Chapter 102: Breakthrough Innate

In the past two days, Noah Ji had caught wind of the worries plaguing the clan.

Regarding the redirection of the natural Blood Spring, Noah felt he could give it a try.

With his increased vitality, his roots had already spread tens of meters beyond the Ancestral Hall.

Relying on his ability to strengthen his roots, while he couldn’t reach the fertile fields, it wasn’t impossible to slightly alter the underground direction of the Blood Spring.

As for the fierce beasts of Disordered Burial Mountain, Noah was powerless.

If the clan sought his help, he wouldn’t mind sacrificing a bit of vitality.

Though the clan appeared stable now, it lacked a solid foundation and still needed time to develop.

In his dream, Ethan Chen’s face lit up with joy upon hearing this news.

With the Sacred Tree’s assistance, there would be no need to worry about planting Blood Rice.

However, he still needed to plan the new fertile fields tomorrow for the Sacred Tree to inspect.

Night fell, and the moon shone brightly in the sparse sky.

Countless living souls sat under the tree’s shade, quietly absorbing Yin Qi.

Noah’s consciousness drifted through the heavens, marveling at the universe’s wonders and the vastness of the world.

This was one of Noah’s few pleasures.

[Clan member Oliver Chen has broken through to the Innate Realm, Deduction Points +3]

“Hmm?”

The sudden message pulled Noah out of his cosmic reverie. Seeing the notification, he felt a surge of joy.

Oliver Chen had broken through to the Innate Realm.

This was extremely important for the Chen Clan.

The Innate Realm was the pinnacle that ordinary warriors could reach. No matter which mountain they were on, they were considered top-tier warriors.

For instance, the Li Clan had no Innate Realm warriors.

Even the Liu Family, which had been in Disordered Burial Mountain for years, hadn’t produced an Innate Realm warrior.

This showed how rare Innate Realm warriors were.

Most importantly, Oliver was only in his early twenties.

Noah didn’t know much about the outside world, but within the clan and the entire Disordered Burial Mountain, this was considered exceptional talent.

This also meant Oliver had unlimited potential. With enough resources, he might reach even higher realms, like the Inner Qi stage.

In a dark secret chamber, a pair of eyes glowed faintly in the night.

Oliver Chen slowly walked out of the chamber, a rare hint of joy on his usually calm face.

After two months of seclusion, he had finally reached the Innate Realm.

Although he had previously borrowed the power of the Sacred Tree to temporarily reach the Innate Realm, that wasn’t his own strength and not a true Innate Realm.

Only now, after breaking through on his own, did he understand the difference.

The Innate Realm was the fusion of the Body Tempering and Blood Condensation Realms, where tempered muscles and bones merged with Qi and blood, ultimately achieving a state akin to infancy.

Hence, it was called the Innate Realm.

Many Blood Condensation Realm warriors were stuck at this step, unable to comprehend this state.

Fortunately, Oliver had the experience of previously reaching the Innate Realm, which allowed him to break through in just two months.

After breaking through, he felt his lifespan increase and sensed the strength of his Qi and blood. He was stronger than before.

Recalling his battle with Liu Shengrong, Oliver felt fortunate.

Had it not been for Liu Shengrong’s advanced age and reluctance to get injured, he wouldn’t have stood a chance.

But now, it didn’t matter anymore.

Oliver slowly walked out of the secret chamber. Seeing it was already dark, he decided to inform the clan tomorrow.

As he left the chamber, he sensed an invisible shadow ahead.

Though he couldn’t see it, he could feel it now.

“Father? Is that you?”

After Oliver asked, there was a faint response from the shadow.

Oliver spoke joyfully, “Father, I’ve broken through to the Innate Realm.”

Unable to receive his father’s congratulations, Oliver wasn’t saddened. He prepared to sleep and meet his father in his dreams.

In his dream.

Edwin Chen was overjoyed, celebrating Oliver’s breakthrough.

During their conversation, Edwin also told Oliver about recent events in the clan.

However, he didn’t mention anything about marriage.

Oliver might be the clan’s future hope, and an early marriage could hinder his progress.

Those with talent shouldn’t be bound by other things; they should climb higher peaks to see the view from the top.

Father and son talked all night, but the dream world was fleeting, especially now that Oliver had reached the Innate Realm, making the time even shorter.

…

“Good, good, good!”

“Our Chen Clan finally has an Innate Realm warrior!”

“It’s truly the Sacred Tree’s blessing!”

The next day, Ethan Chen’s joyful shouts echoed through the clan.

In no time, the news of Oliver Chen’s breakthrough spread among the clan members.

“Oliver, what’s the difference between the Innate Realm and the Body Tempering Realm?”

“Oliver, tell us about it.”

“Oliver, um, uncle wants to ask you…”

…

Clan members, filled with curiosity, flocked to Oliver’s house.

Oliver didn’t hold back and generously shared his experiences.

If it weren’t for the Clan Chief’s intervention, Oliver’s doorstep would have been trampled.

Considering Oliver was the first to break through to the Innate Realm since the clan’s migration to Disordered Burial Mountain, Ethan decided to have his name engraved in the Ancestral Hall.

The clan members were envious upon hearing this.

That was the Ancestral Hall, and those whose names were engraved there were already deceased.

If possible, they also wanted their names engraved in the Ancestral Hall, so that after death, they could still see it and not worry about having no achievements to speak of in their dreams with future generations.

Many clan members were excited, as the clan finally had an Innate Realm warrior. The Chen Clan was destined to become the top clan in Disordered Burial Mountain.

Many clan members began to work hard, determined to become the second warrior in the clan to break through to the Innate Realm.

Upon learning about the situation in Disordered Burial Mountain, Oliver volunteered to go and kill the Green Wolf.

But Ethan didn’t immediately agree.

Oliver had just entered the Innate Realm, while the Green Wolf might have already reached it. With the advantage of its beastly physique, even warriors of the same realm might not be its match.

Moreover, there were not only the Green Wolf but also its pack in Disordered Burial Mountain, making it even more dangerous.

A more cautious approach was needed.

However, the next day, after Oliver demonstrated the combat skill “Bright Moon Like Frost” and prayed for protection from the Sacred Tree, Ethan no longer hesitated.

Oliver, at the late stage of the Blood Condensation Realm, had broken through to the Innate Realm under the Sacred Tree’s divine power. Now that he was already in the Innate Realm, it was even more assured.

Moreover, Oliver had the Five Organs Ascension Technique. The Innate Realm Green Wolf shouldn’t be a concern.

Considering the wolf pack, Ethan decided to send all the Blood Condensation Realm warriors in the clan, along with several Body Tempering Realm members.

With this, even the wolf pack would be no threat.
