Immortal Supreme: Sovereign of the Grand Dao

Chapter 197  Breakthrough: Peak Seventh Stage Martial King Realm

In the dimly lit cavern, Arthur handed over the Transcendent Grade Tier 5 Nine Star Foundation Pills to Helia and Anastasia.

Their eyes widened as they cradled the pills in their hands, a mix of awe and gratitude etched on their faces.

"Young Master, this... I can't believe you created pills of this caliber," Helia exclaimed, her voice filled with genuine admiration.

Anastasia, equally stunned, added, "This is beyond anything we could have expected. Thank you. But just how many things do you know how to do, Arthur?"

Arthur waved it off casually. "Don't mention it. We are family, no need for too much talk. Now, go ahead and cultivate. We have a lot more to explore in this secret realm, and I want us all at our best."

The two girls nodded in unison, expressions resolute. They moved to separate corners of the cavern, each finding a secluded space to begin their cultivation.

As they settled into meditation, Arthur took a moment to observe the serene scene. The cavern, once echoing with the sounds of the Earth Spirit Milk pool, now held an air of focused determination.

Cora, ever perceptive, appeared by Arthur's side. "I just went away for a while and you broke another record," her expression was strange.

Arthur was making the idol in her heart seem normal. But if that was the case then what about her?

Arthur grinned, acknowledging her observation. "Looking at your expression you're probably thinkinh about that whatever alchemy god right?"

"That's the God of Alchemy, Aamir."

"Whatever. How about the White Furred Apes? Under your control?"

Cora nodded. "They won't bother us unless you want them to."

"Hehe, why would I? Anyway, I'll be in the other room cultivating. If anything happens, let me know."

As Cora faded into the shadows, Arthur found himself a secluded spot. With a thought he entered the inner dimension of the Nine Heavens Palace.

Entering this realm, Arthur's surroundings blurred, and he found himself in a serene landscape within the palace. Aixen, the guardian spirit, appeared before him.

"Master, the cultivation chamber has already been prepared. So far maintain the time ratio of 1:3 should still be doable without challenges."

Arthur nodded, his eyes reflecting a resolute determination. "Very good Aixen, let's get to work then."

In the material world, Cora kept a watchful eye on the surroundings. The secluded atmosphere allowed for an undisturbed focus on cultivation.

Helia and Anastasia, each immersed in their own cultivation method, began the process of absorbing the Earth Spirit Milk's energies and integrating the effects of the Nine Star Foundation Pills.

Helia, her connection with the earth element profound, entered a state of harmonious resonance with the Earth Spirit Milk. The pill's essence merged seamlessly with her cultivation, enhancing the stability and depth of her foundation.

Anastasia, on the other hand, experienced the fiery surge of the Crimson Ember Flowers. The potent flames coursed through her meridians, refining her spiritual energy to a new level.

As they cultivated silently their strengths were growing at an alarming rate.

One a pill reaches the transcendent grade it would have a 200% efficiency. And as such the benefits would carry them up until the Martial Emperor Realm and even help them take a step further than others.

With this, Arthur had singlehandedly made Helia to be able to stand amongst the genuises of this era.

Within the secluded confines of the Nine Heavens Palace, Arthur prepared to embark on utilizing the formidable power of his Dao Devouring Martial Spirit.

The chamber, infused with an ethereal glow of complex array to increase the density of essence energy and also the power of time.

Arthur, positioned at the center of the cultivation array, closed his eyes, connecting with the core of his being.

The air itself seemed to hum with anticipation as he activated the Nine Heavens Sacred Universal Scripture, a cultivation technique that resonated with the very essence of the cosmos.

The Dao Devouring Martial Spirit, a black hole-like manifestation, emerged from Arthur's dantian, its gravitational pull a force to be reckoned with. The ambient energy in the chamber responded, bending to the will of this extraordinary spirit.

As the martial spirit expanded, its inky tendrils reached out, tapping into the fundamental energies surrounding Arthur. Essence energy, like a river responding to the call of the ocean, began to flow towards him. The martial spirit, an insatiable force, absorbed the essence with voracious hunger.

Aixen, observed with a profound sense of approval. "Master's control over the Dao Devouring Martial Spirit is truly remarkable. It feeds on the very essence of the world, transcending the limitations of conventional cultivation."

The cultivation array beneath Arthur glowed brighter, resonating with the surge of power coursing through it.

