Chen Xun was now truly embarking on the Five Elements immortal path of the Void Refinement phase. If he could break through to the late Void Refinement phase, it would be crucial for achieving Unity.
His current Five Elements immortal path was not yet perfected, lacking the power of Yin and Yang, which must be completed during the Void Refinement phase.
Otherwise, once he broke through to Unity, some things could no longer be remedied.
This was also the key reason why the prodigies of the grand world would stall their lifespans. Generally, once they reached Unity, these prodigies would no longer stall their lifespans, and their cultivation would officially begin to advance rapidly, far surpassing cultivators of the same realm.
Unity could be said to be the realm with the greatest disparity in combat power. The strong could obliterate their peers with a single palm strike, scattering their souls!
Especially those prodigies who stalled their lifespans, the power of their primordial spirit-nurtured life-bound magical artifacts was overwhelming, bringing an absolute sense of oppression.
The Unity realm was also the first step where the prodigies of the grand world truly showcased their brilliance, leaving countless Unity cultivators overshadowed, making it a rather frustrating realm for the latter.
Ordinary cultivators could only challenge those of lower realms, as they hardly dared to act recklessly, for in this realm, you could never predict how outrageous your opponent might be!
"The Tower of Babel..."
By the coast, Chen Xun murmured to himself, his gaze distant. There were some insights into the world within that he needed to 'retrieve'. "This tower belongs to no faction, it is a gift from the heavens."
He suddenly smiled crookedly, knowing that the prodigies of all races would vie for supremacy within, and he and Bull were definitely going as well, though not to duel with them.
"Hmm... let's hope everyone is reasonable." Chen Xun was fishing, and suddenly the black hood slipped over his head, "Oh, there's a fish!"
The sea surface rippled, and a large fish was forcibly caught ten miles off the coast, its expression terrified. This fisherman was unreasonable! There wasn't even any bait!
Chen Xun laughed heartily, a surge of mana blasted it out of the sea, and the big fish quickly fled back into the water...
He was in a great mood, with strands of death energy swirling around him.
Chen Xun lightly tapped his fingers, gathering the dense death energy in his palm, now able to control it freely without relying on his life-bound magical artifact.
Once the death energy emerged, the air became quite oppressive, filled with an indescribable sense of despair and deathly stillness.
However, streams of blue-white water light emerged from within Chen Xun, significantly suppressing the death energy, preventing it from spreading.
This was the fifth layer of the Water Spirit Decision he had cultivated!
The black and white spell patterns on Chen Xun's forehead flickered slightly, and after cultivating the Water Spirit Decision to the fifth layer, the vitality within him no longer dissipated, and the frequent feelings of emptiness and rage were gone.
"Water Spirit Decision, fifth layer, interesting." Chen Xun chuckled, taking out a stalk of Clear Dust Grass and planting it in a pile of trash.
He wrapped his finger around a stream of blue-white water, like a creek, and infused it into the Clear Dust Grass.
At this moment, a mutation occurred!
The entire Clear Dust Grass began to sway, growing taller at a speed visible to the naked eye.
However, Chen Xun's vitality also began to wane, and his eyes gradually deepened.
The age of this herb did not increase under the nurturing of the fifth layer of the Water Spirit Decision, but it was like nurturing the soul, elevating the body's refining limits.
This decision, however, elevated the limits of the spiritual herb, with the roots and stems of the Clear Dust Grass slowly strengthening, breaking through their original limits!
Back in the small boundary, the third layer of the Water Spirit Decision could allow some spiritual herbs to no longer be constrained by the special environments they required, enabling them to be transplanted into a medicinal garden.
The fourth layer of the Water Spirit Decision was not as the outside world claimed, that it could increase age like the World Soul.
Its true function was to preserve these fragile and rare spiritual herbs, maintaining their vitality for a long time, no longer decaying once removed from the soil.
If combined with the fifth layer of the Water Spirit Decision, considering the original appearance of the spiritual herbs, these herbs would indeed seem as if they had gained age.
This was the true reason for the strength and destruction of the Ji family's branch, but clearly, this technique shortened lifespan.
It was entirely like a technique that could siphon the essence from within, used for the growth of all things, akin to the World Soul.
Chen Xun had observed closely, and this shortening of lifespan was not like the feeling of Filthy Longevity or Life Severance.
It was simply due to the technique, with vitality flowing from the inside out, not caused by external factors.
There was also no so-called offense to the heavens, no heavenly punishment descending to destroy.
But most strangely, this grand world did not seem to advocate the Water Spirit Decision.
They generally only sold up to the third layer of the Water Spirit Decision, and purchasing the fourth and fifth layers required registration.
The sixth layer was unavailable for purchase, said to have been destroyed long ago, bringing great misfortune, and cultivators were advised not to touch such taboos.
