"This... what kind of physique does this kid have? How could he evolve into an Immortal so smoothly?" On the main hall of the Half-Mountain Residence, the man with steel mustache looked at the illusionary screen before him with a face full of disbelief.

The illusionary screen, summoned by Liu Bai, was showing the scene of Ye Haochuan’s breakthrough.

"It’s not just about his physique. Even if his physique is excellent, it wouldn’t be this easy! Did you notice that he didn’t trigger any signs of a Heavenly Tribulation?" Liu Bai sighed.

Shentu Fu pondered for a moment and said, "I suppose he must have gained some insight on the Heavenly Road! The process of the Ascension Ladder might have been equivalent to experiencing a Heavenly Tribulation, thus naturally bypassing the need to undergo it again."

Liu Bai suddenly realized, sighing, "Now that you mention it, I almost forgot he’s breaking through from the Lower Realm. It’s hard to imagine a cultivator at the Nascent Soul Stage could breach the Heavenly Road. Our Hua Clan producing such a person must be a blessing from heaven!"

With these words, the faces of the other two softened slightly, and their gaze towards Ye Haochuan also softened a bit.

In the cave, Ye Haochuan was still unaware that he was being "watched."

In just a few minutes, he had already completed several rounds of spirit qi liquefaction. Within the Dantian, more than a dozen drops of liquid spiritual energy had appeared.

As this process continued, his body seemed to have automatically learned this method. Even without his active manipulation, his body could confidently convert the spiritual energy slowly into liquid form.

This state meant he had already stepped over the threshold of the Immortal Transformation Realm, becoming an Immortal Transformation Cultivator.

To be able to cross this step so rapidly and easily, even Ye Haochuan felt as though he were dreaming.

He forcibly suppressed the restlessness in his heart, held his breath, and quickly liquefied all the gaseous spirit qi in his Dantian. This process only took him ten minutes.

This was, of course, related to the abundance of spiritual energy here, but most importantly, he had experienced the process on the Heavenly Road, doing things step by step made it twice as effective with half the effort.

Having smoothly entered the Immortal Transformation stage, Ye Haochuan was ready to push forward, drawing in the surrounding flower energy into his body to gradually blend with the liquid spiritual energy.

The entire Immortal Transformation Boundary is about the process of replacing spirit qi with flower energy. The more flower energy replaced, the higher the cultivation of the person becomes.

And liquifying spiritual energy is for better control of flower energy. Flower energy is not as easy to control as spirit qi, and a slight misstep could lead to self-destruction.

However, liquid spiritual energy serves as a tool to help cultivators control flower energy. Controlling flower energy indirectly with spirit qi is much easier than direct control.

Moreover, this liquid spiritual energy also acts as a buffer, preventing the domineering power of flower energy from causing irreversible damage to the body of the cultivator.

As cultivation matures, the ability of cultivators to control flower energy is effectively improved. Liquid spiritual energy can then gracefully retreat, leaving all the space for flower energy. By that time, the cultivator will break through the Immortal Transformation layer and enter the next stage.

Of course, this still depends on the cultivator’s own physique. If the cultivator can accept only forty percent of flower energy, then the final achievement can only stay at the Immortal Transformation Mid-Stage. Forcing further cultivation would lead to the tragic outcome of exploding and dying.

Ye Haochuan did not know whether his body’s acceptance of flower energy would reach one hundred percent. However, he believed that the Hidden Divine Physique would not disappoint him, as it never had before.

The process of absorbing flower energy was not as easy as spirit qi liquefaction. After absorbing ten percent, efficiency significantly dropped, eventually halting.

To further improve, one would have to spend some time letting the body adapt, and then gradually enhance.

Clearly, Ye Haochuan didn’t have the time to cultivate slowly. After stabilizing his boundary, he quickly left the spirit vein’s location.

Outside the cave, the gryphons were still waiting, so Ye Haochuan had to find a relatively hidden location to tunnel out, according to his earlier plan.

This time, Ye Haochuan had learned his lesson. As soon as he went out, he concealed his own aura. The demon beasts may be able to track by scent, but they still need to find his trail first. During the time it takes for them to find his trail, he can cover a significant distance.

It’s not that he’s cowardly. Although he had a breakthrough, dealing with so many demon beasts at once was still troubling, so he naturally favored avoiding unnecessary trouble.

The Great Yan Step, although a Treasure-Level Late Stage Technique, was increasingly feeling out of his depth. But it’s better than nothing, and until Ye Haochuan finds a better technique to replace it, it remains his most relied upon escape skill.

Of course, there’s also the Communicating with God Treasure Order. The duplicating divine skill’s effectiveness greatly reduced after reaching Immortal Transformation, only enhancing skills by seventy to eighty percent now. It’s believed that this benefit would further diminish as time goes on.

"Now that I’m in Immortal Transformation, perhaps I should find the time to see if I can awaken the entity within the Communicating with God Treasure Order!" A thought suddenly flashed across Ye Haochuan’s mind.

Back then, the figure inside the Communicating with God Treasure Order said Ye Haochuan could awaken him once he reached Nascent Soul Peak. However, he tried several times without success and had to pin his hopes on breaking through Immortal Transformation to awaken him.

However, now is clearly not the time. On one hand, he must rush to seize the Seven-Colored Mysterious Stone without further delay.

On the other hand, this Dimensional World belongs to Liu Bai, and based on the earlier events, he’s convinced that nothing occurring in this Dimensional World escapes Liu Bai’s notice.

Ye Haochuan did not know who the figure within the Communicating with God Treasure Order was or if he had any feuds with the Half-Mountain Residence. If there was a grudge, releasing him here would undoubtedly harm the figure within the Treasure Order.

Based on these reasons, Ye Haochuan decided to postpone this matter and continued to speed away.

The demon beasts were evidently unaware that Ye Haochuan had already escaped and were still waiting bitterly on the cliffs. This was undoubtedly good news for Ye Haochuan.

About half an hour later, Ye Haochuan successfully climbed to the top of a mountain.

But to his exasperation, there was nothing on this mountain. Not only did this mountain have nothing, but all the surrounding peaks he had previously seen did not either.

Because he saw that dozens of miles away, there was an even taller peak.

This peak pierced the clouds, clearly incomparable to the ones beneath his feet.

"Damn it, it’s exactly like failing to see Mount Tai because of a leaf!" Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but curse. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Earlier in the valley, he was surrounded by peaks and couldn’t see the high mountains dozens of miles away. Now he realized he had taken quite some detours unwittingly.

With no other choice, Ye Haochuan had to adjust his route again, heading towards that tall peak.

He only hoped the other two were also suffering the same fate, trapped by demon beasts. Otherwise, he was surely destined to lose.

Whether it was fate knowing his plea, as he was walking not far ahead, he suddenly heard a cry for help.

"Fellow Daoist Ye, please save me..."
