Chapter 214: “This Realm, I Won’t Suppress It Anymore!”
Inside the grand hall, everyone continued discussing the situation within the 【Origin Spirit Realm】 for quite some time.
From a certain perspective, the current situation actually echoed the Dao Ancestor’s Maxim, only with the added variable of Chu Huaixu.
“Indeed, the situation is dire.” The First Elder Lu Pan spoke up.
There had already been a Nascent Soul who had seized a body to restart cultivation on the first level. So, what about the second level?
It was certain to be another such individual who had seized a body!
In other words, a Nascent Soul would also appear on the second level.
“In that case...” Everyone’s gaze simultaneously fell upon this young man.
Wasn’t he once again the obvious candidate?
Once more, “if not me, then who”!?
Was the entire burden always to be carried on the shoulders of this single youth?
Facing such a situation, no one had any objections to him using one more 【Fragment of Xuanhuang Origin】.
In the end, it was Xiang Yan who proposed, “Chu Huaixu, it’s best if you enter seclusion early to refine this origin fragment. This matter brooks no delay—procrastination may lead to unforeseen change.”
“Yes, Sect Master,” he replied.
“But before that, this disciple wishes to first visit the Scripture Pavilion to exchange for the second volume of the 《Dao Canon》.”
He looked at everyone and declared loudly:
“This disciple’s realm... is truly getting hard to suppress!”
After transmigrating, Chu Huaixu never dreamed that while still in the mere First Realm, he would accomplish so much.
By normal player level-up pacing, with all this time passed, he should’ve reached at least level 20.
Now, even Xu Ziqing had already cultivated to the Second Realm, Second Heaven, and Big Ice Block had reached Sixth Heaven!
According to Xiang Yan and the others, refining the origin fragment was extremely time-consuming—quickest was one month, slowest two.
Chu Huaixu’s realm was too low, so he was unlikely to be quick.
“After two months in seclusion, Big Ice Block will probably start from Second Realm’s Great Perfection! She might even be at the Third Realm already!” Dead Fox thought.
He didn’t want his Dao Companion to keep being ahead of him in this regard.
At the moment, he still had a huge amount of unused 【Experience Points】!
Moreover, he truly needed a suitable and safe place to cultivate in seclusion.
Because he hadn’t yet finished redeeming his task rewards.
“This journey to the 【Origin Spirit Realm】 was truly a massive harvest.” Chu Huaixu was secretly delighted.
Finally, it was Jiang Zhi who decided that Chu Huaixu would go into seclusion at the Gentleman Temple.
In a moment, Li Chunsong would retrieve the technique for him and directly send him to the Gentleman Temple.
“It’s true that low-level cultivators will experience some realm improvement while refining a fragment of origin,” Xiang Yan added, offering some explanation.
Li Chunsong’s eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this.
What a great topic to gamble on!
Bet on how many Heavens he would break through!
That damned Dead Gambler jumped up at once, began rubbing his hands, and said, “I’ll go get the second volume of the 《Dao Canon》 right away!”
As soon as he finished speaking, his figure vanished—he flew even faster than when chasing Evil Cultivators!
While flying, he kept rubbing his hands faster and faster, his face turning completely red.
Actually, there had been many recent things suitable for betting.
But this brat was about to enter the 【Origin Spirit Realm】, and everyone felt the pressure, a shadow looming over their hearts, so Dead Gambler hadn’t dared to fool around.
But today was clearly a day worth celebrating!
“Open the bets! Open the bets for this seat!”
Li Chunsong quickly returned, handed the jade slip to Chu Huaixu, and urged him to go into seclusion—more anxious than Jiang Zhi, the king of pressure.
Chu Huaixu: “???”
Going to bet on me again, huh!?
He exchanged glances with Han Shuangjiang and Xu Ziqing, then finally stood up and walked over to stand beside Big Ice Block.
He took out the six Mystic-rank techniques he had just acquired from his 【Storage Token】 and handed them all to Han Shuangjiang.
“These were obtained with help from Little Martial Uncle Ancestor. I’ll be in seclusion for a while—you and Little Xu can look through them first. Practice whichever suits you. Give them back to me once I’m out.”
“Mm.” Han Shuangjiang nodded gently.
Now that they had confirmed their Dao Companion relationship, she no longer declined like before. She simply made a mental note of his kindness.
Unexpectedly, before leaving, Chu Huaixu gave her a deep look, and right in front of all the elders, made her heart race as he softly said:
“Wait for me at home.”
Chu Huaixu had never been to the Gentleman Temple of the 【Dao Gate】 before.
It was merely a small Dao temple, nothing particularly special—only that a young Daoist once lived here who later became the world-renowned Dao Ancestor!
Li Chunsong found an empty room for Chu Huaixu and gave him plenty of 【White Flour Fasting Pills】.
“This room is equipped with a Spirit Gathering Array. It's ideal for closed-door cultivation,” he explained.
“Yes, thank you, Sixth Elder.”
“I’ll be off then.” He started rubbing his hands again like a fly.
Chu Huaixu still couldn’t fly and couldn’t freely enter or exit the Inner Sect, so he often had to rely on Li Chunsong to carry him like a “personal mount.”
