Chapter 159 - 158 Primordial Realm

Morning!

[Five times the happiness, reward of 1700 skill points, Famous Spring Water bonus 680 points.]

Whoa!

The base points have reached 1700 points.

Back when Su Yun broke through to the sixth grade, it only increased by 250 points, this time it has doubled.

Imagine if she reaches the fourth grade, the third grade...

Just thinking about it made him excited.

But... Su Yun’s talent is really average. Despite consuming so many pills recently, and with him using spiritual power to help her remove impurities from her body, he almost fed her the Cloud Soaring Technique mouth to mouth.

That’s how she reached the fifth grade.

Reaching the fourth grade afterwards... not to mention the third grade, who knows what it will cost?

Thinking about this made all the joy dissipate, it was quite a headache!

"No, I have to go!"

Going to Yan Province, he initially rejected the idea.

But there’s no way around it, he would need more and more skill points later, so Su Yun’s cultivation must be improved for it to be enough.

Moreover, he had a guess in his heart, once the rebel army establishes a nation, a war might break out again.

In current circumstances, even if the first grade isn’t everywhere, there are quite a few.

The second grade is really not sufficient.

Moreover... there’s something above the first grade.

Because some days ago, a battle suddenly broke out in the Great Xia Imperial Palace, and within moments several palaces were destroyed.

Those who dared to make a move in the Great Xia Imperial Palace, even if brainless, know it was a first grade.

According to the news released, several figures were seen at that time.

Finally, a golden palm appeared over the Great Xia Imperial Palace, instantly suppressing everyone.

The next day,

The Great Xia announced that the Commander-in-Chief of Jingzhou allied with the commanders of three other provinces to defy the order, and was subsequently suppressed by Your Majesty.

One must know what strength level Gu Xiu was, he was top-tier even among first grades.

Not to mention the other three of similar level.

For the Emperor of Great Xia to suppress four first grades with a mere wave of the hand, this strength... clearly surpasses the first grade.

"There’s half a month left until the Nine Revolutions Secret Technique can transform, hopefully it will succeed then!"

At this stage, changing cultivation technique is impractical.

It’s time-consuming, laborious, and wastes skill points.

Unless it is a last resort situation, he won’t change the cultivation technique.

...

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

In the rear courtyard’s hall, Chen Xuan was having breakfast with several women.

This was a tradition of the Chen Family.

Listening to the five women chatting idly, he was a quiet observer, though he occasionally chimed in.

It was very homey and warm.

Only at this time could he feel a bit of human touch.

However, today he seemed a bit distracted, according to his calculations, the cooldown for Nine Revolutions Secret Technique should be over.

After quickly eating a few bites, he stood up and said, "Today I will be in the side room all the time. If I don’t come out, you don’t have to call me."

"Go ahead!"

Su Wanqiu said softly.

"Okay!"

Chen Xuan nodded and then headed to the side room.

...

In the side room, Chen Xuan sat cross-legged.

At this time, his mind was calm like water.

"Let’s start!" he said lightly.

"Divine Techniques, transform!"

The next moment, the scene changed, and the familiar purple space appeared.

Looking up, the words Nine Revolutions Secret Technique (Cultivation Level) shone brightly in gold once again.

"Transform, Nine Revolutions Secret Technique (Cultivation Level)!"

Chen Xuan shouted, and then the little golden figure appeared, staring intently at the little figure.

"It must succeed!"

At this moment, he also became nervous, if it fails, he has to wait another half month to transform, which is too time-wasting.

If the transformation succeeds, even if skill points are inadequate, he can cultivate by himself.

The improvement in strength will be much faster than now.

As time passed, the little golden figure was covered in purple lines, more than any previous attempt.

"Why is it not done yet!"

It’s been over an hour probably, and Chen Xuan was getting more and more anxious.

Moreover, the purple space did not vibrate.

"Could it be that it’s going to fail?"

Just as he speculated, the purple space abruptly vibrated.

Immediately all the previous worries vanished, his expression turned excited, this is... about to succeed!

In the next moment,

’Bang!’ he was kicked out of the purple space.

"Transformation successful!"

"Divine transformation cooldown, duration half a month!"

"Nine Revolutions Secret Technique successfully transformed into Primordial Realm! Next transformation requires three months of wait!"

The mechanical voice echoed in his mind.

"Primordial Realm!"

He quickly summoned the panel, and fixed his gaze at the cultivation technique section.

[Cultivation Technique: Nine Revolutions Secret Technique (Primordial Realm (0/200000))]

"Gasp—"

Though he was prepared, seeing that long string of zeros in the progress, Chen Xuan couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

His gaze moved to the end.

[Skill Points: 80565]

Phew—

Based on the current rate of 2380 points a day, he would need more than a month to accumulate enough skill points for the upgrade.

But finally solved the cultivation technique issue, as for other problems, he would just have to endure gradually.

"Thank you for your hard work!"

He looked down at his most beloved brother.

...

The next day!

Chen Xuan went to the City Lord’s Mansion to find Xuan Er.

In the study room.

"Have you thought it through?"

Xuan Er sat upright in the chair and asked calmly, without looking up, his gaze remained on the book in his hand.

"Does the blessing from the heavens after the ritual give everyone a chance?"

What Chen Xuan cared about most now was this; he wasn’t too concerned about these so-called blessings.

So he needed to get a clear answer on this.

If there were conditions, it would be useless to take Su Yun along.

