Chapter 141: Skyrocketing Cultivation
As Tang Yin climbed up the steps of the Heaven Ascension Peak, the pressure increased exponentially. However, this was not a problem as he just devoured the Spirit Qi which pressured him. The amount of Spirit Qi he devoured increased on its own as the pressure intensified.
Tang Yin’s proficiency in condensing spirit veins kept on increasing, it did not take even a minute to condense a spirit vein. The time required to condense a spirit vein kept being reduced.
When Tang Yin reached the 250th step, he reached the threshold of the 899th spirit vein. He would reach the 9th stage of the Spirit Vein Condensation Realm once he condensed this spirit vein.
Scattered Soul Daoist and the other cultivators were not too far ahead, only at the 280th step. They had noticeably slowed down. The pressure was not an issue for Tang Yin, he could reach the 1000th step if he wanted to. All he needed to do was to Devour the Spirit Qi which descended upon him.
Tian Huang saw the Spirit Qi around Tang Yin distort every time he condensed a spirit vein, he was curious for the reason. But not curious enough that he would capture and soul-search Tang Yin.
Tang Yin had felt Tian Huang’s gaze constantly pass by him, he was sure that he had discovered his little façade. He was being bold before a tiger, Tian Huang had no intentions of stopping his façade, this only made Tang Yin become bolder. However, he was not going to cross any boundaries which would force Tian Huang to act.
Tang Yin was sure that Tian Huang was a cultivator who had surpassed the Mortal Step. He was a cultivator who had reached the next step of cultivation! This was already very clear when a Spirit Ascension Realm cultivator such as Scattered Soul Daoist was so obedient before Tian Huang.
Tang Yin easily condensed the 899th spirit vein and reached the 9th stage of the Spirit Vein Condensation Realm. Only Tian Huang noticed this, and a glint appeared in his eyes.
’Maybe he is the one. After countless millennia, an actual candidate has appeared. But it is too early to judge him, I will need to observe him more.’ Tian Huang thought to himself when he saw Tang Yin’s cultivation rise once again under the increasing pressure of the Heaven Ascension Peak.
Tang Yin continued climbing the Heaven Ascension Peak slowly, when he reached the 350th step, an expression of discomfort appeared on his face.
Of course, all of this was just an act. With the Heaven Devouring Abyss devouring all of the Spirit Qi, he was under little to no pressure. But considering his cultivation level, he needed to display actual effort to fool the other cultivators.
When the cultivators reached the 400th step, sounds of panting reached Tang Yin’s ears.
The tall, brutish man was struggling, he was panting harshly like an exhausted dog. His eyes displayed ruthless determination, he took large strides and forced himself to climb the Heaven Ascension Peak.
The other Qi Transformation Realm cultivators displayed expressions of discomfort and uneasiness.
Only Scattered Soul Daoist remained stoic and unbothered as he continued climbing the mountain.
Tang Yin condensed spirit veins consecutively. He had reached the 987th spirit vein when he stepped onto the 500th step. He was almost at full completion of the Spirit Vein Condensation Realm.
The Qi Transformation Realm cultivators ahead of Tang Yin were gasping harshly. Even cultivators such as them found the trial very hard at this stage. The cultivators who were in the later stages of the Qi Transformation Realm were better off compared to the others.
The tall, brutish man was almost on his knees. His breathing was so loud that it became irritating after a while. The ruthless determination in his eyes was still present, but it seemed to be unsteady and shaky.
Scattered Soul Daoist was in a much better condition than the others, he was only feeling very uncomfortable. This level of pressure was manageable for someone like him.
Only Tang Yin was feeling very comfortable, he was under no sort of pressure at all. He had slowed down even more, he was climbing the mountain at a snail’s pace.
The others only thought he had slowed down due to him finding it difficult to continue under pressure, similar to the tall, brutish man.
Tang Yin did not care what the other cultivators thought. The slower he moved, the more benefits he could obtain from the pressure.
steps later, Tang Yin reached the threshold of the 999th spirit vein. Once he condensed this spirit vein, he would reach full completion of the Spirit Vein Condensation Realm.
The Heaven Devouring Abyssal Sanskrit would also display the section about how he could shatter his Qi Sea and form a Spirit Flame. All of this depended on the condensation of this last spirit vein.
