Lingxiao Immortal Clan.

In addition, with the advancement of the Netherworld Blade, its ability to break through space has become even stronger.

Furthermore, Ling Pengyun possesses a strong spiritual sense, comparable to the early stage of the Void Refinement realm. With the aid of the Netherworld Blade, his spatial escape techniques could potentially rival those of a Void Refinement expert.

Secondly, this treasure also has the potential to break through the seal of a sixth-order low-grade formation, thus allowing one to enter that formation unnoticed.

And these effects are truly remarkable.

'If used skillfully, this tactic could even easily infiltrate the formation and launch a surprise attack on the enemy.'

Ling Pengyun secretly rejoiced.

Secondly, the Netherworld Blade is also more sensitive to spatial power, which indirectly makes it easier to search for hidden realms or small domains in the endless river of void.

In addition, although this kind of search for secret realms is quite tedious and time-consuming.

However, once you can find some larger secret realms or areas, the benefits are also great.

Therefore, Ling Pengyun planned to try to use the Netherworld Blade to enter the endless river of void and search for secret realms or small worlds after he advanced to the Void Refinement stage.

'Furthermore, whether one wishes to upgrade the Netherworld Blade again or to reforge the Five Elements Magic Beads, both require higher-grade refining materials, which are difficult to collect in a short period of time.'

'Indirectly, we can temporarily set aside this matter and instead focus on breaking through to the Void Refinement stage.'

Ling Pengyun secretly plotted for the future.

Subsequently, he used the abundant cultivation resources he had obtained from the Ice Profound lineage of the Frost Immortal Sect in his early years to cultivate in seclusion, striving to reach the peak of the Nascent Soul stage as soon as possible.

Furthermore, as time goes by, he has now cultivated more than 3,400 strands of Nascent Soul spiritual power, which is only a little over 100 strands away from the Nascent Soul limit of 3,600 strands of spiritual power. The two are already very close.

In addition, the cultivation resources he possessed were of a high grade, which enabled him to cultivate at a rapid pace, and he could even cultivate at least a dozen Nascent Soul spiritual powers every year.

Therefore, in just five years, he successfully took the final step.

The pinnacle of the Nascent Soul stage!

'After hundreds of years, we have finally reached this point.'

'Furthermore, he should leave the family and return to the Ice Profound lineage, and try to see if he can get their support to break through to the Void Refinement stage.'

Ling Pengyun sensed the changes in his cultivation level and couldn't help but look on with anticipation.

However, before returning to the Ice Profound lineage, he first went to the Cold Spirit Minor Realm and met with the Star Sea Ancestor who was lurking in the Surging Waves Immortal Sect.

As early as a year ago, with the help of the primordial spirits of many high-level Nascent Soul cultivators given to him by Ling Pengyun, the Star Sea Ancestor successfully refined a total of twenty-four high-level breakthrough spiritual items.

Even their lowest grade is fifth-grade superior.

Moreover, there are three top-grade fifth-tier spiritual items for breaking through realms: Star Sea Transformation Elixir, Star Sea Divine Descent Elixir, and Star Sea Spirit Descent Elixir.

Their effects are all extremely powerful. They are refining methods that Star Sea Pavilion obtained from various forces in the Heavenly River Realm in its early years. They can enhance spiritual power and divine sense in a short period of time, and can also weaken the solidity of bottlenecks, which greatly helps in breaking through realms.

Furthermore, each of them can increase the probability of a Nascent Soul cultivator reaching the Nascent Soul Perfection stage by nearly 30%, and even increase the probability of a cultivator reaching the Void Refinement stage by 10%.

Most importantly, since the three substances have different effects, their medicinal effects will not conflict with each other, and they can even be used in combination.

Indirectly, the value of those three items becomes exceptionally high, and when combined, they can at least increase a cultivator's chances of breaking through to the Void Refinement stage by 30%.

"With such a treasure, my chances of breaking through to the Void Refinement stage will be much higher."

"By the way, Ancestor, your skill in refining high-level breakthrough spiritual items is truly extraordinary. I never expected that you would be able to refine so many fifth-grade top-quality breakthrough spiritual items with the primordial spirits of those high-level Nascent Soul cultivators that I gave you back then. This is beyond my expectations and a pleasant surprise."

