My projections are all the roots of the Holy Spirit.

Chapter 516 Xu Jun's Progress

Yama Realm.

A towering mountain peak pierces the sky like a sharp sword, and the winding mountain road at the foot of the mountain is like a thin line. As the altitude increases, the road becomes rugged and steep.

The green pines and cypresses sway gracefully in the mountain breeze, and the sound of pine waves can be heard from time to time, as if telling an ancient legend. The sunlight shines through the layers of leaves, casting mottled light and shadows, adding a bit of mystery to this quiet mountain forest.

Xu Jun sat cross-legged in the forest, the spiritual energy around him surged and boiled.

This is a third-level spiritual vein, which was recently conquered by the Immortal Alliance. Xu Jun is also nearby, so he is using this precious land to practice at this time.

Generally speaking, during war, it is extremely difficult for monks to practice in peace.

Not to mention that there are enemies eyeing you covetously, even if they are your own people, it is unlikely that they will give you a lot of peaceful time.

Because in war, conflicts can break out at any time.

Once a war breaks out, people must join the fight. If they win, everything will be over, but if they lose or are at a disadvantage, reinforcements will be needed.

Normal Jindan cultivators had a very hard time in this war in the Yama Realm, and even Duan Yuhua, who was known as the commander-in-chief, was no exception. He toiled hard every day, and the energy he consumed was definitely no less than anyone else.

But Xu Jun is different. Although he is also a golden elixir, this golden elixir can be used as a fourth-level Nascent Soul.

Not only that, he is also a fourth-level formation grandmaster.

This status is even slightly higher than that of an ordinary fourth-order Nascent Soul.

The Immortal Alliance will never be short of Nascent Soul cultivators, but they have an infinite desire for fourth-order formation grandmasters.

At the very least, in front of several ancestors at the God Transformation level, the face of a fourth-level formation grandmaster is greater than that of an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator.

Therefore, when Xu Jun proposed to practice in seclusion on this third-level spiritual vein, Duan Yuhua immediately approved it and ordered that he should not be disturbed.

Xu Jun slowly opened his eyes, and his eyes seemed unfocused.

In this silent world, you can occasionally hear the gurgling sound of mountain streams in the distance. The clear sound of flowing water accompanied by the singing of birds constitutes a natural symphony. The top of the mountain is surrounded by clouds and mist, as if it is the place where immortals live, giving people a sense of transcendence.

The sunlight fell on Xu Jun, adding a bit of sacredness to him.

Sensing the surging spiritual power in his body, a hint of surprise flashed in Xu Jun's eyes.

Today, the Immortal Alliance has invaded the Yama Realm for several years.

After resolving the crisis of the Abyss Demon Worms, the Immortal Alliance army accelerated the pace of conquest. With the support of a huge logistical system, after the stalemate period ended, the Immortal Alliance army swept across the Yama Realm at a speed as fast as a bamboo.

Now, there are only a few scattered resistance forces left in the entire Yama Realm, and the main demon armies have been completely wiped out.

In this war, there was no open confrontation between Nascent Soul level warriors.

But Xu Jun knew that Sha Zuo Zhenjun and others had already taken action several times.

Of course, the battle place between Nascent Soul-level masters is not an ordinary place, but they jump out of the planet, or enter a special plane to fight.

If all the Nascent Soul cultivators acted recklessly, then even if the Immortal Alliance could take over the Yama Realm, they would only be able to obtain a ruined and worthless planet.

Xu Jun believed that the native fourth-level demon cultivators of the Yama Realm were definitely not willing to do this.

However, as long as they dare to wantonly destroy the environment of the Yama Realm, they will offend the laws of nature in this world.

If this kind of hatred reaches a certain limit, even a powerful god-transforming level warrior would not be able to help but take action, bullying the weak and slaying demons.

Killing this kind of Nascent Soul will naturally gain a huge amount of merit, and this is the favorite thing for all high-level cultivators.

If the merit is not enough, a Divine Transformation level cultivator might still be able to hold back and give this opportunity to his Nascent Soul level descendants.

However, if the amount of merit exceeds a certain limit, then... the consequences can be imagined.

Therefore, even if the local demon cultivators in the Yama Realm have resentment in their hearts, they will never dare to kill innocent people on a large scale.

However, if it is just a small-scale tampering that is within the supervision range of Heaven, then Heaven will not care.

When the water is too clear, there will be no fish. This principle applies everywhere.

As long as it does not exceed a certain limit, the way of heaven will choose to turn a blind eye.

At this time, Xu Jun discovered that the speed at which his cultivation was increasing was much faster than he had imagined.

It seemed like his promotion to the Golden Core stage happened just yesterday.

And now, his realm is infinitely close to the middle stage of Golden Core.

If other Jindan reached this bottleneck in their cultivation, they would definitely make more preparations. At the very least, they would have to have Jindan Pojing Dan and a large number of auxiliary pills, and then go into seclusion to reach the middle stage of Jindan.

