The Mortal's Path to Immortality

After the addition of a Red Leaf Sword Master, daily life on the Deep Blue Spirit Ship remained as peaceful as usual, without much significant change.

When there was no Sea of ​​Heavenly Secrets, the Deep Blue Organization had almost no presence in the West Corner area.

What was played here every day was nothing more than the scenes of other organizations and many cultivators scrounging for scattered Heavenly Secrets.

And what kind of fierce conflicts these people caused each other, how many thieves were willing to kill in order to snatch Heavenly Secrets, and so on, all had nothing to do with the Deep Blue Organization.

Time passed quickly, the Deep Blue Spirit Ship was anchored in the void, and in a blink of an eye, a whole year had passed.

During this year, there was no Sea of ​​Heavenly Secrets condensed in the West Corner.

At the same time, Cao Rui had been living in seclusion and practicing.

During this period, he consumed as many as 30,000 high-grade Heavenly Secrets!

On this day, after unremitting efforts, Cao Rui finally succeeded in filling up the experience beads required for the promotion to the seventh level of Chaos Spirit Yuan Gong.

Since he flew into the spirit world, Cao Rui has never been so eager to break through the small realm he is in.

The reason is nothing more than that in the red cloud vortex, the strength of one's own combat power is too critical.

Even if it is just a small realm level, the combat power increase that can be brought about is enough to cause earth-shaking changes in many situations.

Facing the already full purple experience bead in front of him, Cao Rui clicked it without hesitation...

The purple torrent in it immediately poured into Cao Rui's limbs, Yuanying, and soul.

"I'm starting to be promoted..." Cao Rui was slightly happy in his heart, and he clearly felt that the Yuanying in his body was growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At the same time, his soul seemed to be nourished by some mysterious power, becoming stronger and stronger, and the range that his consciousness could cover was significantly improved.

At this moment, the originally calm heaven and earth energy around him seemed to be stirred by an invisible big hand, and rushed towards Cao Rui.

These extremely rich heaven and earth energy poured into his body like a tide, and every bit of it was frantically strengthening his body.

On the deck of the spirit ship, the Red Leaf Sword Master, who had been keeping his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes with a gleam of light in his eyes. "Huh? How could someone break through at this moment? And judging from the fluctuations, it should be a breakthrough to the small realm of the peak of the Refining Void!"

"How could someone who can come to the central area and join the Deep Blue be someone who has not even reached the peak of the Refining Void?"

He muttered to himself in a low voice, and his eyes quickly swept around, trying to find someone who was breaking through.

"Wait, that direction..." The Red Leaf Sword Master's sight finally fixed on a certain training room, where all the heaven and earth energy was gathering, and a look of astonishment appeared on his face.

"It turned out to be this guy, the Cloak Ancestor! I didn't expect that he was still at the level of the late Refining Void before?"

After finding out who was promoted, the Red Leaf Sword Master's face was full of disbelief.

You know, when Cao Rui was there before, the combat power he showed was far beyond what an ordinary cultivator in the late stage of refining emptiness could possess.

According to common sense, a small realm breakthrough from the late stage of refining emptiness to the peak of refining emptiness can increase the combat power of ordinary cultivators by at least 20% to 30%.

In this way, it means that the strength of the Cloak Ancestor will usher in a substantial improvement after this promotion.

Thinking of this, the Red Leaf Sword Master couldn't help but frown secretly.

Now, the rumor that the Cloak Ancestor's strength is not weaker than Ji Zhan may be confirmed.

After a little thought, the Red Leaf Sword Master passed the news to Ji Zhan, the leader of the Blue Robe Star Pirates...

...

In the training room, time seemed to freeze.

Cao Rui's body was shining, and a powerful energy wave suddenly broke out.

After a moment, the light gradually converged, and everything returned to calm.

At this time, Cao Rui had successfully broken through to the eighth level of Chaos Spirit Yuan Gong and successfully promoted to the peak of refining emptiness!

However, Cao Rui had already gotten used to the lessons of realm breakthrough.

He knew the importance of consolidating his cultivation, so he was not in a hurry to check the changes after his promotion.

On the contrary, he quickly calmed down and started to practice the formula of the eighth level of Chaos Spiritual Yuan Gong.

As the practice was running, the surging Yuanying mana brought by the promotion began to slowly stabilize and gradually merged into his meridians.

