Cangling Immortal Clan

During this retreat, Ye Linyuan focused mainly on cultivation, and used the rest of the time to comprehend supernatural powers and nurture spiritual treasures.

And while he was in seclusion, the major forces in the world of immortal cultivation were also digesting their gains and improving their strength and foundation.

About several decades later, the first place to spread the news was the East Desert Dragon Palace.

It is said that the five dragon emperors of the dragon clan joined forces to repair the ancient true dragon pool from ancient times, and then consumed a lot of opportunities to purify their bloodline to break through the realm of the primordial spirit.

With the help of this opportunity, the four-clawed golden dragon transformed into a top-level five-clawed golden dragon, and its cultivation also broke through to the realm of half-step primordial spirit.

As for the other four Dragon Emperors, their bloodlines have also undergone further transformation, and their cultivation has reached the level of half-step soul.

"There are five half-step Yuanshen in the clan, and all of them are top-notch heaven and earth true spirits that have bred a trace of ancestral blood. I'm afraid the dragon clan has already consumed most of its resources."

When Ye Linyuan, who was in seclusion, heard the news, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

These five true dragons are the five-clawed golden dragon of Nanling, the Dragon King of the South China Sea, the yellow dragon of the East Wasteland, the eternal ice dragon of the North Pole, and the green dragon of the East China Sea. Each of them was once an unrivaled giant of the demon clan.

Now that their bloodline has advanced further and awakened a trace of the ancestor's bloodline, their strength is probably close to that of the Heavenly Demon Saint Emperor.

As far as Ye Linyuan knew, the sources of these five ancestral bloodlines were all the famous Lianxu Dragon King in ancient times. Even if only a trace of the ancestral bloodline was awakened, it represented extraordinary potential and qualifications.

Ye Linyuan couldn't help but sigh that the dragon clan was indeed one of the most powerful spiritual clans in ancient times.

The Immortal Golden Ape had been in existence for a full thousand years, and it was with his help that it barely got the chance to awaken the bloodline of its ancestor. However, the Dragon Clan was able to give birth to five such beings at once.

In addition to the dragon clan, other major forces have also made significant improvements. After digesting the opportunities in the Jiexu forbidden land, the Haotian Ancient Realm has promoted many half-step souls one after another.

However, I have never heard of anyone who can break through to the pseudo-Lord level immediately.

After all, the Earth Soul Pill needed to break through the Pseudo Heavenly Monarch level is difficult to refine, and breaking through the Pseudo Heavenly Monarch is not something that can be easily achieved.

As half-step souls continued to appear in the outside world, Ye Linyuan's cultivation had gradually become perfect.

It was at the age of 2,130 that Ye Linyuan's magical powers were completely perfected and his foundation reached perfection.

"More than 133,000 cycles of mana."

On this day, Ye Linyuan opened his eyes from seclusion, slowly sensed the magic power in his body, and couldn't help but take a deep breath.

The mana of a Nascent Soul cultivator is counted in cycles, and the mana of one cycle is equivalent to the total basic mana of a Golden Core Great Perfection cultivator.

For a cultivator who has reached the great perfection of the Nascent Soul stage, the basic magic power is exactly three hundred and sixty-five cycles.

Ye Linyuan's mana of more than 130,000 cycles is about 300 times the basic mana of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Of course, basic mana is only the minimum limit of a cultivator's mana. Cultivators will improve the thickness of their mana through exercises and various channels.

The supreme giants who have reached the level of Yuanying Great Perfection basically practice the top-level peerless martial arts. Even the Fire Sea Golden Lotus Skill with relatively weak magic power can make up for some shortcomings of insufficient magic power.

Therefore, Ye Xuqiu also has more than a thousand Zhoutian's worth of mana, some folk cultivators often have more than three thousand Zhoutian's worth of mana, and water sword immortals like Shui Hanqing have nearly ten thousand Zhoutian's worth of mana.

In this way, Ye Linyuan's upper limit of mana is approximately equivalent to a hundred times that of an ordinary gold and fire cultivator, thirty times that of an earth cultivator, and about ten times that of a water cultivator who has reached the great perfection of the Nascent Soul stage.

The basic magic power of three hundred times the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul is dozens or even hundreds of times the magic power of ordinary supreme giants.

The improvement brought about is very huge, making Ye Linyuan almost invincible in combat power at the same level.

In contrast, the top-grade spiritual fields in the Xuanyuan Taoist Palace within Ye Linyuan's dantian also exceeded 300 acres. Together with the spiritual fields in Yuanyue Cave Heaven and the major spiritual veins Taoist temples, Ye Linyuan already had control over 400 acres of top-grade spiritual fields.

Four hundred acres of top-grade spiritual fields, coupled with Ye Linyuan's fifth-level intermediate spiritual planting skills, combined together produce terrifying resources.

Today, Ye Linyuan can produce seven or eight fourth-tier rare spiritual plants almost every hundred years, and he has more than one furnace of the main ingredients for the Soul-Life Pill.

With such a huge output of resources, the amount of resources produced by the Ye family even exceeds the sum of all the major forces in the entire Nanling cultivation world.

