Chapter 392: Chapter 68: Great Harvest, Xuanlong Technique!

After so much effort, I’ve finally ascended to the Awakening Vein Realm!

Luo Cheng felt the heavenly wind, his emotions stirred and difficult to calm, with an urge to throw his head back and howl at the sky!

Breaking through to the Awakening Vein Realm—this is a crucial step on the path of cultivation, and its significance is immeasurable!

Whether it’s the Body Tempering Realm, the Transcendence Realm, or the Tongxuan Realm, they are all collectively referred to as martial artists.

Merely mundane warriors of the secular world, differing only in strength and weakness!

Once one’s cultivation breaks through to the Awakening Vein Realm, they are respectfully regarded as spiritual practitioners!

The difference between the two is fundamental.

Stepping beyond this threshold means never being a mere mortal again, accomplishing feats that ordinary people deem miraculous!

Sky crossing void, flying through the air, manipulating objects from a distance, transmitting sound over a thousand miles, commanding water, fire, lightning...

Finally entering the wondrous gateway to true cultivation, even in the entire Great Yue Dynasty, this counts as being amongst the minor elite!

Disciples of the Three Sects who achieve this can also join the Inner Sect for cultivation, becoming the backbone of the sect and receiving benefits more than tenfold higher than Outer Sect disciples.

It’s no exaggeration to say that breaking through to the Awakening Vein Realm is the ultimate dream of countless martial artists!

"Let’s see what’s going on with the Xuan Vein!"

Overwhelmed with excitement, Luo Cheng attempted to circulate Essence Energy.

Immediately he felt a dragon of Essence Energy and a ferocious tiger of Essence Energy within his body!

As the Essence Energy surged, both explosiveness and speed greatly surpassed before, with a mysterious spiritual quality as natural as his own arms, utterly extraordinary.

Buzz!

Luo Cheng assumed the opening stance of the Heavenly Cauldron Fist, causing his robe to instantly billow as Essence Energy transformed into a small cauldron with three legs and two ears.

The intricate symbols on the cauldron glimmered and shimmered, seeming both real and illusory, evoking a strong sense of authenticity!

Before he even threw a punch, an awe-inspiring domineering aura emerged from his body, sweeping out in all directions like a raging storm.

Howl!

The demon beasts in the forest below whimpered in distress, trembling as they gazed at Luo Cheng.

Though his small frame appeared as mountainous grandeur to them, they tucked their tails between their legs and fled!

Luo Cheng chuckled awkwardly, restraining his aura.

Awakening Vein Realm experts are referred to as spiritual practitioners.

The key lies in the concept of "spirituality"!

The Xuan Vein connects to three gates, allowing cultivators to unify essence, body, and spirit! freewёbnoνel-com

As Essence Energy circulates through the Xuan Vein and completes its circulation, it merges with the cultivator’s essence, qi, and spirit. When a move is executed, the cultivator’s spiritual imprint is embedded within.

Gradually, they reach a state where seeing a mountain is seeing a mountain, and seeing water is seeing water!

This is the embryonic stage of "momentum"!

It’s also the source of an Awakening Vein expert’s true power.

Just like the Mystic Eagle Three Swords technique utilized by Blood Eagle.

The Sword Qi transforms into eagle talons—exuding an ancient, primal sense of mysticism, as if awakening the spirit of an ancestral eagle, imposing enormous mental pressure that leaves one incapable of resistance.

If not for Luo Cheng’s formidable soul power, he wouldn’t have been able to fully exert his strength against this move and would have already perished on the spot!

After savoring the exhilaration of gliding through the air, Luo Cheng calmed his thrilled emotions and returned to the mountain cave.

"Let’s see what I’ve gained!"

Sitting cross-legged, Luo Cheng retrieved Blood Eagle’s storage ring, his eyes alight with anticipation.

Blood Eagle was a mid-stage Awakening Vein expert, so his wealth was unquestionably remarkable.

However, opening the storage ring this time proved to be no easy task.

Awakening Vein experts utilize Soul Power and typically leave a Soul Power mark inside their storage rings.

Aside from the owner, the mark must be erased to access the contents.

For Luo Cheng now, this task was not challenging. Within half an hour, he successfully wiped away Blood Eagle’s Soul Power mark.

The results did not disappoint!

Indeed, Blood Eagle’s wealth was substantial.

