Spiritual Qi Revival: Chen Du Takes the Lead and Seizes Heaven-Defying Resources!
Chen Du found an extremely deep natural cave with walls made of obsidian as hard as steel. There was the sound of water underground and no sunlight overhead.
He sat cross-legged in the cave and set up several layers of concealment spells until he was sure that no external aura could seep in, before taking out the Golden Fruit from his bosom.
The fruit radiates a warm light in my palm; its peel is as translucent as glass, and golden sap seems to flow slowly inside.
Without further hesitation, he took a bite.
The fruit melted in his mouth, flowing down his throat and into his stomach. In the next instant, it felt as if a sun had been cast into his body.
A massive amount of Evolution Factors exploded within the meridians, surging wildly along every inch of flesh, every fascia, and every bone.
The Evolution Factor within him was just one step away from being fully realized.
This kick has finally made up for it.
Boom!
A muffled, loud thud came from Chen Du's body, as if some kind of restriction had been broken.
His physical body began to undergo drastic changes!
The golden lines beneath the skin reappeared, this time not just appearing, but moving under the skin like living things. Wherever they passed, the flesh and bones there were strengthened in an incredible way!
Chen Du's pores were open.
Countless tiny, dark golden specks of light, like stardust, overflowed from his body and then quickly receded, repeating this process repeatedly, like a star being forged repeatedly!
After an unknown amount of time, that force finally calmed down.
Chen Du slowly opened his eyes, feeling incredibly light all over, as if his body was no longer bound by the earth.
He stood up, and with a slight movement, shot into the sky like an arrow released from a bow.
The rock formations overhead shattered with a deafening roar, followed by the mountainside, and then vast expanses of clouds.
Chen Du soared into the sky in one breath, the wind receding into a thin line beside his ears, the sky changing from azure to deep blue, and then to deep black.
He still felt that the most obvious effect of this evolution was the increase in power.
At the same time, there is also a significant increase in speed.
He passed through the atmosphere and truly entered the universe.
Cold, silent, eternal darkness.
But he felt no discomfort whatsoever. His physical body was a world unto itself, and the Evolution Factors within him continued to operate in the vacuum, even more actively than when he was on Blue Star.
He floated among the stars, gazing at the azure planet beneath his feet, and felt an unprecedented sense of freedom and vastness welling up within him.
This is the power of the Seventh Tier factor route: the physical body can traverse space, unafraid of the extreme cold and vacuum of the universe.
Freedom Realm freedom and ease, no longer confined to any particular planet!
He glanced down at the panel, and sure enough, it had been updated.
[Name: Chen Du]
[Realm: Pseudo-Eighth-Order Evolver - Martial Dao Martial Position Realm / Seventh Tier Evolver - Factor Direction - Early Stage of the Freedom Realm / Pseudo-Eighth-Order Evolver - Immortal Dao Direction -Body Integration Stage]
[Current Status: True Spirit Returns]
[Special Reminder: This refers to the Factor Direction, the Freedom Realm, which completely breaks through the limitations of the human body, leading to a deep awakening and further unlocking the vast potential of the human body. The physical body can traverse space, fearless of extreme cosmic environments, truly achieving freedom and liberation, unconstrained by planets.]
Chen Du slowly clenched his fist, feeling the abundant life energy within his body that was almost overflowing.
Soon, he returned from space and landed back on Blue Star.
As he passed through the atmosphere, his body violently rubbed against the air, turning into a dazzling fireball, like a shooting star flying backwards, falling from the dark space into the clouds.
He only slowed down when he was thousands of feet above the ground, and finally fell back into the mountains like a feather.
He stood atop the mountains, exhaling a breath of White Qi; the Evolution Factors within him remained scorching hot, like a furnace that never cooled.
Chen Du suddenly felt a pang of emotion.
All told, from the moment he embarked on this path to his current Seventh Tier Freedom Realm, it has only been less than two weeks. This speed is so fast that even he himself finds it unreal.
As for Martial Dao and Immortal Dao, if we include the time spent on deduction, it took him hundreds of years.
The Xuanye Realm, the Heavenly Human Realm, the Spirit Martial Realm —countless days and nights in those worlds, the experiences and insights gained at the cost of one's life, have led to the realm one has reached today.
But what about the factor direction? It's like a fast track specially prepared for this era of Spiritual Qi Revival. As long as there are enough resources, a leap can be completed in a very short time.
As for the requirement of a certain level of attainment, one could say that simply having it is enough.
But Chen Du did not underestimate the potential of the path because of this. On the contrary, after traveling through the universe, he became even more convinced that the potential of this path was extremely terrifying.
If the Seventh Tier of the Freedom Realm is already this good, what about the Eighth Stage and Ninth Tier?
