Chapter 231: Chapter 210: Promotion to Fifth-grade spiritual root, Grandmaster Level Alchemy l
Translator: 549690339 I
Five years later, in the Canglan Sea region.
More than thirty flying boats were soaring in the sky overhead, belonging to the three major sects; Immortal Mist Sect, Qingmu Sect, and Danding Faction.
They traveled grandly through the sky.
In the past five years, they didn’t even know how many, many miles they had flown.
They had encountered an unknown number of difficulties and dangers.
But fortunately, they were finally about to reach the destination, and the people on board the flying boat were elated and excited.
Each of them was filled with anticipation, looking forward to the arrival of a new life.
At this moment, on the third-class flying boat of the Immortal Mist Sect, in a quiet room,
It was also the place where Zhou Sui usually closed himself off for cultivation.
Whooosh—
Zhou Sui sat cross-legged on the ground, his mind serene.
He could perceive a stream of mysterious energy surging out from the Obsession Gu, flowing into his whole body, blending into every corner of his body, which caused earth-shaking changes in him.
Especially when it rushed into the spiritual root in his body, transforming it. Thump!
At this moment, his body shook, as if his bones and muscles were being struck by thunder, striking a resounding note across his entire body.
Fifth grade spiritual root!
After five years of hard work, his spiritual root had finally advanced from the sixth-grade spiritual root level to the fifth-grade spiritual root realm.
“Finally upgraded.”
A joyful expression appeared on Zhou Sui’s face. Five years ago, he believed that his sixth-grade spiritual root had reached 99% of its potential and that he would break through with just one more step.
However, he underestimated the difficulty of a spiritual root breakthrough.
This is a huge bottleneck.
Even if it was only 1% progress left, it still took a grinding five years.
It was only after this that he truly broke through to the fifth-grade spiritual root level.
Although the process was arduous and consumed a lot of time, every bit was worth it.
“The efficiency of cultivation has increased, at least twice as fast.”
Zhou Sui was overjoyed, he activated the Insect God Sutra to draw in the spiritual energy between heaven and earth. The vast spiritual energy, like a flood, was swallowed by his spiritual root and flowed into his body.
At this moment, he felt the mana in his body rising greatly.
The efficiency of his cultivation had increased by one-fold.
Although there is only one level difference between the fifth-grade spiritual root and sixth-grade spiritual root, the gap between them is as vast as heaven and earth.
If one was in the Golden Core Sect, a sixth-grade spiritual root would only qualify one as an outer sect disciple, but a fifth-grade spiritual root could make one an inner sect disciple.
As for the fourth-grade spiritual root, it would put one among the elite of the inner sect disciples.
If one’s aptitude could reach the level of third-grade spiritual root, then one would be treated as a true disciple.
So, the gap in aptitude is what makes the difference in future achievements.
If you fall behind once, then you will always be behind.
But luckily, with the help of the power of the Obsession Gu, his spiritual root aptitude has been improved.
If he continues to refine it, he could eventually improve it to a first grade spiritual root, or even the heavenly spiritual root level.
“Right, let’s see how my body’s data is.”
At this moment, Zhou Sui opened the virtual panel on his body.
[Host: Zhou Sui, cultivation: Middle stage of Foundation Establishment (progress 90%), lifespan: 40 (1600) years]
[Aptitude: Fifth-grade spiritual root (1%)]

Undoubtedly, the hard work of these five years is of great value.
Apart from his spiritual root being upgraded to the fifth-grade realm, his various abilities had also been greatly improved.
Especially his mastery of formations, it had reached the high-class of the third stage.
The distance to the fourth stage of the Array Master was not particularly far anymore.
“At the level of a high-class third stage Array Master? Bitter cultivation of formations indeed helps.”
Zhou Sui stroked his chin, very satisfied.
For the past five years, because they had been staying in the flying boat on the road most of the time, it was quite boring.
Apart from cultivating in union with his Dao companion and collectively realizing the cultivation Dao, the rest of the time was mainly used to practice the Hundred Arts of Cultivation.
Among them, formation was the art that consumed most of his cultivation.
Because the Formation is just too important for cultivators.
Whether it’s to establish sects, build families, or to build one’s own cave dwelling, formations are of utmost importance.
If there is no Formation for protection, enemies can easily invade one’s territory.
Even when one is in seclusion for cultivation, without the protection of formations, one could easily be disturbed.
So, no matter which cultivator, if conditions permit, they need to have a certain understanding of formations.
Even if they cannot set up formations personally, they should at least understand some of the principles.
Only by doing so can the cultivation be more effective.
It can be said that once he reached the high-class third stage formation level, he was basically the strongest formation master among the three major sects of the Immortal Mist Sect, Qingmu Sect, and Danding Faction..
