Transmigrating over ten thousand years late, I was forced to become a mighty presence

Chapter 28: Do You Call This a Guide For Beginners?_i

In the early morning, the rays of the rising sun poured through the window into the cultivation room.

Shen Yuan’s eyes were slightly closed, the “Purple Clouds Elemental Qi Refinement Method” operating slowly within him, absorbing the last wisp of purple Qi refined from the morning glow.

With the gradual ascent of the sun into the sky, the formed wisp of morning glow purple Qi transformed into a swimming dragon and flew into Shen Yuan’s mouth, merging into the vast essence element within him.

Completing his daily morning lesson, Shen Yuan slowly opened his eyes, a trace of joy appearing on his face.

After ending his journey to the Fu Family a week ago, Shen Yuan had remained in the small courtyard without venturing outside.

During these few days, Shen Yuan had first completed the refining of the previously accumulated Essence Element. Then, with the accelerated cultivation provided by the Seed of Pot’s Heaven Divine Power, he successfully progressed from the Middle Stage to the Late Stage of Essence Refining.

This speed of cultivation, even if Shen Yuan had been mentally prepared, still left him slightly shocked.

One must know that this was the early stage of the Spirit Energy Tidal Surge revival, when spiritual energy was extremely scarce. Coupled with the fact that the Essence Refining Stage was all about accumulation, the time needed in a spirit energy scarce environment was naturally multiplied.

In the previous peak era of cultivation, there were indeed legends of chosen ones consuming heavenly materials and earthly treasures to complete the Transposition from Essence Refining to Qi Transformation in a single day.

However, times had indeed changed and Shen Yuan had not had the opportunity to consume heavenly materials and earthly treasures. He had only been conducting daily cultivation. Advancing from the Middle Stage to the Late Stage in seven days still seemed far too exaggerated.

If the demons Shen Yuan had killed knew of his thoughts, they might have burst into tears on the spot.

With the Seed of Pot’s Heaven Divine Power, Shen Yuan was able to absorb the spiritual energy of a large portion of the old urban district during a single cultivation session, a power comparable to Great Cultivators at the Refining Qi to Spirit Transmutation Stage.

If his cultivation speed was still slow, then the other cultivators might as well give up living.

“Since the cultivation process is moving along so quickly, it is time to start preparing for the transition from Essence Refining to Qi Transformation,” Shen Yuan quietly calculated in his mind.

The Essence Refining Stage, in the Four Steps of Immortality Ascension, was really a foundational realm. As long as one accumulated enough, time could slowly wear away until one got into the late stage of Essence Transformation.

However, wanting to transform Essence into Qi and step into the Qi Transformation Stage was not a simple matter.

Once one achieved the Qi Transformation Stage and began manifesting mana, one could use mana to perform a variety of profound spells. Even in the past peak era of cultivation, one would be considered a cultivator, truly stepping into the gate of practitioners.

Judging from the force alone, spells were naturally inferior to Divine Skills, but in terms of convenience and functionality, spells had their unique advantages.

After all, the threshold for learning spells was low and there was no need for precious Divine Capacity Seeds, which laid a robust foundation for the development of spells.

During the boom period of the cultivation world, basic spells had permeated every aspect of people’s lives. Cultivators could even rely on spells to produce enough crops to feed billions of people, and the convenience of life was not inferior to modern times.

However, the arrival of the era of Spirit Energy depletion destroyed the civilizational foundations established by spells in one fell swoop.

Whatever the case, spells were definitely an essential skill for cultivators.

And, for normal cultivators, only after stepping into the Qi Transformation Stage and mastering spells could they truly possess transcendent fighting prowess. Before that, they relied only on the strength of their physical bodies and Essence Elements.

As he thought about the records of spells in the diaries of Falling Clouds Sect disciples, Shen Yuan couldn’t help feeling excited.

Just as Shen Yuan was preparing to end his morning lesson, a crisp voice suddenly sounded in his ear.

“Ding!”

