Cultivation: I Signed in with the Talent of an Immortal at the Start

Chapter 634: Thirty Years, the Hongmeng Giant Kun

Days on the Hongmeng Sea were peaceful and monotonous; before they knew it, a year had quietly slipped away.

On this day, a majestic and vast surge of eternal qi suddenly erupted within the warship, sweeping through the entire cabin. Amidst the flowing dao-rhythm, Hun Qianling finally successfully broke through to the Eternal Dao Master Realm.

The door to the cultivation chamber slowly opened, and Hun Qianling stepped out. Her silver-white long dress fluttered slightly in the breeze, and the aura surrounding her was condensed and steady.

She was originally a Powerful Expert at the Peak of the Eternal Dao Master Realm. This time, she was merely reclaiming her former power through re-cultivation, so the Breakthrough process was exceptionally smooth without the slightest hindrance.

Han Xuanji also walked out of his cultivation chamber. A hint of a smile flashed in his eyes as he stepped forward quickly, cupping his hands in greeting.

“Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Qianling, on your smooth Breakthrough to the Eternal Dao Master Realm.”

Hun Qianling gave a faint smile and nodded slightly in return.

“Thank you, Fellow Daoist Xuanji. If you hadn’t been guarding me and providing me with those Hongmeng Flying Fish to replenish my eternal qi, I might not have broken through so quickly. This past year has been hard on you.”

“You’re too kind. It’s only right that we look out for one another.”

Han Xuanji waved his hand, his tone relaxed.

“Besides, I’ve gained quite a lot from hunting this year. It has both honed my combat strength and allowed me to accumulate plenty of cultivation resources. It wasn’t hard at all.”

The two of them walked to the console and sat down, chatting casually.

Hun Qianling looked at the navigation trajectory on the control center screen and said softly,

“Now that I’ve broken through, we can take turns on watch and hunt together from now on. By the way, according to our current sailing speed, if there are no accidents, it should take about seventy more years.”

“Seventy years?”

Han Xuanji nodded slightly, understanding the situation. This speed was already very fast, mainly because they weren’t that far from the Eternal Continent to begin with.

The region where Chaos was located was designated as a safety zone by the Eternal Continent. This roughly meant that there normally wouldn’t be much risk in this area, and Powerful Experts at the Eternal True God level could basically pass through without hindrance.

Hun Qianling’s previous life was simply too unlucky; she happened to run into a low-probability event, equivalent to a plane crash.

“That works. With these few decades, we can accumulate more resources and stabilize our cultivation. Once we reach the Eternal Continent, we’ll have a better chance of protecting ourselves.”

After chatting for a while, Han Xuanji stood up and walked toward his cultivation chamber.

Inside the System space, dozens of Hongmeng Flying Fish were now neatly arranged. These were all caught by him personally over the past year. Each one contained pure eternal qi and was an excellent cultivation resource.

Since he no longer had the System’s help, he couldn’t afford the slightest laziness. Only by keeping his feet on the ground could he continuously improve his strength.

Time continued to flow, and the golden waves of the Hongmeng Sea surged day after day. The thousand spirits vessel sailed steadily, avoiding countless dangers.

In the blink of an eye, another twenty-nine years passed. Han Xuanji had unknowingly spent over thirty years on this Hongmeng Sea.

During these thirty years, he and Hun Qianling took turns guarding the ship and hunting, their coordination becoming increasingly seamless. They hadn’t encountered any attacks from Primordial Chaos Spirits, and they had teamed up to hunt other relatively powerful Primordial Chaos Alien Species, all of which were easily handled by the two of them.

Han Xuanji’s hunting skills also became more proficient. He was no longer limited to hunting Hongmeng Flying Fish and had successfully captured other types of Primordial Chaos Alien Species.

For instance, there was the pitch-black Grandmist Ink-Scaled Fish with bone spikes on its back. Although it was smaller than the Hongmeng Flying Fish, it was extremely fast, and its bone spikes could be used to forge weapons, making it even more valuable.

There was also the Primordial Fire Carp, which resembled a large koi and was entirely crimson. Its flesh contained warm eternal qi, which was of great benefit for tempering the Physical Body.

However, without the water of eternity, Han Xuanji’s Realm progression grew increasingly slow. Despite thirty years of bitter cultivation, he remained at the second layer of the Eternal Dao Master Realm, unable to break through the shackles to reach the third layer.

