Sovereign to Immortality

Yang Junshan could clearly feel the changes that were gradually happening in his dantian. Yang Junshan's dantian was originally the Dharma Idol of a hill. When he was in the Martial Disciple Realm, as his cultivation level increased, the hill was also rising higher and higher.    

    

After he advanced to the Mortal Realm, the True Essence in his body turned into astral energy. As this hill rose in height, the clouds formed from True Essence Qi also began to gather around the hill.    

    

As Yang Junshan reached the peak of the Heavenly Transformation Stage, the layer of clouds surrounding his dantian became denser and the color became darker. At first glance, it looked like dark clouds covering his entire body.    

    

At this moment, the thick layer of clouds formed by the Yuangang Heavenly Energy was accumulating in the air above the hill that his dantian had transformed into. It even felt like it was about to collapse if he couldn't hold on for much longer.    

    

Yang Junshan knew that at this time, the conditions for breaking through the bottleneck of the Heavenly Dipper Realm and advancing to the Star Condensation Realm had already been met.    

    

The surface of the purple pill in the jade bottle was covered with natural fire and cloud patterns from the process of refining pills. This kind of mysterious pattern was able to combine and condense the huge amount of spiritual energy contained in the countless spiritual herbs into this small pill, and after the cultivator swallowed it, he would slowly release the spiritual energy contained within it.    

    

This was the most valuable of the three treasured pellets he had obtained from Junior Brother Qiao. The "Gale Treasure Pellet" was able to assist cultivators in breaking through the bottleneck of the Astral Transformation stage. Even amongst the treasured pellets, it was considered an extremely rare high quality.    

    

Without hesitation, Yang Junshan swallowed the pill. The surging spiritual energy in his stomach immediately burst out, then according to the circulation route of the Nine-Toughness Secret Art, it was refined into a pure Nine Flying True Handle, continuously flowing into the Astral Clouds above the mountain peak formed by his Dantian.    

    

After Yang Junshan decided to rush to the Astral Reaching Realm, he started to circulate his Spiritual Awareness into his Dantian according to the Cultivation Method of the Nine Transformations of the Mountain. Then, with the help of the True Divine Art, he slowly began to revolve the Astral Cloud in his Dantian.    

    

This was an extremely important step in breaking through the bottleneck of the Astral Transformation Stage. When a Heavenly Transformation Stage cultivator attempted to break through to the Astral Reaching Realm, they would most likely attempt to push the Astral Cloud to its limits.    

    

This step was related to the cultivation techniques a cultivator cultivated, the accumulation of their knowledge, the strength of their fleshly body, the environment in which they cultivated, the medicinal pills they consumed, and other things.    

    

Yang Junshan's Nine Bones Formula was naturally a top-notch art, it was very useful in pushing the Supreme Cloud to spin, but at the same time, the Qi Cloud accumulated by the Nine Bones Formula was also very heavy. If it was any other cultivator, facing such a vigorous accumulation of Qi, they would have no way of pushing the Qi Cloud in their Dantian to spin.    

    

But no matter if it was the cultivation of spiritual consciousness or the cultivation of the body, Yang Junshan was the strongest. In addition, he used 72 jade crystals to arrange the Five Elements Spirit Convergence Array in his cultivation cave to ensure a sufficient supply of external spiritual energy. Finally, he added another True Essence formed by the Astral Gathering Pill into his Dantian, and it directly entered the rotation of his spiritual consciousness.    

    

It was as if a basin of water had been stirred up by a single hand and was initially just a ripple. However, as the arm continued to move, more and more water was drawn in and began to spin with the arm. Finally, the entire basin of water started to spin.    

    

The condensed Astral Cloud above Yang Junshan's dantian started to move from a small range to an increasing number of clouds. In the end, the entire Astral Cloud above his dantian started to spin, which took a very long time to complete.    

    

Yang Junshan spent more than half a year's time to revolve the Supreme Cloud in his dantian around the hill, and at this time, Yang Junshan was almost eighty to ninety percent close to breaking through to the Astral Reaching Realm.    

    

The Astral Energy around his dantian began to spin faster and faster, and the Astral Energy around his dantian was slowly being absorbed. The entire area that the Astral Energy cloud covered was shrinking, and the deeper he moved, the denser the Astral Energy cloud became. It was also until the center of the spinning Astral Energy cloud gradually started to droop towards the top of the hill, forming a huge funnel.    

    

At this moment, Yang Junshan's spiritual consciousness suddenly connected with the hill that his dantian had transformed into, Yang Junshan felt his entire body suddenly tremble, instantly, he felt as if he was floating like a feather and about to ascend to the immortal. Then, the surrounding spiritual energy started to gather towards him, the spiritual energy in the 72 jade stones laid down by the Spirit Convergence Array was completely absorbed, turning into 72 piles of powder.    

    

The formation around the ice cliff could no longer hide Yang Junshan's aura. As his cultivation increased, his spiritual sense extended outwards, and the spiritual energy on the ice plains converged below the ice cliff, even forming a strong wind, sweeping up the snow and ice on the ground, causing the sky to turn into chaos.    

