnormal thing was that he couldn't use any tricky method to block the pain from his body when he was cultivating this immortal technique. This was because the objective of the "Imperishable Gilded Body" was to cultivate it to an indestructible body. Not only did it have an indestructible body, but more importantly, it had an indestructible soul and will.
Once the perception of pain was blocked, it would mean that there was a lack of discipline in one's will. In the end, one would not be able to cultivate the Imperishable Golden Body and would only be able to cultivate in vain.
Therefore, the whole process was basically a torment. It was so painful that it felt like it lasted ten thousand years every second. To say that it was a torture that was worse than death was not excessive at all.
Therefore, when Su Ye reached the great perfection of the first stage, he was already exhausted. Even if he could still cultivate to the second stage with the current conditions, Su Ye was temporarily unable to muster up that courage.
He could only silently sigh. At the same time, his heart experienced a rare enlightenment. One could seek immortality, become a fish, become a dragon, suffer countless injuries, and suffer countless hardships. One would be able to rebirth after experiencing tribulation!
