Chapter 1055 - Closed-Door Cultivation (2/2)

Gradually, the Sky Sword Sect began challenging the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion, increasing the frequency of skirmishes with the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion.

But because they were fearful of Xue Ying, the provocation by Sky Sword Sect wasn’t extensive either. The truly formidable experts were not willing to act because they weren’t confident of dealing against ‘Xue Ying’ one-on-one! It sufficed for them to provoke ‘Xue Ying’ to appear. By then, they could kill him in one fell swoop!

According to the orders given by Xue Ying, Marquis Qu Ming did not disturb him either if there were no crucial matters.

Hence, Xue Ying’s closed-door cultivation happened really peacefully.

‘After entering closed-door cultivation for over 300,000 years, even though I haven’t grasped the ‘Origin Phase’, I am reaching grand perfection in the pinnacle of void-ification.’ Xue Ying held onto the light green bottle. The corpses of the insects with the void lineage all flew into the bottle. Following that, Xue Ying corked the bottle before keeping it. He then stood up and walk out.

“Hong long long~”

The door opened.

Xue Ying came out. He stood within the courtyard looking out into the sky. It was night. This Realm Heart Great Land was very different from the Primal Chaos Void. There was no sun and moonlight here. At night, only the nation protecting arrays of Fiery Zhao Capital were releasing light, barely lighting up the place.

‘Pinnacle of void-ification?’ Xue Ying sighed.

These void insects gave him great inspirations regarding void-ification. He had improved dramatically in this aspect, reaching an unfathomable stage in it. Xue Ying estimated that he should likely be comparable to his teacher Gu Qi in this area already. He only lacked the final bit before achieving his goal.

As for his control of the void-ification, Xue Ying felt he had surpassed that of all the void insects.

‘Right now, I only needed a minor comprehension that would allow me to break the final obstacle…’ Xue Ying’s mind went back to the scaled-armor of General Mo Gu. Because only the mysterious inscriptions on that scaled-armor were of the Primal Chaos Realm and had reached pure grand perfection! It was concise and filled with an odd sense of completeness. Those inscriptions were even more concise than the void-ification technique Monarch Nine Cloud and Void Primogenitor had.

Even though the void insects had their own unique points, none had reached the pinnacle of void-ification. Instead, they were used as a reference for Xue Ying to think in different directions.

‘I lack just the final bit.’

Xue Ying bitterly pondered for a moment before throwing it to the back of his mind.

‘Origin Phase?’

Xue Ying felt helpless.

The pinnacle of void-ification was truly difficult! Even Southern Cloud King and Monarch Nine Cloud had not created a cultivation technique that would allow them to genuinely grasp the pinnacle of void-ification at Primal Chaos Realm. Of course, they did not have opportunities that Xue Ying had either–to study the scaled-armor of General Mo Gu. Void Primogenitor might be able to succeed in this after given sufficient time, but it’s a pity Xue Ying could not go back temporarily.

But the ‘Origin Phase’ was comparatively more straightforward.

He only needed to reach small success in it! He did not have to achieve large success or grand perfection!

‘I’ve researched too many void insects already, and have pondered over many directions too. This has instead messed up my heart. I only needed to reach small success ultimately.’ Xue Ying thought, ‘I must stay calm and choose the direction which I am the most confident of. By then, I should be able to achieve it.’

“Brother Xue Ying.”

Marquis Qu Ming rushed over. He sensed it at the first moment when Xue Ying’s palace door opened.

“Marquis Qu Ming, I’ll go out and have a walk.” Xue Ying said, “To have a stroll.”

“Be careful. It is still fine within the sacred palace, but who knows if the Sky Sword Sect might deal against you in the dark.” Marquis Qu Ming reminded him.

“Relax.”

Xue Ying smiled. He was clearly not worried at all.

After all, Xue Ying looked forward to a battle in his heart. It would at least give him sufficient pressure that might just be the straw that would allow him to break through!

…

As Xue Ying stealthily left the Southern Cloud Sacred Palace and walked on the streets of Fiery Zhao Capital in the dark, even though it was night, many shops were still opened along the streets. The restaurants remained as crowded as ever. After all, to cultivators, there was no difference between night and day.

And there were already scouts assigned in the surroundings by the Sky Sword Sect.

“We discovered Ying Shan Xue Ying.”

“Ying Shan Xue Ying has appeared.”

“He has left the Southern Cloud Sacred Palace by himself.”

Many pieces of information were reported upwards at that instance.
