Boom! Boom! Boom!
Ye Chen's heart was racing.
After a long while, Ye Chen finally calmed his excited mind, settling down from the power of the Taiyuan Chapter.
"The path must be taken one step at a time,"
"No matter how powerful the Taiyuan Chapter is, only when it is fully cultivated will it be fundamental!"
"The Taiyuan Chapter states that cultivating internal and external skills is immensely difficult and powerful alike. Whether it is cultivating the 999 Rotating Pills of the 'Extreme Realm Dispersion' or the unified 'Taiyuan Divine Pill' of 'Extreme Realm Fusion,' both are extremely challenging."
"And to cultivate the Five Great Divine Arts, to enhance their power—just acquiring treasures like Heaven and Earth True Fire, Heaven and Earth True Water requires countless opportunities and fortune. Not to mention cultivating all five Divine Arts to perfection. All of this requires even more diligent cultivation from me!"
"Whether it's internal or external skills, everything starts with the Rotating Pill."
"Now, my most important task is to break through to the Rotating Pill Realm!"
In the internal skill cultivation of the Taiyuan Chapter, the first step is to cultivate the Rotating Pill. The external skills "Five Great Divine Arts" of the Taiyuan Chapter also require the descent of the five Void Heaven Laws in the Rotating Pill Realm.
Therefore, if Ye Chen wants to cultivate the Taiyuan Chapter, the key is to enter the Rotating Pill Realm from the Spirit Sea Realm.
With this in mind, Ye Chen reviewed the Taiyuan Chapter's cultivation methods three more times in the third layer of the Starlight Tower, then directly used the method described in the Chapter to harness the "Starry Fog" within the third layer of the tower, and with a focused mind, carried the "Starry Fog" with him as he left the Starlight Tower and returned to his physical body.
Then, as the Starry Fog drifted above Ye Chen's energy sea and the five drops of Divine Blood fell into the Primordial True Liquid within the energy sea, Ye Chen began the final preparation to break through to the Rotating Pill Realm.
Ordinary people take about half a day to break through from the late Spirit Sea Realm to the Rotating Pill Realm, regardless of success or failure.
But, just as Jiang Yao's Phoenix Clan bloodline took an exceptionally long time to break through to the Rotating Pill Realm, Ye Chen's breakthrough was also entirely different from ordinary people!
One must know that the energy within Ye Chen's energy sea is not ordinary Qi or spiritual liquid, but the miraculous Primordial True Liquid produced by cultivating the "Primordial Chapter."
This Primordial True Liquid even granted Ye Chen the strength to suppress late-stage Rotating Pill powerhouses!
Now, to solidify this Primordial True Liquid into Rotating Pills and to invoke the five Divine Blood within the true liquid, as well as the Starry Fog above, was certainly not a simple matter of breaking through to the Rotating Pill.
After exiting the Starlight Tower, Ye Chen fully immersed himself in the final preparations for breaking through to the Rotating Pill Realm!
This preparation took another nine days.
During these nine days, two major events happened.
The first event was on the fourth day after Ye Chen came out of the Starlight Tower, which was also the thirteenth day that Ye Chen and Jiang Yao were breaking through their realms in the Void Heaven Sword Valley.
After all, mastering a Holy Art in the early phase of the Rotating Pill Realm was something very few among the Rotating Pill Realm powerhouses could achieve!
When the three champions of the Hidden Dragon List Great Contest were decided, each of them having secured the qualification to join the Heavenly Sacred Palace, both grand assemblies of Immeasurable Mountain had come to a complete end.
However, almost the majority of the martial artists had not left.
Because, atop Immeasurable Peak, there was an important matter everyone wanted to wait and see the outcome of.
That was Ye Chen's cultivation!
The Hidden Dragon List Great Contest had concluded, after Liu Qingmei, Jiang Yao had also completed her breakthrough into the Rotating Pill Realm, and now, in the entire Void Heaven Sword Valley, only Ye Chen was left to finish his cultivation.
Ye Chen had been cultivating inside the Void Heaven Sword Valley for a full sixteen days without completing his cultivation, which naturally made countless people extremely curious about what formidable skill Ye Chen was cultivating.
Countless spectators of the Hidden Dragon List Great Contest, numerous participants of the contest, the three who had just claimed the top spots, the martial artists from the Southern Territory who greatly admired Ye Chen, the three Shi Family brothers, the Drunken Sword Hermit, and people from the ten great Demon Sects of the Western Wilderness, all gathered again in the midst of Immeasurable Peak.
Add to that Mu Qingqing, who had always been guarding outside the Void Heaven Sword Valley, Jiang Yao who had completed her cultivation and was waiting for Ye Chen outside, and the powerful Heavenly Saints, numerous figures all stood in the void on the summit of Immeasurable Peak, looking towards the Void Heaven Sword Valley.
Everyone was waiting, waiting for Ye Chen's cultivation to be completed.
This waiting dragged on for another two days.
Five days after Jiang Yao completed her cultivation, two days after the Hidden Dragon List Great Contest ended, on the eighteenth day since Ye Chen began his cultivation in the Void Heaven Sword Valley, nine days after receiving the "Taiyuan Chapter," the previously still and seated Ye Chen finally opened his eyes from his meditative state.
The moment Ye Chen opened his eyes, the long-undisturbed Void Heaven Sword Qi around him surged and started rolling into his body again.
At the same time, within the expanse of Void Heaven, continuous rumbles of Void Heavenly True Thunder could be heard, and above the ninth heaven, the overwhelming auras of the five major Void Heaven Laws began to converge, gradually enshrouding the entire sky above the Void Heaven Sword Valley!
Seeing this spectacle, everyone waiting outside the Void Heaven Sword Valley became excited.
Because this spectacle was unmistakably the scene of a cultivator making a breakthrough into the Rotating Pill Realm!
"Ye Chen is starting his breakthrough into the Rotating Pill Realm!"
In the Southern Territory martial artists' area, the three Shi Family brothers were so thrilled that they were about to leap up.
The three brothers knew very well that Ye Chen had once overwhelmed the late-stage Rotating Pill powerhouses during the mid Spirit Sea Realm, and if Ye Chen was successful in his breakthrough into the Rotating Pill Realm, with Jiang Yao who had already succeeded in her breakthrough, the Southern Territory would have birthed two astonishing figures!
Perhaps, the two individuals who might change the stand-off between the Southern Territory and the Western Wilderness, even altering the course of the future war between the Southern Territory and the Western Wilderness, would be Ye Chen and Jiang Yao!
Seeing Ye Chen's breakthrough into the Rotating Pill Realm, the three Shi Family brothers were naturally over the moon, not just them, but all martial artists in the entire Southern Territory were excited!
On the other hand, in the crowd from the ten great Demon Sects of the Western Wilderness, many had grave expressions on their faces.
They didn't dare to imagine just how powerful Ye Chen would become once he truly completed his breakthrough into the Rotating Pill Realm after eighteen whole days of preparation.
There were even quite a few disciples of the Demon Sects secretly hoping in their hearts that Ye Chen's realm breakthrough would fail!
