Chapter 23 - Breaking through the Spirit Connection Realm!

The Spirit Navigational Boat was entirely purple-golden in color, reflecting a cold sheen under the sunlight, giving it an indestructible texture.

Li Xun bit his fingertip and forced out a drop of blood, which fell onto the Spirit Navigational Boat.

"Buzz!"

As the Spirit Navigational Boat absorbed the blood, an inexplicable ripple spread out. The boat, originally the size of a palm, instantly expanded in the wind.

It turned into a ten-zhang (about thirty meters) large ship.

A flag flew at the bow of the ship, fluttering in the wind with a rustling sound.

"Wow, it's so big?" Li Xun looked up at the Spirit Navigational Boat floating in the sky above his courtyard, astonished.

The boat could no longer be described as a boat. Specifically, it should be referred to as a warship!

Looking at the flag on the bow, Li Xun manipulated his mind, and a dragon and phoenix danced on the previously blank flag, forming the character "Li."

"That's more like it." Li Xun was satisfied with the change.

With the Spirit Navigational Boat, he wouldn't need to exert any effort while traveling outside.

This thing was much more convenient than a flying sword. With just a few spirit stones, it could sustain a long flight. While others flew on their swords, Li Xun could sit comfortably in the Spirit Navigational Boat, focusing on cultivating.

"In the wild, if I encounter a powerful enemy, even if I can't defeat them, there shouldn't be any problem escaping."

As a flying spiritual treasure, the Spirit Navigational Boat excelled in speed. With its full power, even Elder-level figures from the Xuanyang Sect might not be able to catch up to him. Unfortunately, there was no way to compare the two directly.

With a wave of his hand, Li Xun stored the Spirit Navigational Boat away.

Returning to his room, he sat cross-legged on the couch, and a jade token appeared in his hand. He pressed it against his forehead, quickly memorizing the contents of the Purple Sun Heavenly Art.

Then, he took out a Spirit Cleansing Pill and swallowed it.

After reaching the peak of the Spirit Connection Realm and waiting for two days, it was time for him to break through!

As the Spirit Cleansing Pill entered his body, rich spiritual energy transformed into a dense aura, flowing into Li Xun's mind instead of dispersing into his limbs.

"The Spirit Connection Realm requires opening the Sea of Knowledge and giving birth to divine consciousness. This is the most crucial step in cultivation..."

Li Xun didn't dare to be careless.

He slowly closed his eyes and began practicing the Purple Sun Heavenly Art according to the knowledge in his mind.

"Boom!"

Deafening roars resounded.

These roars didn't come from the outside but seemed to emerge from the depths of Li Xun's mind.

At this moment, Li Xun felt countless clouds and mist churning in the depths of his mind, like a chaotic world. However, with the intensifying roars, the clouds dispersed rapidly.

Gradually, the sky cleared, and a vast space appeared before his eyes.

This was the legendary Sea of Knowledge!

It felt as if a long time had passed, yet it seemed to happen in an instant. Li Xun's senses had reached an unprecedented level of sensitivity. Even though he didn't open his eyes, he could perceive everything within a kilometer radius.

Divine consciousness was finally born!

This was a standard feature of the Spirit Connection Realm!

At this moment, Li Xun knew he had successfully broken through. But he didn't open his eyes immediately; instead, he immersed himself in the process of cultivation.

Time passed.

Over twenty days quickly flew by.

In Li Xun's courtyard, a tall figure with black hair flowing like a waterfall held a long spear. With every strike, the spear pierced the void, emitting a piercing buzz, making people shudder with fear.

After a long while, Li Xun stopped and stood with the spear in hand. His eyes were deep and profound, and a layer of golden light flowed over his body, making him look like a divine being with a powerful presence.

"After twenty-three days, I finally cultivated the Golden Body Technique and The Broken Star Halberd Technique to a small achievement."

Li Xun wasn't sure whether his speed was fast or slow since he had no reference.

However, he estimated that compared to other disciples of the Xuanyang Sect, even if he wasn't considered fast, he wasn't too slow either.

"The Golden Body Technique truly lives up to its high-grade rank. It barely reached a small achievement yesterday, and The Broken Star Halberd Technique will be perfected in some time."

"Unfortunately, I haven't comprehended the legendary intent of the halberd."

Li Xun glanced at the long spear in his hand and shook his head slightly.

He cultivated The Broken Star Halberd Technique but used the Broken Cloud Spear. Frankly speaking, even if he truly comprehend something, he couldn't be sure whether it was spear intent or halberd intent.

On the surface, these two weapons seemed similar, but in reality, they were completely different.

"Calculating the time, I've been cultivating for nearly a month. It's time to take on a sect mission."

The Xuanyang Sect had a rule for inner disciples to complete one sect mission every month.

A minimum of twelve missions per year was required. One could complete all of them at once or leave them for later in the year, but skipping a mission would definitely lead to punishment, while doing more wouldn't bring additional rewards.

"Let's go to the Azure Cloud Hall first. If there are suitable tasks, I'll take on several more. If not, I'll wait for a while."

Li Xun put away the Broken Cloud Spear, left his courtyard, and quickly headed towards the Azure Cloud Hall.

The Azure Cloud Hall was some distance away from Li Xun's courtyard, and it took him over an hour to arrive.

Inside the hall, many people were present. As Li Xun entered the hall, he glanced around at everyone, feeling a bit disappointed.

In such a big hall, not a single person emitted a glowing light.

Now, the four walls of the Azure Cloud Hall were covered with jade tokens, and many disciples stood below each wall.

"Collect ten stalks of Orchidgrass.

Requirements: Not less than a hundred years old.

Time: Ten days.

Reward: Three middle-grade spirit stones."

"Collect twenty pieces of Scarlet Crystal Stone.

Requirements: High-grade quality.

Time: Twenty days.

Reward: Twenty middle-grade spirit stones."

Li Xun read the jade tokens one by one, but none of the tasks excited him.