He knew very well that the Seventh Tier of Martial Dao, which is the realm of Martial Immortals, could not actually achieve this.
And there's no need to mention the Eighth Stage; the difference between the Seventh Tier and Eighth Stage is a qualitative leap.
And now, what is his biggest advantage? It's speed!
That's a speed far exceeding that of the vast majority of evolved beings in this era!
While others were still racking their brains about how to break through to the Fifth Tier, he had already reached the Seventh Tier.
Since we have such strength, we must not stop.
He must seize as many opportunities as possible before all the forces and Extraterrestrial Races have fully adapted to this upheaval.
Spiritual fruits, secret realms, Divine Status, spiritual veins—take as many as you can.
Chen Du wanted to seize all the power he could hold onto before the true Eighth Stage descended.
He looked up into the distance, his gaze deep and thoughtful.
Blue Star is very large, and it's getting bigger and bigger.
Those other world regions that are overlapping with Blue Star, those ancient ruins hidden deep in the mountains and seas, those things that may be even older than the Spirit Martial Status he holds.
He no longer passively waits for things to happen; he actively strives for them.
In layman's terms, it's robbery!
Since this world has become a battlefield, then he will be the one who fights his way out of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood!
Chen Du traveled eastward all the way to Mount Tai.
After its Spiritual Qi Revival, Mount Tai is no longer the scenic spot that was once tamed by countless steps and cable cars.
It rises abruptly from the ground, piercing the clouds, its height increasing to tens of thousands of meters, like an ancient giant god who has stepped out of mythology, silently guarding the eastern part of Jiuzhou.
Looking from a hundred miles away, one can only see the dark blue-green mountain range stretching across the sky like a giant wall, with layers of spiritual mist covering the mountainside above, making it impossible to see the summit.
Mount Tai is rising higher every few days, as if something underground is awakening and supporting it as it climbs ever higher.
Countless evolved beings flocked to the mountain, hoping to find opportunities, but most only dared to linger on the outskirts.
In a short period of time, countless rumors about Mount Tai have spread.
Rumors have spread that extraordinary objects have emerged from the depths of Mount Tai, an ancient medicinal garden has appeared, and the gate used for imperial sacrifices during the Fengshan ceremony has reappeared in the world.
But far more people died here than those who brought out the treasure.
In the hearts of the Xia Kingdom, Mount Tai was extraordinary; it was the most revered of the Five Sacred Mountains and a sacred site where emperors of past dynasties performed the Fengshan ceremony.
Emperors Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Wu of Han, Emperor Taizong of Tang, and Emperor Taizu of Song all offered sacrifices to Heaven and Earth here, praying for the eternal stability of their empires.
For thousands of years, the incense of the Fengshan ceremony has long since dissipated, but the significance this mountain carries, like the mountain itself, has accumulated and deepened with time.
Until the Spiritual Qi Revival, this "profound" accumulation of thousands of years seemed to finally be ignited.
The entire Mount Tai was bathed in Great Sheng, with clouds and mist rising from the mountains, and faint sounds of dragons roaring and tigers howling emanating from the earth.
There are even rumors that Mount Tai's "Divine Status" is awakening, and that it is not just a mountain, but more like an ancient world that has been sealed away.
Standing on the outskirts of Mount Tai, Chen Du looked up at the mountain that disappeared into the clouds and felt a vast and ancient aura rushing towards him.
The aura it exuded was not as heavy as that of Divine Status in the Spirit Martial Realm, but rather a majestic and solemn one, as if carrying the power of countless generations' prayers.
This power stirred something within him. If he could find a true opportunity in these mountains, perhaps he could elevate his strength to the next level.
Without further hesitation, he strode towards the mountain gate.
Outside the mountain gate, countless people had already gathered, and the banners of various forces were faintly visible in the spiritual mist.
Clearly, the various factions had previously dispatched a large number of people in order to occupy Mount Tai.
He didn't stop, but walked through the crowd and headed straight for the trailhead.
As Chen Du began his ascent, far behind him, in the shadow of a gray-white rock beside the mountain path, a silhouette almost blended into the environment was walking close to the ground.
The thing had no fixed shape; it was like a stretched, dark water stain that silently slid across the cracks in the rocks and the shadows of the trees.
Actually, this thing is also from Extraterrestrial Race!
This Extraterrestrial Race is a "Sneak Assassin" of the Shadow Clan, a predator among Extraterrestrial Races most skilled in stealth, assassination, and tracking.
People of the same level have almost no chance of discovering it.
It had been following Chen Du ever since he left that underground cave, tracking him all the way here.
In the perception of the Pseudo-Eighth Tier Shadow Clan, Chen Du was nothing more than prey that moved a little faster!
