Chapter 210: Ingesting Spiritual Plants, Enhancing Cultivation Base

Secluded in a serene chamber overflowing with abundant Spiritual Qi, Jiang Chen found himself seated on a woven mat, procuring a storage ring.

This band was the vault for the spiritual plants that Ji Mingxiu and his team had tirelessly collected!

A scan with his divine sense revealed to Jiang Chen the existence of two spiritual plants of the Dao Palace realm and a surplus of sixty spiritual plants from the Dao Comprehension realm within!

Even though the Dao Palace realm spiritual plants were one less than in the previous collection, Jiang Chen was still brimming with joy.

Simultaneously, Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning were given the sight of the spiritual plants in the ring.

Thanks to their special bond with Jiang Chen, as constituents of his Heaven-Defying Fate Changer, they had the privilege of viewing from his perspective when he allowed it.

As they observed him bring out these spiritual plants, both women found themselves caught off guard. Could it be possible that Jiang Chen planned to concoct pills?

However, in the succeeding moment, Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning were instantly taken aback.

Dispensing with any apprehension, Jiang Chen proceeded to ingest a raw spiritual plant directly!

"What?"

"Jiang Chen, what kind of cultivation method involves consuming spiritual plants raw? This is too peculiar! Shouldn't they be refined into pills?"

Shangguan Ning queried, her voice thick with disbelief.

Nangong Wan remained silent, but her shock mirrored that of Shangguan Ning's.

"I omitted to mention this."

"Consuming spiritual plants raw can augment my cultivation base..."

Jiang Chen patiently explained to Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning about the 'Burning World Red Lotus'.

Given that Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning had become integral parts of his Heaven-Defying Fate Changer, the prospect of betrayal was non-existent. Disclosing such matters to them would lead to benefits rather than disadvantages.

Swiftly, Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning grasped that Jiang Chen was in possession of the remains of a Void Tribulation realm Great Demon.

And from his descriptions, it was clear this was no ordinary Great Demon!

Upon realizing that Jiang Chen held such an ace up his sleeve, Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning felt a genuine surge of joy.

The stronger Jiang Chen became, the sooner they could regain their former strength!

Subsequently, Jiang Chen consumed one spiritual plant after the other.

The overwhelmingly potent medicinal strength burst forth instantly, channeling into his dantian, to be assimilated by the Burning World Red Lotus.

In a blink of an eye, another petal of the Burning World Red Lotus visibly rejuvenated, its moisture being restored at a rate perceptible to the bare eye.

After being revitalized, the Burning World Red Lotus reciprocated by delivering a staggering amount of cultivation base power. This served to advance Jiang Chen in every aspect, even further fortifying his Dao Core.

Each bone and muscle, the quintessential internal organs, the dantian, and meridians all experienced enhancement!

Even his soul underwent an upgrade.

When the strength of the spiritual plants had been wholly absorbed by the Burning World Red Lotus, Jiang Chen's cultivation base finally ascended to the zenith of the Middle-stage Inquiring Journey realm, grazing the threshold of the Late-stage Inquiring Journey realm.

'The time for another breakthrough is nigh!'

A glint of anticipation shone in Jiang Chen's eyes as he retrieved an Inquiring Journey realm breakthrough-type pill from the storage ring.

The Purple Heaven Holy Land might have been deficient in Dao Palace realm pills, but pills catering to the Dao Comprehension realm and the Inquiring Journey realm were fairly plentiful.

Prior to attaining the Dao Palace realm, there was no necessity for Jiang Chen to trade for breakthrough-type pills from his System.

"Smack!"

In a single gulp, Jiang Chen swallowed the pill.

The vigorous power of the pill stirred within him, akin to a wild flood in full force.

The ensuing moment saw the transformation of his Dao Core, radiant like a glowing sun, converting the surge into a profusion of Dao Yuan Power.

This Dao Yuan Power saturated Jiang Chen's body, amplifying in abundance.

The Dao Core, shining with the brilliance rivaling a sun, radiated even brighter.

