Chapter 723: Sixth Layer of Void Refinement

"Hao Cang, you've worked hard this time!"

He Pingsheng looked at Hao Cang and promised him: "Later, if there is a chance, I will help you dispel the karma as soon as possible!"

"No need to trouble yourself, Young Master's business is my business; this little bit of karma on this old slave is nothing, it won't affect my cultivation!"

"Look!" As he spoke, Hao Cang even exposed his back.

He Pingsheng saw that this fellow's back was almost entirely covered by a faint layer of red light of karma.

"Heh..." He Pingsheng said: "You have so much light of karma on you?"

Hao Cang said: "Yes, in the past, in order to improve my cultivation and repair my injuries, I didn't kill few human cultivators to take their Nascent Souls and swallow them!"

"This karma was all accumulated at that time!"

He Pingsheng also knew about this; it was precisely because Hao Cang had wanted to kill He Pingsheng to take his Nascent Soul that he was instead controlled by He Pingsheng and became his slave.

"Good, you may go down!"

He Pingsheng waved his hand.

Hao Cang left.

Just now, Hao Cang said that the light of karma on his back didn't affect his cultivation; that was impossible.

It definitely had an impact.

This thing, the light of karma, covering the surface of the body, not only could block the immortal spiritual energy from outside from entering the body, but could also block the body from comprehending Dao Laws and breaking through Dao barriers.

For example, Hao Cang, with his entire back covered by the light of karma, would definitely have his efficiency greatly reduced when cultivating.

He couldn't go all out.

Then the question arose, how to remove the light of karma?

Between heaven and earth, there were naturally treasures to dispel this thing; on one hand, there was the Red Lotus Fire among the ten Heavenly Innate True Fires, which could burn away the karma on a cultivator.

Secondly, some specific pills could also remove the karma on one's body.

However, when refining these specific pills, one needed to add a specific item: Creation Jin Guang.

This thing, Creation Jin Guang, only appeared when a cultivator underwent a tribulation, so it was not easy to obtain.

But not easy to obtain didn't mean impossible to obtain.

There was still a chance.

He Pingsheng's gaze rested on the cyan bead in his hand.

This bead was a Small Thousand World, a world opened up by a cultivator at the Mahayana Emperor Realm; he didn't know if the Treasure-Gathering Basin could enhance it.

Let's try!

He Pingsheng casually threw the Small Thousand World into the Treasure-Gathering Basin.

He took a look the next day: it hadn't been enhanced.

After all, this was an item made by a Mahayana Emperor Realm expert; if he wanted to enhance it, He Pingsheng felt his cultivation base had to reach at least the Body Integration Stage.

Hmm...

Next, let's continue to comprehend Dao Laws and cultivate the Dao!

A sixth-tier 【Dao-Gathering Pill】 containing time attributes was swallowed by him!

He Pingsheng sat cross-legged on the ground and began to comprehend the Dao.

Comprehending the Dao and traveling, the two complemented each other.

Without enough traveling, even with those Dao Laws and Dao Seeds, comprehending the Dao would be greatly discounted.

Conversely, as long as one had traveled enough, then swallowing Dao Laws to cultivate would have twice the result with half the effort.

He Pingsheng hadn't comprehended the Dao and cultivated for too long!

Because previously, just fusing this Nine Heavens Profound Fire had taken a full hundred years.

The process of swallowing Heavenly Fire was fusing external objects and didn't involve comprehending the Dao; it could be counted as part of traveling.

Time flowed slowly!

One year!

Two years!

Three years!

In a flash, seventy-six years passed!

In these seventy-six years, He Pingsheng had broken through five Dao barriers in total.

Similarly, after swallowing the sixth-tier 【Dao-Gathering Poor Pill】, his physical barrier also broke through.

Therefore, his current cultivation base had reached the sixth layer of the Void Refinement Stage.

Very smoothly, he hadn't encountered any obstacles along the way of this breakthrough.

