I Can Accumulate Proficiency, Starting from Alchemy

Feng Jingyu’s explanation, after all, is only verbal and slightly pale.

Only after stepping into the Taixu Illusionary Realm does Han Yi truly feel the way he will enter the Cave Heaven.

Years ago, during the first Cave Heaven trial, he heard a rumor that cultivators who entered the Cave Heaven possessed an immortal body, and all hundred disciples who initially embarked on the journey returned to the sect safe and sound, indicating that the Cave Heaven trial is not dangerous.

In reality, this is indeed the case.

The Taixu Illusionary Realm is located within Yujing Lake, and it connects with Facing Reality Heavenly Realm, so Yujing Lake is essentially the entrance to the Cave Heaven.

And Yujing Lake, located within the sacred grounds of Yujing Mountain, holds a special status. Around it, there must be many high-level cultivators sitting in town. It seemed that their landing was unhindered, but in reality, they must have been under countless people’s watchful eyes.

The requirement to enter the Taixu Illusionary Realm is to be a cultivator with the Facing Reality Imprint.

In essence, what the Xuandan Sect purchases from Yujing Mountain for the trial quota is the Facing Reality Imprint.

Once one enters the Taixu Illusionary Realm, the Facing Reality Imprint will create a body identical to the host’s, with identical Spiritual Roots, identical magic powers, and even identical skills.

This body is the Taixu Body.

The host can transfer his divine soul into the Taixu Body, and then officially enter the Cave Heaven through the gate of light in the Taixu Illusionary Realm.

If one dies in the Cave Heaven, only the Taixu Body will perish, the divine soul will not be annihilated. Instead, it returns to the Taixu Illusionary Realm and creates a new Taixu Body.

That is to say, during the validity of the Facing Reality Imprint, the Taixu Body can be infinitely produced, meaning that in the Cave Heaven trial, they possess an immortal body.

Once the validity of the imprint expires, the Facing Reality Imprint disappears, the Taixu Body naturally no longer exists, and the host’s original body will be expelled from the Taixu Illusionary Realm, returning to the shore of Yujing Lake.

This is the truth of immortality in the Cave Heaven trial.

Understanding the reasons, Han Yi had a thought in his heart and suddenly found his sight change. What he saw was himself, bound by the Shadow Bearing Sword. The original body stood silently in front of him, as if time and space around it had frozen. The eyes were open wide, yet showed no life.

Han Yi felt an inexplicable creepiness.

With a thought, he returned to his original body, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and then fused back into the Taixu Body. He didn’t immediately step into the gate of light but had a thought and tried to summon the Proficiency Panel.

The next moment, a faint red panel appeared with a swish, eliciting a hint of surprise on the face of the Taixu Body.

“The Proficiency Panel can actually appear on the Taixu Body.”

“This indicates two things. The first is that my Golden Finger is more advanced than the Taixu Illusionary Realm; that’s why it can reveal itself instead of being overridden by the rules of the Taixu Illusionary Realm.”

“The second is that the Proficiency Panel is bound to my divine soul, not the body.”

With a flash in his eyes, Han Yi drew these two conclusions and no longer hesitated. He turned around and stepped into the gate of light.

His sight changed once more, and when it reappeared.

Bang!!

A black shadow came straight at him, striking him in the face, followed by a minor crackling sound and a burst of intense pain.

His nose was broken.

A chill coursed through Han Yi’s heart as he retreated explosively. Before he could make out what the black shadow that had broken his nose was, he felt a terrifying pressure coming from behind.

His whole body’s magic power surged, a Wind Wall Skill already appearing behind him.

Bang.

The Wind Wall Skill shattered in an instant, turning into a wild wind.

But with this short buffer, Han Yi was able to compose his magic skill.

A Fire Shield Skill fully formed, standing in front of him as he turned around.

The black shadow that had broken his nose and shattered his Wind Wall Skill hit the flame shield head-on.

The shield shattered, flames scattered, and the black shadow was repelled back seven or eight meters, knocking over a stone house. In less than a moment, it staggered back up, roaring out loud.

The sound was like a beast, and a foul smell swept over from a few dozen meters away.

Meanwhile, Han Yi, taking advantage of the repelled black shadow, took a quick glance around him. He got a general idea of the surrounding scene.

This place had become a battlefield.

Turning back, Han Yi finally got a clear look at the black shadow that had broken his nose – it was a Demon from the Demon Clan, standing as tall as three meters, with a body completely black.

Although he was prepared for the possibility of encountering members of the Evil Clan, Demon Clan, Wing Clan, and Shadow Clan in the Cave Heaven world, bumping into a member of the Demon Clan as soon as he entered still made his heart skip a beat. He felt that something was off.

