Chapter 261: The Heavens Reward Diligence, Spirit Transformation
At this moment, both of them stood in place without fleeing, facing the descending calamity together.
Ji Yang unleashed several sword energies to try to block the lightning calamity, but the power of this calamity was too strong; the sword energies shattered before they even touched the lightning.
Seeing the lightning fall, Ji Yang had no choice but to fully activate the recently acquired divine ability, hoping his robust body would help him endure it.
On the other side, Elder Guan also stood solemnly in preparation!
This time, he did not actively attack the calamity clouds; instead, he gathered a small bronze bell from within.
The ancient bell was extraordinary, engraved with various Formations.
This was his life-bound treasure, refined during his time in the Nascent Soul Stage, and it had been nurtured in his dantian for many years, holding immense power.
However, its primary purpose was still for defense.
With this treasure, he had escaped from several life-threatening crises, and this time would be no different.
Now, he simply needed to block the lightning calamity while Ji Yang failed the tribulation, and he would have achieved a significant victory!
As the lightning calamity descended, the sky flickered with bright lights.
In the distance, some cultivators witnessed the scene, their faces filled with shock. They recognized at a glance that someone was crossing the tribulation and immediately ran further away!
The might of the calamity was beyond their reach.
But some cultivators gazed with curiosity and then boldly walked toward the center of the lightning calamity!
After all, fortune and danger go hand in hand!
Although it was a tribulation crossing, who knew if there were any benefits to reap!
Moreover, even if that person succeeded, they could feign compliments!
Most of these cultivators going toward the scene possessed a certain level of strength or relied on life-saving techniques they trusted!
“Argh!”
As the lightning calamity struck Ji Yang, he trembled violently, electric sparks flashing around him and illuminating a radius of several hundred meters.
Faintly, a scent of burning wafted through the air.
At this moment, Elder Guan hid beneath the bronze bell he was desperately maintaining, his eyes fixed on Ji Yang’s situation.
Despite the strength of the lightning calamity, his treasure was not weak.
The bronze bell effectively blocked all the power of the calamity from the outside; however, the magical power within Elder Guan was rapidly depleting.
But when Elder Guan caught the scent of charred things drifting nearby, a smug smile appeared on his face.
Yet before this smile could fade, he noticed the figure in the distance, amidst the electric flashes, gradually growing more powerful!
Originally at the Middle Stage of Yuan Ying, Ji Yang had seemingly broken through to the Spirit Transformation Stage in an instant!
As Ji Yang achieved his breakthrough, the calamity clouds in the sky began to calm down slowly and then started to dissipate.
Seeing this, Elder Guan’s smile vanished, replaced by a growing darkness.
He hadn’t expected that such a powerful lightning calamity would be resisted by Ji Yang!
But it didn’t matter; it was now his turn to take action!
As the lightning calamity disappeared, Elder Guan removed the protective bronze bell and swiftly moved towards Ji Yang’s direction.
However, as he approached the flashes of electricity, he could not find Ji Yang anywhere.
This left Elder Guan momentarily stunned.
He spread out his primordial spirit energy and quickly spotted a small black dot rapidly fleeing in the distance.
That was Ji Yang, taking advantage of the chaotic moment right after his breakthrough to escape from this place!
“Damn it!”
Elder Guan gritted his teeth. When the lightning calamity had struck, he hadn’t dared to use his primordial spirit energy extensively for exploration, not realizing that Ji Yang had slipped away right under his nose.
Regaining his senses, Elder Guan wasted no time and pursued again!
On the other side, Ji Yang wore a faint smile as he experienced his brand-new realm.
After breaking through to the Spirit Transformation Stage, the gentle spiritual energy from his cultivation points had not yet dissipated; it even helped him recover from the injuries caused by the lightning calamity and simultaneously solidified his early Spirit Transformation realm.
Unfortunately, the residual spiritual energy after the breakthrough did not propel him directly into the Mid Spirit Transformation realm!
At this moment, his body remained strong, and he even changed into a new set of clothes during his escape!
In the Spirit Transformation Stage, the primordial spirit could leave the body.
If possible, it could even soar through the skies and wander across the world!
However, the environment in the current cultivation world was not suitable for such actions, as one could never know when a powerful cultivator might appear above and capture their primordial spirit to use for refining pills or as materials for treasures.
After breaking through to the Spirit Transformation Stage, Ji Yang also had a completely new experience.
First, there was the spiritual energy from the heavens and earth surrounding him.
Before reaching this stage, cultivators could only truly feel this energy when operating their Techniques; otherwise, they could only vaguely sense whether the spiritual energy around them was rich or sparse.
But after breaking through, this sensation was greatly enhanced.
Moreover, it was not merely sensitivity; when a Spirit Transformation Stage cultivator attacked, each strike could absorb the surrounding spiritual energy, increasing the power of their attacks.
Casting a spell casually became an ability that low-tier cultivators could not match.
Now, when Ji Yang unleashed Thousands of Sword Energies, its power far surpassed that of his previous realm.
His flight speed also notably improved.
Additionally, the boost from his Feather Transformation state allowed Ji Yang to maintain a safe distance from Elder Guan, who was chasing him!
At this moment, Ji Yang’s Nascent Soul had vanished, but it had not truly disappeared; it was hidden within him in a different form. Whenever Ji Yang wished, he could separate his primordial spirit from his body and abandon his physical form!
There were many mysteries contained within, but Ji Yang had no time to experiment right now.
This was because Elder Guan still pursued him relentlessly.
Even though Ji Yang had broken through to the Spirit Transformation Stage and felt his strength had increased, he did not believe he was a match for the Elder Guan, who had taken medicine.
Besides, why engage in a deadly fight with him? Now was the time to flee!
The Spirit Transformation Stage was still far from the True Immortal Realm he aimed to reach, and he needed to keep mining and cultivating without pause for a faster ascension!
Just as the two of them moved further away from the location of the lightning calamity’s descent, many cultivators arrived to check the situation.
Most of these cultivators were demonic path cultivators, and many carried strong malevolent energy. When they failed to find any benefits upon meeting, they quickly left the area.
After flying for a long while, Ji Yang still exuded vibrant energy, continuously operating the Huang Ting Dao Jing along with the Ascension Technique that enabled him to rapidly restore his magical power, giving him significant advantages over cultivators of the same level.
While the differences may not have been obvious in the early stages, as the realm elevated, the importance of his Techniques became clear.
Ji Yang practiced top-tier Techniques that surpassed in aspects like magical power purity, magical power limits, and recovery speed.
Not to mention, Ji Yang also benefited from countless White Light Points!
This was also the main reason he could withstand the lightning calamity and successfully break through his realm just now.
Meanwhile, Elder Guan, who trailed closely behind, did not enjoy the same privileges.
Though he had a higher realm than Ji Yang, he did not surpass Ji Yang significantly in speed.
