Hong Yu had made up his mind to cultivate the Nine Refinements of the Primordial Spirit, and he wasn't about to hesitate.
Only one day remained before the end of the assessment in the Abyssal Mountain Range. If he missed the deadline and failed to return, he would lose his chance to enter the Cyan Nether Sword Sect. But upon his return, he would certainly face interrogation—or even coercion—from the powers backing the Ten Great Celestial Prodigies. Thus, increasing his strength as quickly as possible had become a pressing matter.
Fortunately, after two consecutive days of life-and-death battles, Hong Yu's cultivation had become more consolidated. Moreover, he had successfully guided Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi into his Lower Dantian, so breaking through from the Late Ninth Layer to the Peak Realm shouldn't be an issue.
Once he reached the Peak of the Ninth Layer of the Essence Realm, he could finally begin cultivating the Nine Refinements of the Primordial Spirit.
