10 years later.
Tian Yongheng stabilized his cultivation base as he looked at his status panel floating in front of him.
[Name: Tian Yongheng]
[Race: Mortal]
[Lifespan: 473/31,729]
[Cultivation: Second Stage of Nascent Soul Realm.]
[Constitution: Five-Elemental Divine Spiritual Physique.]
[Bloodline: Jade Pure Bloodline (Descendant of the Celestial Venerable of Primordial Beginning).]
[Innate Talent(s): Sword Heart, Primordial Meridians and Primordial Bones.]
Tian Yongheng was satisfied with his cultivation speed.
He had consumed all of the Nascent Soul Pills he obtained after breaking through last time, otherwise, it might have taken over 15 years for him to advance to the Second Stage of Nascent Soul Realm.
However, the subsequent breakthroughs will only be harder and take longer time.
He reminded himself to be patient lest he falls into Qi Deviation or develops Heart Demons, which was highly unlikely but still possible.
At this point, another series of system notifications popped up in front of him.
[Congratulations to the host for breaking through to the Second Stage of Nascent Soul Realm.]
[Obtained the Auspicious Rainbow Providence Cloud.]
[Auspicious Rainbow Providence Cloud: This Providence Cloud is worth a thousand years of Providence, and anyone who can refine it obtains that Providence, increasing their Providence greatly. This Providence can also be turned into cultivation, but it will only be equivalent of a hundred years of cultivation in accordance to the talent of the one who refines it.]
Seeing the description if the Auspicious Rainbow Providence Cloud, Tian Yongheng was momentarily stunned.
You can obtain Providence this way too?
Awesome!
Most importantly, it can turn into cultivation too!
He wasn’t excited about the Providence aspect of the Auspicious Rainbow Providence Cloud, after all, he didn’t need to increase his already great Providence.
What he was excited about was actually that it could be transformed into cultivation, although only a hundred years worth of it.
To other cultivators, having a thousand years of Providence was far more advantageous than a hundred years of cultivation because only those with ridiculously high talents could advance a single minor realm in the Nascent Soul Realm in a hundred years.
On the other hand, obtaining a thousand years worth of Providence was far better for future cultivation and opportunities aspects.
But for someone like Tian Yongheng, he could probably advance 2 or 3 minor realms of the Nascent Soul Realm at the very least in a hundred years based on his talent with no help from external objects.
This was akin to giving him at least 3 minor realms of cultivation, although he will have to spend a longer time to stabilize it, it was still worth it.
As the system notification was dismissed by him, a rainbow cloud around the size of an arm appeared in front of him.
Floating before him, it emitted a rainbow shower of mystical light, overflowing with Providence worth a thousand years.
He didn’t plan to use it just yet, but he will do so after some time.
He turned to look at the clone upgrading his Dharma Artifacts sitting in a corner of the cave abode.
In the last ten years, it had upgraded the Primal Dao Sword and the Sword of Charity to Rank-8 Dharma Artifacts, and was fusing a Dharma Fusion Stone into the Sword of Diligence to upgrade it to a Rank-8 Dharma Artifact right now.
Tian Yongheng pondered for a moment before deciding that he will use all his Dharma Fusion Stones this time and also let the clone upgrade the Soul Sealing Divine Disc to a Rank-8 Dharma Artifact.
The Soul Sealing Divine Disc was a great Dharma Artifact which could help in many situations, and he didn’t know when he could get another such treasure.
It was better to upgrade it.
Dharma Fusion Stones would come with breakthroughs, anyways.
The source of this c𝐨ntent is freeweɓnovēl.coɱ.
With that, he put the Auspicious Rainbow Providence Cloud in the system space and immersed himself in cultivation again.
He wanted to breakthrough to the Third Stage of Nascent Soul Realm before using the Auspicious Rainbow Providence Cloud.
That way, he could directly reach the Sixth or even Seventh Stage of Nascent Soul Realm after using it!
...
17 years passed by in an instant.
Today, Tian Yongheng finally broke through to the Third Stage of Nascent Soul Realm, and another system notification appeared in front of him.
[Congratulations to the host for breaking through to the Third Stage of Nascent Soul Realm.]
[Obtained one of the Nine Tripod Cauldrons.]
