BXBX NOVEL Chapter 104 - 104: Eight Levels of Qi Training (Requesting full subscription 5/5)
Boom!!
With the final strike from the Golden Light Shuttle, it flew backwards, falling onto the square and sliding a short distance, nearly falling off the cliff.
At the same time, the flurry of fist shadows dissipated abruptly. The yellow-robed immortal soldier’s body was violently blasted back more than ten meters before coming to a complete stop. Thick, hot air rose from his body, as if a machine had been over-loaded.
“Fourth attempt failed, remaining attempts: six.”
Han Yi recalled the Golden Light Shuttle with a rare sense of dejection in his heart.
This yellow-robed immortal soldier was like an all-powerful machine.
That’s right, this yellow-robed immortal soldier appeared to be a cultivator, but in fact, he was a creation of Heavenly Creation. Calling him a machine wasn’t wrong.
“His body is made from an unimown material, comparable to the materials used for top-grade magical instruments.”
“He can expel breath from his mouth, transforming it into a phantom image of the Immortal Mountain, capable of blocking the Yin Thunder Talisman.”
“He can withstand the Golden Light Shuttle, even launching counterattacks.”
“Only a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator might be able to defeat him.”
Han Yi sighed, recalling all his magical tools, and looked at the motionless yellow-robed immortal soldier on the distant square.
“Now, I have tried everything and still can’t defeat the yellow-robed immortal soldier.”
“There are six opportunities left. Without confidence, I absolutely cannot try again.”
“It seems that I have to endure.”
Han Yi turned his gaze to the cloud sea outside the square. From here, the closest Immortal Mountain was at least three miles away. On that mountain, there was a similar mansion.
“The voice said that after passing the examination, I would inherit the 10,009th Immortal Mansion. If my guess is correct, there are at least 10,009 Immortal Mountain mansions here.”
“What is this place?”
Putting aside these doubts, Han Yi began to consider his next plan.
Of course, he would not give up; he just had to persevere.
“Advance my realm to the eighth level of Qi cultivation, or level up my Sword Control Skill, or even improve both my skills and realm before I can win.”
“No, that’s not right. I shouldn’t think about it too carefully. My strongest means now is not the Shadow Bearing Sword, the Wind Demon Dagger, or the Sword Control Skill, but the top-grade magical instrument, the Golden Light Shuttle.”
“From the three tests just now, only using the Golden Light Shuttle made the yellow-robed immortal soldier take it seriously.”
“In that case, I should refine the Golden Light Shuttle to the extreme, then break through to the eighth level of Qi cultivation, raise my realm another step, and try to break through his defenses.”
“This is the fastest and most reliable way to win.”
With the strategy set,
Han Yi no longer hesitated, took out a Spirit Stone and began to cultivate.
Thankfully, before this, he had consumed the Blood Bone Spirit Flower to improve his spiritual roots. His spiritual root aptitude had been increased by about three times.
With the improvement of his spiritual roots, his cultivation speed is now on par with Luo Yunzhou, a fellow cultivator with three spiritual roots.
Being trapped here was not what he wanted.
However, after attempting a few times and exhausting all means, he still couldn’t defeat the yellow-robed immortal soldier. So, he could only find a way to break through another level.
“Luckily, this examination does not stipulate a time frame.”
“I wonder what the sect is like now.”
Han Yi put aside the many thoughts in his mind, took a deep breath, and focused on cultivating.
Amidst the cloud sea, an Immortal Mountain appeared.
By the cliff in front of the mansion, a cultivator dressed in an ordinary robe was meditating.
Eternal days and endless nights.
Time flies, leaving its trace.
Han Yi opened his eyes.
In front of him, the faint red virtual panel had been unconsciously transformed.

“Two and a half years, almost three years, I’ve finally reached the eighth level of the Qi Refining stage.”
Han Yi stood up, and the ash of the Spirit Stones scattered with the wind.
A powerful Qi belonging to the eighth level of Qi Refining surged, stirring the Cloud Sea, but it was quickly withdrawn.
“I can’t be impatient at critical moments. I just advanced to the eighth level of Qi Refining, I still need to consolidate my realm.”
“However, this promotion came about a year earlier than I expected.”
Han Yi looked at the Proficiency Panel’s column of techniques.
He had always thought that the proficiency of techniques had little effect on one’s realm.
This was the case from the second to the sixth levels of Qi Refining, and even when he changed to the Fire Gang Profound Art in the seventh level, he didn’t notice any significant improvements.
However, one year ago, he discovered a surprising improvement in his cultivation speed when the Fire Gang Profound Art advanced from “Proficient” to “Minute Detail”.
This was the first time he had clearly perceived the promotion effect of techniques on his realm.
Originally, he estimated that it would take about three years for him to advance from 29/100 to 100/100 in proficiency with the Fire Gang Profound Art after consuming the Blood Bone Spirit Flower.
However, when the Fire Gang Profound Art progressed to “Minute Detail”, his cultivation speed improved significantly, allowing him to advance within less than three years.
“But this breakthrough didn’t attract any Heavenly Demons. Where is this place, a place where even Heavenly Demons can’t enter?”
Han Yi’s inner heart floated with doubts. In his previous breakthrough to the eighth level of Qi Refining, he had taken the standard-quality exorcise evil spirits pill, but this time, he didn’t hear the whispers of Heavenly Demons that he usually did during breakthroughs.
He quickly dismissed these doubts from his mind.
It didn’t matter, as long as he had successfully broken through. It was better if no Heavenly Demons appeared, to avoid any accidents.
Afterward, it took Han Yi three months to consolidate his realm at the eighth level of Qi Refining. Then he started refining the Golden Light Shuttle.
This time, his refinement was not just the most basic and superficial one, but instead, he treated the Golden Light Shuttle as his core magical tool for refinement.
His spiritual consciousness enveloped the tool and transferred his mana into it.
It took him half a year to refine the top-quality magical weapon to the limit of his current abilities.
At this time, the Proficiency Panel showed that he was already 38 years old and had been in this mysterious place for over three years.
More than three years had passed since Han Yi last walked outside the large bronze door, facing the motionless Yellow Scarf Immortal Soldier.
For over three years, this Heavenly Creation had been standing still like a puppet, seemingly lifeless. Only Han Yi knew of its earth-shattering power once it started to move.
Han Yi walked faster and faster, leaping into the air halfway towards the door and lightly tossing the Golden Light Shuttle. It took off into the sky, turning into a golden streak that shot upward before diving down again.
Behind the Golden Light Shuttle, a circle of golden radiance flickered, causing even the spatial vibrations. However, because the Golden Light Shuttle’s speed was too fast, its roaring sound didn’t spread far.
The Yellow Scarf Immortal Soldier, which had been silent for three years, suddenly looked up. Its aura surged as it leaped upward, its arms shining with a bronze glow as it prepared to block the Golden Light Shuttle.
This scene was almost identical to the one three years ago.
However, in the next instant, Han Yi’s eyes flashed with a fierce light in the air, as his spiritual consciousness burst out, and a trace of blood even spilled from the corner of his mouth unconsciously.
At the same time, the Golden Light Shuttle’s speed increased by another level just before colliding with the Yellow Scarf Immortal Soldier.
Boom!!
Creak.
The sound of metal breaking suddenly rang out.
The terrifying golden light did not slow down, and it continued to descend from the heavens..
