Upon hearing the system prompt, Lu Chen did not hesitate and silently chanted in his heart, "Activate."
The moment Lu Chenâs words fell, a refreshing sensation surged in his heart. At once, Lu Chen felt an unprecedented relaxation in his body.
Lu Chen then attempted to absorb the spiritual evil in the air. The next moment, the spiritual evil in the room continuously flowed into his body, and as the spiritual evil entered, Lu Chen realized he indeed no longer felt any pain.
Even without dual cultivation to distract his attention, when the spiritual evil entered his body and consumed the vitality of his cells, there was not a trace of discomfort or pain on his body.
Moreover, he found that seemingly after the spiritual evil consumed his vitality, it generated a strange material. After this material integrated into his body, it made him stronger and expanded the meridians in his body, allowing the spiritual evil to flow more smoothly through him.
Feeling the material generated by the spiritual evil, Lu Chen felt a little odd. He had a sense of familiarity, yet he couldnât recall where he had encountered this type of thing.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Chen decided to give this peculiar material a name.
Lu Chen thought in his heart, letâs call it "Mysterious Material."
As a large amount of spiritual evil surged into Lu Chenâs body, his realm was continuously advancing, and in the room, the spiritual evil of several Deceit Pearls was also rapidly depleting.
Mid-stage Human Realm... Late Stage of Human Realm... Peak of Human Realm...
Just one step away, and Lu Chen could break through to the Spirit Realm.
However, at this moment, Lu Chen clearly felt that he had reached a bottleneck in his realm, and even if he continued to absorb spiritual evil, he could no longer break through. It seemed like he needed an opportunity for breakthrough.
Feeling the continuously strengthening aura emanating from Lu Chen, Bai Qingqing was stunned. She clearly felt that Lu Chenâs formidable presence had surpassed her own, and beneath Lu Chen, she felt immense pressure, indicating that Lu Chenâs realm was now higher than hers.
This is simply unbelievable.
Lu Chen had only taken a little over a month to go from an ordinary person to surpassing her realm. He must have been possessed by an eerie spirit!
Otherwise, how could he absorb spiritual evil so easily when only eerie spirits can absorb it without discomfort?
After Lu Chenâs breakthrough, he adjusted the spiritual evil within his body and then turned his gaze back to Bai Qingqing, who was staring intently at him, her beautiful eyes continuously scrutinizing him. Smiling, Lu Chen said, "I have some good news to tell you."
Bai Qingqing suspiciously asked, "What good news?"
Lu Chen said, "Youâre pregnant."
Hearing this, Bai Qingqingâs mind went blank for a moment, but she quickly realized that pregnancy involves a process and has signs. She didnât even know she was pregnant, so how could Lu Chen possibly know?
Bai Qingqing thought Lu Chen was teasing her and said expressionlessly, "Itâs not easy for a Spirit Martial Artist to conceive offspring."
Seeing Bai Qingqingâs reaction, Lu Chen knew she didnât believe him and said, "In a few days, youâll understand."
After all, she had just become pregnant, and the signs of pregnancy, such as sleepiness, craving sour foods, and morning sickness, had not yet appeared.
At this moment, Lu Chen turned over and lay side by side with Bai Qingqing on the soft couch.
Since his realm had already reached a bottleneck and Bai Qingqing was pregnant, there was no need to continue exhausting her.
Seeing Lu Chen let her off so easily, Bai Qingqing was a bit puzzled. Previously, Lu Chen wouldnât rest until he had exhausted her for one or two hours, but today he let her go so quickly?
Could it be that he broke through, and dual cultivation was no longer effective? Lu Chenâs dual cultivation technique was too incredible, allowing his realm to advance so rapidly, and this technique seemed to have no drawbacks. In this world, no technique comes without drawbacks, as they all absorb spiritual evil for cultivation, and every technique has its downsides.
Either this technique must be of an extremely high grade, or the technique has a very low upper limit.
Bai Qingqing suspected that after reaching a certain realm, this dual cultivation technique would become useless, which is why Lu Chen let her off and didnât continue dual cultivating with her.
At this moment, Bai Qingqing tentatively asked, "What realm are you at now?"
Lu Chen didnât hide it, directly saying, "Peak of Human Realm."
...
Bai Qingqing slightly widened her beautiful eyes, sat up, turned her head to look at Lu Chen with disbelief, "Really?"
Lu Chen turned his head to look at her stunning, shocked face and smilingly said, "Youâre my wife, why would I lie to you?"
Bai Qingqing remained silent. She herself was only at the Mid-stage Human Realm, even with the full support of the Zhen Nan Prince Manorâs resources, yet Lu Chen had taken only a little over a month to reach the Peak of Human Realm from an ordinary person.
At Lu Chenâs cultivation speed, it would take no more than half a year before he becomes a Spirit Realm Spirit Warrior, wouldnât it?
Perhaps not even half a year. Heâs already at the Peak of Human Realm now, and maybe one day soon, heâll reach the Spirit Realm, perhaps in a few days, or next month.
How terrifying exactly is the eerie spirit possessing Lu Chenâs body!
Thinking of this, Bai Qingqingâs eyes were filled with wariness.
Seeing Bai Qingqingâs wary look at him, Lu Chen asked, "What? Are you beginning to suspect Iâm possessed by an eerie spirit again?"
Bai Qingqing coldly asked, "Who exactly are you? You absolutely cannot be Lu Chen."
Even the Grand Ancestor of Zhou and the First Generation Prince Zhen Nan werenât as incredible as Lu Chen, and his realm advancement speed was unprecedented, possibly never to be surpassed.
This truly is not something a human could achieve.
Hearing Bai Qingqingâs words, Lu Chenâs lips slightly curled, and he said, "I told you last time, even if Iâm not Lu Chen, what can you do to me?"
Seeing Lu Chenâs arrogance, Bai Qingqingâs jade fist slightly clenched. When Lu Chenâs realm was lower than hers, she couldnât do anything to him, and even if Lu Chen were possessed by an eerie spirit, because Lu Chen was Prince Zhen Nanâs only heir, they couldnât directly take action against Lu Chen.
And now that Lu Chenâs strength had surpassed hers, she was even more powerless against him. Could it be that this eerie spirit will continue to occupy Lu Chenâs body, living under his identity forever?
If it goes on like this...
It actually doesnât seem so bad?
This current Lu Chen is much more powerful than the previous useless one, and his methods are endless. If he takes control of the Princeâs Mansion, the fate of the Zhen Nan Prince Manor will likely be rewritten.
If it were the previous Lu Chen, once the Prince Zhen Nan dies, the Zhen Nan Prince Manor would probably be quickly ruined by Lu Chen.
Thinking of this, Bai Qingqingâs mind trembled. Could it be that Prince Zhen Nan has figured this out, which is why he claimed Lu Chen wasnât possessed by an eerie spirit?
With Prince Zhen Nanâs strength and experience, how could he not notice that Lu Chen was possessed by an eerie spirit, yet he insisted that Lu Chen wasnât possessed.
Perhaps Prince Zhen Nan saw the value in this eerie spirit and decided to take a gamble.
Who knows, after being possessed by the eerie spirit, Lu Chen might even live a few more days.