This, however, only piqued Chen Xun's curiosity even more, especially regarding the ancient book from Senior Brother Ji, which might indeed have some connection to the Water Spirit Decision...
Chen Xun looked at the Clear Dust Grass on the ground, his eyes slightly unfocused.
The application of the fifth layer of the Water Spirit Decision signified that the limit age for cultivating spiritual herbs would increase, and the potency would become even stronger.
Back then, the limit of the Crane Spirit Tree was a hundred thousand years, giving birth to the strange entity of death energy.
If this decision were used to cultivate the Crane Spirit Tree, its limit would certainly not remain at a hundred thousand years.
For this reason, it seemed it could just suppress the death energy, allowing it to continue growing.
Chen Xun thought of this, feeling as if he had grasped something, his brow slightly furrowed, pondering deeply.
However, he had no reference for his situation, as the visibly growing roots and stems of the Clear Dust Grass were the result of a full 270-fold mana-enhanced spell!
In these five hundred years, he had maxed out five attributes, all at 270 points, and had begun adding points towards the threshold of the Unity phase.
"Damn... if I were to cultivate a special Taiwei Purple Immortal Tree."
Chen Xun's eyes widened slightly, the Water Spirit Decision was simply a perfect match with the World Soul, "If given to our people, each would gain at least ten thousand years of life..."
He couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva at this point, as he hadn't even lived for ten thousand years, and it was almost unimaginable.
This was equivalent to saying that as long as you could cultivate to the Golden Elixir phase, you would have the ten-thousand-year lifespan of a Unity True Lord, even a pig could cultivate to that level!
"Damn it, Little Chi, tell this Dao Ancestor, how did you die?!"
Chen Xun's eyes were somewhat excited, and he roared lowly, "I must collect the subsequent techniques of the Water Spirit Decision, perhaps the longevity increase from the Taiwei Purple Immortal Fruit will be even more terrifying!"
He quickly took out a small booklet and began writing his future plans, with Unity being of utmost importance, and the perfection of the Five Elements immortal path always being his obsession.
Especially after seeing Little Crane's true form last night, the throbbing of the Five Elements spiritual roots within him gave him some direction.
However, as he wrote, his gaze gradually turned cold.
With his mingling in the Star Pivot, he had learned that many super sects would purchase newly discovered mineral vein small boundaries, and once they were mined out, they would be directly destroyed!
Such methods were very similar to the destruction of small boundaries, and he had heard that absolute powerhouses would never take action to destroy boundaries.
Such things had never happened, and they never interfered with the affairs of small boundaries, letting them live or die on their own.
People from small boundaries coming to the grand world were never stopped, and Chen Xun agreed with this after hearing it.
Before the small boundary was sealed, those who had cultivated to the Void Refinement phase could come and go freely, and there was no mention of grand world powerhouses descending.
"Heh, when I reach Unity, I will definitely have the qualification to uncover some information."
Chen Xun snorted coldly, having already established some connections within the Star Pivot, "If any sect from the Mengmu Sea Region takes action, I'll make sure you're haunted by the tolling of funeral bells every day."
However, he still had some vague suspicions in his heart, perhaps it wasn't the grand world powerhouses who acted, but the three-eyed creature from the Tian Duan chasm was the biggest suspect!
Chen Xun had checked the Chaos Immortal Spirit List's ten thousand races list for this reason, to see if there was any information on the three-eyed race, but there was none...
This was also what Black Bull had told Chen Xun, advising him not to blame himself anymore.
Perhaps the reason was not external at all, the three-eyed creature was clearly not a good thing!
If they didn't open the way, no one could leave, and all would be slaughtered within the small boundary.
There was even a hundred-year buffer period, and countless people had already reached the Mengmu Sea Region.
These words truly opened Chen Xun's heart knot, confirming that over the past hundred years, a considerable number of people had already come to the grand world.
It was very likely that Liu Han, Shi Wujun, Ji Zhao, and the people of the Five Aggregates Sect had all come, and he and Bull had left enough things for development.
Half a day later.
Chen Xun had already closed the small booklet, filled with densely packed plans, advancing step by step, no one knew how much preparation he had done in these five hundred years.
He took a long look at the sea, slowly taking out the Void Transmission Disk, which quickly began to spin.
After a while, a deep voice came from within, "Senior."
"Old Mo, I am ready, even if I fail, I will ensure your safety."
"Senior, I am also ready, no need to worry about me!"
"Good, see you at the usual place."
Chen Xun took a deep breath, stood up solemnly, and in an instant, transformed into a stream of light and disappeared.
This matter concerned his ten-thousand-year plan, and if he could take the first step, his path of immortality could advance further, becoming revolutionary!
