He had already used up three hundred Connecting Heaven Elixirs the first time. How much would he need for the second time? Fortunately, Long Chen had a hundred thousand Connecting Heaven Elixirs. Otherwise, it would have been a great tragedy. Normally, if one didn't have enough Connecting Heaven Elixirs, no one would dare to make a breakthrough to the next level. Otherwise, one's tendons and meridians would be broken, and one's body would explode.
A hundred thousand Connecting Heaven Elixirs. Even Qin Huanyu didn't have that much wealth. Therefore, these Connecting Heaven Elixirs would be enough for Long Chen to practice for a few levels. Due to the Dragon Soul Qi, he would need a lot more Connecting Heaven Elixirs than others.
A large amount of Connecting Heaven Elixirs transformed into white energy and entered Long Chen's body. Outside, everyone was simply dumbstruck. They knew that Long Chen was only at the first level of the Heavenly Ascension Realm. For an ordinary person, to break through from the first level of the Heavenly Ascension Realm to the second level of the Heavenly Ascension Realm, they would need around one hundred to two hundred Connecting Heaven Elixirs. Why was it that Long Chen, who had already consumed close to five hundred Connecting Heaven Elixirs, still had no intention of stopping?
"Is … is he a monster?" The same thought appeared in the minds of several people.
Qin Huanyu, who had originally wanted to kill Long Chen, was also dumbfounded when he saw this. His intention to kill Long Chen disappeared. If he needed so many Connecting Heaven Elixirs to break through to the second level of the Reaching Heaven realm, how many Connecting Heaven Elixirs would Long Chen need to break through to the ninth level of the Reaching Heaven realm?
In the Divine Wushu Sage Empire, there was a two-million theorem. In other words, one would need at least two million Connecting Heaven Elixirs to break through to the ninth level of the Reaching Heaven realm. The majority of martial artists would waste their wealth on leveling up. Therefore, an ordinary martial artist at the ninth level of the Reaching Heaven realm would only have more than a million Connecting Heaven Elixirs.
According to Long Chen's words, wouldn't it mean that one would need more than ten million Connecting Heaven Elixirs to break through to the ninth level of the Reaching Heaven realm?
How terrifying.
Of course, Long Chen was only breaking through to the second level of the Reaching Heaven State.
Pile after pile of Heavenly Link Pills appeared in his hand, which he then consumed. After consuming nearly a thousand Heavenly Link Pills, Long Chen realized that his true energy had reached a saturation point. Now, he could begin to break through the second aperture, the mid spirit aperture.
With the experience of breaking through the Dan Spirit Aperture the first time, the second attempt was much easier. Long Chen followed the rules and controlled his True Qi. With the gentle energy of the Heaven Connecting Elixir as the vanguard, it flowed from all directions towards the middle spiritual aperture. All the energy in his body converged towards the center of his body.
Gradually, all the True Qi converged outside the middle spiritual aperture at the same time. At this moment, the middle spiritual aperture was just an aperture that didn't exist. Long Chen had to develop it himself. He took a deep breath and slowly controlled the wisps of True Qi to converge at the position of the middle spiritual aperture. The True Qi contained a large amount of energy from the Connecting Heaven Elixir, which had healing properties. It was the most suitable way to nurture the aperture.
Everything went smoothly under Long Chen's careful control. The middle spiritual aperture gradually appeared and grew bigger. When it was big enough, all the energy suddenly flowed into the middle spiritual aperture and formed a white whirlpool that rotated at high speed.
The following steps were almost the same as when Long Chen broke through the first level. The white whirlpool rotated in the middle spiritual aperture. After all the energy flowed into the whirlpool, it came out from another Star Vein and flowed through the Dan Spirit Aperture. The middle spiritual aperture and the Dan Spirit Aperture became the two major cores of the Eighteen Heavenly Rivers. The True Qi of the Eighteen Heavenly Rivers converged in these two apertures before returning to the Eighteen Heavenly Rivers.
In the middle spiritual aperture, a white elixir gradually emerged from the whirlpool and floated above the whirlpool. The situation was exactly the same as in the Dan Spirit Aperture. These two elixirs contained most of the energy in Long Chen's body.
After everything was done, the energy of the Connecting Heaven Elixir gradually dissipated. Long Chen's True Qi gradually turned into a faint blood-red color. Even the whirlpool and elixir returned to their original appearance.
A new cycle had been formed in Long Chen's body. He had successfully reached the second level of the Reaching Heaven State. Feeling the increased energy in his body, Long Chen revealed an intelligent smile. This feeling of becoming stronger was really good. Moreover, from now on, his strength would increase explosively until he ran out of Connecting Heaven Elixirs.
Based on this, it wasn't impossible for him to reach the seventh level of the Reaching Heaven State in a month.
With a whoosh, Long Chen opened his eyes and stood up. He just happened to see everyone's doubtful and fearful gazes. He had been paying close attention to what was going on outside while he was cultivating. Huangfu Qi had worked hard to block Qin Huanyu for Long Chen.
As for the others, they weren't a match for Long Chen in the first place. Now that Long Chen had become even stronger, they didn't dare to say anything.