In addition to several boxes of gold notes and various miscellaneous elixirs and items, there was also a chest full of soul crystals.

The total count was fifty or sixty crystals, including five four-star soul crystals!

This excited Luo Cheng slightly.

Having ascended to the Awakening Vein Realm, his ability to consume Martial Soul Beast Souls had dramatically improved, making soul crystals invaluable!

The more Martial Soul Beast Souls he consumed, the stronger his Martial Soul would become, accelerating his cultivation speed!

Beyond the soul crystals, Luo Cheng also discovered several chests full of Essence Energy Pills.

A hasty count revealed a total of four to five thousand pills!

That’s equivalent to forty to fifty million taels.

This was no insignificant fortune!

His total wealth was comparable to this sum.

It had effectively doubled!

What Luo Cheng did not know was this:

Of these four to five thousand Essence Energy Pills, three thousand were the deposit Sun Yingyang had paid to have him assassinated!

Now, they were in Luo Cheng’s pocket.

Within the storage ring, Luo Cheng also found two Meridian Opening Pills and the map he had given Blood Eagle.

Carefully inspecting the Meridian Opening Pills and map to ensure no traces of Green Essence Blood Activating Powder remained, Luo Cheng finally felt at ease.

Taking up the map, Luo Cheng gazed at the crescent-shaped peaks depicted and recalled Blood Eagle’s words.

"The Great Li Dynasty’s Crescent Moon Peak... I wonder what secrets this map holds."

Back then, Luo Cheng had retrieved the map solely to deceive Blood Eagle.

To ensure Blood Eagle made more frequent contact with the Green Essence Blood Activating Pill.

Unexpectedly, Blood Eagle actually recognized the peaks shown on the map.

"Could this truly be a treasure map..."

Furrowing his brow, Luo Cheng pondered for a moment, then let out a soft breath, putting the thought aside.

Whether it was a treasure map or not could be determined with a single visit.

However, the Great Li Dynasty and the Great Chu Dynasty are famed as part of the Yunlan Domain’s three great dynasties.

Located in the central region of the Yunlan Domain, it was thousands of miles away from the Great Yue Dynasty, separated by countless perilous lands and treacherous zones.

With Luo Cheng’s current cultivation realm, he wasn’t yet capable of venturing there, so he decided to leave it for the future.

Carefully stowing the map away, Luo Cheng’s face broke into a smile, his eyes glowing brightly.

"Speaking of which, I should thank Jin Min this time."

This was the truth—if not for Jin Min arranging for Elder Xue Yun to harm him with Green Essence Blood Activating Pills,

intending to ruin his reputation at the Three Sects Martial Arts Competition!

He wouldn’t have obtained the Green Essence Blood Activating Pills.

Without the Green Essence Blood Activating Pill, how would he have evaded Blood Eagle’s pursuit and even turned the tables to kill Blood Eagle, acquiring such vast wealth!

He had even perfected the Mist Shadow Step,

and broke through to the Awakening Vein Realm.

Furthermore, he had learned the secrets of this map!

This had practically been an immense harvest!

The only regret for Luo Cheng was that he hadn’t awakened his Martial Soul Divine Power upon breaking through to the Awakening Vein Realm.

However, awakening Martial Soul Divine Power is extremely rare.

What he awakened was still an unformed Martial Soul...

After a brief moment of disappointment, Luo Cheng didn’t dwell on it.

Even Hua Jingyang, who awakened Martial Soul Divine Power, had fallen to his sword.

Luo Cheng was confident that if he encountered Hua Jingyang now, he could defeat him with a single sword strike, effortlessly!

Even if he ran into Blood Eagle, he now had enough strength to hold his ground and no longer face a one-sided outcome.

"Cultivation is the foundation; everything else is merely icing on the cake."

Luo Cheng muttered to himself, staring at the two Meridian Opening Pills in his hand, pondering:

"I have nine paths of Essence Energy Spiritual Light. So far, I’ve only completed mastering the first one to open the Xuan Vein. Since no one will disturb me here, I might as well continue cultivating in seclusion for a while, until my cultivation is thoroughly stabilized before returning!"

"That’s right, having ascended to the Awakening Vein Realm, I can begin practicing the second layer of the All Heavens Dragon Control Technique, the Xuanlong Technique! I wonder how powerful it will be!"

Feeling no trace of fatigue, Luo Cheng immediately decided to continue cultivating.
