Carefree Path of Dreams

Chapter 729: Spiritual Realm

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The hills and woods were tranquil with bird songs and flagrant flowers.

Fang Yuan raised his head and saw a huge sun.

What was somewhat surprising was that surrounding the sun, there were two small stars circling it, emanating a green and purple glow, and even the sun’s brilliance was unable to conceal it.

“I can’t believe... I’d actually deteriorate to such a state... This place should be the Spiritual Realm in a higher dimension. Even if it’s not, it’s a plane that is similar. In conclusion, it’s already not the original universe.”

He looked inside his body and laughed bitterly.

Breaking through the void and ascending was not an action that had been done on Da Qian, so naturally there were no records.

In fact, with his Body of Origin Power, if he had ascended to the Mental Demon Realm, it would definitely have been very stable, at most facing a few setbacks.

However, he had too many enemies within the Mental Demon Realm. Fang Yuan was currently unwilling to meet them and could only forcefully change the ascension destination by using the Spiritual Realm coordinates that he had obtained from the Terra World.

This Spiritual Realm’s coordinates laid in a higher dimension. Even with a Dream Master’s technique, he was unable to explore and needed to coordinate with the powers of ascension to exceed the dimensional barrier and arrive here.

Unquestionably, at the moment of breaking the dimensional barrier, he needed to change the original ascension target. This was a very difficult matter even for him who had broken through.

“Luckily, from what it looks like, although there are some discrepancies, this definitely isn’t the Mental Demon Realm!”

With an entourage like Ado, Fang Yuan had also asked about the geography of the Mental Demon Realm in detail. It definitely was not like this.

“I’m slightly injured, but it isn’t a big deal. One of the characteristics of origin power is that it has endless life, capable of rapid healing!”

Fang Yuan carefully savored this heaven and earth.

He felt that with every breath, his entire body was exhaling the old and inhaling the new, as if he was cleansing himself to reveal an unparalleled brilliance.

This feeling was like a tiger entering the forest or a dragon entering the sea, completely different from the constrictions of a lower plane.

“It’s definitely a high-dimension world since it can completely bear me and my power... Furthermore, I can also promote!”

Fang Yuan lay on the ground in the same manner and took a deep breath.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Mountain winds blew and dense fog engulfed to form a vortex.

“A very familiar power... Spiritual Droplet! Spiritual Energy!”

A look of reminiscence appeared in his eyes as he immediately realized that the Spiritual Energy in this world was very similar to the one that he had cultivated on the Terra World.

“Unfortunately... there isn’t much. It seems that this breath I took has completely absorbed the Spiritual Energy of this mountain!”

In the beforehand Terra World, this was the bait of the Spiritual Realm. They intentionally used Spiritual Energy to infiltrate, but after reaching the Spiritual Realm, the actual Spiritual Energy was instead very thin.

Just like this mountain, which actually had nothing special about it. If Fang Yuan had not taken a breath, it was basically impossible to forcefully converge the tiny amounts of Spiritual Droplets that were nearly insignificant.

“The Spiritual Energy rules here are very suitable for the Elemental Spiritual Energy Cultivation Technique that I cultivated on the Terra World! Just by making some slight adjustments, it’d be completely usable!”

At the moment, Fang Yuan’s condition was that his true physical body was injured and origin power was completely used for recovery, so he needed a little additional power to protect himself.

“Furthermore, inside the Spiritual Realm, it really isn’t a paradise, and there are similarly ordinary people, cultivators...”

Although it was a high-dimension world, it just meant that the ceiling had been raised. As long as the rules were applicable, there would similarly be ordinary people and animals living here.

“Elemental Spiritual Energy Cultivation Technique!”

As Fang Yuan thought, a layer of glittering and crystal-clear brilliance flashed on his body.

This was what he had derived on the Terra World. The cultivation technique that specialized in refining Spiritual Energy instantly revealed an unparalleled adaptability.

“For my Elemental Spiritual Energy Cultivation Technique, after I’ve mastered the first layer, I can obtain an enhancement in energy sensing and a constitution suitable for Spiritual Droplets. In other words, even muddled ordinary people can grow spiritual foundations and obtain methods that involve making use of the heavens and the earth. This makes the successive steps easier to progress—the release of Spiritual Energy, spiritualization, spiritual fields, and even domains. I’m not sure what it’ll become in the Spiritual Realm after all five layers are mastered... ”

The highest layer of the original Elemental Spiritual Energy Cultivation Technique was only at the fifth layer. This was already the highest power in the Terra World.

However, in this world that was suspected to be the Spiritual Realm, this could naturally promote even further.

“Very good. Although the Spiritual Energy here is so thin that it’s nearly insignificant, it can barely manage to function after waiting for the time it takes an incense stick to burn!”

Fang Yuan’s gaze slightly shifted as he scanned the surroundings.

The green trees formed a shady area, and there was plentiful grass everywhere. Although this was the natural scene of a forest, there was a path that was opened. Evidently, this was not a place without any humans.

“Senior Brother, you mentioned that there were valuable items here?”

Suddenly, a glow flashed from the horizon and two streams of light leapt out. It was surprisingly the figure of a male and a female.

The man had very handsome features and looked majestic, while the female was slender and graceful. They seemed to be riding on winds like immortals.

Of course, what was currently said was entirely in the language of the Spiritual Realm and was definitely incomprehensible to an ordinary Dream Master.

However, Fang Yuan’s spiritual will quietly extended and watched stealthily... and with the additional of powerful deduction, he could roughly understand what was said soon.

“Yes. I’m already 30% proficient in the Heavenly Eyes technique and just discovered that there were signs of gathering Spiritual Energy on this mountain!”