One of the Nine Tripod Cauldrons again?
At least it’s better than nothing.
Without even reviewing the reward this time, Tian Yongheng took back the Dharma Artifacts he had given to his clone to upgrade and put them in the system space.
Now, he had 4 Rank-8 Dharma Artifacts, 3 offensive and one sealing type.
They could be considered his main Dharma Artifacts. What he lacked now was just the defensive type, one that was not passive defense and also the most important type of Dharma Artifacts to Tian Yongheng.
He quickly decided that the next time he got a Dharma Fusion Stone, he will upgrade the Golden Heavenly Silk Robe to the level of a Rank-8 Dharma Artifact.
Now, he could use the Auspicious Rainbow Providence Cloud!
Immediately, he took it out of the system space and began refining its Providence into cultivation.
Some time later.
The Auspicious Rainbow Providence Cloud had been completely refined by Tian Yongheng, the Spiritual Energy and Dao insights overflowing.
Countless images flashed past his mind as he entered a mysterious state of comprehension. His cultivation base began to increase rapidly.
Outside of the cave abode, countless phenomena appeared in the sky as Providence rained down in corporeal form, landing in every corner of the Dao Field.
"Th-this is?"
"Providence! Providence is raining down!"
"It’s an extremely auspicious sign! A great blessing for the Eternal Peak!"
Yan Jingfei also watched this scene with her eyes wide open.
"A rain of Providence...even I only ever heard of legends about it in my past life..it’s really marvelous."
She muttered before going back to cultivate.
She wanted to increase her cultivation as much as possible and go to retrieve the inheritance of her past life.
Meanwhile, back at Tian Yongheng’s cave abode.
He finally began to breakthrough!
Peak of the Third Stage of Nascent Soul Realm!
Fourth Stage of Nascent Soul Realm!
[Congratulations to the host...]
Peak of the Fourth Stage of Nascent Soul Realm!
Fifth Stage of Nascent Soul Realm!
[Congratulations to the host...]
...
It was only after a full day did Tian Yongheng’s breakthrough finally came to an end and ue absorbed all the Providence of the Auspicious Rainbow Providence Cloud into his cultivation.
In the end, he reached the peak of the Seventh Stage of Nascent Soul Realm, only a step away from the Eighth Stage.
He directly broke through 4 minor realms in a row!
Not just that, but he also achieved the peak of the Seventh Stage of Nascent Soul Realm, and he had initially only reached the Third Stage, not even stabilizing it before using the Auspicious Rainbow Providence Cloud.
Which meant that if he was at the peak of Third Stage of Nascent Soul Realm, then he would have achieved the Eighth Stage of Nascent Soul Realm, directly breaking through 5 minor realms in a row!
Nevertheless, he was still extremely satisfied with his gains this time.
As he stabilized his cultivation, he didn’t even see the many system notifications floating in front of him.
His cultivation had risen too quickly, and not only did he need to stabilize his cultivation, he also needed a small break to prevent any Heart Demons.
He was excited to test out how powerful he was now at the Seventh Stage of Nascent Soul Realm.
One had to know that he had now truly achieved the cultivation bade on par with the strongest cultivators of a region.
Tan Xue, the Sect Master of the Brilliant Starlight Sect, was at the Seventh Stage of Nascent Soul Realm when they met in the Qingyun Dao Conference last time!
It was already top tier in terms of cultivation, Tian Yongheng’s true strength might have very well reached the level of the Immortal Ascension Realm!
Now, Tian Yongheng was certain he could enter the Tribulation Transcendence Realm within another 100 years!
A 600 year old Tribulation Transcendence Realm cultivator!
The peerless geniuses of the current generation, who took thousands of years to reach this level, completely paled in comparison!
If he really did it, then he would truly be living up to his reputation as the reincarnation of a great mighty figure.
Soon, he immersed himself into calming down his Dao Heart and stabilizing his cultivation.
...
Meanwhile, State of Jiang, Jiangnan Region.
In the courtyard of a mansion located on a flying island in the Capital of Jiangnan, Qin Ninguang quietly sat on a chair, admiring the flowers and the unchanging scenery of this courtyard which had remained the same even after hundreds of years.
The place where it all began.
