Li Yuanxiao spoke while enjoying the softness in his hands.
Chu Fangyu looked at Li Yuanxiao with a melancholic expression and slapped away his mischievous hand, "Can Jiang Li really do it? Even if he obtained immense benefits from the Yellow Springs Treasure Vault, he couldn't possibly grow to a level capable of confronting a Holy Land in such a short time!"
Li Yuanxiao slowly raised his head, then his gaze shifted towards the location of the Misty Perilous Land.
"The key isn't Jiang Li. You'll know when the time comes!" Li Yuanxiao's gaze seemed to penetrate space, reaching directly to the distant void.
...
The battle outside the Yellow Springs Demonic Sect continued to rage on.
A turbulent undercurrent swept through everywhere.
It seemed that due to the leakage of news about the Yellow Springs Treasure Vault, coupled with the presence of many factions from Myriad Demon Mountain and a considerable number of people sent by the Great Profound Holy Land, the authenticity of the Yellow Springs Treasure Vault being in the Yellow Springs Demonic Sect was amplified limitlessly.
More and more forces surged towards the Yellow Springs Demonic Sect.
Of course, many were there to spectate or to fish in troubled waters.
After all, it was the Yellow Springs Treasure Vault, renowned throughout the Eastern Desolation.
It was highly probable to contain the Supreme Spiritual Treasure of the Yellow Springs Supreme, the Yellow Springs Punishing Saints Diagram.
Even if they couldn't obtain the Yellow Springs Punishing Saints Diagram, acquiring other treasures would be a significant gain.
...
Inside the Yellow Springs Treasure Vault.
After a prolonged period of absorption, the spiritual energy within the Yellow Springs Treasure Vault had become considerably sparse.
The spiritual energy, which had almost condensed into substance, was now somewhat diffuse.
However, a faint fragrance still lingered in the air, circulating all around.
At the very center of the Yellow Springs Treasure Vault, a young man was continuously absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy.
This youth was Jiang Ye Fei. After absorbing spiritual energy for a considerable time, Jiang Ye Fei's cultivation realm had already reached the Seventh Level of the Divine Sea.
Furthermore, his cultivation was progressing at a remarkably rapid pace.
The already sparse spiritual energy around him was continuously absorbed into Jiang Ye Fei's body.
Not far from Jiang Ye Fei, there was another exceptionally handsome young man.
The young man held two ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs. As the spiritual energy from the precious herbs continuously poured in, the young man's aura grew increasingly powerful.
Divine elephants roared thunderously from Jiang Li's body.
Beside him lay numerous high-grade spirit stones and spiritual herbs. Many spirit stones and spiritual herbs had already been drained of their spiritual energy and turned into dust.
Shimmering light flowed over Jiang Li's body. With the augmentation of numerous spiritual resources, the mysterious particles within Jiang Li's body had awakened to 300.
300 mysterious particles represented the power of 300 divine elephants, a colossal strength of thirty million jin, capable of shattering the surrounding void at will.
"Lord Jiang Li is truly terrifying!" Jiang Ye Fei looked at Jiang Li in the distance, his eyes filled with shock.
Just by cultivating there, Jiang Li exuded an invincible sense of pressure upon Jiang Ye Fei.
This pressure, as Jiang Ye Fei's strength grew, only intensified.
Jiang Ye Fei felt that the current Jiang Li could crush him with a mere thought, even though his own strength had increased significantly.
They had been in the Yellow Springs Treasure Vault for nearly half a month.
Jiang Ye Fei's strength had already reached the Seventh Level of the Divine Sea and could break through to the Eighth Level of the Divine Sea at any moment.
Facing Jiang Li, who was engrossed in cultivation, the Eighth Level of the Divine Sea Jiang Ye Fei felt like an ant facing a primordial behemoth.
On the other side, Jiang Li's strength increased even more rapidly.
Ten days prior, Jiang Li had absorbed enough spiritual energy from the ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs to break through to the Life and Death Realm.
In these mere ten days, he had consecutively opened five Life and Death Profound Apertures, advancing to the Fifth Level of the Life and Death Realm.
He was currently attempting to open the sixth Life and Death Profound Aperture, preparing to break through to the Sixth Level of the Life and Death Realm.
After reaching the Life and Death Realm, cultivators primarily broke through their realms by using Life and Death Profound Energy to open the Life and Death Profound Apertures within their bodies.
The more Life and Death Profound Apertures broken, the higher the realm.
"Boom boom boom!!!"
After a while, an extremely powerful aura erupted from Jiang Li's body.
The surrounding spiritual energy was greedily sucked into Jiang Li's body like a whale.
Within Jiang Li's body, countless strands of spiritual energy transformed into profound energy, fully impacting the sixth Life and Death Profound Aperture.
Golden light circulated within Jiang Li's body, and the Yellow Springs Treasure Vault was filled with tremendous roars.
Breakthrough, breakthrough... Jiang Li roared in his heart.
Breaking through to the Fifth Level of the Life and Death Realm had consumed almost all of Jiang Li's resources. All the spirit pills, spiritual herbs, and even the ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs were completely depleted.
If he couldn't break through to the Sixth Level of the Life and Death Realm, wouldn't that be a huge loss?
Despite the profound energy within Jiang Li's body continuously impacting the sixth Life and Death Profound Aperture, the aperture remained impenetrable, seemingly unshakeable.
Unable to break through?
Jiang Li's heart sank. No, he had to break through.
Immediately, Jiang Li took out his Sage Origin.
It was an Origin of a Saint he had tricked, no, obtained from a Great Profound Holy Land elder.
Jiang Li had originally intended to use it to amplify his strength, but now that his strength had broken through to the Fifth Level of the Life and Death Realm, he was only one step away from the Sixth Level.
The Sage Origin of the Second Heaven of the Saint realm offered no significant boost to Jiang Li's strength anymore.
Thus, he decided to use these Sage Origins to enhance his cultivation.
Jiang Li took a deep breath and then swallowed the Sage Origin into his body.
The wild power of the Sage Origin surged madly within Jiang Li's body.
It was continuously transformed by Jiang Li into profound energy to impact the bottleneck.
Time and again, Jiang Li lost track of how much Sage Origin he had consumed.
After many attempts, Jiang Li's sixth Life and Death Profound Aperture finally began to loosen.
"Boom boom boom!!!"
After a while, with a violent surge of aura, the sixth Life and Death Profound Aperture was finally opened.
Sixth Heaven of the Life and Death Realm!!!
The aura belonging to the Sixth Heaven of the Life and Death Realm erupted from Jiang Li's body.
A wild and unmatched aura struck the entire Yellow Springs Treasure Vault. The surrounding space emitted violent cracking sounds, seemingly on the verge of being shattered by Jiang Li's aura at any moment.
Jiang Ye Fei in the distance was filled with horror, feeling as though he would be crushed into fragments by that aura at any moment.
It was truly terrifying...
This oppressive aura caused Jiang Ye Fei's body to tremble incessantly...
"Is Lord Jiang Li truly only at the Sixth Level of the Life and Death Realm? How can his aura alone far surpass those Saints..." Jiang Ye Fei murmured in disbelief, his eyes wide with astonishment.
On the plains of the Misty Perilous Land, Jiang Ye Fei had already experienced the auras of those high and mighty Saints, which were astonishingly powerful.
However, Jiang Ye Fei felt that the auras of those Saints were incomparable to Jiang Li's aura, not on the same level at all.
