Chapter 576: Chapter 313 “Through the Millennia” and “A Glimpse into Deity Transformation”_2

“`

If an Earth Spiritual Root were born into an ancient immortal family, with countless resources available from birth and cultivation taking place in spaces with Seventh or Eighth Stage Spiritual Veins,

there would be no need to worry about anything while continuously cultivating, and no need to mention breaking through to the Nascent Soul—in fact, it is even possible to cultivate to the Deity Transformation Realm or even higher realms.

Unfortunately, in the Cultivation Realm, very few possess such conditions for cultivation.

At least the majority of Earth Spiritual Root Cultivators have to struggle and fight for every step of their cultivation journey.

Even if they have resources, they won’t be excessively abundant.

Suddenly, the fire of spiritual power burst forth.

Milton Cheney’s gaze was extremely calm.

He could feel the barrier that he had been perceiving was gradually being broken through by his spiritual power.

There’s no such thing as a barrier being instantly shattered by a burst; it was more like a steady flow.

Milton Cheney could achieve a burst in an instant, but that would most likely be meaningless.

The further one progresses in cultivation, the longer the time required to breakthrough bottlenecks.

It was already considered favorable at this time.

If one were to breakthrough from the Nascent Soul’s Great Perfection to the Deity Transformation Realm, that final step alone could consume several years or even more than a decade.

Breaking through a bottleneck has never been something accomplished in a single step.

It’s all about the accumulation of a solid base.

The Blazing Flame Crystal floating before Milton Cheney was growing dimmer and dimmer.

The pure spiritual power, condensed within the crystal for hundreds of thousands of years, was gradually disappearing.

This, of course, wasn’t just digested by Milton Cheney in one moment.

Over three hundred and fifty years, Milton Cheney had not only cultivated with the Power of Merit but also drew upon the pure spiritual power within the Blazing Flame Crystal.

Though this pure spiritual power was condensed within a small crystal, the spiritual power contained within was immensely vast.

Even for Milton Cheney, it took a full three hundred and fifty years to digest this Blazing Flame Crystal to its current state.

It can be said that if it weren’t for the Blazing Flame Crystal, Milton Cheney would have needed at least double the time to cultivate to his current level.

This doubling of time still assumes that he was cultivating using the Power of Merit.

Time slowly passed by.

One day, two days, three days.

One month, two months, three months.

The spiritual power within Milton Cheney became increasingly dense, and the Nascent Soul sitting cross-legged within his dantian became more and more lifelike.

Compared to when Milton Cheney first made his breakthrough to Nascent Soul, his Nascent Soul now resembled a real infant even more.

This infant seemed to possess a true body and was crossing from the ethereal to the tangible.

Finally, after four months and five days, the first crack appeared on the Blazing Flame Crystal floating in front of Milton Cheney.

This signified that the pure spiritual power within the crystal was nearly exhausted.

“Boom!!!”

Suddenly, an enormous boom resonated.

The sky-darkening flames burst open in an instant.

And the barrier that had been faint to Milton Cheney’s senses now shattered into fragments at that very moment.

Like a stone smashing glass, Milton Cheney seemed to hear the sound of it shattering by his ear.

The next moment, what had been steady spiritual power within him burst forth again.

Milton Cheney could clearly feel the difference in his spiritual power now.

From the latter stage of Nascent Soul to the Nascent Soul’s Great Perfection, his spiritual power increased by more than tenfold.

If the previous Milton Cheney’s spiritual power was a vast lake, his current power was like a small ocean.

The gap between the two was fundamentally different.

Milton Cheney felt a sense of perfection in his heart.

It was as if this was the limit that can be achieved upon reaching the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul, as if none who walked this path of cultivation could surpass this limit upon achieving Nascent Soul’s Great Perfection.

But the next moment, Milton Cheney suppressed this thought to the bottom of his heart.

Because it was illusory, not real.

It was just a feeling that arose from the surge of power after the breakthrough.

Milton Cheney wasn’t so vain as to think he was superior to all other cultivators at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul.

He might be stronger than a typical cultivator at the Nascent Soul’s Great Perfection, but surely not the strongest.

After all, this world has existed for who knows how many years, and there are countless individuals with gifted talents, including numerous cultivators who’ve ascended to the Immortal Realm after becoming Tribulation Crossing Loose Immortals.

When you extend the timeline, you realize that what the timeline lacks the least are the favored children of the heavens.

“`

Milton Cheney would not really regard himself as the Child of Destiny.

