The Miraculous Effects of the Heart-Calming Cloud Rainbow Grass!

Without the slightest hesitation, Li Guanqi opened his mouth and swallowed the Heart-Calming Cloud Rainbow Grass. Right now, he had no time at all to comprehend his Ascension realm power. If he rashly wielded the power of the Ascension realm to confront the heavenly tribulation, he would not stand a chance. When it was time to take something, there was no holding back! The moment the spiritual herb entered his stomach, it liquefied into spiritual nectar that coursed through his limbs and bones. This power surged straight toward his crown—it did not even require refining. Boom! Li Guanqi's head felt as though Xuan Yue had struck him head-on with a fist. His head snapped back violently, and his consciousness plunged into dead-silent darkness. Just as Li Guanqi wondered what this space was, a wisp of emerald glow suddenly appeared before his eyes. The glow then descended beneath Li Guanqi's feet, and mysterious patterns resembling veins of leaves instantly spread across the entire space! Stepping on the shimmering ground, Li Guanqi was surprised to feel solid earth beneath his feet. He looked down at himself: his body was completely intact, and even his tattered robes looked identical to how they were before. He, who should have been standing beneath the thunderstorm, felt as if a mysterious force had dragged him into this space by sheer power. At this moment, however, countless specks of emerald glow surged around Li Guanqi's physical body. Though the light only circled Li Guanqi, the emerald radiance occupied half the void! Li Guanqi's divine sense was now astonishing in reserve, boundless to the eye. Boom! His divine sense erupted like lightning, spreading in all directions. Yet when Li Guanqi's divine sense expanded across a radius of a hundred li, a flash of shock appeared in his eyes. This space was boundless, stretching on without end. In Li Guanqi's perception, there was not the slightest sign of a thunderstorm here. At this time, Shiwu was completely dazed, discovering that Li Guanqi's origin spirit and the immortal primal energy within him were both boiling violently. Moreover, this power was beyond his control. Li Guanqi gave the impression that he was undergoing an extraordinarily drastic transformation. The unruly, rampaging immortal primal energy also quieted down in an instant. Li Guanqi knew none of this; he only knew that he seemed to have plenty of time now to temper and hone his power! There was neither sun nor moon in the sky; here, he could not even sense the passage of time. Li Guanqi took a deep breath, raising his hand to mobilize the immortal primal energy within him into a lightning sword. Buzz! Terrifying lightning power erupted instantly. Bang! A burst rang out, and the spirit sword in Li Guanqi's hand shattered completely. The corner of Li Guanqi's mouth twitched. His cultivation realm had advanced too fast. Before, even if he gave it everything, King Xuan would suppress him. Yet now, he had stepped straight into the Ascension realm in a single leap... Too little time had passed. Earlier, when the Fourth Domain schemed to trap and kill the Immortal Realm cultivators, Shiwu had swallowed vast amounts of power and accumulated it in his body. Li Guanqi's realm had barely stabilized in the late Tribulation Transcendence Realm; he had not even reached peak perfection to continue comprehending. Relying on the power of the Falling Star Cold Lotus and an opportunity of sudden enlightenment, he had stepped straight into the Ascension realm. Now, he could not even manage the simplest condensation of a spirit sword... Immortal primal energy was over ten times purer than primal energy! Compared to immortal primal energy, even primal energy refined by Shiwu still contained impurities. This meant that condensing a spirit sword, which once required all ten parts of his strength, now took less than one part to accomplish. Li Guanqi took a deep breath. Sitting cross-legged on the ground, he did not rashly try to condense another spirit sword. Instead, he sat cross-legged, closing his eyes and focusing his mind to carefully perceive his current body and power. Probing deeper, he finally realized just how terrifying his current strength truly was... If his previous primal energy reserve was a vast, sprawling river, then his current reserve was an endless, boundless ocean! The power of the Falling Star Cold Lotus was too terrifying... Yet this gave him quite a headache. Such an expansive dantian meant that if he wanted to break through to the middle Ascension realm, the spiritual energy required would be an astronomical amount. Moreover, nearly half of his current energy was immortal primal energy. Without replenishing immortal energy, recovering his immortal primal energy would be exceedingly difficult. Fortunately, Shiwu's fundamental origin had now been baptized; absorbing and refining immortal crystals in the future would be a viable option. Setting these stray thoughts aside for now, Li Guanqi enveloped his entire body with divine sense and slowly circulated the immortal primal energy within him along the pathways of Divine Punishment's fifth layer—the Divine Punishment realm. He had to master his power in the shortest time possible. Yet he had no idea how long this seclusion lasted. He only knew that when he awoke, he was already able to exert basic control over the power within his body. As for how much time had passed in the outside world, he had no idea. One day, ten days, or several months... Li Guanqi took a deep breath and slowly rose. The instant he opened his palm, he condensed a longsword of immortal primal energy identical to Red Lotus. Buzz! Holding the sword of immortal primal energy, Li Guanqi examined it closely. "A spirit sword of this caliber... its strength probably isn't inferior to exceptionally powerful ancient treasures and dharma artifacts." Li Guanqi raised his hand and slashed toward the distance. Boom! Heaven and earth shook, the sword light majestic and stretching a full thousand zhang! Terrifying power flashed across the sky; even he could only catch an afterimage of the sword light. Its speed was several times faster than before! Li Guanqi swallowed hard, astonished by the sheer might of immortal primal energy. Yet he also discovered that the power of his sword light was extremely scattered—more than half of it was beyond his control. Li Guanqi shook his head with a sigh and looked at his hands. His physical strength had already broken through the limit of the Tribulation Transcendence realm; his dual cultivation of spirit and martial paths could be considered pushed to its pinnacle. Yet right now, he was like a child holding a treasured sword. While he could still hurt others, if he faced an enemy of the same realm, he would probably suffer miserably. Li Guanqi suddenly frowned slightly, flickering across a distance of ten thousand zhang in a flash. Having teleported over, Li Guanqi marveled; the shimmering spiritual light on the ground beneath his feet was completely unaffected. That meant... He could unleash his power here without the slightest restraint. In this space where the passage of time was imperceptible, he could relentlessly polish his power until he mastered it completely! And so, Li Guanqi began a frenzy of borderline masochistic cultivation. This almost abnormal, self-tormenting training was something Li Guanqi had rarely engaged in since leaving the Great Xia Sword Sect. There was no helping it... His comprehension ability was too formidable; he could master most sword techniques after practicing them just a few times. And his comprehension truly was extraordinary. In merely three months, Li Guanqi had nearly stabilized his realm. Not only that, he was now adept at wielding sixty percent of the power within him. As time went on, the further he progressed, the more mental effort Li Guanqi had to expend. Because he had not stayed long in the Tribulation Transcendence realm, leaping all at once into the Ascension realm, he needed vast amounts of time and energy to contemplate himself and comprehend the realm. After another three months, his control over his power had increased by less than ten percent.
