Chapter 555

Konghai Mountain was known as a treasure mountain not only because of the Konghai Holy Liquid.

The heaven and earth energy in Konghai Mountain was extremely concentrated. The higher one went, the higher the concentration.

For example, Chen Yu was currently at the end of the fourth stage and before the fifth stage. The nearby cultivation abodes were much better than the Silver Emblem Sacred Guard's cultivation abode.

Chen Yu found a secluded abode and entered it. He then closed the door and started cultivating.

"The fifth stage is more difficult. Even those Gold Emblem Sacred Guards who just broke through might not be able to pass it. If I encounter any external disturbances that I am not good at, then I will definitely fail."

Chen Yu murmured.

If his cultivation level broke through to the peak of the intermediate stage of the Origin Realm, then Chen Yu would have a higher chance of passing the fifth stage.

Chen Yu took out a wine cup from the [Mist Spitting Pearl]. Inside was the first-grade Konghai Holy Liquid.

The Konghai Holy Liquid was made from the qi of a Void Sea Realm expert and eighteen types of treasures. It had many miraculous effects, the most important of which was to increase the cultivation speed of an Origin Realm cultivator and condense qi.

Gulp!

Chen Yu drank the first-grade Konghai Holy Liquid in a single gulp.

He instantly felt a clear flow of energy spreading through his body, making him feel extremely comfortable.

This holy liquid was quite beneficial to the Copper Emblem Sacred Guard.

Chen Yu might be a Silver Emblem Sacred Guard, but he was only at the intermediate stage of the Origin Realm. His cultivation level was rather low. Hence, this first-grade Konghai Holy Liquid was quite beneficial to him.

Circulating the technique in the [Records of the Sky Demon Secret Patterns], Chen Yu started to absorb the energy from the first-grade Konghai Holy Liquid.

The herbs in the Empty Sea Holy Liquid could increase one's cultivation speed, while the Empty Sea Realm's qi could be used to condense the qi of an Origin Realm cultivator, making their cultivation more stable and making it easier for them to break through to the next realm.

Also, consuming this holy liquid to increase one's cultivation level had minimal side effects.

Weng!

A suction force was emitted from his heart. The medicinal effects of the Clear Qi Elixir flowed into his meridians.

Three days later, Chen Yu opened his eyes.

"I saved about four months of cultivation."

Chen Yu was overjoyed.

According to the other saint guards, this first-grade Empty Sea Saint Liquid was rather effective for intermediate stage Origin Realm cultivators. It was equivalent to two to three months of bitter cultivation.

However, Chen Yu possessed a mysterious heart and a unique physique. His ability to absorb medicinal energy from external sources could be said to be flawless. He did not waste any of it, making full use of it.

Therefore, the effects of the Empty Sea Holy Liquid were much better than the others.

Then, he took out the second-grade Konghai Holy Liquid.

The second-grade Konghai Holy Liquid was even more effective.

After consuming it, Chen Yu completely absorbed it within six days. He felt that he had saved about eight months of hard work.

The third-grade Konghai Holy Liquid corresponded to cultivators at the Silver Emblem Holy Guard level.

Chen Yu's cultivation level was low, so the medicine's effects were astonishing. After taking it and absorbing it, it was equivalent to saving him more than a year of bitter cultivation.

This speed of improvement made Chen Yu wild with joy.

Unfortunately, after the opening of Konghai Mountain, each person could only attempt it once. With the Elders watching over them, they could not take more than one.

"The last cup of Konghai Holy Liquid."

Chen Yu stared at the clear blue liquid in the cup. A faint blue smoke floated out.

This was the fourth-grade Konghai Holy Liquid. Its effects should be even better.

However, after taking three cups of Konghai Holy Liquid, Chen Yu decided to wait for a while.

He walked out of the cave abode and went outside to see what was going on.

At this time, Deng Kuan, Qian Guang, and the others had already passed the fourth round and were waiting for the fifth round.

Other than them, there were a few more Silver Emblem Holy Guards who had passed the fourth round.

