Primordial Chaos: Downloading a Saint's Cultivation at the Start

Jiang Chen was in much the same situation now. As long as he could complete the download of any one of his current targets, he could use the completed download to greatly increase his strength in a short time. He could also use it to raise his cultivation realm, thereby making the download speed even faster!

Having thought this through, Jiang Chen sank into contemplation once more, considering what would be best to complete downloading first.

"Accelerate the Top-tier Innate Divine Spirit in full."

After a moment, Jiang Chen made his decision.

The reason he chose the Top-tier Innate Divine Spirit physique as his first completed download target was nothing else but the fact that, at present, it offered the greatest returns.

It was not that Jiang Chen had never considered downloading a Saint's cultivation first, but that was a Saint's cultivation! How could a mere seventeen Acquired Spiritual Treasures possibly be enough to download it successfully?

So he could only abandon that plan, and then he gave up on the spiritual treasures as well.

After all, he already possessed two excellent spiritual treasures and did not lack them for the time being.

Most importantly, the Top-tier Innate Divine Spirit was currently the best choice. It could not be helped—Jiang Chen's talent was simply too poor right now. Besides, why had those Great Powers rushed to take him as a disciple before?

Was it not because they saw him become immortal on the spot and mistakenly believed his talent and innate foundation to be exceptional? What was more, once his innate foundation improved, his breakthrough speed would also increase, which would in turn affect his download speed.

Beyond that, if his master learned of his talent, he would surely value him even more.

All in all, the benefits were plentiful. Completing the download of the Top-tier Innate Divine Spirit first was absolutely the best plan.

"Ding dong, sacrifice of the Hunyuan Cudgel, Tianyuan Xuanbird Hook, Star Heaven Staff... successful!"

"Successfully accelerated the download speed of [Top-tier Innate Divine Spirit]!"

As the system's words fell, the download speed of [Top-tier Innate Divine Spirit] shot upward as though it had ridden a rocket!

kb/s!

kb/s!

mb/s!

mb/s!

In no time at all, the download speed had actually reached an astonishing 20mb/s, a full hundred times faster than before!

At the same time, the download progress also underwent quite a change.

%

.01%!

.02%!...

It rose steadily, step by step!

Seeing this, Jiang Chen was overjoyed. He immediately felt that choosing to prioritize the download of the Top-tier Innate Divine Spirit had indeed been the right decision. At such an astonishing speed, it would probably be completed very soon!

After watching happily for a while longer, Jiang Chen reluctantly turned his gaze toward the seven heavenly treasures beside him, especially the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir that radiated endless Dao Rhyme!

Laozi the Saint had spent ten thousand years refining it—this was truly good stuff! One had to know that Laozi was deeply versed in the art of pill refinement, yet even so, he had spent ten thousand years refining it. One could only imagine how precious the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir was!

And that was indeed the case. After consuming it, one could enter a state of enlightenment.

Enlightenment was something one could only encounter by chance and never seek—it would not be an exaggeration to call it a heaven-sent opportunity. After all, magical power could be increased, but one's own Dao was difficult to advance. Not only that, it could sometimes allow one to comprehend insights from higher realms, causing one's own realm to soar.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen immediately intended to swallow the golden elixir. But just as he brought it to his lips, his heart stirred, and he changed his mind, first devouring the other heavenly treasures.

The Nine-Turn Golden Elixir was the best pill Jiang Chen currently possessed, so naturally, a good blade had to be used on the steel's edge. He was only at the Early Heavenly Immortal realm now. After consuming the other heavenly treasures and making a breakthrough, swallowing the golden elixir would be the best choice.

Life Fruit!

Eat!

Dragon Scale Fruit!

Swallow!

Amid a series of gulps, Jiang Chen consumed several spiritual fruits within a few breaths.

Boom!