But when he swallowed the 【Fire Attribute】 Dao-Gathering Pill to break through the seventh Dao barrier, He Pingsheng encountered difficulties.

Actually, it wasn't a difficulty.

It was just that he had been in seclusion comprehending the Dao for too long, hadn't traveled enough, and his state of mind couldn't keep up, which was why this situation occurred.

"Forget it!" He Pingsheng exhaled deeply, then stood up from the meditation cushion and muttered to himself: "Now that the Stone Platform Assembly is about to start, it shouldn't be long, so I won't cultivate anymore!"

"Prepare for the Stone Platform Assembly!"

He took a step and walked out of his training ground.

He Pingsheng's body landed in the void in front of the training ground; at this moment, he and heaven and earth seemed to have merged into one, his body constantly switching between void and reality.

This was because, in these seventy-six years of comprehending the Dao, he had successively broken through two Dao barriers through Time Dao Laws and three Dao barriers through Space Dao Laws.

Therefore, his understanding of time and space was deeper!

*Buzz, buzz, buzz... *

The void fluctuated, and He Pingsheng's body naturally swept across the infinite space, appearing ten thousand *zhang* away the next moment.

Previously, when he used the divine ability 【Void Swift Movement】, he could only dodge the opponent's attacks within a range of a thousand *zhang*; now this distance had increased to ten thousand *zhang*.

This was good news.

Of course, the reason he could do this was not because He Pingsheng's cultivation base had improved, but because his understanding of Space Dao Laws was deeper.

As for Time Dao Laws.

Indeed, his understanding of time was deeper, but he hadn't comprehended any divine abilities related to time.

It could only be said that those Origins of Time were still too few.

And Time Dao Laws were too profound and difficult to understand.

"Everyone come over!"

Having not seen them for so many years, it was time to hold a meeting.

He Pingsheng's words spread out, and the entire Lone Pine Mountain could hear them.

Then, streams of light quickly landed by his side.

Hao Cang, Zhou Qingmei, Long Yue, Fairy Zi Qing, and True Person Xihu!

Hao Cang's cultivation base had broken through two layers and was now at the fourth layer of the Void Refinement Stage.

There was no help for it; with the same resources, some people comprehended quickly, and some comprehended slowly.

For example, He Pingsheng.

With the same Dao-Gathering Pills taken out, if the two of them ate them together, Hao Cang might need thirty years to break the Dao barrier, while He Pingsheng might break it in ten years.

It was just that exaggerated.

Zhou Qingmei's cultivation base had also broken through, reaching the second layer of the Body Integration Stage.

This was very rare.

Zi Qing hadn't changed!

Still at the tenth layer of the Body Integration Stage.

Long Yue had reached Void Refinement!

True Person Xihu had reached Soul Transformation.

Everyone had improved.

"Congratulations..." Zi Qing cupped her hands toward He Pingsheng, feeling a wave of amazement deep in her heart.

Seventy-six years!

He had broken through directly from the first layer of the Void Refinement Stage to the current sixth layer of the Void Refinement Stage.

This speed...

*Tsk, tsk, tsk... *

Truly rare!

No... it should be said that it was even a level higher than the most genius Saintess of our Dalun Peacock Clan.

"Congratulations, Young Master!" The others also cupped their hands one after another.

He Pingsheng waved his hand and said: "Alright, don't say any more flattering words!"

"I'm afraid it won't be long before I go to participate in that Stone Platform Assembly..."

"After I leave here, you must continue to look after the sect well!"

"Promote low-tier disciples more and pay more attention to the growth of low-tier disciples!"

"The future of a sect must lie in the growth of the lowest-level disciples..."

This kind of logic was the experience He Pingsheng had summarized from the two living examples of the Tai Xu Men and the Li family of Doumi Mountain.

Treating low-level disciples well, the overall sect would definitely be upward and improving. ===== CHAPTER 724 =====
