Chapter 72: The Inevitable Had Finally Come to Pass
'Ye Fan has exchanged all his spiritual plants for cultivation methods!'
'It appears his ace in the hole must be connected to these cultivation methods!'
'Beyond unique opportunities, cultivation methods represent one of his most significant advantages. Spiritual plants, medicinal pills, and weapons all take a secondary role.'
'Thus, if I can seize the cultivation methods that belong to him, I'll be able to diminish his Heavenly Fate Value even more!'
'...'
Having analyzed the situation, Jiang Chen felt somewhat gratified. Now, he possessed a more precise plan of action to counter Ye Fan.
Without delay.
As everyone was preoccupied with organizing their spoils.
He commenced consuming spiritual plants to enhance himself!
First, he ingested a fire-attribute Heavenly Origin realm spiritual plant known as the 'Precious Flame Vermilion Fruit'!
"Chomp chomp, slurp."
Jiang Chen tossed the Precious Flame Vermilion Fruit into his mouth and chewed it a few times. Immediately, the juice burst forth and seeped out from the corners of his mouth.
He hastily reabsorbed it.
Once the Precious Flame Vermilion Fruit reached his stomach, the potent medicinal effects swiftly converged in his dantian and were absorbed by the Burning World Red Lotus.
In a flash,
The cracks on the Burning World Red Lotus visibly mended at an astonishing speed.
By the time the medicinal power of the Precious Flame Vermilion Fruit was entirely depleted, numerous cracks on the Burning World Red Lotus had also vanished.
'The second spiritual plant, Dark Vined Fiery Flower!'
Jiang Chen picked up the spiritual plant and crammed it into his mouth... then the third one, the fourth one...
Soon,
Jiang Chen had finished consuming all the spiritual plants he had collected this time.
After being nourished, the Burning World Red Lotus had considerably healed, with only a minuscule crack remaining before it would be fully restored.
Of course,
Its withered state remained unchanged.
'Lin Feng had excessively utilized the Burning World Red Lotus.'
'To restore it, I must consume an even greater amount of resources!'
'Fortunately, during this process of nurturing the Burning World Red Lotus, my rewards have been quite significant!'
'Not only has my ability to detect spiritual plants markedly enhanced, but most importantly, my aptitude and cultivation base have also progressed!'
'At present, I find myself at the bottleneck between the Middle-stage and Late-stage Mysterious Platform realm, poised to break through at any moment!'
Jiang Chen sensed the immense Yuan Power within his body, and his eyes sparkled with radiance!
Without delay,
He maximized the concealment ability of the Moondust Ring!
This Heavenly Origin realm top-grade artifact, created by the system, flawlessly masked Jiang Chen's aura!
'Commence the breakthrough!'
As a thought formed in Jiang Chen's mind, his Yuan Power started circulating at a rapid pace.
The medicinal effects of the previously ingested Ten-Turn Harmonious Spirit Pill also surfaced!
As the Yuan Power amassed in his dantian reached its pinnacle, the Mysterious Platform's rotational speed achieved its peak as well!
An increasing amount of Yuan Power merged into the Mysterious Platform.
At a specific moment,
The entire Mysterious Platform contracted and expanded like a beating heart, absorbing all the Yuan Power from the dantian!
In an instant,
The dantian and meridians were left empty, yet the Mysterious Platform had significantly improved!
An even more profound aura radiated from it.
'The Late-stage Mysterious Platform realm has been achieved!'
A subtle smile graced the corner of Jiang Chen's lips, and he promptly opened his panel.

'Half-step Heavenly Origin realm battle power!'
'Furthermore, with all my artifacts, even if I come across someone in the Heavenly Origin realm, I won't be instantly defeated and will have a chance to flee!'
A thrilled smile emerged at the corner of Jiang Chen's mouth.
Subsequently,
Jiang Chen retrieved the Carefree Heavenly Extreme Robe he had exchanged earlier, wearing it as the innermost layer.
Next, he produced the Black Crystal Sky Piercing Shuttle, concealing it near his waist, prepared for use at any moment.
As for the Shadowblade Sword, he would only draw it if he could vanquish the enemy.
If faced with an insurmountable foe, he would simply flee, eliminating the need to reveal the weapon.
At this moment,
Having achieved his breakthrough, Jiang Chen expanded his divine sense to survey the nearby sect disciples.
He observed that everyone had essentially organized their gains and was basking in delight.
None were aware that he had just advanced to the Late-stage Mysterious Platform realm!
"Now that the spiritual plants have been distributed,"
"Everyone has had a chance to rest, and time is limited, so it's time to continue our journey!"
"As for those eerie footprints, don't be afraid, and don't consider leaving the group to venture in other directions."
"If it's a danger that our five major sects combined cannot withstand, how can a single individual survive?"
Jiang Chen spoke with conviction, and then shouted, "Continue moving forward!"
"Let's go! Keep collecting spiritual plants!"
"If we encounter a danger that our five major sects combined cannot resist, then it's merely our misfortune."
"Yes, so we don't need to worry excessively."
"..."
Everyone reassured one another, suppressing the unease in their hearts, and continued to advance!
"Northeast direction, 4,000 steps! In a mountain stream, there's a Heavenly Origin realm spiritual grass!"
"Southeast direction, 3,000 steps! Within the heart of a giant tree, there's a Heavenly Origin realm spiritual plant, 'Floral Rain Precious Vine'!"
"..."
Jiang Chen's voice announcing the locations further alleviated everyone's anxiety. Numerous people were overjoyed, and the footprints were forgotten.
However!
Just as three disciples were gleefully competing to gather a Heavenly Origin realm spiritual plant!
"Roar!!"
An incredibly terrifying roar erupted!
Quicker than the sound was a red afterimage!
Swish!
The three Late-stage Spiritual Awakening realm cultivators had no time to react and were directly cleaved by the sharp claws!
With a series of thuds,
Six pieces of mutilated corpses fell to the ground, and an overwhelmingly potent scent of blood abruptly filled the air!
At this moment,
The true form of the red afterimage was unveiled.
A nearly ten-meter-tall giant humanoid monster with no skin, its flesh exposed and its bloody visage particularly horrifying!
This sudden scene,
Instantly shook everyone who witnessed it, their faces displaying terror and astonishment!
"Dead... someone's dead!"
"The owner of the footprints has appeared! They killed three Late-stage Spiritual Awakening realm cultivators in an instant!"
"This is at least a Mysterious Platform realm monster, damn it, what on earth is this creature!"
"Quick, go back and report the news!"
"..."
The seven or eight cultivators nearby wore panicked expressions on their faces and fled towards the center of the group!
In the blink of an eye,
They materialized within the detection range of the divine sense of the chief disciples from all the major sects.
Witnessing their alarmed and terrified state, a sense of foreboding settled in the hearts of all Mysterious Platform realm cultivators.
The inevitable had finally come to pass!
