Chapter 325 - 324: The Realm Above Xuandan

Chapter 325: Chapter 324: The Realm Above Xuandan

The two of them stepped onto the stairway and reached the fourth layer.

Looking around, the entire fourth layer resembled a dense collection of boxes, arranged in rows and columns.

“Senior Brother, doesn’t it feel cramped? When I first boarded the ship, I even thought these were coffins,” Long Zhao joked.

“If you die on the way, they really are no different from coffins.”

Zhong Lin didn’t shy away, instead agreeing with Long Zhao’s perspective.

After reaching the fourth layer, the passageway branched into four directions, marked with A, B, C, and D.

Even though the entire layer was sealed, the passageway was well-lit, even brighter than the outside.

Zhong Lin looked up and around, noticing a type of lighting fixture hanging from the passageway ceiling, resembling Luminous Pearls. They were inlaid in clusters, and at a glance, the top appeared like a magnificent starry sky.

Although Luminous Pearls might be valuable on the Xuan Gui Continent, they were as common as sand in the Luoxing Islands, with so many of them at the bottom of the sea.

“Come on, Senior Brother, you’re number B15, and I’m B16. Each room is self-contained, meeting all of the resident’s basic needs, including food, bathing, and toilet facilities.”

Long Zhao shook the key in his hand, which was engraved with “B16”.

The key in Zhong Lin’s hand was marked with “B15”.

They found their rooms, unlocked the doors, and walked inside.

Sure enough, it was a suite, spacious with ample area, having everything one might need.

Zhong Lin nodded quietly to himself, thinking that the ship’s ticket, costing ten thousand Spirit Stones, was quite worth it. Long Zhao had mentioned that the lower deck where the miscellaneous workers lived didn’t even have rooms, just hammocks, where hundreds or thousands of people ate, drank, and relieved themselves, truly a harsh environment.

After brushing off the dust from his clothes, Zhong Lin sat cross-legged on the bed, took out a Nourishing God Pill, swallowed it, and began cultivating.

Over the past year, Zhong Lin had never been lazy in his cultivation. Nourishing God Pills were abundantly available, and his cultivation had soared. Now he was nearly at the mid-level Perfection of the Yunling Realm. His Divine Soul was already six inches and eight-tenths; with more effort, it should reach seven inches.

“According to Long Zhao, disciples of the Holy Land have cultivation methods at the Yunling Realm. They can rapidly improve their cultivation through Visualization Maps, especially when combined with elixirs, leading to remarkable advancement. Moreover, some advanced Visualization Maps can even imbue the Divine Soul with certain powers.”

Zhong Lin felt a sense of regret, as Long Zhao, before leaving his master, was only at the Spirit Sea Realm and hadn’t condensed a Spiritual Body. Naturally, he didn’t have the inherited “Visualization Map.” Chen Jia’s memories didn’t have such things either, so he could only improve his Divine Soul the hard way, bit by bit.

The speed was slow, not to mention the fact that he couldn’t take too many pills, needing to wait for the medicinal toxins to dissipate before swallowing the next one.

Zhong Lin had considered creating his own Visualization Map using methods from his past life and then using the System Panel to enhance it.

Unfortunately, he never found the right method, and no skill was formed on the System Panel, so he couldn’t enhance anything using Skill Points.

Toot! Toot!

Zhong Lin was startled awake by a long, melodious horn, and the ship began to sway.

The giant ship was setting sail.

Through the window, one could see that the ship was surrounded on all sides by a Guardian Fleet, escorting it into the sea.

The fleet’s role was twofold: warding off sea beasts and also transporting goods from the New Moon Island on the return journey.

Zhong Lin gazed afar, quietly watching the endless ocean and the increasingly distant islands behind, a sense of anticipation rising in his heart.

It was reminiscent of the time he left the Xuan Gui Continent for the Luoxing Islands, filled with hope for the future and an anxiety about the unknown.

“According to novels from my past life, I’m switching maps!”

Zhong Lin couldn’t help but let a faint smile appear at the corner of his lips.

The Xuan Gui Continent could be regarded as the beginner village, while the Luoxing Islands were the first-level map, and the upcoming New Moon Island would be a second-level map.

“Just like playing a game, tsk tsk.”

Zhong Lin secretly complained, then returned to the bed and continued cultivating.

No matter the level of the map, strength is always fundamental.

The near-sea region was calm, everything on the ship proceeded methodically, and the sky gradually darkened.

With a knock on the door, Long Zhao entered Zhong Lin’s room.

“Senior Brother, how do you feel?”

“Not bad.”

Long Zhao plopped down across from Zhong Lin, took out a tea set from his Storage Bracelet, and began brewing tea. Before long, a cup of aromatic tea was pushed in front of Zhong Lin.

Zhong Lin didn’t hesitate, lifting the tea cup to take a gentle sip.

“Not bad, your tea-making skill is getting better. I didn’t expect someone as burly as you to have such a delicate touch.”

“Hehe, my master used to like tea, so I picked it up over time. Besides, the ship will be sailing for half a year. Apart from daily cultivation, I can spare some time to practice this,” Long Zhao chuckled.

“Half a year?”

“Yes, that’s considered fast. Without a Transmission Array, it’s the only way to New Moon Island, unless you can condense a Xuandan, then you’d have the ability to fly across the sea.”

“A Xuandan, huh? Soon.”

“Of course, with your Sixth Grade alchemy skills, even without entering the Xuanling Secret Realm, you’ll quickly gather all the materials for refining the Gathering Top Pill. Once you have that, breaking through to the Xuandan Realm will be within reach.”

Long Zhao’s face was full of excitement. He had always thought his senior brother was just extraordinarily talented, not expecting him to be an alchemy prodigy as well.

A Sixth Grade Alchemist was a remarkable figure even on New Moon Island, making money at a speed that almost seemed like robbery. No, not even robbery could compare to being an Alchemist.

Zhong Lin shook his head, “A Low Grade Xuandan isn’t enough.”

With the foundation they had, if they directly consumed the Gathering Top Pill for a breakthrough, at most they’d condense a Seventh Grade Xuandan, which would be Low Grade.

For many Martial Artists, they wouldn’t care about Low or Top Grade; as long as they could condense a Xuandan, they would be satisfied.

But Zhong Lin was not satisfied, knowing that the grade of the Xuandan not only affected battle power but also the future path in Martial Arts.

After the Xuandan Realm, the realm is called the Yin Yang Realm, breaking through which requires absorbing the power of Heaven and Earth’s Yin and Yang. This power also has grades, and a low-grade Xuandan cannot bear high-grade Yin Yang power.

This creates a vicious cycle: slow start, slow pace.

If you’re weaker in the Xuandan Realm, you’ll be weaker in the Yin Yang Realm.

There’s no need to talk about further realms because the Yin Yang Realm is the limit, and breaking through beyond that is impossible.

Long Zhao nodded in agreement, “Senior Brother is right, a Low Grade Xuandan is indeed not enough. Given your talent, it must be at least a Top Grade Xuandan, even the best among the top.”
