Chapter 68: Advancement

The twelfth year since contracting the Dongxuan Fudi!

In the Qingxuan Grotto-Heaven, under Ye Qingxuan's sensing, the entire Grotto-Heaven began to vibrate violently.

The spatial nodes where the Grotto-Heaven was located began to be constantly stretched by the Grotto-Heaven, and more and more chaotic energy poured in, which was continuously absorbed by the Grotto-Heaven.

After receiving sufficient energy supply, the Qingxuan Grotto-Heaven began to expand rapidly.

While expanding, the spatial nodes connected to chaos also continued to expand, and the energy absorbed by the Qingxuan Grotto-Heaven became more and more.

It seemed to be affected by the chain reaction of the Grotto-Heaven. After the origin of Qingxuan Dongxuan Fudi merged with the Grotto-Heaven, the Dongxuan Fudi also began to vibrate slightly, and began to increase its intake of void energy.

Seeing this scene, Ye Qingxuan was also in the Grotto-Heaven Dongxuan Fudi, and began to fully activate the Fourth-Order Energy Conversion Array in the Grotto-Heaven Dongxuan Fudi to help the Grotto-Heaven Dongxuan Fudi improve the conversion of chaotic energy and void energy.

With Ye Qingxuan's activation and presiding, the Fourth-Order Energy Conversion Array was operated to the extreme, continuously converting various energies for the Grotto-Heaven Dongxuan Fudi.

In this way, maintaining for a whole year, the Qingxuan Grotto-Heaven Dongxuan Fudi finally broke through the shackles together, and successfully advanced from a First-Order Peak Grotto-Heaven Dongxuan Fudi to the early stage of the Second Order.

At the moment when the Grotto-Heaven Dongxuan Fudi advanced, two huge and gentle origins appeared in Ye Qingxuan's body, and began to actively merge and assimilate with Ye Qingxuan's spiritual power.

Ye Qingxuan, who had already been prepared, did not panic, and began to sit cross-legged, operating his own Earth Immortal Art to improve his cultivation.

The origin of the Grotto-Heaven Dongxuan Fudi entering the body not only helped Ye Qingxuan improve his cultivation, but also constantly helped Ye Qingxuan perfect the small universe of the human body.

The elemental light spots contained in the origin spread constantly, began to merge into the depths of Ye Qingxuan's flesh, and helped him subtly improve his elemental compatibility.

It was just that the origin level of the Second-Order Grotto-Heaven Dongxuan Fudi was too low, and the effect was not obvious for the time being.

But the second-series spirit root that Ye Qingxuan was condensing, after the origin of the Grotto-Heaven Dongxuan Fudi entered the body, after being nourished by the origin of the Grotto-Heaven Dongxuan Fudi, produced a subtle traction force, constantly absorbing the elemental light spots emitted by the origin to perfect itself.

Half an hour later, Ye Qingxuan opened his eyes and noticed his own cultivation, and said with some surprise:

"Only promoted to the late stage of Purple Mansion?"

When the Grotto-Heaven Dongxuan Fudi was opened, the feedback origin allowed his cultivation to directly cross from the Qi Refining perfection, across the Foundation Establishment Realm, and directly promoted to the Purple Mansion Realm.

Originally, Ye Qingxuan thought that with the help of the advancement of the Grotto-Heaven Dongxuan Fudi, he could at least improve to the peak of the Purple Mansion Realm.

Unexpectedly, it could only barely reach the late stage of Purple Mansion.

Sure enough, the further the realm, the more amazing the energy required. The origin feedback from the low-order Grotto-Heaven Dongxuan Fudi was still too little.

However, Ye Qingxuan was not disappointed. Having improvement was better than nothing.

For the rest of the road, he would just walk it himself.

Standing up, Ye Qingxuan sensed the Grotto-Heaven Dongxuan Fudi and found that the area of the Grotto-Heaven Dongxuan Fudi had expanded a lot.

Now the area of the Grotto-Heaven Dongxuan Fudi added together was a full two hundred miles in radius.

Moreover, during the advancement process, the Grotto-Heaven Dongxuan Fudi each derived a Second-Order spirit vein and ten First-Order spirit veins.

Although these spirit veins were still very weak now, they were continuously assisting the Grotto-Heaven Dongxuan Fudi to absorb external energy and constantly growing.

The companion spirit pearl that had been floating above Qingxuan Dongxuan Fudi had now also transformed and advanced to the Second Order.

And it seemed to have undergone unknown changes. The companion spirit pearl, which originally only contained gentle spiritual energy, now had its spiritual energy constantly transforming and transforming into the origin after the Grotto-Heaven Dongxuan Fudi merged.

The light emitted by the transformed companion spirit pearl contained all the elemental particles that had been analyzed and merged in the Grotto-Heaven Dongxuan Fudi, shining on the earth, containing infinite vitality, and seemed to be subtly perfecting the defects of various spirit plants.

Even the origin light group above the Grotto-Heaven had condensed an identical companion spirit pearl at its center.

With the appearance of these two transformed companion spirit pearls, the entire Grotto-Heaven Dongxuan Fudi seemed to have become more complete, giving Ye Qingxuan a subtle sense of perfection.

