Chapter 320: Chapter 257: The First Person Over Thousands of Years Since the Tang Dynasty

Translator: 549690339

After Pei Xuanjing receded his aura, both of them couldn’t help but break into a cold sweat. However, they didn’t care about this and looked at Pei Xuanjing with excitement in their eyes.

Daoist Xuanming asked excitedly: “You mentioned before about Refining Essence, Refining Qi, and Refining Spirit, you have achieved the breakthrough with the way of Refining Spirit, right?”

They had discussed these ideas in the past. Of course, Daoist Xuanming understood the three aspects of essence, qi, and spirit that Pei Xuanjing proposed. The theory of Pei Xuanjing can be said to have the same effect as some of the theories in Baiyun Temple.

“Correct!” Pei Xuanjing nodded, “By a fortunate coincidence, I managed to transform my Divine Soul into a Yin Spirit. The recent thunder was gathered because of this Yin Spirit.”

“The Sect Master’s talent is divine, he can be regarded as the first person in the Tang Dynasty.” Yu Zhenzi complimented.

Pei Xuanjing shook his head modestly, but Daoist Xuanming on the side didn’t think so. He believed that Yu Zhenzi’s words were well-deserved.

No wonder, Pei Xuanjing made a breakthrough before the revival of Heaven and Earth, he could be regarded as the first Martial Artist to step into the Spirit Realm under the constraints of Heaven and Earth since the Tang Dynasty.

It’s worth knowing that, regardless of the founder of the Quanzhen lineage or Master Sanfeng from the True Martial Sect, and many other strong people, even if their martial arts had reached the peak, they were finally trapped by the shackles of Heaven and Earth and were unable to break free and ascend to the Spirit Realm.

If it’s only based on this point, no Martial Artist after the Tang Dynasty could compare to Pei Xuanjing. Thus, calling him “the first person in thousands of years since the Tang Dynasty” is not an exaggeration.

Pei Xuanjing continued to be modest: “It’s nothing more than a fortunate coincidence!”

Although many people were incredibly curious about the strange phenomena and terrifying aura emerging from Baiyun Temple, no one dared to probe easily due to the presence of Pei Xuanjing.

Like Daoist Xuanming’s original perception, most strong individuals also assumed that Pei Xuanjing had simply mastered some terrifying, invincible martial arts skill, greatly enhancing his strength. 𝘧𝘳𝓮𝓮𝓌𝘦𝓫𝓷𝘰𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝓬ℴ𝘮

Not a single person would believe that Pei Xuanjing had already broken through to the Spirit Realm, a realm they didn’t even dare to think about.

Even amongst the powerful forces with long-standing heritage, many of them understood that being a First-grade Martial Artist was not the end of Cultivation, and that there was a higher realm above it. However, they didn’t even know the name of the next realm of Cultivation, let alone the path of Cultivation, so it was even less possible for them to Imow about Pei Xuanjing’s breakthrough.

In the following days, Pei Xuanjing chose to go into seclusion first to slowly familiarize himself with the uses of his Yin Spirit and to experience the mysteries of the Spirit Realm.

Unfortunately, on one hand due to the threat of Thunder Tribulation, and on the other hand due to the constraints of Heaven and Earth, Pei Xuanjing found that he couldn’t freely release his Yin Spirit.

However, it wasn’t that he gained nothing. Through continuous exploration, Pei Xuanjing gradually developed the use of Yin Spirit.

Firstly, his Yin Spirit could leave the body. After entering meditation, Pei Xuanjing could carefully release his Yin Spirit from his body and move freely within a certain range around his physical body.

He also discovered that Yin Spirit was extremely afraid of sunlight and could only leave the body at night. Pei Xuanjing wasn’t clear about the specific names of Cultivation after entering the Spirit Realm, so he temporarily named his current state of the Yin Spirit realm as: First Tribulation Yin Spirit?Night Travel Realm.

In this realm, Yin Spirit is newly formed and fears the sun during the day, can only roam freely at night, and can move within a certain range around the body.

According to Pei Xuanjing’s speculation, his current Yin Spirit was newly

formed, and the essence of life had changed. However, because he was lacking some teachings about the path of Refining Spirit, it could be said that other than using brute force to suppress others, he temporarily didn’t possess other offensive methods.

“Unfortunately, with this realm breakthrough, the amount of Taoyun needed for a life simulation has increased again.” Pei Xuanjing sighed.

Indeed, after this realm breakthrough, the Taoyun required for life simulation increased from 100,000 to 200,000.

But having had the simulator for such a long time, he was somewhat immune. Therefore, when he wanted to take advantage of this realm breakthrough, he had already prepared himself mentally.

Now, Pei Xuanjing was not worried about having insufficient Taoyun. Given the current cooperation between them, it was easy for Pei Xuanjing to borrow their martial arts teachings for viewing as long as it did not involve their secret teachings.

And if successful, he would have the chance to view martial arts skills collected by the imperial family through the Emperor’s help.

Considering the wealth of the Great Ming imperial family, six hundred years of accumulation, and many martial arts skills obtained from previous dynasties, it is unknown how profound their collection is.

Therefore, Pei Xuanjing was not currently worried about accumulating Taoyun.

The fact that Pei Xuanjing had stepped into the Spirit Realm was secretly passed to several partners. Whether they were Daoist Qingxu, Elder Heaven Master, Bai Xiaosheng, or the Chunyang Sect leader who had never met Pei Xuanjing, they were all extremely excited.

Because this type of news, to them who had almost reached the peak of the Mortal Realm, was undoubtedly a timely rain after a long drought.

They were originally like fumbling around in the vast darkness not knowing what lies ahead, advancing forward by carrying heavy burdens just following their insistent beliefs.

But now, Pei Xuanjing’s breakthrough is like a suddenly lit lamp in the vast dark night, illuminating their path ahead and giving them hope.

This let them understand that they hadn’t taken a wrong path, that their perseverance and efforts weren’t in vain…

They were so stirred that they immediately prepared to meet with Pei Xuanjing. They wanted to see the first powerful person who had broken through to the Spirit Realm after thousands of years since the Tang Dynasty, trying to find their breakthrough opportunity from him.

But Bai Xiaosheng talked them out of it, stating that they had already waited for so many years for Pei Xuanjing’s breakthrough, so they won’t miss out much if they wait a little longer. On the contrary, their plan had reached a critical stage now, no mistakes could be afforded.

Therefore, they decided it would be better to set a time and meet at Taihe Mountain, where they could discuss important matters.

Even Bai Xiaosheng who was in Tiandu and in close proximity to Pei Xuanjing suggested this, so of course, others wouldn’t say much and could only agree.

Indeed, after receiving news of Pei Xuanjing’s breakthrough, Bai Xiaosheng considered changing the plan. He decided to push the plan forward without any worries.

After some time in seclusion, Pei Xuanjing had just come out when he received these messages, for which he didn’t have any objections.

He knew clearly in his heart that this was the impact of his strength breakthrough. His breakthrough gave them hope, and also made them more eager to step ahead.

After all, speaking of real age, Pei Xuanjing was their junior.. Now that a junior had surpassed them, how could they willingly remain behind?
