“This is the cruelty of time. If one cannot continue moving forward, even with profound cultivation levels, they will still fall on the path to immortal life,” Su Yu reflected, “It’s not about walking fast, but walking steadily.”
“Walking steadily is not as good as being able to keep walking.”
With this thought, Su Yu perked up a bit.
The speed of his cultivation indeed was not fast.
But he had a proficiency panel; as long as he increased proficiency, he could keep growing his cultivation level, with no bottleneck.
Those prodigies might have fast advancement speed in the early stage, but when they reached the limit of their talents, they would feel the desperation of not being able to break through, stuck between life and death.
They couldn’t keep walking forever.
But he could!
Luo Qianyu followed suit. She looked at Su Yu’s silent figure and whispered, “This is the path of cultivation, the further you go the lonelier it gets. There might come a day when all the elders, parents, friends, and even companions have left, leaving only oneself.”
At this moment, an ancient and weathered aura enveloped Su Yu.
In the blink of an eye.
Standing not far behind Su Yu, Luo Qianyu only felt slightly dizzy. There was a moment when it seemed she and Su Yu existed in two different timespaces.
But when Luo Qianyu looked at Su Yu again after calming her mind, the previous feeling had disappeared.
This made Luo Qianyu slightly confused – what just happened?
“Humm!”
At this moment, a subtle change occurred with Su Yu, his cultivation level elevated from the first level of the Core Formation Realm to the second level.
The spiritual energy of the whole mountain range was drawn and rushed towards him, at the very moment Su Yu’s cultivation level changed.
An endless amount of nature’s spiritual energy was absorbed and poured into Su Yu’s body, being refined into the Five Elements Mana by the naturally operating Five Elements Method.
The Five Elements Mana that was refined seemed to carry a hint of an unusual aura.
Yu Ke’er, Luo Qianyu, Su Zhi, Su Qi, as well as Su Bin, Su Rui’an, and Yu Wenji, who were behind him, were all stunned by this scene.
Could he really break through his cultivation level like this?
No, that’s not right.
Should one say that his cultivation level could break through in this way?
Only Su Yu himself knew most clearly. The aura of time that had been accumulating deep within his body had faded considerably.
In a flash, it seemed as if he had experienced more than a decade.
Not only did his internal Five Elements Method improve, but even his body refinement technique silently advanced to the twentieth level, and its proficiency had reached 87%, not far from the twenty-first level.
As for the Five Elements Method, it had advanced to the second level of the Core Formation Realm, with a proficiency of 13.11%.
The process lasted more than two hours.
It was only after Su Yu’s breakthrough movement ceased, having absorbed enough of nature’s spiritual energy to be converted into his own mana, that the spiritual energy of the entire mountain range became thinner. It would take at least several hours for it to recover.
He looked at his proficiency panel.
[Lifespan: 136/970 years.]
[Cultivation Techniques: Five Elements Method (Core Formation Realm second level, proficiency 13.11%), Crocodile Demon 108-Style Body Refinement Technique (Level 20, proficiency 87.45%), Golden Cicada Method (Level 3, proficiency 42.74%), Blood Whale Swallow Moon Technique (Level 3, proficiency 10%).]
“After breaking through to the second level of the Core Formation Realm from the first level, my lifespan has increased by 36 years,” Su Yu reflected.
If calculated this way, by the time he reaches the ninth level of the Core Formation Realm, wouldn’t his lifespan reach 1,200 or 1,300 years?
He took a deep breath and was shocked: ‘That’s more than double the lifespan of an average person at the ninth level of the Core Formation Realm.’
He might outlive a True Monarch of the Nascent Soul Realm.
The twentieth level of the Body Refinement Technique was equivalent to the second level of the Core Formation Realm, and he was not far from the next level in terms of proficiency.
The proficiency of the Golden Cicada Method improved steadily, already reaching almost half.
Apart from these,
Su Yu’s mind fell on his Dantian, where the Golden Core was the main focus of this time’s time aura metamorphosis.
The Golden Core he had previously condensed had only three patterns, which were Triple Rotation Golden Cores.
But now, there was a faint texture on his Golden Core.
The fourth pattern had appeared.
Compared to the previous three patterns, this fourth one was still a bit vague and not very obvious.
Su Yu looked at the fourth phantom pattern, feeling its aura, frowning slightly, “It seems to carry a bit of a…time aura.”
However, the appearance of the fourth phantom pattern made Su Yu feel a bit excited and happy: ‘Really can improve the quality of Golden Core, this time the power of the time aura allowed my Golden Core to step half way through to becoming a Four-Turn Golden Core.’
The most obvious result of this was a slight change in his Five Elements Mana.
Without a closer inspection, after the breakthrough, Su Yu slowly opened his eyes. He looked at the tombstones of Su Yun and Su Ruosu, and once again bowed respectfully. After that, he turned around to look at Luo Qianyu, Yu Ke’er and the others.
In Luo Qianyu’s eyes, a spark flashed as she looked at him, “Did you break through? To the second level of the Core Formation Realm?”
Su Yu grinned to confirm, “I had an insight and broke through.”
Upon hearing this, Su Bin, Su Rui’an, Su Qi, and the others instantly showed joy on their faces.
Since Su Yu’s cultivation level could still break through, it indicated that Su Yu’s future would not stop at the early stage of the Core Formation Realm, he might even reach the middle or late stages.
With such a Core Formation Realm cultivator present, the future of the Su Family was destined to be more glorious.
After returning to the clan from the cemetery,
Su Yu thought for a bit, then called over Su Rui’an and Yu Wenji, and asked them to bring the three children along.
