Sovereign to Immortality

This time, the condensed spiritual energy within his body was infused with demonic energy. He didn’t know how much effort he had to put in to expel it all!

Yang Junshan secretly sighed, this was a forced thing to do, he had originally planned to complete the “Blood Refinement Spirit Art” and advance into the “Realm of Immortal Summoning”, before accepting the inheritance of the eight Monarch Map on the stone wall. This way, even if he had to absorb the Spirit Demon Qi as a medium to be able to accept the mysterious inheritance of the eight pictures, with Yang Junshan’s advanced cultivation in summoning the spirit, it would be much easier to expel the Spirit Demon Qi that had fused into his body.

Unfortunately, Yang Junshan unleashed the “Blood Refinement Spirit Art” twice in a row, almost pushing his body to the edge of collapse. In order to smoothly circulate the “Wutu Spiritual Art” in his body, Yang Junshan had no choice but to absorb the demonic energy emitted from the stone wall before he advanced into the “Spiritual Summoning Spirit Realm”, and forcefully accept the body tempering inheritance from the stone wall that led to the mountain, in order to save his body that was on the verge of collapse.

Although Yang Junshan had never been lucky enough to obtain these mysterious demon clan inheritances in his previous life, he had heard people talk about them more than once. The way a cultivator wanted to obtain these demon clan inheritances was extremely simple, and that was to ingest a certain amount of demon energy during cultivation and mix it with the spirit energy in his body.

However, Demonic Qi was different from the Spiritual Energy that cultivators absorb. Human cultivators were not like Demonic Beasts, and when the Demonic Qi mixed into a cultivator’s body, they might not be able to see much for a short period of time, but with the increase in their cultivation, the Demonic Qi would become stronger and stronger like maggots in the bones of a person. It would also become more and more difficult to expel it from the cultivator’s body, and after crossing the martial arts realm, the Demonic Qi would completely merge with the cultivator and becomalf human half monster.

Following the inheritance of the Lying Tiger Diagram, Yang Junshan started to practice the《 Wutu Spiritual Art》 which was supposed to circulate the tortoise speed in his body. The endless amount of spirit energy, after passing through the locations of the two spiritual cavities in his body and his gallbladder, was finally able to circulate through that small crack under the mountainous pressure.

Perhaps it was because there warace of demonic energy in his body, but as Yang Junshan continuously moved the spirit energy in his body, the circulation of the《 Wutu Spiritual Art》 became smoother.

And when the《 Wutu Spiritual Art》 completed a complete cycle in Yang Junshan’s body with extreme difficulty, Yang Junshan instantly felt his body shake. From the location of the two immortal cavities, two thick and dense streams of spirit energy, like melted snow on a snowy mountain, hurriedly rushed down from the top of the mountain and crashed onto the two immortal cavities with a “boom”.

The dense spiritual energy transformed into a mountain torrent and charged into the Spiritual Aperture, but the two Spiritual Apertures did not move at all. Instead, they caused the surging spiritual energy to smash into pieces and rush around the meridians in his body, causing the spiritual energy that was circulating in an orderly manner to go into chaos.

This collision caused Yang Junshan’s mind to waver, the complete cycle of the spirit energy that he had painstakingly built up in his body almost crumbled. f𝔯ee𝘸𝘦𝚋𝒏oѵ𝐞l.c𝒐𝓂

However, Yang Junshan was not alarmed and was instead happy, he anxiously gathered his mind and used all his might to maintain the circulation of the spirit energy in his body, and at the same time, used the power of the Wutu Spiritual Art, and worked hard to fuse the two streams of dense spirit energy into his meridians, causing the spirit energy accumulated in Yang Junshan’s body to increase by a lot.

With the addition of this spirit energy, the circulation of the spirit arts in Yang Junshan’s body became even more powerful. And every time the spirit arts in his body circulated for a full cycle, two streams of spirit energy would gush out from the two immortal essences embedded in his body, and attack the spirit essences once. After being shattered, they would disperse into his meridians, fusing with the spirit energy the spirit arts itself, strengthening the spirit energy in his body bit by bit.

The spirit energy essence within the two high grade immortal spirits was melted by the rich earth spirit energy within Yang Junshan’s body, which also meant that Yang Junshan had successfully awakened his immortal spirit, and his cultivation had also successfully stepped into the second level of the Mortal Realm.

However, because the two fairies that Yang Junshan had awakened were high-grade immortal spirits, even though each round of transportation was able to absorb a dense amount of immortal spirit essence into his body, the spirit energy that was circulating within the two fairies still gave off a mountain-like feeling, as if wanting to completely fuse with the two fairies, reaching the peak of the Spirit Summoning Realm, was a long and lengthy process.

Originally, the process of summoning immortal spirits was for cultivators to either hold them in their hands or to speak of them. Thereafter, they would slowly practice their cultivation techniques to slowly refine them, causing the essence within the immortal spirit to gradually merge into the spiritual energy within their bodies.

Even though this process was slower than the one after Yang Junshan unleashed his secret technique, it was still better than the entire process of cultivation which was like a gentle breeze and fine rain, and did not directly impact the spirit energy within the body of the cultivator, nor did it impact the spirit energy within the body. It was even more impossible for Yang Junshan to do this like this, because every time he melted a bit of Celestial Essence, he would have to think of using it to break through.

