I Can Accumulate Proficiency, Starting from Alchemy

At this exact moment.

The Evil God Mountain smashed directly into Star Island, with lights colliding. The Stars Array and the Ten Directions Heavenly Evil Formation of the Evil God Mountain clashed fiercely. However, the Stars Array had just consumed its energy to form the Sunshooting Immortal Arrow, which killed the Blood Thunder Wolf and the Soul-Devouring Python. The difference was now prominent, the Ten Directions Heavenly Evil Formation broke the Stars Array, and the Evil God Mountain smashed onto the Immortal Island.

Boundless destruction instantly descended upon Star Island, of which two-thirds remained and which was comparable to a land of Immortal Path, plummeted abruptly.

Deep within the Stars Sea, countless Immortal Boats were escaping, carrying the formidable aura of the Sunshooting Immortal Bow.

The descending Evil God Mountain, after shattering the holy land of the Stars Sea, fell directly in a shallow area of the Eastern Sea. Landing there, it stirred up waves thousands of feet high. The shallow sea only submerged less than a tenth of the height of the Evil God Mountain.

The Evil God Mountain stood strong by the Eastern Sea.

Moreover, during this battle, other members of the Evil Clan did not pursue. They landed on the Evil God Mountain while a Taoist, who radiated monstrous demonic aura all over the sky, emerged from it and rose to the high skies. This Taoist reached into the area where the Lord Stars and the Soul-Devouring Python had perished, bringing his hands out to the multicoloured Spirit Pearl hovering above, which suddenly calmed down and was stored in his sleeve.

Following this.

The Taoist extended his arm and pressed it into the void, right into the stormy area of spiritual energy. This area, filled with countless minute flesh and blood residues, bones, shattered souls, and broken spirits began converging in the middle.

In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

The Soul-Devouring Python, which had originally been blasted into pieces, reappeared in the area once more.

Subsequently, this Soul-Devouring Python charged towards the Taoist, merging into his body like a drop of water falling into the ocean.

The next instant.

Bang.

The Taoist transformed, revealing his true form.

It was a dark gold python, close to three thousand feet long. Each scale of the python was shimmering with mysterious runes. Even a true monarch would consider each scale a treasure.

“I’ve finally waited till now.”

“After opening the passage between the two realms completely and guiding the returning Kunpeng Patriarch, not only the Yu Heng World, but the entire Beidou Region will be under the reign of my Evil Clan.”

The dark gold python, filled with exhilaration, roared towards the heavens. The roar shook the heavens and the earth, triggering the demonic aura of the entire Evil God Mountain to surge skyward.

Even Han Yi, who had fled tens of thousands of miles away, displayed a slight change in his expression. Although he hadn’t seen the bizarre resurrection of the Soul-Devouring Python or its assimilation into the gigantic Dark Gold Python within the Evil God Mountain, he could sense such a formidable aura from such a great distance. The god-like aura of this new Evil God far surpassed that of any ordinary Spirit Transformation stage cultivator.

Half-immortal.

This was a Half-immortal.

No, that’s not right.

To the best of Han Yi’s knowledge, there were no Half-immortals in the entire Yu Heng World. Even the most powerful Daqin Emperor, reputedly the number one in the Yu Heng World, was a Spirit Transformation expert, barely below a Half-Immortal. If the Evil Clan that emerged was truly a Half-immortal, it could easily annihilate the Stars Sea, and even the entire Yu Heng World, without such effort. So why bother?

Now, Han Yi had a greater understanding of the realms in the Cultivation World. He originally thought that Immortals came after the Spirit Transformation stage, with the most powerful Spirit Transformation cultivators referred to as Half-immortals.

This understanding was formed soon after his entry into the Cultivation World, with his limited knowledge and experience at the time.

However.

Having progressed to the Golden Core stage, accessing the memories of Bao Zhe Sheng and Zhang Tu, making a trip to the void in search of immortality, and embarking on a journey to the Eternal Rest Immortal City, Han Yi now had a correct understanding of the division of realms.

In the Cultivation World, Half-immortal was not a term used to describe the peak of the Spirit Transformation stage; it was a real stage in itself.

If a Spirit Transformation stage cultivator formed a complete Immortal Path, they could be called a Half-immortal. A Half-immortal who had formed a complete Immortal Path and survived the Immortal Tribulation was a true Immortal.

Of course, there was a huge difference in strength between Half-immortals, depending primarily on the strength of the Immortal Path formed and the number of such paths.

For example, the ancient Human Emperor formed the Human Emperor Immortal Path which ranked among the top ten Immortal Paths. With just this path, he could be at the pinnacle of the Half-immortals.

However, the difficulty of this Immortal Path also ranked among the top.

As for the cultivators who used powerful methods to form their Immortal Path, although they faced less difficulty, they were also limited by their upper limit. Hence, to get stronger, they continually practiced other methods to form multiple Immortal Paths, aiming to triumph through numbers.

As for the true Immortals who were above the Half-immortals, there hadn’t been any in the Yu Heng World after the ancient times.

Because the Immortal Tribulation had disappeared.

To be precise, the tribulations encountered by cultivators during the advancement towards the Nascent Soul and Spirit Transformation stages were known as Heavenly Tribulations, and they were stimulated by the inherent origin of each Cultivation World.

If one wished to become immortal, they had to pass through the Immortal Tribulation. This Immortal Tribulation was stimulated by the Immortal Realm above the Beidou Region, the Daluo Immortal Realm. But in the late ancient period, the Daluo Immortal Realm was shattered, and even the Immortal Tribulation had disappeared. Hence, no one had become immortal in the Beidou Region since the ancient times.

With thoughts flashing in his mind, Han Yi was already fleeing. Half a day later, by a lucky coincidence, he bumped into Zhuge Wu You and his team who had come to assist.

Han Yi flew into the Immortal Boat, and the boat immediately turned around and fled towards the Xuandan Sect at an even faster speed.

On the boat, after Han Yi explained everything, everyone was shocked.

“So, you’re saying that the Stars Sea is completely destroyed?”

Zhuge Wu You still found it somewhat hard to believe.

A holy land that had existed for tens of thousands of years had been destroyed overnight. Three powerful Spirit Transformation stage experts had resided inside the holy land. Only Lord Seven Killings managed to escape with severe injuries. Although he took the Sunshooting Immortal Bow, an artifact of the holy land, his weakened state made the Half-Immortal item more of a cause for calamity than a treasure.

Han Yi nodded gravely. Halfway through his journey, he had taken a Pill. His injuries were not severe to start with, and he had replenished his physical and divine soul power, restoring his combat prowess. As for the injuries on his hands, they were only superficial and would soon heal.

“Yes, that’s right. Moreover, after the appearance of the Evil God Mountain, the final demonic aura exceeded the range of the Spirit Transformation stage, causing changes in the heavenly and earthly elements, which doesn’t bode well.”

“The owner of that aura is dangerously close to the Half-Immortal stage,”

said Han Yi solemnly. Everyone fell silent. After a long while, Lian Tingxi asked a question, his voice filled with confusion.

“With the Stars Sea destroyed and a Spirit Transformation Peak being nearly a Half-immortal emerging from the Evil God Mountain, doesn’t that mean that Daqian is in danger? And where should our Xuandan Sect go?”

This was not just his question, but the question of all the Supreme Elders of the Xuandan Sect present.

Han Yi remained silent. Because he had no answer.
