I Grind to Martial Saint

Han Yuan sat cross-legged in the very center of the White Stone Forest, circulating the Innate Great Demon Scripture and frantically absorbing Spiritual Qi.

Among the three of them, his cultivation phenomenon was the most dramatic.

The Spiritual Qi was so dense it seemed to form a storm, continuously battering Han Yuan's body.

This was only possible because Han Yuan's physique was incredibly strong, allowing him to withstand the furious assault of Spiritual Qi.

If it were an ordinary Gang Essence Martial Artist, they would likely have been torn apart by the Spiritual Qi in an instant.

Old Yan and Zhang Cang were also absorbing the surging Spiritual Qi.

This was the central area, where the Spiritual Qi was exceptionally dense. No matter how much the three of them absorbed, Spiritual Qi emerged in a ceaseless flow, even forming a cyan mist that created a strangely beautiful sight.

Of course, during their Cultivation, some Gang Essence Martial Artists came to the island, wanting a piece of the pie.

But White Stone Island had long been covered by Old Yan's Array. He would immediately sense the presence of anyone who set foot on it.

When that happened, Han Yuan would take action, killing them with ruthless speed.

After he had killed several Gang Essence Martial Artists, no one else dared to set foot on White Stone Island.

After all, there was only so much Spiritual Qi on the island—just enough for the three of them.

Han Yuan wouldn't stand for sharing any more of it.

In the following days, Han Yuan continued his diligent Cultivation of the Innate Great Demon Scripture.

Starting from the Eleventh Layer, he blazed through to the Twelfth Layer, then the Thirteenth Layer...

Han Yuan didn't notice something else.

The raccoon cat statue he had placed beside him was also breathing in Spiritual Qi, and a faint luster had appeared on its grayish-white stone skin.

Later on,

The grayish-white stone on its two cat eyes flaked off, revealing a pair of shiny black eyeballs.

However, after the eyeballs rolled around once, as if grasping the situation, they quickly reverted to their grayish-white stone appearance.

「Half a month later.」

An extremely intense fluctuation of Divine Soul suddenly erupted from Old Yan's body.

His aged face instantly seemed much younger.

He had transformed from an old man into a middle-aged one, his spirit completely refreshed.

"Hahaha!!!"

"I did it!!!"

"I really did it!!!"

Old Yan couldn't contain his joy, standing up and raising his arms in a triumphant shout.

It was clear he had broken through from the Three Soul Realm to the Seven Soul Realm.

With this, his lifespan would be greatly extended; living for a few more centuries would be no problem.

Hearing the commotion Old Yan was making, Han Yuan opened his eyes. He saw the man's excited expression and couldn't help but shake his head.

However, he could understand Old Yan's excitement and didn't disturb him, simply closing his eyes and resuming his Cultivation.

His state of mind had long reached a point where he remained unmoved by external matters.

This bit of noise was no disturbance to him at all.

After a while, Old Yan's excitement finally cooled, and he calmed down.

He had, after all, just broken through, so he naturally needed to take advantage of the dense Spiritual Qi to solidify his new realm.

Otherwise, it was possible for his joy to turn to sorrow; he could even fall from the Seven Soul Realm back to the Three Soul Realm.

And such things happened quite often.

...

In the blink of an eye, another half a month passed.

The tidal wave of Spiritual Qi from the emergence of the Spiritual Land finally began to dissipate.

Han Yuan ended his Cultivation at last.

He opened the Skill Proficiency Panel.

Host: Han Yuan

Innate Great Demon Skill: Fourteenth Layer (2156/15000)

Azure Heaven Annihilation Saber: Minor Success (3263/5000)

Celestial Spirit Divine Fist: Minor Success (2867/5000)

Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill: Perfection (Invincible Vajra)

......

One month of frantic Cultivation had allowed Han Yuan to raise the Innate Great Demon Skill by three layers.

This was already a terrifyingly fast cultivation speed.

After all, since breaking through to the Gang Essence Realm, the proficiency needed to advance each layer of the Innate Great Demon Scripture had skyrocketed.

Now, the Great Demon Gang Essence in his body surged like a tide, more condensed and terrifyingly powerful than before.

'I wonder what a Middle Spiritual Land is like...'

'If I could cultivate in a Middle Spiritual Land for a few months, I might truly be able to step into the Innate Realm.'

Han Yuan stood up.

Zhang Cang and Old Yan also finished their Cultivation.

"Old Yan... you stay on the island for now. Isolate this Spiritual Land from the mortal world."

"Then... hide it... Don't let anyone find it."

Han Yuan said calmly.

"Don't worry. Now that I've broken through to the Seven Soul Realm, I can use some techniques that I couldn't before. I won't disappoint you,"

Old Yan said with a smile.

Although Han Yuan hadn't explained certain things, having lived for so many years, he had naturally guessed some of Han Yuan's intentions.

Besides, he was a lonely old man with no wife or children.

He owed his ability to cultivate in this newly emerged Spiritual Land entirely to Han Yuan.

Otherwise, he never would have been able to cultivate so peacefully on White Stone Island.

"Then I'll be counting on you."

Han Yuan nodded.

The Spiritual Qi on White Stone Island had now dissipated. It would require an Array to slowly accumulate it again.

The next time it could be opened would likely be ten years from now.

He and Zhang Cang left White Stone Island.

Time was now extremely tight for Han Yuan. He had to seize every moment to prepare.

On the wide surface of the Cangjiang River, a small boat cut through the surging waves, speeding ahead as it rode the wind and broke the surf.

Han Yuan stood at the bow, gazing into the distance, and said softly, "Zhang Cang, this is going to be a nasty fight. You need to be prepared."

Zhang Cang stood right beside Han Yuan. "I'm just here to assist you. It all still depends on you."

"But I don't think it will be a problem for you."

Han Yuan's expression grew solemn. "Actually, I'm not sure about this one... All I can do is my best and leave the rest to fate."

Zhang Cang fell silent.

He knew that Han Yuan actually had another path he could take.

That was to take advantage of the fact that the Spirit Sun Sect hadn't reacted yet and leave Cangshui County, leave Jianghe Province, and even leave the Great Ling Dynasty.
