[Gulp~]
Dozens of pills were stuffed into Su Qin’s mouth like candy.
When the pills entered Su Qin’s throat, they turned into a terrifying amount of vitality. All of which poured into Su Qin’s limbs and constantly refined his body.
The resources Su Qin consumed in one day of Cultivating was massive. The same amount could be used by another Peak Legend for several months.
It had been several years since he started his seclusion. For such a long time, the amount of pills he consumed was enough to make the Divine Medicine Sect dumbfounded.
This was only possible because of Su Qin’s decades of Sign Ins and his accumulation over the years. Even so, through the secluded bitter Cultivation in the past few years, Su Qin’s stash of resources were being drained at a rate visible to naked eye.
“After several years of hard work, I’m finally close to achieving the 9th Heavenly Layer.”
Su Qin opened his eyes. His thoughts moved and nine pills appeared in front of him.
Once these nine pills were exposed to the outside world, as soon as they left the system space, a natural phenomenon began to appear in the surroundings.
When Su Qin saw these nine pills, there was a painful expression on his face. He could only use these precious pills to ensure his breakthrough. He had to reluctantly take them out.
After all, at the cost of these pills, he’ll be able to break through. He could just continue to Sign In to get more. On the other hand, if he doesn’t use them and he fails to break through, he would definitely suffer a heavier loss than these nine pills.
Thinking of this, Su Qin immediately swallowed one of the pills.
[Bang~]
Su Qin felt as if there was a flame within his body. His True Essence, which was already condensed to the extreme, began to transform under the burning of the flame.
[Hong long long~]!
The next moment, Su Qin began to feel the impact of the bottleneck to the 9th Heavenly Layer.
A vast amount of True Essence and Divine Sense converged, which then rushed at the shackles locking him in the 8th Heavenly Layer.
Time passed and a few months passed in a blink of an eye.
In the past few months, Su Qin had already swallowed all of the remaining eight pills, and the terrifying medicinal power continued to accumulate within his body.
Today, Su Qin felt a sudden roar in his ears. It was then followed by his True Essence condensing and shrinking, as if it had reached a certain extreme.
Through introspection, Su Qin ‘saw’ that his True Essence was transformed to the extreme. But unless he crosses over to the next realm, his True Essence will not take the last step in it’s transformation.
“Is this the 9th Heavenly Layer?”
Su Qin let out a sigh of relief.
After entering the 9th Heavenly Layer, Su Qin naturally felt at ease.
At this moment, he had already stepped into the 9th Heavenly Layer and was close to the Great Arhat Realm. Even overseas, there were very few Martial Artists who had reached this level. Those that do, were sleeping and preserving their remaining lifespan.
“Next, I only need to transform my Divine Sense into a Primordial Spirit, and then I will be able to start impacting the Earth Immortal Realm…”
Su Qin looked excited.
The 9th Heavenly Layer was not the same as the 8th and 7th Heavenly Layer that’s divided into the Early, Middle, Late and Perfection.
Once one stepped into the 9th Heavenly Layer, it was equivalent to standing on the Peak. At least in terms of True Essence, one could no longer advance.
For any 9th Heavenly Layer Martial Artist, there were only two things that needed to be done.
The first was to condense the Mini Domain.
The second was to transform their Divine Sense into a Primordial Spirit.
To enter the Earth Immortal Realm, these two conditions were indispensable.
It’s just that, generally, Martial Artists who reach the 9th Heavenly Layer were 400 to 500 years old, or simply close to 500 years old. They were only a few years away from their lifespan ending. Hence, transforming their Divine Sense was tantamount to an id¡otic dream.
Perhaps there were techniques of increasing longevity overseas, but according to the Old Taoist, such techniques could only extend life for several decades at most, and it could not be repeatedly used.
Decades were most of the life of an ordinary person, but in the eyes of a 9th Heavenly Layer who aspires to become an Earth Immortal, it’s too short to be worth anything.
“I have the Primordial Spirit Pill, and there should be no problem in transforming my Divine Sense into one.” A smile appeared on Su Qin’s face.
Other Legends needed decades to slowly grind transforming their Divine Sense. Not to mention that they must also condense the Mini Domain.
To put it simply, if a Martial Artist wants to become an Earth Immortal, after entering the 9th Heavenly Layer, they need at least 100 years of lifespan to even have a glimmer of hope in achieving such a feat.
But in the end, hope is hope. There was no guarantee
Su Qin, on the other hand, had the Primordial Spirit Pill. It could shorten the amount of time he needed to spend transforming his Divine Sense from decades to several years, or even just a year. This was only because Su Qin wanted to experience the process of transforming his Primordial Spirit step by step. Otherwise with more than 50 Primordial Spirit Pills in hand, he only needed a few months.
“I wonder to what extent can more than 50 Primordial Spirit Pills improve my Primordial Spirit?”
Su Qin’s face showed expectation.
