I Have A Qi Fortune Altar-Chapter 688 - 444 Breakthrough, Starlight Enters the Pill!_3
Chapter 688: Chapter 444 Breakthrough, Starlight Enters the Pill!_3
As for Chen Yuan, Jingtai didn’t even consider the possibility—it was beyond his imagination. His cultivation was far too weak, merely at the Grandmaster level, insignificant in such affairs, completely overlooked by Jingtai.
He felt Chen Yuan simply lacked the capability to do so.
"Your Majesty, the starlight has moved towards the east. Should I personally investigate it?" Cao Zhengxian immediately asked in a low voice.
After a moment of contemplation, Jingtai narrowed his eyes and gradually suppressed the fury in his heart:
"No need, the starlight has vanished, and retrieving it would be pointless."
Of course, Jingtai believed that the one who intercepted the starlight and disrupted his plans was a True Monarch level power; sending Cao Zhengxian could be a death sentence.
Furthermore, the incident could not be spread; otherwise... it would draw attention to him.
All he could do was swallow the bitterness in silence.
Fortunately, this matter could not harm his roots. If he missed this opportunity, he could simply use other methods to break through the shackles.
"It is my incompetence."
"Enough, everyone leave. We must continue cultivating!"
Jingtai’s voice echoed in the ears of everyone at the Observatory.
Cao Zhengxian looked up, bowed quickly, and said:
"I take my leave, Your Majesty."
Let’s rewind to before.
Capital, within Qingyun Temple.
The old temple master appeared astonished as he watched the starlight in the void suddenly turn eastward. The fan in his hand paused mid-swing, clearly not anticipating this turn of events.
He did not expect that apart from himself, someone else was paying attention to the Seven Stars in a Row event, acting so swiftly and openly to intercept the starlight right before it was about to fall into the Imperial City.
Quite... intriguing.
"Master, why haven’t you slept yet?"
A young Daoist, rubbing his eyes, looked at the slightly swaying recliner in the courtyard and asked.
"I’m going to sleep, going now to sleep," the old temple master reverted to his usual demeanor and smiled lightly:
"I’m getting older, so I sleep late."
"Then I will head to the restroom first."
"Go ahead..."
The old temple master chuckled, waving his fan.
Watching the young Daoist leave, he stopped paying attention to the subsequent events and, bending his body, slowly walked towards a room. It wasn’t important who intercepted the starlight,
what mattered was that someone had.
Little Thunder Temple.
Similar to the reaction of the old master of Qingyun Temple, the Buddha Beads that Pu Xian Bodhisattva was about to move also froze for a moment as he watched the starlight heading east with a solemn expression.
With his cultivation, he could not see through the techniques used by the person who intercepted the starlight.
Astonishing!
But, it was good that it was intercepted.
Jingtai’s power had become uncontrollable. Another breakthrough would be undesirable for the Buddhist sect; what they needed in the Central Plains was a weakened court,
not a new dynasty clearing away corruption and revitalizing itself.
This did not align with the interests of the Buddhist sect.
He also had no interest in chasing the starlight, knowing it was taken by a True Monarch level powerhouse. If carelessly approached, a confrontation might even occur.
Such a conflict without any benefits was not his desire.
Of course, the most important thing was the mysterious methods used to intercept the starlight, which he found daunting. The starlight also disappeared swiftly, with only the eastward direction identifiable.
As to where exactly in the east, that was unknown.
The vast land is too extensive for him to search every inch methodically, isn’t it?
And Chen Yuan, who intercepted the starlight in the east, clearly did not expect so many significant figures to pay attention to this matter. He also happened to use the Qi Fortune Altar to disrupt Jingtai’s fortune.
When the starlight fell previously, he could only sense it was heading towards the Capital, but the exact area was beyond his understanding due to the distance.
In the starry sky, the Seven Stars in a Row began to gradually disperse. The moment of alignment lasted only briefly; thereafter, it vanished.
Chen Yuan gazed at the True Pill suspended in the void; now that the starlight had completely receded, it seemed indistinguishable from normal, except its momentum far exceeded that of previous moments.
And the once illusory True Pill now seemed as solid as reality.
Breakthrough, True Core!
The process was incredibly smooth, so much so that it surprised him.
He had originally thought it would require arduous cultivation to make a breakthrough, but as the starlight illuminated the Void Core, it visibly began to solidify at an observable pace.
This saved him an unknown amount of effort.
Opening his mouth, he swallowed a True Pill.
The Qi around his body began to climb steadily, surpassing the threshold of the Void Core, and reached the level of the True Core.
In less than two months, from his initial entry into the Core Realm to achieving True Core cultivation, such a rapid advance would draw even more attention than rising on the Fengyun List if word got out.
It was too fast...
Logically, the Lower Three Realms are the easiest to advance in cultivation. Once Core Formation is achieved, cultivation becomes as slow as a turtle’s crawl. Even someone as strong as Jiang He is only at the Heavenly Core level.
It shows just how difficult cultivation in the Core Realm can be.
But there’s nothing to be done about it—who told Chen Yuan to have a cheat?
No...
Chen Yuan didn’t have any cheat. This was all the reward of his painstaking and diligent cultivation.
After the True Pill entered his body, Chen Yuan did not stay there to stabilize his cultivation, as he was unaware of the commotion he caused and whether it might attract attention.
So, caution was paramount.
He was only tens of miles away from the Capital, which for those with powerful cultivation might as well be a blink of an eye. He wouldn’t risk his safety.
After quickly removing any traces of his presence in the area, Chen Yuan disappeared into the night once more.
He didn’t head back to the Capital immediately but instead followed the direction to North City, where he entered a hidden cave he had prepared in advance to stabilize the fortune that had come so suddenly.
After all, these things were still external forces. For the sake of his future cultivation, Chen Yuan always focused on stabilizing his cultivation and refining his foundation after a sudden increase in power.
What does a skyscraper rely on to rise from the ground?
A solid foundation.
This he knew very well.
Another night passed without incident until the next day when the sun had just risen, and its light spilled into the cave, he slowly opened his eyes and swiftly set out towards the Capital.
