"Perhaps I can finish these incomplete cultivation runes on my spirit base?" Jiang Ming's heart trembled as he thought of a possibility that shocked even him.
All the scriptures in this world were entrusted to the great cultivation of Heaven and Earth. If Jiang Ming could carve a complete cultivation rune on his spirit base one day, he would be able to cast a terrifying and powerful spell with just a wave of his hand.
"That's right. It seems that it will take time for this seed to grow. It's better to be patient." Jiang Ming observed the seed for a moment and found that it had completely quieted down after the initial movement. He did not know when it would germinate.
"Fortunately, I have plenty of time," Jiang Ming muttered to himself.
Unnoticed by Jiang Ming, the seed quietly circulated a trace of extremely weak and strange cultivation runes. It fused with the tens of thousands of cultivation runes surrounding it. It was almost indistinguishable.
The trace of the great cultivation flowed out along the roots and spread toward Jiang Ming's spirit base. It quickly succeeded and seeped into Jiang Ming's spirit base without causing any abnormal movements.
The indestructible origin light floated quietly in the depths of Jiang Ming's consciousness. It did not react at all.
The strand of cultivation runes paused for a moment. After discovering that it did not cause any reaction, it suddenly became bold and spread deeper into the spirit base.
Vaguely, a trace of fierceness circulated within this strand of cultivation runes, as if it contained the bloody aura of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
Soon, it gradually spread from the surface of the spirit base to the inside and took root deeper, wanting to permeate Jiang Ming's entire spirit base.
During this entire process, the indestructible origin light did not move at all, as if it did not sense anything at all. This made the ferocious cultivation runes bolder, and the speed at which they seeped in became even faster.
Finally, the ferocious cultivation runes completely penetrated Jiang Ming's spirit base. They took root from the top of the spirit base and penetrated into the deepest part, reaching the opposite side of Jiang Ming's spirit base.
The chaotic gray fog lingered on the back side of the spirit base like an endless chaotic space. It was quiet and turbulent, as if it was detached from the world.
The fierce cultivation runes suddenly froze, as if it was a little stunned and had never seen the reverse side of a cultivator's spirit base.
The reverse side of the spirit base should be a dark and desolate area. There should be nothing there. Why was there gray chaotic fog here? What was this?
The ferocious cultivation runes trembled slightly. This fog seemed to cause it to feel some primal fear. It was as if it had encountered its natural enemy. Even before it had collided with it, it could not help but want to submit.
If the ferocious cultivation runes had a clear consciousness, it would definitely ask what kind of monster this body was.
However, since things had already come to this, this fierce cultivation aura had no other way out.
In the next moment, a bloodthirsty aura suddenly erupted from this fierce cultivation rune. It was about to engulf the entire spirit base and occupy this body.
Just as this fierce cultivation rune was about to erupt, Jiang Ming's spirit base shook slightly at this moment.
The fog that seemed to be calm and peaceful suddenly rose and danced. Flames rose from the depths of the fog, as if it was angered by the disturbance of outsiders.
"Hmm?" Jiang Ming was stunned. He was ready to leave. Why did something happen again?
He hurriedly looked into his spirit base again and saw a scene that stunned him.
Flames were rising from the seed that had just been buried in his spirit base. They lingered around the seed and burned extremely fiercely.
"What happened?"
Jiang Ming was a little surprised. Wasn't this chaotic flame transformed from the bundle of dry wood that the old man on the starlit path had given him? It had turned into a chaotic gray fog and lay dormant behind his spirit base. There had been no movement all this time. Why was it suddenly active today?
Jiang Ming quickly checked the reverse side of the spirit base. Sure enough, he found that the fog was rapidly seeping into the spirit base from the reverse side, rushing toward the front of the spirit base and gathering toward the seed.
Vaguely, Jiang Ming seemed to hear the sound of something being burned. Then, a pure and vast spiritual energy suddenly erupted from his spirit base.
Under the impact of the pure spiritual energy, Jiang Ming's cultivation suddenly erupted at this moment. It suddenly rose violently.
Jiang Ming suddenly broke through to the peak of the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
"What kind of gift is this?" Jiang Ming was shocked and ecstatic. Although he did not understand the reason, the increase in his cultivation was real.
Although his aptitude had increased by a lot, and he had obtained many treasures from the trip to the ruins, it would still take him at least ten years to reach the peak of the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
However, he seemed to have broken through in an instant!
"However, this spiritual energy seems to contain some kind of fierce and fiendish intent, which is somewhat inconsistent with my peace-loving temperament. Whatever, it'll be fine after a few more refinements in the future."
Jiang Ming observed it carefully for a moment and felt relieved. The improvement of his cultivation was very stable and there were almost no flaws. It meant that the quality of the spiritual energy was amazing.
However, Jiang Ming immediately realized that after his cultivation increased, the changes in his spiritual core did not stop. The fog on the reverse side of the spirit base still did not stop burning and smelting the mysterious seed.
Strands of fog rushed into the front of the spirit base from the back. While the seed was being burned by the flames, the strands of fog also slowly seeped into it.
The green seed that had been circulating with a halo earlier was also slowly changing at this moment. The halo was restrained and became a little gray, as if it had returned to its original state.
It was as if the fog wanted to live in the seed.
"Hmmm… This altar is not as fierce as the black sword described." He squatted down and patted the altar. "Wow, you're really generous. You gave me such a powerful seed and even gave me a chance to increase my cultivation. I can't thank you enough. If there's anything you need in the future, feel free to look for me. As long as it's within my power, I'll do it for you!"
The altar seemed to be angry out of humiliation. It shook violently, and Jiang Ming flew up. He fell from the altar and landed on the grass outside.
"Such a bad temper!" Jiang Ming almost fell on his face. He turned around and found that the light fog around the altar had completely dissipated. The altar had returned to its initial silence, and there was no more movement.
"Wow, you're so selfless! You don't want anything in return!"
"Bro? You didn't die?" The black sword flew over from afar and asked in surprise, "What kind of danger did you encounter on the altar?"
Jiang Ming quickly shook his head unhappily. "You're not allowed to say that about the altar. It has a great personality!"
Jiang Ming was in a trance. The figure of the altar became even more ethereal, as if it was shrouded in fog. He could no longer see it clearly.
"Alright, it's time to think of a way to leave this place!" Jiang Ming raised his eyebrows, picked up the black sword, turned around, and strode away.