And the spirit land of the Grotto-Heaven Dongxuan Fudi.

Because the speed of the Grotto-Heaven Dongxuan Fudi absorbing and converting chaotic energy and void energy had greatly increased, the richness of the origin contained and converted in the spirit land had greatly increased.

Now the growth limit of spirit plants had been raised to the Fourth Order.

Not only that, the richness of the origin in the earth had increased, and the conversion speed had become faster and faster, and the growth speed of spirit plants in the Grotto-Heaven Dongxuan Fudi had increased significantly again.

Now, in the Second-Order Grotto-Heaven Dongxuan Fudi:

First-Order spirit plants only needed about five months to grow; Second-Order spirit plants needed about eighteen months to grow; Third-Order spirit plants needed about five years to grow; Fourth-Order spirit plants needed about twelve years to grow.

In this way, Ye Qingxuan could not only plant more spirit plants, but the harvest cycle had also been shortened.

In addition to the changes in the Grotto-Heaven Dongxuan Fudi, the growth speed of Ye Qingxuan's own spirit roots had also greatly increased.

Coupled with the fact that his second-series spirit root had been perfected a lot during the advancement of the Grotto-Heaven Dongxuan Fudi, it would only take about six years to fully condense.

After taking stock of the gains from this advancement, Ye Qingxuan was not in a hurry to cultivate the Second-Order Earth Immortal Body.

With one step, Ye Qingxuan's figure had disappeared into the Grotto-Heaven Dongxuan Fudi.

In the stone pavilion at the entrance of Qingxuan Dongxuan Fudi, Ye Qingxuan's figure appeared again, leisurely making tea, and began to enjoy the scenery outside the mountain peak.

This time, he did not immerse himself in the gorgeous elemental patterns between heaven and earth, but simply relaxed his body and mind.

After the Dongxuan Fudi advanced, Ye Qingxuan did not report it to the Profound Yi Tianzong.

The expansion of the Grotto-Heaven Dongxuan Fudi was one towards the chaotic space in the spatial nodes, and one towards the depths of the void of the Di Xuan Realm. As long as it was not forcibly probed, no changes would be noticed outside.

Reporting to the Profound Yi Tianzong would only increase his salary, and there would be no substantial benefits. Instead, it would appear very strange and carry the risk of exposing his own secrets.

After all, the advancement speed of his Dongxuan Fudi was too fast.

For others, even if the starting point was a First-Order Peak Dongxuan Fudi, let alone ten years, even hundreds or thousands of years might not necessarily allow the Dongxuan Fudi to advance.

The reason why Ye Qingxuan's Grotto-Heaven Dongxuan Fudi advanced so quickly.

In addition to various inheritance formations that assisted the growth of the Grotto-Heaven Dongxuan Fudi and the investment of a large amount of resources, the most important thing was that the Grotto-Heaven Dongxuan Fudi complemented each other, could complement each other, and perfect the elemental rules between each other.

This was the most critical reason why Qingxuan Grotto-Heaven Dongxuan Fudi could advance quickly.

A First-Order Peak Dongxuan Fudi, in addition to needing enough energy, also needed to perfect its own elemental rules to advance to the Second Order.

Most Dongxuan Fudi cultivators were only half-baked, only knowing how to follow the experience within the Profound Yi Tianzong, blindly planting spirit plants, and not knowing which part of the elemental rules the Dongxuan Fudi was lacking.

The spirit plants planted were different, the types of spirit ores smelted were different, and the elemental focus analyzed by the Grotto-Heaven Dongxuan Fudi was different.

Even the Dongxuan Fudi cultivators of the entire Di Xuan Realm did not know that they could rely on formations to smelt spirit ore origins for the Dongxuan Fudi to merge and analyze.

In this way, relying solely on the natural growth of the Dongxuan Fudi and the subtle assistance of spirit plants, without the mutual complement of the Grotto-Heaven, wanting the Dongxuan Fudi to advance would be a long time coming.

For the next three days, Ye Qingxuan returned to his previous cultivation rhythm.

Three days later, Ye Qingxuan went through the inhumane cultivation method again and promoted his own Earth Immortal Body to the Second Order.

Taking this opportunity, Ye Qingxuan merged with the Second-Order Grotto-Heaven Dongxuan Fudi again, and comprehended and perfected his own Earth Immortal Law.

The Second-Order Earth Immortal Body could already ignore attacks from the Foundation Establishment Realm and weaken half of the attack power within the Purple Mansion Realm, greatly improving the auxiliary effect for Ye Qingxuan.

Moreover, after cultivating the Second-Order Earth Immortal Body, Ye Qingxuan's physical inner universe underwent a small transformation again and was further perfected.

The further perfection of the physical inner universe, coupled with the speed of his spirit root condensation, increased again. Now it would only take about three years for Ye Qingxuan to condense the second-series spirit root.

Ye Qingxuan even suspected that as long as he continued to cultivate the Earth Immortal Body and constantly perfected the physical inner universe, his spirit roots would naturally be born one by one.
