Global Games: Reporting the Great Ascension Stage at the Start

Of these three options, Shen Hua naturally preferred the third one.

It's too early to concentrate resources now.

Who would be willing to give up leveling up and work like a slave, handing over every spirit stone they save up?

Moreover, ordinary people are not without the opportunity to cultivate the Golden Core; his previous life is the best example.

As for the duel, there shouldn't be any major problems with him handling it. With Shen Hua's vision and understanding of the Kree, he believed he could lead humanity to victory.

Therefore, he paid little attention to public opinion and devoted himself wholeheartedly to cultivation.

While cultivating, he also kept an eye on Zhang Ning's movements. After all, the Millennium Golden Vine depended on her.

After obtaining the Millennium Spirit Candle Grass, Zhang Ning immediately went into seclusion to begin refining elixirs.

Her father was Zhang Jiao, a great teacher and master alchemist. Growing up surrounded by such an environment, her alchemy skills were naturally quite good.

As long as she has all the necessary materials, she can refine the elixir that allows her to break through to a higher realm herself.

After she finishes refining the medicine, she will definitely continue to go into seclusion to break through the bottleneck, so no one can say for sure when she will emerge from seclusion.

Shen Hua cultivated while waiting quietly.

……

Soon, it was February 15th in real time, four days after Fukalan announced the punishment for the duel.

In the game world, in a cultivation room on the second level of the Spirit Gathering Array, Shen Hua was meditating with his eyes closed.

His yellow Taoist robe fluttered without wind, and the advanced Yellow Heaven Technique transformed into a layer of golden light that enveloped his entire body. The Qingning Pendant at his waist swirled with a milky white aura, and the surrounding spiritual energy gathered into a vortex, continuously being absorbed into his body.

His body also contained a white spiritual membrane formed by the Protective Elixir, which steadily protected his five internal organs.

With the continuous influx of massive amounts of spiritual energy, his cultivation level steadily improved.

There were quite a few Foundation Establishment cultivators cultivating on this floor. However, everyone was already used to Shen Hua's presence there.

Everyone is just curious about one thing—how can this person be so rich!

Just the entry token for the second level of the Spirit Gathering Array, plus the daily consumption of the Organ Protection Pill, costs seventy or eighty low-grade spirit stones a day!

Let alone that they didn't have such wealth when they were in the Qi Refining stage, even now they wouldn't dare to spend like this!

Who exactly is this Shen Hua, and why does he stay here permanently?

Ignoring the curious gazes of these people, Shen Hua opened his eyes and looked at his attribute panel.

Character: [Summer Night]

Race: Terran

Level: 1

Experience points: 239/240

Cultivation Technique: "Green Wood Technique (Modified)"

Equipment: [Yellow Heaven Jade Belt], [Qingning Pendant], [Entropy Increase]...

Spiritual Root: Mixed Spiritual Root

Passive: [Spiritual Arts Specialization]

He reached level 1 63 days ago in game time. Now, after another 63 days of hard work, he is only a little bit of experience points away from level 2.

Normally, he can complete three and a half cycles of spiritual energy per day, which means he gains 3.5 experience points. Today, he only completed two cycles, leaving one cycle remaining. He can take this opportunity to advance to level 2.

Shen Hua closed his eyes again and continued his cultivation.

An hour later, propelled by a large amount of spiritual energy, the last cycle of spiritual energy circulation within his body was completed, and his experience points jumped to full. He successfully broke through to level 2, which is the second level of Qi Refining!

I took another look at the attribute panel, and it had been updated:

Level: 2

Experience points: 0/275

After the upgrade, Shen Hua immediately examined his internal organs.

The wisp of spiritual energy within his dantian, which he jokingly called "duck down," grew even thicker.

During a breakthrough, a lot of black sweat seeps out from the body surface; that is the impurities expelled from the body.

I felt nothing else but that my senses had become more acute, and I was able to hear and see clearly.

「升级需要275点经验。」沈华心中暗暗计算，「按我现在的速度，每10天能攒37到38点经验，升到3级大概需要72天。」

This speed is ridiculously fast.

