99: One year in the outside world, nine years in the tower

Imperial City.

Eastern Wilderness Cloud Emperor Cultivation Tower.

A year passed in the outside world in the blink of an eye.

However, in the third-floor spatial world of the Treasure Pagoda, nine years had already gone by.

During these nine years, Long Aotian's Cultivation achievements were astonishing.

Firstly, his Physical Body strength not only reached Immortal Ascension of the Physical Body but was also at the Six Immortal Body Realm within it.

As for how strong the Six Immortal Body Realm truly is in the Immortal Realm?

Long Aotian currently did not know.

However, in the Lower Realm, even if a Tribulation Transcendence Realm Ninth Revolution Peak Stage expert wielded an Immortal Treasure to strike him, it would be difficult to harm him in the slightest.

That is to say, in the Lower Realm, no matter what kind of attack he suffered, he was practically indestructible; enemies couldn't even break through his Physical Body.

In terms of Physical Body, he was already invincible!

Next was the Breakthrough in Void Formation.

In the second year within the Treasure Pagoda, Void Formation successfully advanced from level six to level seven.

A level seven Void Formation was equivalent to an ordinary level eight Formation, capable of killing Spirit Division Realm experts, and Long Aotian's Void Formation had a stacking effect, allowing him to contend with Mahayana Realm experts, and even kill them.

However, destroying the Shi family and the Fire Cloud Sect still posed some difficulty.

Clearly, the power of the level seven Void Annihilation Array had not yet reached the level Long Aotian desired, and he continued to learn.

Finally!

In the eighth year spent in the Treasure Pagoda, Long Aotian successfully elevated Void Formation from level seven to level eight.

A level eight Void Formation was equivalent to an ordinary level nine Formation, capable of slaughtering Mahayana Realm experts like dogs, and even against Tribulation Realm Experts, the stacked Formation could allow him to contend with them.

Thus, Void Formation finally reached a level that Long Aotian found quite satisfactory!

What he wanted was this effect: a single killing Formation capable of erasing the Shi family and the Fire Cloud Sect from the Eastern Wilderness.

This time, he wanted to see who else in the Eastern Wilderness would dare to bully his Long family, to bully his elders!

Thinking of bullying elders, Long Aotian couldn't help but recall Lei Yunshan; that old fellow had, upon arriving at Immortal Severing Mountain, immediately demanded his grandfather, Long Wudi, change his name, and he absolutely had to let him experience the taste of having his name changed.

What should he change his name to?

Lei Yaoshan?

Lei Yaozi?

Lei Da Yaozi?

Lei'er?

Lei Baobao?

Lei Baobei'er?

Hmm, that name seems to have the right flavor; it'll disgust that old fellow to death... After Void Formation broke through to level eight, Long Aotian deeply felt that reaching level nine might take at least ten years, so he temporarily paused his continued study of Void Formation and turned to studying ordinary Formations instead.

Ordinary Formations also subsequently advanced to level seven.

It could be said that Long Aotian's achievements in the Dao of Formations during his one year in the outside world were also extremely significant.

Of course, the most important was still the improvement of his Cultivation.

Long Aotian's Chaos Dao Art ran at a speed that he dared to claim second to none, and no one would dare to claim first; coupled with abundant Cultivation resources, even though Long Aotian's Cultivation involved cultivating all twelve attribute Spiritual Roots, equivalent to twelve pure Spiritual Root Cultivators practicing simultaneously, the Cultivation resources consumed were also terrifyingly vast, severely slowing down his progress.

Yet, in the third year within the third-floor spatial world of the Treasure Pagoda, Long Aotian's Cultivation still broke through to the Out-of-Body Realm Ninth Revolution Peak Stage.

The next major Realm was the Spirit Division Realm, which he had been longing for.

Whether he could achieve multi-tasking was all up to this one attempt.

With ample preparation, he charged towards the Spirit Division Realm without hesitation.

The result did not disappoint him; he truly achieved one hundred and eight simultaneous tasks.

One hundred and eight was exactly the number of spiritual nodes he had opened in his twelve attribute Spiritual Roots during the Vein Opening Realm, and this ultimate one hundred and eight simultaneous tasks seemed to be an innate characteristic of the Chaos Dao Body.

Of course, the so-called multi-tasking was not truly the mind multitasking, but the Soul!

If the Soul was strong enough, it could achieve Divided Soul, separating one hundred and eight Soul Bodies, including the main Soul.

What were the benefits of doing this?

Firstly, the Divided Soul was controlled by the main Soul, or rather, the Divided Soul executed the main Soul's commands, and at the same time, the Divided Soul basically possessed the skills and knowledge of the main Soul.

This way, for example, in Alchemy, Long Aotian could directly separate one hundred and eight Souls, allowing the Divided Soul to perform Alchemy, capable of refining one hundred and eight furnaces at once... Secondly, the Divided Soul could Cultivate; after the Souls reunited, their Cultivation achievements would become Long Aotian's achievements.

For example, if Long Aotian separated several Souls, one Soul studied Void Formation and elevated Void Formation from level eight to level nine, another Soul studied Alchemy and elevated Alchemy from first-grade to eighth-grade, then when Long Aotian's Souls reunited, the Cultivation achievements of the Divided Soul would become his achievements; at this point, Long Aotian would be a level nine Void Formation King and an eighth-grade Alchemist... This was the ingenious aspect of multi-tasking.

As long as there were enough Divided Souls, Long Aotian would accept all kinds of unconventional methods... After breaking through to the Spirit Division Realm, Long Aotian's Divine Sense coverage also reached an unimaginable extent.

Namely:

One hundred and eighty million li!

It had already far surpassed the Divine Sense strength of Ascension level experts, rivaling the Divine Sense strength of the lowest Cultivation Immortals in the Immortal Realm.

In terms of Divine Sense strength, Long Aotian also achieved invincibility in the Lower Realm.

Cultivation knows no years.

An entire year passed in the outside world, and his final Cultivation achievements were astonishing:

Physical Body Realm broke through to Six Immortal Body!

Cultivation Realm broke through to the Spirit Division Realm Eighth Revolution Stage, successfully achieving one hundred and eight simultaneous Soul Divisions upon breaking through to the Spirit Division Realm.

Void Formation broke through to level eight!

Ordinary Formations broke through to level seven!

Divine Sense coverage reached one hundred and eighty million li!

With such achievements, Long Aotian seemed to have become addicted to Cultivation, planning to continue to hide in the Treasure Pagoda for another decade or so, thoroughly becoming an old monster and an invincible land Immortal in the Lower Realm.

However, someone disturbed his beautiful dream, directly blasting him out of the Cultivation chamber... 5/5
