Chapter 91: Half a Year Passes (2/2)

He had learned the rage punch from one of them. If only he had known this language back then, he would have been able to uncover many, many more secrets..

Therefore, when it was time to study the languages of the ancient beasts and titans, not only did he not have a problem with it, he was even extremely eager learn about them.

Wu Ji was quite pleased with his hard-working attitude.

During the day, he would learn from Wu Ji about the languages of the two great races, as well as why Qi warriors existed, and the applications of the three types of strength.

In the night, he would cultivate diligently using the Qi Refining Incantation to expand his spiritual sea. In the process, he would take advantage of the spirit stones that Wu Ji had bestowed upon him.

Every few days, a Thunder Beast would descend from the sky and throw him a second grade spirit beast as food.

As soon as it left the food, it would swoop back into the sky before vanishing into the clouds in a flash.

It had been extremely difficult for him to get the meat of a second grade spirit beast in the Green Illusion dimension.

However, after coming to this place, second grade spirit beast meat had become his everyday meal.

Following Wu Ji’s instructions, he didn’t use the energy produced by the second grade spirit beast meat to expand his spiritual sea.

Instead, he allowed it to naturally disperse into his flesh and merge into his bones and inner organs.

That was because the low grade spirit stones which he used to cultivate during the night already contained enough spiritual energy of the heaven and earth for him to use to gradually expand his spiritual sea.

Time flew… In the blink of an eye, he had already cultivated under Wu Ji’s instructions for half a year.

By now, his spiritual sea had expanded to the limits of the ninth level of Qi Refining!

He was only one step away from breaking through the bottleneck and entering the Lesser Heaven stage.

After consuming the meat of second grade spirit beasts for half a year, he had grown taller and even more robust. Moreover, the fluctuations of life within him had become significantly more vigorous than cultivators at the same stage as himself.

His psychic power could now cover a range of 300 meters.

One morning, following his usual routine, Nie Tian once again planned to go to Wu Ji’s cottage to listen to him explain matters pertinent to breaking through from the Qi Refining stage into the Lesser Heaven stage.

During the past three days, Wu Ji no longer talked about the respective features of spiritual power, bloodline power, and soul power, but rather focused on instructing him how to break through the bottleneck and step into the Lesser Heaven stage.

To Nie Tian’s surprise, Wu Ji walked out of his thatched cottage, and said to him, “I’ve already told you everything there’s to say about the transition from the Qi Refining stage into the Lesser Heaven stage. For the rest, you’ll have to explore by yourself.

“This is the first bottleneck you’ll encounter on your path of cultivation. You’ll meet many more in the future. You can’t make the breakthrough by cultivating blindly. Instead, you’ll need to draw upon your own experience and comprehension.

“You’ve stayed here for half a year already. It’s time that you went out and explored. You’ll benefit from it.

“The Spiritual Treasure sect is holding a grand convention. I’ll have the Thunder Beast take you there. Here, take this command medallion. Show it to them at the Spiritual Treasure sect and they’ll let you take up to three items; you can choose anything you like.

“Before you reach the Lesser Heaven stage, there is no need to learn about spiritual tools. Due to your current insufficient cultivation base and spiritual power, there is absolutely no way for you to bring out the full potential of a spiritual tool.

“You can learn how to wield them when you enter the Lesser Heaven stage.”

With these words, Wu Ji waved his hand towards the sky.

A low-pitched cry echoed out from within the clouds, and in the next moment, a giant eagle-like Thunder Beast landed in front of them.

It was dark-green in color, wreathed in numerous fine lightning bolts, and within its deep, green eyes, lightning flickered from time to time.

With a flap of its wings, the lightning that covered its entire body entered into its body like little snakes.

“Go,” said Wu Ji. “It’ll take you to the Spiritual Treasure sect.”

Nie Tian took the command medallion, which had the ‘Ji’ character carved into it, and carefully climbed onto the Thunder Beast’s back.

The Thunder Beast seemed to be somewhat unwilling and slightly twisted its body. That small movement almost shook Nie Tian off its back.

With a cold snort, Wu Ji looked towards the Thunder Beast and said, “Don’t feel wronged. You’ll need Nie Tian’s help one day!”

The Thunder Beast’s eyes glittered with light of intelligence. After hearing Wu Ji’s words, it seemed to be slightly puzzled, unable to comprehend what he meant.

“Take Nie Tian to the Spiritual Treasure sect,” Wu Ji said with a scolding tone. “You’d better not cause trouble on your way there, or I won’t let you off easily!”

The Thunder Beast let out a discontented bellow and stopped moving around, waiting for Nie Tian get a firm hold. Only then did it flap its wings and soar up into the sky.
