Chapter 254: Chapter 163: Earth Immortal, Breakthrough!

The only reason to continue choosing to attempt a breakthrough was this disciple’s guarantee.

And now, witnessing firsthand how this disciple broke through, the excitement was almost beyond words!

A tremendous confidence surged forth.

This time, success is certain!

Thus, when Cultivator Shen Yu opened the small world, Qingfeng True Master entered without the slightest hesitation.

The other True Masters all followed after him.

Just like when Mingyun True Master and the others first arrived, even though they were already prepared, when they truly experienced this place devoid of any Taoist Rhyme, the people of the Star River Immortal Sect were still full of amazement.

In fact, this small world at this moment had already undergone quite a few changes compared to a few days ago.

First, the ground had already been leveled, the endless yellow sand was gone, and one after another, unique metal buildings rose up into the air.

These were not built to house more people, so they were not cramped, but constructed in the style of grand halls.

The most eye-catching and seemingly the most orderly was precisely the Mingyun Immortal Sect’s residence.

In just five days, they had already built the preliminary Spirit Gathering Array used for breakthroughs.

“Fellow Qingfeng,” the Mingyun Sect Master smiled, “The Star River Immortal Sect’s base hasn’t been built yet, so Fellow Daoist may use our residence to break through.”

“Many thanks, Mingyun Sect Master.” Qingfeng True Master bowed slightly in thanks.

Although he knew the other party was showing off their residence, he did indeed need to borrow it.

This, however, made the Taihe Earth Immortal at the side feel a bit displeased.

He and the others from the Star River Immortal Sect were all looking around, already considering where to build their own sect’s residence.

But the most important matter at this moment was still Qingfeng True Master’s breakthrough.

This was the true core that could convince everyone.

No matter what the odds of breakthrough were, only at the moment of truly completing it could everything be proven.

Cultivator Shen Yu understood this as well.

Yet, he still behaved with an air of nonchalance.

Under the Gray Mist, even if Qingfeng True Master wanted to kill himself, there’s no way he’d fail the breakthrough!

Speaking of which, when he himself broke through to the True Master Realm just now, the amount of Gray Mist consumed was far less than expected.

Eight hundred million!

That’s right, only eight hundred million.

And how much Gray Mist did Wizard Shen Yu spend on his own breakthrough back then?

Even not counting the creation of Magic and only the final merging, it cost over seven billion!

Comparing the two—even for the same Realm—the difference was almost tenfold!

“After all, the Magic System of the Magic World is far less perfected than this world’s Cultivation system.” Cultivator Shen Yu was amazed by this number, but not surprised.

This only shows even more the potential of Cultivation!

In fact, not to mention himself.

Even now, for my master to break through to the Earth Immortal Realm, it would take only about eighteen billion Gray Mist.

And that would even be a direct breakthrough.

If just at the key moment he gave a push, or—as the Taoist Rhyme rules of this world are perfected—this number would inevitably decrease greatly!

“If you want to talk about the Extraordinary Path, we Cultivators are still the best.” Cultivator Shen Yu’s heart also filled with some anticipation.

Though he was ultimately the last to join the Association, he was fully confident that he could become the most impactful and important Shen Yu!

Frankly, even though the Association only has five Shen Yus so far, that’s already enough for some Shen Yus to quietly compare and even compete with each other.

The main Shen Yu understood this as well.

But that’s not a bad thing.

Positive competition brings out active results.

At this moment, Qingfeng True Master was inside the Spirit Gathering Array, officially starting his breakthrough!

Cultivator Shen Yu finally got to properly observe the formal breakthrough process.

First, was a Golden Core serving as the catalyst.

This Elixir was absolutely vital, used to break through the original Dao Fruit barrier, touch upon a wisp of Earth Immortal Realm rules—like sparking the first spark that lights a blazing fire.

Then came various resources to strengthen and transform the cultivator.

From the Divine Soul, to the body, down to all sorts of Elixirs and resources matching the Star River Technique—Cultivator Shen Yu’s head spun at the sight.

Yet, as complex as it was, it was not chaotic.

