to the Breakthrough Hall?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tucked away the moonstone and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Jian nodded and said: “The Breakthrough Hall is the most suitable place to contemplate the Divine Illumination Wall.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Yang hesitated slightly, then warned: “By the way, if during your contemplation you sense your reserves are insufficient, never blindly pursue an Ultimate Divine Palace.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Otherwise, you’ll suffer spiritual essence backlash, chaotic spiritual breath—extremely dangerous.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Jian fell silent for a moment, understanding his intent, and gave a slight nod: “Thank you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By common logic,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Yang’s warning was entirely appropriate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>not every living being can achieve an Ultimate Divine Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even a Level 6 talent may not succeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though among this cohort, Jiang Jian’s performance stood out especially.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Wei Yang spoke out of genuine concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If a being’s foundational reserves are insufficient but they force themselves toward an Ultimate Divine Palace, their meridian spiritual essence will collapse instantly, bringing catastrophic backlash!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over the past few centuries,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>many Earth-Moon beings held excessively high ambitions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could have achieved a Prodigy Divine Palace but refused to settle for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They exhausted all their reserves chasing an Ultimate Divine Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, they failed to break through—their meridians burst and shattered, and they perished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was these very real examples that made Wei Yang anxious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He feared Jiang Jian might meet the same grim fate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ultimate Divine Palace is simply too rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoever achieves it, after a period of quiet cultivation, will soar beyond all others!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And another reason further proves the Ultimate Divine Palace’s preciousness:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the Ultimate Divine Palace\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>holds even a sliver of hope to glimpse the Spirit Platform Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though that hope is vanishingly small, nearly nonexistent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet beneath the Ultimate Divine Palace, there is absolutely no possibility of glimpsing the Spirit Platform!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most basic requirement of the Spirit Platform Realm is that a being’s cultivation foundations in every aspect must reach their absolute limit!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ultimate Divine Palace barely satisfies even that fundamental condition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m heading to the Breakthrough Hall now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Jian bowed slightly, walked past Wei Yang, and headed toward the Breakthrough Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Yang replied: “Alright.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He watched Jiang Jian’s back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For some reason, a sense of dread stirred in his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Given his nature, he’ll definitely pursue the Ultimate Divine Palace.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Yang stood still, staring at the Breakthrough Hall, his thoughts churning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At Qiushui Palace, Jiang Jian had displayed terrifyingly immense reserves during the challenge matches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Yang had long been certain:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Jian’s cultivation foundation absolutely qualified him to challenge the Ultimate Divine Palace!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the Divine Illumination Wall varies in difficulty depending on the being’s cultivation state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its level of challenge differs for each individual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If achieving the Ultimate Divine Palace were truly this simple,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>then the top-tier combatants of the Earth-Moon Four Realms—aside from Spirit Platform cultivators—wouldn’t be so scarce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Breakthrough Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Jian stepped into the great hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before his eyes appeared rows of array light screens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These screens floated within the hall, numbering roughly a hundred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of them glowed crimson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indicating the array was active, with students of the academy inside, contemplating the Divine Illumination Wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Around forty glowed green, available for selection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Jian observed for a moment, found a green screen, and lightly touched it with his finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chi .\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like popping a water bubble, the sound was crisp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The green screen dissolved silently at his fingertip, transforming into a flow of jade-green light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it enveloped Jiang Jian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tremendous pulling force surged through his limbs and bones, spreading across his entire body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Jian immediately realized: this was a small teleportation array!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Earth-Moon Four Realms,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>spatial teleportation technology was exceedingly rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from top-tier divine technology, only primordial forces of wonderlands or planetary power could achieve this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This Breakthrough Hall must be the work of Xu Suanzhen, a Spirit Platform cultivator.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he pondered,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the array’s light flow dissipated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Jian landed, looking around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here was an isolated island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Around it stretched an endless expanse of azure sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above the island floated a semi-transparent vortex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This vast vortex was entirely formed of spiritual energy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spiritual energy here was nearly solid in density!