Chapter 143: True Immortal Realm

In order to have her own body as soon as possible, Su Tingyun is works very hard on her cultivation.

The advancement of her primordial spirit is exceptionally fast, which is, according to the Bai family, a freakish rate. 

The only one who knows the inside story in more detail is Bai Su.

When Su Tingyun was in the Immortal Palace, the remnant soul of that demonic creature indirectly nourished her primordial spirit. In addition, the ring is a celestial bone, a heaven-defying artifact created with the lifelong efforts of the celestial from before. Even the blessings of future generations were sacrificed to make this extraordinary godly tool, that it's now outside the five elements of the Heavenly Dao and forming its own universe. Inside it now contains elements such as metal, wood, fire, earth...

Her primordial spirit is connected to the ring, and it doesn't seem to adhere to the laws of the Heavenly Dao. Rather, it would be strange if she doesn't have this rapid advancement. However, such swift progress raises concerns about potential hidden dangers. After all, her primordial spirit was once nourished by the residual soul of a demonic creature…

Other than that, with the mysterious and extreme Killing Sword and Haoran Zhenqi Sword in the Obliteration Sword Tower, Bai Su is somewhat worried. Having traversed three thousand realms and witnessed a wide array of phenomena, encountering such unique circumstances in the Obliteration Sword Tower is a first for him. Everyone has been studying the array formation and barriers here, and surprisingly, they found that without their spiritual energy, they couldn't break through. Even if they could utilize spiritual energy, it might not guarantee success.

It's not possible that this is a Sect passed down from an ancient Celestial race, is it?

To be on the safe side, Bai Su lights a subtly fragrant incense in Su Tingyun's room. This incense has the ability to calm the mind and concentrate one's thoughts. When it was crafted, Bai Su used the spiritual spring in the Bai family's underground river. If there were any unusual occurrences with the primordial spirit, the wafting green smoke would react, allowing him to observe Su Tingyun's condition.

There isn't much of this particular incense left, as it was prepared by him in his youth for his mother.

...

Since the cultivation of the primordial spirit can now take place within her bone ring, Su Tingyun, for the time being, is not worried about the safety of the Obliteration Sword Tower. She goes straight into seclusion, not bothering to possess Xi Guang's body to show up every few days. Immersed in the cultivation of her primordial spirit, she breaks through the critical juncture within a year.

Her divine sense extends outward, as if floating out of the attic, drifting out of the Obliteration Sword Island, and looking towards the broader expanse of the world...

Everything becomes clear—plants, insects, fish, towering mountains, flowing rivers, gentle breezes in the forest, rustling leaves, desolate deserts. Vibrant colors flood into her mind. The entire world transforms into a painting, and at this moment, It's as if someone is holding a brush, depicting all things in the world before her eyes.

A new realm unfolds slowly before her.

After the breakthrough of Su Tingyun's primordial spirit, she truly feels the benefits of synchronizing the cultivation of her soul with Xi Guang's body. However, she doesn't meticulously explore the changes in her strength at the moment. Instead, she is eager to cross the boundary lake.

Big Bai has acknowledged Su Tingyun as her master, allowing her to integrate Big Bai into her Sea of Consciousness. So in fact, Big Bai can cross the Boundary Lake even with insufficient cultivation. But as a creature that's newly reborn from molting, Big Bai's original strength was formidable. Lately, under the urging of Little Bai, it has been intensifying its cultivation, eating Divine Tree branches every day until it's full, diligently digesting without slacking off. She breaks through the Mahayana realm even before Su Tingyun.

In this past year, there have been significant changes among the Obliteration Sword Tower's cultivators. The elders who were previously in the Foundation Establishment stage all advanced to the Golden Core stage, while Zhan Yu reached the Nascent Soul stage. Xiao Budian and the others are also on the verge of entering the Foundation Establishment stage.

With the strong support of the Bai family, everyone's progress is remarkably rapid. However, there are concerns about the stability of their foundations. Zhan Yu organizes everyone to go for outside trials every few days, setting out regularly.

"We can't just hide all the time because there might be dangers out there. How can we strengthen our Dao hearts otherwise?" Zhan Yu's words receive support from everyone. Although Su Tingyun is concerned, she can't say much.

Because this is the cultivation world, where each person has their own path, it is only after experiencing trials and tribulations can one steadfastly walk towards the chosen direction.

...

Time is of the essence, and Su Tingyun eagerly asks to cross the Boundary Lake and go to the Upper Realm.

The time required to cross the Boundary Lake is not long, but being inside it entails some suffering.

Because in the Boundary Lake, spiritual energy cannot be used.

However, Su Tingyun is enveloped well by Big Bai, completely unaware of the slightest chill or storm inside the Lake. Apart from the lack of any external light, everything seems fine.

Inside Big Bai's body, there is also a colorful sphere, like a lamp, casting a warm and colorful light around, making the surroundings feel comfortable. Su Tingyun only feels that in no time, there is brightness outside, and she hears Bai Su saying, "We're almost there, put Big Bai into your Sea of Consciousness."

It's so much more convenient if a Word Spirit has recognized a master. Putting Big Bai into her Sea of Consciousness makes it difficult for others to detect, and easier to conceal.

Su Tingyun does as she's told. She initially thought that after putting Big Bai away, the cold and the violent turbulence would make her feel uncomfortable inside the Boundary Lake. But to her surprise, a parasol appears above her head, and as the parasol spins, it casts a shimmering light around her, warding off the surrounding chill.

"This Bai Su has a so many random things!"

Upper Realm cultivators like them have strong physical bodies, and their clothes are all spiritual treasures. Although the Boundary Lake is cold, it's nothing for them. As long as they don't violate the rules and use spiritual energy, crossing the Boundary Lake is no different from walking on flat ground. Who would think about bringing an umbrella for someone else…
