Chapter 277

However, before dealing with all this, there was one more important thing—advancing to the Jin Dan Realm.

His wizard level had long been stabilized at Tier 2, but his cultivator cultivation base had been stuck at the Foundation Establishment Stage Great Perfection for a long time.

Once, Jie Ming thought this bottleneck stemmed from the psychological trauma brought about by the fall of his friends Amy and Victor on the plane battlefield.

But thinking carefully, his emotions at the time were not that extreme; there was no sadness so painful, no anger so intense, just a layer of mist in his heart, a very plain mist.

The mist was not big, but enough to cover the sun.

Now Jie Ming understood that the name of that mist was: loneliness; as a traveler, there was always a vague barrier between his soul and this world.

The appearance of Amy and Victor was like opening two windows on this barrier, allowing him to glimpse and feel a trace of the warmth of this world.

And their sudden departure caused those two windows to close with a bang, leaving behind that cold, misty fog named loneliness.

Until... he faced Jack's face twisted by jealousy; that ugliness, that undisguised, scorching emotion stemming from his own incompetence and hatred for others' talent, instead acted like a strong light, piercing through the mist in Jie Ming's heart.

He suddenly realized that, rational or not, indifferent or not, the wizards of this world, and even all living beings, were living "people" with seven emotions and six desires beneath their masks.

They would cry, laugh, be jealous, angry, act because of desire, and retreat because of fear.

This cognition, this strong touch of the "sense of reality" of the world, instead allowed his wandering heart, which belonged to a stranger, to truly begin to sink into the soil of this world.

At that moment, what he felt was not disgust, but a kind of indescribable relief, close to "going home."

With the knot in his heart gone, the bottleneck vanished on its own.

At that time, he clearly felt that the barrier from Foundation Establishment to Jin Dan had become as thin as a cicada's wing.

The reason for forcibly suppressing it during the plane war and not choosing to break through was naturally out of deep fear of Dionysius Spencer, this Fate-system Tier 7 Wizard.

Conducting a cultivation breakthrough involving soul essence and energy level leap under the nose of a powerhouse who could peek into the trajectory of fate?

Jie Ming felt he didn't have that much courage.

Now, returning to the Purgatory Sulfur plane, which was completely under his control, there were no more scruples.

To ensure nothing went wrong, he did not rush for success.

First, he spent more than ten years sinking into the depths of his consciousness to connect to the "Great Dao Book Pavilion," flipping through, comparing, and studying tens of thousands of elixir formulas and jade slips regarding advancing to the Jin Dan Realm.

Combining the pharmacology principles and alchemy technology of the wizard world, he removed the dross and kept the essence, repeatedly deducing, and finally successfully refined a tube of promotion magic potion that perfectly matched his own situation.

After doing all this, Jie Ming's originally restless state of mind calmed down a lot.

Looking at this magic potion emitting brilliant golden light in his hand, Jie Ming suddenly had a realization: "It seems the time for promotion has arrived!"

He activated the plane defense system built in the infrastructure he had previously transformed for the plane, completely closing all passages between the Purgatory Sulfur plane and the outside world, turning this place into an absolutely independent place for closed-door cultivation.

Everything was ready.

Jie Ming sat cross-legged slowly in the quiet room, five hearts facing the sky.

The room was filled with a faint medicinal fragrance, and the restless energy of the sulfur plane outside was isolated by layers of magic arrays, leaving only absolute tranquility.

He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, his eyes becoming incomparably clear and firm.

"Let's begin."

His mind sank into his dantian, pulling the Foundation Establishment true essence that had already been filled to the extreme, and began to launch an impact on that invisible Jin Dan barrier.

Jie Ming's mind was concentrated, his consciousness completely introverted, focusing on the lower dantian.

There, the liquid Foundation Establishment true essence, which had originally rotated slowly like a cyclone, had now been compressed to the extreme.

A brilliant golden light was gestating at the center, emitting vast vitality and indescribable mysterious Dao rhyme.

His accumulation over so many years was truly too thick; first, there were more than two hundred years of hard cultivation, with various high-level resources never interrupted.

Later, he spent more than eighty years crossing two planes of warfare, countless walks on the edge of life and death, and profound insights into his own Dao path, which had long since polished his foundation to be incomparably solid.

At this moment, impacting the Jin Dan Realm was a matter of course, almost without feeling any obstruction.

That invisible barrier that once blocked his progress, after the knot in his heart was untied, was as thin as morning dew.

Under the impact of the pure and vast true essence, it shattered and dissipated silently.

Hum—

A light hum that only the soul could perceive sounded from the depths of the dantian.

In an instant, the golden light at the center of the dantian erupted suddenly!

Like the first ray of light at the beginning of the universe, it instantly illuminated the mountains and rivers of the meridians in his body.

All the liquid true essence was like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, frantically gathering, compressing, and condensing toward that point of golden light!

There were no earth-shattering visions, only a earth-shaking transformation of energy at the level of the body.

The three treasures of essence, energy, and spirit, at the moment the Jin Dan condensed, seemed to find a common hub, and began to spontaneously blend and resonate, producing an indescribable qualitative change.

He didn't know how long it had been, perhaps an instant, or perhaps eternity.

When Jie Ming's consciousness clearly "saw" the dantian again, a pill the size of a dragon's eye, flawless and round, with warm yet infinitely powerful golden light flowing through its body, was quietly suspended in the center of the dantian, rotating slowly.

Every rotation naturally inhaled and exhaled the surrounding spiritual power, resonating mysteriously with heaven and earth.

Jin Dan, achieved!

He didn't even use the promotion magic potion he had carefully prepared; relying only on his own accumulation, he had successfully crossed this chasm that countless cultivators dreamed of.

However, the Jin Dan had just stabilized, and before Jie Ming could carefully experience its mysteries, an extremely exaggerated, almost barbaric suction force suddenly came from the lower dantian where the Jin Dan was located!

This suction force was not aimed at the outside world, but was frantically extracting the spiritual power in his body that had just completed transformation and was not yet full, as well as the essence contained in his flesh and blood.

Jie Ming was not surprised but happy, understanding in his heart: "It seems I was right; the next stage of the 'Internal Circulation' has begun!"

The core of the "Internal Circulation" method he practiced was the method of opening up a cave heaven.

When advancing to Foundation Establishment, this method opened up an initial internal space in his body.

Now that the Jin Dan had condensed, and the energy level and life essence had leaped, this internal space naturally had to evolve and expand accordingly!

Jie Ming had long anticipated this and had also prepared a contingency plan.
