Chapter 253: Sixty Years

All major avatars are developing steadily, with no major changes expected in the short term.

Ye Qingxuan's main body has also begun to live in seclusion within the Xuantian Sect, entering a state of long-term deep cultivation.

The location he chose for the Qingxuan Blessed Land was already far from the heavily trafficked areas of the Xuantian Sect.

For many years, apart from visits by a few of Ye Qingxuan's close friends,

no other Xuantian Sect disciples would go to the mountain peak where the Qingxuan Blessed Land is located to disturb his quiet cultivation.

Time passed, sun rose and moon set.

Between spring's departure and autumn's arrival, sixty years slipped by in a flash.

During these sixty years,

Ye Qingxuan acted against his usual nature, rarely leaving the Qingxuan Blessed Land to go to the stone pavilion outside for tea and scenery.

Every day, he was devoted to cultivation, with no distractions.

Day after day, he was either sitting in meditation to cultivate or contemplating the elemental mysteries within the Qingxuan Blessed Land.

However, his comprehension was heaven-defying.

Yet, limited by his own cultivation base, the height of the elemental mysteries Ye Qingxuan could comprehend was restricted.

Although during these sixty years, Ye Qingxuan inadvertently comprehended the four major elemental mysteries of wind, rain, thunder, and lightning.

Comprehending even more elemental mysteries would be useless.

At this stage, greedily seeking quantity was not a good thing.

Comprehending multiple elemental mysteries might expand his combat breadth, allowing him to adapt to battles in more diverse environments.

There was no great difficulty, and Ye Qingxuan comprehended and mastered them unconsciously.

Ye Qingxuan understood this principle as well.

For a full sixty years, the vast majority of Ye Qingxuan's time was spent within the Qingxuan Blessed Land.

However, the realm of these elemental mysteries remained stuck at the One-Percent Realm.

Contemplating the mysteries of heaven and earth within the Qingxuan Blessed Land and comprehending elemental mysteries allows for a heavenly resonance with the Blessed Land, creating a perfect harmony between the two.

Therefore, during his deep cultivation, Ye Qingxuan did not specifically try to comprehend other mystery rules.

Some common elemental mysteries were accumulated through daily realization.

But this had limited effect on raising the height of his combat power.

The difficulty of comprehension would be greatly reduced.

But as the master of the Qingxuan Blessed Land,

if his cultivation base does not rise, and the realm of elemental mysteries does not rise,

comprehending the Dao within the Qingxuan Blessed Land, often experiencing heavenly resonance with the Blessed Land, makes it easy to fall into unconscious epiphanies.

Compared to the heaven and earth outside, the Qingxuan Blessed Land still has many deficiencies.

If not for the restriction of his realm, the realm of the elemental mysteries he previously comprehended might have already risen to the Two-Percent Realm or even the Three-Percent Realm.

Compared to Ye Qingxuan's superior comprehension and the rapid progress of the various elemental mysteries,

after sixty years of cultivation, Ye Qingxuan's cultivation base had not made any obvious progress.

His spiritual root talent greatly delayed Ye Qingxuan's pace of advancement.

Sensing the progress of his cultivation base within his body, Ye Qingxuan slowly concluded his practice.

After the various Daoic auras surrounding him slowly returned to his body, Ye Qingxuan opened his eyes, revealing a look of regret.

If he could possess Liu Tai'an's cultivation talent,

given him only a thousand years, he could soar into the sky, break the constraints of the outside world, and vigorously develop his commercial power in the four outer regions beyond the Di Xuan Realm.

Within three thousand years, he could stand at the peak of this realm without needing to lie low.

Unfortunately, his spiritual root talent was far too mediocre.

Although he unexpectedly contracted the Eternal Turtle to become his primordial avatar, gaining the Eternal Turtle's characteristic of endless lifespan,

his initial single-element spiritual root talent made his cultivation speed far too slow.

If he had not obtained the Earth Immortal inheritance and contracted the Blessed Land, which could slowly improve his spiritual root talent,

he did not know how many more years he would have to lie low before breaking out of his cocoon and reaching the peak of this realm.

Sensing the fifth elemental spiritual root slowly condensing within his body, a flicker of relief passed through Ye Qingxuan's eyes.

