Overriding the Heaven

As blood gushed out from the headless cavity, a stream of spiritual qi also gushed out.    

This Qi, was not from the Qi Sea in Cui Derong's dantian.    

From the first day the cultivators started cultivating, they started to seize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and absorb it into their bodies.    

This spiritual energy could be said to be stored in every piece of a cultivator's skin, every piece of muscle, and even every strand of hair.    

Once a cultivator falls, whether they reach the end of their lifespan or accidentally die, the spiritual energy in their body will return to normal.    

It was just that the amount of Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth in the bodies of cultivators with Pulse Condensation Stage was not that much, so under normal circumstances, even if they fell, there wouldn't be many Spiritual Tide occurring. At most, there would only be a breeze of Spiritual Energy blowing by.    

And for cultivators like Cui Derong, who had reached the celestial mood stage, once they fell, there would be a clear spirit tide.    

At this moment, the battle was still not over, and the environment had not been affected at all. Thus, the Spirit Wave's gushing out was all the more obvious.    

The moment the Spirit Wave was released, Chu Yan immediately extended his hand out.    

He had no way to directly absorb this Spirit Wave, but the taiyi log needle in his arm could help him absorb all the Spirit Wave's Spirit Qi.    

Although it was partially dispersed, at least seventy percent of the spirit wave that surged out from Cui Derong's body was absorbed by the taiyi log needle.    

Next, as long as Chu Yan ingests this spiritual energy into his body while he cultivates, he would be able to build a solid foundation for himself to cultivate in.    

Chu Yan was still in mid air, with a wave of his blade, he cut off Cui Derong's right arm, and after taking it, he pulled out the jade ring on his pinky, and held it in his hand.    

There were restrictions on the ring to prevent anyone from peeking inside.    

However, this restriction was closely related to Cui Derong's Qi and blood.    

To put it bluntly, the strength of this restriction was directly related to Cui Derong's blood energy.    

At this time, Cui Derong was cut into several pieces, and had long since stopped breathing. Following the rapid decline of his vital energy and blood, the power of the restriction was also quickly decreasing.    

However, Chu Yan did not have the patience to wait for him to completely disappear.    

For a cultivator at his level, using blood qi to hit a restriction was like a normal person using their shoulder to hit a door. If they couldn't do it once, it would be normal for the door to be knocked open by dozens of times.    

But Prince Chu was completely different. His blood energy was concentrated and vigorous, much more abnormal than even his body refiner.    

At this moment, there was no longer any normal person knocking on the door. Instead, it was a ferocious beast tearing apart a piece of paper. The restriction was so easy that it completely shattered.    

If Cui Derong was still able to see this scene from a single breath, he would probably die from fright.    

The restrictions were easily destroyed, and all the items inside the jade ring were immediately exposed to Chu Yan.    

The space inside the ring could not be considered to be very large, and compared to the storage space of the identity token of the Horizon Sect Disciple, it was actually close to a third of a space.    

However, although the space was small, it did not mean that there would be a shortage of items.    

Putting aside Cui Derong's personal items, Chu Yan's gaze turned towards the other items.    

In one of the treasure lights, Chu Yan saw at least four spirit artifacts, and over ten sharp weapons. Even the rarely seen Half-step spirit weapon, there were also two things inside the ring.    

Looking at the number of treasures, one could tell that Cui Derong had truly died unjustly this time.    

Previously, when he was fighting the Grand Monster of Manifestation, he was pressured to the point where he didn't even have the chance to take out other spirit artifacts.    

After that, when he fought with Chu Yan, he had the chance to use other Spirit Treasures, but under Chu Yan's design, he did not have enough spirit energy to activate the Spirit Treasures.    

Looking at the treasure that he could not use, Chu Yan finally understood what happened to Cui Derong's constipated expression.    

Other than weapons and magical equipment, there were also some medicinal pills.    

As the Sect Master of the Setting Sun Sect, the medicinal pellets Cui Derong used were naturally not of ordinary quality.    

Chu Yan opened the bottle and carefully examined it, then immediately revealed a satisfied expression.    

There was only one type of pill that could be used to aid in cultivation. Other types of pills were for example, detoxification, removal of some special ones, recovery of spiritual energy, and recovery of one's injuries.    

It sounded normal, but in Chu Yan's opinion, these pills were enough for him to take this risk.    

The most unusual thing was that one of the pills had a neat cyan pill with a golden ring attached to the middle.    

"Transcending Mortality Pill."    

Seeing this pellet, Chu Yan's breathing couldn't help but quicken.    

The term "mortal" referred to the people who had yet to reach the Inheritance Realm. Specifically speaking, they were those who had received Genuine Force Stage, Pulse Condensation Stage, and the Earth Origin Stage.    

However, if he used this pellet with his Genuine Force Stage, he would be courting death.    

The boundless medicinal power would cause both cultivators to explode in an instant.    

In fact, this pellet was prepared for the cultivators of Earth Origin Stage.    

and it was even prepared for cultivators who had reached the perfection of the third level of Earth Origin Stage.    

To put it bluntly, the Transcending Mortality Pill was a supportive medicine that helped Earth Origin Stage cultivators break through into the celestial mood stage.    

Raising the celestial mood stage not only allowed one to cross a large realm, it also involved a change from opening up one's lower dantian to creating one's inner palace.    

Just like what celestial mood stage cultivator had said, under the heavens, they were all ants.    

From the Immortal Path, entering the Pulse Condensation Stage was only the beginning.    

But in reality, the Pulse Condensation Stage was like a baby that had just been formed in a mother body in the mortal world. In the Immortal Path, it was considered the lowest level and it didn't even have the ability to protect itself.    

Only by reaching the celestial mood stage could one be considered to have a name on the Immortal Path.    

Chu Yan was currently at the third level of the Earth Origin Stage.    

However, he had reaped a bountiful harvest this time. He estimated that he would be able to break through to the Large Success Stage after a period of seclusion in the time and space cage.    

After that, he would look for some fortuitous encounters and advance to the peak of the third level. If he could use this Transcending Mortality Pill, he would be able to break through to the celestial mood stage in a short period of time. He would not need to be like the other cultivators who were at the peak of the third level of the Earth Origin Stage, to worry about his future gains and losses.    

"Good stuff, good stuff. After all, he's a Sect Leader, not a Sect Leader."    

His Highness Chu muttered to himself as his gaze swept across the corner of the ring.    

Several jade chips were placed there.    

"Cultivation technique!"    

Chu Yan's eyes lit up once again.    

Ordinary cultivation techniques were recorded on bamboo slips or paper and could be read with the naked eye.    

But what was recorded on the jade slip could only be viewed with divine sense or some other method.    

Thus, the cultivation method that was recorded on the jade slip was definitely not ordinary.    

There were a total of three jade slips.    

The first piece was the 'Small Heaven and Earth Breaking Palm'.    

This was a technique, Chu Yan had seen it performed before.    

The second piece was called Overcast Thunder Rain.    

This was a sacred art that Chu Yan was currently unable to learn.    

And on the third jade slip, Chu Yan picked it up to take a look, and was immediately stunned.
