Chapter 651 - 633: Breaking Through to True Immortal, Farewell to the Lost Dao Vessel (Part 2)
As time passed, moments slipped away.
Approximately half a year later.
A surge of overwhelming immortal power suddenly erupted from Ji Haoyuan’s body.
He slowly opened his eyes, a slight smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
"I’ve reached the Immortal Transformation Fifth Layer Heaven.
Next, I only need to take one more step forward to completely transform my immortal power and become a true immortal, also known as the True Immortal realm."
As the words fell, Ji Haoyuan continued his cultivation.
However, just as he went on with his training, about another half year later.
In the depths of his consciousness, a severely damaged Flying Ship quietly sailing in the void suddenly appeared.
This scene abruptly startled Ji Haoyuan out of his cultivation state.
His eyes still held a trace of disbelief, and he couldn’t stop murmuring.
"How can it be that?
Why do I see it while I’m cultivating?
I should be back in the Lower Realm now.
And if I remember correctly, I had already severed all calamity energy from myself with the Celestial Tribulation Saber, cutting any connection with that thing.
But now..."
Ji Haoyuan felt uneasy in his heart.
He couldn’t understand why, without any reason, the legendary forbidden entity, the Lost Vessel, would appear in his consciousness.
What does this mean?
Inexplicably, a shadow cast over Ji Haoyuan’s heart.
Fortunately.
When he tried to continue cultivating, the image of the Lost Vessel did not reappear.
And so, as another year went by.
The cave residence where Ji Haoyuan was meditating suddenly filled with brilliant immortal light.
A dense aura of Dao transformed almost into tangible form, causing flowers to bloom chaotically and golden lotuses to spring from the ground on the Daoist Field Spirit Peak.
This phenomenon allowed all the cultivators present to experience a baptism of origin rules.
Almost unconsciously, they felt as if they had entered an extremely strange state.
Their understanding of various laws seemed to elevate a level out of thin air.
Subconsciously, their gazes turned towards the direction where Ji Haoyuan was in seclusion, their hearts unable to suppress a surge of excitement.
"Could it be that Nanhua has already..."
Whoosh!
At the same time, Ji Haoyuan’s figure suddenly appeared outside the cave residence.
At this moment, he did not interact much with those present but instead took a step forward, instantly reaching beyond the Central Earth Divine Continent.
It was because Ji Haoyuan sensed the aura originating from the Celestial Tribulation.
He felt a slight surprise in his heart.
Based on his understanding, ordinary Immortal Transformation realm immortals would not trigger a Celestial Tribulation when breaking through the Immortal Transformation Sixth Layer Heaven.
But in his case, something unusual clearly occurred.
Could it be related to the arts I’m currently cultivating?
No one understood better than him that the arts he practiced had long transcended any single school, being a fusion of many classics, modified entirely by himself.
Under such circumstances...
Boom!
Without giving Ji Haoyuan much time to think, a crimson lightning bolt suddenly descended from the sky.
Within the scarlet lightning, a fiery figure seemed to stand.
He held a crimson banner in his hand.
With a gentle shake of it, an endless sea of fire fell alongside the lightning.
That was the Samadhi True Fire capable of incinerating a True Immortal.
Ji Haoyuan, though unafraid, detected something unusual.
It was because the intensity of this Celestial Tribulation seemed to exceed his imagination.
Bang!
Golden divine flames coiled around him, and he punched directly at the descending crimson lightning and Samadhi True Fire.
In an instant, the heavens and earth shook.
The punch, infused with golden divine flames, seemed somewhat dim under the Celestial Tribulation.
Indeed!
His eyes narrowed.
He decided not to hold back any longer.
His hands swiftly formed a lightning seal.
With a thundering sound.
Golden lightnings, as brilliant as great suns, surged toward the sky.
The surrounding space shattered into pieces.
The terrifying lightning capable of destroying a True Immortal, and the Samadhi True Fire, vanished under Ji Haoyuan’s golden lightning.
However, the tribulation clouds in the sky did not dissipate.
In a blink, thunder palaces rose, aiming to suppress Ji Haoyuan.
At the center of the palaces sat a Thunder Giant.
His immense figure.
Each of his eyes appeared like stars, exuding an overwhelming pressure.
"Hmph!"
Yet, Ji Haoyuan snorted coldly.
In the next moment, his figure expanded rapidly.
In the blink of an eye, he seemed like a tremendous mountain.
His entire body radiated five-colored divine glow.
In his palm, a great sun slowly rotated.
As he raised his hand to meet the massive palaces.
Thunderous booms echoed between heaven and earth again.
Time and space seemed shattered in that instant.
Countless chaotic and twisted temporal ripples spread continuously.
But ultimately, the imposing and dreadful thunder palaces were still obliterated by Ji Haoyuan.
Afterward.
Various other arduous tribulations descended from the sky.
Among them were the waters of the Nether River from the Nine Hells, the spiritless black wind from the Abyss, and the divine thunder of rules from the Nine Heavens.
Their apparent aim was solely to erase this "anomaly" that seemed not to belong to the normal world, Ji Haoyuan.
However, with Ji Haoyuan’s current foundation, unless a celestial being of the Starry Sky level descended, almost no force within the True Immortal domain could threaten him.
Hence.
As another half-day went by.
The tribulation clouds finally began to reluctantly dissipate.
In their place appeared a vast expanse of colorful auspicious clouds.
Among them, divine glow cascaded down.
Ji Haoyuan bathed in it, clearly feeling his cultivation level rapidly improving.
In just an instant, he had already consolidated the realm of the Immortal Transformation Sixth Layer Heaven.
Hours later.
Ji Haoyuan once again clearly felt that his realm had already approached the threshold of the Immortal Transformation Seventh Layer Heaven.
Next, he only needed to calmly cultivate a bit further to break through to the Immortal Transformation Seventh Layer Heaven, also known as the True Immortal Seventh Layer Heaven.
Just as he was about to leave here and return to the Ten Thousand Laws Sacred Land, he caught sight of something, at the corner of his eye, that should not have been there.
It was a severely damaged, decaying Flying Ship quietly floating in the air.
Lost Vessel!
The words immediately surfaced in Ji Haoyuan’s mind.
It couldn’t help but send chills down his spine.
What on earth is going on?
Why would I see the Lost Vessel here again out of nowhere?
Shouldn’t it reside in the Upper Realm now?
Why is it appearing here?
Recalling the scene presented in his consciousness during cultivation that day.
Ji Haoyuan realized he might have been marked by it.
This made his complexion turn very grim.
The joy from his cultivation breakthrough vanished completely at that moment.
He dared not make any reckless moves.
Because, according to what Wei Tian’s siblings had said, when facing any forbidden existence, the best approach is to do nothing when you do not understand its patterns or motives.
One should not attempt to approach it, thinking oneself clever.
That could easily lead to disaster.
Yet, as time continued to pass.
Ji Haoyuan gradually sensed something amiss.
The Lost Vessel showed no intention of leaving.
In contrast, the distance between them seemed to be slowly decreasing.
Most importantly, this sense of decreasing distance was not a physical one but entirely originated in his consciousness, on the spiritual level.
What exactly is this?
Is it trying to pull me onto the vessel?
Suddenly, Ji Haoyuan was overwhelmed by a profound sense of fear.
