Another half an hour passed.
Finally, it was Lu Yuan's turn.
He handed the token, which symbolized his status as an Outer Sect Disciple, to the Holy Land deacon.
The deacon lifted his eyelids, swept his Divine Thought over it, found no issues, and quickly let him pass.
Afterward, Lu Yuan put away his token and, following the crowd, quickly entered the Yunlong Stream.
As soon as he entered, an extremely rich Heavenly Essence Qi rushed towards him.
It made one's pores open up, feeling refreshed and invigorated.
It was as if he was immersed in an ocean of Spiritual Qi.
"As expected of Yunlong Stream!"
"Cultivating here will surely yield twice the results with half the effort, and progress will be swift!"
Lu Yuan looked around, muttering in admiration.
Immediately, he stopped wasting time.
He quickly found an open spot, sat down cross-legged, circulated his Dao Cultivation Technique, and began to Cultivate.
Rumble!
In an instant, Lu Yuan's golden Bitter Sea was no longer calm.
Turbulent waves surged, and a powerful roar echoed.
At the same time, countless strands of Heavenly Essence Qi, as if drawn by a mysterious force, rapidly converged towards his location.
The energy entered his Physical Body like a trickling stream, flowing through Lu Yuan's limbs and bones.
It nourished his Physical Body, cleansed every inch of his flesh and blood, and strengthened his physique!
Half an hour later.
Lu Yuan stopped and frowned.
Although the Heavenly Essence Qi here was abundant, Cultivating in a conventional manner was still very slow.
A day's time would likely only allow him to barely advance one minor Realm.
This was not the result Lu Yuan desired.
"Forget it, I won't worry about it anymore, I'll just start devouring!"
"In this world, there are countless overbearing Qi Gathering Cultivation Techniques."
"Perhaps no one will link it to the Chaotic Body!"
Lu Yuan cast aside all distracting thoughts, his mind sinking, and immediately activated the Chaotic Origin within his Physical Body.
In his Bitter Sea, a black Cave slowly rose, rapidly rotated, and vibrated intensely!
In an instant, an astonishing anomaly occurred in the area!
Centered around Lu Yuan, surges of majestic Heavenly Essence Qi began to madly converge towards him.
The initially pale yellow essence energy actually deepened at a visible rate!
Finally, it transformed into streaks of almost solidified golden torrents, sweeping over!
"Hm? What is this?!"
At this moment, many of the surrounding Outer Sect Disciples noticed something unusual.
They simultaneously opened their eyes and looked in the same direction.
"Hiss! What an overbearing Qi Gathering Cultivation Technique!"
"I've never seen such a devouring speed before!"
"Its grade is definitely not low, far exceeding the scope of what ordinary Outer Sect Disciples can Cultivate!"
Someone gasped, a hint of shock appearing in their eyes.
"Hmph, he must be a greenhorn who just joined the sect!"
"Daring to plunder Heavenly Essence Qi like this in Yunlong Stream, isn't he afraid of bursting his Physical Body?"
Not far away, a young man in a green robe snorted disdainfully.
He quickly withdrew his gaze and continued to meditate and Cultivate, ignoring it.
Among the Outer Sect Disciples of Wan Chu Holy Land, there were quite a few who came from Cultivator families with impressive backgrounds.
Therefore, possessing a high-grade Qi Gathering Cultivation Technique was not uncommon.
However, the Heavenly Essence Qi emanating from the underground Dragon Veins, though rich, was ultimately not the pure energy sealed within Origin Stones, and it remained incredibly volatile.
Cultivators needed to refine it layer by layer after absorbing it into their Physical Body before it could be used.
Yet that person, whose cultivation seemed not high, dared to devour so much energy at once.
It was unclear whether he was bold due to his skill or simply overeager and his mind was clouded.
But it was most likely the latter.
After all, Outer Sect Disciples could only Cultivate in Yunlong Stream for one day a month, and time was incredibly precious.
There were always many people with such intentions!
...
"Half an incense stick of time has passed!"
"Still absorbing!"
"Is he trying to die?!"
Some Outer Sect Disciples' eyes were wide open, watching in fascination.
"Forget it, don't mind him."
"Time is precious, hurry up and Cultivate."
"Oh right, I should stay away from that kid, lest he explodes later and splashes blood all over me!"
Someone sneered gloatingly, quickly got up, and moved to a farther spot to sit down.
...
At this moment, Lu Yuan sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, like an old monk in meditation, unmoving.
The surging Heavenly Essence Qi that entered his Physical Body barely caused a ripple before it was forcefully suppressed by the Chaotic Origin.
Countless strands of Chaos Qi washed over it, instantly transforming it into gentle and pure Heavenly energy, which he quickly absorbed!
This was the great advantage of the Chaotic Body in Cultivation!
It melted the essence of all directions for its own use!
Incredibly overbearing!
...
Time continued to pass.
One day would soon be over.
Every minute, every second.
Lu Yuan's cultivation was climbing.
Bitter Sea Realm First Heaven...
Bitter Sea Realm Second Heaven...
Bitter Sea Realm Third Heaven...
Angry waves surged, and lightning intertwined.
Lu Yuan's Bitter Sea glittered with golden light, and intricate Divine patterns were condensed.
At the same time, his Physical Body was nourished in all aspects.
Surging Divine radiance emanated from his flesh and blood, constantly strengthening his physique!
His internal organs, bones, and Meridians all underwent a qualitative leap, becoming incredibly tough and immensely powerful!
And as Lu Yuan devoured madly, the surrounding free-floating Heavenly Essence Qi also thinned at a visible rate!
At first, no one paid much attention.
But later, more and more people felt something was amiss.
Suddenly opening their eyes, they found that the person Cultivating the high-grade Qi Gathering Cultivation Technique had not stopped yet.
His Physical Body was like a bottomless pit, still continuously plundering Heavenly energy!
"Damn it, he's a madman!"
"A freak!!"
Many Outer Sect Disciples cursed under their breath, then hurriedly got up and retreated from that area.
They ran far away, as if avoiding a plague god.
However, this action also angered some people.
Unfriendly gazes swept across Lu Yuan's face one after another, as if they wanted to remember him well and settle scores after leaving Yunlong Stream!
But the young man in the green robe had not left this area.
It seemed he was unwilling to show weakness and completely competed with Lu Yuan.
He also activated an impressive Qi Gathering Cultivation Technique, fiercely contending with Lu Yuan for Heavenly Essence Qi.
But... the outcome was predictable.
Not to mention being evenly matched, under Lu Yuan's overbearing plunder, it was extremely difficult to even get a sip of the soup!
"This is outrageous!!"
The young man was furious, his face ashen, and he suddenly stood up.
His two fingers instantly came together, glowing with specks of Divine light, and he slashed towards Lu Yuan not far away!
Chii!
A sharp beam of light, like lightning, flew over, incredibly fast and astonishingly lethal!
And just then, Lu Yuan sensed it, suddenly opened his eyes, clenched his fist, and smashed it down!
