Chapter 23: Breaking through the Spirit Core Realm!

The Spirit Navigating Boat was entirely purple and gold in color, shimmering with an icy luster under the sunlight, giving people a feeling of invincibility.

Li Xun bit his fingertip and forced out a drop of blood, which he then dripped onto the Spirit Navigating Boat. "Buzz!"

In the instant that the Spirit Navigating Boat absorbed the blood, an inexplicable wave spread out. The originally palm-sized Spirit Navigating Boat suddenly grew in size, reaching ten zhang (35,8 Meters) in length.

A flag was waving in the wind at the bow of the ship, making a rustling sound. "Wow, it's so big?"

Li Xun looked up and stared in amazement at the Spirit Navigating Boat floating above the small courtyard.

This could no longer be described as a boat.

To be more precise, it should be called a warship!

Looking at the flag at the bow of the ship, Li Xun had a thought and a dragon-and-phoenix dance style "Li" character suddenly appeared on the previously blank flag. "This is about right," Li Xun said in satisfaction.

With the spirit boat, he wouldn't need to exert effort to rush on his journeys in the future. This thing was much more convenient than a flying sword. With just a few pieces of spiritual stones, he could sustain it for a long time. When others were flying on their swords, Li Xun only needed to sit cross-legged inside the spirit boat and focus on cultivating.

"In the future, if I encounter a strong enemy in the wilderness, even if I can't beat them, I shouldn't have any problem escaping," Li Xun thought. The strength of the spirit boat lay in the two words "flight." If he urged it to go at full speed, it was unknown whether the elders of the Xuan Yang Sect would be able to catch up.

It was just a pity that the two things couldn't be compared.

With a wave of his hand, Li Xun put away the spirit boat.

Back in his room, he sat cross-legged on the bed, flipped his hand over, and the identity jade plaque appeared. He pressed it to his forehead and quickly memorized the contents of the Purple Sun Heavenly Technique.

Then, he took out a communication pill and swallowed it in one gulp.

Having reached the pinnacle of the Elemental Spirit Realm for two days, it was time to break through!

With the communication pill in his stomach, he began to cultivate.

Instantly, it turned into a rich spiritual energy. This spiritual energy did not scatter throughout his body, but instead flowed backwards and surged into Li Xun's mind.

"To break through the Spirit Core Realm, I need to open up my sea of consciousness and give birth to divine consciousness. This is the most critical step in cultivation..."

Li Xun didn't dare to be careless. He slowly closed his eyes and began to practice according to the Purple Sun Heavenly Technique in his mind.

"Boom boom boom!"

Loud rumbling sounds echoed through the air.

The rumbling was not coming from outside, but from deep within Li Xun's mind.

At this moment, Li Xun felt countless clouds and mist churning in the depths of his mind, like a chaotic realm, but as the rumbling grew louder, the mist quickly receded.

Gradually, the sky cleared and a vast space appeared before his eyes.

This was the legendary sea of consciousness!

It felt like a long time had passed, yet it also felt like it had happened in an instant. Li Xun felt that his five senses had reached an extreme level of sensitivity. Even though he hadn't opened his eyes, he could see everything within a radius of a kilometer.

His divine consciousness had finally been born!

This was a standard requirement for the Spirit Core Realm!

At this point, Li Xun knew that he had successfully made a breakthrough.

But he still didn't open his eyes, still immersed in cultivation.

Time passed.

More than 20 days quickly went by.

In Li Xun's small courtyard.

A tall figure, with black hair and holding a long spear, moved out with agility, piercing through the void wherever the spear went, causing a chilling whine.

After a long time.

Li Xun stopped, standing with his spear. His eyes were extremely deep, and a layer of golden light shimmered on the surface of his body. From afar, he looked like a celestial being, with a powerful aura.

"After twenty-three days, I have finally cultivated both the Golden Body Art and the Star-Shattering Halberd Technique to a small success, after transforming my true essence into the Purple Sun Heavenly Technique."

Li Xun didn't know whether his speed was fast or slow, as he had no point of reference.

But he estimated that compared to the other disciples of the Xuan Yang Sect, he was neither too fast nor too slow.

"The Golden Body Art is indeed a top-grade technique of the Profound level. It wasn't until yesterday that I barely reached a small success, while the Star-Shattering Halberd Technique will be able to reach great success in some time."

"Unfortunately, I haven't comprehended the rumored Spear Intent."

Li Xun swept a glance at the long spear in his hand and shook his head slightly.

"I practice the Star-Shattering Halberd Technique, but I use the Cloud Breaking Spear. To be honest, even if I truly understand some sort of artistic conception, I cannot be sure whether I have comprehended the Spear Intent or the Halberd Intent.

On the surface, these two weapons are similar, but in reality, they are completely different.

The spear is agile but lacks power, while the halberd has plenty of power but lacks agility. They can be said to be two completely different extremes.

"Calculating the time, I have been practicing for almost a month now, and it's time to do a sect mission."

The Xuan Yang Sect has regulations.

Any Inner disciples must do a sect mission every month, that means, they need to do at least twelve sect missions in a year.

It can be completed in one go, or it can be left until the end of the year, but it cannot be ignored.

Doing an extra one will not receive a reward, but failing to complete one will definitely be punished.

"Let's go to the Azure Cloud Hall first and see if there are any suitable missions. If there are, I'll take on a few more. If not, I'll wait a while."

Li Xun put away his Cloud Breaking Spear and left his courtyard, quickly heading towards the Azure Cloud Hall.

The Azure Cloud Hall was quite a distance from Li Xun's courtyard.

It took him over an hour to arrive.

Inside the Azure Cloud Hall, there were many people, and after Li Xun entered, he looked around at everyone, feeling a bit disappointed.

With so many people in the hall, there wasn't a single one glowing.

At this time.

The four high walls of the Azure Cloud Hall were already covered in jade plaques, and many disciples were standing under each wall.

"Collect ten stems of Orchid Grass.

Requirement: No less than 100 years old.

Time: Ten days.

Reward: Three pieces of high-grade spirit stone."

"Collect twenty pieces of Crimson Crystal.

Requirement: Top quality.

Time: Twenty days.

Reward: Twenty pieces of medium-grade spirit stone."

Li Xun looked at each jade plaque one by one, but none of the missions caught his eye."
