Rising from Small Cloud Rain Technique

Ji An continued to operate the Evergreen Wood Skill, and the anomalies of the Cultivation Technique Divine Intent manifested externally, causing green grass and red flowers to bloom around him.

The Jia Yi Wood Spirit Mechanism merged into one, gleaming with vibrant green radiance, full of vigor, surrounded by abundant life energy.

The faint black Gui Water Spirit Mechanism was deep and moisturizing, akin to gazing into a pool of autumn water.

The Ji Earth Spirit Mechanism spread its nourishing aura, the yellow spirit light peaceful and harmonious.

The subtly explosive golden Sun Bing Fire intertwined with the warm, orange-red Ding Fire Spirit Mechanism, resembling entwined lovers.

Colors of brilliance merged into Ji An’s breath, and though the Spiritual Qi could no longer be refined into Magical Power, his five internal organs and Dao Seeds were still nourished by the operation of the cultivation method.

He introspected his body and discovered that the ten Dao Seeds in his acupoints shone like stars, periodically brightening and dimming.

The surface of his liver was entirely covered with leaf vein patterns, giving the whole organ a jade-like texture.

His kidneys were slightly darkened, and the cloud and wave patterns on their surfaces seemed to be in constant motion.

Patterns resembling earth veins appeared on his spleen, with the organ having a slightly yellow hue.

His heart appeared relatively normal in color, bright orange-red, encircled by faint golden patterns.

The crystalline black glow of his kidneys gradually faded, the green radiance on his liver turning from dark to bright, then slowly dimming, yet the crimson glow on his heart thereby flourished; as the crimson glow dimmed, the yellow glow of his spleen became warm and bright; the yellow brilliance faded, and a faint silver-white began to grow in the lungs.

In Ji An’s chest cavity, the radiance waxed and waned, circulating mysteriously through his five organs.

After two quarters of an hour, his Immortal Vein could no longer bear the continuously increasing, unvented magical power, so he slowly concluded his cultivation.

The magical power unable to enter the dantian dissipated through his pores, with an extremely faint cyan glow surrounding his body.

The light seemed to have a spirituality, flying towards a few nearby fruit trees, with the Dragon Blood Tree and several Tier Two Middle-grade Spiritual Peach trees absorbing most of it, swaying gently without wind.

“The Evergreen Wood Skill has evolved into this state, which was quite unexpected.”

Ji An scratched his head, inquiring of other senior brothers and sisters, discovering that when they cultivated, although some organs produced anomalies, only one organ manifested such phenomena.

Liu Yu and Mu Qingwan practiced the Fire Element Technique with anomalies in their hearts, Du Huaiyuan practiced the Water Element Cultivation Method with anomalies in his kidneys, and Ge Luoying practiced the Gold Element Cultivation Method with anomalies in his lungs.

He looked into past cultivators’ insights in the Inheritance Hall records, finding one unnamed predecessor documenting anomalies in two of their organs.

Ji An conveyed the anomalies of his internal organs during cultivation to Jia Yu, inquiring about their origins, though mentioning only the anomalies in his liver and heart.

The response was that it was a good omen, not to worry, as it was a prelude to opening the Divine Mansion, and it would be easier to establish the Wood Mansion and Fire Mansion in the future.

Ji An contemplated why anomalies appeared in all five of his organs simultaneously, guessing it might be caused by the Dao Seeds but was uncertain.

Since Junior Martial Uncle Jia said it was a good sign, he didn’t overthink it and focused on enhancing his cultivation.

At this moment, Ji An truly confirmed that his cultivation had reached the Perfection Realm of the Ninth-Layer Foundation Establishment.

The next step would be to cultivate the Life Light to the point where it naturally emerged, then he could prepare to break through to the Chao Origin Stage.

Enhancing cultivation allowed the use of various external cultivation items like pills and Spiritual Food, but nurturing the Life Light was an internal quest relying only on self-discipline.

Fortunately, he had captured the Life Light since breaking through to the Seventh-Layer Foundation Establishment, having nurtured it for nine and a half years.

Recently, the Life Light had even occasionally flickered, suggesting that its constant emergence was not far off.

Now that his cultivation had reached its peak, he could devote more time daily to nurturing the Life Light.

Ji An focused his essence and spirit, activating the secret technique, with magical power flowing from his dantian, traversing the Immortal Vein in a verdant stream.

To be precise, this secret technique had two purposes: nurturing the Life Light and nourishing the Immortal Vein.

His current aptitude was at the top-grade level, with much potential to explore.

A slight sense of void spirit arose in his Sea of Consciousness, quickly bringing him into the right state.

Two silver ’swimming fish’ appeared within his kidneys, gracefully swaying.

Periodically, the fish would visit each other, with the left fish going to the right and vice versa.

…

On the mountainside of Sunrise Peak, golden sunlight dispelled the darkness of the land.

Above two grotto mansions over ten miles apart, nature’s spiritual energy thickly formed into whirlpools resembling funnels.

Outside the Treasure Pavilion, Lin Jiuxiao stood with hands behind his back, looking solemnly towards the whirlpool, a trace of heaviness between his brows.

At this moment, two cultivators were in seclusion to break through to the Chao Origin Stage, Muu Songde and Li Yuangong, both elites of the Law Enforcement Hall.

As the Hall Master, his concern was understandable.

Jia Yu emerged from the main hall, approached him, and softly said:

“The matter of breaking through varies in time for each person; you don’t need to wait here, Senior Brother. If there are any results, I’ll notify you first thing.”

Some cultivators, well-prepared, found breakthroughs as easy as eating and drinking.

For instance, Li Haoran took only three days to break through, everything progressing seamlessly.

Others lacked sufficient accumulation, spending more time on breakthroughs.

The less prepared, the longer it took, lowering the success rate instead.

Lin Jiuxiao shook his head slightly, saying:

“I feel a bit uneasy, so I came to take a look; this might give me more peace of mind.
