Chapter 494: Chapter 340: Twenty Years of Freely Taken Boons, Advancing the Lifebound True Scripture! (Part 2)
...
Ten years later.
Yushan Island.
This island is vast, filled with countless Spirit Peaks and Spirit Plants, like a miniature continent stretching across the Great Marsh.
The most numerous inhabitants on the island are the Fox Race.
As the Great Sun breaks the dawn and the sky brightens, one by one, chubby foxes yawn and crawl out of their Cave Mansions, jostling as they rush towards a green Bamboo Courtyard.
In the Bamboo Courtyard, an old man with white hair and wrinkled face stands sternly at the courtyard gate.
Seeing the yawning chubby foxes, he couldn’t help but scold, "Hurry into the courtyard, with such laziness, when will you be able to transform?"
Seeing the old man, these chubby foxes shiver and rush into the Bamboo Courtyard in a swarm, those slow even get knocked flying by their companions, face-planting on the ground in a comical manner.
After a bout of commotion, the foxes finally settle in their seats in the courtyard. The old man then takes out a grey book and starts reading aloud.
Below, many foxes also read aloud in unison, like children, with clear and melodious voices.
Before long, the sound of reading spreads across the island, full of vitality.
At this moment, on a distant Spirit Peak, a breathtakingly beautiful, graceful girl leans by a window, watching the scene with a smile.
She truly loves this warm and harmonious atmosphere.
But in a moment, she seems to remember something, and looks into the distance.
In the center of the island, a towering Spirit Peak rises thousands of feet high, piercing the clouds.
On the Spirit Peak, a ray of the Great Sun’s light shines continuously, day and night, as if it always falls upon the peak, extraordinarily mystical.
The girl gazes at the Spirit Peak, lost in thought, not knowing what she’s pondering.
"Miss, watching your Guardian Prince again, are you?"
Just then, a fragrant breeze wafts in. A lively and adorable maid in a green dress suddenly leaps over and says with a giggle.
"Don’t speak nonsense, what Guardian Prince, not even a Guardian..."
The girl, upon hearing this, lightly shakes her head, her tone somewhat melancholic.
"The ancestor has long announced he would find a Guardian for Miss. Since that Prince entered the island, he’s been occupying the Secret Realm, and there’s a large amount of Spirit Plants sent in every day. Isn’t that a Guardian?"
"Those Spirit Plants and pills, so many have been sent, many elders on the island have quite some opinions!"
The maid in green wrinkles her nose.
"You, don’t speak if you don’t understand..."
Upon hearing this, the girl only shakes her head.
"Hehe, Miss, don’t be shy. As Fox Maidens, we should be open and frank. If you like, pursue, once under the covers, that Prince won’t run away!"
"Speaking of, that Prince is so young yet already has such cultivation, Miss, your future happiness is assured, don’t forget about this little maid. This little maid hasn’t tasted the pleasures of men since her transformation!"
The maid in green assumes her Miss is shy, and giggles, speaking without reservation.
"You’re in heat again!"
"So shameless!"
"We’re Fox Maidens, isn’t it normal to be in heat? Miss, I got some illustrated books from a small cultivator on the trade route. Would you like to study them first?"
"Pah, pah, pah! Get out, get out!"
...
...
The affairs of the Fox Maidens and Fox Children on Yushan Island, Gu Yuan was not aware of, even if he knew, he wouldn’t care.
Currently, he is cultivating within the Eternal Day Secret Realm.
The Eternal Day Secret Realm, said to be a Secret Realm, is actually a peculiar cave.
The cave is not large, only about a zhang wide, just enough for a cultivator to cultivate.
But above the cave, a ray of the Great Sun’s golden light shines within. Its dazzling brilliance never fades, as if time has lost its meaning here.
There is no sunset in this place, any cultivator who cultivates here will not feel the swelling of their meridians, as if the passage of time changes speed, those pills and Spirit Grass that were difficult to refine can be easily consumed and refined.
As long as there are enough spiritual food and pills, in just a few years, one can cultivate a hundred years’ worth of mana.
"Boom!"
At this moment, Gu Yuan sits cross-legged, with numerous pill bottles and jade boxes in front of him. He sits with eyes closed, seemingly asleep, yet the mana within him surges like a river, endlessly flowing, creating a deafening roar.
And at his feet, several Yin Yang-colored jade blocks have long turned to dust, vanished without a trace.
"Shua!"
Suddenly, Gu Yuan opens his eyes, a brilliant flash of Spiritual Light flickers through them, the Cave Mansion brightens, as if lightning had torn through the Void.
"Those who can cultivate to the Late Stage Great Demon truly have some fortuitous encounter, this Eternal Day Secret Realm is indeed extraordinary..."
Gu Yuan lightly clenches his fist, feeling the surging mana within him, and murmurs to himself.
The effect of the Eternal Day Secret Realm is very similar to when he transforms into his Dragon Body and consumes pills and Dao Jade.
The only difference is the Dragon Body transformation is more of a Profound Mystery, able to refine more vast amounts of Spiritual Qi, whereas the effect of the Eternal Day Secret Realm is a bit lacking, and it must be nurtured for many years before it can be used for a few years, unlike the Dragon Body transformation, which can be used daily.
But the accumulation over a hundred years, used within a few years, can still be gradual and steady, allowing a cultivator to accumulate mana in a gentle yet rapid manner.
Gu Yuan has sat here for ten years, having long refined the remaining five Dao Jades.
The Gold-Attribute Magical Power has increased by five hundred strands, reaching a total of one thousand seven hundred and fifty strands!
Within ten years, the Three-headed Infant Fox indeed kept its promise, granting him anything he asked for, allowing Gu Yuan to select from all the spiritual pills and treasures on the island.
With the assistance of these many treasures and the Secret Realm, the mana within his body has astonishingly reached the mark of one thousand nine hundred strands.