The Nine Heavens Sacred Universal Scripture, a technique honed through meticulous practice and profound understanding, served as the conduit for this transformative process.

As essence energy continued to pour into the martial spirit, Arthur's body underwent a metamorphosis. His meridians expanded, accommodating the influx of power. Each cell seemed to pulsate with newfound vitality.

The martial spirit, now a swirling vortex of power, drew upon the quintessence of the Dao.

It wasn't merely absorbing energy; it was assimilating the very principles that governed existence. Arthur's cultivation wasn't a mere ascent through realms; it was a communion with the elusive truth of the Dao Laws.

This was also a result of his cultivation technique, and it allowed his comprehension of the elementals laws to increase greatly.

Time within the Nine Heavens Palace flowed differently, and what seemed like moments stretched into profound epochs.

In the outside world, a day would pass for every three within the palace. Yet, within this timeless sanctuary, Arthur's journey through the martial king realms unfolded at an accelerated pace.

With each stage surpassed, the martial spirit's hunger intensified. It reached a point where Arthur, in symbiotic harmony with the spirit, seemed to transcend the boundaries of each stage.

Fourth Stage Martial King Realm!

Fifth Stage Martial King Realm!

Sixth Stage Martial King Realm! Nôv(el)B\\jnn

As Arthur approached the pinnacle of the Seventh Stage of the Martial King Realm, the martial spirit's hunger waned. The energies within the chamber settled, and Arthur, now bathed in a transcendent aura, opened his eyes.

Arthur's aura resonated with power as he reached the peak of the Seventh Stage of the Martial King Realm. The energies around him seemed to acknowledge this accomplishment, vibrating in a subtle harmony.

Satisfied with his cultivation progress, Arthur shifted his focus to the intricacies of Tier 4 Rune Circles.

He retrieved a Rune Book gifted by Suo Hao, its pages filled with complex symbols that represented a higher level of runic mastery.

Aixen, the guardian spirit, observed with a sense of anticipation. "Master, Tier 4 Runes are a considerable leap from Tier 3. The intricacies demand a profound understanding of soul power. But with your vast soul energy, I believe you'll master them swiftly."

Arthur nodded in agreement, his eyes fixed on the runic patterns before him. The symbols danced in his mind as he began the meticulous process of memorization.

Days turned into nights within the Nine Heavens Palace as Arthur delved into the world of Tier 4 Runes. His concentration was unwavering, his mind absorbing the complexities of each runic circle.

In a few days, Arthur, to even Aixen's surprise, had memorized and learnt the Tier 4 Rune Circles. His soul power, an abundant wellspring, proved more than sufficient for the task. The dance of runes within his consciousness became a familiar melody.

Arthur, now with the Tier 4 Rune Circles at his mental fingertips, decided to put his newfound knowledge to the test. His fingers traced the patterns in the air, creating intricate rune formations that glowed with a subtle brilliance.

In just a week, Arthur mastered a Tier 4 Runic Circle, a testament to his formidable mental acuity and control over soul power.

He marveled at the intricacies of the runes, realizing the potential they held for enhancing his abilities.

However, Arthur's thirst for knowledge didn't end there. With an ambitious goal in mind, he sought to grasp Tier 4 Arrays within a month.

Arrays embodied multiple complex Runes and runic circles and even combined Tier 3 arrays within. So it was much more complex.

The subsequent weeks saw Arthur engrossed in the study and practice of Tier 4 Arrays. The cavern within the Nine Heavens Palace echoed with the resonances of his efforts.

One month later, Arthur's progress exceeded even his own expectations. Aixen, with a sense of admiration, remarked, "Master, you've not only mastered one but two Tier 4 Arrays."

Arthur, a glint of satisfaction in his eyes, acknowledged the achievement. "The Rending Wind Array and the Gale Inferno Array—I can form them in an instant."

Aixen marveled at Arthur's swift mastery. "Your comprehension of runes and arrays is truly exceptional."

"I've never seen such an advancement before. Your soul power and innate soul memories unawakened should have played a major role," Aixen said.

As Arthur contemplated his newfound abilities, the ambient energies within the Nine Heavens Palace seemed to pulse with approval. The runes on the ground glowed softly, as if acknowledging the mastery of their wielder.

Content with his achievements, Arthur closed the Rune Book and stood, a newfound determination in his eyes. The Red Sky Sect's ruins would soon activate, and he was prepared to face the challenges that awaited.
