Chapter 363 - 323: The Female State Preceptor Arrives in Person
At this moment, Chu Huaixu’s [physique] officially reached 8 points!
In an instant, he felt his fists become harder.
Of course, it’s not just the fists that have hardened.
His health bar, defense, the power of the flesh, and so on, have all been comprehensively and significantly strengthened!
"Just as I expected, the later you go with special attribute points, each point increased gives a bigger boost!" Chu Huaixu was somewhat excited.
The reason he could guess this was purely because he always felt: comprehension 9 was still within human limits, but someone like Xiaoxu with comprehension 10, didn’t feel human anymore!
Having just officially embarked on the road of cultivation, he could autonomously complete the incomplete version of [Six Out of Seven], is this damn human?
After bumping his physique to 8 points, Chu Huaixu now felt the power of his flesh was frighteningly strong!
"Damn, won’t this make the Ancestor Emperor drool?" he thought.
Which person wanting to possess this kind of superb body could resist?
He was so narcissistic that he started to empathize with these people: if it were me, I couldn’t resist either!
Compared to him, Qin Xuexiao’s small frame was not even worth comparing.
Chu Huaixu clenched his fists hard, carefully feeling the violent power contained within.
"This time, I’ve become at least 30% stronger!"
His gaze sharpened, becoming more confident for the upcoming competition.
"Besides the significant increase in the power of the flesh, as my physique strengthens, the duration of body refining divine techniques should also be prolonged," Chu Huaixu thought.
Today, watching the battle between Han Shuangjiang and Qin Xuexiao, his biggest impression was: the world’s protagonists are really full of special effects.
Luckily, I got body refining divine techniques from the Celestial Level Treasure Chest that day, otherwise, he really wouldn’t have anything [special effects] worthy of showing off.
This is absolutely intolerable for players.
After all, each generation has new gods, strength is temporary, but coolness lasts a lifetime.
After experiencing the powerful force contained within his body, he was quite satisfied with the enhancements in various aspects.
More importantly, as long as he wins the next match, Chu Huaixu can earn 1 free special attribute point.
By that time, he could bump his physique to 9.
The mere thought of it was already somewhat exciting.
....
....
During the two days of rest, all sides were making their final preparations.
At the Sword Sect, the Sword Venerable was giving Geng Tianhe special training.
He opened his sword domain for him to comprehend.
But how much he could comprehend in just two days depended solely on his comprehension and fortune.
Meanwhile, at Prince Rui’s Mansion, Qin Xuexiao was also diligently cultivating.
The Ancestor Emperor began personally guiding him.
Originally, his recent "tutor" was the Ninth Realm Fifth Heaven [National Guardian] of Moon Country.
But on the Ancestor Emperor’s instructions, the Moon Emperor no longer allowed the [National Guardian] to continue.
What can a mere Ninth Realm Fifth Heaven teach?
Great Perfection in the Ninth Realm is entirely different from an ordinary Ninth Realm.
In my prime, I could wipe him out with one palm!
After about an hour, the meditating Qin Xuexiao slowly opened his eyes, his face full of ecstatic joy.
A mysterious and extreme power had sprouted in his body, it was the spear heart the Ancestor Emperor helped him create!
"Don’t be too happy yet, this is just a pseudo realm."
"There’s a long way to go before you can solidify a real spear heart," said the Ancestor Emperor.
However, in his view, this path... you probably won’t even reach it.
The overall situation is quite dire at this moment.
The fact that he is still alive has also been known to East Continent Mirror Country.
So, time is tight.
He will find a way to help Qin Xuexiao win the top position.
When he enters the second level of the Origin Spirit Realm, he will help out directly.
After refining the power of origin, the Ancestor Emperor will immediately proceed with possession, unable to wait for him to cultivate to the Seventh Realm.
As for the four threads of divine thought that seemed to fall into Chu Huaixu’s hands, he’ll figure out a way to get them back then.
If force can be used, then force will be used.
If that’s not an option, then conditions will be negotiated.
In such a vast Moon Country, what could possibly be out of reach?
"The great calamity of heaven and earth is approaching, my restoration of cultivation is ultimately beneficial for the entire situation."
After a while, he asked Qin Xuexiao, "Has the spirit pill I asked you to find for refining been prepared?"
"Ancestor, it’s been ready for a long time," Qin Xuexiao answered.
"Good, in the next match, if you draw Xu Ziqing or Chu Huaixu, take a pill before getting on stage, at that time, just relax your mind, don’t resist, I will secure this match’s victory for you," he said lightly.
"Yes, many thanks to the Ancestor!" Qin Xuexiao replied excitedly.
But deep in his eyes, something flashed imperceptibly.
It was a trace of guard, and deep-seated dread.
...
...
Two days passed quickly.
Xiaoxu was in seclusion for most of the two days.
Until now, his cultivation was only at the Third Realm Sixth Heaven.
He was the only contestant in the top four, and even in the top thirty-two, who hadn’t reached Third Realm Great Perfection.
This point was often buzzworthy for many.
Over the past two days, Xu Ziqing had consumed quite a few elixirs, attempting to break through the bottleneck but ultimately to no avail.
Although he is an Innate Medicine-Striking Saint Body, his Spiritual Embryo aptitude is exceedingly subpar, so inevitably his advancement is held back.
