Sage of Humanity-Chapter 1681 - 1679: Breaking the Limit

The location where Lu Ye currently stands is already at the limit of what he can endure. Although the ancient environment of this starry marvel hasn't affected him, the deeper position and the intense grinding force are not something he can ignore.

This intangible grinding force is extremely mysterious. Previously, Lu Ye was constantly fleeing and had no time to carefully experience it. Only now, as he calms his mind, does he become aware of it.

It seems as though he is truly situated within an invisible millstone, with every inch of flesh under a marvelous grinding.

His spirit force remains unchanged, flowing as it always has, but under this mysterious grinding, his flesh and blood begin to rhythmically pulse.

Lu Ye attempts to resist this rhythmic movement but finds that the more he resists, the more intense the grinding force becomes. Soon, his skin starts to crack open, oozing crimson blood.

Secretly taken aback, this strange grinding force... is so powerful. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

It's important to know that his current physical body is considered the peak within the Constellation Realm. This level of resistance alone is causing him harm. Continuing would only have more severe consequences.

Moreover, in the process of resisting this rhythmic movement, Lu Ye finds that not only is his flesh sustaining some damage, but even his blood Qi shows signs of weakening.

This is quite an incredible thing.

Thinking it over, he no longer resists this mysterious rhythmic movement but rather observes the changes quietly.

Very soon, Lu Ye reveals a look of amazement, for under the influence of that mysterious grinding force, he clearly feels that his already refined to the extreme physical body shows signs of further enhancement.

He is greatly shocked because he believes that at this stage of the Constellation Realm, he has reached the pinnacle, and his body should have been refined to the limit. If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have comprehended the bloodline inheritance of the Blood Race and subsequently condensed treasure blood.

But in fact, what he thought was the extreme wasn't the limit!

Apart from the surprise, more is joy because there is still room for self-improvement. In this way, the more solid the foundation of the Constellation Realm, the stronger it would undoubtedly be when advancing to Moon Jade and Sun Blaze in the future.

The cultivation of the upper three realms for cultivators mainly lies in refining their Essence Qi. The essence of the body is the first to be refined because the physical body is the foundation for the cultivator. Subsequently, the Qi in the Moon Jade Realm, the spirit in the Sun Blaze Realm, are all built on the foundation of essence.

The stronger the foundation, the more intense the Qi and spirit it can carry.

This Yin-Yang Great Millstone, it was the right decision!

Fortunately, the Reincarnation Tree gave a reminder back then; otherwise, Lu Ye wouldn't have thought of coming all this way to such a place.

Although he could still come here to refine his body after advancing to Moon Jade, by that time, the benefits gained wouldn't be as significant as they are now.

What stage of cultivation a cultivator should focus on what is predefined.

The many Moon Jade cultivators currently cultivating in the Yin-Yang Great Millstone are presumably also compensating for their lack of foundation, but how much they can gain is debatable.

The intangible grinding force continues to exert its effect, and the rhythmic movement of his flesh and blood never ceases. Under such rhythm, Lu Ye feels his physical body has once again been enhanced.

After two days, the initial pressure gradually disappeared, and Lu Ye stood up, heading deeper.

The original position was already his limit, and it wasn't advisable to go deeper. But after his physical body was strengthened once more, the original limit was clearly broken.

Until Lu Ye reached another limit position, he stopped.

The grinding force in this place was undoubtedly stronger than where he stayed before. Once again, Lu Ye experienced the sensation of being placed in a millstone and being incessantly ground, with his flesh squirming intensely anew.

Time after time, advancing, breaking his limits again and again, such cultivation is intoxicating. Lu Ye completely forgets the passage of time, his mind fixated on one thought—discovering where exactly his ultimate limit lies.

Initially, he could still vaguely sense the aura of some physically strong Moon Jade cultivators practicing here, but as he delved deeper, not even a shadow of Moon Jade could be seen.

It's not that his body is necessarily stronger than those Moon Jade cultivators, but he can ignore the suppression of the ancient environment here, giving him an innate advantage compared to those Moon Jade. On the other hand, those Moon Jade cultivators are subject to environmental suppression upon entering here, making it uncertain how much of their strength they can exert.

The Reincarnation Tree probably didn't anticipate that Lu Ye could venture this deep. It actually advises every cultivator it takes an interest in.

However, throughout history, few have managed to achieve what Lu Ye has.

A part of the reason is naturally due to his extraordinarily solid foundation.

The other part is because of the countless Sacred Blood he has refined, acquiring the Blood Race inheritance, especially after the birth of treasure blood, propelling his physique to far exceed cultivators of the same realm.

It can be said that in terms of the extreme of physical refinement, he has an extremely enormous potential, a potential he had not realized before, even mistakenly thinking he had already refined his body to the utmost. Now, through the terrifying grinding force of the Yin-Yang Great Millstone, it has been developed step by step!

