Emperor Luan laughed heartily, his eyes twinkling as he looked at Phoenix Chao Fei.
He said five times based on fact, but that Phoenix was taking things for granted.
To take off three times, even he had not accomplished that back in the day, having fallen eight times before he could finally take flight!
Su He lay within the clouds, eyes closed, recalling the recent sprint.
Flying under the oppressive Gang Wind wasn’t something that could be achieved through brute force or Divine Skills—it was something else!
The Gang Wind could not be removed or dispersed; it was truly troublesome.
He emerged from the clouds, looking up at the sky once more.
Below him, the clouds turned gently, lifting him slowly upward.
This time, Su He ascended so gradually it was almost imperceptible.
But barely had he risen a fraction, just as the clouds underneath him began to leave the mountain’s surface, the Gang Wind bore down upon him.
This Gang Wind was not only related to one’s Boundary Status but also to the number of people entering the Fairy Ascension Platform; as more and more people entered, the power of the Gang Wind grew increasingly fierce.
But as he flew up, with the appearance of the Gang Wind, the Ancient Qi also manifested once again.
It wasn’t that there was no Ancient Qi on the mountain, but that it could only be perceived when the Gang Wind made itself known.
The Spiritual Energy was related to the Gang Wind!
If that was the case…
Su He fell silent for a moment, then raised his head and practiced the Dragon Turtle Breathing Technique, as the Spiritual Energy of the four directions gently entered his body.
Different from the Spiritual Energy he took in before, this time, although the Yuan Qi he absorbed was not much, the quality was terrifyingly high—not just in quality, but this was no longer the same kind of energy as the Spiritual Energy, it seemed even more ancient and wild.
Once inside his body, it behaved like little bombs, rampaging back and forth, with explosive collisions upon impact.
A peculiar idea rose from the depths of Su He’s heart—could it be that the ancients had opened the Fairy Sect by using this Yuan Qi to blast it open?
With such Yuan Qi, only he, being a Dragon Turtle, could endure its entry into the body.
An ordinary Cultivator would get injured by the Yuan Qi before even beginning to cultivate.
Simply drawing in Yuan Qi was not correct.
Gang Wind!
Su He immediately thought of it, inhaled gently towards the Gang Wind, and as the Gang Wind mixed with the Yuan Qi entered his body, this time the Yuan Qi was no longer so fierce, becoming more temperate.
The Gang Wind was like clear water, gently delivering the Yuan Qi into his body.
An inexplicable feeling rose from the depths of Su He’s heart—weaker!
This ancient Yuan Qi was weakened!
Compared with the Ancient Qi, it was much more diluted!
Not just diluted, but many of its components were completely different.
The Cultivation World’s division of time was not uniform, but generally, the period of the Heavenly Court was referred to as the Legendary or Mythical Period.
From the fall of the Heavenly Court to the dominance of the Mystery Yellow Big World over the All Heavens and Myriad Realms, it was known as the Ancient times.
From the rise of the Seal Emperor to the shattering of the Mystery Yellow Big World, that era was known as the Mystery Huang World, referred to as the period of remote antiquity.
After the Mystery Yellow Big World was renamed the Mystery Huang World, it became the modern era, although some also refer to the period of struggle between the Seal Emperor and the Mystery Yellow as ancient times, with what followed being the modern age.
The period of remote antiquity followed ancient times.
The aura of the ancient Yuan Qi, compared with the Qi that Su He breathed during the ancient times, was much weaker!
This was not the focus for the time being; having absorbed both the Gang Wind and Yuan Qi, Su He still couldn’t fly too high—only about thirty-odd yards at most, just enough to hover here and establish a balance, neither rising nor falling!
Although he was far from having reached the Sixth Layer, he had a bit of a method now!
But it still wasn’t enough!
Drawing in both Gang Wind and Yuan Qi could offset the force and suppression of the Gang Wind.
As long as he absorbed fast enough, he could break through the Seventh Layer and enter the Sixth Layer.
Realizing this was worthless!
The only problem was, how could he absorb more quickly?
Su He was currently using the Dragon Turtle Breathing Technique, which was basically suited to his own Boundary Status.
Any faster, and he’d be over-doing it.
In other words, he needed the Boundary Status of Stepping Sky’s First Step but needed an absorbing speed that matched that of Stepping Sky’s Second Step to have a chance to break through this layer.
It might be alright to go from the Seventh Layer to the Sixth Layer, but what about from the Second Layer to the First Layer?
To achieve the absorbing speed of Stepping Sky Seven-fold while only at Stepping Sky First-fold?
This was simply impossible!
Not just for Su He, but for anyone!
Su He looked up, his gaze filled with silent reproach towards the esteemed uncles of his clan above.
If they could ascend, then there must surely be a suitable method.
Wouldn’t it be nice to pass down a technique?
As if aware of his thoughts, Gu Luo sent down a psychic message: “Don’t look for shortcuts!
So many people in the All Heavens and Myriad Realms are trapped here, don’t you think they want to find a shortcut?
You can only figure out your own way up.
If I were to give you a method, you’d be thrown out of the Fairy Ascension Platform in an instant, and you wouldn’t be allowed into the Fairy Ascension Platform for ten whole trips to the Mystery Yellow Cave Heaven!”
Su He: “…”
He stopped talking and ran his Breathing Technique to its limit, instantly increasing his breathing speed.
Above the Nine Heavens, people laughed, and Ancient Locust’s eyes sparkled with light: “He’s found a way.”
Phoenix Chao Fei glanced down disdainfully, “Far from enough!”
Finding the key to breaking through wasn’t hard, nor was accelerating the absorption.
But how to refine what was absorbed, which far exceeded one’s limits, was the real test of enlightenment.
Otherwise, absorbing several times more than one could handle and then being unable to refine it would reach a limit within half an hour.
Unable to accelerate absorption anymore, one would be smashed by the Gang Wind and fall from the upper layer—and that would truly be embarrassing!
Understood!
Su He nodded.
Although he rarely used the method of absorbing Yuan Qi for cultivation since achieving the form of the Dragon Turtle, it didn’t mean he was incapable!
Especially after embarking on the Way of the Xuanwu, he placed even greater emphasis on the traditional methods of cultivation.
Su He opened his mouth as if a whale taking in water, drawing in the Yuan Qi from all around and the Gang Wind above him in an instant, making the Gang Wind above become weak.
Without the need for Su He to control the clouds, the clouds already carried him upwards and in a blink, he broke through the Seventh Layer and entered into the Sixth Layer.
The speed of ascent also slowed down.
Above the Nine Heavens.
Everyone watched with interest, as Phoenix Chao Fei had said, it was easy to rush up in one go, but the real challenge was to stay in the layer above.
How to refine the Yuan Qi that exceeded one’s limits was the true test of one’s insight.
