C101 five stages

The battle at Ox-Head Mountain still attracted the attention of many cultivators in Mengyu County and Chenyu County. From the battle trail left behind in Ox-Head Mountain, it was obvious that there was a hidden force there, and this battle had also seen a battle between Martial Saints, and there were even spirit techniques and divine abilities. This caused some ripples in the quiet cultivation world of Chenyu and Mengyu County.

Who was the power that had concealed itself within Ox-Head Mountain? Who was the power that had uprooted him?

Nearby the two counties was the Niu Tou Mountain, Meng Yu County's Desolate Hill Town garrison. It was reprimanded by Monk Yu County's Daoist Master Xiong Changfeng. It was said that the position of the guardian was in danger, so Dao Master Changfeng intended for the younger generation of the family, Xiong Manshan, to assume the role of the guardian of Desolate Hill Town.

Unlike Mengyu County, the incident at the Ox-Head Mountains had caused a stir in Chenyu County. Before Chenyu County could react, the news of Heaven Shaking Sect's failure to protect had already spread like wildfire throughout the entire county. It had even made all the major forces in Chenyu County forget where the event was happening, and they all focused their efforts on scolding the Heaven Shaking Sect.

The incident at Ox-Head Mountain could be considered big or small. Compared to the two counties, the rumors about the unstable position of the Cheng Yu County's magistrate were getting hotter and hotter. All the large and small forces in the county were beginning to stir.

Immediately after, the guard of Chaotic Stones Town of Chenyu County, which was also near the Ox-Head Mountains, suddenly resigned from his post due to the fact that she had failed to detect anything. Before the forces of Chenyu County could react, an inner disciple named Xue Sheng descended from the sky and took up his post in the Chaotic Stones Town.

Soon, the news about Xue Shoudao spread throughout Chenyu County. This inner disciple was at the fourth level of the Martial Saint Realm and was said to be a disciple of one of the elders of the Heaven Shaking Sect.

While the situation in Chenyu County was changing, Yang Junshan was quietly cultivating in his uncle's house. Originally, Yang Junshan had planned to go to Fangshi Town to dig the Heaven's Glaze mud, but because Chenyu County was not peaceful recently and he had obtained a lot of Earth Stones from Ox-Head Mountain, Yang Junshan was able to calm himself down and cultivate in order to reach the fifth stage of the Martial Realm.

At that time, the future leader of the three prodigies of the Heaven Shaking Sect was already a High Rank Mortal Realm cultivator. If Yang Junshan's prediction was correct, then the reason why Zhang Yue Ming came to the Mortal Realm Courtyard in Chenyu County was to prepare for breaking through to the Martial Disciple Realm.

When Qu Wushan saved him, he was already at the fourth stage. Now that two years had passed and he was cultivating in the Heaven Shaking Sect, his cultivation should be at least as strong as Zhang Yue Ming's.

As for the "three prodigies" last person, "smitten with weapons", Ouyang Xulin, she was already an early stage Martial Disciple because she was older than the first two and had opened up her Dantian.

Compared to the whole of Yuzhou, Yang Junshan's cultivation was still a level lower. He must try his best to keep up with their footsteps, in order to have the power to protect himself in the changing cultivation world in the future.

Usually, one cloud pill was enough for him to cultivate for one day. In order to prevent the pill from accumulating poison, he would need to use three to four days after consuming the pill to automatically dissolve the Qi in his body. This way, it would take up to five days.

However, after Yang Junshan advanced to the fourth stage, he realized that his body's ability to expel the poison was far above his expectations. Basically, after refining a pill, it would only take one day to purge most of the poison from his body.

Yang Junshan was surprised, but he was no longer surprised. Ever since his wounds had healed and he had been immune to miasma, it didn't seem like a big deal to have another detoxification ability. However, his expectation for the Concealed Immortal Root made from top-grade immortal essence had grown stronger.

Five days for one pill to three days for one pill was the most obvious increase in Yang Junshan's cultivation efficiency. During the two days to soothe the pill's poison, he could use the Wutu Stone to continue cultivating, increasing the cultivation efficiency even further.

The process of laying down the Immortal Foundation was different from other stages of cultivation, the other stages of cultivation needed to be done step by step, while the establishment of the Immortal Foundation required a large amount of spiritual energy to be replenished, which meant that as long as a cultivator cultivated more, the recovery of spiritual energy would be more complete, and there would be no bottlenecks in the process.

That was because Yang Junshan's cultivation speed was very slow. Otherwise, with the cultivation resources that he had accumulated, it would have taken him less than a year to reach the consummate stage of the fourth stage.

After the battle at Ox-Head Mountain, Yang Junshan had been cultivating in seclusion for more than two months. He had already polished his Immortal Foundation to the point where he could advance to the fifth stage.

As the name implied, after advancing to the Mortal Realm's fifth layer, cultivators would naturally be able to use spells with their bare hands. It was not like the fourth layer, where the casting of spells required the help of talismans and other external forces.