At this moment, Qin Huanyu came back to his senses. He stared coldly at Long Chen and said, "Kid, you can explain what happened just now, right?"
Just now, Long Chen had asked Kitten to erase the imprint in the crystal and absorb its pure energy, allowing him to possess the True Qi of the second level of the Reaching Heaven State.
"I don't know the specifics. I'm sorry. All I know is that a large amount of power suddenly surged into my body. The power of the crystal is not something that I can control," Long Chen said, pretending to be completely unaware of what was happening.
Qin Huanyu was so angry that he froze. He couldn't figure out what had happened either. Regardless of whether it was Long Chen's doing or not, he realized that he didn't like this youngster. Therefore, he said, "You seized someone else's energy, and you still want to act like a fool in front of me?"
"Senior Brother Qin, I don't know what you mean. I don't know," Long Chen said with an innocent look.
"Jiang Cheng, do you really think I don't dare to beat you?" Qin Huanyu said with a gloomy face.
Huangfu Qi pouted and glared at Qin Huanyu. "Sixth Senior Brother, are you done yet? My big brother already said he doesn't know. Why are you still pestering him? I think you should stop wasting time. Hurry up and take out the crystal. Let's do it again. I think there's still a lot of power in the crystal." Huangfu Qi pouted and glared at Qin Huanyu.
"All right …" Qin Huanyu shook his head helplessly. He looked at Long Chen and snorted, saying, "I'll let you go for now. I'll go back and report this to my Master. Let's see how my Master will deal with you. And you can leave now. Don't disturb us."
Qin Huanyu knew that he couldn't do anything to Long Chen with Huangfu Qi here. Therefore, he could only choose to let King Qingli deal with this matter.
For Long Chen, this was just right.
"Qi Qi, I'll go back first. Come and play with me when you have time." Long Chen couldn't wait to leave, so Huangfu Qi's words were exactly what he wanted.
"I want to go with you," Huangfu Qi said quickly.
"No, Junior Sister, you haven't been shrouded by the demonic light yet. You're not considered a member of the Ancient Demons Area. You can't go," Qin Huanyu said quickly.
"All right …" Huangfu Qi looked dejected.
Looking at this lass, Long Chen was truly speechless. If he were to tell her that he was heading to the Sevenfold Demon World right now, this lass would definitely follow him even if it meant risking her life. Thankfully, Long Chen was smart.
After leaving the place, Long Chen sneaked out of King Qingli Palace and went in the direction of the Realm Demons Mountain. Long Chen only knew the location of the Realm Demons Mountain because the characteristics of the Realm Demons Mountain were very obvious. The other mountains in the Ancient Demons Area were all gray, but the Realm Demons Mountain was completely black.
It looked similar to the Emperor Demon Mountain. Perhaps when the Ancestor of the Sky Demon Palace, Guang Yuan, chose the Emperor Demon Mountain to build the Sky Demon Palace, he found that the Emperor Demon Mountain was similar to the Realm Demons Mountain.
After leaving the King Qingli Palace, Long Chen could already see the Realm Demons Mountain from afar. To be honest, after leaving the King Qingli Palace, Long Chen felt that the King Qingli Palace was indeed the most beautiful palace. Although it was only average, it was much better than the other mountains in the Ancient Demons Area.
"The Earth Veins here are rich in Spiritual Qi, but the Spiritual Qi of life is extremely scarce. There must be something that absorbs the Spiritual Qi of life," Kitten said.
Kitten had mentioned this matter many times, but he also didn't know what it was.
This matter was still very far away from Long Chen, so he only paid a little attention to it and didn't delve into it. He focused on rushing in the direction of the Realm Demons Mountain. In the Ancient Demons Area, he didn't know a single person. He only cared about walking, so there weren't many people who greeted him along the way.
There were quite a lot of people in the Ancient Demons Area.
Very quickly, Long Chen arrived at the foot of the Realm Demon Mountain. There were also quite a few people making their way towards the Realm Demon Mountain. Long Chen noticed that there was a huge cavern at the foot of the Realm Demon Mountain. At this moment, there were quite a few people coming out of the cavern. Most of the people who came out were dressed in disheveled clothes. Some of them even had some minor injuries. One look was enough to tell that they had just experienced a lot of battles.
"When you come out of the Sevenfold Demon Realm, you will appear at the foot of the Realm Demons Mountain. The peak of the Realm Demons Mountain is the entrance, and the foot of the mountain is the exit. It's really magical …" Long Chen said with a sigh.
Then, he took out a black plate from his bosom. The words "Jiang Cheng" were written on the plate. This was the iron plate of the Ancient Demons Area's disciple, which proved his identity as a disciple of the Ancient Demons Area. With this iron plate, Long Chen could enter the Sevenfold Demon Realm.
This iron plate had been distributed the night before.
With the iron plate in hand, Long Chen started to climb the Realm Demons Mountain. The strong warriors of the Ancient Demons Area all relied on Spiritual Qi to rush up quickly. Long Chen had already reached the second layer of the Reaching Heaven State, but he was still at the bottom of the Ancient Demons Area. Therefore, he had to slow down to avoid attracting attention.
In the Ancient Demons Area, there were still many people who knew him. Of course, they only knew the appearance of Long Chen's dragon soul.