However, once Yang Junshan could properly handle the dangers brought upon by this secret technique in the process of summoning immortal spirits, in the future, it would be of great benefit to him in opening his immortal cavities and advancing to the third level of Mortal Realm.

If a cultivator did not manage to accumulate enough spiritual energy during the Spiritual Summoning Stage, it would be impossible for him to break through the barrier of the Spiritual Cauldron and completely open the Spiritual Cauldron.

However, they were all trying to break through to the third level of the Mortal Realm, trying to open up their own spiritual cavities. They had no choice but to spend more time to nurture their spirit energy, and accumulate power to charge into the third level of the Mortal Realm.

Yang Junshan used a secret technique to imbue his immortal spirit essence into his body. Every time his immortal spirit essence melted, it would undergo a strong impact, and when the immortal spirit essence completely melted and Yang Junshan’s cultivation reached the consummate stage of summoning immortal spirits, his immortal spirit cavities would have long been weakened from the countless of attacks from the immortal spirit essence. At that time, Yang Junshan could also store enough powerful spirit energy with his two high quality immortal spirit essences, so opening his immortal spirit cavities would definitely be twice the effort.

By the time Yang Junshan woke up from his cultivation, another day had already passed. There were only four days left until the Banyan Mountain’s encampment closed, and Yang Junshan’s luck was not too bad. When he was at his weakest, no one found out about the cave he was currently in.

At this time, Yang Junshan’s body was still weak, but it was no longer like yesterday, where even a slight movement would exhaust all the energy in his body.

Yang Junshan took a look at the two wounds on his body, only leaving an inch long scab on his abdomen, and then, the tiger tooth fairy that was initially exposed outside of his skin seemed to have shrunk a little.

Yang Junshan heaved a sigh of relief. From the looks of it, the secret technique had been unleashed successfully, but it was all thanks to the help of the crouching tiger picture. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for Yang Junshan to recover so quickly.

Yang Junshan muttered to himself for a bit, but in the end, he did not accept the inheritance of the other seven pictures. His body had not fully recovered yet, so at this time, if he were to accept the inheritance of the other seven pictures, he would definitely absorb even more Spirit Demon Qi, in any case, he was already here.

Yang Junshan could clearly feel the faint demonic energy that was being emitted from the stone wall surrounding the little tiger’s body, and as the little tiger’s breath slowly seeped into its body.

This was the demonic beast’s cultivation instinct. As time passed, the demonic energy stored within the cub would completely open up its spiritual wisdom, turning it into a demonic cultivator that knew how to cultivate on its own.

In his previous life, there were rumours that said that all those famous native demons had already activated their spiritual wisdom to cultivate before the great change occurred in the heaven and earth. Although the little tiger was still a newborn, it had already started to absorb the demonic energy for its instinctive cultivation.

After two more days, with the help of the crouching tiger diagram, Yang Junshan’s body recovered extremely quickly. Although his face was still pale from the loss of blood, he had already completely consolidated the second stage of his cultivation, and only a light red line was left on the wound on his abdomen. The tiger fang immortal spirit on his back was also slowly melting, disappearing below his skin.

Yang Junshan immediately felt that his entire body was filled with energy. He was completely certain that once the two wounds on his body were completely healed, the strength of his body would definitely reach a new height.

However, at this time, Yang Junshan was looking angrily at his sworn brother who was in front of him. This little thing was lazily lying on the grass, its posture was exactly the same as the crouching tiger picture on the stone wall.

However, what Yang Junshan was angry at was naturally not this, but the backpack that he had placed at the side earlier had already been turned into a mess. Out of the three bear paws originally placed by his side, only two remained, and even if he did not ask the one that was lost, he could tell that it had already reached the mouth of the innocent tiger cub who was standing in front of him.

“You, you, you little bastard, this bear paw is at least worth one stone of spiritual valley, at least ten Jade Coins, how can you just eat it like that!”

Yang Junshan stepped forward and removed the straw mattress under the little tiger cub, exposing a few bones that were left over. This little fellow actually knew how to hide evidence, the little tiger cub let out two “ao ao ao” sounds, as if it was slightly embarrassed.

It was also because of Yang Junshan’s negligence. In order to make the best use of his time to cultivate and solidify his Immortal Summoning Realm cultivation, he did not manage to control this little tiger for three whole days.

Under the urge of hunger, the little tiger cub who didn’t have the ability to prey on others couldn’t resist the temptation of the bear paw from the backpack no matter what. In the end, it could only leave Yang Junshan two cub because the little tiger cub couldn’t eat them.

However, a single plump paw weighed at least a dozen pounds, almost the same weight as the cub itself. How could it eat so much in two days?

However, the little guy’s stomach was round and in just two or three days, his body had grown to almost a foot long. It seemed that eating a fat bear’s paw was acceptable.

“Alright, now we need to go for a walk and make some preparations to leave the Banyan Mountain!”

After putting the quiver and backpack back on, Yang Junshan held the large carved bow in his hand and said to the little tiger.