What to do at each step was clear and orderly!

This was the power of inheritance.

Just these procedures alone—who knows how many cultivator forebears had tried and continued to adjust and optimize them.

You could say, behind every resource and every Elixir lay the long years of inherited development!

Cultivator Shen Yu could even clearly see that, after each successful step, the amount of Gray Mist needed for Qingfeng True Master’s breakthrough dropped noticeably.

But just then, Qingfeng True Master’s aura suddenly wavered, and pain twisted his face.

“Not good! Not enough Taoist Rhyme—the Divine Soul is too depleted!” Taihe Earth Immortal’s expression changed. “The Earth Immortal Soul Pill is not enough!”

Under normal circumstances, this would basically mean failure was certain.

But Cultivator Shen Yu merely pointed a finger.

“No problem, a trifle.”

This time, five hundred million Gray Mist was consumed.

But it instantly stabilized Qingfeng True Master’s aura.

The other True Masters were again awed, but now even more inwardly fired up.

This organization is truly unfathomable—beyond imagination!

With such means, how could a breakthrough possibly fail?

If one could not only break through to the Earth Immortal Realm, but even further—how could this still be called a great tribulation? It would be more like all cultivators’ great good fortune!

Later, Qingfeng True Master encountered several more key obstacles—each sufficient to overturn his breakthrough.

But at each step, Cultivator Shen Yu wiped the danger away with a flick of his finger.

With things like this, even though the outcome was not yet certain, everyone looked completely at ease.

They had never witnessed such an easy breakthrough before.

Seeing everyone looking like this, Cultivator Shen Yu felt a little helpless, but had to speak up: “Such help is not without cost.”

At those words, all eyes turned to him.

“In the end, I am to take part in the Trial,” said Cultivator Shen Yu. “If the Trial goes well, the Association itself will issue rewards. Not to mention breaking through to Earth Immortal—even reaching True Immortal, or stronger Realms, will be easy! But if the Trial fails, and the great calamity destroys the Human Dao of this world, I fear I will have no choice but to reincarnate again and face my tribulation in another world.”

“So that’s how it is.” Taihe Earth Immortal and the Mingyun Sect Master exchanged looks; instead of worry, their faces shone with delight.

This meant that Cultivator Shen Yu’s interests aligned with theirs.

Such help—didn’t that mean they might get a chance to benefit too?

They only had to bring more benefit to Cultivator Shen Yu!

“Rest assured, Fellow Daoist,” Taihe Earth Immortal said seriously. “With us here, and you with us, demon cultivators will never be allowed to run rampant.”

“My purpose here is solely for the demon cultivators.” The female cultivator of the Star River Immortal Sect spoke at this moment—her words rang with the echo of Sword Intent; just by speaking, a keen sharpness was felt by all.

This immediately drew Cultivator Shen Yu’s gaze to her.

Star River Sword Immortal?

Earlier, when Qingfeng True Master spoke about the Star River Immortal Sect, he said the Star River Technique was the core, but by no means the only one.

There was also a Sword Cultivation Method based on the Star River Sword Sea—no less renowned.

If the Star River Technique was for achieving Realm and Longevity, then the Star River Sword Sea was for slaughter!

The former subdues by power; the latter breaks through with the sword.

“Excellent!” Even Cultivator Shen Yu couldn’t help but praise aloud.

He opened the small world, spent Gray Mist to assist breakthroughs—but for what, really?

Wasn’t it all for the battle strength of this world?

After all, if he wanted more Gray Mist, demon cultivators were the best resource!

In fact, the other Shen Yus would surely also need high-end combat power.

“Qingfeng True Master’s Dao is about to be accomplished!” one of the True Masters suddenly shouted.

Everyone turned their gaze to Qingfeng True Master.

At this moment, Qingfeng True Master’s aura had completely solidified; vast pressure spread endlessly—far surpassing a True Master’s—a force belonging exclusively to the Earth Immortal Realm now filled the whole small world.

Earth Immortal is also Immortal!

Step into it, and you will be free in the human world.