Even if we add in the Yuanshen Taoist sects such as the Tianjian Ye family and the Xuanyang Dongtian, the resources they continuously produce are probably far less than Ye Linyuan.

After all, even if the major forces have top-quality spiritual fields, it is impossible for them to have a fifth-level mid-quality spiritual plant husband to take care of them continuously, and even a fourth-level super-quality spiritual plant husband may not be available.

After all, people like this don't have much time left, and it's impossible for them to come out of seclusion at any time to take care of the elixir.

The importance of a fifth-level spiritual plant husband with sufficient lifespan is naturally self-evident.

Of course, compared to the perfection of cultivation and the increase of spiritual fields, the most crucial thing is that after the perfection of cultivation this time, Ye Linyuan can finally try to break through the realm of half-step soul.

"My cultivation is now complete, and it's time to prepare for a breakthrough."

Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, then slowly walked out of the retreat room.

After reaching the Nascent Soul stage, the key to further breaking through to the Half-Step Soul stage lies in whether one can awaken one's own soul on time.

However, awakening the soul is extremely difficult. The key lies in the rare soul pill that can awaken the soul, and use it as a guide to awaken the soul's power from the inside out.

In addition, the cultivator's mana, soul strength, and pure yang magical powers are also the key to whether or not the soul can be awakened.

If the magic power is strong enough, you don’t have to worry about insufficient mana when awakening the soul. You can even consume the source of mana to nourish the soul and increase the success rate of awakening the soul.

Cultivators with exceptionally strong souls can also increase the success rate of awakening their souls.

As for the Pure Yang magical power, this magical power contains a trace of Pure Yang Taoism, which can somehow increase the success rate of cultivating the soul a little bit.

Ye Linyuan has completely met these three conditions, and they are far beyond the standards for awakening the soul.

Taking mana strength as an example, Ye Linyuan's mana strength of three hundred times can allow him to awaken his soul without any worries, and at least increase the probability of awakening his soul by one or two percent.

Soul strength is also Ye Linyuan's strong point. The Dao Yun Visualization Method he practices can nourish the soul with the help of supernatural powers. The more and more powerful the supernatural powers are, the stronger the blessing of the Dao Yun Visualization Method will be.

Now Ye Linyuan has mastered no less than tens of thousands of magical powers, including the Rising Moon from the Sea, the Wanhua Sword Technique, the Black Turtle's Breath-Concealing Technique, the Soul-Nourishing Technique, the Spirit Rain Technique, the Ripening Technique, and nearly ten other pure yang magical powers.

With so many magical powers, the Dao Yun visualization method has been pushed to an unprecedented level, and the effect is almost a hundred times more than the top visualization method of the same level.

Ye Linyuan took this opportunity to increase the strength of his soul to dozens of times that of an ordinary Nascent Soul Great Perfection, which is considered a miracle in the world of immortal cultivation.

After all, improving the strength of the soul is often more difficult than improving magic power.

There is no need to say much about the final blessing of the Pure Yang magical power. With the blessing of so many Pure Yang magical powers, Ye Linyuan's breakthrough to the Half-Step Soul was almost a natural thing.

"The foundation is already established, and a breakthrough can be made at any time." "The next step is to refine the Soul Pill."

After looking around at his own foundation, Ye Linyuan spoke calmly.

Afterwards, he came to the Nanling Immortal Cultivation World and stepped into the underground fire veins of the Red Dragon Mountain.

After more than a thousand years of cultivation by Ao Xuan, the underground fire veins of Chilong Mountain have been promoted to the fourth-grade upper grade. With the blessing of the fourth-grade upper grade formation, it can already emit fourth-grade rare level spiritual fire.

Although the fire veins at this level are not good enough, it is still enough to refine the Life Soul Pill. After all, the difficulty of refining the Life Soul Pill is the lowest among the three soul pills.

After preparing the place for refining, Ye Linyuan immediately started to refine the Soul Pill.

With the experience of assisting in refining the Soul Pill last time, Ye Linyuan was able to refine the Soul Pill quite smoothly this time.

After about a few months, he successfully refined this furnace of Soul-Life Pills, and he made as many as two pills in one furnace.

This was because it was Ye Linyuan’s first time refining the Soul Pill, otherwise he would be confident that he could refine three Soul Pills.

"Two Soul Pills are enough."

Ye Linyuan withdrew his thoughts, then went straight back to the Cangling Sea and began to meditate in order to break through to the Half-Step Soul realm.

Because there is no existence that can threaten Ye Linyuan in the Cangling Sea, Ye Linyuan is not worried about being ambushed this time.

He simply asked Shui Hanqing and others to protect him personally, while he took the Soul Pill and began to strive to reach the Half-Step Soul realm.

As Ye Linyuan took the Soul Pill, his soul suddenly underwent a slight change.

The soul represents the true self, which is actually Ye Linyuan's Nascent Soul. If you want to awaken the real soul, it is essentially to make the Nascent Soul undergo the ultimate transformation, which must be accomplished from the inside out.

