Chapter 240: Mid Stage Divine Palace Realm!

Holy Son Peak.

This mountain had always been a place where spiritual energy was especially dense. But now, the concentration of spiritual energy suddenly rose to yet another level.

At the great hall atop the mountain, a torrent of radiant white brilliance surged outward, breaking open the doors of the hall and rushing outside. It cascaded like flowing water, covering the mountaintop before spilling down the cliffs—like a silver river descending from the heavens themselves.

Upon closer inspection, one would quickly realize that this white brilliance was no mere light, but genuine spirit stones, most of them high-grade, even peak-grade spirit stones.

The sheer amount was staggering. Just a glance was enough to make one’s heart tremble. A rough estimate placed the number at tens of millions at the very least—possibly even hundreds of millions!

Even the Profound Sun Holy Land itself could not possibly gather such a colossal fortune in such a short span.

After all, the Holy Land’s spirit stones needed to supply the entire sect. It was impossible to throw this many into a treasury all at once.

At the same time—

Inside the hall, divine light surged. Waves of divine power filled the air.

Countless treasures floated in the void—swords, sabers, spears, halberds, axes, hooks, forks— every kind of armament imaginable, each radiating dazzling brilliance, their sharp auras seemingly able to pierce the very heavens.

And in the midst of it all, Li Xun sat cross-legged, his true essence boiling, his blood and spiritual energy was vast and overwhelming. Energy surged around him, making his robes flutter though there was no wind. He looked like a banished immortal descended to the mortal realm.

His strength was climbing ceaselessly.

It didn’t take long for a terrifying aura to suddenly erupt, as if mountains roared and seas surged. It swept across heaven and earth, so vast that all the protective formations of Holy Son Peak instantly activated.

In that instant, it felt as if a supreme Immortal King had been born. The entire mountain quaked violently, as though it could collapse at any moment beneath the weight of this majesty.

Buzz—!

Li Xun’s eyes snapped open. Within his gaze, one could glimpse mountains collapsing, ages passing, and stars shattering—an utterly terrifying sight, as though his eyes could pierce through the vault of heaven.

"Just after stepping into the early stage of the Divine Palace Realm, before I even had time to properly feel out my new strength, I’ve already broken through to the mid-stage... how careless of me."

Li Xun shook his head and sighed softly.

From the moment he broke through to the Divine Palace Realm within the small world of the Great Strength Divine Demon Sect, to today—it hadn’t even been ten days. And yet, here he was, already breaking through again.

Had he known this would happen, he would have told the system not to grant cultivation when he received the reward earlier.

But now, with more than two hundred years of cultivation power bestowed upon him all at once, he had been forcibly pushed from early-stage Divine Palace into the mid-stage Divine Palace, and was even not far from the late-stage.

"If I had gained just a dozen or so more years of cultivation, I would have already stepped into the late-stage Divine Palace Realm by now."

Li Xun muttered to himself.

The system’s chances of giving cultivation rewards were indeed low. Even though he had invested in so many people inside the small world, the number of times he had received cultivation directly was pitifully few.

It was spirit stones, pills, techniques, and treasures that he had gained in abundance.

Still—if he

had

obtained another dozen years of cultivation, from an outsider’s perspective, it would appear that in less than ten days, he had gone from early stage Divine Palace directly to the late stage Divine Palace Realm.

If such a thing were made public, countless jaws would drop to the ground in disbelief.

"It seems from now on, I’ll need to suppress my cultivation a little."

Li Xun thought inwardly.

Others hid their cultivation to preserve trump cards.

But Li Xun? He would hide his cultivation mostly because he didn’t want to frighten people.

After all, leaping from minor realms to the next one in a short amount of times were fine when it’s still on the lower realm, but now that he was already in the Divine Palace Realm, to still be leaping realms so casually—two or even three stages at once—was far too terrifying.

This would shock the world.

Even someone like Qin Xueyi, a time travel supreme being from the future, couldn’t achieve such a thing—yet he had. Heaven only knew how the outside world would view him if this were revealed.

’If I remember correctly, among the system’s rewards, there was a dao weapon that could conceal cultivation.’

Lifting his gaze toward the boundless sea of spirit stones before him, Li Xun couldn’t help but click his tongue. With so many spirit stones, he had no idea how long it would take to use them all up.

With a wave of his hand through the void, he filled two storage rings to capacity before finally managing to collect the endless mountain of spirit stones, along with the many dao weapons, spiritual treasures, magical treasures, and manuals of cultivation techniques.

At this moment, only three things remained floating before him: a single drop of dazzling golden blood, an ancient jade slip, and a milky-white jade pendant.

Li Xun first picked up the jade pendant and examined it carefully.

This pendant was called the Nebula Jade Pendant. It was formed from two interlocking halves. One half allowed the wearer to become completely invisible—even to those who cultivated powerful eye techniques. The other half concealed one’s aura, rendering spiritual sense unable to perceive it.

Each piece alone was already a high-grade dao weapon. Combined together, they formed a peak-grade dao weapon.

It could be said that this Nebula Jade Pendant was the ultimate weapon for survival, travel, or even murder and plunder. Even a Saint would not be able to see through Li Xun’s true depth without careful scrutiny.

After dripping a drop of blood upon it, Li Xun casually hung the pendant at his waist.

Then—he turned his attention to the final two items.

He first took up the jade slip, sending his spiritual sense into it to study its contents. After a long while, he finally let out a slow breath.

"The Eight Desolations Six Harmonies God-Slaying Halberd Technique... as expected of a Saint King level divine technique. If mastered, it can shatter star rivers. Among my peers, there will be absolutely no opponent. At least until one steps into the Quasi-Emperor Realm, none will be a match."

Murmuring to himself, he carefully stored the jade slip away, his gaze now burning as it fell upon the final treasure—the single drop of golden blood.

Within the Great Strength Divine Demon Sect’s small world, if any of the system’s rewards had truly moved his heart, this drop of Emperor’s Blood was unquestionably one of them.

Back then, just a single drop of black Emperor’s Blood had allowed him to comprehend the Law of Destruction. This golden drop’s effect would be no less extraordinary. After all, both came from Emperors—the difference should not be too vast.

Aside from this blood essence, another reward that had greatly stirred him was—an adult True Phoenix.

It was precisely this reward that made him realize something startling: the system’s rewards were not limited to inanimate objects. On rare occasions, it could even grant living beings.

However, the probability of such a reward appearing was even lower than the chance of receiving cultivation itself—so low, it was practically absurd.

"That True Phoenix, since it’s already an adult... its strength must at least be at the Saint King Realm. It likely won’t take long before it arrives here."

Li Xun rubbed his chin thoughtfully, eyes glimmering with contemplation.

"In the future, if the system rewards enough divine beasts, perhaps I can consider something like... a Nine-Dragon Chariot. Or even a Nine-Phoenix Chariot."

Although the chance of receiving living creatures from the system was dismally low, Li Xun possessed an incredibly long lifespan. Over the course of endless years, gathering nine dragons or nine phoenixes should not be impossible.
