How could Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect act so swiftly?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood-Pupil Demon’s thoughts churned before finally tossing Wu Sankui down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph, I’ll spare you for now... if I weren’t short-handed, I’d refine you into a Nether Ghost!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Wu Sankui was let down, the Netherworld Fire gradually extinguished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He

hush.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he held his forehead in contemplation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect, their methods are overly mysterious...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why can this Celestial Thunder Master, from thousands of miles away, detonate in three cities simultaneously?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could there be spies within the city?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood-Pupil Demon’s expression was indecisive, after pondering he said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You, assess the city’s losses... then, gather all cultivators and proceed to the frontline promptly!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, a bloodthirsty look flashed in Blood-Pupil Demon’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh, with Outer State forces involved, there’s no need for a gradual approach in this war.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Within half a year, I want the entire Fog Country under my Ghost-Exorcising Sect’s command!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, after Lin Chen acquired five million Spirit Stones from the Righteous Alliance, his Spirit Stones totaled fifteen million.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Entirely sufficient for advancing the Devouring Spirit Root to the Third Stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, once the reversal time reset, Lin Chen immediately headed to the cultivation room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Great Xia Country, Martial Arts Palace cultivation room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen sat cross-legged inside the Spirit Gathering Array, surrounded by piles of Spirit Stones like a small hill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearly half a million Middle Grade Spirit Stones, and another ten million Lower Grade Spirit Stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The time has come to break through to the third stage of the Devouring Spirit Root!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen was filled with anticipatory excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third stage of the Devouring Spirit Root promised cultivation speed comparable to a Celestial Spirit Root.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once reaching the third stage, Lin Chen’s cultivation would progress towards Golden Core Perfection even faster!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a slight thought, Lin Chen activated the Devouring Spirit Root.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the surrounding Spirit Stones turned to powder, pure energy surged into the Spirit Root.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a blink, three days passed...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, most Spirit Stones in the cultivation room had been devoured by Lin Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And within Lin Chen, the Spirit Root finally underwent a qualitative transformation at that moment!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen’s mind roared, soon after, he felt the Spiritual Energy in the world become more vigorous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He subtly explored the gaseous changes in Spiritual Energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The True Essence within him had, in that moment, consolidated multiple ranks more than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Much time later, Lin Chen slowly opened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Divine Soul internal observation, he sensed life radiating from the surface of the Devouring Spirit Root.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this what the third stage of the Devouring Spirit Root feels like?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems... my True Essence has become far more powerful!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen took a deep breath, feeling that his True Essence had condensed by nearly fifty percent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to his original estimation, only by reaching Nine Revolutions Golden Core would he have such a profound True Essence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, he possesses it ahead of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm, my True Essence Magical Power should fully be equivalent to a Half-Step Nascent Soul Cultivator who has passed the Magic Power Barrier!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s try the cultivation speed again...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen didn’t rush to leave seclusion, but continued cultivating for another day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Devouring Spirit Root can make True Essence more abundant than cultivators at the same stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But more importantly, it increases the cultivation speed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next morning, Lin Chen finished his cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He counted the remaining Spirit Stones in the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Breaking through the third stage of the Devouring Spirit Root cost Lin Chen about eleven million Spirit Stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, Lin Chen only has four hundred thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stones left, but it’s enough for a long time of cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Devouring Spirit Root, after advancing to the third stage, seems somewhat different from what I imagined...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen slightly frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He feels that his cultivation speed increased by about sixty to seventy percent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This degree of increase is indeed not insignificant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the problem is, it doesn’t seem to have reached the Top Grade Celestial Spirit Root, it barely reached the celestial level in cultivation speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Divine Soul Internal Observation, Lin Chen senses the Spirit Root within him that emits a faint vitality and mutters:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why do I feel like the Devouring Spirit Root, after reaching the third stage, is just beginning?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen recalls the jade scroll that Jiang Liqian gave him over a decade ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The jade scroll records the cultivation insights of a cultivator from ancient times who had a Devouring Spirit Root.