Among them were Li Xiaoyun from the Crimson Sky Nation and two top elites from the Barbarian Rong Nation. As for the Yun Zhao Nation, Yun Yingwu, Ye Chengfeng, and Situ Linyu had already passed.

"This fifth round is too difficult. If you don't have the strength of a Golden Emblem Holy Guard, there's basically no need to try."

The dark-skinned man from the Barbarian Rong Nation said.

"Chen Yu, your aura has become much stronger. Looks like you've taken the Konghai Holy Liquid. Are you going to try the fifth round?" Ye Chengfeng asked.

"That's my plan."

"Hahaha, you Silver Emblem Holy Guards want to challenge the fifth round?"

A Golden Emblem Holy Guard laughed.

As a Golden Emblem Holy Guard, he had not even passed the fifth round. Hearing the Silver Emblem Holy Guards behind him, he could not help but mock them.

"Haha, be careful, or you'll be killed by the guardian."

The Golden Emblem Holy Guards laughed.

Some of the Silver Emblem Holy Guards were instantly enraged, but they did not argue with the Golden Emblem Holy Guard.

The other party's position was high, and they were powerful. There was no way they could win an argument.

"Brother Kong, don't look down on these Silver Emblem Holy Guards. Previously, the number one Silver Emblem Holy Guard had passed the fourth round in seventy moves. He said he would definitely pass the fifth round."

Deng Kuan said again when he saw Chen Yu.

Previously, he had wanted to "kill" Chen Yu by praising him. Not only did he not succeed, he even praised Chen Yu.

This made Deng Kuan very unwilling. He did not believe that Chen Yu would succeed this time.

"Passing the fourth round in seventy moves. He is indeed a strong person. However, a mere Silver Emblem Holy Guard wants to pass the fifth round? Wishful thinking!"

The man surnamed Kong knew what Deng Kuan meant and cooperated with him.

"Brother Chen, I believe you can do it."

At this time, Qian Guang looked at Chen Yu.

Previously, everyone was just discussing and did not know who that person was. But now, everyone knew.

Even Deng Kuan could not help but admire Qian Guang's assistance.

After this matter spread, if Chen Yu was too mediocre when he passed the fifth round, it would only attract more mockery.

"This guy."

Chen Yu stared at Deng Kuan.

This person was really despicable and shameless. He actually used the same trick a second time.

Chen Yu immediately left and returned to his cave dwelling.

"Hahaha."

Deng Kuan saw Chen Yu leave in anger and could not help but reveal a proud smile.

Inside the cave dwelling, Chen Yu took out the Moon Spirit Mineral mother and cleansed his soul. He also circulated the Heaven's Heart to increase his mental energy.

At the same time, his spiritual sense entered the jade pendant he wore.

Buzz!

A pure white holy radiance enveloped Chen Yu's body, giving him a warm feeling like he was bathing in a hot spring.

Chen Yu's pores relaxed and his spiritual sense felt refreshed.

His body and the source deep inside his body were cleansed.

After a while, the pure white holy radiance dissipated.

The qi in Chen Yu's body became even purer. The side effects from consuming the three cups of Empty Sea Holy Liquid had all disappeared.

One day later, Chen Yu kept the Moon Spirit Mineral mother and took out the fourth cup of Empty Sea Holy Liquid.

After consuming it, Chen Yu entered a cultivation state.

The medicinal effects of the grade-9 Empty Sea Holy Liquid was very strong. Chen Yu felt as if there was a refreshing current running through his body, pushing his qi to circulate smoothly.

Also, Chen Yu tried to breakthrough to the peak of the middle stage of the Origin Returning Realm …

Half a month later, the powerful demonic aura around Chen Yu gradually dissipated.

He had completely absorbed the grade-9 Empty Sea Holy Liquid. The effect was equivalent to saving him two and a half years of cultivation.

"I didn't manage to breakthrough to the peak of the middle stage of the Origin Returning Realm …"

Chen Yu sighed.

