Chapter 1354: Chapter 1452: Not Entering Spirit Source Chapter 1354: Chapter 1452: Not Entering Spirit Source Inside the Supre Saint Hall, Fang Lin sat cross-legged with a Pill Furnace placed before him.
This Pill Furnace was not the regular Nine Treasure Luminous Cauldron that Fang Lin often used, but it was still a superior treasure cauldron that many Pill Refiners would find intriguing if placed outside.
However, Fang Lin was not intending to use this Pill Furnace for refining pills, but to devour it in order to cultivate the Nine Cauldron Skypassing Spell.
At this mont, Fang Lin was at the Ninth Layer of the Spirit Bone stage, just one step away from reaching the Spirit Source. This step seed close but was, in reality, far from simple.
For ninety-nine percent of Martial Artists, this step was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
Even many geniuses, who at first progressed rapidly in their cultivation and swiftly reached the Spirit Bone stage, encountered bottlenecks when breaking through to the Spirit Source and got stuck for decades or even tens of years.
The transformation of Inner Strength into Spirit Source was a fascinating process, and the birth of Spirit Source also ca with a further tamorphosis of the physical body.
The most distinct feature of Spirit Bone practitioners was their formidable physical bodies, possessing great self-healing abilities.
However, practitioners with Spirit Source had an even greater difference in their physical bodies beyond just the gap between Inner Strength and Spirit Source.
For example, regenerating limbs was sothing incredibly difficult for Spirit Bone practitioners, unless they possessed a very special constitution enabling them to barely achieve it.
But for Spirit Source Martial Artists, as long as the Spirit Source remained undestroyed, they could regenerate limbs by consuming their Spirit Source.
Provided their cultivation was sufficient and their Spirit Source abundant, even if their bodies were sliced in half, they could recover, at most suffering a great loss of vital energy.
Of course, it also depended on which half was severed—if they were split from head to toe, splitting the head in two as well, that would indeed be a fatal wound, too severe even for abundant Spirit Source to overco.
Injuries like severed hands or feet were virtually trivial for soone with Spirit Source.
Furthermore, Spirit Source Martial Artists typically had lifespans nearing ten thousand years. As long as they hadn’t sustained serious injuries or done anything to reduce their lifespan, living for ten thousand years quite stably was not a big problem.
However, very few Spirit Source Martial Artists actually lived for ten thousand years.
So didn’t even reach five thousand years before they perished early on.
This was a common occurrence, largely due to human greed.
Once they stepped into the realm of Spirit Source and possessed long lifespans, their desire for longevity only intensified the longer they lived.
There are indeed those who disregard life and death and do not care about the length of their lifespan, but the vast majority cannot achieve this.
Even those ordinary people who do not practice cultivation know the truth of growing older and more fearful of death.
For Spirit Source Martial Artists, who had long lifespans, superior strength, and a transcendent status, they relished all these and could scarcely bear to let go.
Once a person dies, everything is lost.
Therefore, most Spirit Source practitioners pursued higher realms, seeking more longevity.
However, advancing beyond the Spirit Source stage to join the ranks of the Long-lived Ones was nearly an impossible task.
In pursuit of immortality, Spirit Source Martial Artists searched for extraordinary natural treasures and stole magical pills from others, leading to incessant conflicts that were even more dangerous than those among lower-tier Martial Artists.
There were even frequent incidents of Spirit Source Martial Artists killing another of their kind to seize all of their Spirit Source.
Since Spirit Sources were compatible and could be refined and absorbed, weaker Spirit Source Martial Artists often fell victim to stronger ones, having their Spirit Source completely drained away.
Those who stood at the pinnacle of Spirit Source, which one has not absorbed the spirit source from others?
The competition and survival between Spirit Source Martial Artists vividly exemplified the law of the survival of the fittest.
There were too many competitions and plunderings, hence most Spirit Source Martial Artists perished early, leaving only the truly ruthless and incredibly fortunate ones to survive longer and pursue higher realms.
In Fang Lin’s previous life, Spirit Source Martial Artists could be found everywhere, but only a few among them stood out.
The Long-lived Ones were not so easily achieved.
Right now, Fang Lin was still far from becoming a Long-lived One, not even having entered the Spirit Source realm, but in his previous life, he had stood at the peak. Even if he was not the best in the world, he was definitely a top-notch expert.
Fang Lin was very clear about the cruelty of the Spirit Source realm, and now, with the great war between the Nine Countries and the Seven Seas erupting, once he entered the Spirit Source, he would most likely be directly involved.
The Spirit Source realm, already considered strong in this era, especially soone talented like Fang Lin who achieved Spirit Source at such a young age, had a brighter prospect than ordinary Spirit Source Martial Artists.
According to Fang Lin’s original plan, there was no rush to step into the Spirit Source; he could definitely delay to accumulate more.
However, Fang Lin had underestimated the improvent of his strength, plus the increasingly strong opponents he had to face, made the Ninth Layer of Spirit Bone realm far from satisfactory anymore.
Devouring the treasure cauldron to improve his realm was much more efficient than regular cultivation.
He saw the Cauldron Qi within the treasure cauldron being continuously devoured and absorbed by him. As the Cauldron Qi increntally entered his body, Fang Lin’s realm was also constantly upgrading.
The Cauldron Qi from a treasure cauldron was imnse, but now that Fang Lin’s realm was strong and the Nine Cauldron Skypassing Spell operated with amazing power, the absorption rate was extrely fast.
Three days later, the treasure cauldron’s Cauldron Qi had been completely absorbed by Fang Lin.
The treasure cauldron turned into a useless cauldron, covered in cracks as if it would completely shatter with just a touch.
Fang Lin hadn’t been able to break through to the Spirit Source realm, and was at the pinnacle of the Ninth Layer of Spirit Bone, just half a step away from the Spirit Source.
This was roughly equivalent to the realms of Yin Wuyan and Qin Guanyue.
“Do you want to push through to the Spirit Source in one go?” the Old Dried Corpse spoke.
Fang Lin pondered for a mont and said, “I am confident about directly stepping into the Spirit Source, but is it appropriate now?”
“There isn’t really an appropriate or inappropriate ti; it all depends on what you think. There isn’t much difference between doing it sooner or later,” the Old Dried Corpse said.
Fang Lin shook his head, “If I enter the Spirit Source later, I can have more accumulations. Through gaining montum gradually, my strength can be increased further. If I step into the Spirit Source now, I may not be able to reach the peak level of strength.”
“Then according to what you’ve said, delay entering the Spirit Source,” the Old Dried Corpse said.
Fang Lin was slightly conflicted and contemplated for a long while, but eventually, he stopped cultivating.
“Let’s delay it a bit longer; if it really doesn’t work out, I’ll step into the Spirit Source without urgency,” Fang Lin said.
Boom~~
A loud noise ca, and Fang Lin moved swiftly, appearing in the main hall just in ti to see a Demon Puppet shattering the dark protection around Qin Guanyue.
Qin Guanyue looked pale, with a hint of despair in her eyes.
“Heh heh, Qin, you are definitely dood now,” Fang Lin said with a fierce smile as he approached.
