Chapter 2355 — Chapter 2355 Peak Celestial Qi Comprehension

After letting Kulas spend several days with his family, Ren Xia appeared and said to him, "Let's go. It's time to begin your training."

"Already?! Can't we start later? I've been separated from my family for so long! You cannot separate us again os quickly!" he refuted.

Ren Xia sneered and said, "What happened to your resolution to train as fast as possible from not long ago?"

"T-That's different! I am still going to train hard! Just give me a little more—"

"Kulas, the longer you delay your training, the less effective your training will be," Ren Xia suddenly interrupted, dumbfounding him.

"How does that work?" he tilted his head, looking puzzled.

"Since your vessel is still newly forged, the materials used to craft it remain active. If you train during this period, your growth will be explosive. However, once those materials begin to weaken, the effects will diminish," she explained.

"What?!"

"Just go, my dear." Chao Shuying suddenly said. "We all agreed not to interfere with your recovery, after all."

"But…" Kulas looked at her with reluctance.

"It's not like we'll never see each other again. In fact, you can visit us whenever you have time."

Ren Xia then said, "While it'll be rare, there will definitely be some small breaks throughout your training."

After a moment of silence, Kulas sighed.

He then turned to face Ren Xia and nodded with a resolute face. "Let's begin my training."

"Let's get going."

Without another word, Ren Xia flew back in the direction of her living quarters, where Yu Ning was waiting for their return.

Since he still couldn't fly, Kulas had to run after her again. However, he had much more enthusiasm this time. In fact, his body had already grown slightly stronger from their previous running session.

"See you all later!" Kulas gave his family a swift farewell before chasing after Ren Xia.

Meanwhile, after Yuan stepped through the portal and left his world behind, he found himself drifting within a tunnel of endless void for several days. Normally, teleportation was instantaneous—but for some reason, this passage was taking far longer than it should have.

As he drifted through the void, Yuan pondered his current situation.

"It's been a long while since I've traveled alone…" he muttered.

Although Dragon Goddess Yeyou technically remained within one of his Soul Weapons, this was one of the rare times he was truly alone. Even in his previous lives, he was rarely alone. "Hope the others are doing fine…"

When a few more days had passed, and he was still drifting in the tunnel, Yuan started feeling worried, and he couldn't help but wonder if something was wrong with the teleport he took.

"That world has several entrances and many more exits. Did I take the wrong one by accident? I should've asked Ren Xia before I entered it…" he sighed out loud.

Although he could forcibly tear his way out of the tunnel using Void Manipulation, he was currently traveling through the void at light speed. If he did so, there was a high chance he would emerge somewhere in the boundless Starry Sky without any sense of direction—and becoming lost was the last thing he wanted.

With nothing else to occupy his time, Yuan decided to cultivate. Fortunately, the tunnel was overflowing with Celestial Qi.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath before attempting to sense the Celestial Qi.

Due to regaining Tian Yang's memories—even reliving his life—Yuan had gained the ability to sense Celestial Qi as natural as breathing.

It took Yuan less than a day to reach the pinnacle comprehension of Celestial Qi, something that only a few since the beginning of time could achieve after countless years of cultivation.

Even though he could've started cultivating Celestial Qi much earlier, Yuan only started absorbing Celestial Qi once he reached peak mastery. After all, the quality and amount of Celestial Qi one could absorb greatly varied based on their understanding, so the higher one's comprehension, the more effective their cultivation would be.

A vacuum suddenly formed around Yuan, violently drawing in the surrounding Celestial Qi like a whirlpool raging in the heart of a vast ocean.

Yet, when the Celestial Qi entered his body and then his Dantian, they did not push him closer to the God Ascension realm. Instead, it was all being consumed by the Spirit Tree dwelling within.

Realizing this, Yuan didn't panic or mind, allowing the Spirit Tree to consume as much as it wanted. As the Spirit Tree absorbed the Celestial Qi, its radiance grew increasingly pronounced. The entire tree began to glow in shades of blue and violet, an ethereal aurora forming and dancing around it.

Eventually, the Spirit Tree had its full with the Celestial Qi and stopped its feasting.

[Progress: 1%]

Once the Spirit Tree stopped hogging all of the Celestial Qi, Yuan was finally able to cultivate properly, and very quickly, his Dantian and entire being were overflowing with refined Celestial Qi.

In just a few days, Yuan had accumulated enough Celestial Qi to breakthrough the Immortal Realm and enter the God Ascension Realm. However, there was still one issue—his physique.

"Now… let's see if my physique will allow me to enter the God Ascension Realm, or will it continue to restrict me in the Immortal Realm until I evolve it…"

Yuan took a deep breath and prepared for his breakthrough.

One day… three days… five days later—

Suddenly, Yuan's aura and pressure began to weaken, fading until they were nearly nonexistent. Then his physical body started to blur and grow transparent, as though his very existence were being erased from reality.

Yuan could feel his existence slowly fading, yet he persisted and continued his breakthrough.
