Soon enough, Tian Yongheng slightly closed his eyes.
He figured that around 5 years more years had passed when he was observing the Ladder of Ascension and comprehending the heavenly rules.
Combined with his previous years of seclusion when breaking through, it had been around 30 years since he entered seclusion.
He couldn’t help but feel weird considering how fast time passed when he cultivated.
30 years already passed by in the blink of an eye, and soon, this same time period would become that of a hundred years, a lifespan that many mortals couldn’t touch.
He finally understood why Immortal Cultivators usually preferred not having too deep relationships with mortals.
His perception of time had also been effected, and even he no longer felt that a hundred years were too long because he had already lived for over 500 years.
Aside from that, cultivation was becoming more and more difficult for him. It would take as long as hundreds or even thousands of years to breakthrough a single minor realm in the future.
He had to be diligent so as to not forget his original intention and continue cultivating till he reached the absolute peak of existence.
At this point, he looked at the system notifications which had accumulated over time.
This time, he didn’t go up into the heavens to see if he could reach the outer space like he did when he first broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm.
It was because he was somewhat afraid that if he could really reach the outer space, what danger will lie there waiting for him?
Thus, he decided that he would only check it out after reaching the Immortal Ascension Realm. Besides, since he could now see the foundation of the world, he had already figured out that the Tribulation Transcendence Realm was not enough to break the unknown barrier enveloping the world to go to the outer space.
The Tribulation Transcendence Realm only allowed one to access the Ladder of Ascension, which in Tian Yongheng’s knowledge was a extradimensional spacetime treasure or a special heavenly rule in itself which could be used to ascend to the Upper Realm.
To truly be able to go beyond the mortal world and wander the Lower Realm, one had to at least surpass the Tribulation Transcendence Realm in his knowledge.
Putting these thoughts aside, he first of all checked his status panel.
[Name: Tian Yongheng]
[Race: Mortal]
[Lifespan: 531/102,749]
[Cultivation: First Stage of Tribulation Transcendence 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.]
A hundred thousand years of lifespan!
Tian Yongheng couldn’t help but exclaim inwardly as his gaze landed on his lifespan.
If judged by his lifespan, then he was equivalent to a toddler and had not even lived one hundredth of his life!
A hundred thousand years was an extremely long time, after all.
At the thought of this, Tian Yongheng couldn’t help but feel his body stiffen slightly.
Doesn’t this mean that Pei Shuanzhen had also possibly lived for over a hundred thousand years?
Do cultivators not experience biological evolution?
Well, the concept of Immortal Cultivation in itself cannot be explained by science...
At this thought, he felt a sense of pity for Pei Shuanzhen.
Having cultivated for so long yet getting killed by a single attack from someone countless years younger than you, Pei Shuanzhen was really miserable.
Yan Jingfei had also lived that long in her past life, but she acted more like a kid.
Shaking his head slightly, Tian Yongheng finally looked at the piled up system notifications.
[Congratulations to the host for breaking through to the Tribulation Transcendence Realm.]
[Obtained a bottle of Tribulation Transcendence Pills, the Rank-8 Dharma Artifact, Sea Splitting Trident, a Low-Grade Immortal Spirit Stone, a Dharma Fusion Stone, a chance to upgrade the Dao Field, and a 8 times increase in the Dao Field’s Spirit Qi.]
[Bonus reward triggered: Insights into the Dao of Karma.]
[Host, do you wish to use the bonus reward right now?]
[Yes/No]
He quickly clicked on the no for now.
Right now, he didn’t want to enter a state of comprehension again for some time. He would first check out the rewards he had obtained and stabilize his cultivation before accepting the bonus reward.
Seeing the couple of new things in the rewards this time, Tian Yongheng’s interest was piqued as he read the description of these rewards.
[Sea Splitting Trident: A trident once wielded by a Sea God of the Primordial Era. It has the power to command the oceans and part the seas. A single wave of this can flood entire worlds. However, to bring out its true power, it has to surpass the ranks of Dharma Artifacts.]
Wielded by a Sea God from the Primordial Era?
Good stuff!
