Towards the Path of Heaven
Chapter 129

After leaving the Inheritance Tower, Yan Chutian and Loring temporarily lost their target. After all, the ruins of this ancient sect were vast, and opportunities could not simply appear in the field.

Hence, this required cultivators to use their own Spiritual Energy to scan, and most relied solely on luck.

Although this might happen to others, it was not necessarily the case for Yan Chutian, as he had a pair of strange eyes that could see through the illusion of — Spiritual Eyes!

Opening the Spiritual Eye, an inexplicable Qi flowed down Yan Chutian's forehead, entangling the opened vertical eye. Under such circumstances, all the secrets in the surroundings seemed to be exposed to Yan Chutian's eyes.

The Spiritual Eye continued to scan, and even if it consumed a lot of Spiritual Energy, Yan Chutian ignored it, because as long as he could find an opportunity, this kind of consumption was simply too precious.

And it seems that hard work is paying off. After searching for half a day, Yan Chutian actually found a strange place.

It was a floating lotus platform, floating in a remote spring that was only a few feet wide. This remote lotus stage and spring water seemed ordinary, but in this barren world, such a green place suddenly appeared, it was strange.

Sure enough, when the two approached, they could clearly sense the rich Spiritual Qi emitted by the lotus platform. The level of Spiritual Qi was comparable to the level that Yan Chutian had obtained when he experienced the Spirit Spring baptism.

And with such rich Spiritual Qi, the entire desolate spring was no longer dead, but full of vitality.

Yan Chutian and Loring were both shocked. They looked at each other and saw a deep joy in each other's eyes.

Such an incredible environment was perfect for them to cultivate!

"Sister Loring, please."

However, Yan Chutian also understood that there was only one lotus platform, and it was obviously impossible to cultivate at the same time. Moreover, at least one person had to stay behind to protect them, otherwise, it would be troublesome if someone suddenly interrupted them.

After hearing this, Loring was clearly moved. He wanted to land on the lotus chair and sit cross-legged. However, he seemed to think of something and did not move in the end. Instead, he looked at Yan Chutian and slowly said, "Before, you were the one protecting for a period of time. Therefore, this time I will let you go first."

"Sister Loring, don't worry. Actually …"

"Hmph, I said I'd let you go first, so I'll let you go first. Why are you so wishy-washy!"

Seeing Loring's hard stance, Yan Chutian did not refuse anymore. After all, the Lotus Throne was there, and he could not escape. He could give it to Loring after she used it.

Thus, as he nodded, Yan Chutian entered the lotus platform and sat cross-legged in meditation. This lotus platform was also strange. When Yan Chutian entered it and sat down cross-legged, the lotus flower petals gradually closed and enveloped it, as if forming a sealed secret room.

Inside the lotus platform, Yan Chutian was shocked upon seeing this change, but then he understood. Perhaps this Lotus Platform was where the disciples of the ancient sect were cultivating, right?

Beside the pool, Loring was also startled at first, but then she understood. He sat down and spread his aura to cover the surrounding area. Just like Yan Chutian half a day ago, he calmly became a protector.

Inside the lotus platform, Yan Chutian pondered for a while, but in the end, he did not choose to try to break through. This was because he felt his preparations were not right. Also, he had not long been at the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm, so it was no good to rush over.

If he could truly fuse the two into one, the strength he could show would not be much worse than breaking through to the Elixir Realm.

Gazing at the crystal fruit in his hand, Yan Chutian slowly refined it with his spirit power. At the same time, he muttered softly.

"Fruit of the Spirit, do not let me down …"

...

In this vast space, there were people looking for opportunities everywhere, but they had to bear the appropriate risks to find opportunities. If you react quickly, you can shatter the jade and escape when facing danger. However, if you are too slow, you will turn into a corpse and stay here forever to accompany this desolate ancient sect.

At this moment, there were two figures slowly moving forward. The person in front was someone Yan Chutian thought was very familiar with because he looked somewhat similar to Xu Jian.

It was clear that he was Xu Jian's younger brother, Xu Kong.

There was a young man in purple clothes beside Xu Kong. Although he looked older than Xu Kong, his words and actions were very similar to that of a younger brother.

"Senior Xu Kong, it's all thanks to my senior brother being able to obtain spirit fruit!"

The purple-clothed young man smiled flatteringly, but Xu Kong did not pay much attention to him. In his eyes, there were countless people like him, like the servants of a genius.

And Xu Kong did not pay much attention to him. The young man in purple clothes seemed to have expected it. He still had a charming smile on his face as he followed beside the first one. However, only he himself knew what kind of thoughts he had in his heart.

Two people with different minds continue to move forward in this vast world, looking for possible opportunities. The direction they were heading towards seemed to be where Yan Chutian and Loring were.

At the same time, Yan Chutian finished refining the Spirit Fruit within a quarter hour. However, it was easy to refine a Spirit Fruit, but it was extremely difficult to fuse it with spirit power and Mysterious Flame Qi.

But at this point, there was no reason to retreat. Slightly exhaling, Yan Chutian slowly absorbed the delicate Spirit Melting Fruit Juice into his body. Then, within his dantian, he slowly began to fuse his spirit power with the Mysterious Fire Qi copied from the Mysterious Wood Fire Qi.

Just like before, Yan Chutian first fused the two as far as he could, then he separated a strand of Spirit Fruit and slowly fused them together.

When the Spirit Fruit fused, of course, the two seemingly fused forces continued to fuse under the influence of the medicinal juice. However, this fusion was extremely slow. If one did not observe carefully, they would not be able to see it.

However, Yan Chutian knew that this was still not enough. Taking advantage of the fact that the string of Spirit Fruits had yet to fully fuse together, he had to compress it to the fullest extent possible, bringing the two powers as close as possible. Only then can the two powers be completely fused together.

As long as he could find the fusion balance, even if there were no Spirit Fruits in the future, he could rely on himself to combine the two powers. Just to that extent, the fusion of the two powers could be considered perfect.

However, to reach that level, it was destined to not be done once or twice, nor could it be done with a single Spirit Fruit. It might take a long time for Yan Chutian to explore and familiarize himself with it.

He repeated the fusion over and over again, gritting his teeth and compressing them again and again, but it seemed like at any moment, he was unable to meet the requirements in his heart. This made Yan Chutian understand, but he also felt helpless.