"Furthermore, Ancestor, the number of these top-grade fifth-tier breakthrough spirit items far exceeds the 30% probability of refining spirit items that we originally agreed upon. Therefore, I am truly grateful that you are willing to hand these things over to me. Moreover, I will definitely not take them for nothing. You must keep these spirit items."

"Secondly, if I am able to reach the Void Refinement Realm in the future, I will definitely do my best to help you break through to the Void Refinement Realm without hesitation."

Ling Pengyun stared at the three medicine bottles containing top-grade fifth-tier Star Sea Transformation Elixir and other spiritual items. His eyes flashed with countless spiritual lights. He immediately took out a large number of high-level resources from his storage bag, which he considered his family's wealth, and handed them to the Star Sea Ancestor.

In addition, high-level breakthrough spiritual items of the fifth rank are extremely difficult to refine, several times more difficult than ordinary fifth-rank top-grade treasure liquid.

Even the Radiant Star Dao Lord, who is known as the number one alchemist in the Heavenly River Realm and is a veteran fifth-grade top-quality alchemist, probably wouldn't be confident in refining it.

Therefore, even though Ling Pengyun had given many high-grade Nascent Souls to the Star Sea Ancestor, Ling Pengyun assumed that the Star Sea Ancestor could at most refine one or two top-grade fifth-tier breakthrough spiritual items.

Moreover, as long as the Star Sea Ancestor can refine one or two fifth-grade top-quality breakthrough spiritual items, it will be considered that he has met the requirements that Ling Pengyun originally entrusted him to refine spiritual items.

It is extremely rare that he is willing to give three shares to Ling Pengyun.

After all, under normal circumstances, any extra fifth-grade top-quality spiritual items that are refined can belong to the owner.

Secondly, the value of such spiritual items is extremely high. In fact, those three sets of fifth-grade top-level high-level breakthrough spiritual items alone are probably comparable to the value of the high-level Nascent Souls that Ling Pengyun gave to the Star Sea Ancestor.

If we add the other twenty-one fifth-grade high-quality breakthrough spiritual items that Ancestor Xinghai helped refine this time...

Ling Pengyun has made a great profit by entrusting him with the task of refining breakthrough spiritual items. "Pengyun, you don't need to be so polite with me. Besides, we are practically family. Moreover, I know that you are about to break through to the Void Refinement Realm, and you have also gained the favor of the powerful Ice Frost Immortal Sect's Ice Profound lineage in the Qingxia Realm, giving you many opportunities to break through to the Void Refinement Realm. Therefore, I plan to give you all the extra fifth-grade top-quality breakthrough spiritual items that I have refined."

"Secondly, the reason I was able to refine so many top-grade fifth-tier breakthrough spiritual items is mainly due to the fact that you gave me so many high-level Nascent Soul cultivators' primordial spirits as practice materials. Indirectly, my skill in refining these kinds of spiritual items has improved a lot, and I have to thank you for this."

"In addition, although I gave you all the extra fifth-grade top-quality spiritual items I refined, I kept all the extra spiritual items I refined while helping you refine the fifth-grade high-quality breakthrough spiritual items. In fact, the number of those spiritual items reached a full nine, which was enough for me to make a fortune."

"Therefore, you can rest assured to take those top-grade fifth-tier breakthrough spiritual items that I gave you as an extra gift."

Ancestor Xinghai smiled broadly and spoke in detail.

Furthermore, according to him, those three top-grade fifth-tier breakthrough spiritual artifacts were all crafted by him using the divine soul of "Po Huan Lao Dao Jun," a top-tier Nascent Soul cultivator from the Ice Soul lineage, along with various rare spiritual artifacts.

After all, the soul of that old Daoist Po Huan was extremely powerful, even possessing the power of several stages of Void Refinement, making it an excellent material for refining high-level spiritual objects.

Otherwise, even if the Star Sea Ancestor was highly skilled at crafting breakthrough spiritual items, he probably wouldn't have been able to create such a powerful treasure.

Secondly, although Ancestor Xinghai, like Ling Pengyun, had reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage for many years.

However, unlike Ling Pengyun, he did not gain the favor of the Frost Immortal Sect of the Qingxia Realm in a very special way, and thus received a lot of support from them.