"Swish swish!"

Xuan Er turned a page and continued reading, "According to the records from when the Great Xia was founded, after the ritual, there will be a Spiritual Treasure to stabilize the national fate, and at that time, the heavens will also intervene."

"After it’s successfully stabilized, the heavens will bestow blessings in the form of Spiritual Qi rain. The more you absorb, the more benefits you get!"

"But there’s a condition, the age must be under thirty! Beyond that, thunder will strike directly, and regardless of what grade, under the thunder, you’ll be reduced to ashes!"

"So you’re saying it’s a matter of snatching?"

If that’s the case, he continued to ask, "If I snatch it and don’t use it myself, is it allowed to let others absorb it?"

This needs to be clarified.

Don’t want it to end up like what Xuan Er just described, where someone over thirty snatches the Spiritual Qi rain and gets struck dead by thunder, that would be terrible.

At this point, Xuan Er put down the book in his hand and asked somewhat puzzledly, "Who are you planning to give it to? Do you know, this kind of Spiritual Qi rain isn’t formed by ordinary Spiritual Qi, according to the records, it’s the most primitive kind of Spiritual Qi from heaven and earth, not only can it nourish the body, it also has a strong effect on the sea of consciousness."

However, despite this explanation, Chen Xuan remained very calm and, instead, confidently said, "Disciple thinks these are secondary, after all, talent speaks for itself, right?"

Uh—

Xuan Er was stunned. Such words were always what he said to others.

Unexpectedly, now someone dared to talk about talent in front of him.

Now he could understand Ye Yilan’s feelings.

"You silly boy!"

Xuan Er playfully scolded, but in his heart, he was very pleased. Geniuses are always confident and proud.

He really liked Chen Xuan’s personality, at least he was such a person.

"Alright then, I, as your mentor, won’t interfere. You can decide whom to give it to as long as you snatch it, but let me give you a heads up in advance, cultivation of the Third Grade won’t be enough!"

"Prepare yourself mentally for that!"

After the recent victories of the righteous army in the four provinces over the Great Xia, many hidden sects have come out and joined the righteous army.

According to the information he received, there are only a few of First Grade among them, most are Second Grade and Third Grade.

But even so, it’s pretty terrifying.

"Under thirty, there shouldn’t be any First Grade, right?" Chen Xuan asked.

"That’s unlikely. If there were a First Grade under thirty, I’d appear very incompetent." Just like Chen Xuan, Xuan Er was very confident in himself.

"Then it doesn’t matter. As long as there are no First Grades!"

Chen Xuan shrugged, looking very relaxed.

"Oh...?" Xuan Er was a bit surprised. From the way he looked, he didn’t take Second Grades seriously at all.

This kid is getting more and more arrogant!

"Hehe!" Chen Xuan laughed without further explanation.

"Alright, since you’ve made up your mind, go ahead. I’ll inform you when it’s time to set off." Xuan Er then picked up the book again, waving his hand, signaling that he could leave.

After paying his respects, Chen Xuan slowly walked out of the study, softly closing the door behind him.

As he left the City Lord’s Mansion, a familiar figure appeared in front of him.

Ye Jincen.

Today, she was wearing a white gauze dress, with her long black hair flowing down her back, giving off a refreshing vibe.

"Long time no see!"

Chen Xuan slowly walked over, smiling as he greeted.

"Mm!"

Ye Jincen slightly nodded, still as cold as ever.

"Come to the Chen Mansion sometime. Su Yun said he misses you."

"Mm, I’ll come tomorrow!"

Chen Xuan was stunned at first, then quickly nodded, "Alright!"

"I’m leaving now!"

"Okay!"

Still as reserved with words.

After Chen Xuan’s figure disappeared, a trace of disappointment appeared on Ye Jincen’s face.

This wasn’t a coincidental encounter; she had sensed Chen Xuan’s presence and waited here on purpose.

But—

After Ye Jincen left, Ye Yilan, who had been watching from a distance, helplessly shook his head and sighed.

His precious daughter’s personality was too aloof.

With such a cold demeanor, what man would find her appealing!

He, as a man, understood this all too well!

...

At the Chen Mansion,

In the back hall illuminated by several smokeless oil lamps, the whole area was as bright as day.

The round table was mostly filled with delicious dishes prepared by Su Wanqiu.

One must admit, her skills now were no less than the chefs at the Ink Lotus Pavilion, even surpassing them in some specialties.

"Try this fish, sent over specifically from the Ink Lotus Pavilion by Yue Nan’s sister today, supposedly worth hundreds of silver coins!" Su Wanqiu picked up a piece of fish and placed it in Chen Xuan’s bowl.

"Let me have a taste!"

Chen Xuan savored it, picking up the fish and putting it in his mouth.

Fresh! Tender! Smooth!

"Not bad! The fish is excellent, the skills even more so!" Chen Xuan complimented enthusiastically.

"Is it really that good? Let me try!" Upon hearing his high praise, Su Yun quickly grabbed a piece with his chopsticks and started eating.

"Mm... it’s delicious, sis!" he said, looking at Su Wanqiu, "Your skills are improving!"

"Everyone, try it!"

Then, Chen Xuan gave a piece to Pei Yuenan, Ji Keren, and Liu Rushi each with his chopsticks.

Of course, he personally fed a piece of fish to Su Wanqiu as a reward for her.

"Mine, mine!"

Su Yun pouted, clearly dissatisfied!
