Cultivation Online novel Chapter 1812

"Huh? My cultivation…" Lan Yingying looked at her palms with a bewildered expression on her face.

Yuan raised an eyebrow at the puzzling results. If Lan Yingying only received a portion of the spiritual energy he absorbed, there was no way her cultivation would’ve increased so much.

"If your cultivation increased while mine barely moved, there’s only one explanation… The Supreme Seal completely ignored the Celestial Emperor’s curse!" Yuan exclaimed after coming to this realization.

The Celestial Emperor’s curse on Yuan directly reduced the effectiveness of all spiritual energy he absorbed by a staggering 99 percent. If the curse had worked properly, Lan Yingying would’ve only absorbed a portion of that one percent. Yet, she had a breakthrough while already having a higher cultivation than Yuan—multiple breakthroughs at that.

Wanting to confirm this theory, Yuan consumed another monster core. This time, the monster core belonged to a magical beast at the level of Divine Ancestor.

After consuming the monster core, Yuan’s cultivation made a breakthrough, entering the second level of Spirit Enlightenment. Meanwhile, Lan Yingying’s cultivation soared all the way to the first level of Divine Master, surpassing Feng Yuxiang and Xi Meili, who were still Divine Warriors.

"Heavens! This speed of cultivation is outrageous! It’s heaven-defying! It’s unfair!" Xi Meili exclaimed, her voice trembling with a mix of awe and terror. Compared to what Lan Yingying had just experienced, the thousands of years that she had painstakingly spent cultivating now felt utterly insignificant—pointless, even.

"I guess that confirms my suspicions. The Supreme Seal somehow bypasses the Celestial Emperor’s curse," Yuan muttered in a daze.

"Well, aren’t you lucky, Yingying—" Feng Yuxiang began, turning toward her with a playful tone, but her words caught in her throat mid-sentence.

"Yingying? Are you okay?" Feng Yuxiang asked, her expression shifting to one of concern as she noticed Yingying’s pale complexion and unsteady stance.

Lan Yingying nodded slightly, her movements slow and unsteady. "I suddenly feel a little nauseous," she admitted, her voice soft. "I think it’s because my cultivation increased so much, so quickly. My body’s struggling to adjust."

"Oh, yeah, that’s actually quite normal." Feng Yuxiang said.

"Really? I’ve never experienced anything like that," Yuan casually remarked.

Feng Yuxiang shook her head with a slight smile. "How can you compare yourself to us, Young Master? There’s a reason most people take the time to adapt to their new cultivation after a breakthrough. If we rush cultivation like a madman, it would actually harm us instead."

"What about Yingzi?" Xi Meili asked.

"Her body is already adapted since this isn’t her first time reaching that level."

"That makes sense…"

"Sorry, Yingying. This is my fault." Yuan apologized to her.

"No, it’s fine. I just need some time to adapt."

After saying that, Lan Yingying sat on the ground and began to circulate her Dantian to speed up the process.

"Even though I can increase their cultivation rapidly through the Supreme Seal, I shouldn’t be too extreme or hasty," Yuan muttered softly, almost as if he were reminding himself.

Over the next three days, Lan Yingying spent all of her time adjusting to her new cultivation. Meanwhile, Yingzi continued to increase her cultivation, reaching the peak of Spirit King.

After three days had passed, Sect Leader Bao made his long-awaited announcement through the communication jade slip he gave to everyone with a slot.
