I Can Accumulate Proficiency, Starting from Alchemy

Chapter 858: Chapter 367: Immortal Castle Years, The Boundary of Life and Death_2

However, as a Half-immortal, even without having crossed the Immortal Tribulation, he was, to some extent, already halfway into the ranks of immortals. This was a different level from Spirit Transformation, one that Han Yi felt utterly uncertain about.

“When the opportunity comes, I must investigate this Half-immortal’s background.”

Harboring this thought in his heart, Han Yi then discarded his complicated thoughts and continued his cultivation.

He still used his Divine Force to sense the Divine Apertures beyond the heavens, unrushed, unhurried.

By the second month.

Han Yi suddenly opened his eyes, a hint of surprise flashing through them.

...

On the Proficiency Panel before him.

The ‘God Fire Battle Body’ slot, which was originally 99/100 began to flicker.

This meant that this skill had reached its critical point and was about to break through.

Han Yi took a deep breath, continuing to sense with his Divine Force, each sensing led to the constant increase in proficiency, and the blinking rate on the corresponding slot on the panel gradually increased.

Half a month later, at the end of his third month in Immortal Castle, the panel flickered to the extreme, then with a swoosh, it jumped instantly.

[God Fire Battle Body (Fifth Realm 100/100)].

At the same moment.

Han Yi’s Divine Force sensed the appearance of a new acupoint under the Shenmen Acupoint of his left hand.

The moment he sensed it, his Divine Force surged like bees, instantly breaking open this acupoint, allowing the Divine Force to flow into it like a continuous river.

Boom!

The acupoint instantly transformed into a Divine Aperture, and then the Divine Force solidified, forming a Nascent Core, which transformed into a Divine Aperture. The Nascent Core went through the Sinking Star, Mysterious Moon, Dark Sun, and then produced Yin-Yang energy, stepping into the Yin-Yang Realm in one go.

Inside the quiet room.

An aura that had broken through the critical point, yet was not yet perfect, flowed out from Han Yi’s body, blocked by the Tai Chi Mysterious Light Array, and did not spread out.

“I finally took the first, and most crucial, step.”

“Next, I need to refine the Innate Spirit Items within my Divine Aperture.”

“This second step is just a matter of time.”

“As long as I successfully refine one Innate Spirit Item, I can understand the realm of life and death by using it, and completely step into the Life and Death Realm.”

Han Yi did not rest, but continued to strike while the iron was hot, immediately starting to refine Innate Spirit Items in his Divine Aperture.

The so-called ‘Innate’ in ‘Innate Spirit Items’ refers to being before the Heavenly Dao, of course, this is in reference to the Divine Aperture.

The Divine Aperture has not yet given birth to the Heavenly Dao, so, theoretically, all the spirit items that are refined are Innate Spirit Items.

And the term ‘refining’ is about combing the spirit items from the outside world with the Yin-Yang energy in the Divine Aperture, letting this spirit item, through changes in the Yin-Yang energy, go from something external to something internal.

When external spirit items are transformed to internal ones, it means that they are Innate Spirit Items. This process involves destruction first, then transformation and rebirth.

This symbolises ‘death’ and ‘life’.

This is the ‘reincarnation’ of spirit items.

Putting it simply.

When Han Yi sends a spirit item into the Divine Aperture and refines it with Yin-Yang energy, if successful, this spirit item will undergo a process of destruction first, then rebirth.

After this process, the spirit item goes from being external to internal and becomes an Innate Spirit Item within the Divine Aperture.

As the master of the Divine Aperture, Han Yi, will also realize the Life-and-death Realm from this process through the transformation of the spirit item.

So, it means he steps into the Life and Death Realm.

Of course.

Refining Innate Spirit Items is not something that can be accomplished successfully in one attempt, it requires constant trials.

This involves two factors, one is time, and the other is spirit items.

Previously in the World of Gods and Demons within the Ancient God’s Corpse in the Endless Void, numerous peak Yin-Yang realm gods and demons were trapped for their entire lives at this step, unable to understand the Life and Death Realm.

Ample time and enough spiritual items are needed to support the repeated explorations of the Life and Death Realm.

As for spiritual items, Han Yi is not lacking.

His first choice was to use the Spirit Origin Fire to refine the Innate Spirit Items. This is a kind of Immortal Fire, and the strongest attribute in him is the fire attribute. It could not be more suitable.

Moreover, the God Fire Battle Body cultivation technique he is cultivating also falls into the fire attribute range. Naturally, it was the first choice.

Of course.

He didn’t throw the whole Immortal Fire for refining right from the start, which would definitely lead to destruction. Instead, as before, he kept cutting it down into the appropriate volume of Immortal Fire for refining.

In this way, he didn’t need to worry about the number of times. Because this piece of Immortal Fire was still huge.

Even if he consumed a lot of time and the Immortal Fire couldn’t be refined into Innate Spirit Items, Han Yi still got the Purple Mysterious Jade Marrow.

This kind of Jade Marrow is of the same grade as the Spirit Origin Fire, with a relatively mild character, but it’s not a fire attribute. Han Yi sees it as the second choice.

If the Jade Marrow is not enough, he can also use his points to exchange for spirit items, and settle for the next best thing, refining other spirit items into Innate Spirit Items in his Divine Aperture.

In short, Han Yi is already making preparations for a protracted battle.

He still has one year until he is one hundred and fifty years old. From the perspective of lifespan, he still has as much as three thousand, which is completely affordable to consume.

Inside the quiet room.

After making a decision, Han Yi sunk his consciousness into the Zhong Fu Shen Qiao, and condensed his Divine Force into a knife, approaching the Spirit Origin Fire that was sealed by his Divine Force.

Then, just like in his previous cultivation, he cut off a small piece.

This small piece is a bit bigger than the one used for cultivation before, about the size of a little finger.

Of course, when refining Innate Spirit Items, the volume cannot be too small. If it’s too small, the Death Intent for transformation is not enough, and it’s not appropriate. So, the spirit item has to be of a moderate size.

And this little-finger-sized Immortal Fire is just an attempt Han Yi is making.