Therefore, his cultivation progress is not as good as Ling Pengyun's. As a result, he has only cultivated more than three thousand strands of Nascent Soul spiritual power, which is still some distance away from the peak of Nascent Soul perfection.

Under such circumstances, even if he temporarily keeps the extra fifth-grade top-quality breakthrough spiritual item he refined, it probably won't be of much use.

In addition, he knew that Ling Pengyun had a high probability of being able to refine his Void Realm by relying on the Ice Frost Immortal Sect's Ice Profound One Pulse.

Moreover, if this matter succeeds, he will surely reap extraordinary benefits.

Not to mention, he had a good relationship with Ling Pengyun.

Therefore, he might as well take out those high-level breakthrough spiritual items he had specially refined and use them against Ling Pengyun.

This can also be considered his investment.

"In that case, the old Daoist Po Huan, who almost caused me a lot of trouble back then, actually helped me a great deal."

"Furthermore, Ancestor, since you have said so, I will not stand on ceremony with you, but I will definitely remember this kindness."

Ling Pengyun expressed his heartfelt gratitude.

"Hahaha, you little rascal."

Star Sea Ancestor laughed and scolded.

Afterwards, the two chatted for a few more minutes, and then Ling Pengyun began to examine the remaining twenty-one fifth-grade high-quality breakthrough spiritual items refined by the Star Sea Ancestor.

Although their quality may seem somewhat lacking, the Star Sea Ancestor's skill in refining such spiritual objects has greatly increased recently.

Their quality is exceptionally good, and they can even reach the top level in their class.

Therefore, even if the effects of such breakthrough spiritual items are not as good as those of top-grade fifth-tier items and cannot significantly enhance the Void Refinement realm, they are still not far behind and are far superior to ordinary breakthrough spiritual items of the same tier.

They can even increase the probability of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator reaching the Nascent Soul Perfection stage by at least 10-20%.

Moreover, among those twenty-one spiritual items were seven portions of Star Sea Transformation Essence Liquid, seven portions of Star Sea Divine Descent Liquid, and seven portions of Star Sea Spirit Descent Liquid.

Furthermore, those three spiritual items can be used in combination.

Upon closer examination, the twenty-one spiritual items could be roughly divided into seven major portions, enough to successively assist seven late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators in their attempt to reach perfection.

"With these breakthrough spiritual objects, the Lady, my cousin Pengxing who is far away in the Myriad Souls Ghost Realm, and the three powerful late-stage Nascent Soul spirit ghosts that Senior Ghost Immortal Lamp nurtured for our clan—these five Nascent Soul Perfection seedlings—all have the opportunity to break through to the Nascent Soul Perfection realm in a short period of time."

Ling Pengyun's brows were full of brilliance.

It is also worth mentioning that the high-level breakthrough spiritual items he obtained this time were all the high-level breakthrough spiritual items currently in the family's possession.

However, in recent years, Yan Siyi and the other five Nascent Soul cultivators have accumulated one or two high-level breakthrough spiritual items with the help of their family's resources.

In addition, the family had just acquired a batch of high-level breakthrough spiritual items.

Their chances of reaching the peak of the Nascent Soul stage can also be greatly increased.

As for the old patriarch Ling Yunhong, the formation master Ling Penglin, and the genius talisman cultivator Ling Lihao, all of them are late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators and are still some distance from the perfect Nascent Soul stage.

Therefore, they are only considered as the second batch of Nascent Soul cultivators at the peak of their cultivation. Even if they were given a high-grade fifth-tier breakthrough spirit item for the time being, they would still find it difficult to maximize their benefits.

Afterwards, Ling Pengyun handed over the fifth-grade high-quality breakthrough spiritual items in his hands to five veteran late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, including Yan Siyi, to help them break through to the Perfect Nascent Soul stage.

During this time, Ancestor Xinghai also returned to the Tianhe Realm and Cangxuan Realm, and handed over the nine sets of fifth-grade high-quality breakthrough spiritual items that he had obtained extra while refining breakthrough spiritual items for Ling Pengyun to Xinghai Pavilion, to assist Xinghai Pavilion in cultivating strong people and accumulating foundation.
