264 Evolution Toward a Genius (1)
Destructive purple light circled Jiang Ming’s body.
Jiang Ming felt that his body was constantly being broken and then repaired. The purple light kept integrating into his body.
It was like seeing a new life in the midst of destruction. Every time his body broke and was repaired, Jiang Ming’s meridians seemed to have a slight change, becoming tougher and more transparent.
The surging spiritual energy flowed in his meridians, and Jiang Ming felt an unusual change occur. It was smoother than before, and the compatibility between his spiritual energy and his meridians seemed to be higher.
As the power of the purple crystal gradually integrated into Jiang Ming’s body, his perception of the changes in his body became clearer and clearer.
“My perception of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth seems to have become sharper,” Jiang Ming muttered to himself.
The path of immortal cultivation was to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into one’s body and constantly break through the limits and shackles.
However, everyone’s aptitude was different. Almost all ordinary people could not even sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, let alone walk on the road of immortal cultivation.
The more talented a person was, the more sensitive and affable they would be to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Thus, the fewer obstacles and bottlenecks they would encounter on the road of cultivation, the higher the realm they could reach.
In the past, Jiang Ming’s affinity with spiritual energy could only be said to be ordinary. If he did not rely on all kinds of external resources, it would be impossible to cultivate to his level.
“Could it be that my aptitude has increased?” Jiang Ming was a little excited.
He had been a good-for-nothing for more than two hundred years and had not found any way to improve his aptitude. Now that he had seen the light, how could he not be excited?
He pondered for a moment and took out a spirit stone from his storage ring. It was full of spots and impurities, and the spiritual energy inside was extremely impure.
The spiritual energy in this kind of spirit stone was extremely difficult to absorb and temper, and its price was lower than ordinary spirit stones. Generally, only small cultivators in the early stage of Qi Refinement Realm would use it.
Jiang Ming held the spirit stone in his hand. With a thought, he activated the Five Elemental Arts and absorbed the spiritual energy from the spirit stone.
In an instant, the spirit stone lost its luster, and a wisp of spiritual energy entered Jiang Ming’s body, which was quickly refined into his own spiritual energy.
Jiang Ming’s eyes flickered. “It used to be next to impossible to refine the spiritual energy in in the past. This thing is much more precious than the ten-thousand-year-old rock spirit blood. Although there aren’t many of them, if I take all of them, my aptitude will be raised to an unimaginable level.”
Jiang Ming was excited. He quickly took out another purple crystal and swallowed it.
The purple light filled the air and enveloped Jiang Ming’s entire body.

Three days later, Jiang Ming finally finished refining the last piece of purple crystal.
Jiang Ming clenched his fist. He felt indescribably relaxed and happy.
Although he could live forever, true immortal cultivation was not something that could be achieved with time. If his aptitude was not strong enough, it was not impossible for him to be stuck at a bottleneck in cultivation forever.
At the same time, the spiritual energy vortex in Jiang Ming’s body had completely turned into liquid, which meant that the quality of his spiritual energy was now comparable to that of a cultivator in the middle or even late stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
“Everything is ready. It’s time to enter Foundation Establishment Realm!”
Jiang Ming’s eyes were calm. Whether it was his immortal cultivation talent or his spiritual energy, he had done his best. If he failed to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm this time, he would just try again.
Anyway, he was not afraid of any backlash from failure.
“I’ve also chosen a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivation technique!”
Jiang Ming took out a Jade Slip and read it carefully for the last time.
Luo Yanyue and the other cultivators of the Divine Eye Sect had given Jiang Ming several Foundation Establishment Realm cultivation techniques. After a few days of browsing, he had finally decided on his target.
“I’ll choose the Burning Spirit Scripture, a fire-type cultivation technique.”
This technique was the most powerful one of the techniques he had. The spiritual energy cultivated had extremely strong destructive power. However, the disadvantage was that it could easily cause backlash to the cultivator and burn their meridians.
The strange thing about this technique was that there was almost no upper limit to its power. As long as the cultivator’s meridians could withstand it, they could exert more power until the cultivator was burned to ashes.
“I seem to have heard of the Burning Spirit Scripture back in Xiaoqian Mountain. It’s one of the more common Foundation Establishment Realm cultivation techniques. Most of the individual cultivators with average talent try to use the violent energy of the Burning Spirit Scripture to break through the shackles and successfully reach the Foundation Establishment Realm! There are also some cultivators who use this technique to fight with their enemies.”
Jiang Ming touched his chin and felt that the Burning Spirit Scripture was quite compatible with him.
He also had the Mystic Flame Spirit Sacrifice Spell, which was also a fire attribute forbidden technique. With the help of the two, he should be able to erupt with a stronger power.
After reading the Burning Spirit Scripture for the last time, Jiang Ming closed his eyes and meditated. He only opened his eyes after a few hours.
“Let’s begin!”
Jiang Ming began to practice the technique. Gradually, the spiritual energy in his body seemed to be filled with a trace of a hot and violent aura.