    

As the Astral Cloud Swirl in Yang Junshan's dantian slowly took shape, with the ice cliff as its center, a massive vortex of spiritual energy began to form. From afar, the vortex looked like a tornado piercing through the horizon.    

    

Fortunately, this place was located in the Arctic Icecap, it was originally desolate and desolate. After the drastic change in the Endless Glacier two years ago, there were even fewer cultivators in the Arctic Icecap, and other than the alien cultivators, there were only a few wild beasts and savage beasts roaming about.    

    

Although there were no cultivators nearby, they still attracted an Icy Plains Cold Hawk to investigate. After circling around the huge whirlpool of air at the center of the ice cliff for a while, the falcon let out a long cry and flew back to where it came from.    

    

At the same time, the long cry woke up Yang Junshan, who had just advanced to the Qi Condensation stage. The reason he chose to go into seclusion in the icy plains was because he knew that this place was desolate and lonely.    

    

However, the breakthrough phenomenon was quite big. Although it did not attract anyone, there were alien cultivators that could control beasts on the ice plains. This cold eagle might bring the alien cultivators to investigate since he had been in seclusion here for nearly three years, but he did not know anything about the situation in the outside world.    

    

Fortunately, Yang Junshan was already prepared. Or rather, that Junior Brother Qiao who fell in the Snow Wind Sword Sect was already prepared. With a flick of Yang Junshan's wrist, he took out a jade bottle that contained a 'Vitality Solidifying Pill' from his storage ring.    

    

The Origin Freezing Pill was specially used by newly advanced cultivators to stabilize their cultivation.    

    

During this period of time, a cultivator's cultivation base would be at its most unstable. If one was not careful, it was possible for their cultivation level to drop back to its original state, and even if one managed to maintain their cultivation, it could cause a huge loss to the cultivator's vitality. Afterwards, they would have to spend a longer time to recover from their injuries, and there might be no hope of increasing their cultivation level again in the future.    

    

With the Origin Setting Pill in his possession, Yang Junshan could easily reduce the time he needed to consolidate his cultivation to three to five days. On that day, this was only a temporary measure, but at least Yang Junshan would be able to use his strength after breaking through to the Astral Reaching Realm.    

    

After refining the Pure Yuan Dan, Yang Junshan could feel a thin layer of spiritual energy gradually covering the surface of the Astral Cloud Swirl, as if a layer of protection had been added to the surface of the fragile object. However, this couldn't really change the fragile nature of the item, and to change it, the only way was to continue strengthening the item in the future.    

    

Yang Junshan whistled. Suddenly, a young eagle's cry came from outside the ice cave. Then, a white shadow jumped in and climbed up to Yang Junshan's shoulder.    

    

Then the sound of wind came from outside the cave again, and a cloud of snow foam came in, and then a small eagle slowly walked in from outside. Seeing the ice fox on Yang Junshan's shoulder, it suddenly spread its two feet wide wings and flapped them, and the strong flow of air immediately messed up the cave.    

    

Yang Junshan tilted his head, glanced at the little ice fox on his shoulder, and pretended to be unhappy: "Xue Yi, are you bullying the little eagle again?"    

    

With a chirp from the ice fox, its upper body stood on its own, opening up its two front claws with an extremely innocent expression. Seeing this, the falcon that had retracted its wings at the cave entrance immediately opened its wings to fan them.    

    

"Alright, alright. You two, stop messing around. We're leaving the ice plains!"    

    

Half a day after Yang Junshan and the two little guys left the ice cave that was used for closed door cultivation for three years, the sky near the ice cliff suddenly changed again. The originally dark and cloudy sky suddenly turned into a blizzard, and then the blizzard suddenly swept away to both sides like a curtain.    

    

At this moment, the cries of the eagles came from behind the beautiful woman. The falcon that had been patrolling the area earlier and had discovered the strange phenomenon of the world was hovering in the air far away from her. The cries of the falcons seemed to be explaining to the young woman.    

    

"I know, you don't need to explain. There was indeed someone cultivating here earlier, but that person has already left!"    

    

As the girl spoke softly, the falcon behind her seemed to heave a sigh of relief. It started circling around the girl faster and faster.    

    

A moment later, a look of surprise flashed across her face and she said, "What a pure heaven and earth origin energy. Although this person's cultivation is low, the cultivation method he cultivates is not simple, and this person is also a formation master? Although the formation array here has been destroyed after he left, from some clues, this person's formation technique must be extremely ancient."    

    

He still dares to cultivate in seclusion on the ice plains at a time like this, which means that he has some guts. If it was a normal person, he would be interested in teasing this person, but unfortunately, there are other important things he needs to do. Humph.    

    

Yang Junshan did not know that he was almost targeted by a terrifying existence. However, as he snuck out of the extreme north ice plains carefully and entered Liang Prefecture, he heard a shocking piece of news — — The Snow Wind Sword Sect has split apart. Three years ago, a portion of the Snow Wind Sword Sect's cultivators, under the leadership of several sect elders, betrayed the Snow Wind Sword Sect and established another sect in Liang Prefecture, calling it the "Ice Palace"!