As a result, this led to his repeated breaking of limits and venturing deeper into the Yin-Yang Great Millstone.

Lu Ye slowly understood these matters and naturally became eager to discover where his true limit lies.

As time passed, he gradually noticed that the strengthening of his physique was slowing down, and the breaking of limits was becoming more gradual.

Although it was regrettable, he also knew that a person's limit couldn't be infinite; there would always be a true end.

At present, he was about to reach that true end.

Of course, this was just the end of the Constellation; when he advanced to Moon Jade, Sun Blaze, the limits of his physical body would greatly enhance.

He felt satisfied. If he hadn't come to this place, he might have already advanced to Moon Jade at the All Phenomena Ocean. Though still powerful, the potential of the Constellation Realm would not have been fully unleashed, which would ultimately affect his future growth.

Until a certain moment, when Lu Ye felt that his potential was about to reach its true limit, something inside him suddenly hummed, as if something had been broken...

An indescribable sense of comfort spread from within, making Lu Ye feel as if his entire being was undergoing a physical and spiritual sublimation.

The flow of blood Qi surged like a torrent, roaring like thunder, and the center of his forehead suddenly became incredibly hot, as all his blood Qi rushed rapidly to that location.

Lu Ye couldn't help but furrow his brow, not knowing what was happening.

But when he calmed his mind to sense it, he found nothing unusual within himself.

As the blood Qi flowed, the center of his forehead became hotter and hotter. Just as Lu Ye was about to reach his limit, that intense heat suddenly disappeared, replaced by boundless comfort.

Lu Ye paused for a moment, gently clenched his fist, and felt an exceedingly wild force surging throughout his entire body.

In the past, if he faced a cultivator of the Constellation Late Stage, he could kill with one saber strike, but now he could obliterate them with a single punch.

The refinement of his physical body's essence to its true extreme had enhanced his physical strength to a terrifying degree.

With such strength, supplemented by his saber skills, Lu Ye felt that even if there were a Moon Jade in front of him, he could prevail!

Previously, he certainly wouldn't have been able to. Over the years, he had contended with several Moon Jade cultivators, often relying on Lih Shang's Soul Possession to assist him, and even then, he could only fight on par with those who were newly advanced to Moon Jade.

However, now, even without Lih Shang's help, Lu Ye was confident he could slay a newly advanced Moon Jade, like a specter...

Moreover... he felt as if there was something new at the center of his forehead.

He quickly searched through his storage ring and found a mirror-like spirit treasure, and held it up to his face.

Yet there was nothing to be seen.

Lu Ye was somewhat skeptical. The intense heat at the center of his forehead just now wasn't an illusion, and he indeed felt there was something extra there. But why couldn't he see it?

After a brief contemplation, Lu Ye vigorously stimulated his blood Qi energy, and as the power surged to an extreme, the scene in his vision finally changed.

There was indeed something at his forehead, but it didn't reveal itself under normal circumstances. It only appeared when he pushed his blood Qi energy to the limit.

Upon closer inspection, the object resembled a star-like mark, sitting precisely at the center of his forehead, with a blood-red hue, vibrant and dripping.

What is this?

Lu Ye was puzzled, as he hadn't heard of anyone else having such a thing at the peak of the Constellation Realm. But he could feel that it was of no harm to him. As for benefits... there seemed to be none either; it didn't reveal itself under normal conditions, only emerging when he exerted himself to the fullest, meaning it only appeared during desperate situations.

It seemed the next time he saw the Reincarnation Tree, he needed to ask about this clearly.

Though he didn't understand the mysterious nature of this star mark, he was certain that his mission to the Yin-Yang Great Millstone was complete.

This was probably the purpose for which the Reincarnation Tree guided him here.

It was time to start preparing for his advancement to Moon Jade.

For other cultivators, having suitable treasures to assist in advancing to Moon Jade would naturally be the best, as that would increase the success probability of advancement. And if they could advance in a special environment like the Constellation Palace, that would be even better.

Lu Ye had initially planned to advance inside the Constellation Palace as well.

But after he learned of some mysteries, he realized there was no need, because whether advancing inside the Constellation Palace or using corresponding treasures, it was all about purifying one's spirit force.

Since Lu Ye began his cultivation, his spirit force had been pure and immaculate, so naturally, he had no need to rely on any external force.

And all this was thanks to the Talent Tree. The power of incineration from the Talent Tree allowed him to consume elixir pills or refine other forces without any impurities.

Other cultivators weren't so fortunate. Consuming elixir pills inevitably involved pill poison, and even so-called supreme-grade elixir pills from the outside contained it, albeit in very mild doses.

Likewise, refining spirit jade also incorporated minute, undetectable impurities into the body. Though not a concern short-term, once accumulated, it significantly impeded a cultivator's advancement to Moon Jade.
