Chapter 568: The Mystery of Spiritual Power
"Very good."
"Using the mid-stage realm to activate the Setting Sun Golden Rainbow Spear increases its power by fifty percent, which is quite significant."
"Indeed, the realm of cultivation is the foundation of everything."
"Furthermore, after reaching the mid-stage of golden core, the changes in magical power are considerable, and the effect of nurturing one's life-bound magical treasure is even better."
"With this, the rate at which the Setting Sun Golden Rainbow Spear's power grows will be even faster."
Looking at the wound on his palm, Liu Yu roughly estimated the power of the Setting Sun Golden Rainbow Spear, nodding in satisfaction.
The reason he tested it with his own palm was simply due to environmental limitations; he had no better option.
Even a target made of obsidian could not withstand the power at the golden core level, which was why he resorted to this approach.
After breaking through to a new realm, there would be more or less improvements in various aspects. Liu Yu deemed it very necessary to understand his strength after the breakthrough.
Otherwise, at a crucial moment, a slight miscalculation could lead to disastrous consequences.
In the midst of intense dueling of magic, a single misstep could mean the difference between life and death!
At that moment, it had been nine months since his second retreat.
The five of them had been at the Skyward Cave for four years and nine months, and there were less than three months left before their team set off again.
During these nine months, Liu Yu consumed elixirs and focused on cultivating, solidifying his realm completely.
Thanks to that dual cultivation, and more precisely due to the pure virgin yuan yin, the side effects of the cultivation technique did not resurface.
"That 'Yuan Yin spiritual power' should last for another two or three years, right?!"
Storing the Setting Sun Golden Rainbow Spear in his dantian and considering his body's current state, Liu Yu speculated in his heart.
Suddenly, a slight pain came, causing him to frown involuntarily.
On his palm, azure spiritual light flowed, enveloping the small blood hole, starting to heal.
Relying on the strong control over his physical body, even though injured, not a drop of blood flowed from the wound.
With the body cultivation magical power that had the characteristics of star power, and under his strong physique and vitality, the wound visibly began to heal.
Although it looked like a "blood hole," which seemed severe, it was merely a flesh wound.
The blow from the Setting Sun Golden Rainbow Spear carried no additional magical effects, nor any troublesome energy attacks like malevolent aura or sword qi, making it not difficult to heal.
Malevolent aura or sword qi entering the body would be a real problem, causing internal damage through the wound.
If serious enough, it could lead to the rupture of meridians, obstructing the flow of magical power and significantly diminishing strength.
Thus, when energies like malevolent aura entered the body, cultivators had to expend some energy to prevent it, which often affected their strength to some extent.
A mere flesh wound, which looked somewhat serious, vanished in just ten breaths.
His left hand returned to normal, not leaving even a scar.
Familiarizing himself with the changes after the breakthrough, Liu Yu withdrew his magical power and cleaned himself up.
He washed away the dust that had settled on his body from prolonged cultivation.
After cleaning up, he put on a brand new black robe and began to clean the tea set.
Looking at the empty room and the antique tea set in his hands, Liu Yu suddenly thought of the maid Wen Caiyi.
"Used to being waited on, it's really a bit uncomfortable to have to do it myself suddenly."
Shaking his head, Liu Yu tidied up the tea set and left the room after closing the array.
Gazing around, with the good view provided by the sunstone, he saw the hall was empty and cold, without a single person in sight.
Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed.