The male cultivator standing on a flying sword said, “Junior Sister, you also know that this mountain range is not some blessed heavenly abode and definitely won’t have any Spiritual Energy accumulating. This phenomenon that appeared is the birth of a rare treasure, or perhaps the sign that a hidden abode is about to be opened. This is our chance!”

In the Spiritual Realm, the True Cultivators were high above, while there was a mixture of contaminated energy within the secular world’s thin Spiritual Energy. Thus, they were all focused on cultivating on top of their sect’s spirit vein.

When they occasionally went down the mountains, they definitely had important issues to deal with, or they were perhaps looking for fortune.

“We’re all already at Stellar Malignance. This time, we went down the mountains not to extravagantly hope to obtain any magical treasures, but instead only hoping to find suitable Qi of Stellar Heaven and Malignant Earth to advance our cultivation and condense our Essence Soul. This is the right path!”

This junior sister spoke slowly but extremely resolutely.

Spiritual Realm cultivation, where ordinary people could step onto the extraordinary path, was called ‘True Cultivation’. It had three large stages—Qi Refinement, Stellar Malignance, and Essence Soul. In every large stage, there were many small stages.

And if an Essence Soul continued to ascend, they were no longer a True Cultivator, but an ‘Immortal’! These people truly exceeded the mundane to become Sages, and could become sect founders!

And the areas that had Spiritual Energy would definitely be occupied by sects, families, or powerful cultivators. Occasionally, when a high-level spirit vein appeared, it would definitely cause a battle over it.

The sect system was the core of the True Cultivators.

Inside the sect, Qi Refinement was just a miscellaneous affairs or external disciple. Cultivating to Stellar Malignance would allow one to ride the winds and be freed of the world. They were the sect’s inner disciples and would receive the core teachings.

As for Essence Soul, it could be discovered but not sought. Aptitude and luck were both indispensable. Once there was a breakthrough, their lifespan would dramatically increased, and the sect would be in huge celebration. That was the same level as an elder or sect head.

“Break through to Essence Soul!”

With yearning in his eyes, the male cultivator said in a low voice, “That’s easier said than done. There are thirteen levels to Qi Refinement, and each must be taken one step at a time. There are already countless disciples who are stuck at this stage. We’re already very lucky to be able to break through to Stellar Malignance, but it’s an even more difficult to find the Qi of Stellar Heaven and Malignant Earth suitable for our cultivation techniques!”

“The Dark Mystic Powers that I’m cultivating requires the Earth Fire Yin Malignance and Dark Heaven Stellar Qi. As for the Heaven Reaching Sword Art, it requires Ge Metal Malignance and White Tiger Stellar Qi... Although it’s very rare, there’s still hope!” the female cultivator murmured.

“I heard that in the past, Qi of Stellar Heaven and Malignant Earth could be seen everywhere and used by anyone. There were even various precious Malignant Qi and Stellar Qi... Unfortunately, as time passed, they gradually became fewer... If I could become an Immortal or gain the assistance of an Immortal elder, it’d an easy task no matter whether it was Nine Heavens Stellar Qi or Nine Nether Malignant Qi! Unfortunately... we’re just in a small sect without much reputation yet. Throughout history, it has only had two Immortals. The current sect master and elder are both at Essence Soul...”

The male cultivator sighed.

Essence Soul was considered very powerful in the Spiritual Realm. They could astrally project within tens of thousands of kilometers and display the magical powers of many unbelievable abilities. However, they were still more than one realm away from being a true Immortal.

“This time we went down the mountains to train and seek for opportunities. Perhaps... the Spiritual Energy in this mountain suddenly accumulating indicates that our opportunity has arrived?” The female cultivator spoke to herself, and her beautiful eyes constantly looked about. Suddenly, she saw something. “There seems to be someone lying over there!”

“Could it be that the accumulation of Spiritual Energy just now was related to him? Is it a high-level True Cultivator that met with some adversity? Or perhaps someone with treasures on him?”

The male cultivator landed on the ground and held onto his flying sword. An unexplainable expression flashed in his eyes.

Meeting a high-level True Cultivator in the wild was both a risk and an opportunity.

If it was those demonic cultivators with some energy still in them, they would unhesitatingly kill a small True Cultivator walking past! Even a good person might not necessarily be able to maintain their morals at this moment, and any rash action could lead to life endangerment.

There were, however, two types of opportunities.

One was to take the initiative to treat and cure them, forming good relations; the other was to steal their treasures and cultivation techniques.

In a world where it was the survival of the fittest and the weak were the prey of the strong, such merciless laws of natural selection were also implemented within the sects of Spiritual Realm.

“Senior Brother?”

The junior sister with a noble personality also took out a magic artifact shaped like a white jade lotus flower and seemed that she was following the male cultivator’s lead.

I’ll go over to take a look first!

He walked forward and said, “Friend... you...”

While he was speaking, the male cultivator’s spiritual will scanned and he greatly frowned. “That’s not correct... how is it that he gives me the impression of an ordinary person? How could an ordinary person attract Spiritual Energy? No... this seems like an unimportant person who has just started cultivating and is only at first or second level of Qi Refinement.”

Whoosh!

At this moment, Fang Yuan suddenly sat up, scaring the female cultivator.

“Alright, you two kids, don’t be afraid. Who are you?”

Fang Yuan laughed, and impressively, he could clearly articulate the language of Spiritual Realm.

“Kid?!”

The male cultivator was a little infuriated. However, seeing that Fang Yuan had a spirit that struck fear in people, he strongly suppressed his anger. “I beg your pardon, Your Excellency’s name is...”

In his mind, he had already rapidly scanned through all the famous loose cultivators in this region, but did not find anyone who coincided with this person before him.

Fang Yuan raised his head and casually said, “My name is Fang Yuan!”
