The path to immortality through martial arts begins with being forced into marriage!

Three crystal-clear, sword-shaped jade talismans floated slowly in Xi Yue's hand, each containing boundless sharpness; a single glance was enough to feel a pain that penetrated deep into the soul.

Xi Yue's voice was somewhat hurried as she said, "This is formed from the purest wisp of my original spiritual power that I can currently mobilize, mixed with a trace of the suppressing Daoist aura of the Floating Pagoda."

"Each sword strike, once unleashed, can sever the soul of any cultivator below the Nascent Soul stage!"

"No matter how strong their physical body or how powerful their protective magic treasures, as long as they haven't condensed their Nascent Soul and their souls haven't undergone a fundamental transformation, they'll all be as fragile as paper under this sword of thought, their bodies and souls annihilated, never to be reborn!"

Upon hearing this, Cui Yi gasped in shock!

What Xi Yue meant was that anyone below the Nascent Soul Realm could be killed!

Nascent Soul cultivators are no ordinary bunch. Above Qi Refining is Foundation Establishment, above Foundation Establishment is Core Formation, above Core Formation is Golden Core, and above Golden Core is Nascent Soul!

Looking across the entire Great Yan Dynasty, there are fewer than a handful of Nascent Soul cultivators!

Theoretically speaking, as long as those old monsters in the Nascent Soul Realm don't make a move, these three sword-shaped jade talismans in front of him would be enough to make him walk sideways in the Great Yan Dynasty!

Although he can only kill three, as long as he doesn't say anything, who knows how many cards he still has up his sleeve?

Would someone who has cultivated to the Golden Core realm easily give up their life?

It's like a street fight. The other side has more people and more power, but as long as you fight back desperately and catch the toughest one, beat him to a pulp.

The next time they face off, everyone will wonder if they will be the next unlucky one to be targeted.

This deterrent effect is unparalleled.

Moreover, this is an attack method that directly targets the soul, the kind that annihilates both body and soul!

For cultivators who pursue immortality and regard the soul as the foundation, this kind of death is a thousand times more terrifying than the destruction of the physical body!

Who would dare to gamble their centuries of arduous training on the fact that he doesn't have a second or third sword?

"Thank you very much, Senior Xiyue!"

"If there's nothing else, I'll begin my seclusion."

"Respectfully bidding farewell to our senior!"

After Cui Yi's voice completely dissipated, the doll-like ball of light reappeared.

This time, however, the ball of light seemed to be surrounded by a ring of constantly flowing, mysterious runes, which tightly enveloped it.

Cui Yi was not in a hurry to leave. The life force he had absorbed from killing those three people was now the perfect opportunity to use it!

With the Refining Spirit Technique in hand, all future lifespan will be prioritized and poured into it, and the Qi Induction Technique can be completely forgotten and ignored!

A single Heaven-Rank cultivation technique is enough to defy fate and give him the foundation to compete with those peerless geniuses and ancient lineages!

"The Floating Pagoda, deduce the Divine Refining Technique! Consumes one hundred years of lifespan!"

Cui Yi risked his lifespan of a hundred years without hesitation, believing that his current investment would eventually come back to him in various ways and in various forms.

You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub!

Upon receiving the command, the majestic pagoda began to spin wildly!

Each rotation represents a portion of Cui Yi's lifespan being lost!

"Deduction begins!"

......

[First Year]: You are fully focused on trying to learn the Refining Spirit Technique, but your mental strength is like a stubborn rock, difficult to carve, and each attempt makes very little progress.

[Twentieth Year]: After countless failures and minor adjustments, you can barely guide a trace of extremely weak spiritual energy to complete an incomplete cycle along the eight extraordinary meridians.

[Fiftyth Year]: You are finally able to use your mental power to complete a full cycle, which makes you feel a little clearer, but you are still far from successfully concentrating your mind.

[Seventieth Year]: You finally grasped that mysterious feeling and successfully condensed a wisp of scattered spiritual energy into the most primitive form of mental power.

[Ninth Year]: Your nascent divine consciousness gradually stabilizes, enabling you to complete the most basic visualization cycle. You begin to slowly absorb the sparse spiritual energy drifting between heaven and earth using your mental power.

[100th Year]: Although your telekinesis is still only at the beginner level, it can already cover a radius of ten kilometers, and your detection is clearer. You can affect objects weighing thousands of kilograms by telekinesis, and it even has a certain degree of offensiveness. You have initially mastered telekinesis.

In addition, you discovered an unexpected delight.

The mental power of the Refining Spirit Technique can accelerate the gathering of spiritual energy, greatly increasing your cultivation speed. Even when you are not cultivating, your mental power can autonomously capture spiritual energy for meridian refinement.

......

The simulation is complete!

boom!

The results of a century of cultivation merged into Cui Yi's body at the moment of its end. Before he could react, he heard a muffled popping sound from his dantian!

The next second, Cui Yi was shocked to find that his cultivation level had actually broken through from the peak of Qi Refining Realm to the Foundation Establishment Realm!

Ordinary cultivators break through to the Foundation Establishment stage by accumulating enough true qi through the circulation of cultivation techniques or by using elixirs to achieve the state of true qi liquefaction.

Cui Yi's breakthrough, however, came naturally, without the slightest pause!

The true energy within his dantian and dantian had completely liquefied, and the immense power made Cui Yi want to unleash it!

"The first level of surging waves!"

Cui Yi let out a low shout and thrust out his right palm flat, without making contact with any physical object; it was merely a strike in mid-air.

call--!

The palm strike pierced the air, faintly accompanied by the sounds of wind and thunder!

A visible pale golden wave of energy burst forth from his palm, distorting the air and producing a low, booming sound as it passed through.

This is clearly one of the characteristics of the Foundation Establishment stage: True Qi taking form!

If this palm strike were to land squarely on his flesh and blood, with his current Foundation Establishment cultivation, its power would probably be enough to easily shatter the protective true energy of an ordinary mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator!

Compared to his Qi Refining Realm days, he is now several times stronger!

"good!"

Cui Yi's eyes gleamed even brighter. While his true nature was changing, he had never yet experienced the effects of his mental power.

With a slight thought, Cui Yi summoned a weak psychic power.

Instead of using his telekinesis to attack, he tried to use his telekinesis to envelop himself and then lift himself up!

If mental power is not used properly, it can backfire and harm oneself.

Therefore, Cui Yi will not use telekinesis as an attack method at present, but that does not mean that he cannot turn telekinesis into an auxiliary means to act on himself!

With the support of his mental power, Cui Yi's body slowly lifted off the ground of the Floating Pagoda space.

It actually works!

Cui Yi was overjoyed. The Foundation Establishment realm cultivation level grants the ability to walk on air; if word got out, it would probably scare a lot of people to death.

Unfortunately, Cui Yi's mental power was too weak. He could only maintain his airborne movement for about ten breaths before he felt waves of fatigue coming from his sea of ​​consciousness. Startled, he quickly withdrew his mental power and gently landed back on the ground.

However, the difficulty of cultivating the Heavenly Rank technique left Cui Yi speechless.

A hundred years of lifespan was only enough for him to barely grasp the basics, but he benefited immensely from it!

Being able to absorb spiritual energy and cultivate on its own, what's the difference between that and AFK leveling up?

Not cultivating = cultivating.

Cultivation = Double Cultivation.

Moreover, he also possesses the cultivation speed granted by the Heavenly Rank cultivation technique, which is already significantly faster than that of others at the same level.

Oh no... He's experienced a hacked version of cultivation!
