The entire Spirit Ascension Hall was enveloped in a massive array barrier, with numerous guards outside, heavily guarded.
Carson Flores led the group of Majestic Sect disciples to the entrance of the Spirit Ascension Hall and took out the Cultivation Certificate for the Military Merit Reward.
The guards at the entrance calmly verified them one by one, then exchanged a token for everyone.
Carson noticed that these tokens looked the same, but their aura sensing varied.
"All the rooms inside the Spirit Ascension Hall are communal. As long as the door is open, you can enter and cultivate. Once inside, close the door; the room’s formations will shield you, allowing you to cultivate in peace without any disturbance."
"You only need to focus on your cultivation; there’s no need to watch the time. The tokens I gave you have a time record. When your cultivation time is up, it will notify you half an hour in advance. When the time ends, the door will automatically open. Just come out and return the token, and you can leave."
"Remember, once the time ends, you must not remain inside without reason, or you will be considered to have violated military regulations and be subjected to corresponding penalties!"
Everyone agreed in unison: "Yes!"
"Go in then!"
Everyone entered the Spirit Ascension Hall, and at the end of the corridor was a barrier.
Carson and the others held their tokens, which emitted a gentle glow, enveloping them. Then all of them lightly passed through the barrier and entered the Spirit Ascension Hall.
Corridors stretched parallelly into the distance, and on both sides of each corridor were cultivation rooms, each not very large, about two meters in length and width. There were splendid formation patterns on both the floor and walls.
Since the guards at the entrance said that the effects of all rooms were the same, Carson was too lazy to explore further and directly chose an empty room at the corner, entering and closing the door behind him.
As the door closed, the formation patterns on the door and the walls instantly connected, initiating the formations in the room, and the surroundings fell silent almost instantly.
Carson did not waste time, sitting cross-legged in the circle at the center of the room, then began cultivating with his Cultivation Technique.
At first, the Spiritual Energy did not seem dense, even insufficient for Carson’s absorption speed. However, as time passed, a mist began to form in the room.
The Mist of Spiritual Energy!
The entire room was filled with pure Spiritual Energy, like a dense white mist, growing thicker until Carson’s silhouette vanished completely.
Carson distinctly felt the concentration of Spiritual Energy around him growing, giving him the sensation of being completely submerged in pure Spiritual Energy.
The speed of absorbing Spiritual Energy increased rapidly, like a snowball tumbling down a mountain, quickly gathering into a massive snowball, eventually causing an overwhelming avalanche.
The Five Elements Path Crystals in Carson’s Sea of Consciousness began to glow, and as the crystals responded, the influx of Spiritual Energy grew even more frenzied.
Carson was taken aback; what was happening?
The efficiency of converting Spiritual Energy into Spiritual Power was astonishing!
The operation of all five Path Crystals felt like multiple turbochargers had been activated!
If the normal rate of conversion was like a single water pump operating, Carson’s Five Elements Path Crystals felt like five pumps working together, complemented by the Five Elements in motion, equivalent to adding turbochargers to these pumps. How much faster could this speed get?
Carson grew excited, realizing the unexpected advantage of the Five Elements Path Crystals!
Carson pondered the reason and found an explanation.
On ordinary days, the amount of Spiritual Energy available was more than enough for a single pump, not requiring full capacity or additional pumps.
Now, the amount of Spiritual Energy in the Spirit Ascension Array was astonishing, almost condensing into Spiritual Liquid, with such concentration pouring in, causing the Five Elements Path Crystals to operate at full capacity, frantically drawing in Spiritual Energy.
Great!
This is fantastic!
Carson instinctively recalled Carradine’s words: normally, a Lower Grade Grand Luo Initial Immortal in the Spirit Ascension Array for six months might rise to a Lower Grade Peak. With his current rate of Spiritual Energy absorption, his growth should be several times faster. Could two months be enough to push his strength to the Lower Grade Peak?
Carson was excited.
If he could push his strength to the Lower Grade Peak, he also had the Heavenly Immortal Lotus Seed given by the Hall Master. He might break through to the Middle Grade all at once!
If he advanced to the Middle Grade, his Combat Power would dramatically increase again. He might easily handle even a Superior Grade Great Land and possibly defeat most of them.
He steadied his mind, giving it his all!
Carson calmed his thoughts, no longer indulging in wild imaginations, emptying his mind, and turning himself into a Spiritual Energy absorption machine, voraciously consuming Spiritual Energy.
In the Spirit Ascension Hall’s control room, various formations intermingled, their lights dazzling.
Many staff members were at their posts, monitoring the operations of the entire Spirit Ascension Hall.
The light in front of a young man suddenly flickered, like a light bulb about to go out.
"What’s happening?"
A coarse male voice echoed: "The Spirit Ascension Array in House A-27 is experiencing anomalies. Check what’s wrong."
The young man inserted a spell into the formation before him, and a scene abruptly burst forth from the formation, unrolling like a scroll before his eyes.
As he observed the room, the young man routinely asked, "What sort of anomaly?"
The coarse male voice answered, "The speed of Spiritual Energy flow is too fast, already seven to eight times that of a normal room, leading me to suspect a problem with the formation in House A-27, causing a Spiritual Energy leak..."
The young man furrowed his brows: "Seven to eight times? Have you checked elsewhere?"
The coarse male voice replied, "I’ve checked all the external formations and transmissions; no issues found. The problem must lie within the room."
The young man tapped on the image before him, which instantly enlarged, becoming more distinct.
He furrowed his brows, leaning in to scrutinize the room’s situation, gradually revealing astonishment on his face.
He rubbed his eyes, seemingly worried about seeing falsely, and after a careful reexamination, his eyes suddenly filled with shock.
He stood up, called out, "Team Leader! There’s a situation!"
A middle-aged man with a composed demeanor turned: "What is it?"
The young man eagerly reported, "The person in House A-27 is absorbing Spiritual Energy at an extraordinary rate, at least seven to eight times that of a cultivator of the same realm!"
The middle-aged man’s face displayed shock: "Who is this impressive?"
The young man promptly responded, "I’ll check right away!"
In no time, the young man raised his head: "Carson Flores, Captain of the Ninth Team Third Squad of the First Legion!"
The man in black raised an eyebrow: "Him?"