Wasn’t it said that upon entering the Cave Heaven world, there would be guidance and one would naturally know what to do?

At the moment, however, there was no room for him to keep pondering these matters, as his gaze was firmly fixed on the Demon Clan member before him.

“Black Demon Clan?”

He had read about this type of demon in books at the Scripture Collection Pavilion.

Unlike the Facing Reality Heavenly Realm, Yu Heng World in ancient times was filled with a multitude of races – humans, divines, evils, spirits, demons…

Unlike how humans train magic strength and evil clan cultivates evil power, demons practice their body enhancement.

In fact, the earliest bodily cultivation practice among humans was once modelled after demons.

Now,

Innumerable pitch-black demons in the surrounding area are fighting with cultivators who continuously appeared out of thin air. Or more precisely, countless cultivators are besieging this demon clan settlement.

Han Yi turned around, looking ahead.

Clang!

A flickering golden blade aura was deflected by the Fire Shield Skill, and the Black Demon, whose body was abruptly decapitated, instantly fell down with a crash. Its enormous structure stood three-meters tall.

A young cultivator zoomed past quickly, his golden long knife in hand, its speed as fast as lightning, rushing deep into it.

Next moment, the young cultivator confronted a Black Demon who was over four meters tall.

A gust of wind swept past. Han Yi just felt a flash of black light, and the knife-wielding cultivator was slapped away. The golden blade light that had just lit up in his hand also extinguished right on the spot under the strike.

Han Yi was taken aback, stepping back a few paces.

The gigantic black demon roared up to the sky, and at this moment, a blue light flashed by, sending its head skyrocketing into the air.

The blue light was a sword. It was a sword that was hopping and flickering, emitting a blue light. Despite the distance, Han Yi could sense an exhilarating fighter’s spirit from the sword.

This was a Spirit Sword.

Han Yi looked along the sword and saw a stern cultivator stepping on another Spirit Sword, floating in the air. With a light wave of his hand, he called back the Spirit Sword that had killed the Black Demon to his side.

Sword Immortal!

Han Yi was deeply stirred in his inner heart.

The Sword Immortal, standing on the spirit sword, cast a glance down. His eyes were as sharp as a sword. The void suddenly brightened, then he withdrew his gaze, and the Spirit Sword sped away through the air.

“I’ve actually encountered a Sword Immortal.”

“However, isn’t it said that it’s best not to bring any magical weapons? This Sword Immortal is actually carrying two Spirit Swords.”

“Does this mean that these two Spirit Swords aren’t important? Or does this Sword Immortal think that his own strength is high-end enough to not take his possible death in Cave Heaven into account?”

Han Yi faintly felt that both those points were not accurate.

The surrounding cultivators either got killed or killed the Black Demons. Those who killed the Black Demons, their faces filled with excitement, zipped quickly towards the deeper parts.

Han Yi looked up and saw a light pillar shooting into the sky, standing tall and unyielding, in the direction where numerous cultivators, including the prior Sword Immortal, had gone.

“A light pillar? Could that be the Taixu Order?”

“The only thing that could excite these cultivators so much should be the Taixu Order.”

When Han Yi learned from Feng Jingyu that the Taixu Order could be exchanged for spiritual items, some of which could even enhance one’s spiritual root, he made up his mind to go all out this time.

Although he has improved his qualifications with the Blood Bone Spirit Flower, he is only equivalent to an ordinary inner door disciple like Luo Yunzhou under normal circumstances. It is not difficult to cultivate to the Qi Cultivation Peak, and there is a high probability of even reaching the Foundation Establishment stage. However, after the fluke advancement to the Foundation Establishment stage, it would be very difficult to advance further due to the influence of the root bone.

On the way, he also encountered a Black Demon. This one, like earlier, stood over three meters tall.

Han Yi thought, and opened a flaming shield. The Black Demon punched the shield, breaking it and recoiling three meters back.

“Both tests are the same, so these three-meter-tall Black Demons’ attacks are equivalent to that of a ninth-level senior cultivator.”

“Let’s see how well they defend.”

Han Yi moved his fingers together, but hesitated slightly. Out of habit, he almost forgot that his dagger and the Shadow Bearing Sword were left in the Taixu Illusory Realm. What entered the Cave Heaven was just an illusory body.

Without these two magical weapons, his own attack power was greatly reduced, leaving only the Spirit Void Finger usable.

However, The Spirit Void Finger has also reached Peak Mastery. According to his calculation, its power was comparable to a hit from a Peak Qi Cultivator.

These thoughts were just whirling around in his mind. After moving his fingers together, he took advantage of the situation and flicked forward. Two lines of spirit light shot out and landed on the Black Demon that had just retreated a few steps..
