Note From Developer: I’m a big fan of Chinese web novels, but I often came across great stories with poor translations. That’s why I started this website! My goal is to make this the best web novel translation site out there. If you have any suggestions or feedback, feel free to reach out on Discord or Instagram.

Liu Yu focused inwardly on the blood flowing within him, resembling bright red glass, and the “Blazing Sun magical power” filling the nine major acupoints.
A smile gradually spread across Liu Yu's face, his body and mind feeling somewhat pleased, and he relaxed.
However, this smile did not last long before it completely froze!
“Ugh~!”
Suddenly, a severe pain erupted from his Primordial Spirit, making it nearly impossible for him to think, and he couldn't help but let out a cry of agony.
The pain directly affecting the Primordial Spirit was a hundred times more intense than that of the physical body.
Caught off guard, even Liu Yu, whose will was as solid as a rock, found it nearly unbearable.
The sudden pain exceeded the suffering from not using supplemental resources while practicing the “Art of Spirit Preservation” by several times, comparable to the torment of soul extraction and spirit refinement!
“Gather Qi, Focus Spirit, Embrace the Origin and Guard the One.”
Enduring the intense pain, after a few breaths, he finally regained some mental clarity. Liu Yu concentrated all his thoughts, trying to find the cause of the change.
When he slightly calmed down and directed his spiritual consciousness toward the Mud Pill Palace's Primordial Spirit, he finally understood the reason.
“It turns out that the rapid growth of the Primordial Spirit after the promotion caused this.”
In pain, Liu Yu revealed an ugly smile.
He could clearly feel that with every passing second, his Primordial Spirit was rapidly expanding, and along with the increase in Primordial Spirit's power, his spiritual consciousness was also rapidly elevating.
If practicing the “Art of Spirit Preservation” had the speed of a tortoise, then at this moment, it was like launching a rocket!
“Hum~!”
The intense pain from the Primordial Spirit surged again. Even with all his effort to focus his thoughts and silently reciting the “Sitting and Forgetting Heart Sutra” for resistance, Liu Yu still occasionally let out a painful grunt.
Pain, yet he was happy.
One hundred and two miles, one hundred and five miles, one hundred and ten miles.
Only after reaching one hundred and fifteen miles did the speed at which his spiritual consciousness grew gradually slow down.
The intense pain from the Primordial Spirit also slowly diminished.
“Whew~”
“The changes after advancing to the late third stage seem to be greater than anticipated, and the extent of the Primordial Spirit's growth is considerable.”
Exhaling a heavy breath, Liu Yu's expression gradually calmed down, and he silently thought.
He then took out the token of the “Illusory Extinction Triad Formation,” opened a small gap in the formation, and directed his spiritual consciousness to spread out in a certain direction with all his might.
One hundred and ten, one hundred and fifteen, one hundred and eighteen.
Following the gap, his spiritual consciousness extended out to one hundred and twenty miles before finally stopping.
“After breaking through to the late third stage, I have increased by eighteen miles.”
“This growth rate was beyond previous expectations; no wonder it was so painful during the promotion.”
Upon reaching this conclusion, a smile of joy appeared on Liu Yu's face.
The further one progressed with spiritual consciousness, the harder it became; even an increase of just one mile was significant.
From one hundred and two miles to one hundred and twenty miles, it appeared to be just an increase of eighteen miles on the surface.
However, in reality, the strength of his spiritual consciousness had nearly doubled!
This meant that his secret techniques for spiritual consciousness attacks, such as “Shock Spirit Stab” and “Great Dream of Spring and Autumn,” would also see significant increases in power, enhancing his overall strength considerably.
An increase in power meant that it would be quite effective against those cultivators with extremely high resistance!
“However, the cultivation world in the Central Domain is far more prosperous than that in Tian Nan, with various top-tier cultivation techniques emerging endlessly.”
