Chapter 402 - 346: Stay Tonight (Part 2)
"Do you want to plant a [Spirit Seed] inside me again?"
The Dead Fox thought for a moment, and this time agreed.
"Alright."
The two entered the room and sat cross-legged facing each other.
Chu Huaixu took a drop of Essence Blood, infused it with a thread of Spiritual Power, and a wisp of Divine Sense.
Lin Zixuan immediately performed a Secret Technique, then opened her small mouth and held it in.
She held it like this, then slowly refined it completely within, establishing a faint connection with Chu Huaixu.
This completed all the preparations before entering the Origin Spirit Realm.
...
...
Night gradually deepened.
Chu Huaixu sat on the mat, opened his task interface.
After the East and West Continent Competition ended, he once again claimed the title of Profound Yellow Leader, naturally allowing him to receive the main storyline mission about the Origin Spirit Realm.
This time, the mission rewards were still very generous.
"A Celestial Level Treasure Chest, plus 1 point of Spiritual Embryo Attribute, and two million Experience Points."
The rewards were similar to the finals of the East and West Continent Competition, except the Experience Points had an additional million points.
Of course, more importantly, as long as he completed the mission, he could also obtain shards of the Profound Yellow Origin.
Chu Huaixu personally guessed that this time it would likely be two pieces!
"Kunlun Cave Heaven would probably bring a piece over," he thought.
He had basically figured out that the so-called Heaven and Earth catastrophe was just a cliché alien invasion.
The so-called alien race was naturally those cultivators from Kunlun Cave Heaven.
The so-called Origin Spirit Realm could be understood as various dimensional points.
If Chu Huaixu lost, the Kunlun cultivators would take away the Origin Fragment and use a Secret Technique to cause dimension collapse.
In this way, it would mean that the Profound Yellow Realm had been breached with a "hole."
This hole would become a future passage for cultivators to descend upon this realm.
What was more complicated was that after producing such a "hole," the cultivators of Profound Yellow Realm actually didn’t know where it was.
Because the Origin Spirit Realm is a very special existence, like a virtual realm, lying between the virtual and real.
This time, Chu Huaixu traveled to Moon Country, which was just the entrance to the second layer of the Origin Spirit Realm.
You can understand it as a "Teleportation Array" being there.
But where the Origin Spirit Realm actually is, no one knows.
Thus, when Kunlun Cave Heaven really invades on a large scale, people can’t preemptively set defenses at certain locations.
Because they simply don’t know where they will descend.
The best way is only one.
That is to guard the Origin Spirit Realm and slaughter the cultivators from the other side!
Direct and brutal!
Chu Huaixu sat on the mat and, upon opening his eyes, noticed someone outside the house.
He opened the door to see Han Shuangjiang standing there, and he smiled and invited her in, asking, "Why didn’t you knock?"
"Afraid you were in meditation cultivation and I might disturb you," said the Big Ice Cube.
Chu Huaixu took her small hand and led her to sit on the bench.
"What’s the matter?" he asked gently.
"Just... can’t sleep and can’t focus on cultivation, wanted to come see you." The Big Ice Cube lowered her head slightly, speaking softly.
"So restless, worried about me?" Chu Huaixu asked with a smile.
"How could I not be worried!" Han Shuangjiang replied testily.
She continued, "I just feel... in such a vast Profound Yellow Realm, there are so many amazing people, so many talented individuals, but why do the most dangerous things, the heaviest burdens, always fall on you every time."
Chu Huaixu inwardly complained, "Yeah, it should’ve been Xiaoxu risking his life!"
Seriously, recruiting a dishwashing brother came at quite a cost!
He shrugged and said, "There’s no choice, this place called the Origin Spirit Realm is just that special."
"Plus, I reckon I can last just until the first three rounds, from a time perspective, it’s unlikely I’ll cultivate to the Seventh Realm before the Fourth Layer of the Origin Spirit Realm opens."
"Not to mention only those above the Eighth Realm are eligible to enter the Fifth Layer."
Although Chu Huaixu had a system backing him, he also considered that upgrades wouldn’t be so fast.
Once cultivation reached the Fifth Realm, it would become quite arduous.
On the system’s side, it would transform into an exponential increase in Experience Points needed for upgrades!
Over the next less than a year, advancing from the Third Realm to Fifth Realm with effort was still feasible.
But the following year, advancing from the Fifth Realm to Seventh Realm Great Perfection would be a bit of a fantasy.
If nothing unexpected happens, the Fourth Layer of the Origin Spirit Realm might still have to be tackled personally by Grandmaster Shen Man.
Unless he receives some incredible fortune, and Experience Points overflow so much they multiply, enabling lightning-speed upgrades.
Upon hearing this, Han Shuangjiang said nothing.
She only remarked, "I bet Junior Brother Xu is probably tossing and turning sleeplessly, and can’t calmly cultivate either."
"He probably feels very guilty."
"Why?" Chu Huaixu wondered.
"Because he knows in his heart that originally, as the destined individual in the Daoist Ancestor’s Proverbs, he should be the one wielding that sword to enter the Origin Spirit Realm. Now it’s become you risking yourself for him, do you think with Junior Brother Xu’s personality, he can peacefully accept this?" Han Shuangjiang replied.
The Dead Fox directly set up a Silence Array before letting loose, "What can be done, he’s just not as capable compared to me!"
After this, he appeared serious, saying, "Actually, these things aren’t important, what’s important is solving the problem of the Heaven and Earth catastrophe, after all, it isn’t just one person’s issue."
"Since I’m the most suited, then I should go."
After uttering these words, Chu Huaixu himself was slightly stunned, wondering if he’d been influenced by the Daoist Sect for too long.
