Capítulo 490: Chapter 489: These words, do they sound familiar?
“However, for now… according to the rules, I could still stay in this Inheritance Hall for twenty more days.
If I left now, anyone would notice something amiss.
Fortunately, this place was at the peak of the Qingxu Mountain Range, where the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was most concentrated. I might as well cultivate here, accumulate some, and save on my Spirit Stone consumption.
Also, a cultivation technique targeting the mid-stage Primordial Spirit Realm, combined with three great Divine Techniques, required time to truly comprehend and understand before I could start cultivating effectively.
After all, for an Immortal Cultivator, as long as the environment was quiet and safe enough, you could cultivate anywhere.”
Bai Ziyue pondered for a moment, then smiled, sitting cross-legged on a clearing. Soon, the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi rushed toward him like a funnel.
His thoughts immediately immersed in the various divine skills of the great Divine Techniques.
…
“Haha… Master Dan Jun rarely visits in person. The last time must have been decades ago, right? What is it? Bored from inactivity, thinking of joining us? You’re welcome, you’re welcome.”
In a hidden cave, the surrounding spiritual energy seemed very thin. A cultivator in a black robe, surrounded by an endless dark mist that obscured his true appearance, laughed strangely at the visitor.
“Cut the nonsense. I came just to tell you that the supply of Spirit Pills to you needs to be postponed.”
Master Dan Jun said coldly.
“What is it? Does Master Dan Jun want to end our cooperation?”
The voice of the black-robed cultivator changed.
“It’s not that I want to end the cooperation with you, but some things have become less convenient.
I won’t hide it from you: I’ve lost the position of the next Hall Master of the Pill Treasure Hall of Qingxu Sect.”
Master Dan Jun’s expression grew darker.
The black-robed cultivator’s tone immediately revealed some urgency as he said, “What happened? Was the news of you providing Spirit Pills to us discovered? How could it be possible? We’ve been so discreet, and we were using jade as a cover…”
Master Dan Jun interrupted, “No, it wasn’t that. But rather someone suddenly appeared, repeatedly opposing me. This time, he demonstrated alchemy skills far superior to mine and deceived True Monarch Dan Chen, snatching away my next Hall Master position.
If you want to continue receiving the Spirit Pills I provide, you must help me eliminate him.
Moreover, I’ll share some good news: I’ve already advanced to a high-tier Third-Grade Alchemist, which means the Blood Spirit Pill you mentioned last time won’t be a problem.
But first, he must die.”
“Master Dan Jun advanced to a high-tier Third-Grade Alchemist but couldn’t compete with that person? Could it be that his alchemy skills have reached the Fourth Grade?”
The black-robed cultivator suddenly whispered.
“I know what you’re scheming, but don’t forget about the Phoenix-shaped Mountain incident.”
Master Dan Jun said coldly.
“How could I forget? We’ve had decades of partnership, working happily together.
By the way, who is he and how strong is he? You must tell me these things, right?”
The black-robed cultivator quickly denied, then pursued further.
“Master Kunlun, Bai Ziyue! He’s at the early-stage Divine Realm of the Immortal Technique Realm.”
“It’s him? I should have guessed it was him. I know him; he also has quite a bit of history with us.”
The black-robed cultivator’s expression changed. Then he hesitated and said, “But, if he’s staying inside Qingxu Sect’s domain, there’s nothing we can do.”
Qingxu Sect, as one of the Cloud-piercing Four Sects, had immense power and a widely recognized strong array. With their means, not only was infiltrating to kill someone impossible, but even approaching the sect was daunting.
“Half a year later is when the Cloud-Piercing Dharma Assembly begins, where cultivators, Alchemists, and Artifact Refiners from our Cloud-piercing Four Sects and many surrounding sects head to Cloud-piercing City.
Since True Monarch Dan Chen promoted him as the next Hall Master, he would certainly want him to appear at the assembly to showcase his skills and spread his reputation. This would help clear obstacles for his succession as the Hall Master and restore the declining influence of Qingxu Sect’s Pill Treasure Hall.
Therefore, Bai Ziyue would definitely make an appearance in Cloud-piercing City.
I believe it won’t be difficult for you to find an opportunity to kill him.”
“Certainly not difficult.”
The black-robed cultivator chuckled easily.
“Don’t underestimate him. Bai Ziyue’s power is equally formidable. To be safe, you should handle it yourself.”
Master Dan Jun recalled the scene when Bai Ziyue oppressed him. His expression grew dark as he murmured.
“Rest assured! Master Kunlun must die.”
The black-robed cultivator grinned viciously, then was slightly startled, feeling oddly familiar with that sentence as though he had said it before under different circumstances?
…
“Twenty-plus days of continuous cultivation had finally thickened my accumulation, saving at least five million Low-grade Spirit Stones. The distance to officially breaking through to mid-stage Divine Realm and triggering the first transformation had finally made progress.”
