In the courtyard.

The eastern horizon is tinged with fish belly white.

Fine snowflakes are falling softly.

Jiang Ning is unaware of the changes in the outside world.

At this moment, he is solely immersed in his own joy.

Continuous breakthroughs make the True Spirit stronger, the source more robust, and the growth of the Divine also stimulates the Essence, Qi, and Spirit flowers, allowing him to move faster toward the First Grade Mixed Element Realm.

Moreover, his trait has gained a second golden hue.

After a long while.

He made a slight adjustment, suppressed the fluctuations in his heart, and then closed his eyes again for cultivation.

Because he wants to test whether the transformation of this current trait will aid his practice of the Spirit Platform Cave Illumination True Self Method.

If it does, and the effect is strong enough, he can consider the future direction of his cultivation.

As this cultivation technique becomes more refined, he realizes it is more extraordinary.

It involves not just simple talent or the growth of the Divine.

But it relates to past lives and present existence, and the origin of sentient beings.

The strengthening of the True Spirit, intuition tells him, is more crucial than a mere improvement in talent or understanding.

Then, Jiang Ning gathers his Heart Spirit, stops thinking about external matters, and focuses all his attention within the Spirit Platform.

As his thoughts circulate, the scene within the Spirit Platform changes again.

Gone are the grand and complex scenes of creation and seasonal cycles; instead, it becomes extraordinarily pure and condensed.

A bright moon hangs high above the Spirit Platform, shedding a cool and clear silver glow that lights the entire platform in clarity.

Beneath the bright moon is his Divine Soul, firm and cast in red gold, with a brilliance shining between the brows.

In the current state, the process of visualization becomes exceptionally efficient and direct.

He doesn’t need to deliberately transform the birth and death of all things, just observe himself.

Observe the moon that represents the "True Self," observe the single Divine Soul beneath the moon.

Just doing this can enhance his cultivation.

Whoosh——

The sound of the flowing waves of the river of time is clearer than ever, as if it’s rushing by his ears.

Countless True Spirit fragments, emitting pure white light, appear from the void attracted by the moon, penetrate the boundaries of the Spirit Platform, and enthusiastically surge towards his Divine Soul, merging into the brilliance between his brows.

Every fusion brings a refreshing and fulfilling sensation from the origin of life; the texture of the Divine Soul becomes more real at a detectable speed.

Meanwhile, the silver Divine Flower above shakes silently, its scattered silver glow intertwines with the moonlight of the Spirit Platform, making the process of visualization and fusion seem accelerated by some mysterious force.

[Spirit Platform Cave Illumination True Self Method Experience Value +258]

[Spirit Platform Cave Illumination True Self Method Experience Value +261]

[Spirit Platform Cave Illumination True Self Method Experience Value +263]

[...]

The prompt in front of him jumps at an increasingly efficient frequency, each increase in experience value causing Jiang Ning’s Heart Spirit to tremble despite his earlier expectations!

This efficiency, how could it merely double?

It’s far greater than the best effects of consuming Dragon Hibernation Spiritual Liquid before!

And the frequency has also increased!

And this is achieved purely through self-cultivation, without any external assistance!

Under this dual enhancement, the efficiency is indescribable.

"The Light Gold trait, truly terrifying!"

Even with Jiang Ning’s current state of mind, he couldn’t help but feel a ripple.

This is not only an efficiency improvement but an essential enhancement to the attraction and fusion of True Spirit fragments!

As if the ’True Self’ imprint becomes more distinct and compelling in the river of time, more efficiently gathering scattered True Spirit fragments!"

He forcefully suppresses the excitement in his heart, maintains Qingming of the Spirit Platform, and continues to be immersed in this intoxicatingly efficient cultivation.

Experience value surged like floodwaters breaking a dam.

At this rate, the experience originally needing several days or even longer to accumulate might mostly be achieved in one day!

Time flies quickly in deep cultivation.

Another layer of fresh snow covers the accumulation in the courtyard, and the sun gradually rises, dispelling some coldness.

It is unknown how long it took, until a slight hunger pang from his stomach pulled Jiang Ning out of the state of resonating with the river of time and frantically absorbing True Spirit fragments.

He opens his eyes, a flash of silver passes, then returns to a deep calm.

At once, he looks at the panel.

[Skill]: Spirit Platform Cave Illumination True Self Method (Second Limit Breaking 3876/30000)

In less than half a day of cultivation, the experience value has increased by nearly four thousand points!

This number nearly stops Jiang Ning’s breath.

"At this rate, working diligently day and night, perhaps in just a few days, without external assistance, this cultivation technique may see another breakthrough!"

Thinking of this, his emotions momentarily fluctuate.

As the cultivation technique advances, the cultivation efficiency not only doesn’t slow down, but becomes increasingly efficient.

Even extraordinarily efficient, with the elevation of the Divine stimulating the three flowers, enabling him to more efficiently enter the First Grade Mixed Yuan Realm.

"Since that’s the case, then let’s commit wholly to the Spirit Platform Cave Illumination True Self Method, pushing this cultivation method to another breakthrough, and see what changes it brings, what traits might be derived!"

With just a simple thought in his heart, he made a decision.

Then, with a thought, his voice reached Qinghe’s ears, instructing Qinghe to prepare some food for him, then continued to adjust his state, entering cultivation.

He didn’t care at all about the slight fatigue from high-intensity cultivation.

This simple fatigue, he felt he could endure, and this fatigue paled in comparison to the exhilaration from rapidly increasing strength.