Conversely, he made Breakthrough progress in his cultivation of Eternal Dao Principles, successfully condensing a third Eternal Dao Principle—and it was the extremely rare Eternal Spacetime Dao Principle.

The Law of Fate focused on auxiliary calculations, the Sword Dao Principle focused on offensive slaughter, and the Spacetime Dao Principle focused on traversing and imprisonment. The three Dao Principles echoed and complemented each other.

If this news were to spread, it would surely scare countless Cultivators on the Eternal Continent to death. One must know that Fate and Spacetime are both extremely profound Great Daos; for an ordinary Cultivator to condense even one of them would already be a sign of extraordinary talent.

Even the Prodigies of some major factions usually only Cultivate these two Great Daos at the very end.

That Han Xuanji could achieve this was not only due to his deep foundations but also inseparable from his extraordinary Comprehension Ability. In fact, the top Prodigies of Chaos were not inferior in talent to those on the Eternal Continent—at least not in terms of Comprehension Ability. If the Dao Ancestors could truly reach the Eternal Continent safely, they would surely be able to make a name for themselves.

One day, Han Xuanji finished his cultivation and walked out of the chamber. Looking at the boundless Hongmeng Sea, he couldn’t help but feel some emotion as he murmured softly,

“It’s been so long, yet we haven’t encountered anyone else. I don’t know if that’s good luck or bad luck.”

Just as Han Xuanji was thinking this, the warship suddenly emitted a sharp alarm. The screen on the console instantly turned red, with warning text flashing repeatedly:

“Warning! High-level Primordial Chaos Alien Species detected nearby! Warning! Eternal True God Realm aura detected!”

Han Xuanji’s expression froze. He immediately rushed to the console. Hun Qianling also rushed over upon hearing the sound, ignoring her cultivation. When she saw the image displayed on the screen, her face instantly became grave.

On the screen, an incredibly massive Primordial Chaos Alien Species appeared in the nearby waters. Its body was as towering as an ancient divine mountain, covered in dark blue scales with a faint purple glow on its belly. Its dorsal fin rose like a Peak and its tail fin was as wide as a sail. Just by swimming slowly, it kicked up monstrous waves. The terrifying pressure of the Eternal True God Realm radiating from it caused the entire warship to tremble slightly.

“It’s a Hongmeng Giant Kun!”

Hun Qianling stared at the screen and explained with a heavy tone,

“This is a top-tier alien species from the depths of the Hongmeng Sea, an existence at the Eternal True God Realm. They are relatively mild-tempered and don’t actively provoke living beings, but its body is too massive. The air currents around it carry world-destroying power. If we get too close, the warship is likely to be torn apart by those currents. Even if it doesn’t intentionally attack, we will still be caught in the crossfire.”

Han Xuanji looked at the sky-blotting Hongmeng Giant Kun on the screen, a sense of shock rising in his heart. Although there were many giant creatures in Chaos, the sense of oppression brought by the two was completely different.

After all, in Chaos, he could easily grow large, though he wasn’t usually accustomed to fighting in that form. But in the Hongmeng Sea, he could at most turn into a giant several hundred zhang tall, which was far too small compared to the size of this Hongmeng Giant Kun.

The pressure of the Eternal True God Realm made him feel a distinct sense of oppression.

“It hasn’t noticed us?”

Han Xuanji asked in a deep voice, his eyes fixed on the movements of the Hongmeng Giant Kun.

Hun Qianling nodded slightly, her tone softening a bit:

“Yes, its perception isn’t strong, and our warship has a stealth function. Besides, in its eyes, our warship is like an ant beneath its feet, not worth mentioning at all. However, we can’t take any chances. We must detour immediately and get away from it as soon as possible. Otherwise, if we get caught in its wake, the consequences will be disastrous.”

As she spoke, Hun Qianling quickly operated the console to adjust the warship’s course, carefully avoiding the activity range of the Hongmeng Giant Kun. Han Xuanji stared at the screen, remaining vigilant of every move this Eternal True God Realm Primordial Chaos Alien Species made, not daring to be the least bit negligent.

Then, Han Xuanji discovered that something seemed slightly wrong with this Hongmeng Giant Kun.
