Chapter 70: Advancing to the Qi Refining Seventh Layer, All-Around Improvement

However, Zhou Sui could not wait for several years.

After all, the current situation is so dangerous; who knows when the Youmo Sect will break through the Array Formation of Miyun City.

If it is broken, given his current cultivation, it would still be too dangerous.

Even if he could hide in the Underground Shelter, who knows what accidents might happen.

What if a Robber Cultivator, or perhaps a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, discovers the Underground Shelter he built?

This is not an impossible scenario.

Only powerful strength can deal with all accidents and dangers.

That is why he did not have the time to spend several years breaking through the bottleneck of the Qi Refining Late Stage; if possible, he wanted to break through now to improve his strength as quickly as possible.

Fortunately, he had been prepared for a long time.

Several months ago, Zhou Sui had obtained a Breakthrough Pill from those few Youmo Sect Cultivators.

Because the Youmo Sect Cultivators had no intention of hunting him down over these past few months and seemed to have forgotten about those few Demonic Sect Cultivators, this Breakthrough Pill had long since been brought back by his Clone Gu.

By utilizing this pill, he could save a massive amount of time and successfully break through to the Qi Refining Late Stage.

It must be said that he also had to be grateful to those few Youmo Sect Cultivators; if not for them, he would not have been able to obtain such a precious Breakthrough Pill.

"Let's begin."

Thinking of this, Zhou Sui did not hesitate and immediately consumed the Breakthrough Pill.

Rumble~~~

Instantly, he sensed a violent medicinal power erupting; this was the medicinal power from the Breakthrough Pill.

Unlike the Gold Marrow Pill, the medicinal power of the Breakthrough Pill was as swift and violent as a volcanic eruption, almost impossible to resist.

This raging medicinal power surged toward the bottleneck.

It was just like a flood, constantly crashing against a dam.

Crack~~

In an instant, Zhou Sui discovered that the previously impenetrable bottleneck had actually been breached by the violent medicinal power of the Breakthrough Pill, appearing with tiny cracks. If he had been cultivating bitterly, it would have taken at least several years for such signs to appear.

But with the help of the Breakthrough Pill, it was breached all at once.

This is the function of pills; their marvelous uses are endless.

Crack, crack~~~

Zhou Sui circulated the True Essence within his body, driving the raging medicinal power to constantly strike the bottleneck, and the cracks grew more and more numerous.

He did not know how much time had passed.

The original bottleneck seemed to be covered in dense cracks, just like shattered glass.

Boom~~

The next second, with the help of the massive medicinal power, this bottleneck was instantly shattered.

Qi Refining Seventh Layer!

Qi Refining Late Stage!

Without a doubt, with the help of the Breakthrough Pill, Zhou Sui had broken through the bottleneck of the Qi Refining Mid-Stage in one go and completely stepped into the realm of the Qi Refining Late Stage; once crossed, it was like the sea and sky opening up, with basically no obstacles at all.

Whoosh~~

At this moment, he discovered that the True Essence within his body had instantly increased by a full fold compared to before, and it had also cleared through one meridian after another; the massive True Essence flowed continuously through every meridian like a river.

Even his Soul power had undergone a further surge.

Originally, his divine sense was only equivalent to that of a Foundation Establishment Early Stage Cultivator, but now, it was already comparable to a Foundation Establishment Mid-stage Cultivator; his divine sense had received a tremendous boost.

At the same time, the power of the six great Gu Insects on his body—the Dream Soul Gu, Infatuation Gu, Gold-Eating Insect, Clone Gu, Book Gu, Wine Insect, and so on—had also improved to a certain degree.

They had all successively advanced to the First-tier High-grade realm, and their bodies also contained massive amounts of energy.

Of course, the Infatuation Gu was originally at the Second-tier Low-grade realm, and now it had impressively advanced to the Second-tier Mid-stage.

Its degree of evolution was also the highest.

"Fantastic."

Zhou Sui opened his eyes, revealing a startling radiance, his heart incomparably excited; after spending so much time and many pills, he had finally advanced his cultivation to the Qi Refining Seventh Layer.

Basically, this had cost him more than two years of time.

One must know that his predecessor's parents had cultivated for several decades and were only at the Qi Refining Seventh Layer.

But now, his cultivation was already on par with that of his former parents.

If this matter were to spread, it would certainly shock many Loose Cultivators.

Such a speed of progress, even if placed within a sect, would count as a genius.

Of course, he would not be foolish enough to tell others his true cultivation, otherwise, people would definitely know there was something fishy about him.

If there were no fortuitous encounters, how could one's cultivation improve so quickly?

This would inevitably attract the ill-intentioned covetousness of many Cultivators.

It was better for him to act low-key; such high-profile behavior did not suit his personality.

"Not bad."

Zhou Sui subconsciously looked at the Virtual Panel on his body; after all, only the Virtual Panel could detail exactly what level his current cultivation had reached.

【Host: Zhou Sui, Cultivation: Qi Refining Seventh Layer (Progress 1%), Lifespan: 20 (150) years】

【Aptitude: Seventh Grade Spiritual Root (20%)】

【Sword Dao: First-tier High-grade (80%)】

【Rune: First-tier High-grade (65%)】

【Array Formation: First Tier Mid Grade (85%)】

【Pill Master: First-tier High-grade (45%)】

【Phantom Demon Transformation Art: Mastery (95%)】

【Five Elements Alchemy Formula: Mastery (45%)】

【Fireball Technique: Major Achievement (45%), Wind Blade Technique: Proficient, Golden Light Technique: Proficient, Cold Ice Technique: Proficient, Spring Breeze Turns to Rain Technique: Proficient, Lightning Summoning Technique: Proficient...】

【Infatuation Gu: Second-tier Mid-grade, Clone Gu: First-tier High-grade, Wine Insect: First-tier High-grade, Gold-Eating Insect: First-tier High-grade, Book Gu: First-tier High-grade, Dream Soul Gu: First-tier High-grade.】

Instantly, a great deal of detailed information appeared before him.

It must be said that the power of the Book Gu is truly mysterious; it can digitize the various data of one's own body and skills, which also greatly facilitates the inspection of one's own cultivation results.

If the power of the Book Gu could be spread, one could only imagine how many powerful Cultivators it would create in the Immortal Cultivation World.

"Not bad. It seems the aptitude of my Spirit Root can still be improved. If I could advance to a Sixth Grade Spiritual Root, that would be equivalent to having the aptitude of a medium-grade Spirit Root, and my cultivation efficiency would certainly increase by a large margin. However, it should be impossible to improve it in the short term."

"Skills such as Sword Dao, Runes, and Array Formation have also improved to a certain degree."

"But the most important thing is the improvement of my Alchemy cultivation. If I have another year or six months, perhaps I can reach the perfection of the First-tier High-grade, and by then, I will be able to advance to a Second-tier Alchemist."

"This concerns my future cultivation and is also of the utmost importance. I will focus on improving my Alchemy skills during this period."

Zhou Sui stroked his chin, looked at the Virtual Panel, and began to think about his next cultivation plan.

Although Miyun City is indeed in a somewhat precarious situation right now, surrounded by the Youmo Sect, Miyun City has the protection of a Second-Tier Array, so there is no danger of it being breached in the short term.

Therefore, in the short term, Miyun City still does not have too much danger.

He can still cultivate with peace of mind for a period of time.
