“It’s vitality!”
A moment later, Qin Xuan reacted.
At this moment, in addition to Spiritual Qi, an incredibly vast amount of vitality was continuously pouring into his body!
This vitality was constantly expanding his Meridians and Dantian.
Under the blessing of this vitality, his already indistinct Bottleneck instantly vanished.
“Boom!”
Qin Xuan’s Dantian instantly expanded more than ten times, and the originally full Dantian suddenly became almost depleted.
The already massive Spiritual Qi vortex immediately expanded, and countless Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi from all around began to frantically pour into his body.
The huge funnel formed by the Spiritual Qi vortex almost completely extracted the nearby Spiritual Qi and vitality.
“Huh?”
At the same time, on a Cloud Boat hundreds of miles away, an old man suddenly frowned, looking at a dark mountain range with surprise and uncertainty.
“Senior, is something happening? Is it that person?”
Several attendants who had been following the old man hastily asked.
Hearing this, the old man shook his head slightly.
“It’s not that person’s movement. I just sensed that the Spiritual Qi in the mountains seemed to have changed, which is why I found it strange. No matter, perhaps an Advanced Spirit Beast had a Breakthrough.”
The old man looked on in surprise for a long time, then shook his head again and continued to close his eyes to rest.
Although the others found it a bit strange when they heard the old man say this, they eventually stopped and said nothing more.
“Whew!”
Qin Xuan excitedly clenched his fists.
Profound Earth Fourth Realm, reached!
However, when he looked down at the dozens of High-Grade Spirit Stones that had turned into powder, he gave another helpless bitter smile.
“Qin Xuan, the Spiritual Qi you need for this advancement is simply too vast!”
Han Ye said in surprise.
The Spiritual Qi Qin Xuan needed for his advancement just now was truly terrifying!
The Spiritual Qi from dozens of High-Grade Spirit Stones had been completely absorbed by him.
Not only that, the movement of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi in this vicinity was also so terrifying.
Perhaps, this boy will truly have boundless prospects in the future!
Han Ye thought as he spoke.
Qin Xuan also felt a wave of helplessness.
Although his Spiritual Qi was incredibly vast, allowing him to easily be invincible among those of the same Realm.
However, this invincibility at the same Realm required this incredibly vast Spiritual Qi.
“With such profound Spiritual Qi, you must be invincible among those of the same Realm, I suppose.”
Han Ye said, his voice very serious.
Hearing this, Qin Xuan just gave a bitter smile.
“There are naturally pros and cons. Each advancement requires an incredibly vast amount of Spiritual Qi. I’m truly afraid that one day the Spiritual Qi needed for advancement will be so immense that I won’t be able to advance.”
Qin Xuan had already realized this problem; vast Spiritual Qi was not necessarily entirely a good thing.
He now needed so much Spiritual Qi just to advance to the Profound Earth Fourth Realm.
In the future, if he wanted to advance to the Tian Xuan Realm, or even to the Three Clarity Realm, the Spiritual Qi needed would be simply enormous.
This couldn't be solved by just relying on High-Grade Spirit Stones.
“This is indeed a problem, but perhaps there isn’t no solution…”
Just then, Han Ye suddenly spoke to Qin Xuan.
Hearing this, Qin Xuan’s eyes immediately lit up.
It seemed Han Ye was about to tell him something.
“Oh, Senior, do you have something to say?”
Hearing this, Han Ye remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking.
“Young Master, have you heard of Secret Realm ruins?”
Hearing this, Qin Xuan was startled, then remembered that Xiao Ruyan had given him a token before.
That was the Xuanwu Secret Realm token.
“I’ve heard some names, but I don’t know what the situation is like inside. But how does this relate to my Cultivation?”
“Since that’s the case, I’ll introduce it to you, Young Master.”
Han Ye said, then explained to Qin Xuan.
“Young Master, do you know what era it is now?”
Hearing this, Qin Xuan was startled.