In this way, half a day passed quickly, and Cao Rui had become more and more proficient in the use of the eighth level of the practice.

At this moment, he felt that the time was ripe, so he took out a top-grade Tianji from the blue ring jade bottle.

This Tianji exuded a faint spiritual light, and at this moment it was sealed and extremely calm.

When Cao Rui injected his own mana into the top-grade Tianji, the originally quiet Tianji instantly became agitated.

However, it was quickly refined and suppressed by Cao Rui's mana.

Because his mana was greatly enhanced after the promotion, the speed of refining Tianji was more than twice as fast as before.

And with the help of the experience beads, the efficiency of absorbing energy was higher.

However, in order to advance from the peak of the Refining Void stage to the Fusion stage, the amount of Heavenly Secrets required is still enormous.

In the following days, Cao Rui devoted himself to refining the Heavenly Secrets.

One day, two days, three days... Three days passed, and the experience beads in the soul were still dark, and it was almost impossible to see how much purple was revealed. But Cao Rui was not discouraged. He gritted his teeth and continued to output mana.

Finally, after countless efforts, he barely saw a faint purple.

Finally, he could make an estimate based on this.

After careful calculation and deduction, Cao Rui came to a conclusion.

If you want to completely fill the experience beads of the eighth level of Chaos Spirit Yuan Gong, you must continuously refine the upper-grade or top-grade heavenly secrets for a full thirty years!

According to his previous estimates, if you calculate based on an average of 200 upper-grade heavenly secrets consumed every day, then a total of up to 2.19 million upper-grade heavenly secrets will be needed to meet the demand.

It is worth mentioning that the energy contained in one top-grade heavenly secret is about four to five times that of the upper-grade heavenly secret.

Therefore, if all these upper-grade heavenly secrets are converted into top-grade heavenly secrets, it will take about 450,000.

Recalling the last time he ventured to the Sea of ​​Heavenly Secrets, Cao Rui made a slight estimate.

Warm reminder: The website is about to be revised, which may cause the reading progress to be lost. Please save the "Bookshelf" and "Reading Records" in time (it is recommended to take a screenshot to save). We apologize for the inconvenience caused to you!

That action brought him a lot of gains, with a total of 70,000 high-grade Heavenly Secrets and 20,000 top-grade Heavenly Secrets.

In this way, if the luck can be as smooth as last time, then Cao Rui only needs to continue to plunder the Sea of ​​Heavenly Secrets for a dozen more times, which is enough to accumulate enough Heavenly Secrets and successfully advance to the Fusion Stage.

However, reality is often not always as good as people wish.

After all, it is not always possible to be lucky enough to give birth to medium and large-sized Heavenly Secrets in the West Corner area.

There are also many times when they may only encounter some small or even mini Heavenly Secrets.

For this situation, it is not so optimistic.

If you are unlucky enough to encounter a mini-Sea of ​​Heavenly Secrets, you may not even be able to collect the tribute fees to the Blue Robe Star Pirates, and you may end up having to pay a lot of Heavenly Secrets yourself.

Taking all these unstable factors into consideration, after careful calculation, Cao Rui estimated that he would have to go through at least twenty plundering operations in the Sea of ​​Heavenly Secrets before he could successfully collect the Heavenly Secrets necessary to support his promotion to the Fusion Stage.

Such a fast progress is simply shocking!

You know, for other ordinary cultivators, even if they are the leaders who dominate one side and occupy a corner, if they want to collect the Heavenly Secrets needed for their own promotion, it will take at least a hundred years.

During this hundred years, whether the organization will break up and whether the position of the leader will be challenged are uncertain factors.

Once an accident occurs, it will take longer.

The reason why Cao Rui is so fast is that he has the Hongmeng treasure - the experience bead, which can greatly improve the efficiency of the Heavenly Secrets.

The number of high-grade heavenly secrets required for ordinary cultivators to advance to the fusion stage is by no means as simple as two million.

At this moment, Cao Rui clearly felt that the mana in his body was like a surging torrent, which had increased by more than half compared to before, and at the same time, its texture became more mellow and dense.

This also means that the power of all the magical skills and sword-controlling skills he mastered will rise accordingly and be significantly improved.

Not only that, his spiritual consciousness also increased, and the increase rate reached an astonishing one-third.

With Cao Rui's current spiritual consciousness base, an increase of one-third is already extremely terrifying.

