Amidst such cultivation and deriving spirit patterns, Lu Ye completely lost track of the flow of ti, with his mind entirely absorbed by the various combinations of Yin-Yang Dual Origins.
He even completely forgot about utilizing the gold-hued spirit fortune stick.
Yet, the practice of cultivation did not cease.
This state persisted for an unknown duration until Lu Ye suddenly felt his spirit force surging much faster than usual, and at the sa ti, an intangible shackle seed to have been broken through, jolting him back to awareness.
An aura erupted into a fervent boil, spirit force and blood Qi surged together, and an undefinable comfort perated from inside to out.
He reached Divine Sea Level 9!
This had been the bottleneck that troubled countless generations of Nine Provinces cultivators, the highest elevation they could attain for millennia, where many heroes chose death-seeking retreats, hoping for a breakthrough opportunity.
Yet ultimately, they all ended in failure. None before this generation realized that a cultivator's realm of cultivation was related to their ho world's tier level; if the world's tier wasn't high enough, even with excellent aptitude and cultivation, the dawn of breakthrough remained unreachable.
Compared to ancestors of Nine Provinces, this generation of cultivators is extraordinarily fortunate, coincidentally witnessing the elevation of the Nine Provinces World's tier, ensuring future elite cultivators need not worry about being stuck at Divine Sea.
But this is an opportunity fraught with risk; connecting with stellar space ans Nine Provinces can no longer exist in solitary silence. One day, new enemies and crises may arise, requiring current Nine Provinces cultivators to diligently improve themselves to protect their holand amidst potential future threats.
For cultivators like Lu Ye, Divine Sea Level 9 is rely a new starting point, a horizon reaching into stellar space; only at this level of cultivation can one endeavor into stellar space, albeit just possibly.
Though there have been no failures in Divine Sea Level 9 advancent to Constellation thus far, that's because the current elite cultivators of Nine Provinces, without exception, accumulated substantial ti in the Level 9 realm, making the success rate naturally high.
Moreover, under the previous Nine Provinces environnt, those reaching Divine Sea Level 9 were undeniably talented; these elite cultivators just needed an opportunity to soar, which the world's elevation provided.
Still, Divine Sea advancing to Constellation is ultimately an elevation of a major domain, lacking certainty of success. Just as with past domain advancents, there was always a risk of failure; while True Lake advancents were manageable given sufficient accumulation, the threshold from True Lake to Divine Sea halted many cultivators.
It's foreseeable that, with Nine Provinces cultivation environnt changes, advancing to Divine Sea will beco easier, while failures in Constellation advancent will inevitably appear.
Ordinary cultivators advancing from Divine Sea Level 8 to Level 9 don't experience much, rely strengthening their foundation and power.
But after Lu Ye's advancent to Level 9 here, he clearly felt a mystical force starting to work, gently invigorating his every cell, enlivening his flesh and making him feel comfortably warm.
With subtle perception, Lu Ye understood what force was in play. Read complete version only at NoveIＦire
It turned out to be the reward for ascending to the top in the Taichu Realm! This force lay dormant in his flesh prior, expected to activate upon advancing to Constellation; unexpectedly, it began now.
This is undoubtedly better, as the period from Divine Sea Level 9 to Constellation requires accumulation; during this ti, this mystical force will naturally maximize its effect.
He gained clarity that when this gentle force fully integrates with his flesh, it marks the optimal mont for his advancent to Constellation! This process may require a duration.
Turning his head, he looked at the rabbit-like Number Nine beside him, "Thanks!"
During his absorbed state in deriving spirit patterns, he completely forgot to crush the gold-hued spirit fortune sticks to maintain cultivation, yet his cultivation persisted without interruption due to Number Nine's arrival. Each ti a fortune stick's limit approached, it would crush a new one for him, maintaining his state of cultivation.
Otherwise, Lu Ye's cultivation might not be severely impacted, but interruptions during derivation would undoubtedly be frustrating.
Number Nine opened its eyelids to glance at him, staying silent, a proud expression saying 'What would you do without '.
Lu Ye rose and walked outside the bamboo tower, gently drawing his Boulder Mountain Saber from his waist.
With a thought, Sharpness spirit runes were imbued on the saber!
However, this ti the imbued runes were not the original Sharpness spirit runes but those derived recently.
The long derivation bore so fruit at last.
Upon imbuing the new Sharpness spirit runes, a faint light flashed on the black Boulder Mountain Saber, exuding an especially sharp feel.