Although it was said that as long as the Primordial Spirit was transformed, the minimum prerequisite for impacting Earth Immortal was reached. But if one wanted to enter the Earth Immortal Realm more smoothly and gain greater benefits after entering the realm, one would need to continue to increase the “quality” of their Primordial Spirit.
The stronger the Primordial Spirit was, the more improvement one would obtain after the breakthrough.
On this point, even though Su Qin searched through the ancient records on Ying State Monster Island and the knowledge of the Old Taoist, he only knew the overall view. As for the specifics, he didn’t know much.
But then again, most 9th Heavenly Layers were already short on lifespan and didn’t have time to take their sweet time in strengthening their Primordial Spirit. They had to break through as soon as they met the requirements.
Also, no one else had Primordial Spirit Pills that they could use, like Su Qin did.
“I have the Flat Peach, so even if I fail to enter the Earth Immortal Realm, I’ll have a safety net to fall back on.”
When Su Qin faced the bottleneck to the Earth Immortal, his expression was casual. Unlike other 9th Heavenly Layer Legends who acted as if they were facing their greatest enemy, experiencing a life and death battle.
After all, Su Qin was different from other Legends. He still had more than 900 years of lifespan and if he took the Flat Peach, he would have 1900 years to live.
For such a long time, even a pig can enter the Earth Immortal Realm, even more Su Qin.
“But I’m not in a hurry for now.”
“I should first stabilize my level and then prepare to take Primordial Spirit Pills.”
Su Qin was an extremely cautious person. Even if he was full of confidence, he must strive to do his best, and he would not leave himself with the possibility of failure.
With his thoughts reaching this point, Su Qin closed his eyes again and began to stabilize his aura.

In the depths of the Western Desert.
Yellow sand filled the vast expanse and there were terrifying sandstorms appearing often. If common Martial Artists dared to venture deep here, it would not be long before they would be torn to pieces by the sandstorm.
However, somewhere in this sand filled place was a temple.
This temple was not big, but it stood tall amidst the raging sand. The sandstorms that approach the temple would disappitate within several hundred meters.
There was also a stone slab with the words ‘Ten Thousand Buddha Hall’ inscribed.
“9th Ancestor.”
“You woke up from your deep sleep this time and came to the battlefield. It took you several months to build this temple with your own hands and lay the foundation for the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall.”
An old monk spoke slowly, and finally a trace of doubt appeared in his tone: “It’s just that, why do you plan to enter the Tang Empire?”
The old monk looked at the figure in front of him.
This figure was also a monk, but he looked very young, like a fifteen-sixteen-year-old boy with red lips and white teeth.
But from start to finish, the old monk never regarded the young monk as a young boy.
The old monk knew that although the monk in front of him looked young, he was actually a Peak Venerable and the Ninth Ancestor of the Ten Thousand Buddha Hall.
“9th Ancestor.”
“The Peak Legend in the Tang Empire is deep and unmeasurable. Even a demon like Ancestor Chi Yuan fell into his hands. If you enter rashly, once the opponent is wary, misfortune would befall us… “
The old monk couldn’t help, but dissuade the boy.
He was very confident in the strength of the 9th Ancestor. As one of the foundations of the Ten Thousand Buddha Hall, the 9th Ancestor was stronger than Ancestor Chi Yuan. But now the peak Legend in Chang’an City was also strong, with an unknown measure of how strong he actually was.
The rest of the Major Sects overseas had, more or less, sent their own Ancestors to set up settlements in the battlefield and slowly migrate here to prepare for the future.
If at this time, the 9th Ancestor and the Tang Empire fight, regardless of who’s winning or losing the battle, both would lose the war. After all, wouldn’t this give the other Major Sect Ancestors opportunities?
A fisherman would be very likely to fish in the troubled waters.
This was also the reason why many Major Sects just stopped at the edge of the battlefield, and did not immediately act on the Tang Empire.
Of course, it was also partly because Su Qin killed Ancestor Chi Yuan and deterred the Major Sects with his strength.
But the more important reason was that the Major Sects were afraid of each other taking advantage of the chaos and one’s weakness.
“I’m going to the Tang Empire, not to be an enemy of the Peak Legend there, but to feel the aura of ’Buddha’ on this continent.”
There was a trace of enthusiasm on the face of the young monk called the ‘9th Ancestor’.
Although Ten Thousand Buddha Hall was known as the source of Buddhism since the last prosperous era, in fact, even the Ancestors of the Ten Thousand Buddha Hall like the 9th Ancestor had never really felt the existence of ‘Buddha’.
But now, the 9th Ancestor faintly felt the aura of ‘Buddha’ on the battlefield, which was simply unimaginable.
If it weren’t for the aura being faint to the point that the 9th Ancestor was not sure himself, the 9th Ancestor wouldn’t have waited till this time to go and check.
“Buddha?”
The old monk’s pupils shrunk, he was shocked by what he just heard.
