Eternal Emperor's Path to Ascension-Chapter 285: Spiritual Grade Low-Rank Dharma Treasure!
After that, Tian Yongheng focused on his own cultivation and continued to stabilize his cultivation base.
Inside the Time Dao Compass, Liu Ruoxue and the others found themselves in a vast world with seemingly no end, and feeling the rich Spirit Qi inside that was no less than that of the Eternal Peak outside, they wasted no time and began to cultivate, wanting to seize this opportunity to its fullest.
They were also going to cultivate their various spells and arts here to save time so that their combat power would match their realm after going out.
And like this, 3 months passed in the outside world.
In these 3 months, Tian Yongheng had yet to fully stabilize his newly advanced cultivation base. It wasn't a simple task at such a high realm as the Immortal Ascension Realm, and it would take at least 1 or 2 years to fully stabilize it.
Today, Tian Yongheng curiously peeked inside the Time Dao Compass to see how those disciples were developing.
It had been over 90 years in the Time Dao Compass, after all.
Both Liu Ruoxue and Yang Wei had reached the Ninth Stage of Golden Core Realm, as expected, but they were focusing on improving their techniques and spells to their current level and probably won't be out for another few weeks.
Sun Hao, who was already at the Ninth Stage of Golden Core Realm when entering the Time Dao Compass, was focusing on improving his skills and Sword Intent.
He was the disciple of Zhao Ye and was to become a great mighty figure in the future according to Yan Jingfei, and of course, he was also a Chosen One, possessing the Heaven Dominating Violent Sword Body and the Primitive Sword Mirage Pupils. Of course his talent was terrifying.
It was a pity that neither of these talents had much of an effect on cultivation speed. Otherwise, he would have entered the Void Refinement Realm by now.
However, Tian Yongheng also suspected that these powerful constitutions and talents of Chosen Ones weren't able to grow at their true pace due to being in the Lower Realm. If they reached the Upper Realm in the future, then there was a chance their cultivation speed might surge.
Jian Qi, on the other hand, had already entered the Golden Core Realm and was cultivating extremely fast, yet with a stable foundation.
Perhaps this was the effect of his Supreme Invincible Heart.
Tian Yongheng had almost forgotten that this fellow was the descendent of a True Immortal. It meant he had partial True Immortal Bloodline.
No wonder his cultivation speed was so fast.
He just took around 30 years more than Tian Yongheng did to go from the First Stage of Innate Realm to the First Stage of Golden Core Realm!
This was indeed extremely fast cultivation speed.
However, it was because the Spirit Qi in the Eternal Peak at that time was far less abundant than it was now.
If Tian Yongheng were to cultivate one again from the beginning with this environment, it would take him just a little over ten years to go from the Acupoint Opening Stage to the Acquired Realm and at most 50 to 60 years to enter the Golden Core Realm from being a mortal with no cultivation. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
Of course, he would never admit that his cultivation speed was fast.
On the other hand, Wei Qiushan also smoothly entered the Innate Realm, almost nearing its Fourth Stage at the moment.
It was estimated that in another hundred or two hundred days, all of these disciples would have undergone extreme transformation.
Then, Tian Yongheng closed his eyes again.
Unbeknownst to him, the outside world was boiling at this moment.
The news that the current Saint Master of Kunlun Divine Mountain, the publicly acknowledged strongest cultivator in the world, was facing a mysterious powerhouse in the void above the Mortal World for the past 15 years had already spread throughout the entire world.
The battle had been going on for 15 years, and even those low level Qi Condensation Rogue Cultivators in the Eastern Region knew about it. Although such low level Rogue Cultivators weren't aware of it in the other Continents, information had already spread, and it won't be long before even mortals across the entire world would know what was going on.
Fights between experts at higher realms, specially if they were of equal strength, usually lasted decades if not centuries. However, most battles never reached the scale of centuries since many powers would come forward to mediate because of the immense damage it would cause to the world.
Of course, interests were involved as well.
Unless it was a full scale war, that is. Just like the Righteous-Demonic War.