Now that the war between the two realms is underway, the future of the Di Xuan Realm is unknown.

Ye Qingxuan also does not know how much time he has left to cultivate in peace and seclusion.

What he can do now is, before the overall situation changes, strive to accumulate strength and improve his cultivation base.

Hoping that, before the overall situation changes, he will possess the power to protect himself.

The war in the lower realms is growing increasingly fierce, and the status of the nine minor worlds attached to the Di Xuan Realm is teetering on the brink of collapse.

Through his two major avatars in the Xuanmu Realm, Ye Qingxuan investigated the changes in the Xuanmu Realm over the past hundred years.

He understood that the Xuanmu Realm could not hold out much longer.

If this continues, the collapse of the Xuanmu Realm's minor world status will become an established fact.

If the status of all nine minor worlds collapses together, the nine worlds will fall into the Di Xuan Realm one after another.

Ye Qingxuan does not know what impact this will have on the war between the two realms.

It is only the unease deep within his heart that constantly urges Ye Qingxuan not to slacken.

This is also the reason why Ye Qingxuan began to live in seclusion and made every effort to improve his own cultivation base.

Having comprehended the various elemental mysteries in advance, the bottleneck and shackles preventing the transition from the Soul Transformation Realm to the Void Penetration Realm are easily broken by Ye Qingxuan.

What he lacks now is the accumulation of magic power from the early stage of the Soul Transformation Realm to its peak.

However, with his current talent,

Relying solely on his own cultivation, even with ample sixth-tier elixirs to assist, he could not reach the peak of the Soul Transformation realm in the short term, nor seize the opportunity to break through to the Void Penetration realm.

At this thought, Ye Qingxuan instinctively turned his gaze toward the Qingxuan Cave Heaven and Blessed Land.

Sixty years passed.

Ye Qingxuan sold another five thousand Spirit Purification Trees again, exchanging them for one fifth-tier Spirit Vein Source and fifteen fourth-tier Spirit Vein Sources.

Now, within the entire Qingxuan Cave Heaven and Blessed Land,

there were already three fifth-tier Spirit Veins, sixty fourth-tier Spirit Veins, and numerous Spirit Veins below the fourth tier.

Moreover,

over these sixty years, Ye Qingxuan's avatars Nanxuan and Xixuan returned to the Qingxuan Cave Heaven and Blessed Land twice together.

Each time, they brought a vast number of Qing Demon Clan corpses to the Qingxuan Cave Heaven and Blessed Land.

Now, the Qingxuan Cave Heaven and Blessed Land was not far from advancing to the peak of the fourth tier.

According to Ye Qingxuan's estimate,

with the assistance of the existing Spirit Veins in the Qingxuan Cave Heaven and Blessed Land, combined with the speed at which the avatars Nanxuan and Xixuan hunted the Qing Demon Clan,

it would take roughly another thirty years for the Qingxuan Cave Heaven and Blessed Land to advance to the peak of the fourth tier.

Sixty years had passed, and the Dongxuan City in the distant Dongji Region had been continuously supplying various spirit ores to the Qingxuan Cave Heaven and Blessed Land.

Now, the elemental mysteries born within the Qingxuan Cave Heaven and Blessed Land were already sufficient for it to advance to the early stage of the fifth tier.

In other words, once the Qingxuan Cave Heaven and Blessed Land advanced to the peak of the fourth tier,

it could ascend to the fifth-tier level at the fastest possible speed.

At that time, upon receiving the feedback of the primordial essence from the Qingxuan Cave Heaven and Blessed Land, Ye Qingxuan's cultivation base would surely see a significant boost.

After the main body's cultivation base improved,

the strength of Ye Qingxuan's external avatar and ordinary avatars would also see a considerable increase.

By then,

with the strength of the ordinary avatars further enhanced, they would hunt down even more Qing Demon Clan members.

With the strength of the external avatar improved, his commercial power in the Dongji Region could safely expand outward.

Once the commercial power expanded outward, the amount of spirit ores acquired would increase.

In this way, the growth speed of the Qingxuan Cave Heaven and Blessed Land would further accelerate, entering a virtuous cycle.

This was the only way for Ye Qingxuan to rapidly enhance his cultivation and strength.