The main reason is that after advancing to the fifth layer, the immortal roots in a cultivator's body can link together to form a cycle of spiritual energy circulation. The spiritual energy in the cultivator's body is no longer rootless, and the spiritual energy contained within the Great Circle of the Immortal Foundation can be used to assist one another, allowing the cultivator to use the spiritual energy in a way that is no longer lacking.

Strictly speaking, when the Immortal Foundation was complete, it could be considered to have advanced to the fifth level, because when the Immortal Foundation was complete, it could completely withstand the spiritual energy consumption required to cast the spell once. However, this was only for cultivators with only one Immortal Foundation, for cultivators with more than two Immortal Roots, re-establishing a connection between them was the sign of advancing to the fifth level.

For other cultivators, this process would require slow exploration within their bodies, but for Yang Junshan, this process was very familiar. Coupled with Yang Junshan's achievements in body forging, it made the process of him re-opening the spiritual energy communication channel between the three Immortal Roots less complicated, and the opening of the spiritual energy channel was also relatively fast.

Originally, Yang Junshan thought that relying on the Bone Marrow Concealment Immortal Root which contained more than two times the spiritual energy of ordinary Immortal Roots, he should have been the fastest in the process of opening a channel. Unexpectedly, the speed at which he opened the channel was comparable to that of the Bone Marrow Immortal Root.

Among the three, Yang Junshan had the lowest quality and the one with the least spiritual energy. However, when opening the spiritual energy channels in his surroundings, his speed was extremely fast. However, as the spiritual energy channels distanced themselves from the other two and extended towards the other two, his speed immediately slowed down, and he finally became one of the slowest ones among the three.

Yang Junshan could already guess that the reason was because of the Six Desire Blessings. The body tempering legacy that Chen Ji had left him was extremely mysterious. Until now, he had only mastered the cultivation method of the Bile Desire Embroidery, but the effect was obvious.

Two spiritual energy channels extended from each of the three Immortal Roots and began to connect with each other. This would take at least three months for an ordinary cultivator, and Yang Junshan only needed a month to complete his training.

As the six spiritual energy channels connected in twos and threes, Yang Junshan's body shook. The three immortal roots connected with each other, and the accumulated spiritual energy communicated with each other.

He had finally mastered the celestial spell at the fifth level of the Mortal Realm!

Yang Junshan suddenly opened his eyes, pressed his middle finger with his right thumb, and shouted in a low voice, "Break!"

Bang!

Ten meters away, a depression appeared in the middle of the door that was made of a large piece of bluestone. Cracks spread out in all directions like spider webs.

Yang Junshan leaped up from the training room, his figure jumping like a fierce tiger. He walked up to the big blue door and pushed. A foot-thick stone door slowly opened, and a beam of sunlight came in from outside.

Yang Junshan walked out of the cultivation room. The stone door behind him slightly trembled the moment it closed, "Splash". A large piece of stone the size of a grape fell to the ground, with a one-foot wide hole in the middle of the door.

The surging spiritual energy in his body was circulating. The two life spells that he had successfully cultivated could be used as he wished. After his rebirth, this was the first time Yang Junshan felt that he finally had some strength to protect himself.

Yang Junlu and Yang Junkai had been rather anxious recently. Ever since they had taken Yang Junshan to the courtyard of Chenyu County, the two brothers had started to think about the spiritual materials that Yang Junshan had collected recently.

However, Yang Junshan didn't mention anything about this ever since they returned from the county. However, these two brothers thought that since Master Fei was in their hands, Yang Junshan would ask for it sooner or later, so they weren't in a hurry.

Unexpectedly, another matter happened a few days ago. After more than two years of nurturing, the spiritual herbs grown by their Third Uncle Yang Tian's family's spiritual field had finally matured. That was over a thousand spiritual herbs, and his boss' wealth was something that Yang Tian Chen had long since set his eyes on.

The reason why he spent so much effort to find the seed for the Crimson Flame Grass for his second brother was not because of the 30% harvest, but rather because he wanted to sell all of Yang Tian Chen's spirit herbs to the Heaven Shaking Sect. This way, he could not only use these spirit herbs to display his abilities to the Heaven Shaking Sect, but also get a share of the benefits from them.

However, after the Sky Spirit Grass matured, Yang Tian had just sent someone to deliver 30% of the Scarlet Flame Grass's harvest. However, after that, Yang Tian had sent someone to deliver 30% of the Scarlet Flame Grass's harvest.

For this reason, Yang Tian Chen flew into a rage, cursing Yang Tian for not being worthy of being his mother's brother. He knew that he was at the critical point of breaking through to the fourth level of the Martial realm, but he did not extend his hand to help Yang Tian Chen, so the two brothers took everything in heart, afraid that Yang Junshan would fall into a mishap and lose all the benefits they had gained. Therefore, they planned to urge Yang Junshan to give the spirit materials they had gathered to "Master Fei" first.
