X-Dragon Era

After all the discussions were over, what Xin Yun needed to do next was to enhance his strength as soon as possible. No matter what, he must reach the Diamond Stage within three years, so... during this period, Xin Yun had to do one thing.

Given Xin Yun's current cultivation speed, it was still possible to improve by three stars each year, mainly not due to his own efforts, but with the help of the Four Great Sword Spirits! However, if it were just that, it would only achieve roughly six or seven stars after two years, and the final year had to be reserved for merging the nine dragons and comprehending the Profound Mystery of the Diamond Stage! Therefore... within these three years, Xin Yun still faced a shortfall of two stages!

It was absolutely impossible to bridge the gap from the Seventh to the Ninth Stage by means of ordinary cultivation. If he could get his hands on an Amethyst Fruit, that would solve his problem, but the current issue was that the Amethyst Fruit had not yet matured, and the Amethyst Competition had not started either, so this solution was discarded.

If it were anyone else, maybe there would be no solution, but Xin Yun was different, after all, he was reborn. According to Xin Yun's memory, there was still a way to achieve it.

The ability to enhance one's strength is definitely not only attributed to crystal fruit, Amethyst Fruit, or Diamond Fruit. Earth People know that similar treasures like the Peach of Immortality, Ginseng Fruit, and the like... all share the same effects, it's just that... as of now, though Xin Yun knows about them, he does not know where these treasures are. Take the Peach Tree of Immortality for example, it's probably in the hands of the ancient Hong Jun.

Besides these well-known treasures, Xin Yun knew of another kind of fruit that was absolutely irreplaceable for the Water Series Xin Yun — the Water Spirit Fruit!

The Water Spirit Fruit grows in the deep sea and usually surrounds the seabed Spirit Veins, formed by the condensation of the purest Water Spirit Qi. Once one consumes a Water Spirit Fruit, not only does it instantly enhance three stages of strength, but more importantly, it purifies the Spiritual Energy within the Dragon Ball, eliminating impurities and improving the energy's purity.

The most crucial aspect is that after consuming the Water Spirit Fruit, the body's water-series talent is greatly enhanced by the fruit's nourishment. If one could eat three of them continuously, even though there wouldn't be any further increase in strength, the body could be refined into a Water Spirit Body, immensely enhancing the efficiency of cultivating Water Series Cultivation Techniques!

The Water Spirit Body not only increases the efficiency of cultivation but also enhances the water-series talent, aptitude, and potential. In fact... this trip was actively sought by Xin Yun; otherwise, even if the Illusionary Realm opened, Xin Yun feared he would not be able to obtain the Seven-Colored Dragon Pearl and become one of the Nine Great Experts!

In his previous life, when the Illusionary Realm opened, there were already many Diamond Ten-Star experts, and their numbers were to be counted by the tens of thousands, and that's not just a mere ten or twenty thousand.

However, in reality, countless people had entered the Illusionary Realm, but in the end, only nine succeeded in obtaining the Seven-Colored Dragon Pearl, becoming one of the Nine Great Experts. As for the others, they all failed.

To obtain the Seven-Colored Dragon Pearl, one must, of course, possess immense strength, but that alone is not sufficient; one must also have exceptional talent, aptitude, and potential. According to summaries from the previous life, one of the three attributes had to be at maximum to stand a chance of success; otherwise, it was impossible to control the Seven-Colored Dragon Pearl or activate the laws contained within it.

Initially... Xin Yun, with the Red Gourd, didn't need to worry about this. However, the Red Gourd was still too weak now, and its effects were very mild. To rely on the Red Gourd, who knows when it would be able to meet Xin Yun's requirements.

The sooner he reached his goal, the more rewards Xin Yun would have; so... within the next three years. Otherwise, if he only reached that level after the Illusionary Realm had opened and the Dragon Pearls were all snatched away, what use would it be?

Yi Luo Xiang, Yan Qingying, Ming Xuan, and Po Kong had already begun their seclusion, stepping toward the Amethyst Stage. Xin Yun believed that when he returned three years later, everyone would have entered the Amethyst Stage. As for Luo Fu, who had not left his training, by the time he saw him three years later, he was likely to be a Diamond Stage expert.

The harassment from the Kashi Family had temporarily ceased, and all 108 Stellar War Generals were focused on cultivating within the pot world. These individuals had already reached about the Amethyst Eight-Star level, and when they returned three years later, even if they had not reached the Diamond Stage, they were expected to have reached the Amethyst Ten Stars. By then, the rise of the Sky-opening Sect would truly begin.

After arranging everything, Xin Yun set out alone on his journey. First, he activated the Taiji Diagram and rushed directly to the Western Extreme Sea. The rest of the journey could not be aided by the Taiji Diagram, as Xin Yun was not heading for a specific location, but was searching for traces of the Water Spirit Fruit all along the way. It was impossible to find them by simply zipping back and forth with the Taiji Diagram.

Controlling Yinglong, Xin Yun entered the underwater world, following the Earth's Spirit Veins towards the deep sea. Logically, at the end of this Spirit Vein, there was the possibility of a Water Spirit Fruit growing. However... the path of this Spirit Vein was extremely winding and complicated in the water, and it didn't travel in a straight line. If he didn't start from the beginning, he could easily lose track of the Spirit Vein.

The underwater world was not silent; compared to land, it was actually bustling. Everywhere you looked, there were swimming creatures, fish, shrimp, and even large water-series Giant Dragons.