Lu Ye swung the saber, moving gracefully as he did when his cultivation was low, each move ticulously executed.
On Erald Bamboo Peak, amidst the shifting figures, the sound of a long blade slicing through the air was continuous and unending.
It was only after a long ti that Lu Ye slowly sheathed his sword, his brow furrowed.
Even though there wasn't an opportunity to engage a formidable foe in a real battle to test the results of his recent deductions, Lu Ye could still feel that the newly derived Sharpness spirit rune was unsatisfactory.
Comparatively, the new spirit rune was indeed slightly better than the previous Sharpness spirit rune in terms of effectiveness, but it hadn't reached the expected level!
Let alone compared to the blessing empowered by Lü Yingying.
Such a spirit rune would provide limited enhancent in a genuine life and death struggle. At the Constellation level, relying on such results to slay enemies would likely require considerable effort.
Indeed, deriving a new spirit rune is not that easy.
Previously, when the Void spirit rune had been successfully derived, it was because Lu Ye had learned a complete Void spirit rune from a book. His deductions on Void were rely optimizations of the existing details, not a groundbreaking result.
But now, when it cos to Sharpness, it's not so straightforward; it's like deriving an entirely new spirit rune. Even with the original Sharpness as a foundation, the difficulty is exceptionally high!
Lu Ye felt that even if he continued to laboriously derive further, there would likely be no significant progress. Fundantally, although he had so accomplishnts on the Path of Spirit Runes, he was still young, and over the years, he hadn't spent enough ti on it. Most of his ti was spent on cultivation and improving his combat skill, treating the Path of Spirit Runes rely as an auxiliary.
It seems he's still too reliant on the Talent Tree. Because he can freely use the spirit runes on the Talent Tree, he's lost the interest and motivation to delve into the Path of Spirit Runes.
Indeed, learning has no bounds! Especially with the Path of Spirit Runes, which is more theoretical in nature. Without enough ti and energy invested in this path, he's only a half-filled water bucket.
Fortunately, there's still the ntor!
Lu Ye decided to seek guidance from his ntor!
Speaking of which, he hadn't visited his ntor since returning, which seed sowhat inappropriate.
But upon arriving at Bright Moon Summit, Lu Ye discovered the once bustling spirit mountaintop was empty, even the doppelganger, Little Butterfly, who was always present, was nowhere to be seen.
It seed no one had been here for quite a long ti.
Attempting to send a ssage to his ntor, the ssage couldn't be delivered, leaving him with no choice but to contact Second Senior Sister for information.
Only upon receiving Second Senior Sister's reply did Lu Ye learn that his ntor had already advanced to Constellation, leaving the Nine Provinces over three months ago, and had ventured deep into stellar space!
Not only his ntor, Yun Xuechu, but even the sect master had also left!
That's why Lu Ye didn't even see the sect master when he returned this ti.
Currently, only Shui Yuan remains, holding on bitterly, as she cannot leave. If she does, the entire Righteous Blood Sect would truly be without a leader, and the disciples would be left completely unprotected, becoming scattered like loose sand.
Of course, it's also because Shui Yuan's cultivation isn't enough. Although she advanced to Divine Sea long ago, her cultivation is still only Divine Sea Level 7 to this day.
Lu Ye couldn't help but be a bit stunned; over three months ago, he was competing against prodigies from various domains in the Taichu Realm.
Still, it's a good thing, with his ntor and sect master both advancing to Constellation and exploring stellar space together, their dual journey is quite carefree; it's uncertain whether the sect master can help unravel the ntor's inner knot.
With his ntor absent, there's no one to offer guidance, Lu Ye considered for a mont and sent a ssage to Shui Yuan, asking her to help investigate the whereabouts of renowned spirit runes masters still in the Nine Provinces.
Since his ntor isn't around, he'll have to seek out other spirit runes masters to discuss and explore; while these masters still in the Nine Provinces may not compare with him in cultivation and strength, Lu Ye wouldn't underestimate them.
Given the previous environnt, these spirit runes masters had managed to achieve widespread fa, certainly possessing remarkable qualities worthy of Lu Ye's learning.
He didn't leave Bright Moon Summit; instead, he delved right in.
It's true his ntor has departed, but the books she left behind remain, and Lu Ye decided to thoroughly revisit the Path of Spirit Runes before advancing to Constellation, starting with the ntor's remaining collection of books.
