Chapter 1032: Cultivation Acceleration

The Mysterious Origin, originally compressed and refined very slowly, was compressed faster and faster as they grew more skilled in using the Primordial Spirit Secret Technique.

Ye Liuyun saw that his two golden cores, originally full, had now been compressed by one-tenth.

"This speed is too fast! It seems the Primordial Spirit Secret Technique can also boost cultivation speed. From now on, when we compress the Mysterious Origin, the speed will be much faster!"

The clone estimated that one day of compression now matched the effect of a month's compression before.

The key is that this compression yields better results, making the Mysterious Origin more solid.

Ye Liuyun also sighed: "Yeah! I thought the Primordial Spirit Secret Technique had reached its limit before! I'm afraid my two mentors didn't know it still had this function."

At that moment, the two of them stopped being distracted and focused on cultivation.

Ye Liuyun's realm had been stuck at the Second Zao Hua Realm for a while, hindered by the Mysterious Origin not being solid enough; otherwise he would have broken through earlier.

The discovery of this new use of the Primordial Spirit Secret Technique meant Ye Liuyun's cultivation speed was greatly increased.

Inside the Xuan Kong Stone, they two completely finished compressing the Mysterious Origin. When their golden cores were fully absorbed, their realm naturally began to break through.

Boom!

The Mysterious Origin boiled and surged within their two bodies.

The two of them breaking through together caused a much greater commotion than one breaking through and then pulling the other along.

The two of them again exerted full effort to circulate the Primordial Spirit Secret Technique, beginning to absorb the energy within the Xuan Kong Stone and the golden cores.

Previously, when they cultivated, they could only feel spiritual qi entering the body; now they could clearly feel all kinds of energy.

In a world full of energy, various energies swarmed toward them.

Ye Liuyun and his clone were still distinguishing the different effects brought by different energies.

Dark-colored energy was demonic qi, which could only replenish their demonic qi, not raise their realm.

Pure white energy was spiritual qi; the slightly yellowish was the energy within the golden cores…

Until all the Mysterious Origin surged back into the golden cores, filling them again; then came repeated cycles of compression and absorption.

After another three days inside the Xuan Kong Stone, Ye Liuyun's realm unexpectedly rose directly to the mid-stage of the Third Zao Hua Realm, and his Mysterious Origin became unusually solid.

Although reaching the Third Zao Hua Realm, the speed of refining the Mysterious Origin was much slower than in the Second Zao Hua Realm, but compared to before, at least two or three months of time had been saved.

At that moment, Ye Liuyun's Divine Sense felt that Xia Tianqiong had come to call him to participate in the match.

"Let's stop cultivating here. I'll go to the match; you can first go practice on some weaker ferocious beasts."

Ye Liuyun gave a word to his clone, then left the Xuan Kong Stone to attend that day's match.

"I don't know if I'll be able to spar with Xue'er today."

Ye Liuyun had already prepared the resources he intended to give Liang Xue, but he never had the chance to give them to her.

He was also worried that sneaking out would draw attention, fearing it would bring trouble to Liang Xue, so he never dared to go look for her.

He was waiting until he fought Liang Xue to then give her the resources.

"Huh, you broke through?" As soon as Xia Tianqiong saw Ye Liuyun come out, she immediately sensed the change in his aura.

"Yeah. I broke through last night!" Ye Liuyun admitted.

"But… I see your aura is very stable, not like someone who just broke through!" Xia Tianqiong hesitated a moment, then couldn't help asking.

Ye Liuyun smiled and winked at Xia Tianqiong: "I have a secret weapon!"

Xia Tianqiong immediately understood that this definitely involved Ye Liuyun's secret, so she didn't pursue further.

"Hmph! Just show off then!" She felt somewhat dissatisfied that Ye Liuyun had a secret he didn't tell her, but there was nothing she could do.

Given their current relationship, Ye Liuyun indeed shouldn't let him know too many secrets.

Ye Liuyun followed the elders and disciples rushing to the competition arena.

The elders of the War Dragon Sect became vigilant again, using Divine Sense to seal off the space within a hundred zhang around Ye Liuyun to prevent a sneak attack.

After yesterday's lesson, the Shadow also temporarily ceased, no longer attempting to assassinate Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun smoothly entered the resting area and waited for the match to begin.

Among opponents of the same level, only a dozen or so remained; Ye Liuyun estimated he would soon meet Liang Xue.

And the Steward Elder presiding over the match indeed announced that each person must have at least two bouts today, to decide the top ten in each realm.

Ye Liuyun was still the first to step onto the stage, and his opponent was the ferocious beast that had previously chased Liang Xue.

This ferocious beast's true form was a blue-colored great Peng, brave and ferocious; anyone fighting it who didn't yield in time would at least suffer serious injury.

Upon seeing its opponent was Ye Liuyun, the blue Peng also became very solemn, revealing its true form as soon as it stepped onto the stage.

It had observed Ye Liuyun's previous battles, knowing he was difficult to deal with; therefore, as soon as it stepped onto the stage, it gave its all.

The huge blue Peng spread its wings, blotting out the sky as it rushed toward Ye Liuyun; in the air, a true essence Peng claw extended, reaching to grab Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun's golden pupil flashed, and a golden crow firebird flew straight to collide with the Peng's giant claw.

This golden crow firebird was not smaller than the blue Peng, and its whole body was interlaced with blood-red lightning power.

In the air, the golden and blue giant birds collided.

The two giant claws clashed, erupting in a booming sound, and both exploded in midair.

The blue Peng was preparing to attack again, but discovered that the golden crow had turned into a mass of flame rushing toward it.

It flicked its wings, trying to rise to dodge the blow.

The golden crow cried out, and a blood-red bolt of lightning shot from the flames, striking its chest.

Its whole body went numb, it let out a cry, and fell downward.

Immediately, the Golden Crow Holy Fire came upon it before it could continue falling.

With a "whoosh," the blue Peng's entire plumage was ignited by the Golden Crow Holy Fire.

The blue Peng, while crying out mournfully, folded its wings and fell straight to the ground, rolling over, while its entire true essence burst forth, trying to extinguish the fire.

Ye Liuyun, however, seized the moment to launch a spiritual soul attack, giving it no chance to breathe.

The blue Peng was busy trying to extinguish the fire, not expecting its soul to be attacked as well. Moreover, the attacking soul power was too strong; it had no power to resist, and both its primary and secondary souls were pulled by Ye Liuyun to be absorbed.

At the same time, Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil also took back the Golden Crow Holy Fire.

However, it's a pity that as soon as Qing Peng's Soul was pulled away, his defense immediately failed, and many parts of his body were instantly roasted by the Golden Crow Holy Fire.

Now Qing Peng, all his feathers have been burned away, and he is emitting waves of meat fragrance.
