Chaotic Sword Emperor

Chapter 10 – Huang Yiyun

"Does possessing an Immortal-grade Fate Palace mean one has the qualifications to become an Immortal Emperor?" Su Mu couldn't help but ask, his mind reeling from the revelation of such powerful Fate Palaces.

"No," the Mad Immortal Emperor flatly denied.

"No?" Su Mu's lips twitched. If even the strongest Immortal-grade Fate Palace wasn't enough, what kind of Fate Palace was needed to become an Immortal Emperor?

"A Fate Palace merely proves you have a slight chance. In the three thousand worlds, geniuses are as vast as smoke, but throughout history, how many have actually become Immortal Emperors?"

Su Mu fell silent again. The words were disheartening, yet they only fueled his determination to strive harder. Cultivation was about defying the heavens and challenging the impossible!

"But you're different," the Mad Immortal Emperor suddenly changed his tone, causing Su Mu to crack a smile. Was this praise?

"After that incident, you should know that one can have Twin Fate Palaces, even Triple Fate Palaces. Some once-in-a-millennium freaks possess multiple Fate Palaces in each of their upper, middle, and lower Dantians!"

"Multiple Fate Palaces in all three Dantians!" Su Mu gasped at the thought. How terrifying that would be!

The outside world was far more daunting than he had imagined.

"So, my Fate Palace..."

"Your Fate Palace has now surpassed the Transcendent grade, reaching the Noble grade!" the Mad Immortal Emperor promptly affirmed.

"Noble-grade Fate Palace..." Su Mu pursed his lips and took a deep breath. It was quite impressive, but if a sixfold seventh-grade Fate Palace was only Noble-grade, then the strength of the strongest Immortal-grade Fate Palace was unimaginable.

"Kid, you're still not satisfied with a Noble-grade Fate Palace? Back in my day, I only had a Transcendent-grade Fate Palace."

"I..." Su Mu began with a wry smile, but the Mad Immortal Emperor immediately cut him off.

"Many powerful beings didn't start with strong Fate Palaces. It's through relentless effort that they made their Fate Palaces stronger!"

"And the greatest strength of the Chaos Genesis Record is that it strengthens the Fate Palace in the simplest way!"

"Are you saying my Fate Palace can be upgraded to Immortal-grade?" Su Mu exclaimed, wrapped in a wave of immense surprise.

"Correct, and once you've opened all forty-nine Hidden Veins, each vein's Fate Palace can be upgraded to Immortal-grade!"

"Opening forty-nine Hidden Veins, each capable of becoming an Immortal-grade Fate Palace..." Su Mu repeated to himself, his blood pumping faster with excitement.

"First, strive to open the second Hidden Vein. Once you've gathered a hundred drops of Yuan Liquid, you can open the second vein."

The Mad Immortal Emperor's voice faded away as he returned to his slumber.

"I will do it, I'll open the second Hidden Vein in the shortest time possible!" Su Mu clenched his fists. Even with the help of the Mad Immortal Emperor and the cultivation of the Chaos Genesis Record, he was still far behind the monstrous geniuses of the outside world.

He knew he had to work ten, a hundred, even a thousand times harder to ensure he wouldn't be trampled upon by others in the future. He refused to be anyone's stepping stone again!

Immersed in cultivation, the vital energy from the Ice Spirit Spring continuously flowed into his Sword Vein, the coldness of the spring tempering his meridians!

After one day, five drops of Yuan Liquid had already condensed in his Sword Vein.

"The difficulty of condensing Yuan Liquid has increased significantly after forming the Fate Palace," Su Mu noted, seeing the five drops of Yuan Liquid. He had used the previous ten drops to form his Fate Palace and had to start over.

But after reshaping his Fate Palace, the requirements for condensing Yuan Liquid skyrocketed. Even in such an excellent cultivation environment, he had only managed to condense five drops.

"These five drops of Yuan Liquid are much stronger than before. Not only can they enrich the Sword Vein, but they also provide me with greater strength, ensuring my victory in battle!"

Continuing to cultivate, as long as he condensed ten drops of Yuan Liquid, his cultivation could break through to the second layer of the Fate Palace Realm!

On the other side of the Ice Spirit Spring, two graceful figures approached.

"Miss, are you really going to bathe here?"

"I'm here to cultivate, not bathe!" Huang Yiyun glared at her handmaid, emphasizing her point.

The handmaid stuck out her tongue. What was the difference between cultivating and bathing?

"Stay here and guard. If you let anyone in, I'll spank you!"

"Yes, Miss," the handmaid replied helplessly. They hadn't encountered a soul on their way here, so it would be strange if someone did come.

Huang Yiyun nodded, disrobed, and stepped into the Ice Spirit Spring.

"Ah!" The sudden chill sent a shiver through her, but she quickly immersed herself in the water with a look of bliss.

"Master was right. With the suppression of the Ice Spirit Spring, my cultivation will soar!"

As she cultivated, the water around Huang Yiyun began to bubble, not with cold air, but with steaming heat!

Her eyes closed, her fair skin turned scorching hot, and the heat spread, causing a terrifying rise in temperature. The surrounding Ice Spirit Spring water heated up rapidly!

"I've reached the second layer of the Fate Palace Realm!"

On the other side of the Ice Spirit Spring, Su Mu emerged from the water, his face brimming with joy. He had finally condensed ten drops of Yuan Liquid, breaking through to the second layer of the Fate Palace Realm!

"Now, even those at the fourth layer of the Fate Palace Realm are no match for me, and I could even fight against the fifth layer!"

"Huh? Why is the water temperature rising?" Su Mu frowned, sensing an increase in the temperature of the Ice Spirit Spring, which would greatly reduce the effectiveness of his cultivation.

"The heat is coming from the other side."

Sensing a distinct heat source on the opposite side, Su Mu swam over and parted the dense water plants to see someone cultivating in the Ice Spirit Spring, completely submerged, with steam rising from the water around her.

"When did someone else get here!" Su Mu's heart tightened. He had been too focused on his cultivation to notice someone's arrival. Thankfully, it wasn't one of Su Mocheng's people, or it would have been bad.

Staring at the flushed face, Su Mu's brow furrowed, finding her familiar.

"Crap, it's Yiyun!" He instantly recognized her. Wasn't this Junrou's sister, Yiyun? Huang Yiyun, only two years younger than Huang Junrou, was sixteen and practically his sister-in-law.

"Why is she here?" Su Mu felt incredibly awkward and quickly pretended not to see, retreating. He had already been slandered by Su Mocheng as a lascivious scoundrel; if he were discovered now, he'd be truly beyond redemption.

"Who knows when Miss will finish cultivating." Outside the Ice Spirit Spring, Huang Yiyun's handmaid wandered around bored. Half a day had passed without a single beast in sight, and the silence was unbearably dull.

"Clothes?" The handmaid circled the spring several times before spotting Su Mu's clothes in an inconspicuous spot, her gaze sharpening.

"Men's clothes!"

"Why are there men's clothes here? Could someone be peeping at Miss bathing?" The handmaid's face changed drastically, annoyed at herself for only just noticing, and she hurried back, shouting.

"Miss, it's terrible, someone's peeping at you bathing!"
