Chapter 503 - 393: Another Breakthrough
Zheng Yi certainly knew that Huiyue Demon Venerable did not want to make any oath.
A person with his character has been well-protected all his life.
During cultivation, there’s always someone to provide endless resources, and even if something goes wrong, someone would risk their life to save him.
No matter how dangerous the situation seems, he is never truly in danger.
Compared to those cultivators who truly struggle for survival, he must exist in a completely different world.
It is precisely because of this that Huiyue Demon Venerable has no idea what it means to weigh options.
This guy wants Zheng Yi’s treasures and also wants to kill them.
He wants to gain all the benefits.
"Hmph, do you think I’m someone who would casually deceive young people like you?"
"Hand over the treasures, and I will let you go safely," Huiyue Demon Venerable said with a cold snort, feigning anger.
Even Zheng Yi was somewhat impressed by his shamelessness.
Zheng Yi wasn’t unaware of what had been said; promising benefits to those ordinary cultivators and having the Nether Spirit Race cultivators to deal with them, while he hides behind the scenes, letting others fight.
Huiyue Demon Venerable promised the Nether Spirit Race cultivators benefits he had no intention of fulfilling.
Now, he was using the same trick to fool him?
However, this situation played right into Zheng Yi’s hands. If Huiyue Demon Venerable really agreed to his conditions and swore to the Canglan Netherlord, Zheng Yi wouldn’t know what to do.
His current objective was to buy time, not really intending to make any deal with Huiyue Demon Venerable.
So, Zheng Yi immediately put on a troubled expression.
"Demon Venerable Senior, it’s not that I don’t trust your words. It’s just a matter of life and death, I hope your lordship can give us assurance. After all..."
Zheng Yi kept talking, endlessly elaborating on something that could be said in a single sentence, he spouted a lot of nonsense.
Huiyue Demon Venerable knew Zheng Yi was stalling for time, but he didn’t mind too much.
The place they were now was a remote deep mountain forest, not the outskirts of a city.
No matter how much this guy dragged it out, how much time could really be delayed?
It was merely the desperate struggle before death.
"To sum it up, you still think that I, a dignified Golden Core Expert, would deceive mere juniors like you," Huiyue Demon Venerable said with a disdainful cold snort, "I’ve said it, my patience has its limits."
Zheng Yi secretly activated his cultivation technique, continuously channeling his energy to boost himself.
Although the previous cultivation techniques were used to exchange for this Pristine Human Emperor Body.
But they were absorbed through dual cultivation with the Yin Yang Treasure Mirror.
Over the years, Zheng Yi had already memorized these techniques, and now it was just a matter of retraining them.
Zheng Yi chose the "Great Five Elements Life and Death Scripture," not for any special reason, but because it’s the most comprehensive among the techniques he mastered.
Other methods like "White Lotus Reincarnation Divine Skill" may be powerful, but are comparatively less suitable.
Even though Zheng Yi practiced the Great Five Elements Life and Death Scripture before, apart from dual cultivation through the Yin Yang Treasure Mirror to absorb Five Elements Spirit Roots, there was no good method.
But now it’s different.
The Pristine Human Emperor Body exchanged from the Yin Yang Treasure Mirror allows simultaneous cultivation of the five meridians.
In other words, even without his body’s extraordinary talent, his cultivation was several times faster than other cultivators.
Most other cultivators choose one attribute, at most adding a secondary attribute to enhance their main attribute.
That is, provided they have the corresponding innate Spirit Root.
For example, most Fire Cultivators typically have a Wood Spirit Root. If they can learn some wood-type techniques, it can effectively enhance their primary attribute’s power.
But without a Spirit Root, or if they have a Water Spirit Root that restrains the fire attribute.
Practicing may not only be unhelpful but could even lead to fire and demonic death due to conflicting powers.
However, nothing is absolute; there’s always someone in this world who can find ways to solve these problems.
The Great Five Elements Life and Death Scripture, which Zheng Yi possessed, is just such a technique.
Limited by talent, most ordinary people can only use this technique to solve their Spirit Root conflicts.
For the vast majority of cultivators, to have two or even three spirit roots is remarkable; having all five elemental powers in one person...
According to Zheng Yi’s understanding, probably only the creator of the "Great Five Elements Life and Death Scripture" had achieved that.
Although cultivating all five elements simultaneously greatly increased his power rapidly.
Cultivation was not something achieved overnight, and Zheng Yi didn’t expect to break through to the Crystal Stage reaching the Golden Core in just a few hours.
The reason he advanced two levels earlier, even breaking through a major realm.
Primarily because of his previous massive accumulation.
Coupled with the fact that the concentration of Spiritual Qi in the Canglan Realm was much stronger than in his original world, so he gained a breakthrough by coincidence.
There is no hope for such luck again now.
Breaking through from Foundation Establishment to Crystal Stage and from Crystal Stage to Golden Core Stage are entirely different matters.
At this moment, Zheng Yi’s only goal is to use the Tribulation Thunder left in his meridians during his tribulation to temper his body and stabilize his realm as much as possible.