Bai Ziyue stepped out from the Inheritance Hall, glancing at the Attribute Panel on the cultivation progress of the Heaven-Devouring Divine Transformation Technique. His face showed a trace of satisfaction.
The transition from the peak of early-stage Divine Realm to mid-stage Divine Realm was a barrier.
With the characteristics of his Heaven-Devouring Divine Transformation Technique, he had to undergo a transformation, the true mystery of the ‘Divine Transformation’ within the cultivation technique.
After transformation, he could officially break through.
However, transformation also required accumulation. The richer the accumulation, the more thorough the transformation would be.
Through the Attribute Panel’s hint, Bai Ziyue understood that the total soul energy needed for the first transformation was similar to when he elevated from the Immortal Technique Realm to the peak of Early-stage Divine Realm, requiring thirty million points. If this was converted into Spirit Stone consumption, it would be thirty million low-grade Spirit Stones.
“It requires the consumption of thirty million low-grade Spirit Stones to accumulate enough to undergo the first transformation and break through to the Mid-stage Divine Realm.
Previously, through daily cultivation by absorbing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, I had effectively reduced the consumption by three million low-grade Spirit Stones. Coupled with the gradual absorption of the remaining twelve million low-grade Spirit Stones that I possessed, it equates to a continuous absorption of 15 million low-grade Spirit Stones.
Adding this five million, makes it a total of twenty million.
Now, to accumulate enough, there’s just ten million left, which is equivalent to one thousand top-grade Spirit Stones.”
Bai Ziyue thought silently, feeling somewhat helpless.
This was also a price to pay for cultivating his self-created top-tier cultivation technique.
The powerful effects naturally required much greater consumption than the ordinary techniques cultivated by other cultivators.
“But it’s almost there, one thousand top-grade Spirit Stones is not a small amount, but it’s not much either. At least with my means, obtaining them wouldn’t be difficult.”
Bai Ziyue felt slightly relieved, his gaze quickly fell on the Attribute Panel.

“The soul energy increased daily during this period, returning to the level of nine million six hundred thousand, barely enough to push my cultivation technique for another round of exploration.
Just as my merit points reached five hundred fifty thousand points, I could go to the Innovation Hall to exchange for those cultivation techniques…”
Seeing the soul energy value on the Attribute Panel, Bai Ziyue’s heart stirred, suddenly feeling a bit impatient.
Without hesitation, his figure flickered and he immediately headed straight for the Innovation Hall.
Half an hour later, the Innovation Hall came into view.
Shortly, Bai Ziyue stood at the entrance of the Innovation Hall, but what left him slightly stunned was that Master Tuijian, whom he last saw, was on the open space in front of the hall, seemingly pondering something silently.
“Kunlun Elder? It hasn’t been long since your last creation; have you made some gains again and plan to create once more?”
Elder Tie Xing, discovering Bai Ziyue immediately, asked surprisingly.
“Indeed, this time, I’ll exchange the remaining two hundred eighty Divine Realm level cultivation methods from last time.”
Bai Ziyue nodded, speaking boldly.
“You’re…”
Elder Tie Xing was slightly taken aback, then his eyes lit up and he said, “Congratulations to Kunlun Elder on breaking through to become a Fourth-Grade Initial Stage Alchemist. It seems the rumors about the Sect Leader and Hall Master Jiwu rewarding you were true.”
“Elder Tie truly is well-informed.”
Bai Ziyue chuckled, then suddenly paused as he noticed Master Tuijian approaching swiftly, his eyes bright and fixed on Bai Ziyue.
“Are you Elder Bai?”
Master Tuijian said, his initially serious face softened, pulling out a smile and rubbing his hands slightly before saying, “Could we speak in private?”
Seeing this, Bai Ziyue speculated the general idea and didn’t refuse, following him to a corner.
Elder Tie Xing merely smiled when he saw this but said nothing further.
“Go ahead, what is the matter?”
Bai Ziyue saw the other party casually cast a Sound Insulation Talisman and asked directly.
“Elder Bai, you see, you wish to create, I also wish to create. Why don’t we be honest with each other and exchange our theories and the embryonic form of the cultivation methods we created? It would greatly benefit our creations individually, and the collision of inspiration might lead to great enlightenment as well.”
After a slight hesitation, Master Tuijian couldn’t help but speak.
“Cultivation techniques are central to one’s own practice; how can they be casually shared?”
Bai Ziyue replied with a smile.
*In truth, he didn’t mind this point much, as he was confident that even if his cultivation technique leaked, few could truly succeed in cultivating it.*
*Being able to ignite one thousand two hundred ninety-six acupoints was too rare.*
*At least, as he knew, no one in Qingxu Sect had done it.*
*Master Tuijian was said to have ignited around a thousand one hundred acupoints to break through to the Divine Realm.*
…
*Seeking support through monthly votes, feeling somewhat overwhelmed.*