“Of course, it’s the thirty-second year of Emperor Xianwen of the Great Gan now…”
Before Qin Xuan could finish speaking, Han Ye interrupted him.
“Young Master, this is merely the current division of decades. I’m talking about divisions of hundreds of thousands or even millions of years. Do you know about those, Young Master?”
Millions of years of division?
Qin Xuan himself was stunned.
He really didn’t know about this method of division.
“If measured in millions or even tens of millions of years, from the beginning of heaven and earth to today, it can be divided into: the Primordial Ancient, Ancient Era, Distant Ancient, Middle Ancient, and Near Ancient, these five Ancient Eras.”
“At the beginning of the Primordial Ancient, Heaven and Earth were filled with Spiritual Qi, so dense that it even formed Spiritual Liquid covering the entire land. This era was also known as the era of myriad Prodigies.”
“In this era, all races contended for supremacy. The Human Race only appeared in the final period of the Primordial Ancient. It can be said that at first, the Human Race was not the spirit of all races, and could even only survive in remote corners.”
“Afterward, the Primordial Ancient mysteriously disappeared from history for some unknown reason. After an unknown number of years passed, it was the Ancient Era.”
“The Spiritual Qi in the Ancient Era was thinner than in the Primordial Ancient, and in each subsequent era, the Spiritual Qi became increasingly scarce…”
“Someone like Young Master in the Primordial Ancient Era wouldn’t have to worry about insufficient Spiritual Qi at all.”
As Han Ye spoke, Qin Xuan frowned slightly in confusion.
“But what does this have to do with now? There are no Spiritual Liquid pools everywhere now.”
Qin Xuan was puzzled.
“So, this is the key point I want to make. Although the Primordial Ancient Era has ended, some remnants of the Primordial Ancient Era still exist in this world. They are called Secret Realm ruins.”
“Even the worst ruins from the Primordial Ancient Era are a paradise for Cultivators, containing countless Treasure Troves and Spiritual Qi.”
“Currently, Young Master can rely on these Spirit Stones to enhance your strength, but once your cultivation increases and more Spiritual Qi is needed, Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and Spirit Stones will not be enough. Then, Young Master can seek out these Secret Realms to enhance your strength!”
So that’s how it is!
Qin Xuan nodded.
He was worrying about what to do if Spiritual Qi became insufficient in the future.
After all, if he only relied on absorbing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to improve his strength, once his Realm became higher, the speed of improvement would be very slow.
If he could find these Secret Realms, it would surely be of great benefit to the improvement of his Cultivation.
“Then, Senior, do you know where there might be Secret Realms?”
Hearing Qin Xuan ask this, Han Ye chuckled softly.
“I know quite a few Secret Realms. Our current understanding of the eras that once existed is all gained through these Secret Realms.”
“However, because these Secret Realms are all passed down from those Ancient Eras, they are not entirely safe. Many places are still very dangerous, so full preparation must be made before entering a Secret Realm.”
“But you don’t need to rush now. It’ll be timely enough to prepare when your Cultivation is higher.”
Hearing this, Qin Xuan smiled helplessly.
He did want to wait, but the Saintess of the Shindao Sect might not give him the time.
Xuanwu Secret Realm…
It seems he needs to find some time to thoroughly investigate what this Secret Realm is about.
However, the most urgent task at hand was to escape from here first.
“Night is when these Spirit Beasts are active. To be safe, it’s better not to go out.”
After some deliberation, Qin Xuan immediately began to Cultivate his Cultivation Technique and study the Yu Dao Secret Method.
After tasting the sweetness of rapid progress, Qin Xuan became increasingly serious about learning the Yu Dao Secret Method.
The next day, as soon as dawn broke, Qin Xuan left the cave.
As soon as he stepped out of the cave, Qin Xuan froze on the spot.
At this moment, all the vegetation within a hundred zhang outside the cave had withered and turned yellow, completely devoid of vitality.
“This…”
“Could it be that all the vitality of the plants and trees nearby was absorbed by me last night?”
