CHAPTER 777: Three Years
In the spacious training room, Liu Yu sat cross-legged in silence.
On his robust and masculine face, a rich azure spiritual light appeared, and the nascent soul spiritual pressure filled the room.
Within his body, the tenth layer of qingyang skill continuously operated, refining the effects of the Azure Spirit Mushroom and a vast amount of spiritual energy.
First, through seventy-two cycles of the physical body, the spiritual energy was initially refined into magical power, and then through thirty-six cycles in the nascent soul state, it was refined into true nascent soul magical power.
Different realms have different requirements for the "purity" of magical power, and the intensity of magical power can vary significantly.
Thus, as the realm increases, the number of cycles in the cultivation technique's grand circulation will also gradually increase.
During each operation of the technique, it is necessary to further eliminate the "impurities" in the spiritual energy and magical power, refining the magical power further.
If in the qi refinement realm, the purity of magical power is generally around ninety percent, then in the foundation establishment realm, it is above ninety-five percent.
In the golden core realm, it is at least ninety-nine percent, potentially reaching ninety-nine point nine-nine.
To reach ninety-nine point nine-nine, if a golden core cultivator wants to further purify their magical power, relying solely on oneself is no longer feasible; external forces such as spiritual objects or heavenly materials and earthly treasures must be utilized.
As for the nascent soul realm, through the grand circulation in the nascent soul state, one can easily purify their magical power to ten decimal places.
This represents a qualitative change compared to the golden core realm.
From gaseous magical power to liquid magical power, and then to solid magical power in the golden core realm, each transformation brings about a qualitative change, significantly representing the "magical power intensity" that greatly increases.
The potency of a unit of solid magical power can even exceed that of liquid magical power by dozens or even hundreds of times!
Similarly, the nascent soul magical power refined from nascent soul state is also dozens of times more potent than golden core magical power.
Of course, the specific differences still vary from person to person; however, for the same unit of magical power, the potency across different realms is at least ten times different, with the highest potentially nearing one hundred times.
For example, the peak of the golden core realm compared to the early stages of foundation establishment.
Thus, between each major realm, there exists an almost insurmountable chasm!
Throughout the entire history of the cultivating immortality world, those who could strike down their superiors without external help are few and far between.
Within Liu Yu, the vast amount of spiritual energy released by the Azure Spirit Mushroom rapidly underwent numerous grand circulations, imprinting spiritual consciousness and being refined into strands of extraordinarily tiny deep azure magical power.
Although the quantity and scale of spiritual energy visibly decreased, once refined into nascent soul magical power, its potency increased hundreds or even thousands of times.
Throughout this process, the spiritual energy did not genuinely diminish much; it was merely compressed and condensed into higher-quality nascent soul magical power, appearing to shrink significantly.
Spiritual energy that flows in an orderly manner according to certain rules is referred to as "spiritual power"; both are essentially the same substance.
The main purpose of the grand circulation is to eliminate impurities from the spiritual energy and spiritual power as much as possible.
This transforms it from disorder to order and then continuously compresses and condenses to meet the requirements of corresponding realms, finally imprinting spiritual consciousness.