Even players with Heavenly Spiritual Roots normally need ten years to reach Foundation Establishment, but at his current speed, he can achieve it in about three years!

Moreover, he can later harmonize his own spiritual roots to create a perfect five spiritual roots, which will allow him to advance his cultivation speed to another level.

As he was pondering his future, the ground beneath him suddenly began to shake violently.

"What happened? Was it an earthquake?"

Shen Hua was startled and quickly looked around.

Many Foundation Establishment cultivators who were meditating on the same floor also stopped their cultivation and became alert.

The Foundation Establishment cultivators with keen senses all noticed that the source of the tremor seemed to be the center of the Spirit Gathering Array.

However, the tremor came and went quickly, returning to calm after about ten seconds. No one thought much of it and everyone resumed their cultivation.

About half an hour later, news came from the inner layer of the great formation: the sect master has finished his seclusion and has broken through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm! The tremor just now was an anomaly caused by the sect master's breakthrough.

Upon hearing this, the cultivators all congratulated those around them. Their sect leader's breakthrough to the mid-Nascent Soul stage was truly a joyous occasion!

Shen Hua smiled upon hearing this; it turned out that Zhang Ning had made a breakthrough.

He knew in his heart that now that the sect leader had successfully broken through to the next realm, the day of attacking Fangxian Dao was definitely not far off.

"But when will that be?" Shen Hua pondered to himself. "In my previous life, it took me a full month to fully stabilize my cultivation after breaking through to the mid-Nascent Soul stage. Although Zhang Ning's talent far surpasses mine in my previous life, considering organizing the team, it will probably still be a month before he succeeds."

……

Shen Hua thought Zhang Ning would lead her troops to attack Fangxiandao a month later, but he underestimated Zhang Ning's recovery speed and her impatience.

Just twenty days later, a message spread rapidly within the sect, causing an uproar throughout the entire sect. Everywhere, two words were being circulated: "Great Victory!"

Within the sect, shouts of "Great Victory!" could be heard everywhere.

The lower-level disciples had no idea what had happened. They only found out what was going on after asking the elders who were at the Golden Core stage or above.

Just three days ago, Zhang Ning personally led a team to launch a surprise attack on Fangxiandao's sect located in Luoyun Mountain.

For this expedition, Taiping Sect dispatched a total of seven Nascent Soul cultivators and more than forty Golden Core cultivators.

Fang Xiandao hastily accepted the challenge. However, because it was the location of a sect, there were actually more powerful individuals there. There were ten Nascent Soul cultivators and nearly sixty Golden Core cultivators, with even more top-tier combatants.

Everyone initially thought this surprise attack was extremely dangerous, as the enemy had more powerful figures than their own and was protected by a sect's powerful formation, giving them a significant advantage in terrain.

But after engaging in combat, they discovered that their opponent was utterly vulnerable!

The two sides fought a bloody battle in front of the Fangxiandao sect's great formation for three days. Fangxiandao suffered heavy losses, with three Nascent Soul experts dying on the spot, and countless casualties below the Golden Core stage.

On the other hand, the Taiping Sect only suffered one Nascent Soul expert who was seriously injured, and no one in the Nascent Soul stage died. However, there were quite a few casualties among the Golden Core stage, with seven dead and more than ten injured.

However, in terms of overall casualties, Taipingmen suffered far fewer casualties than Fangxiandao! Someone unfamiliar with the situation might think Taipingmen had a geographical advantage!

Finally, Taiping Sect forcefully broke through the enemy sect's grand formation, resulting in the deaths and escapes of Fangxian Dao's high-level experts and disciples.

When Huang Laodao learned that his ally had been attacked, he wanted to send a high-level expert to provide support. However, another force from the Taiping Sect was holding them back in the Maling Mountain area, leaving them unable to send even half a reinforcement.

In this battle, Taipingmen won a great victory!

They not only completely conquered the Fangxian Dao sect, but also captured a large number of low-level disciples.

The leaders of Fangxiandao were either killed in battle or scattered and fled. At least within the territory of Tanxian County, they probably couldn't cause any more trouble.
