Top enlightenment at 100 years old Chapter 4: Spiritual Qi Disturbance, Everyone’s Astonishment

A few months had passed.

Within the isolated chamber.

Right now, Ji Haoyuan managed to form Liquid Magical Power successfully.

Progress happened far smoother than his expectations.

His declining vitality from age and frail meridians seemed to offer zero hindrance whatsoever.

This felt utterly astonishing.

Although he foresaw his triumph beforehand.

Yet, forming Liquid Magical Power with such effortless grace still struck him as nearly impossible to fathom.

Should word of this leak out, wouldn't it send tremors through the whole Cultivation Realm?

Simply outrageous.

And defying all logic.

The reason boils down to his refined Cultivation Technique matching his present Foundation Establishment Technique almost flawlessly.

For anyone else, it might appear merely as a standard Foundation Establishment Technique.

Overcoming personal limits like his to pull this off would prove unattainable.

Swish——Swish——Swish——

From Ji Haoyuan's frame came noises like rushing rivers.

Liquid Magical Power flowed through him with ever greater ease and power.

Spiritual Qi across the entire chamber madly gathered toward where Ji Haoyuan sat.

These slowly shaped into whirlpools of different scales, like funnels encircling him.

As this occurred, his graying locks clearly started turning darker.

The sagging, wrinkled skin on his form began filling out, acquiring a subtle luster.

Vital energy, robust and lively, surged back into him.

Transforming his appearance to that of a man in his forties.

Not sufficient yet, far from enough!

Ji Haoyuan's eyes grew fierce.

More supplies were required, more Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to saturate his frame, meridians, Dantian, Magical Power!

Boom!

In that instant, the array of jade bottles before Ji Haoyuan burst apart.

Pills restoring Magical Power, vitality, Spiritual Qi—all flooded into his mouth simultaneously.

The many Spirit Stones arranged nearby by him earlier detonated too, converting to dense Spiritual Qi that roared into his body.

The Spirit Vein under his chamber was swiftly drained of its Spiritual Qi as well.

Before long, Spiritual Qi around Qianyang Mountain, home of the Ji Family, erupted wildly.

Ji Bochang, reclining on a seat at the back mountain, abruptly snapped open his shut eyes.

His elderly form sprang upright at once.

Those once dull eyes now shot forth piercing lights.

He fixed his stare on Ji Haoyuan’s seclusion spot, where shock, amazement, delight, and worry intertwined inside him, rippling his once-still mind.

"Haoyuan, he..."

Woosh!

Suddenly, Ji Bochang's silhouette disappeared.

Meanwhile.

Clan Leader Ji Yunfan, quietly directing family members in evacuation, sensed the bizarre Spiritual Qi outburst at the Ji Family’s Qianyang Mountain.

Quickly, his eyes shifted to Ji Haoyuan’s seclusion too.

Even more stunned than Ji Bochang, he refused to accept that his century-old uncle could trigger such a spectacle amid Foundation Establishment.

These signs meant triumph loomed close.

Ji Yunfan failed to hide the thrill, strain, worry, and elation etched on his features.

Following Ji Bochang's lead, he dropped his duties, called forth his own Magical Artifact, and soared off to Ji Haoyuan’s seclusion.

Hope—this has to be the Ji Family's hope!

He understood joy came too soon; composure was essential for all.

Yet Ji Yunfan found calmness impossible at this moment.

The shock hit too abruptly, igniting deep unrest and dread in his heart.

Dread of this proving illusory hope, dread of the crushing letdown after glimpsing salvation.

In the family treasury.

Ji Haochuan, auditing the clan's assets, froze in sudden alarm.

Incredulous, he gazed at Ji Haoyuan’s seclusion, tears streaming over his weathered face.

Right then, comfort, bliss, and solace washed over him.

Wasting no time, Ji Haochuan set aside his ledger and headed to Ji Haoyuan’s seclusion.

By now.

Nearly all Ji Family cultivators began sensing the oddity stemming from Ji Haoyuan’s seclusion.

Lower ranks below elders grasped neither the event's nature nor its source amid the uproar.

Just high-standing ones like Ji Bochang, Ji Yunfan, Ji Haochuan grasped the truth.

Instinctively.

Every Ji Family elder, Ji Bochang, Ji Yunfan, Ji Haochuan included, converged overhead of Ji Haoyuan’s chamber.

Through perfect coordination, they encircled Ji Haoyuan’s seclusion chamber, barring all access.

So, day one, day two, day three...

Three complete days elapsed, yet the displays beyond Ji Haoyuan’s chamber persisted.

This left the vigilant Ji Family elders gripped by worry and tension.

They dreaded the fresh hope vanishing.

Dreading mishaps befalling Ji Haoyuan within his chamber.

Considering his hundred-year age.

The endeavor carried immense peril.

A mishap en route seemed all too likely.

"Elder, will uncle be alright?"

At last.

One elder could no longer hold back his fret, questioning Ji Bochang amid the group.

His query drew gazes from all, Clan Leader Ji Yunfan and Ji Haochuan included, toward Ji Bochang.

Though turmoil churned inside Ji Bochang.

He projected outward poise, eyed the querying elder, pondered briefly, then spoke:

"No need to worry, I observe your uncle should have surpassed the most dangerous Physical Body Barrier and Magic Power Barrier.

Next, he only needs to condense Divine Sense, break through the final Divine Soul Barrier, and then, everything will be achieved.

Patience, just remain patient."

Ji Bochang’s assurance lightened the crowd's minds a bit.

Therefore.

Another seven days went by.

Abruptly.

Spiritual Qi outside the chamber billowed anew.

Followed by a Spiritual Pressure, markedly unlike that of Qi Refining Stage cultivators, gradually radiating from Ji Haoyuan’s secluded chamber.
