Chapter 21: Cultivating to Immortality in One Go? Houtu Has a Temper Too!

Lu Yun did not know what had happened after he began his cultivation.

Because he had activated the Enlightenment Halo, he was completely immersed in a state of cultivation at this moment, and almost every problem he encountered in his practice was solved in an instant.

Thus, he quickly and smoothly stepped into the first stage of "Star Transformation"—the Nebula Stage!

The cultivation conditions in the Primordial World were truly too good; the Heaven and Earth Qi was incomparably abundant.

Coupled with the fact that he had just eaten a considerable amount of monster beast meat, his body was filled with energy, and as his cultivation technique circulated, he felt his cultivation level rising rapidly.

Early Nebula Stage!

Mid Nebula Stage!

Late Nebula Stage!

Just as Houtu was hunting those two unlucky Heavenly Immortal Demons, Lu Yun had remarkably already reached the peak of the Nebula Stage!

However, in Houtu's perception, his cultivation level had not actually increased; only the aura of his magic power had changed.

This was because the Nebula Stage corresponded to nothing more than Refining Qi into Spirit in the Primordial World.

Before he practiced "Star Transformation," his strength had already surpassed Refining Qi into Spirit, so naturally, there could not have been any change.

Lu Yun was still continuing his cultivation, and soon he completed a breakthrough, reaching the next stage—the Meteor Stage.

Within his dantian, meteors evolved inside the nebula, constantly shuttling between the nebulae.

This stage corresponded to the Nascent Soul stage in the "Star Transformation" world, while in the Primordial World, it remarkably corresponded to Refining Spirit into Void! At this moment, Houtu finally felt a change in Lu Yun's cultivation level.

This was because, with the help of the Enlightenment Halo, Lu Yun had also quickly cultivated the Meteor Stage to its peak!

And in Houtu's perception, it was equivalent to Lu Yun suddenly advancing from the early stage of Refining Spirit into Void to the perfection of Refining Spirit into Void.

And then—

"Hum!"

Lu Yun had completed another breakthrough, reaching the third stage of "Star Transformation"—the Star Core Stage!

The cultivation stages of the complete version of "Star Transformation," from low to high, are: Foundation Establishment, Nebula, Meteor, Star Core, Planet, Tribulation Transcendence, Star, Dark Star, Black Hole, Origin Point, Universe, and Cosmos, totaling twelve levels!

And the mainstream cultivation stages of the Primordial World, from low to high, are: Refining Essence into Qi, Refining Qi into Spirit, Refining Spirit into Void, Refining Void into Dao, Tribulation Transcendence Becoming Immortal (Earth Immortal), Heavenly Immortal, Mysterious Immortal, Golden Immortal, Taiyi Golden Immortal, Great Luo Golden Immortal, Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal (Saint), and Primordial Infinite Great Luo Golden Immortal, also totaling twelve levels!

Now that Lu Yun had reached the Star Core Stage, it naturally meant he had broken through to the Primordial Refining Void into Dao stage!

Seeing that he had broken through a major realm after cultivating for only half a day, Houtu naturally could not help but feel a bit surprised.

After all, at this rate of cultivation, this member of the Human Race would likely be undergoing Tribulation Transcendence Becoming Immortal very soon! What surprised Houtu even more was that after reaching this stage, Lu Yun had no intention of stopping his cultivation; instead, he took out some medicinal pills, consumed them, and continued to cultivate!

Seeing him like this, Houtu highly doubted whether Lu Yun intended to cultivate until he became an immortal in one go.

In fact, Lu Yun did indeed have such an intention.

After all, the Enlightenment Halo was rare, and the Primordial World was so dangerous; he had to cherish every moment of cultivation now to improve his cultivation level as much as possible.

However, after reaching the Star Core Stage, he suddenly discovered that the energy from the monster beast meat he had eaten earlier had long since been digested, and the speed of purely absorbing Heaven and Earth Qi was no longer keeping up with what he needed for his cultivation.

By now, more than half a day had passed without him realizing it, and the time for the Enlightenment Halo was about to end. Fortunately, Lu Yun discovered that many of the spirit herbs and Spirit Stones he had uploaded earlier had been bought by others, earning him over twenty thousand points. Added to the points he had gained from selling the monster beast carcasses earlier, he had tens of thousands of points in his account without even realizing it.

Originally, Lu Yun had intended to accumulate some points to purchase cultivation techniques, but he already had "Star Transformation," which was sufficient for his current cultivation and had huge potential, so he did not need to buy any extra techniques.

Therefore, Lu Yun gritted his teeth, purchased a large number of medicinal pills from the Points Mall, swallowed them in one gulp, and continued his cultivation.

With the aid of the medicinal pills, his cultivation speed finally increased once again.

Mid Refining Void into Dao!

Late Refining Void into Dao!

Seeing that Lu Yun was truly about to charge toward Tribulation Transcendence Becoming Immortal, Houtu could not help but feel a bit of anticipation.

But just at this moment—

"Hum!"

A tyrannical pressure suddenly swept toward this direction!

Houtu's expression changed slightly, and she immediately channeled her magic power, transforming it into an earthy-yellow light shield that enveloped Lu Yun, blocking the impact of that pressure!

Only after confirming that Lu Yun's cultivation had not been interrupted did Houtu heave a sigh of relief.

As a dignified Ancestral Witch, she had promised to protect someone; if she still allowed Lu Yun's cultivation to be disrupted, that would be unacceptable.

If word of this got out, where would the Ancestral Witches' reputation be? Thinking of this, Houtu's expression turned cold as she looked in the direction from which the pressure was sweeping; she remarkably saw a group of the Demon Race sweeping toward them, covering the sky and earth!

The rolling demonic aura soared into the sky, even causing the nearby firmament to quickly turn black.

This time, it was not those small demons from before; looking over, the weakest of this group of the Demon Race were Heavenly Immortals, and there were even Mysterious Immortals and Golden Immortals everywhere!

The leader was actually a Taiyi Golden Immortal! Such a formation was not enough to scare Houtu, but it did leave her somewhat puzzled.

Because this place was originally very remote, and logically speaking, there shouldn't have been any Great Monsters within a thousand miles; how could such a group of fellows suddenly appear? After a moment of thought, when Houtu looked at Lu Yun again, her gaze could not help but hold a bit of apology.

Because she felt that this group of the Demon Race must have been attracted by her!

She figured that some small demons must have discovered her, an Ancestral Witch, and reported the news, which had brought this group of the Demon Race here and almost ruined Lu Yun's enlightenment.

However, while Houtu felt secretly guilty, a cold and stern look soon appeared on her beautiful face.

A mere Taiyi Golden Immortal, leading a group of small demons, actually dared to come and surround her, an Ancestral Witch? They were simply tired of living!

Although she had never liked killing, that did not mean she, Houtu, had no temper! Thus, Houtu quickly channeled her magic power, and streaks of earthy-yellow divine light appeared nearby, instantly enveloping and protecting Lu Yun, along with the campfire where they had been roasting meat and all the ingredients.

With this layer of protection, it would not be easy for even a Great Luo Golden Immortal to cause any impact on Lu Yun.

However, Houtu still felt it was not safe enough, so she used her Supernatural Power again, causing this layer of divine light shield to disappear and hide itself.

After doing all this, Houtu then floated toward those demons.

She wanted to see which little brat of the Demon Race dared to look down on her, Houtu, so much!
