CHAPTER 425: AFTER MODIFICATION: CHAPTER 424 DISCOVERY

Bai Ziyue concealed himself and silently surveyed his surroundings, quickly discovering more revelations.

The Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth here was evidently much denser than in other regions of the Hundred Thousand Mountains. With a brief comparison, he even felt it was not weaker than the main peak of the Sunrise Daoist Sect, Sunrise Peak.

It was known that the main peak of the Sunrise Daoist Sect was a middle-tier Spirit Meridian, with a tremendous daily intake and output of spiritual energy, sufficient to support two or three Divine Realm Powerhouses in their cultivation.

As for this place... Bai Ziyue couldn’t help but apply the Great Cave Observation Technique.

Soon, he discovered that where they currently stood was merely a branch vein, with a more robust and spacious main vein lying several dozen miles away from there.

"A Fourth-Grade Spirit Meridian!

This place is definitely a Fourth-Grade Spirit Meridian; there isn’t a single Fourth-Grade Spirit Meridian in the entire Desolate Ancient Realm."

He was startled but, upon careful consideration, found it to be a matter of course.

*Whether for human cultivators or various Demon Beasts, wanting to enhance and grow comes with a high environmental demand.*

The crux of this is the Spirit Meridian.

Because only within a Spirit Meridian does the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi become sufficiently abundant, the higher the Spirit Vein Tier, the denser the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

Moreover, in such places, it’s often easier for various Treasures of Heaven and Earth and rare mystical treasures to emerge, greatly benefiting the growth of both cultivators and Demon Beasts.

The Golden Armor Demon Monarch, possessing strong power and at the Golden Core Realm level, naturally had enough strength and confidence to command a Fourth-Grade Spirit Meridian.

"Spirit Communication Realm Demon Beasts occupy Second-grade spirit meridians, Divine Realm Great Demons occupy Third-Grade Spirit Meridians, while Golden Core Realm Demon Monarchs can only continue to enhance and grow in a Fourth-Grade Spiritual Land. Once the environment fails to meet their needs, wars will break out."

Comparing his discoveries along the way, Bai Ziyue suddenly understood the distinction between Spirit Vein Tiers and Demon Beast power.

In this way, when he looked at the entire Hundred Thousand Mountains again, he had a more detailed analysis and a clearer understanding.

"So next, whenever I discover a Fourth-Grade, or even higher, Spirit Meridian, I shouldn’t hesitate. Respectfully keep my distance and immediately evade. That would be the most correct course of action.

This way, while I might not entirely avoid danger—because those Demon Beasts also roam around, hunt, and seek opportunities—I would still be able to minimize the threat.

I trust that my luck isn’t so poor as to encounter beings beyond the Golden Core Realm."

As Bai Ziyue thought this, he couldn’t help but show a hint of a smile.

His confidence grew.

...

The White Tiger Great Demon cautiously walked along the edge of the Fourth-Grade Spiritual Land. Even an occasional beast roar could make it fearful, and it endured provocation from low-level Demon Beasts without daring to exert any demonic power.

Fortunately, the journey was uneventful; they crossed the area safely.

"The next three hundred miles should be relatively safer, except for the Thunder Beast guarding the Thousand Peaks Ridge..."

Huu Dali spoke, a complex look flashing in eyes as round as copper bells.

Soon, it picked up speed again, moving like a tiger entering the forest, progressing even faster than before.

Of course, in such a perilous place, even with its overwhelming strength capable of crushing most Demon Beasts, it had to remain on high alert, not daring to travel at full speed.

Because traveling at full speed created loud disturbances, brimming with provocation, and in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, one could never be sure if some fierce Demon Beast would engage directly without hesitation.

*When Demon Beasts reached the Spirit Communication Realm level, they would gain intelligence. But if they hadn’t undergone systematic learning, their understanding was limited, ignorant and impulsive, naturally prone to fighting.*

Bai Ziyue didn’t dwell on it too much upon hearing this. After leaving the Golden Armor Demon Monarch’s territory, he also took a deep breath, feeling somewhat relieved.

As he ventured deeper into the Hundred Thousand Mountains, his understanding of the place deepened. Finally, his initial wariness and anxiety eased, as his thoughts turned increasingly toward his cultivation.

"Regarding my state, with all 1,296 Acupoint Skills ignited, it’s time I considered making a breakthrough.

However, this kind of thing should align naturally and come to fruition.

I’ve just practiced the Primordial Daoist Method to Perfection; it’s best to consolidate for a while before making the breakthrough, which would be more appropriate."

As Bai Ziyue thought about it, he furrowed his brows.

*Even though he was confident that if he immersed himself deeply, focusing on preparations for the breakthrough, he could surely cross the boundary in three to five months and become a Divine Realm Master.*

Nonetheless, in the cultivation of Immortal Techniques, being overly deliberate would be unappealing.

Moreover, the time required for immediate seclusion and breakthrough was too lengthy.

The Hundred Thousand Mountains were swarming with Demon Beasts and strange, powerful creatures continually emerging—which could trigger unknown mishaps.

He was unwilling to bear such risks.

It was often said that sharpening a knife doesn’t hinder the woodcutting task. In cultivating Immortal Techniques, once accumulated sufficiently, the urge to breakthrough would naturally burst forth.

At that point, he might succeed in crossing the boundary of his state in as little as a day or two, achieving the rank of a Divine Realm Master...

So, he was in no hurry!

"Besides the state, what’s most crucial for me is the cultivation of several Divine Techniques.

The Seven-Colored Tribulation Passage Spirit Light, Small Spirit-Banning Technique, Ten Thousand Flames Melting Furnace, and the Sword Immortal Spell: 23-Layered Tower Sword Qi... once these Divine Spells improve, they will significantly augment and supplement my power."

As Bai Ziyue considered it, his Dao Primordial Power and Divine Sense began to surge immediately.

He started cultivating these Divine Spell Techniques one by one.

...

The following journey, as Huu Dali mentioned, was indeed much safer. Even if unaware Demon Beasts emerged, they were easily dealt with.

Occasionally, a Divine Realm-Level Great Demon appeared, but through its maneuvering, no major battles erupted, allowing them to smoothly pass through.

During Bai Ziyue’s period of deep cultivation, he was surprised to find that his progress in practicing Divine Spell Techniques was far quicker than before.

Many once hard-to-understand technique mysteries now revealed themselves after little contemplation, with a smoother and more composed operation of Divine Techniques during execution.

As such, in a short span, he had trained the Sword Immortal Spell: 23-Layered Tower Sword Qi, to 99% pre-entry level, merely a step away from entry level.

The Seven-Colored Tribulation Passage Spirit Light also made significant progress, escalating to 81% pre-entry level, followed by the Small Spirit-Banning Technique at 68% pre-entry and the Ten Thousand Flames Melting Furnace at 59% pre-entry...

"Perhaps all this is related to the perfection of my Primordial Daoist Method, allowing a transformation of my entire being?"

Bai Ziyue pondered silently, having guessed some underlying reasons.
