I Can Accumulate Proficiency, Starting from Alchemy

Chapter 965: Chapter 404: Ancient God’s Relic, Boundary Stele Crystal_1 Chapter 965: Chapter 404: Ancient God’s Relic, Boundary Stele Crystal_1 “Yes, it’s Han Yi.”

The excitement in Duan Ji’s heart was beyond measure.

“In less than a hundred years, from the initial Spirit Transformation to the combat power of a Peak Half-Immortal, he’s infinitely close to a True Immortal.”

“How on earth did he do it?”

A faint negative thought suddenly surfaced in Duan Ji’s mind, but he quashed it in an instant.

Because the gap between them had now become too vast. Despite Han Yi only being at the Spirit Transformation Peak in terms of his cultivation level, having brute-forced his way through ten Projection Worlds, his combat power was utterly dominant over the average Half-Immortal.

Duan Ji’s experience was not lacking, and from these ten Projection Spaces, he had discerned a pattern. These spaces were not set up at random but were highly targeted.

Strength, mana, defense, speed, curse, area-of-effect, single-target, Different Race…

If someone could pass even one of them, it proved that they had a foothold among senior Half-Immortals and qualified to be an Immortal Envoy.

Those who could pass two aspects were essentially Peak Half-Immortals, and surpassing three or more placed them at the pinnacle among Peak Half-Immortals, exceptionally outstanding.

To pass all ten aspects required the strength of a True Immortal or power infinitely close to that of a True Immortal.

Looking at the current situation, that Han Yi was exactly such a cultivator.

Duan Ji felt a much deeper shock than the other cultivators, for he knew Han Yi better than the others present did.

However, when Han Yi emerged from the Void Tower after only a moment, causing shock and fear among the other cultivators upon seeing him…

Spirit Transformation Peak?

Hiss!

This is impossible.

That was the first thought for most cultivators, but being at the level of Spirit Transformation Peak and Half-Immortal, most were worldly and quickly realized the Spirit Transformation Peak Cultivator must have some other trump card or had cultivated through a different system to possess strength infinitely close to that of a True Immortal.

In front of all those cultivators, just when the expelled Han Yi from the Void Tower sensed that the mana in his body was full, Divine Force in surplus, and he was in peak condition, wearing a face full of surprise, he turned and saw the crowd staring straight at him, faces filled with various emotions but all invariably showing shock.

Yet, in Han Yi’s heart, there was no ripple; he remained calm.

When he was preparing to participate in the Immortal Envoy Assessment, just like when he took the Fifth-Stage Pill Master exam, he had the same mindset: to give it his all and aim to impress.

At his level, being low-key would more likely invite trouble, while displaying his strength would earn him more right to speak.

“Very good, extremely good.”

A voice with a hint of laughter broke the dead silence of the void, echoing slowly.

The speaker was one of the two Profound Immortals leading the group this time, Jiuyue the Profound Immortal.

Then, without saying anything further, he lightly waved his hand, and a Spirit Light appeared on the tokens worn by the cultivators, making all the cultivators participating in the assessment disappear.

“You may leave as well,” he turned and said to the eight True Immortals behind him.

The True Immortals each performed a salute and then teleported away.

To the average cultivator, they weren’t allowed to enter the Void Mirror, but there was no restriction for True Immortals to enter or exit the Void Mirror.

However, the departing True Immortals were also quite unsettled inside.

When they learned that the site of this Immortal Envoy Assessment was a Projection Space derived from the Void Tower, they knew that their mission this time was just a formality because the Void Tower was so mystical that even if True Immortals perished within, they could be revived—let alone these Half-Immortals and Spirit Transformation cultivators, who didn’t need their protection.

But at the end of the assessment, there was a cultivator who had really stormed through all the Projection Spaces and stepped into the Void Tower as a Spirit Transformation Peak practitioner.

This was simply too inconceivable, a defiance of the heavens.

Within the Immortal Court, factions were also divided, and if they could bring this Heaven Defying Cultivator into their camp, it would be considered a significant achievement. Once he became an immortal, he would be a powerful ally, which they naturally desired.

Therefore, they had already planned to investigate the background of this Heaven Defying Cultivator before leaving, hoping to bring him into their fold.

Meanwhile, within the Void Mirror.

After all the cultivators and True Immortals participating in the assessment had left, Jiuyue the Profound Immortal looked towards Jingyi the Profound Immortal and was about to speak. However, Jingyi spoke first:
“Just a Spirit Transformation, yet comparing with a Peak Half-Immortal in strength, I will not allow you to bring him into that place. A Sixth-Order Ancient God is not tolerated in the Immortal Realm, give up the idea.”

Having said that, Jingyi teleported away, leaving Jiuyue with a changing expression, but he ultimately settled with a resolute look, having made a decision.

In truth.

Jiuyue the Profound Immortal had been searching for practitioners of the Ancient God System of Sixth-Order and below for many years—those who were true Ancient Gods in strength.

Practitioners of the Ancient God System below Sixth-Order only had the form of the Ancient Gods and not the spirit.

It was only after breaking through to Sixth-Order that a practitioner could become a true Ancient God.

Such Ancient Gods could return to their innate state, unlock the Ancient God legacy, and glimpse into the true essence of Ancient Gods from the Extreme Ancient Era.

But since the first Yuan Gathering of the Daluo, no practitioner had broken through to become a Sixth-Order Ancient God and obtained the legacy.

And Jiuyue the Profound Immortal, a descendant of Ancient Gods, possessed the mysterious Nine-changes real body—an embodiment that, if cultivated to the utmost, could return to the state of Ancient Gods, enabling the practitioner to possess nine mysterious and profound alteration skills.

Of course, the Nine Changes Skill was too astonishing, with potential unknown dangers, and he dared not use it as his Tao Title; hence, he changed Nine Changes to Jiuyue.

Recorded within his race, if they could leverage the power of a true Ancient God, even if they could not revert to being an Ancient God, it would still enable the opening of Nine Changes Skill. Although it might only be a weakened version of the Nine Changes Skill, it would significantly enhance their combat power.
