61: Heading to the Australian continent
Cultivation Technique: Heavenly Circulation Method (Transcendent: 39221/100000)
The Transcendent Heavenly Circulation Method is now at First Refinement One Hundred Spirits.
It can operate on its own, completing one Refine Essence into Qi cycle in ten minutes.
To complete 100,000 cycles would take at least a year.
However, this was before Cultivating the Nine Tribulations Secret Codex. Now that his physical body has just completed the Second Cycle of Life and Death, one cycle can be completed in three minutes, giving Zhang Sheng the possibility of Cultivating this Cultivation Technique to Perfected State in a short time.
"Out of the furnace!"
Nine supreme-grade spirit food pills flew into Zhang Sheng's hand. The intervals between Cultivating the Nine Tribulations Secret Codex were perfectly used to refine spirit food pills.
Half a day!
The shortest interval for each cycle of physical body life and death Cultivation.
Zhang Sheng began to torment his physical body again.
The third cycle of physical body life and death completed!
The speed of Refining Essence into Qi increased to two minutes, and the speed of Primordial Chaos Qi Refining increased to one minute.
Zhang Sheng continued to refine spirit food pills and qi gathering pills.
Half a day later.
The fourth cycle of physical body life and death completed!
The time for Refining Essence into Qi was shortened to one minute, and the time for Primordial Chaos Qi Refining was shortened to 36 seconds.
At this moment, Zhang Sheng was already at Qi Sea Realm Perfection, with every 999 wisps of Spiritual Qi in his body forming a giant Spiritual Qi Dragon.
There were a total of nine giant Dragons circling in his Qi Sea Dantian.
Each wisp of Spiritual Qi contained 100 points of spiritual power, and the nine giant Dragons contained a total of 899,100 points of spiritual power.
This was the same as Song Xian when he reached Qi Sea Realm Perfection.
As long as Zhang Sheng wished, he could open the three palaces and step into the Divine Breath Realm at any time.
But how could that be!
The Heavenly Circulation Method's Perfected State was just around the corner. If he could reach One Refinement One Thousand Spirits, he would re-Cultivate the Qi Sea Realm!
..."Australia?"
After receiving Hou Wu's notification, Zhang Sheng quickly stopped Cultivating and rushed to the underground Cultivation hall.
It was his first time seeing Song Xian, who was in the Divine Breath Realm. There were no flamboyant Spiritual Qi fluctuations as imagined; instead, the Spiritual Qi was more restrained and difficult to detect.
What Zhang Sheng didn't know was that after a Divine Sense is born in the Divine Breath Realm, one can autonomously control their own Spiritual Qi fluctuations.
"Brother Sheng, why don't you always Cultivate with a Spirit Gathering Array?"
Wang Yu asked, puzzled.
"Uh! I've been busy refining pills for you guys."
"Uh, alright! To be so strong without a Spirit Gathering Array, I really don't know how you Cultivate."
Zhang Sheng always maintained a state of restrained aura. Except during battle, they had no idea of Zhang Sheng's Cultivation Realm.
"Everyone's here! Let's talk business!" Hou Wu opened the display screen on the wall.
"This is the Australian Continent! So far, two Blue-level Secret Realms have descended."
"That's the location marked in red in the video."
"Now the Australian government is preparing to open one of these Secret Realms. This Secret Realm is currently in a completely untargeted state."
"All foreign Cultivators can enter to hunt Yao Beasts."
"Dean, why is Australia doing this?" Song Xian asked.
"Naturally, their strength is insufficient, and this is not without conditions!" Hou Wu played another video.
In the footage, several giant wolf Yao Beasts wreaked havoc in the city, slaughtering and devouring humans. It was bloody, cruel, and unbearable to watch.
"A large number of Yellow-rank Secret Realms were not dealt with in time, leading to continuous outbreaks of the Seven-Day Catastrophe in Australia, with Qi Sea Realm Yao Beasts descending into the current world."
"The Australian government requires that each foreign Cultivator's quota to enter a Blue-level Secret Realm must be exchanged for the heads of Qi Sea Realm Yao Beasts within their territory."
"Two Qi Sea Realm Yao Beast heads for one quota, and there are only three days."
"After three days, the Blue-level Secret Realm will officially open. One day has already passed, so we need to act quickly!"