There is no doubt that with the significant increase in the power of spiritual consciousness, the power that can be exerted by the various spiritual consciousness and magical powers he exerts will inevitably be correspondingly stronger.

At the physical level, due to the continuous tempering effect brought about by the continuous increase in mana, its strength and toughness have also increased slightly.

At this stage, it is no exaggeration to say that Cao Rui is at the peak of his strength in the refining stage.

If he wanted to achieve a further leap in combat effectiveness, then in terms of skills, he had to practice the Lingyuan Guanshen Jue to the third level to promote the continued substantial growth of his consciousness.

After a little thought, Cao Rui decided to call Guan Yichen over to see what level his combat effectiveness had reached.

As soon as he thought about it, an invisible wave of divine consciousness was transmitted instantly, passing through many spaces and accurately reaching Guan Yichen who was practicing attentively.

After receiving Cao Rui's message, Guan Yichen did not dare to be negligent at all, and immediately stopped the practice at hand, and rushed towards the practice room where Cao Rui was.

Not long after, he landed steadily in front of the door of the practice room and walked in quickly.

After entering the training room, Guan Yichen first bowed respectfully to Cao Rui, then bowed and said, "Chief, I wonder why you summoned me this time?"

Cao Rui looked at Guan Yichen calmly and said slowly, "Come and help me check carefully to see what level of combat power I have reached now."

Having a subordinate like Guan Yichen who can be called a human combat power detector is quite convenient in daily life.

You can check your own combat power at any time, and you can see at a glance whether there is a hidden BOSS.

Upon hearing Cao Rui's request, Guan Yichen did not hesitate and immediately activated the extremely precious spiritual treasure in his body - the Ordinary Pearl of Destiny.

As his mana continued to pour into it, the Fate Orb began to emit a faint light.

In just a moment, a look of shock appeared on Guan Yichen's face, but he quickly calmed down and said in a deep voice: "Chief, according to the detection results of my subordinates, your current combat power value is as high as 3200! This value is even higher than your combat power Sun Daoyi, who ranks first on the list, is a full two hundred points higher!"

After saying that, Guan Yichen couldn't help but take a deep breath, his eyes full of admiration.

However, faced with such a shocking result, Cao Rui just nodded slightly to express his understanding.

Over the years, he has relied on the Hongmeng Supreme Treasure Experience Bead to practice so many magical powers and techniques. He also created his own fusion of magical powers and spiritual eyes to break the delusion, and refined the Netherworld Spiritual Eyes.

Therefore, it is reasonable to have such terrifying combat power.

After thinking for a moment, Cao Rui asked, "As for Ji Zhan, the leader of the Blue Robed Star Thief Group, have you ever seen him in person, right?"

Guan Yichen nodded, "I was watching the fight between Ji Zhan and Sun Daoyi!"

"What was the combat strength of that season?" Cao Rui asked curiously.

After Ji Zhan defeated Sun Daoyi, he is currently the number one player in Hongyun Whirlpool.

Guan Yichen smiled: "Chief, your combat power is higher than that of Ji Zhan! The combat power of Ji Zhan is 50 lower than yours, only 3150!"

"Now, this season's battle is just like the rumors. I am really no match for you, the leader!"

"So..." Cao Rui reached out and rubbed his chin, shaking his head gently.

"It's good that your spiritual treasure can observe combat power, but you can't completely believe it as the truth."

"Especially when the fighting forces are so close."

"The previous leader of [Blizzard], Song Ye, was 50 times more powerful than me, but he was still defeated by me in the end."

Hearing this, Guan Yichen nodded seriously: "What the leader said is absolutely true, and my subordinates will remember it."

Cao Rui just made a suggestion. As for whether Guan Yichen took it seriously, he couldn't follow up.

"Okay, let's go practice." Cao Rui asked Guan Yichen to leave.

Cao Rui had no intention of leaving the seclusion and continued to take out the secret and refine it.

He still has 50,000 high-grade secrets and 20,000 top-grade secrets on hand, which are enough for daily cultivation.

"It's been almost a year. If Tianjihai doesn't show up again, I won't be able to afford the salary."

"Come on the Tianji Sea." Cao Rui urged in his heart while refining Tianji.

Unexpectedly, Tianjihai did not rush him, but instead rushed him an uninvited guest.

On this day, Sun Daoyi came with a sword and stopped in front of the dark blue spirit ship.
