Transcending the Nine Heavens

Chu Yang was so astonished by his own progress that he shivered slightly.

He had been practicing diligently for a long time, steadily advancing and transforming the life-and-death energy... but Chu Yang never expected that just yesterday, he was still swaying at the halfway point. Although the life-and-death energy in his dantian was nearly full, there was still quite a distance to go.

However, today, in just three short hours of practice, all nine dantians overflowed!

Now, he had reached the level of earth level pinnacle, no, at least it had to be more than nine times the ordinary earth level pinnacle strength.

Just one step away, and he could break through to the heavenly level!

This astonishing improvement made Chu Yang feel a chill run down his spine.

How could progress be so fast?

His divine thought instantly flashed into the nine calamity space, and as soon as he opened his eyes, everything went dark.

Is this my nine calamity space? How could it be like this?

Could it be that after great joy comes great sorrow?!

At this moment, the Sword Spirit rushed back anxiously: “This wave of life-and-death power... hurry!”

Suddenly, its eyes widened: “Oh... Sword Master Lord, are you planning to squander our resources?!”

The other things in the space didn’t matter much, but that crucial medicine field was showing signs of wilting, and even the nine great elixirs were slightly dimmer in color, no longer vibrant as before.

“I say, my lord, what exactly did you do?” the Sword Spirit asked in disbelief. “How could it... eh? How could your cultivation improve so much? This... this…”

“I don’t know what exactly happened... Not long ago, I unexpectedly entered a marvelous state, and when I came back to my senses, it turned out like this...” Chu Yang scratched his head and gave a bitter smile, explaining everything.

“Could it be heavenly spirit enlightenment?!” The Sword Spirit’s hair stood on end. “But how could you suddenly enter such a transcendent realm? That makes no sense!”

“Heavenly spirit enlightenment?” Chu Yang was taken aback. “What realm is that? What does it mean specifically!”

“As the name implies, it’s an epiphany on heaven’s way cycle...” the Sword Spirit said blankly. “That’s a true sense of unity of heaven and human... In that state, regardless of how much energy is around you, it will be swept away by you... this, this...”

Suddenly, a wave of fear hit!

Fortunately, the Water Spirit Power had been exhausted first, which forced Chu Yang to stop his practice. Otherwise... if he had continued to absorb crazily without restriction, just the energy in the nine calamity space could have burst him apart!

Even if Chu Yang miraculously survived, the nine calamity space would have been ruined...

It was really perilous...

“I say, my lord, if you enter such a realm again in the future, remember, please, do not exceed an hour! And absolutely do not use these treasures in the nine calamity space! Be very careful!” the Sword Spirit murmured. “But I think I worried too much... Heavenly spirit enlightenment is a realm that even saint level experts can only experience two or three times in their life... each time at most only lasts for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn...”

“An incense stick?!” Chu Yang exclaimed. “But I just maintained it for a full three hours, not less!”

The Sword Spirit suddenly lifted its head, feeling dizzy, almost collapsing to the ground. “What?!...”

After delivering this wave of life-and-death power, the Sword Spirit returned in a daze, leaving Chu Yang with one last message: “When the nine deaths soul returning grass arrives, you must plant it immediately! Do not use it yet! Remember that!”

Then it stumbled off, still feeling dizzy on the way, with a somewhat surreal feeling as if dreaming.

How could this be?

It shouldn't be!

Impossible, right?!

He was only at earth level, yet he achieved heavenly spirit enlightenment...

He was only at earth level, yet he had an epiphany for three hours...