Both the Dao Core and the Dao Yuan Power were persistently evolving, generating a virtuous cycle.

In such a manner, oscillating through these cycles, Jiang Chen's cultivation base naturally advanced to the Late-stage Inquiring Journey realm!

In his dantian, the Dao Core shone with an increasingly dazzling light, akin to an authentic blazing sun!

In his meridians, the immensely potent Dao Yuan Power surged wildly, invoking a formidable strength.

The strength of Jiang Chen's divine soul and body escalated correspondingly, benefiting from a considerable enhancement.

Crucially, the enhancement of his cultivation base allowed the cultivation methods Jiang Chen practiced to unfurl even greater potency.

Moreover, the Burning World Red Lotus was rejuvenated, and the power of the World Burning Raging Flames underwent further refinement.

Finally, Jiang Chen felt his Death Calamity True Dragon bloodline could exhibit even more exceptional power.

Since attaining the Death Calamity True Dragon bloodline, he hadn't yet exploited this trump card!

Simultaneously.

"Jiang Chen has achieved a breakthrough!"

"He's advanced to the Late-stage Inquiring Journey Realm, so rapidly!"

"Haha, this brings me such joy!"

"..."

Observing Jiang Chen's breakthrough, Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning were filled with pure elation.

'System! Display my panel!'

With a single thought, Jiang Chen brought forth his attribute panel before his eyes.

'Middle-stage Dao Comprehension realm, is it?'

'Perhaps, if I utilize the transformation technique of the Death Calamity True Dragon bloodline, and pair it with the 'Blood Sword Encompassing the Heavens' and the 'Burning World Raging Flames', I could potentially manifest the combat power comparable to the Late-stage Dao Comprehension realm.'

'However, this is merely my current strength. I still have a vast reserve of untapped qi and blood energy. Moreover, there are countless cultivation methods still open for practice!'

As Jiang Chen mulled over this internally, his gaze drifted towards the Wordless Heavenly Jade.

In the initial round of the demonic beast tide, only a minor fraction of the qi and blood energy he had garnered had been depleted.

Now, having triumphed over the second wave of the demonic beast tide, the remains of all the demonic beasts had fallen into his possession.

Furthermore, this second wave was considerably more vast than the first.

After absorbing the qi and blood from these demonic beast carcasses, the extraordinary energy within the Wordless Heavenly Jade had swelled to a point where he could practice four to five Dao Palace realm cultivation methods.

'It's time to delve into the ultimate cultivation methods of the Purple Heaven Holy Land!'

A spark of anticipation ignited in Jiang Chen's eyes. Three cultivation methods floated into his consciousness: the 'Purple Feather Misty Steps', the 'Dark Star Sky Splitting Sword Secrets', and the 'Purple Heaven Heavenly Thunder True Canon'.

These three methodologies stood amongst the most potent in the Purple Heaven Holy Land, all being Dao Palace realm cultivation methods.

However, they encompassed elements that could be studied and utilized at the Dao Comprehension realm.

Now, with a plentiful reserve of qi and blood energy, Jiang Chen elected to first master these three cultivation methods.

'Let's commence with the Purple Feather Misty Steps!'

With a single thought, Jiang Chen's soul naturally began to meld with the Wordless Heavenly Jade, and intricate details about the Purple Feather Misty Steps started to surface in his mind.

In an instant, he completed the process of recalling the content of the Purple Feather Misty Steps.

The majestic miraculous power, much like a flood bursting a dam, rushed out, allowing Jiang Chen to master the martial technique to the perfect-level stage instantaneously!

In silence, Jiang Chen felt as though he had metamorphosed into a weightless feather, elusive and ethereal, like a wisp of smoke or fog. One moment he was present, and in the blink of an eye, he would reappear somewhere else, leaving no trace or indication, making his movements virtually unpredictable.

The power of the Great Dao wielded in this cultivation method was precisely the Wind Dao!

An extensive collection of profound teachings from the Wind Dao brought Jiang Chen's comprehension of it ever closer to perfection.
