Chapter 498: The Great Cultivators Break Through
Chapter 498: The Great Cultivators Break Through
The Yunlu Mountain Spirit Spring is the only giant Spirit Spring under human control, with a Spirit Energy output thousands of times greater than that of a small Spirit Spring.
Naturally, the United Government places a high level of importance on this Spring.
In the four months since its acquisition, the Blue Star Base on top of Yunlu Mountain has undergone tremendous changes every day.
Now, at the center of the Spring, a massive "Spirit Energy Collection Plant" stands 98 meters tall and covers several square kilometers. It is even taller and larger than many of the Skrull-built collection plants!
However, due to the hasty construction of the plant's main structure, which was completed in just one month from design to delivery, the Great Cultivators had to draw numerous fixed arrays on the walls to ensure the stability of this massive structure.
To the east of the Spirit Energy Collection Plant is a "Spirit Energy Storage Station."
The station houses rows of silver-white, five-meter-wide Spirit Energy storage tanks, which store the Spirit Energy collected from the plant.
Due to the critical importance of the storage station, access is strictly controlled, requiring multiple layers of security checks and identity verification.
Emperor Taizong, along with the Great Cultivators, holding the "Special Permit" issued by Speaker Hu, passed through the layers of security and finally arrived near the largest Spirit Energy storage tank on the west side of the station.
This storage tank is designated as "001."
To the west of "001" is a several-hundred-square-meter open area, the ideal location for the Great Cultivators to break through their current realms.
"Alright, everyone, let's start setting up the arrays!" Upon reaching the open area, Emperor Taizong turned and bowed to all the Great Cultivators present.
"Understood!" the Great Cultivators responded in unison.
In addition to the 21 Great Cultivators who were about to break through, the other 117 fifth-stage Great Cultivators were also present.
On the open ground, they began to work together to set up the "Spirit Energy Conduction Array," preparing for the upcoming breakthrough.
They also set up defensive arrays to prevent the excessive Spirit Energy fluctuations during the breakthrough from damaging the nearby storage tanks.
The cultivators worked swiftly, and within just 15 minutes, the "Spirit Energy Conduction Array" was successfully set up.
From an aerial view, one could see a vivid black mystic bird etched into the ground.
The mystic bird appeared to be stretching its neck and calling out, bringing the entire space to life with Spirit Energy.
Emperor Taizong nodded in satisfaction.
He turned to a black-robed elder standing in the center of the crowd, whose robe was adorned with a black mystic bird, and bowed respectfully. "Elder Yang, can we begin?"
All the Great Cultivators turned their gaze to Elder Yang, their eyes filled with respect.
Elder Yang is the most senior of all the Great Cultivators, and the only living fossil from the end of the Shang Dynasty, during the Age of Gods.
The Age of Gods is over 3,000 years in the past.
Elder Yang is now quite feeble, remembering only his surname and his past assistance to King Wu of Zhou in overthrowing the tyrant Zhou. Most of his other memories have faded.
However, he is no ordinary elder. During his prime, he was a solid Eighth Stage (Great Ascension) cultivator!
Moreover, he was not just any Great Ascension cultivator but a top-tier one on par with Plank of the Sun Empire, ranking among the top three in all of Chinese history!
Thus, the Great Cultivators present hold him in high regard, and any action taken requires his approval.
Elder Yang, unable to speak modern Chinese, slowly responded in archaic and obscure ancient Chinese, "Alright, let's begin."
The Great Cultivators sprang into action, activating the array.
Buzz~
A deep hum filled the air as the array activated, emitting a faint black glow.
Elder Yang sat at the very center of the array, his body enveloped in a swirling black light, radiating an ancient, primordial aura.
Surrounding him were Emperor Taizong and 19 other Great Cultivators on the verge of breaking through to a higher realm. They activated their respective cultivation techniques, their energies harmonizing with the array.
The Fifth-Stage Great Cultivators sat in a circle at the outermost perimeter, also entering a state of cultivation. Due to the variety of cultivation techniques, the clearing was bathed in a kaleidoscope of colors, creating a mesmerizing sight.
Elder Yang was cultivating an ancient technique known as the "Eight-Nine Profound Art." When mastered to its peak, a third eye with a vertical pupil would appear on his forehead.
As the array reached its peak, Elder Yang's third eye opened, emitting a jet of black light that sliced through the "Spirit Energy Can 001" like a laser cutting through tofu, creating a large circular opening.
The compressed spirit energy inside the canister surged out, enveloped by the black light, and was directed into the "Spirit Energy Conduction Array."
The surging spirit energy entered the array, flooding the bodies of each Great Cultivator and enveloping them in a translucent "spirit energy membrane."
"It's time," Elder Yang said softly, releasing the profound art's power that he had suppressed for so long.
With a faint crack, Elder Yang successfully restored himself to the Spirit Division Realm!
At the same moment, Emperor Taizong and the other 19 Great Cultivators also released their suppressed energies, breaking through their respective realms.
A vast amount of spirit energy burst from their bodies, dramatically increasing the concentration of spirit energy in the area to a terrifying level! The spirit energy was infused with the insights of the Great Cultivators into the path of cultivation, creating a powerful "resonance effect."
Under the operation of the "Spirit Energy Conduction Array," this resonance was evenly distributed to every Great Cultivator present.
Each one greedily absorbed the spirit energy and insights, their strength growing exponentially!
The resonance and spirit energy were confined within the area by the array, preventing any leakage. This ensured that everyone could absorb the energy without waste and without harming the ordinary people outside the base.
The entire breakthrough process lasted for two hours.
During these two hours, every Great Cultivator made astonishing progress.
When the process ended, out of the 117 Great Cultivators sitting in the outer circle, 24 had already restored themselves to the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm, and with a bit of consolidation, they could step into the Spirit Division Realm.
The 21 Great Cultivators who were already at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm had all restored themselves to the Spirit Division Realm. Among them, Emperor Taizong, Emperor Hanwu, and an elderly man from the Three Kingdoms period had even advanced from the early to the middle stage of the Spirit Division Realm!
Elder Yang was even more impressive.
As the overseer of the entire array, he was the greatest beneficiary. Combined with his already being the cultivator with the highest potential in the group, he had transcended the early, middle, and late stages of the Spirit Division Realm, directly reaching the peak!
Just one step away, and he would cross the threshold of the Spirit Division Realm and enter the Seventh-Stage Union Stage!
Feeling the significant progress within their bodies, every Great Cultivator couldn't suppress their joy and burst into laughter.
"Ha ha, Elder Yang, congratulations on reaching the peak of the Spirit Division Realm!"
"Congratulations to all of you, your progress is impressive as well."
"Indeed, the resonance effect was beyond our expectations!"
"But we shouldn't be too complacent; we still need to work hard!"
"You're right."
Just as the Great Cultivators were reveling in their success, a middle-aged man's voice came from outside the array: "Elders, it's time to depart. The front lines need you!"
