Chapter 24: Chapter 24
Then he fell into a state of madness, muttering continuously. freewёbnoνel.com
"Impossible, absolutely impossible! The Sixth Heaven and Earth Upheaval has only just begun. How could the Time Domain appear in this world?!"
"This is the most powerful Domain between heaven and earth. Anyone who can comprehend it is a heaven-shaking prodigy who dazzles through the ages. Given the current evolution of heaven and earth, it is fundamentally impossible to birth such a genius!"
"Could it be that those few have reappeared in the world?! But that’s impossible too!"
"According to the guidance of heavenly secrets, those few will only steal the final fruits when the evolution of heaven and earth reaches its zenith."
"Furthermore, even if those few lived a second life against the heavens, they would be born in the resplendent Central Continent. How could they appear in this barren Silver Willow?!"
Looking at the aura of the Dao Laws of Time leaking out before him, the scruffy Daoist fell into deep thought.
....
After breaking through from the Innate Realm to the Grandmaster Realm, Adam’s strength underwent an earth-shattering transformation.
Not only had he opened up the Time Domain, but he could also fly through the air.
A Grandmaster could fly.
The journey that took an hour coming here only needed the time of one incense stick to return.
Returning to Vernal Manor, Adam went back to his room, sat cross-legged, and regulated his breath.
The power of those nine Tribulation Dragons was terrifying. Even with the Thirteen Heaven-Shattering Swords and the Indestructible Golden Body, it was almost impossible to endure them completely unscathed.
Fortunately, after cultivating the Indestructible Golden Body, his physical strength was formidable, and he had used the Thirteen Heaven-Shattering Swords to slay four dragons.
Forcefully enduring the remaining only caused his vital blood qi to churn. There were no major injuries. He only needed to sit quietly and regulate his breath for a morning to recover.
"Ah! Young Master, I broke through to the second level of Qi Condensation!"
In the early morning, as the horizon turned white, Adam was awakened by Cecilia’s exclamation. Just as he opened his eyes, he saw her rushing in, face full of joy.
Second level of Qi Condensation! The sleepiness in Adam instantly vanished, he got out of bed and came to her side.
"Cecilia, circulate the Imperial Ultimate Dao-Proving Scripture for me to see."
Her words had truly given Adam a scare. Yesterday, her astonishing comprehension had already made him feel she was terrifying, but he never expected her cultivation speed to be equally world-shocking.
The Qi Condensation Realm focused on accumulating spiritual energy in the dantian. One had to remember, this was the Dharma-Ending Age, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was exhausted.
It was not like a golden age with heavenly treasures and peerless rarities to rapidly boost cultivation.
In this age, the only way ordinary cultivators could increase their cultivation was by absorbing ambient spiritual energy. However, that spiritual energy was so thin it could almost be ignored. Therefore, cultivation speed for ordinary cultivators was extremely slow.
Only great aristocratic families, major sects, or imperial nobles could set up Spirit Gathering Formations to make cultivation a bit faster.
Even though Adam had awakened heaven-defying comprehension, he had only broken through from the fifth level of Qi Condensation to the Innate Realm in a single day.
If this were a golden age, relying on his heaven-defying speed of refining spiritual energy, he probably would have needed only the time of one incense stick to make that same breakthrough.
But Cecilia did not have the help of a system, yet she went from no cultivation at all to the second level of Qi Condensation in one night. This was not much different from his own speed, which was indeed terrifying.
Following Adam’s instructions, Cecilia circulated the Imperial Ultimate Dao-Proving Scripture and began to cultivate right in front of him.
The moment she circulated the Scripture, Adam clearly felt an abnormal movement of the surrounding spiritual energy.
The ambient spiritual energy seemed to have received some sort of summons, converging toward Cecilia like a tidal wave.
Although the spiritual energy in the world was thin, it could not withstand the sheer volume being pulled in. Soon, a mist of spiritual energy enveloped Cecilia.
Adam’s eyes filled with shock. He did not expect that Cecilia merely cultivating could condense spiritual energy into a mist.
One had to remember, with spiritual energy being so thin, even Qi Refiners might not sense its existence without focusing their minds. From this one could see how thin the spiritual energy had become.
And condensing spiritual energy into a mist was something perhaps only that top-grade Spirit Gathering Formation in the Silver Willow Imperial Palace could achieve.
For Cecilia’s cultivation to condense spiritual energy into mist... could she have an Innate Dao Body? Watching this, a guess formed in Adam’s heart.
In this world, some people cultivated bitterly for a hundred years and still could not step onto the path of cultivation. Yet some people, even in their sleep, could advance a thousand miles a day.
These people possessed special physiques and were the Darlings of the Great Dao.
The bottlenecks that were like solid rock for ordinary geniuses did not exist in their eyes, and breaking through was as simple as drinking water.
The lofty peaks on the Great Dao that were incredibly difficult to climb could be easily reached by these Darlings.
As long as they did not fall midway, they were destined to become heaven-shaking figures who stirred the winds and clouds.
The Innate Dao Body was one such special physique. Those possessing it were naturally close to the Great Dao. They could learn any cultivation method immediately upon seeing it, needing no external reliance whatsoever.
Not only that, but they had a natural affinity for spiritual energy. With all their acupoints naturally open, their speed of absorbing ambient spiritual energy was incredibly terrifying.
People with this physique cultivated at an extremely fast pace, reaching heights in a very short time that peerless geniuses would find difficult to attain even if they had eternal life.