Tian Yongheng was quite satisfied with this reward.
Everything that he had recieved which was related to the word "Primordial" was always very good, even better than all the other rewards of the system.
Naturally, he believed the Sea Splitting Trident was also as good as the Bodhi Wisdom Tree or the Primal Dao Sword.
He put it aside for now and checked the description of the other item.
[Low-Grade Immortal Spirit Stone: Currency used by Immortals of the Upper Realm. They are formed from the purer, higher version of Spirit Qi called the Immortal Qi. Just like Spirit Stones, they are also divided into Low-Grade, Mid-Grade, High-Grade, and Superior-Grade.
The Immortal Qi contained in a single Low-Grade Immortal Spirit Stone can be transformed into extremely pure and high quality Spiritual Energy for those who have yet to become Immortals using it.]
Immortal Spirit Stone!
Finally, an item of the Immortal rank!
Seeing the description of the Immortal Spirit Stone, Tian Yongheng was quite excited.
Although he had obtained treasures of the same level as the Immortal Spirit Stone or even higher like the Bodhi Wisdom Tree, none of them could help him directly become stronger.
This was indeed the first time he had come into contact with an Immortal level item which could help his cultivation directly.
There was a high chance that by using the Low-Grade Immortal Spirit Stone, it would have the same effect as the drop of Renewed Spirit Immortal Wine without its dizziness side effects.
He could possibly breakthrough one or more minor realms with this. It was definitely a good thing.
Of course, the Immortal Spirit Stone was still only a Spirit Stone which provided the Spirit Qi, or rather, Immortal Qi in this case.
It just made cultivation way easier, but unlike the Auspicious Rainbow Providence Cloud or the Renewed Spirit Immortal Wine, it could still not provide the exact enlightenment needed for breakthroughs, which was extremely crucial in higher realms.
He still had to work for it.
Though this wasn’t the only reason he was excited.
It was also because he could understand that the system had approved of him and he could come into contact with Immortal God level stuff from now on.
He didn’t know if it was true, but he really felt like it was.
Then, Tian Yongheng turned his attention to the description of the Dao Field’s upgrade chance.
[Upgraded Dao Field: After upgrading the Dao Field, it can block the perception of the Heavenly Dao as long as the host stays inside.
This 𝓬ontent is taken from fгeewebnovёl.co𝙢.
In other words, the host will no longer have to undergo the Lightning Tribulation required for the subsequent major realm breakthroughs after the Tribulation Transcendence Realm as long as he stays in the Dao Field during major realm breakthroughs because it blocks the Heavenly Dao’s perception.
At the same time, even if the host’s true cultivation base has surpassed that of the world limit, the Heavenly Dao cannot detect, let alone oust the host from the world as long as he stays within the Dao Field.]
This...this is too awesome!
Tian Yongheng couldn’t help but be astonished as he read the description of the Dao Field upgrade.
It meant that he could continue cultivating in the Dao Field even after becoming an Immortal, not having to ascend to the Upper Realm!
This was undoubtedly the best reward he had obtained in a while.
However, he couldn’t help but ask in his mind.
But, isn’t the Lightning Tribulation needed to forge an Immortal Body and become an Immortal?
[The Lightning Tribulation is just a test of the Heavenly Dao, not a necessity for forging an Immortal Body. After the upgrade, the Dao Field will supplement the host’s needs for forging the Immortal Body with no mishaps.]
Tian Yongheng heaved a sigh of relief upon reading that.
He let out a deep breath before muttering, "Upgrade the Dao Field."
[The process for upgrading the Dao Field has started.]
He then closed his eyes, getting back into a meditative state.
Alright, now, I should stabilize my cultivation base first of all and only use the Immortal Spirit Stone after reaching the Third Stage of Tribulation Transcendence Realm.
It shouldn’t take longer than 50 years.
Thinking of this, he started stabilizing his cultivation, still slightly excited about sparring with the experts in the Simulation Battle Trial after he had stabilized his cultivation base and improved all his skills to his current level.
He was confident that he could fight against an Early Stage Half Immortal on equal grounds now.
