Chapter 130: Years Flowing By Like Flood Water
A year later.
Tian Yongheng sat cross-legged in his cave abode.
He had completely stabilized his cultivation and was now about to continue cultivating to reach the peak of the Ninth Stage of Golden Core Realm.
After that will be the Void Refinement Realm.
From his estimations, it would take him roughly 9 or 10 years to completely reach the peak of the Ninth Stage of Golden Core Realm and then begin breaking through to the Void Refinement Realm.
And he wasn’t planning on coming out of seclusion just after reaching the complete perfection of Golden Core Realm.
He would directly enter the Void Refinement Realm after that, which would take an unknown period of time in addition to those 9 or 10 years.
At this moment, he was checking his surroundings.
Everything was in place, and he was ready to start this long seclusion.
And so, it began.
...
5 years passed by in an instant.
It was the season of Autumn.
At this moment, heavy rain poured down from the dark, raging clouds in the skies.
In a forest covered by trees of all sizes, the sounds of toads and other such beings could he heard from every side in the rain.
A small path enough for 2 people to walk in at the same time had been carved out in this place, leading to a small, dilapidated daoist temple.
A wavering light could be seen in the daoist temple, which was a fire that had been ignited inside.
Four figures could be seen sitting next to each other in the daoist temple surrounding the fire, all of them sitting in lotus positions on the ground which was surprisingly very clean despite the rain outside.
They were none other than the group of Lu Qingfeng, including Lin Qiyuan, Wu Qing, and Shi Meirong.
All of them were chatting about other things, and waiting for the rain to end before setting off again.
They could have set off already, being cultivators capable of crossing the distance of a few hundred miles where the rain was happening in less than a couple of hours even if they flew normally, but they had decided to travel by foot in the last few years of their journey together since they were all going back to their respectable powers after some more time.
Thus, they would also not use any Spiritual Energy or anything of the sort to defend from the rain.
They had initially decided to do this for fun, but it would also hone their Dao Hearts, so it was a good thing.
"Brother Lu, when do you think this rain is going to end?"
Lin Qiyuan asked casually as he took a bite of a piece of chicken in his hand, which had been thoroughly cooked by the fire in the middle.
Even though Immortal Cultivators do not need to eat, drink, or sleep after reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm, it didn’t mean that their entire appetite had died.
They could still do those things if they wanted to, just that it was not necessary to do so.
Not to mention, all of these children of the highest rank in great powers had wanted to try eating like this, sitting by a normal campfire, even though all the work was done by Lu Qingfeng as the only one who knew about these things because of his former status as a mortal servant of a Martial Arts Family before coming into contact with the cultivation world.
He also taught the others these basic survival skills, and they were quite bewildered to know that just survival was this complicated in the mortal world.
They didn’t even know how to start a fire since from their birth, they had always seen people using Spiritual Energy to ignite it.
Although the high ranking figures of their factions often told them that they’ll also learn the way of mortals when experiencing the outside world, this matter was usually dismissed as irrelevant by their parents or masters, because why would Immortal Cultivators need to learn the way of mortals?
In short, they had been spoiled from the beginning so much that they only relied on the Immortal Cultivator ways in nearly everything they did.
It was as if embedded in their minds.
But fortunately, this mindset of theirs was changing now due to Lu Qingfeng’s influence and their experiences in the outside world.
*Crackle!*
Thunder roared outside the daoist temple, and the rain was slowly becoming even more fierce.
It was easy to predict that it won’t stop for the next few days. Although it was a relief that there wasn’t any river near a few hundred miles of this forest, otherwise, there may be danger of a flood happening.
Looking outside, Lu Qingfeng replied calmly, "I don’t think it’s going to stop anytime soon. Let’s wait for a few more days."
At this point, he couldn’t help but think of something.
There are only about 10 or so years left...I’ve already given up on finding Lu Sheng for now.
I’ll first have to go back home and cultivate up to at least the Void Refinement Realm, then I’ll launch an all out
...
Another 5 years passed by in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, in the Eternal Peak.
Tian Yongheng finally reached the peak of the Ninth Stage of Golden Core Realm, ready to attempt to breakthrough to the Void Refinement Realm!
He took in a deep breath, trying to calm down his excited heart as he recognized the depths of his current strength.
He could annihilate hundreds of Golden Core Realm cultivators with a finger, and thrash thousands with a hand.
Even in the face of hundreds of thousands of Golden Core Realm cultivators, he would not falter and still defeat them head on.
His raw strength without any Spiritual Energy or any enhancement alone was capable of shattering mountains thousands of feet tall.
This was called being invincible below the Void Refinement Realm.
Now, it was time to enter the Void Refinement Realm!