Compared to a true Child of Destiny, he, who had merged with two Reincarnation Simulations, could only be considered a fortunate one at most.

There are some things Milton Cheney can still see clearly.

He can be confident that there is absolutely no Nascent Soul Cultivator stronger than him in the Northern Thirteen Domains, but he would not be so arrogant as to think that this is the case throughout the entire Cultivation Realm.

After all, the Cultivation Realm is truly vast.

Even just the size of the light cluster representing this world within the Reincarnation Space is at least dozens of times larger than that of a wizard’s.

Nevertheless, he was already very satisfied.

After all, he only reincarnated into this world through a Reincarnation Simulation Opportunity.

Therefore, Milton Cheney didn’t need to demand of himself to be the best of all time at every Realm; even if he wished to, he wouldn’t have the capability.

In the history of this world, there have even been individuals born as true immortals.

Born as Tribulation Crossing Loose Immortals, and even directly taken in by the Immortal Realm.

Of course, the truth of this is debatable.

Whether it’s true or not, Milton Cheney doesn’t know, but it doesn’t have much to do with him either way.

“The Nascent Soul has reached Great Perfection; the last step towards becoming a Deity Transformation God Monarch depends solely on my own efforts, which may not even have a fifty percent chance of success if I cultivate to the limit.”

“I also don’t know how much Power of Merit it would take to forcibly open the doors to the Deity Transformation Realm.”

Above the Spiritual Veins, Milton Cheney, who had achieved Great Perfection in the Nascent Soul, thought to himself.

A fourth-stage early-level Spiritual Vein, to him at this time, was not much help anymore.

After making a breakthrough to the Nascent Soul’s Great Perfection, the amount of Spiritual Power needed for further improvement could be said to be an astronomical figure.

Unless Milton Cheney could drain all the Spiritual Veins within this Mystic Realm, the Spiritual Veins would no longer carry much significance for him.

By now, the Blazing Flame Crystal had already turned to powder and disappeared into this world.

To find a cultivation resource superior to a Blazing Flame Crystal Stone of ten thousand years is undoubtedly a fool’s dream.

Unless Milton Cheney uses the Power of Merit to forcibly construct an opportunity, even if he spent thousands of years searching for resources with similar effects, there may not be much to gain.

But he is not without anything.

With the [Five Viscera Spiritual Fire] to refine his Nascent Soul and body, coupled with the aid of the Power of Merit.

Perhaps he wouldn’t need a thousand years to reach the Limit of Nascent Soul’s Great Perfection.

Thinking of this, Milton Cheney did not slack off and continued with his cultivation.

……

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, eight hundred years have passed.

Within the Purple Melody Mystic Realm, Milton Cheney and the Blazing Sun True Monarch sat and exchanged insights.

There is a time for cultivation to be intense and a time to relax; naturally, Milton Cheney would not be cultivating strenuously for eight hundred years.

Luckily, the Blazing Flame True Monarch had successfully opened the gate to the mid-stage Nascent Soul just seven hundred years earlier and became a mid-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator.

This also gave Milton Cheney someone to converse with.

Furthermore, the Blazing Sun True Monarch and Milton Cheney both possessed fire attribute Spiritual Roots.

Although Milton Cheney was a level higher, the Blazing Sun True Monarch had also cultivated for nearly seven thousand years to date.

Thus, in their exchanges of insights, Milton Cheney also reaped considerable benefits.

“Have you really decided? Are you going to forcibly open the gate to Deity Transformation?” the Blazing Sun True Monarch asked with a complex tone.

He had anticipated Milton Cheney’s gifted talents but had not expected them to be so extraordinary.

In just over a thousand years, Milton Cheney had already reached the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul and was even on the verge of peering into the Deity Transformation Realm.

Their exchanges over the years had not only brought gains to Milton Cheney; he had gained significantly too.

Hearing this, Milton Cheney put down his wine cup and nodded.

Thousands of years had passed, and now the time had finally come to gaze into the Deity Transformation Realm!

“Good! Then I won’t persuade you further. I wish you a smooth journey, fellow cultivator!”

“I will protect you; unless I’m dead, nothing will be allowed to disturb your Breakthrough!”

The Blazing Sun True Monarch spoke solemnly.

He was well aware of what it would mean if Milton Cheney could succeed smoothly.

It indicated that the Purple Melody True Sect would soar to the skies and leap to become the Purple Melody Immortal Sect!