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The spiritual essence here surpasses even the Celestial Array of the Grand Astronomical Observatory in Da Zhou!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Jian walked to the island’s center, sensing carefully, slightly startled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since beginning cultivation, nearly three years had passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Jian had never been to a place with such abundant spiritual energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Star Ring Realm, the Grand Astronomical Observatory, Yinshan’s Tenth Hall—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>though all were excellent for cultivation,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>compared to this “Breakthrough Hall,” they still fell short.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Breakthrough Hall was once a fragment of the Primordial Star Ring, and the core structure of the Earth-Moon Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Across the seventy prefectures of the surface realm,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>countless Earth beings must break through here to form their Divine Palaces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For centuries, official resources had been heavily directed here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the Breakthrough Hall, as a site for contemplating the Divine Illumination Wall, had grown ever more refined, nearly flawless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>each use of the Breakthrough Hall consumed a portion of “Primordial Star Ring fragments.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to other resources, these were Earth’s true core treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Primordial Star Ring fragments,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>once used, were gone forever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could not be regenerated!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was precisely why the Earth-Moon Academy bestowed them as the most precious spiritual item upon graduating students.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above Jiang Jian’s head, the massive vortex of spiritual energy\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>was, in essence, a fragment of the Primordial Star Ring, no larger than a palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this object,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a being’s contemplation of the Divine Illumination Wall during breakthrough becomes vastly more efficient!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The immense spiritual energy required to activate meridian essence and comprehend the Divine Illumination Wall is entirely supplied by this fragment!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If a being achieves Divine Illumination Manifestation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This fragment of the initial star ring can further enhance the Divine Palace’s foundation and strengthen the earth-moon qi fortune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Yongquan acupoint has not yet reached its limit.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Jian sat cross-legged on the ground but did not attempt to break through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he calmed his mind and carefully sensed the spiritual essence within his Yongquan acupoint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his cultivation plan,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the Shenque acupoint had long since reached its maximum, possessing a perfect foundation of 121% of the Divine Gift realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Yongquan acupoint had only been cultivated to the standard acupoint limit—not his own extreme.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are three common ways to raise the upper limit of spiritual essence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first is to consume corresponding spiritual substances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second is to refine and fuse a spiritual essence artifact to alter the essence’s nature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third is to forge and polish the acupoint using one’s overall foundation and powerful will, thinning the acupoint walls to raise the upper limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ordinary beings mostly choose the first method, gaining only slight improvement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third method suits prodigies with deep spiritual essence cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many prodigies, before breaking through, spare no time, spending long periods\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>solely to forge their acupoints and slowly raise the spiritual essence upper limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the vast majority can only slightly thin the acupoint walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The increase is negligible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second method—refining a spiritual essence artifact—is even rarer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such artifacts are produced in extremely limited quantities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They are almost exclusively found in the Strange Realms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Four Realms of Earth and Moon,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>only two types of people possess spiritual essence artifacts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One, those with deep backgrounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other, those with astonishing destiny and boundless fortune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once one obtains a spiritual essence artifact,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>they can refine it into their acupoint and alter the essence’s nature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The acupoint’s upper limit will then surge dramatically!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My Yongquan acupoint has never truly been forged.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he pondered,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Jian furrowed his brow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back in the Tenth Hall of Yinshan, when he refined the Wang Dian crown and the Lunzhuan King’s robe,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the Yongquan acupoint had indeed been polished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>his cultivation foundation was no longer what it once was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Yongquan acupoint had not even reached its limit!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Jian gently closed his eyes and activated all his spiritual essence to begin forging the acupoint walls!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second method—refining a spiritual essence artifact—he had already perfected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Wang Dian crown and the Lunzhuan King’s robe\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>had transformed into the “Royal Way” nature and been fully integrated into the Yongquan acupoint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>what Jiang Jian intended to do\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>was to forge the Yongquan acupoint to its absolute extreme!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1432,"2026-06-20T01:21:35.424Z",1,"Qwen3-Next