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that senior only cultivated the Devouring Spirit Root to the third stage, with no further advancement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, there are some insights from his cultivation at the third stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten years have passed, the time has been quite long, but Lin Chen’s memory is indeed quite good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He murmurs:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I remember correctly, after the third stage of the Devouring Spirit Root, the method of improvement will change.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not only direct devouring of Spirit Stones, but Spirit Stones consumed during cultivation can also improve the Spirit Root quality.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Currently, the Devouring Spirit Root is barely celestial level, but after a long period of cultivation, it can reach Top Grade Celestial Spirit Root level. By then, the cultivation speed will be doubled!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen slightly nods, this method of improvement is greatly beneficial to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because while cultivating, he can simultaneously enhance the Spirit Root.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No longer needing to consume a large amount of Spirit Stones at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rather, it’s directly apportioned into each cultivation session.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, for the advancement of the fourth stage of the Devouring Spirit Root, the jade scroll doesn’t record anything...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen slightly frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third stage of the Devouring Spirit Root requires devouring a whole Spirit Vein.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen hasn’t devoured a Spirit Vein, but directly devoured over thirty million Spirit Stones, forcibly reaching that standard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Perhaps, the advancement to the fourth stage of the Devouring Spirit Root is related to the Spirit Vein?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen ponders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, let’s take it one step at a time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Currently, the third stage is sufficient for my use... Originally, it would take at least six or seven years to cultivate to Golden Core Perfection.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But now, four or five years should suffice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen silently thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four or five years, for a Golden Core Cultivator, is just a small part of the long years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even a single seclusion can take that long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Lin Chen, who cultivates the Evergreen Technique, has a lifespan much longer than the average Golden Core Cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Golden Core Cultivators have a lifespan of five hundred years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Lin Chen cultivates the Evergreen Technique to Golden Core Perfection, his lifespan can reach eight hundred years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since Golden Core Perfection is not far off... I should also consider the matter of Nascent Soul.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen continuously ponders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nascent Soul Cultivators remain mysterious to Lin Chen at this point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the Righteous Alliance’s sphere of influence, Golden Core Cultivators are numerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lin Chen has only encountered Blood Pupil, the old demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Blood Pupil alone is enough to almost suppress the entire Righteous Alliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This shows the great gap between Golden Core and Nascent Soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fortunately, the Golden Yuan Sect’s relics contain quite a bit of information on how to break through to Nascent Soul. Otherwise, I’d be truly clueless...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen silently thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Golden Core Perfection Cultivators, wanting to break through to Nascent Soul, must pass three barriers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Flesh Body, Magic Power, and Divine Soul barriers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Passing any one barrier makes one a Half-Step Nascent Soul, passing all three barriers elevates one to Nascent Soul Cultivator!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But passing all three barriers is the process of condensing the Nascent Soul, not the preparation required.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To advance to Nascent Soul, the basic requirement is, of course, a Nascent Soul level Cultivation Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coincidentally, several years ago, Lin Chen’s Evergreen Technique reached the Nascent Soul level through the inference of the Celestial Derivation Pearl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding the Cultivation Technique aspect, Lin Chen doesn’t need to worry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But breaking through to Nascent Soul is not just about having a Cultivation Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Golden Core, cultivators would not trigger Thunder Tribulation during breakthroughs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But breaking through from Golden Core to Nascent Soul will indeed trigger Thunder Tribulation!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Celestial Thunder Body Tempering enables the cultivator’s Divine Soul and Magical Power to further advance, providing great benefits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It also poses great risks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ordinary cultivators find it overly difficult to pass Thunder Tribulation relying on flesh and techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, special Magical Treasures or Pills are needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thunder Avoidance Divine Pill... Fourth Tier Pill, has miraculous effects in helping to pass Thunder Tribulation!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There’s also the Thunder Tribulation Spirit Shield, a special Magical Artifact... none of these are available within the Righteous Alliance’s range.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen shook his head and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Looks like I must explore other parts of Qing State.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Perhaps, in Wenda Sect... the core region of Qing State, I can find these items needed to break through to Nascent Soul?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1912,"2026-06-03T10:50:41.489Z",1,"novelbin.me","3c55ed206a0159997497847e0ee4f1e8de0eb88f8700ac453adde68e0997e300","i-can-travel-between-two-worlds-chapter-318","i-can-travel-between-two-worlds-chapter-316",422,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-can-travel-between-two-worlds-cover.jpg"]
