Chapter 1052: Breakthrough, Heavenly Extreme Peak
After bidding farewell to the Vice Dean, Xiao Yi headed straight to the seclusion room.
Within the academy, there were numerous seclusion rooms available for the academic disciples to use for their retreats.
Xiao Yi randomly picked one and entered, slightly taken aback.
"Such a strong prohibition." Xiao Yi sensed the prohibitions set up in the seclusion room, exclaiming in surprise.
He even speculated that even if he unleashed a full-force attack, it would not budge the seclusion room one bit.
A martial artist in seclusion should not be easily disturbed.
Otherwise, at best, lengthy seclusion would go to waste, undoing all previous efforts.
At worst, his mind would backfire, causing serious injury instantly.
Training in such a safe and stable seclusion room was optimal.
However, Xiao Yi, always cautious, habitually set up a few of his own formations and prohibitions around the area.
Only then did he sit cross-legged and begin cultivating.
Currently, all his martial arts doubts had been mostly resolved.
He had discovered the reason why he couldn't grasp the fifth full martial arts path.
He also had an approximate idea of how to proceed on his future martial arts dao.
Regarding the issue of the powerful flame, what he truly needed to master was the complete martial arts of the Star Fire.
Instead of the martial way of the Star Illusion Fire.
But it was inconsequential, both being powerful flames, the confusion was similarly resolved.
Additionally, he came to understand why the time to consult Senior Luoo was only 5 minutes.
Seemingly only 5 minutes, seemingly not much time.
In fact, every piece of guidance given by Senior Luoo was always spot on.
No matter what martial arts doubts or martial arts knowledge, Senior Luoo could instantly provide the correct answers and guidance.
And make one instantly understand.
Though the time was short, these 5 minutes were definitely much better than consulting other academic seniors, even if those consultations could be longer.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yi began cultivating.
...
Half a month later.
Xiao Yi emerged from the seclusion room.
The timing was just at dawn, with a cool breeze blowing and the morning sunlight shining down, refreshing one's mind.
Just after leaving the seclusion room, he soon encountered the Vice Dean.
"Vice Dean." Xiao Yi nodded slightly.
The Vice Dean nodded back, instinctively saying, "Kid, you've come out of seclusion so soon, did you gain anything?"
"Not bad." Xiao Yi smiled.
The Vice Dean, in a bad mood, said, "If there's nothing else, go wander on your own. I have heaps of academy matters to handle."
"Alright." Xiao Yi nodded.
He was just about to leave when the Vice Dean suddenly exclaimed.
"Huh?" The Vice Dean stared closely at Xiao Yi, "Kid, am I sensing wrongly?"
"Your cultivation… Heavenly Extreme Peak?"
The Vice Dean exclaimed, quickly sensing again seriously.
The next second, his face was shocked, "Tsk tsk, it truly is Heavenly Extreme Peak."
"In just a mere half a month, you've leaped five layers?"
"How did you do it, kid?"
Indeed, Xiao Yi's current cultivation was at the Heavenly Extreme Peak.
In half a month, from the previous Heavenly Extreme Fourth Layer, he had jumped five layers of cultivation.
In fact, it had been a while since he last broke through to the Heavenly Extreme Fourth Layer.
For other heavenly talents, this period might seem short.
But considering his cultivation speed, this was slow, even indicating a not insignificant stagnation period.
Since receiving Senior Luoo's guidance half a month ago, resolving his martial arts doubts, his cultivation encountered no more obstacles.
In half a month, he mastered the fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth complete martial arts paths, a total of 5 full martial arts.
Of course, they were not top-tier martial arts, but merely first-class ones.
And these five first-class martial arts were all related to the Ice Sword Dao.
As Senior Luoo had previously pointed out, even if they were top-tier martial arts, if they couldn't be fused and fully used, what use were they?
That would only be a mere stacking of martial arts.
Just like his Sword Dao martial arts and powerful flame martial arts.
If Sword Dao couldn't be fused with Flame Martial Way, and they were used separately anytime, it would not be significantly meaningful in battle even if both were top-tier martial arts.
It would be useless to his own Sword Dao path.
Now his newly mastered 5 full martial arts were all first-class Sword Dao levels.
Having integrated into the Ice Sword Dao, it had evidently enhanced his understanding and level of the Sword Dao.
Of course, his Sword Dao journey was still long.
In his future cultivation, he would continuously improve.
One day, he would walk a path of the strongest Sword Dao unique to himself.
Moreover, during the half-month period in the seclusion room, after resolving his martial arts doubts, the subsequent cultivation naturally involved fulfilling the Qi Spring elemental power and advancing his cultivation.
Not much different from previous cultivation practices.
From Heavenly Extreme Fourth Layer to Heavenly Extreme Peak, the Qi Spring's elemental power had been filled.
This required a large amount of cultivation items.
Conveniently, during previous academy assessment tasks, with a total of 110 tasks, he killed martial artists, major forces, and so on, numbering at least a hundred.
Thus, he naturally gained a large amount of cultivation items from these forces and martial artists.
Added to the entire wealth previously owned by the Sky Tiger Demon Hunting Team.
In total, in half a month, the Elixirs he crafted almost reached a terrifying level, creating one small mountain of Elixirs after another.
With sufficient cultivation items at hand, it naturally enabled him to effortlessly break through to the Heavenly Extreme Peak.
As for future cultivation, it would be similar to before, unless there were unexpected events, he would focus on filling the entire small world, condensing Ice Mountain and Fire Sea, and so forth.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yi couldn't help but chuckle wryly.
Each time, Ice Mountain and Fire Sea would greatly delay his breakthrough time.
Yet he had gotten used to it.
Moreover, such a leap in cultivation, perhaps, was too rapid.
Therefore, the presence of Ice Mountain and Fire Sea could indeed provide him with ample time for consolidation.
Once Ice Mountain and Fire Sea were filled, and enough consolidation was done, it would be perfect to officially break through to the Infinite Realm in the best state.
Furthermore, the existence of Ice Mountain and Fire Sea inherently granted him extremely strong combat power.
From these perspectives, if Ice Mountain and Fire Sea were to reappear later, it wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing.
"Kid, what are you smiling about?" At this point, the Vice Dean frowned and said.
"Your speed of leaping five layers of cultivation requires a large amount of cultivation items, but that's secondary."
"The important thing is the martial arts barrier."
"Don't tell me you have no martial arts barrier."
"I do." Xiao Yi nodded, "But at this level, the martial arts barrier poses no difficulty to me."
"Poses no difficulty?" The Vice Dean's face twitched.
"I hope that in the future when your martial arts level is higher, you can still speak this sentence with such confidence and assurance."
"I should be able to." Xiao Yi smiled.
The Vice Dean pouted, "Alright, now that your cultivation has soared so much, quickly take on some tasks for training."
"With such a surge in cultivation, undergoing training to consolidate is the best choice, and it also provides a chance to familiarize yourself with your current level of strength."
"Alright." Xiao Yi nodded; he already had the intention of going out for training.
...
The fourth update.
