Primordial Era: I, Yuan Hong, am solely focused on stability; humanity remains clear-headed

Chapter 257: Breakthrough Begins, Devouring Spiritual Energy!

Perhaps Jiang Chen lacks intelligence and clear consciousness, but as an alternative being, it naturally possesses its own unique consciousness origin space, only that the interior is chaotic and cannot be controlled by cultivators.

This situation is similar to that of the previous cosmic behemoth.

As the owner of the Heaven-Suppressing Coffin, Yuan Hong immediately sensed that strange forces were emanating from the coffin and were being continuously applied to Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen was completely unaware of this, perhaps because he lacked strength, or perhaps because he lacked intelligence, or perhaps both.

"Is this the mark that the Heaven-Suppressing Coffin has been constantly imprinting on Jiang Chen? I wonder what it can do..."

Yuan Hong seemed to understand something, and various guesses arose in his mind, but he did not draw a conclusion.

At that moment, he recalled the system's description of the Heavenly Coffin's abilities.

Once a Heavenly Dao Saint is suppressed for forty-nine days, their connection with the power of the Heavenly Dao can be completely severed, and they can be permanently sealed inside!

As for its specific mechanism, Yuan Hong is still unclear about what it is; this requires practical experience.

The marks being continuously applied to Jiang Chen's body seem to be the gradual effect of the Heaven-Suppressing Coffin...

Yuan Hong, who hadn't paid much attention at first, immediately became interested and decided to use Jiang Chen as a guinea pig to conduct an experiment and see what would happen.

"It would be a shame if he didn't die suddenly on the spot after forty-nine days. But that's unlikely, it's not like the style of the Heaven-Suppressing Coffin..."

Yuan Hong looked at Jiang Chen and thought to himself.

He could have used the treasure of killing to kill Jiang Chen, but he felt it was a pity, so he spared his life.

It seems unlikely that the Heavenly Coffin's ability will cause the creatures inside to die a slow death. While that would still be powerful enough, it would be somewhat absurd.

After all, if they're going to lock them up, it's unlikely they're going to kill them.

Regardless, Yuan Hong still needs to be observed.

"Let's see how things go in forty-nine days. Anyway, everything is stable."

After giving Jiang Chen a deep look, Yuan Hong's avatar gradually dissipated, and his mind returned to his true self.

Forty-nine days is not a long time for a great cultivator, but he was unwilling to waste it, especially during this great calamity. He should seize the time, not to mention racing against time, but at least not to be idle here.

You see, he's not idle right now; he's at a crucial moment in his breakthrough.

"This ancient star is also one of the 365 main constellations. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is still very rich here. Let's break through here."

Yuan Hong opened his eyes, looked at the empty valley around him, took a deep breath, and prepared to break through and advance on the spot.

With the quasi-saint level of law realm as a guide, it is easy to break through to the primordial spirit cultivation level, and the required spiritual energy resources will be greatly reduced, which is a difference from the physical body advancement.

After all, apart from a very few special beings, for the vast majority of cultivators, the primordial spirit is the foundation of cultivation and enlightenment, and is closer to the laws of the Great Dao; the physical body is merely a shell.

The higher one's primordial spirit realm, the stronger one's ability and comprehension of the Dao, and vice versa.

Once one has an epiphany about the Law of Luck and rises to a higher realm ahead of time, it can also guide the cultivation of one's primordial spirit to rapidly improve.

This is the relationship between a cultivator's realm and cultivation level. The two are not rigidly bound, but they are interconnected and constantly influence each other.

Therefore, Yuan Hong, whose laws have already been advanced, can now break through to the Nascent Soul stage without needing a large amount of high-level resources.

Of course, resources are also essential, but as long as you choose a place with abundant spiritual energy, cultivate for a while, and with the help of some resources, you can break through smoothly.

The star beneath Yuan Hong's feet was a treasure trove for cultivation, with its 365 constellations, no less impressive than ordinary blessed lands, and filled with a vast amount of stellar essence.

Moreover, it should be noted that there used to be a Star Fruit Tree on this star. Over the years, it had accumulated extremely abundant spiritual energy, which enveloped the surface of this star.

It won't dissipate anytime soon.

Therefore, this place is already quite good for Yuan Hong, and he doesn't need to specifically look for a special place to cultivate and break through.

He closed his eyes and sat cross-legged, calming his mind and focusing his spirit. His breathing gradually subsided, like an old monk entering meditation, his body turning into a stubborn stone.

Within its primordial spirit, a mysterious and inexplicable change was quietly taking place.

The Nine Revolutions Yuan Technique had already begun to operate instinctively. Under the guidance of nearly 70% of the Law of Battle, it flowed continuously and rapidly into the primordial spirit, tempering it.

Before long, Yuan Hong's aura was released again, showing an upward trend, and began to rise slowly but steadily.

His primordial spirit cultivation has begun to break through its limits little by little, and is moving towards a higher realm.

The essence of the primordial spirit is gradually increasing in quantity, in order to reach the moment of qualitative change, so that the cultivation method and the primordial spirit can be transformed to adapt to the laws of a higher realm.

Correspondingly, there is a rapid depletion of magical power. Even the immense magical power of a fully-fledged Fifth-Rank Yuan Gong cultivator cannot sustain this depletion for long.

"boom!!"

At this moment, with the operation of the Nine Revolutions Yuan Gong, Yuan Hong began to devour the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth like a Kunpeng!

In fact, to ensure efficiency, he even used the "Nine Breaths Breath Absorption" great supernatural power, which allowed him to successfully capture more spiritual energy, incorporate it into his body, and transform it into magical power!

The cultivation technique used during a breakthrough, combined with this powerful divine ability specifically designed to absorb spiritual energy, produced an effect that was truly terrifying.

Yuan Hong was like a giant black hole, the surrounding void even slightly distorted, appearing somewhat bizarre and fantastical, rapidly capturing and absorbing the boundless spiritual energy in the vast area.

Even his appearance was no longer discernible on his body, not even human form, because he had absorbed the starlight as well, and no form of spiritual energy could escape!

Wow!!!

A billion miles, a hundred billion miles, a trillion miles, a hundred trillion miles away...

The entire surface of the ancient star, and even the outer space of the star, were affected by Yuan Hong. Countless spiritual energies were captured by him and began to flow rapidly toward his location.

Given Yuan Hong's magical power and the complete foundation of his Nine Revolutions Yuan Gong cultivation, how much spiritual energy would he need to advance from the Great Luo Perfection to Quasi-Saint?

It should be noted that when he advanced in his cultivation before, he relied on various precious resources for the vast majority of his advancements.

Even when taking the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir, he treated it like candy, taking tens of thousands of doses each time!

Such a vast amount of resources, once fully transformed into the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, would be an immense quantity.