And right now, it was known throughout the world that the mysterious powerhouse was from the side of the demonic forces. This battle was destined to last centuries if external factors didn't come in between the two mighty figures.
...
At the same time, Central Continent.
Kunlun Divine Mountain.
A solitary figure gazed up at the boundless night sky with his hands behind his back, his eyes filled with incomprehensible depth as he held a wooden sword in his right hand.
The Sword Venerable let out a sigh before sitting down on a stone bench, the place he always sat on whenever he had too much thoughts but no one to talk to about them.
Everyone from his time, from his master to his great grand disciples, had either passed away or ascended. It had always been him alone since he first became the Saint Master of Kunlun Divine Mountain all those years ago.
This ordinary stone bench became the one of the few things that had been with the old man since the beginning of his life, and it had never withered away because of the rich Spirit Qi on the Tenth Summit's back mountain always nourishing it. After being nourished for millions of years, even the stone had become somewhat spiritual.
Tian Yun had been accepted as a disciple by him since young, yet after becoming the Saint Lord, he didn't have much time to spend with him. Even as an Immortal, the old man was still a human and had not attained true divinity. It would be a lie to say that he didn't feel lonely, specially since he knew that he would remain stagnant and never be able to advance to a higher realm in the future until the end of his lifespan.
Now, after giving away his Saint Lord position to his only disciple, Tian Yun had become like before again, but many years had passed, and the feelings between master and disciple have naturally thinned.
"I don't have much time left..."
A malencholic look appeared on the old man's face as he softly muttered these words, a leaf from the nearby spiritual tree landing on his lap in response.
...
3 years later.
Eastern Continent, Eternal Peak.
Tian Yongheng quietly cultivated, comprehending the complex heavenly rules and the Heavenly Questions while absorbing the powerful Immortal Qi from a Immortal Spirit Stone, which directly transformed into potent Spiritual Energy upon entering his body before resting in the Sea of Consciousness.
The personal disciples of the Eternal Peak had already exited the Time Dao Compass a while ago, all having attained the peak of Golden Core Realm without a doubt.
The other disciples in the Eternal Peak were shocked seeing this sudden change, and then Tian Yunchen announced the shocking news about the Time Dao Compass.
These disciples were all trustworthy people, and who would even dare to sabotage the Eternal Peak with a person like Tian Yongheng sitting in charge?
All disciples were shocked and excited after hearing about that, and a competition was arranged. There was a competition for every realm, from even the Acupoint Opening Stage to the Innate Realm.
No external assistance, including pills, formations, or Dharma Artifacts were to be used in the competition for fairness, and the top ten of each realm division group will receive a chance to enter the Time Dao Compass for an entire year in the outside world, meaning a full 365 years inside the Time Dao Compass!
This competition was to be held once every decade, and each time, one of the 3 elder level figures, the First Supreme Tian Yunchen, Second Supreme Su Yanlan, and Swordmaster Zhao Ye, will take turns overseeing the competition so that all 3 won't be too distracted from their cultivation.
Since the Eternal Peak had already closed their doors to accepting more members some time ago, no new person would enter for the time being, and all new disciples were the children of older disciples.
Right now, the next competition was set to take place around 9 years later.
Today, a powerful aura suddenly spread out from Tian Yongheng's cave abode, attracting everyone's attention in the Dao Field.
Before the phenomena could spread to the outside world, the Dao Field automatically blocked it, preventing the Heavenly Dao and other prying eyes from sensing it.
Sensing the abnormality, Tian Yongheng immediately opened his eyes and flashed towards a corner of his cave abode, where his clone held a divine sword brimming with celestial light in his hand.
Seeing the sword, Tian Yongheng felt palpitations, yet a surge of excitement rushed through him at the same time.
At that moment, a system notification appeared before him.
[The Primal Dao Sword has successfully surpassed the ranks of Dharma Artifacts and broken mortal constraints, becoming a Spiritual Grade Low-Rank Dharma Treasure.]