Although he didn't breakthrough, he wasn't discouraged. Chen Yu felt that he was very close to the peak of the middle stage of the Origin Returning Realm.

At this moment, Chen Yu took out a white elixir. It was the Flesh Bone Growing Elixir that the Blood Lotus Saint gave him.

This elixir had two main effects. Firstly, it had amazing healing ability. Secondly, it could strengthen one's flesh and bones, increasing one's vitality.

"After consuming this elixir, my Secret Pattern Demonic Body will reach the peak of the middle stage of the Origin Returning Realm. It will be easier for me to breakthrough after that."

After consuming the Flesh Bone Growing Elixir, Chen Yu circulated the body refinement technique in the Sky Demon Secret Pattern Record.

Instantly, he activated the Secret Pattern Demonic Body. His body shone with black light. Many ancient inscriptions and evil demonic patterns could be vaguely seen on his skin.

As Chen Yu expected, after he completely absorbed the elixir, his Secret Pattern Demonic Body improved by one level and reached the peak of the middle stage of the Origin Returning Realm.

He went into seclusion again.

In less than a month, Chen Yu broke through to the peak of the middle stage of the Origin Returning Realm!

The dense heaven and earth energy in the surroundings surged towards Chen Yu's body.

The demonic patterns in his True Essence Lake expanded again.

After advancing, Chen Yu's demonic patterns were even stronger than a regular late stage Origin Returning Realm cultivator's qi!

After consolidating for two months, Chen Yu came out of seclusion.

He had already planned to challenge the fifth stage after he broke through to the peak of the middle stage of the Origin Returning Realm.

He was determined to pass the fifth stage and wouldn't allow himself to fail.

When Chen Yu walked out of the cave abode, it was night time.

At this moment, there was only one person challenging the fifth stage among the three ancient temples.

There were a few spectators outside, but most of them were in seclusion to increase their strength.

Deng! Deng!

Chen Yu took two consecutive steps.

On the road to the fifth stage, the heaven and earth aura was even more terrifying.

Many people walked to the ancient temples and were probably exhausted.

It was said that the reason why Mt. Konghai had such a powerful heaven and earth aura was because of the extraordinary mountain, the effectiveness of the array, and the fact that this Mt. Konghai was the burial ground of the sacred land's Void Sea Realm experts.

A hundred years after the death of a Void Sea Realm expert, the corpse wouldn't decompose and the aura would spread in all directions, intimidating other living beings.

With Chen Yu's powerful physique, it wasn't a problem to resist the aura. But his spiritual power was only at the late stage of the Origin Returning Realm and wasn't as relaxed as his body.

"Eh? That kid doesn't seem to have a high cultivation level. He is only at the peak of the middle stage of the Origin Returning Realm. "

"Peak of the middle stage. He should be a Silver Emblem Sacred Guard. He actually dares to challenge the fifth stage. He is really seeking death."

During the night, a few people noticed Chen Yu and started discussing.

"I remember now. This person seems to be the number one Silver Emblem Sacred Guard. He even said that he would definitely pass the fifth stage." A girl stared at Chen Yu and suddenly said.

"Hahaha, that kid is just bragging to boost his reputation. How can he pass the fifth stage?"

Meanwhile, Chen Yu turned a deaf ear to the discussions happening around him.

He focused his mind and quickly climbed the mountain. Finally, he arrived at the ancient temple of the fifth stage.

After taking a deep breath, Chen Yu stepped into the temple.

In a split second, the ancient temple's array revolved. An ordinary looking man slowly materialized, emitting a powerful aura.

Chen Yu felt as if there was a Gold Emblem Sacred Guard standing in front of him.

But he had fought with the Gold Emblem Sacred Guard, Zou Yuhong before. He wasn't afraid. Furthermore, his cultivation level had increased.

At the same time, a strange force field was emitted from the ancient temple, causing Chen Yu's body to sink.

For the fifth stage, Chen Yu randomly encountered the Gravity Disruption.