"Dean, I'll set off now!" Song Xian said excitedly.
"No!"
"You are currently one of only two Divine Breath Realm powerhouses in Huaxia, and the strongest in Huaxia. You need to stay!" Hou Wu said sternly.
"Can't a Clone go?" Lu Zhuo asked from the side.
"My Clone cannot be too far from my main body. Australia is too far from Huaxia!" Song Xian said helplessly.
Hou Wu looked at Zhang Sheng, "Zhang Sheng, so now only you can lead the team to Australia."
"Of course, whether you go or not is your choice. This trip is fraught with danger and not within Huaxia territory. You can refuse."
Naturally, Zhang Sheng had no reason to refuse.
"Dean, I am willing to go." Zhang Sheng said seriously.
"I want to go too!" Wang Yu raised his hands.
"Count me in!" Lin Jin quickly said.
In the end, it was decided that Wang Yu, Lin Jin, Leng Qinghe, and unexpectedly, Lin Yidong, would go with Zhang Sheng.
Zhang Sheng already knew that Lin Yidong had Awakened an SSS-grade Talent, Myriad Swords Returning to Origin, with extraordinary combat power.
The five agreed to depart by military transport plane early the next morning.
In a blink of an eye, it was the first day of August, less than half a month since the world's first Blue-level Secret Realm appeared in the United States.
As the transport plane approached the Australian Continent, Zhang Sheng transformed into a flying bird and flew out of the cabin.
Before heading to the Secret Realm, he still needed to find Qi Sea Realm Yao Beasts on the continent.
Under theInspection of his Spirit Eye, the scenery of the Australian Continent was indeed vastly different from Huaxia. On the grassland, a Yao Spider was eating the corpse of a Kangaroo.
"Brother Sheng, the Yao Beasts in Australia have proliferated to such an extent!"
"No wonder they chose to open the Blue-level Secret Realm. If this continues, the country will surely be destroyed, and Australia will probably become a Yao Beast paradise!" Lin Jin's long spear was like a Dragon, piercing through the Yao Spider.
"Brother Sheng, look!" Wang Yu pointed to the seaside in horror.
A massive Marine Yao Beast, over ten meters long, covered in a grayish-white skeleton, leaped out of the water.
It held the corpse of some kind of fish in its mouth, seemingly a Shark.
"Let's go!"
The proliferation of Yao Beasts in the ocean has long been a well-known fact, but the only option is to stay away from the coastline.
The main focus currently remains on clearing Secret Realms; the threat from the ocean can only be temporarily put aside.
"Everyone follow me, let's kill ten Yao Beasts first!"
Zhang Sheng and the other four flew at a speed of 200 kilometers per hour. After Zhang Sheng's Spirit Eye discovered a Qi Sea Realm Yao Beast, he would kill it and cut off its head.
The Australian government was indeed clever, using a Blue-level Secret Realm as bait to attract experts from around the world to clear out the Yao Beasts within its borders.
Otherwise, given the current situation on the Australian Continent, it would soon face extinction.
In less than two hours, Zhang Sheng and his group had killed ten Qi Sea Realm Yao Beasts... According to the positioning on the Smart Terminal, Zhang Sheng and the other four flew to the location of the Australian Blue-level Secret Realm.
From afar in the air, a huge luminous gate could be seen, no different from those in Huaxia.
The luminous gate was located in the suburbs of a large Australian city, and hundreds of experts from all over the world gathered in front of it.
Most of their auras were at the Middle to Late Stage Qi Sea Realm, and there were even two Divine Breath Realm Cultivators.
By sensing the Spiritual Qi auras on the two of them, they were far inferior to Zhang Sheng.
They were probably only at the level of One Refinement 10 Spirits.
Their total Spiritual Qi was only around 100,000.
In short, these people would not pose a threat to him.
However, one person did catch Zhang Sheng's attention; this individual actually possessed two completely different Spiritual Qi auras.
Zhang Sheng remembered this person's aura and appearance.
"Let's go, we'll hand over the Yao Beast heads to the guards!"
Ten Qi Sea Realm Yao Beast heads were exchanged for five passes from the guarding soldiers.
Only with a Pass would these guarding soldiers allow entry into the Secret Realm at the appointed time.