Who would’ve thought that the mount of the Xuanhuang Champion was actually a Seventh Realm fly?
Once in the room, he sat down on the meditation cushion.
“Being able to cultivate daily in a Spirit Gathering Array—this is luxury.” he thought.
This was basically a cultivation mansion!
“Only... it’s not of much use to me.”
“I, Chu Huaixu, have relied solely on my own effort in my cultivation journey! When did I ever need something like a Spirit Gathering Array!”
With that thought, he opened his 【Character Panel】.
After completing the main quest 【Origin Spirit Realm】, 500,000 【Experience Points】 had already been credited.
In addition, he had 1 free 【Attribute Point】.
Since 【Spirit Embryo Attributes】 couldn’t be manually increased, and his 【Comprehension】 was currently sufficient, he gave it some thought and decisively allocated the point to 【Physique】!
His physical strength immediately surged.
He clenched his fists slightly to test it—he felt immensely powerful.
Then, he glanced over his 【Character Panel】 again.
“Still got 770,000 Experience Points left!”
In the Origin Spirit Realm, he had grown stronger just by breathing. Every so often, he’d receive hundreds of experience points.
Later, he had even sat down to cultivate, and the effect of that was far beyond what this mere Spirit Gathering Array could compare to!
In that place, even someone who rarely trained like him couldn’t help but seize every second.
Now, sitting in the Spirit Gathering Array, he thought: “Cultivate? Even a dog wouldn’t!”
As for the reward of a 【Heaven-grade Mystery Chest】, Chu Huaixu didn’t plan to open it yet.
“Better refine the 【Fragment of Xuanhuang Origin】 first.”
“It should be a power independent of 【Spirit Embryo Attributes】. With Origin Power, the experience needed to level up should decrease.”
“That’ll make things more cost-effective.”
He began refining the world's supreme treasure according to Jiang Zhi’s instructions.
Chu Huaixu first pricked his finger for a drop of blood and dripped it onto the mirror-like fragment.
Then, he channeled his spiritual energy to envelop it completely.
Time ticked away. After about half a stick of incense...
The fragment suddenly began melting rapidly.
A profound and vast aura fully merged into that single drop of blood.
Chu Huaixu used spiritual energy to guide it, opened his mouth, and swallowed the drop of blood.
【Ding! Refine Fragment of Xuanhuang Origin?】
He immediately selected 【Yes】.
The next moment, he felt as if his entire body exploded!
An unimaginably powerful force surged into his limbs and bones in an instant.
As a body cultivator, his flesh was already home to spiritual power—now, this power overflowed and filled him completely!
And after filling him, it surged into his 【Spirit Embryo Secret Store】.
He felt like his Spirit Embryo was about to burst!
“Damn it, it’s about to blow!”
And this wasn’t even Origin Power yet—just the heaven-and-earth spiritual energy it carried.
His character panel’s experience points began to skyrocket.
It soon shot past 800,000!
“Sh*t! If I don’t level up now, my body won’t be able to hold this—I might really explode!”
He immediately pulled out the 【Ziyang Flower】 and 【Ruijin Spirit Herb】 from his storage token.
Every technique beyond the First Realm required the support of some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures before cultivation.
Different techniques required different formulas.
The second layer of the 《Dao Canon》 required these two.
Chu Huaixu chewed them a few times and swallowed them down.
“Tastes like sh*t!”
He wasn’t afraid of pain, nor of his meridians or body bursting from spiritual power—he could recover quickly.
His main concern was damage to his Spirit Embryo, which would require a 【Xuantian Embryo Breathing Pill】!
Chu Huaixu immediately calmed his mind and began cultivating the 《Dao Canon》.
“Huh? Experience required to level up has already decreased?”
“But I haven’t even finished refining yet.”
“Did the system already pre-adjust the 【algorithm】?”
No time to think, he leveled up immediately—get to level 20 first!
But the spiritual energy inside him was still surging—not enough!
He leveled up twice more in one go—straight to level 22.
Only then did the “bursting” sensation ease slightly.
But soon, it felt full again—his body and Spirit Embryo were once more overflowing.
This was essentially a triple-level-up in a short span.
Don’t forget, cultivating the 《Dao Canon》 was extremely painful too.
His skin split instantly, torn and bloody, then rapidly healed—repeating in cycles.
Leveling up three times at once was his current pain tolerance limit—he didn’t feel too bad.
But if he went even higher...
“Damn, so you were lying in wait for me here!” he cursed internally.
Worse yet—he used to prefer short pain to long pain, and would just knock himself out.
But now, refining Origin Power required constant consciousness!
This was an immense torture! Only willpower could support him!
It all came flooding back—like when he first cultivated the 《Sword Refining Art》—that excruciatingly familiar torture!
And this guy had 【Fearless Sword Intent】 on top of that.
“Fine! Bring it on!” Chu Huaixu grit his teeth.
After suppressing his realm for so long, he had been feeling stifled.
In that case—
Then let me ascend!
This realm—damn it—I won’t suppress it anymore!
