CHAPTER 1307: CHAPTER 1307: FOUR DIVINE CORE FLOWERS

Jing Yan gently raised his head, his gaze fixed upwards.

"Has Chen Tongyue already ascended the seventh Immortal Bridge?" Jing Yan squinted his eyes, thinking to himself, "I wonder, to which bridge Chen Tongyue’s Divine Power can meet the entry standard. The fifth, or the sixth?"

Chen Tongyue’s Divine Power was among the top tier of the Nine Tripods Main Gods. Even if he wasn’t equal to the Solo Domain Lord or the Jiumo Main God, he wasn’t far behind, at least at the level of Gao Jufan, or possibly even a bit stronger. As for Jing Yan, in terms of Divine Power, he was naturally lacking compared to Chen Tongyue, Zhan Fei, and Hu Lin.

But it didn’t matter; he could give birth to four or even five Divine Core Flowers on the Immortal Bridge.

Enhancing his strength on the Immortal Bridge could allow him to ascend higher bridges, and ascending higher bridges could further enhance his strength. This was a positive cycle.

Jing Yan cultivated for seven years on the fourth Immortal Bridge.

Releasing the Sword Intent Domain, he easily ascended the fifth Immortal Bridge. Jing Yan cultivated for eight years on the fifth Immortal Bridge.

On the sixth Immortal Bridge, Jing Yan cultivated for more than nine years. If not for the time approaching ten years, he would’ve stayed longer on the sixth Immortal Bridge. Because the Tao Aura of the sixth Immortal Bridge was so beneficial for his cultivation that it couldn’t be completed in just ten years.

Jing Yan completely relied on his Divine Power realm to ascend the first to the third Immortal Bridge. For the fourth to the sixth Immortal Bridge, he easily ascended using the Sword Intent Domain.

Upon reaching the seventh Immortal Bridge, Jing Yan’s Sword Intent Domain could no longer dispel the resistance of the bridge, so he smoothly released the Void Realm, easily ascending the seventh Immortal Bridge.

At this time, among the fifty Martial Artists ascending the Immortal Bridge, many were still lingering on the sixth Immortal Bridge.

Some martial artists, whose ten-year period on the sixth Immortal Bridge was about to end, were struggling to rush to the seventh Immortal Bridge. But despite all efforts, they were unable to ascend the seventh Immortal Bridge.

Such martial artists were relatively weaker Three-Flower Main Gods.

With their Divine Power realms, the weaker Three-Flower Main Gods could only ascend the first two Immortal Bridges. Although they shared the same realm as Jing Yan, their Divine Power and Divine Soul Strength were far less than Jing Yan’s. They couldn’t rely on their Divine Power to ascend the first three Immortal Bridges.

In other words, after two bridges, they had to rely on Super Divine Ability to continue climbing.

For example, using Domain Power carried by Acquired Spiritual Treasures did not assist in ascending the Immortal Bridge. The rules of the Immortal Bridge perfectly distinguished whether the Domain Power was self-mastered by the Martial Artist or relied on such external forces as Acquired Spiritual Treasures.

Not everyone, however, could master three types of Super Divine Ability like Jing Yan. So, for many Three-Flower Main Gods, the sixth Immortal Bridge was already the limit.

Jing Yan witnessed a Three-Flower Main God desperately trying to ascend the seventh Immortal Bridge but was firmly blocked outside by the bridge, eventually disappearing into the void and reappearing on the stage.

Returning to the stage meant the martial artist’s journey on the Immortal Bridge had ended.

Among the fifty Martial Artists ascending the Immortal Bridge, six ended their journey on the sixth Immortal Bridge. Only forty-four could ascend the seventh Immortal Bridge.

After cultivating for over nine years on the seventh Immortal Bridge, Jing Yan stood up, preparing to rush to the eighth when Chen Tongyue was already flying towards the tenth Immortal Bridge.

Zhan Fei and Hu Lin were cultivating on the ninth Immortal Bridge. The remaining nineteen Nine Tripods Main Gods were all on the eighth Immortal Bridge.

Starting from the seventh Immortal Bridge, these Nine Tripods Main Gods clearly cultivated for the full ten years before ascending to the next Immortal Bridge.

Using the Void Realm, Jing Yan ascended to the eighth Immortal Bridge and continued to cultivate.

In the fourth year of cultivating on the eighth Immortal Bridge, Jing Yan successfully gave birth to the fourth Divine Core Flower. Though still a Tri-Floral Main God, his strength was incomparable to before.

In the remaining years on the eighth Immortal Bridge, Jing Yan primarily focused on consolidating the newly-born fourth Divine Core Flower, establishing stable and smooth connections among the four.

"My Divine Power realm and Divine Soul Strength have both improved. I wonder if I can ascend the ninth Immortal Bridge with this." As the time approached, Jing Yan stood up and pondered.

"Woosh!" Jing Yan rushed towards the ninth Immortal Bridge.

Resistance came as expected, and Jing Yan fully unleashed his Divine Power.

"Buzz!" The resistance ebbed away like a tide, and Jing Yan easily ascended the ninth Immortal Bridge.

A hint of joy appeared on Jing Yan’s face.

"As I imagined, progressing on the Immortal Bridge allows you to climb higher-level Immortal Bridges." Jing Yan gazed at the figure of Chen Tongyue on the eleventh Immortal Bridge.

"Perhaps, I can ultimately climb higher than him!" Jing Yan thought with some anticipation.

Before ascending the Immortal Bridge, Jing Yan had some such thoughts. At that time, however, he didn’t have a lot of confidence.

Chen Tongyue lasted over two hundred and eighty breaths in the Red Demon Array, showcasing incredibly strong cultivation power. Jing Yan didn’t know how many Super Divine Abilities Chen Tongyue mastered, but it was certain it wouldn’t be less than his.

After all, Chen Tongyue’s cultivation duration was something Jing Yan couldn’t compare to.

Although mastering Divine Skills doesn’t come randomly, and it’s not guaranteed that longer meditation would lead to comprehension, longer training undoubtedly had more advantages than shorter training sessions.

In the God Realm, some Nine Tripods Main Gods who lived for billions of years could even master over ten Divine Skills. Of course, these mastered skills are likely mostly ordinary Divine Skills, not necessarily Super Divine Abilities.

Just like mastering Sharp Gold or Red Flame Divine Ability, evolving them into Super Divine Abilities is as challenging as comprehending a new Divine Skill.

Over nine years passed, and Jing Yan ascended the tenth Immortal Bridge using the Void Realm. He attempted to use the Divine Power realm but failed, so he had to continue using the Void Realm.

By this time, only twenty-five Martial Artists were left on the Immortal Bridges. Twenty-two Nine Tripods Main Gods remained, but among the Three-Flower Main Gods, Jing Yan was one of only three left. Besides Jing Yan, the other two Three-Flower Main Gods were of the top tier, having birthed four Divine Core Flowers early on and mastered over two Super Divine Abilities.

"Yan Jin has already ascended the tenth Immortal Bridge." Kuai Rong watched Jing Yan sitting cross-legged on the tenth Immortal Bridge.

"He can at least ascend three more bridges." Sun Zhao nodded in agreement.
