Mo Lao looked at Ye Xiu's three-zhang celestial vortex in astonishment, dumbfounded.
It wasn't that no one had ever directly crossed a realm and broken through like this before, but those were all at least seven or even nine class celestial primordial cultivators. And to cross realms like this required accumulation over time - at least a month or even several months.
But for someone like Ye Xiu, with no cultivation foundation or celestial primordial energy, to directly break through to the third heaven was unheard of. He even began to wonder if Ye Xiu was really a first class celestial primordial cultivator after all. Even calling him a ninth class celestial primordial prodigy wouldn't be an overstatement.
Naturally, Ye Xiu was unaware of Mo Lao's shock. He was immersed in the vast whiteness of his inner primordial space. He could clearly feel the existence of his primordial core, as well as his profound comprehension of the Myriad Star Celestial Codex.
In this vast, white world, the first star was born!
The first star erupted with brilliant radiance. Along with it came a powerful surge of energy directly flooding into Ye Xiu's primordial core.
In that moment, the starlight was dazzling.
Ye Xiu's eyes trembled slightly, clearly excited. He knew this was the first strand of celestial energy entering his primordial core.
What puzzled him somewhat was that his primordial core seemed enormous. The celestial energy kept pouring in ceaselessly, yet he felt no sense of fullness.
Was this really a first class primordial core?
After all, Mo Lao had said a first class primordial core was the lowest grade, incapable of containing much celestial energy.
Yet he was watching endless torrents of celestial energy gather unceasingly, like a flood. If this really was a first class primordial core, there's no way it could contain this vast amount of energy!
However, based on the color, it was definitely a first class primordial core.
Ye Xiu shook his head, unable to figure it out.
Nevermind, cultivation came first for now.
According to the first volume, the Myriad Star Celestial Codex totaled 10,000 layers, representing 10,000 stars. The first volume alone had 100 layers. Comprehending each star allowed one's physical strength to increase by 10,000 catties. If he could completely master the first volume, his strength would reach 1 million catties.
The might of 1 million catties was unimaginable to Ye Xiu.
But he knew that in this primordial space, the second, third, all the way to the sixth stars were quickly materializing.
In less than a minute, all six stars had fully formed!
Less than a minute to comprehend six layers!
Ye Xiu didn't know what concept that was, but one look at Mo Lao's face would make it clear.
Mo Lao was frozen stiff, as if he had seen a ghost.
Right now, Ye Xiu's celestial vortex had reached an astonishing height. Meaning, in less than a minute of cultivation, Ye Xiu had directly crossed four heavens and was about to break through to the celestial realm.
What's more, the aura erupting from Ye Xiu contained not just the power of a realm breakthrough, but 60,000 catties of even more fearsome strength.
No need to imagine, right now in Ye Xiu's hands was the first volume of the Myriad Star Celestial Codex. The first volume had 100 layers, each layer representing 10,000 catties. This meant that in just over a minute, Ye Xiu had not only crossed realms, but also comprehended the sixth layer of the first volume!
It's said that the beginning is the hardest. Even Dream Spirit Immortal, recognized as the number one cultivator of the Myriad Star Celestial Codex after the Celestial Sovereign, took a full month to comprehend just the first layer when she started cultivating it.
Yet Ye Xiu showed no difficulty at all. It was as easy as eating or drinking water, comprehending six layers in a minute. Who the hell had ever seen someone so freakish!
But this was far from the end.
The next second, his celestial vortex rose again, shooting up to six zhang!
Not only that, the power erupting from Ye Xiu's body grew stronger too, nearing 70,000 catties.
Next, his celestial vortex steadily rose until finally reaching nine zhang!
As for Ye Xiu's strength, it had reached a full 100,000 catties!
Seeing this, Mo Lao nearly passed out from excitement and shortness of breath.
In less than ten minutes, he had reached the peak of the ninth heaven at the celestial realm's gate, and had also successfully comprehended the tenth layer of the Myriad Star Celestial Codex!
Only now did Ye Xiu finally feel he had reached the limits of his celestial energy and star comprehension.
He could break through further if he wanted, but it would be somewhat forced.
Ye Xiu stopped and looked at the nine suspended stars, opting not to continue comprehending.
Because he knew forced cultivation was never the best path. Ye Xiu sought only perfection!
Ye Xiu slowly opened his eyes, their light growing even brighter. He stood up, pops sounding all over his body as powerful energy circulated through him. He wanted to test out his strength right now.
Seeing the dumbstruck Mo Lao, Ye Xiu couldn't help sighing. Mo Lao's mental endurance was pathetic, collapsing like this multiple times already these past two days.
He walked to a boulder as tall as himself and took up a stance, clenching his fists. With a fierce punch, the boulder instantly cracked into countless pieces with his fist at the center.
Congratulations Saint, joyous news Saint! With a prodigy like you, our Celestial Palace will soon return to the peak!
And when the Nine Immortals hear how the Saint crossed nine heavens and comprehended the tenth layer of the Myriad Star Celestial Codex in less than half an hour, they will certainly be overjoyed! Mo Lao said excitedly from behind Ye Xiu, deeply moved.
Ye Xiu turned around, looking at his smoking fist in shock. How much power do I have now? Also, Mo Lao, are you saying I'm at the ninth heaven of the celestial realm now?
Ye Xiu could hardly believe it himself. It had only been a short time, damn, less than ten minutes! Yet he was already at the pinnacle of the celestial realm?
If true, then cultivation was just too easy! Completely unlike Mo Lao's warnings about needing to grind away. This was even easier than eating or drinking!
Mo Lao excitedly said, Saint, you've indeed reached the ninth heaven of the celestial realm! The nine zhang celestial vortex just now signified your successful breakthrough to the ninth heaven!
Conservatively estimating, the Saint's base strength is already 90,000 catties. Adding the power of the tenth layer of the Myriad Star Celestial Codex, that's 100,000 catties. And the Saint Celestial Body itself enhances strength, at least reaching 300,000 catties!
Mo Lao said approvingly: Saint, not even cultivators with the best ninth class primordial cores could possibly cross nine heavens in less than half an hour! I've heard the most freakish ninth class primordial core geniuses took a full month to reach the ninth heaven of the celestial realm!
Ye Xiu looked at his fist incredulously. Are you saying my punch right now can unleash 300,000 catties of power?
What does 300,000 catties even mean?
Mo Lao smiled. The Saint is unaware that at the ninth heaven of the celestial realm, even freakish geniuses without any martial skills can at most reach 200,000 catties when they first break through. And even with the most powerful skills, they can only reach 100,000 catties.
Of course, I'm speaking of the top prodigies. Most can't surpass 120,000 catties at most. Even with skills, at best they can reach just over 200,000 catties. Right now, the Saint has no skills, yet your power can already suppress most geniuses!
You're saying my 300,000 catties now isn't the limit? Ye Xiu asked.
Mo Lao nodded. That's right, the true limit of the ninth heaven is at least triple your current power.
900,000 catties! Ye Xiu's eyes constricted.
Exactly. Mo Lao said.
Let's go, take me to find some martial skills! Ye Xiu strode directly for the door.
Mo Lao was startled. So fast?
He hurriedly followed. Saint, your body won't be able to handle it!
Ye Xiu looked up at the sky and revealed a brilliant smile. He could not wait for the moment when he gained 900,000 jin of strength and saw how surprised the fairy sisters would be.
Thinking of this, he could not wait another second.