Shen Yuan was momentarily startled before instantly realizing that it was a system prompt. He quickly opened the system interface.

Since Shen Yuan completed the beginner’s guide by becoming the Falling Clouds Sect Master, the system had seemingly entered a logic bug state and had gone silent for a long time.

Previously, completing hidden achievements also only triggered feedback after Shen Yuan defeated the Sword Slave. Seeing a proactive prompt from the system after so long made Shen Yuan feel a bit of unease.

System: Congratulations Host on completing the 100-day foundation building with hardships and advancing to the late Essence Refining Stage.

Shen Yuan carefully recalled that the time he had spent advancing from early to late Essence Refining Stage hadn’t even amounted to a hundred days. He was silent for a while.

However, on the system interface, subsequent prompts continued to pop up.

System: With the Host advancing to the Late Essence Refining Stage, preparations can begin for the transition from Essence Refining to Qi Transformation. Once the Qi Transformation Stage is achieved, the status of gap % sect master @# will be shed… advancing to an external disciple.

When Shen Yuan looked at the system interface, below his name was conspicuously written the golden word “Sect Master”. He fell silent again.

The advancement from Sect Master to external disciple felt absurd no matter how one looked at it.

Even the system, with its own logical conundrums, seemed to sense the conflict and was thrown into chaos.

On the system interface in front of Shen Yuan, some garbled messages began to appear, even the screen was showing signs of jittering.

Finally, the Artificial Intelligence System seemed to stabilize after a period of chaotic judgment, and another message alert popped up.

System: On the verge of advancing to an external disciple, the final phase of the new player guide task has been triggered.

New Player Guide: Please ask the Host to go to the Sect’s spirit pool and complete the transition from Essence Refining to Qi Transformation with the help of the spirit pool.

Task Reward: Falling Clouds Sect grotto residence token (Disciples above the Qi Transformation Stage can use this token to create their own grotto residences) Looking at the so-called newbie guide in front of him, Shen Yuan felt a twitch in his eyelids.

The so-called Sect Spirit Pool, Shen Yuan had seen some mentions of in the Falling Clouds Sect diaries, which was not an ordinary pool in a typical sense.

The Sect Spirit Pool was a Spiritual Land set up by Falling Clouds Sect elders by gathering nature’s spiritual energy with the Sect Protection Array. Its density of spiritual energy was like water, hence it was called the spirit pool, and was also a place for disciples of Falling Clouds to cultivate in seclusion.

Even the most bottom-level errand runner disciples could apply to breakthrough in the Spirit Pool when they were advancing their cultivation state.

With the aid of the dense spirit energy of the sect’s spirit pool during the transition from Essence Refining to Qi Transformation, the resulting mana would be purer and more sturdy than that of average people at the Qi Transformation Stage.

The spirit pool of the sect, albeit incomparable to the real Heaven and Earth Spiritual Pool, its value was self-evident. Even in the great era of cultivation from ten thousand years ago, only hidden immortal sects like Falling Clouds, which had given birth to Earth Immortals, had such heritage.

If Shen Yuan were really an errand runner disciple of Falling Clouds sect of ten thousand years ago, he only needed to accumulate his Essence Element to the peak and then he would be able to break through in the Sect’s Spirit Pool.

However, this was ten thousand years later. Not to mention the Falling Clouds Sect, which had been extinct for over ten thousand years, even the sects that had survived till now probably did not have the heritage to build a Sect’s Spirit Pool.

Rebuilding the Sect Protection Array requires a massive amount of resources and voluminous spirit energy, which was almost impossible in this era, when the Spirit Energy Tidal Surge had just returned.

But now, to complete this task, rebuilding the Sect Protection Array to create the Sect’s Spirit Pool seems to be the only way.

At this moment, the last descendant of the ten-thousand-year-old Immortal Sect, The Falling Clouds Sect, and the first unparalleled Sword Immortal of the Spirit Energy Tidal Surge era, fell into deep doubt.
