Secrets of Chi Village

Ding! Talent selection successful. Life Simulation begins.

March 12th, Great Xia Calendar Year 480: You displayed astonishing alchemy skills, leaving the people of Chi Village deeply shocked. They had never expected your talent in alchemy to be so high. The Village Chief was even more unable to calm his emotions, sighing that Chi Village had truly encountered a benefactor.

Next, you had the Village Chief gather herbs for refining Innate Realm Pills, intending to refine Innate Realm Pills. The people of Chi Village did as instructed, carefully collecting alchemy materials for you.

March 30th, Great Xia Calendar Year 480: The materials were gathered. You successfully refined a batch of high-quality Innate Realm Pills and handed them over to the people of Chi Village.

Chi Hu and the others were incomparably excited, their gratitude overflowing with tears.

Over the next month, Chi Hu and the others successfully broke through to the Innate Realm with the help of the Innate Realm Pills. In a single month, Chi Village gained eight more Innate Realm experts, making the Village Chief grin from ear to ear.

Next, you explained the matter of the Li Family and also revealed the Blood Demon Tracking Art, leaving the Village Chief deeply unsettled. He did not know how you knew so much, but in the end, he still believed you and was terrified by it.

In the end, the Village Chief made the decision to relocate the entire clan, then scatter across the lands of Great Xia to reduce the possibility of being found.

You sighed inwardly at this. You knew very well that even if they could avoid the Li Family's pursuit, Great Xia would soon descend into chaos and would be hard-pressed to remain peaceful. In this troubled age, many people from Chi Village would surely be swept into it, their lives and deaths impossible to predict.

However, you could not change anything.

Next, you asked the Village Chief whether he had a cultivation method for the Spirit Clan itself that could help Chi Feng awaken his Fire Spirit Body. Upon hearing this, the Village Chief hesitated to speak. In the end, he could only sigh mournfully and say that it had long been lost. This Fire Spirit Art had merely been adapted from a fragmentary Earth Grade Cultivation Method.

You were not surprised by the Village Chief's words. You had long expected such a possibility; you simply had not expected the Fire Spirit Art to have been adapted from a fragmentary Earth Grade Cultivation Method.

Finally, you asked the Village Chief why the people of Chi Village could not break through beyond the Innate Realm.

The Village Chief was once again stunned and incredulous at your question. He had no idea how you knew this secret. However, considering that you truly bore no ill intent toward the people of Chi Village and had even sworn an oath, he ultimately admitted that Chi Clan Members truly could not break through to the Spirit Origin Realm.

You pressed him again for the reason. The Village Chief hesitated to speak. In the end, he could only give a vague answer. He did not know exactly what was going on either. The Chi Clan's past was far too distant, and too many things had been lost. Many of the clan's secrets were known only to successive clan heads, but the clan head had been killed by the Li Family, and everything had been lost.

Unable to obtain an answer, you found this deeply regrettable.

Seeing how regretful you were, the Village Chief spoke again and revealed some secrets he knew. The Chi Clan was not native to this Overseas Isolated Island, but had crossed the sea to arrive here. According to the clan's ancient records, over the past thousand years, the Chi Clan had encountered several calamities that nearly exterminated them, all of which were related to a curse. A thousand years ago, the Chi Clan could still produce Spirit Sea Realm experts. Six hundred years ago, Spirit Origin Realm experts still appeared. Two hundred years ago, no one could break through to the Spirit Origin Realm anymore. By today, even breaking through to the Innate Realm had become exceptionally difficult, and even after reaching the Innate Realm, cultivation had become slow.

The Village Chief expressed his worry and fear, saying that he suspected that as time passed, their clan might eventually become unable to break through even to the Innate Realm, perhaps even becoming completely incapable of cultivating in the end.

Upon hearing this news, you felt a chill rise from the depths of your heart. The origin of the Chi Clan also shocked you—they had crossed the sea to come here, and a thousand years ago they could still produce Spirit Sea Realm experts, yet now they struggled even to break through to the Innate Realm. It was truly Weird.

The Chi Clan's origins were mysterious and powerful. You found it difficult to imagine just how mighty the Chi Clan had been at its peak. But what frightened you even more was this Weird curse. The being who had acted against the Chi Clan was excessively vicious. Perhaps that person could clearly have exterminated the Chi Clan completely, yet deliberately chose not to, insisting on planting a curse so that the Chi Clan would slowly wither away, struggle in the mortal world, and ultimately perish entirely.

Seeing your fear, the Village Chief knew that you had connected it to certain things. He patted your shoulder and said that you owed them nothing; rather, they owed you far too much gratitude. You did not need to worry about the future of their clan. Once you became entangled too deeply, you would also be in danger. You understood inwardly that you could not continue investigating Chi Village's secrets, or your life might be at risk.
