Traveling through time to cultivate immortality: a life and death test

After playing with Pangpang for a long time, Pangpang had just broken through and had experienced a thunder tribulation, so he was still relatively weak. He was a little tired at this moment, so he disappeared from Liu Xing's palm.

Liu Xing was surprised to find that Pangpang hadn't returned to his Dantian, but was instead lying in his Sea of ​​Consciousness. Before he could ask, he realized Pangpang had actually fallen asleep. He was speechless for a moment, but he didn't care where it lay; it didn't matter to him anyway; it wasn't a burden.

Liu Xing cast a spell to fill up the cave, then cast another spell to remove a piece of solid granite from a cliff and cut it into a stone bed. After doing all this, he began to retreat and cultivate his body again.

In spring, flowers bloomed everywhere. In summer, green shade and cool breezes rose. In autumn, leaves danced in the wind. In winter, snowflakes filled the sky. Five years passed in the blink of an eye, and Liu Xing finally woke from his trance.

His physical body was the first to break through, its strength now comparable to that of ordinary magic weapons. At this time, the corpse pill in his dantian had disappeared, completely transformed into the power of his physical body. The evil spirit in his body had also been condensed into his flesh and blood, and there was no more energy left to improve his physical body.

Liu Xing clenched his fist so hard it crackled. He blasted it through the air, instantly ripping it apart and creating a vacuum around his fist. He estimated that with just his physical strength, this punch would be enough to knock even the most common magical weapon of a Jindan cultivator away.

The physical breakthrough occurred silently. Aside from Liu Xing's own sense of strength, there was no external movement. Liu Xing speculated that this was a normal phenomenon under the laws of Heaven. This meant he wasn't exceptional, and that other cultivators had undoubtedly reached the same level of strength. Liu Xing looked up at the sky. Although he was still in the cave, his spiritual sense could already penetrate outer space. His thoughts raced. His understanding of this otherworldly world was only the tip of the iceberg. Countless talented individuals abounded. His modest achievements might put him ahead of his peers in this world, but in another, he might be as weak as an ant.

Thinking of this, the joy I felt after my physical breakthrough gradually subsided, reminding me not to become complacent. I must continue to strive for progress and strive for strength, only then can I go higher and further.

At that moment, sounds came from Jiao Jiao in the neighboring cave. He flashed to Jiao Jiao's side and saw that her aura was fluctuating violently. After nearly a decade of slumber, she had finally refined the demonic core of the land dragon. Combined with the monthly consumption of a dragon scale fruit, Jiao Jiao had consumed over a thousand dragon scale fruits over the past century, nearly consuming all the fruit she had obtained from the Sunset Secret Realm. However, the benefit was that her bloodline power had been greatly enhanced, increasing its power by an unknown amount.

With the greatly increased power of his bloodline and the stimulation of the demon core of a Level 5 Land Dragon, Jiao Jiao finally reached the bottleneck required to break through to Level 5. Demonic energy surged into the sky, a violent, uncontrollable surge. Meanwhile, the sky above the Forbidden Peak was once again filled with strange winds and clouds, forming a massive vortex of spiritual energy that swirled towards Liu Xing's cave. The Qianji Sect's leaders were surprised to discover that another spiritual pet in the Forbidden Department had broken through to Level 5 in just a few years, but they didn't pay much attention to it.

"Hey, another monster has broken through?" Su Xingchen was awakened again. He used his spiritual sense to explore and immediately tracked down Liu Xing's cave.

"Oh, it turns out to be my disciple's spirit pet. Well, the power of dragon bloodline is so strong, I have never seen it in my life. This kid has a good chance." Su Xingchen stroked his white beard and murmured. Even he was a little envious of his disciple.

A level five natal golden silkworm Gu and a level five dragon bloodline dragon were both among the rarest and most precious treasures in the world. These pets' strengths were of little use to a master of his level, so he wasn't tempted. No matter how good a pet was, it couldn't help him break through to the Divine Transformation stage. For them, all their time and energy were focused on that, with everything else just a side job. While these pets had immense potential for growth, their future prospects were limitless if they were properly nurtured. Therefore, for other veterans, snatching them up as gifts for their juniors was a perfect opportunity.

"Money is a great asset to people. Fortunately, my disciple is quite strong, otherwise he would not be able to enjoy these treasures." Su Xingchen murmured to himself, as if he saw that Liu Xing's future was doomed to be full of turmoil, and other people's greed would become his whetstone. Whether he could overcome the danger or not depended on his own luck.

Liu Xing constantly encouraged Jiao Jiao with his thoughts, urging her to keep pushing forward. Breaking through realms was difficult for outsiders to intervene in, and even as the master, he couldn't offer any help. It was all up to him; this was the law of nature.

Perhaps Jiao Jiao's fundamental strength was too great, and the spiritual energy required to break through was too immense, so she was always just a hair's breadth away from breaking through the bottleneck. The Spirit Gathering Array offered some help, but it seemed like she was still a step short. Liu Xing was extremely anxious. He lacked the elixir needed to help the monster break through its bottleneck, and now he was at a loss, frantically watching. The opportunity to break through a bottleneck is rare, and once it appears, it must be seized with all one's might. Otherwise, the next opportunity would be an indefinite one. This is why so many cultivators in the False Dan realm remain unable to break through. It's because the opportunity to break through hasn't appeared. From a metaphysical perspective, it's simply because their destiny hasn't arrived.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he remembered a high-grade spirit stone with exceptionally large spiritual power, which might be of use. Without further ado, he immediately took out the high-grade spirit stone and replaced it with the medium-grade spirit stone in the spirit gathering array.

"There are actually top-grade spirit stones." Su Xingchen had been paying close attention to the breakthrough of his disciple's spirit pet. He also sensed that the breakthrough was encountering difficulties and was considering when to help.

Liu Xing actually produced a top-grade spirit stone, much to his surprise. Top-grade spirit stones were extremely rare, generally circulated only by Nascent Soul masters, rarely found even by Linking Core experts. He was curious about how his disciple had acquired them. However, he no longer worried. With the top-grade spirit stone and this magical spirit gathering formation, a breakthrough should be no problem.

Suddenly, a surge of spiritual energy ten times greater than before was released through the spirit gathering array. Jiao Jiao felt the spiritual energy surrounding her increase tenfold, and was overjoyed, knowing that it was her master's help. Without time to express gratitude, she hurriedly absorbed this immense spiritual energy into her body, circulating it through her inherited cultivation method for a full cycle. After the spiritual energy was transformed into her own demonic power, she charged towards the bottleneck membrane with all her might.

With a loud bang, the bottleneck membrane ruptured. Jiao Jiao instantly felt her sea of ​​consciousness sublimate, its width doubled, and her spiritual power instantly doubled. Her mind seemed to function even better than before, and she felt strangely lucid. The pet mark within her sea of ​​consciousness also weakened significantly, as if she could temporarily seal it if she wished, thus finding a way to break free. However, Jiao Jiao had no such thoughts at all, as if her master was more important than her life. Regardless of her own strength, her master would always be the one she could not disobey.
