However, Zhou Sui could not afford to wait for several years.
After all, the current situation is so dangerous, who knows when the Ghost Demon Sect will break through the defense formation of Misty Cloud City.
If they succeed, it would be far too dangerous considering his current level of cultivation.
Even if he could hide in an underground shelter, who knew what could happen unexpectedly.
What if some disaster cultivator, or a Foundation Establishment cultivator, discovered the underground shelter he built himself.
This is not an impossibility.
Only great strength can handle any sudden or dangerous situation.
Therefore, he could not afford the time to spend several years breaking through the bottleneck of the Late Qi Cultivation. If he could, he would like to break through now to improve his strength as quickly as possible.
Luckily, he had been prepared for a while.
Several months ago, Zhou Sui had obtained a Breakthrough Pill from those cultivators of the Ghost Demon Sect.
Because for these few months, the cultivators of the Ghost Demon Sect had no plans to chase and kill him, it seemed that they had forgotten those sect cultivators, so now the Breakthrough Pill had long been brought back by his Clone.
With the help of this pill, he could save a lot of time and successfully break through to the Late Qi Cultivation.
He had to admit, he should also be thankful for those cultivators of the Ghost Demon Sect, if it weren’t for them, he wouldn’t have been able to get such a precious Breakthrough Pill.
“Let’s begin.”
With that thought, Zhou Sui did not hesitate, and immediately took the Breakthrough Pill.
Boom
Suddenly, he felt a violent outburst of medicinal power, it was the medicinal power of the Breakthrough Pill.
Different from the Golden Marrow Pill, the medicinal power of the Breakthrough Pill was as fierce as a volcanic eruption, almost irresistible.
This fierce medicinal power rushed towards the bottleneck.
Like a flood, it incessantly hit like a dam.
Crack—
In an instant, Zhou Sui found that the seemingly indestructible bottleneck was actually broken by the violent medicinal power of the Breakthrough Pill, showing tiny cracks. If he had cultivated by himself, it would have taken several years to show such signs.
But with the help of the Breakthrough Pill, the bottleneck was broken immediately.
This is the effect of the pill, infinite in its uses.
Crack, crack—
Zhou Sui circulated the True Yuan power within his body, driving the raging medicinal power repeatedly against the bottleneck, causing more and more cracks to form.
He didn’t know how long it had been.
His original bottleneck seemed to be densely covered with cracks, just like shattered glass.
Boom—
The next second, with the help of the massive medicinal power, this bottleneck was instantly broken through.
Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer!
Late Qi Cultivation!
Undoubtedly, with the help of the Breakthrough Pill, Zhou Sui successfully broke through the bottleneck of mid Qi Cultivation and fully entered the realm of late Qi Cultivation. His strides felt like open seas and spacious skies, basically unhindered.
Splish, Splash—
At this moment, he felt that the True Yuan power in his body had doubled immediately compared to before. It ran through his meridians like a river flowing in each one.
Even his Soul Power saw a further surge.
Originally, his Divine Sense was only comparable to an early Foundation Establishment cultivator, but now, it’s on par with mid Foundation Establishment stage, his Divine Sense had greatly increased.
At the same time, the power of his six Gu Insects – Dream Soul Gu, Obsession Gu, Gold Eating Bug, Clone Gu, Bookworm, and Wine Bug – had also improved to a certain extent.
They have also collectively risen to the realm of First-grade Superior, each carrying an immense amount of energy within them.
Of course, the Obsession Gu, initially at the level of low Second Stage, has impressively advanced to a Mid-Class of Second Stage.
Its level of evolution is the highest of all.
“Incredible.”
Zhou Sui opens his eyes, they gleam drastically in astonishment. He feels an indescribable thrill in his heart. Having devoted so much time and using numerous pills, he has finally enhanced his cultivation to the Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer.
This endeavor has taken slightly above two years of his time.
Keep in mind, it took his predecessors, his parents, decades of cultivation, to reach the Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer.
But, as of now, his cultivation is on par with that of his parents from days gone by.
If this news leaks out, it is bound to astonish countless loose cultivators.
Such pace of progress, even inside a sect, would be regarded as a mark of genius.
Of course, he would not be so foolish as to broadcast his true cultivation level. If he did, people would certainly sense that something was amiss.
Without experiencing something extraordinary, how could one’s cultivation rise at such rapid pace?
Doing so would definitely attract the covetous gaze of untoward cultivators.
He prefers to keep a low profile, such high-profile behavior doesn’t suit his character.
“Not bad.”
Zhou Sui unconsciously glances at the virtual panel on his body. After all, only the virtual panel can provide him detailed knowledge of how far his current cultivation has truly evolved.
[Host: Zhou Sui, Cultivation: Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer (Progress 1%), Lifespan: 20 (150) years]
[Aptitude: Seventh grade Spiritual Root (20%)]
[Swordsmanship: First-grade Superior (80%)]
[Rune: First-grade Superior (65%)]
[Seventh-Order formation: Mid-First-grade (85%)]
[Pill Master: First-grade Superior (45%)]
[Phantasma Transformation Skill: Proficient (95%)]
[Five Elements Alchemy Technique: Proficient (45%)]
[Fireball Technique: Great Achievement (45%), Wind Blade Art: Proficient, Golden Light Skill: Proficient, Ice Frost Skill: Proficient, Spring Wind Rain Skill: Proficient, Lightning Summoning Skill: Proficient…]
[Obsession Gu: Mid-Class of Second Stage, Clone Gu: First-grade Superior, Wine Bug: First-grade Superior, Gold Eating Bug: First-grade Superior, Book Worm: First-grade Superior, Dream Soul Gu: First-grade Superior.]
Suddenly, a plethora of detailed information instantly appears before him.
He has to admit, the power of Bookworm is mysteriously boundless, as it can digitize all data related to his body and skills, greatly facilitating his examination of his cultivation results.
If the power of Bookworm could radiate outwards, there is no telling how many powerful cultivators it would bring forth in the Cultivation World.
“Not too shabby, it seems that the aptitude of the Spirit Root can continue to ascend. If it can get promoted to the Sixth stage Spirit Root, it will be comparable to having a Mid Grade Spirit Root’s aptitude. That will certainly improve the efficiency of the cultivation process. But for the time being, it should be impossible to improve.”
“The skills like Swordsmanship, Runes, and Seventh-Order Formations etc. have also been uplifted to a certain extent.”
“But the most essential aspect is the increase in Alchemist Cultivation. Given another year and half, perhaps it could elevate to the First-grade Superior mastery realm, and then I would be able to transition to a Second Stage Pill Master.”
“As this is the key to future cultivation, it is of prime importance. For now, I should focus on refinement skills.”
Zhou Sui strokes his chin, looks at the virtual panel and starts planning his next steps in cultivation.
Although Misty Cloud City currently seems on the brink of danger, being surrounded by the Ghost Demon Sect, Misty Cloud City has the protection of a Second Stage formation, and is not in immediate danger of being breached.
So in the short term, there isn’t much danger to Misty Cloud City.
He can still focus on his cultivation for a period of time..
