Chapter 104 Ascending to the Throne; Yao Xixue Challenges Her
"What did you say?"
"Late-stage Great Perfection of the Shattered Nirvana Realm?"
Yao Xixue was completely stunned.
The second step in cultivation is divided into three realms: Yin Void, Yang Realm, Nirvana Glimpse, Pure Nirvana, and Shattered Nirvana.
Shattered Nirvana is the final stage of the second step in cultivation.
This is similar to reaching the pinnacle of one's position in the first step of cultivation.
A cultivator who reaches the Great Perfection stage is capable of controlling a level six cultivation kingdom and becoming the master of a cultivation star.
Meanwhile, cultivators at the late-stage Great Perfection of the Shattered Nirvana realm are regional overlords within the star field.
Even within the Cultivation Alliance, he held a respectable position and could even manage to secure a place among the alliance's elders.
In the Cultivation Alliance, the Alliance Elders Council is the true pinnacle of power.
Everyone who can enter the Alliance Elder Council is a top-tier expert of their time.
Her father was only at the mid-stage of the Pure Nirvana realm, still a whole realm away from the Shattered Nirvana realm.
According to legend, Tianyunzi, the master of Tianyun Star, is a late-stage Shattered Nirvana expert.
To Yao Xixue's shock, this Yuan Power Crystal was actually formed from such a terrifying ferocious beast.
The fact that only beasts of this level can produce them indicates that their numbers are not many, and could even be described as extremely rare.
After all, Shattered Nirvana cultivators are extremely rare in the universe, practically as rare as phoenix feathers.
In any case, the only person Yao Xixue knows right now is Tian Yunzi.
After this experience, Yao Xixue no longer dared to underestimate Qin Hao.
Yao Xixue looked at Qin Hao and asked, "Young Master Qin, I intend to attempt the quest for the throne today. Would you be willing to protect me?"
Qin Hao did not answer immediately, but looked at Li Muwan beside him.
Li Muwan said, "Sister Xue is asking you, 'Why are you looking at me like that?'"
Qin Hao said with a smile, "Of course, this is to ask for my wife's opinion. If my wife agrees, I agree; if my wife refuses, I refuse!"
"Eek~"
Yao Xixue rolled her eyes and pouted, "I can't stand you two, it's so cheesy!"
"whee!"
Li Muwan smiled, her eyes crinkling, and said, "Since Sister Xue wants to use you, then I'll lend you to her!"
……
Inside the house.
Yao Xixue and Qin Hao sat facing each other.
"I'm starting!"
As Yao Xixue spoke, she took out the Yuan Crystal.
In the hundreds of years since she came to Vermilion Bird Star, her artistic conception has been completely perfected and is now merging with her own immortal power.
Once the artistic conception has been perfected, one can naturally begin to strive for the ultimate goal.
Reaching the pinnacle is a major hurdle for cultivators!
If I hear the Way in the morning, I can die content in the evening!
One wrong move and you'll be dead!
However, that applies to ordinary cultivators.
For cultivators who are well-prepared, reaching this level can be achieved at any time.
When one's cultivation reaches the pinnacle, a pinnacle crystal will condense within one's primordial spirit.
It can be said that this Crystal of Ascension will become the heart and source of power for the primordial spirit.
"The first step is to ignite one's own immortal power and refine one's own artistic conception!"
Yao Xixue closed her eyes, her hand seals shifting as she ignited her own immortal power.
"Take off!"
In an instant, a terrifying flame appeared within Yao Xixue's body, heading towards the realm of intent within her primordial spirit.
This flame was a celestial fire, extremely powerful. As soon as it appeared, it made Yao Xixue frown.
When the immortal fire ignited, it not only refined Yao Xixue's artistic conception, but also tempered her primordial spirit.
For a cultivator to reach the pinnacle, they must not only condense the Crystal of Ascension, but also completely fuse their primordial spirit and artistic conception into one.
In this way, a cultivator's primordial spirit becomes their artistic conception, and any supernatural power or technique they use can carry the power of that artistic conception.
If the artistic conception continues to evolve, it will become the source power, ultimately helping the cultivator achieve the third step of great power.
To ordinary people, Yao Xixue hadn't changed much.
However, in Qin Hao's eyes, there was an invisible immortal fire burning inside Yao Xixue's body, a truly astonishing sight.
As the flames burned brighter and brighter, Yao Xixue's artistic conception began to melt away, gradually merging with her primordial spirit.
When the artistic conception completely melts away, it transforms into a chaotic energy.
This gas is called vital energy.
Vital energy continuously condenses within the primordial spirit, transforming into a pool of crystal-clear liquid.
Generally speaking, at this point, the immortal fire that burns the primordial spirit should slowly dissipate.
As the flames completely disappear, the primordial liquid crystallizes, forming the Crystal of Ascension.
However, at Yao Xixue's place, the immortal fire not only did not dissipate, but instead became even more terrifying, as this immortal fire was preventing the birth of the Crystal of Ascension.
As time went on, the originally illusory celestial fire even transformed into a real flame.
The immortal fire is now capable of harming Yao Xixue's physical body.
"Bang!"
In an instant, Yao Xixue's clothes turned to ashes, revealing a graceful fairy body.
"Hurry up and refine and absorb the elemental crystal!"
Seeing this, Qin Hao couldn't help but warn, "If you allow the immortal fire to continue burning, you will perish completely!"
"I need to suppress the immortal fire with all my might, and I am unable to refine it. I beg Young Master Qin for your help!"
Yao Xixue transmitted her voice in anguish.
"this……"
Qin Hao hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
He grasped the Yuan Crystal, activated the Dao Ancient Technique, and began to refine the Yuan Crystal into Yuan Qi.
Under Qin Hao's refinement, wisps of chaotic primordial energy immediately emerged from this primordial crystal.
"go!"
Qin Hao controlled his vital energy, which penetrated Yao Xixue's body and entered her primordial spirit.
With the arrival of this vital energy, the immortal flames were suppressed, and their intensity decreased.
At this moment, the liquid primordial energy within Yao Xixue's primordial spirit finally began to crystallize.
And with the continuous infusion of vital energy, it completely transformed into a crystal destined for the pinnacle.
Yao Xixue's current prize is only the size of a fingernail.
This is also the size of the vast majority of cultivators who have reached the pinnacle.
However, Qin Hao did not stop refining the Yuan Crystal and continued to help Yao Xixue refine it.
As Yao Xixue absorbed the energy, her elemental crystal began to expand in size.
It swelled until it reached the size of a walnut before finally stopping.
Yao Xixue slowly opened her eyes, and a powerful aura immediately surged out from her body.
Now, her cultivation has finally reached the early stage of the Ascension Realm.
This level of strength would qualify him as a top-tier expert in any level six cultivation nation.
Even in a seventh-level cultivation country, he would be considered a formidable expert.
"Thank you for your help!"
Yao Xixue first thanked him, then her eyes gleamed with intense fighting spirit as she said, "Young Master Qin, would you dare to spar with me? Just a contest of supernatural powers and techniques!"
In her view, having successfully reached the pinnacle, even if her cultivation level wasn't as high as Qin Hao's, it shouldn't be too far off.
This time, she certainly won't be easily won over like last time.
"What is there to be afraid of?"
Qin Hao was not afraid at all.
With his current physical strength, as long as the opponent doesn't use any immortal techniques, he could probably withstand the opponent's full-force attacks without sustaining any injuries.
"Let's go to the outer reaches of space for a battle!"
As Yao Xixue spoke, she rode a star compass, soaring into the sky.
Qin Hao, riding a thunder beast, transformed into a golden bolt of lightning and followed closely behind.
