Chapter 497: Law of Heaven and Earth

“Ah!”

On Jingtan Peak, Ji Yang let out a sigh.

He had planned to mine for a bit longer, but he didn’t expect to be exposed so quickly.

Now that various sects had noticed, he couldn’t proceed further.

However, he recalled that he hadn’t mined his own sect’s mine, so why were there rumors in the sect saying that the He Dao Sect’s mine was also stolen?

This had nothing to do with him! After all, he always cared for his sect and respected his elders.

Yet, thinking of the gains he had harvested over the past five years, a satisfied smile appeared on Ji Yang’s face.

Although his realm hadn’t advanced in these five years and he only grew older, his actual gains were quite abundant.

Firstly, in terms of cultivation points, Ji Yang had mined countless high-quality ores over five years, bringing his cultivation points to 9888, just a few steps away from the limit.

Right now, even without mining, just relying on a few top-tier spiritual plants on Jingtan Peak, he could reach the limit in no time.

Aside from cultivation points, the condensation of essence was also beyond Ji Yang’s expectations.

Initially, the condensation speed was somewhat slow while farming, but once he started mining, he often entered a state of comprehending the Dao.

Because the iron pick also contained the essence, it allowed Ji Yang to understand two kinds of essence while mining, resulting in a rapid growth rate.

In four years, Ji Yang had raised the condensation of both essences to ninety percent.

Unfortunately, once the condensation reached ninety percent, the growth rate began to slow down again.

In the following year, he increased it by less than ten percent.

As for the time essence, he had no insights, but that did not affect Ji Yang’s ability to use it.

With the improvement in the condensation of the essence of war, Ji Yang could also use the time essence quite adeptly. However, each time he used it, the time essence would remain dormant for two days, making it a long-term consumable suitable only for critical moments.

Additionally, Ji Yang had gained three new superb skills.

Among them, Cosmic Pocket and Move Stars and Change Constellations were obtained from mining top-quality ores in two high-quality mines.

Cosmic Pocket is a technique that combines trapping enemies with storage capabilities, containing elements of Spatial Power. If one can comprehend this technique for a long time, it might eventually lead to insights into Space essence.

However, compared to this approach, Ji Yang still believes that after boosting his own strength, directly seizing the Space essence from the old man in the secret realm is more reliable.

Move Stars and Change Constellations is also a powerful technique. With enough mastery, it can even change day into night or vice versa.

But with Ji Yang’s current level, he is far from reaching that extent.

Nonetheless, this technique has subtle uses in critical moments. For example, during a battle between cultivators, Ji Yang can switch the positions of the two opponents, catching them off guard.

As for the last technique, Law of Heaven and Earth, Ji Yang developed it himself after his physical body achieved the next level beyond the Immaculate Body.

Ji Yang is unsure what realm his physical body has reached now, but he can feel a mysterious force continuously pulling him from above.

If he had to undergo the Calamity Clouds again, he believes it wouldn’t be a problem.

Aside from his physical abilities, Ji Yang’s primordial spirit energy is also growing stronger, now reaching a critical point where it can’t increase any further.

Yet his Techniques operate constantly, and with the enhancement of the White Light Points, he continues to accumulate energy for his primordial spirit.

Currently, only his realm holds Ji Yang back.

Once he breaks through his realm, everything will rise alongside it naturally.

However, the Chains of the Heavenly Dao tighten with higher realms, making them harder to break. This leads Ji Yang to refrain from hastily attempting a breakthrough without complete confidence.

After strengthening his body, Ji Yang had tried to break the Chains of the Heavenly Dao using his physical strength.

At first, the chains showed some fluctuations, but ultimately, not only did he fail to break them, they became even tighter.

Now, chains are spread all over his body.

It seems that as time passes, these chains will slowly draw closer.

According to Ji Yang’s estimate, in a few years, these Chains of the Heavenly Dao will reflect upon his physical body, making it difficult for even the most powerful cultivators to deal with.

Although he has not successfully removed the Chains of the Heavenly Dao, Ji Yang felt a glimmer of opportunity.

Simply relying on physical strength is insufficient, but if combined with his realm and primordial spirit energy, he can surely eliminate this hidden crisis.

Now, Ji Yang no longer worries about the cultivation points needed to raise his realm, only the essence has yet to be perfected.

Forcibly breaking through could likely get him stuck at a certain realm, hindering his progress.

That’s something Ji Yang will not allow; he has endured for so long and can’t allow his efforts to fall short. He must refine every aspect to perfection so he can ensure absolute success.

Over the five years, Ji Yang periodically receives Transmission from Ye Wuchen.

The content generally details his Master’s travels to various hidden places within the Cultivation World, sharing stories of discoveries made along the way.

According to him, the hidden corners of the cultivation world seem to harbor many ancient powerful cultivators who quietly reside, seemingly waiting for something.

Even he hasn’t seen the full picture.

After reading the contents of the letter, Ji Yang was even more astonished.

Cultivators who have survived through the long river of history and the changes of eras, and who even Ye Wuchen cannot confidently defeat, are certainly beyond the level of someone like Huang Tian.

It seems the depths of the cultivation world’s underbelly run quite deep.

Yet, on second thought, Ji Yang worries less; as long as those cultivators don’t target him, their hiding places have nothing to do with him.

What he needs to do now is maximize his cultivation points while also enhancing his essence condensation.

According to Ji Yang’s estimation, when his essence reaches one hundred percent, it will signify the completion of this path.

With a thoroughly mastered path and sufficient cultivation points, he will surely reach the True Immortal Realm.
