Skysoar Realm! Who wouldn't want to reach this realm as soon as possible? The moment one reached that realm, one would gain an ability to fly and undergo a complete change in status, akin to the transformation from a carp to a dragon.

Zi Changhe was already a late-stage Transformation Realm cultivator back when he was at the Martial Hall Palace. After receiving a high-level cultivation method from Xiang Shaoyun, he was able to advance three stages in two years, reaching peak Transformation Realm, getting infinitely closer to the Skysoar Realm.

Recently, he had been hesitating whether he should attempt a breakthrough, as he had a feeling he would have a chance to succeed if he was supplied with enough spirit crystals. But his master disagreed with taking the risk. Instead, he was suggested to take two or three more years consolidating his cultivation base. After building a firmer foundation, he could then attempt the breakthrough.

That was a very safe and stable way of growth, and it had the lowest amount of risk. But Xiang Shaoyun was actually telling him to attempt a breakthrough within the month, which caused him to start hesitating again. Should he listen to his master or should he listen to Xiang Shaoyun?

”The earlier you break through, the more beneficial it would be for your future cultivation. The higher the cultivation level you reach when young, the more perfect your spirit, flesh, and vitality will be. It will be of great help when pursuing the Emperor Realm, or even the Sovereign Realm,” said Xiang Shaoyun firmly.

”I-is that even possible for me?” Zi Changhe trembled. He had never even dreamed of reaching the Emperor Realm.

”Why not? You think those Emperors were born Emperors? They have merely relied on astonis.h.i.+ng talent, firm willpower, and hard work to reach that realm. Senior brother, you are still young. If you can enter the Skysoar Realm now, you will have a wider path ahead of you. The longer you wait, the narrower your future path will be,” said Xiang Shaoyun.

Xiang Shaoyun was not a Skysoar Realm cultivator and definitely not an almighty Emperor Realm cultivator. However, he was far more knowledgeable than Zi Changhe. As Zi Changhe listened on, he appeared visibly moved as he found himself believing almost everything Xiang Shaoyun was telling him.

”Senior brother, do you have any other misgivings that make you hesitate?” asked Xiang Shaoyun.

Zi Changhe hesitated slightly and said, ”You may be right, but I am completely unprepared for a breakthrough attempt right now.”

”You're worried about spirit crystals?” Xiang Shaoyun asked.

An awkward look covered Zi Changhe's face as he said, ”I can ask for some spirit crystals from my master, but my master recommends that I only attempt the breakthrough after two or three years.”

No matter what, he still couldn't fully commit to it. Xiang Shaoyun pondered for a bit and said, ”Come to my place, senior brother. We'll talk about it.”

Zi Changhe agreed and went along to Xiang Shaoyun's estate. At the estate, Xiang Shaoyun brought Zi Changhe into his private cultivation room. Before Zi Changhe could say anything, strands of innate purple lightning surged out of Xiang Shaoyun's body. Zi Changhe's eyes instantly widened when he sensed the pure power of natural lightning coming from Xiang Shaoyun's body.

”T-this is...innate purple lightning!” Zi Changhe cried out in alarm.

”Good eyes, senior brother. That's right. This is the innate purple lightning. With my innate purple lightning and these mid-grade spirit crystals serving as the foundation for your breakthrough attempt, will it be enough?” said Xiang Shaoyun while taking out a few thousand mid-grade spirit crystals.

These were not the spirit crystals he had earned from Xie Sanqian. Rather, they were the crystals he had traded for using his top-quality goldsteel stones. He hadn't spent them all during the previous auction.

Staring at the pile of mid-grade spirit crystals, Zi Changhe was stunned. He had a feeling not even his master could afford giving him that many spirit crystals for a breakthrough attempt. These were mid-grade spirit crystals, not some ordinary low-grade spirit crystals.

”Shaoyun, are you sure?” Zi Changhe had an unreal feeling.