Chu Huaixu sometimes wonders: "Under normal circumstances, will Xiaoxu ever cultivate beyond the Seventh Realm in this lifetime?"
This also led him to understand, no wonder the fourth floor of the Origin Spirit Realm requires his master to confront; no wonder Shen Man would die in there.
Thus, the semifinals of the East and West Continent Competition officially commenced.
The martial arts arena at the Cultivation Hall was crowded with a dense array of spectators.
Some cultivators, who had no permission to enter, would gather nearby, then utilize their Divine Sense to investigate the circumstances at the martial arts arena.
The Cultivation Hall didn’t set up any arrays to isolate the Divine Senses.
After all, it was one of the greatest events of the East and West Continent, providing more participatory excitement for everyone.
And on top of the high platform, many grandmasters had already taken their seats early.
The Old State Preceptor, Ming Xuanji, remained as usual, always arriving exceptionally early.
Chu Huaixu’s take on this was: "A person with one foot in the grave doesn’t need much sleep."
The saying goes: There’s no need to sleep much during your life; in death, you will sleep long.
Anyway, this old geezer probably won’t be far from eternal rest.
But shortly thereafter, commotion erupted within the crowd.
A brawny man clad in golden armor, resembling an awe-inspiring general, descended slowly from the sky.
"The National Guardian has arrived!"
"The National Guardian has actually come in person!"
This was none other than Xiahou Yue, currently the most formidable figure of the Moon Country, a Great Cultivator at the Ninth Realm Fifth Heaven.
The tradition held that each successive National Guardian of Moon Country would have their name changed to include the character ’Yue’ (Moon).
The surname, however, remains unchanged.
Becoming a National Guardian is an honor for your entire clan!
It’s said that the family registry should open a new page, and that’s considered modest.
Upon his appearance, Chu Yinyin and others couldn’t help but furrow their brows.
After all, before the preliminaries of the East and West Continent Competition, it was he who, high above the Nine Heavens, suppressed others, preventing Nangong Yue and Chu Yinyin from stopping Niu Yuanshan’s suicide.
"That damned thing, flaunting his power like this, it just infuriates me!" Chu Yinyin cursed inwardly.
From his appearance alone, Xiahou Yue indeed exuded a commanding presence typical of a famous general on the battlefield.
The golden armor he wore symbolized his status.
Sitting there with an imposing demeanor, he indeed appeared majestic.
What’s more, Xiahou Yue, after descending from the sky, seated himself directly on the chair. After sitting down, he simply turned his head and gave a slight nod to the Sword Venerable and others, thus greeting them.
Such has been his customary way.
But as the Moon Country’s most obvious supreme power, standing at the pinnacle of a nation, he truly held the privilege to look down upon the world.
After some time, a cyan streak of light flew in from a distance.
The newcomer was the Cultivation Hall’s rear mountain Mountain Master, Zhuge Boyue, a powerhouse of the Ninth Realm Third Heaven.
This person, however, was advanced in age, with limited lifespan, estimated to have only a few years left.
The Moon Country indeed faced a certain shortage of high-end strength.
In fact, Ming Xuanji was initially expected with great hopes to take over the position of the Mountain Master.
But alas, he was absorbed in divination, attempting to perform heavenly duties with merely a mortal form.
Despite being younger than Jiang Zhi, he appeared older than the Mountain Master himself.
It was still uncertain which of the two would pass away first.
Particularly after the emergence of Chu Huaixu as this variable, it seemed... Ming Xuanji’s chance to "outrun" had increased?
Apart from him, there was also another headache-inducing Great Cultivator, the leader of Deviation, Cheng Yuyan.
This person was also now sitting atop the high platform.
Though a native of the Moon Country, he frequently conducted his activities in the East Continent Mirror Country, spending more time there instead.
As a Loose Cultivator, he had no obligations or attachments.
Overall, his stance leaned more toward the neutral side.
Furthermore, this person enjoyed manipulating people’s minds, making him difficult to handle.
Totally a non-compliant figure.
The Moon Country’s attitude towards him was not to expect much contribution, but simply not to aid the East Continent Mirror Country.
But on the grander scale of things, Cheng Yuyan tended to lean toward the Moon Country.
And before the draw officially started, yet another woman descended from the sky.
As soon as she appeared, the crowd stirred slightly.
"Oh! Even the State Preceptor has come?"
"Isn’t the State Preceptor usually unconcerned with worldly matters?"
"How could even the State Preceptor be alerted!"
The female State Preceptor, Lin Qingci, flew to seat herself beside the Old State Preceptor, Ming Xuanji.
She remained barefoot, yet appeared dignified and elegant.
The State Preceptor’s robe draped over her added an untouchable air.
Despite her full and mature figure.
It seemed as if harboring illicit thoughts about her would be sacrilege!
Upon seeing the female State Preceptor, Chu Huaixu couldn’t help but take a deep look at her, recalling the intimate scenes from that day within the Emperor’s Pool.
The impassioned look on her face that day, the lingering and dreamy gaze, the moistly parted red lips, and the "muddied" sensation on her body, with a touch of allure...formed a stark contrast with her current demeanor.
After Lin Qingci sat down, her gaze immediately fell upon Chu Huaixu.
She didn’t even bother concealing it and just stared at him fixedly.
The drawing officially began.