But although Xu Jun sensed the surging spiritual power in his body, he did not take it to heart.

This level of spiritual power surge is a heavy burden for other early Jindan cultivators, but for Xu Jun, there is nothing to say.

He was walking on the path of proving the truth with strength. If he felt like he was facing a formidable enemy even after passing a small Jindan middle stage, then he should change his path as soon as possible instead of looking for a ray of hope on this rugged path. Xu Jun was confident that if he gave himself another ten days or half a month, then breaking through the Jindan middle stage would be a natural thing.

Normally, if a Jindan cultivator wants to break through from the early stage to the middle stage, he cannot do so without decades of hard training. Moreover, this can only be achieved when everything goes smoothly without any obstacles or accidents.

If one accidentally goes astray during practice, or if one is suddenly confronted with a powerful enemy, in order to survive, one may perform some escape technique that damages one's essence.

Well, let alone being unable to advance for decades, even if it’s for hundreds of years, you can only stay where you are.

In the Immortal Alliance's expeditionary army against the Yama Realm this time, there were at least hundreds of Jindan-level cultivators coming in and out.

After these years of hard fighting, many Jindan have gained enough merits and achievements, so they exchanged them for the coveted Mirror-Breaking Pills and Meridian-Protecting Treasures, and tried to break through to a higher level.

Therefore, from time to time, one can always hear rumors such as a certain Jindan being promoted to the middle stage, and another Jindan being promoted to the late stage.

Of course, this is only limited to the Golden Core. As for the Nascent Soul, so far, no one has successfully advanced in this battle.

This is also because the war has not really ended yet, otherwise there will definitely be people preparing to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

For example, if Duan Yuhua successfully conquers the Yama Realm, he will definitely be one of the cultivators striving to reach the Nascent Soul stage.

But whether it will succeed is still unknown.

However, those who were able to successfully break through and advance were all veteran Jindan practitioners who had practiced for many years.

Before joining the war, they were already at the peak of their current realm. If they wanted to go further, they had to try to break through.

But Xu Jun is different. He had just been promoted to the Golden Core level before joining the Yama Realm Expeditionary Force.

It has only been a few years, and the middle stage of the Golden Core is just around the corner.

This speed of cultivation, even if it cannot be said to be unprecedented, is probably unprecedented.

Xu Jun had a vague suspicion that the reason why he practiced so quickly this time was probably not just because of the three projections.

In addition to this, it may be related to the merits and luck that one has obtained from the Yama Realm.

This mysterious thing is far beyond the reach of the Golden Elixir, and it really has some magical effects.

Especially when Xu Jun destroyed the eight special formation points and truly cut off the possibility of invasion by the Abyss Demon Insects, he felt that something seemed different around him.

Moreover, as long as he practices in the Yama Realm, his practice speed will be so fast that it is hard to describe.

During normal practice, even when practicing on a spiritual vein, the cultivator will try to absorb as much external spiritual energy as possible and use it for his own benefit.

This process of absorption and conversion is actually quite difficult. Even for a person with high talent, it still takes time and effort to practice.

However, after Xu Jun resolved the crisis of the abyss demon worms, the situation was completely different once he started practicing.

Others were begging for spiritual energy from the outside world to enter their bodies, but his situation was completely the opposite.

The spiritual power from the outside world was like throwing itself into his arms, all actively, rushing into his meridians. Moreover, the spiritual power that poured in was very gentle and obedient. Even the most violent fire and lightning forces were as docile as water spiritual power, and never caused Xu Jun any trouble.

In contrast, Xu Jun's feelings when he first entered the Yama Realm to practice...

Logically speaking, that should be the normal speed and method of cultivation. However, compared with now, it can only be described as a pile of tears and snot.

To describe it in terms of a normal family, one is a stupid and deformed child born to his ex-wife, while the other is a biological son with perfect looks, emotional intelligence, and IQ.

It is clear at a glance which one is disdainful and which one can't let go.

This is also the real reason why Xu Jun did not leave the Yama Realm after completing the task of destroying the eight special formation eyes, but instead stayed here and began a long-term practice.

Since we have such good conditions, wouldn’t we be idiots if we don’t make full use of them?

This is what spiritual practice is all about. We must take advantage of all favorable conditions and strive to reach a higher level in the shortest possible time.

Although the life span of practitioners is much longer than that of ordinary people, their practice also requires every second.

When you are sailing against the current, if you don't move forward you will move backward.

Suddenly, Xu Jun's eyes lit up slightly and he looked down.

A message appeared on his watch...or rather, it was an order.

After opening it, Xu Jun was even more surprised.

This is an order signed by Duan Yuhua, asking him to report to the base camp within three days.

This was a normal order, but what was abnormal was that Duan Yuhua actually sent it to his watch in the form of an order.

After hesitating for a moment, Xu Jun disappeared in a flash.