Seeing that the power of the soul had begun to awaken, Ye Linyuan immediately and decisively burned the source of his magic power, and then mobilized his supernatural power to draw the pure Yang Tao essence to bless his Nascent Soul.

In just a moment, Ye Linyuan's Nascent Soul underwent a change, and a trace of transcendent pure yang power was slowly nurtured within it.

At this point, the awakening of the soul has actually been initially completed, and the next step is the process of the pure yang power completely infecting the Nascent Soul.

This process was not long. After about half a year, Ye Linyuan's Nascent Soul had completely completed its transformation and turned into a soul containing pure yang power.

"Half-step to the realm of the primordial spirit, accomplished!"

Ye Linyuan whispered slowly, and couldn't help but smile.

The so-called Nascent Soul transformation into a spirit is itself the process of the fetus growing into an adult.

The Nascent Soul is like a fetus in the womb. It does not have the ability to stay out of the body for a long time and can only barely survive by relying on the physical body.

The primordial spirit is like a child that has just been conceived and will then have the ability to separate from the physical body and live between heaven and earth. Therefore, for the primordial spirit, the physical body is something that must be abandoned at the right time.

In fact, after the Yuanshen, there are two paths for cultivators to take. The first is to travel through the universe and the second is to practice both body and technique.

People who travel between heaven and earth in spirit believe that the physical body is a burden. Once they abandon the physical body, they will be able to have dozens of times the escape speed and life-saving ability, and the combat power of their soul will not be greatly reduced.

In the ancient times, most of the independent cultivators who abandoned their physical bodies and ascended to the immortal world took the path of wandering in the universe.

Those who practice both physical and technical skills seek to break through the realm of refining emptiness, because only those with intact physical bodies can break through the realm of refining emptiness in the human world.

In ancient times, because one could ascend to the fairyland, traveling between heaven and earth was the mainstream way of cultivating immortals.

After the ancient times, the earth and the sky were connected, and it was no longer possible for the human soul to ascend to the fairyland, so the soul cultivators who could break through the realm of refining emptiness became the mainstream.

Let's get back to the point. No matter which path a cultivator takes, being able to successfully transform his Nascent Soul into his Primordial Spirit is the most crucial step.

The so-called half-step soul refers to the process of the Nascent Soul transforming into a spirit. The Nascent Soul after the soul awakens can no longer be considered a Nascent Soul.

Because the soul has initially possessed a trace of divinity, it has already embarked on the path of cultivating the primordial spirit, so it is called the state of half-step primordial spirit.

Ye Linyuan, who had cultivated to the state of half-step soul, did not feel much improvement in his magic power, but he could clearly feel that the quality of his magic power had undergone a qualitative change.

A trace of pure yang energy infected Ye Linyuan's magic power, causing a qualitative change in his magic power, which increased by about twice as much as before.

Relying on the blessing of this magical power containing pure Yang Taoism, Ye Linyuan's power of supernatural powers and spells has also been qualitatively improved.

According to Ye Linyuan's estimation, his current self could at least fight three people at once compared to his self before the breakthrough.

"My current strength is probably comparable to the newly promoted Yuanshen Tianjun of this era, or the top Yuanshen early stage in ancient times."

Ye Linyuan slowly activated the Wanhua Sword Soul and a smile appeared on his face.

The improvement in the quality of his mana allows him to further unleash the power of the Wanhua Sword Soul. Once he deploys the Wanhua Sword Domain, he will have a certain degree of self-protection ability even if he breaks into forbidden areas such as the Falling Dragon's Nest.

After all, the price for those old monsters in the late stage of Yuanshen to be born is too high. Swallowing him is simply a drop in the bucket. There is no need to pay attention to him who has the combat power of the early stage of Yuanshen.

As for the old monster in the early or middle stage of the Yuanshen, he must have been extremely weak after sleeping for so many years, and there is no ability to kill him at all. There is even a possibility that he may kill him in return.

"I have already broken through, but in order to ensure a solid foundation, I will need more than a hundred years to consolidate my cultivation."

"The matter of breaking through the pseudo-Heavenly Monarch can be put aside for now. Next, I will go to participate in the East Wilderness Cultivation World's Exchange Conference."

After finishing his retreat, Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, then walked out of the retreat room.

At this time, outside the retreat room, the Ye family heroes had been waiting for a long time, and they all smiled when they saw him come out.

"Congratulations, clan leader, for breaking through to the half-step soul realm."

"The clan leader has broken through the half-step Yuanshen. I am afraid that my Ye clan is qualified to compete for the first immortal clan in the Haotian Ancient Realm."

Everyone was talking about it, and each of them showed a look of surprise.

Ye Linyuan smiled slightly, just looked at Ye Xuqiu and said: "I think your foundation is solid, it's time to strive for the half-step soul."

"Take this Soul Pill first and break through as soon as possible."

Ye Xuqiu took the Soul Pill and couldn't help but smile.

After a series of opportunities, he has already comprehended two pure yang magical powers. With such a foundation, breaking through the half-step Yuanshen realm is just a matter of course. (End of this chapter)