Just as Jiang Chen was preparing to eat the final spiritual fruit, the Flat Peach, his expression suddenly changed. A vast surge of spiritual qi poured in from heaven and earth, hovering above Jiang Chen's head like a whale swallowing water before slowly pouring into his body.

Another familiar warm current flowed through him, but this time it was several times stronger than before. Even the feeling of comfort was incomparably intense, making him feel as though he were drifting among the clouds.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen immediately circulated the Shangqing Dao Method, absorbing the spiritual qi.

At that moment, the realm Jiang Chen had just broken through to began to loosen once more.

Early Heavenly Immortal!

Mid Heavenly Immortal!

Late Heavenly Immortal!

Mid True Immortal!

Only upon reaching the Mid True Immortal realm did Jiang Chen's cultivation slowly stabilize.

A breakthrough across an entire major realm!

This was only natural. Perhaps to Great Powers at the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal level or even Quasi-Sage level, such heavenly treasures were already useless, serving at most to quench their thirst. But for Jiang Chen, who was merely at the Early Heavenly Immortal stage, they were a heaven-sent opportunity!

That was why Jiang Chen's cultivation had risen so quickly.

Feeling the explosive surge of power within him, Jiang Chen was delighted, yet had no time to think further. He hastily turned his gaze to the remaining spiritual fruits and peaches, grabbed them in one sweep, and stuffed them straight into his mouth.

One had to know that the greatest effect of ginseng fruit was extending one's lifespan. Yet as one of the Ten Great Innate Spiritual Roots, peaches could not only extend one's life, but also greatly increase one's mana!

Gulp!

Mouthful after mouthful went down his throat. Before Jiang Chen could marvel at the exquisite taste of the peaches, vast mana surged forth from within his body, and endless warmth wrapped around him.

Mid True Immortal!

Late True Immortal!

True Immortal Perfection!

Early Profound Immortal!!!

Another breakthrough across an entire major realm!

The wonders of the nine-thousand-year peaches were plain to see!

At that moment, Jiang Chen finally understood why, when Sun Wukong wreaked havoc in Heaven, he had immobilized the Seven Fairies and done nothing to them, choosing only to devour peaches instead.

Not only were these peaches unparalleled in taste, they could also help one break through, granting a comfort that rose from the depths of one's soul. With such a double dose of blissful stimulation, wasn't that even better than women?

Heh, what were women? Were they better than peaches?

Jiang Chen now deeply shared Sun Wukong's feelings from later generations. If it had been him, he would have done exactly the same.

But this was not the time to dwell on that, because he was suddenly drawn in by the system's voice!

"Ding dong, [Top-tier Innate Divine Spirit] has been successfully downloaded. Would the host like to use it?"

As it happened, double happiness had arrived at the door.

It turned out that while Jiang Chen had been consuming spiritual fruits and breaking through, the [Top-tier Innate Divine Spirit] had finished downloading, thanks to the heavenly treasures he had sacrificed earlier!

Jiang Chen was overjoyed upon hearing this.

He knew the download speed had increased considerably, but he had never imagined it would finish so quickly. After all, only the duration of a single secluded cultivation session had passed.

Sure enough, spending money was the one true royal road to becoming strong quickly!

"Use it!"

Jiang Chen answered at once.

He had sacrificed seventeen Low-grade Acquired Spiritual Treasures precisely for this moment. Of course he would use it.

The moment his words fell, Jiang Chen's face, which had just been filled with joy, froze. He felt as though endless flames had swallowed and enveloped his entire body. A searing pain spread from his soul throughout his body, leaving him in unbearable agony.

"Ah!"

How could Jiang Chen endure such heart-wrenching pain? He immediately cried out.

His mouth twitched as he cursed the system inwardly for being a scam. How could any ordinary person withstand such excruciating pain? Before long, he fainted.

Yet Jiang Chen did not know that after he passed out, streams of world-cleansing white light wrapped around his body. The light seeped through every pore and actually forced the blood from Jiang Chen's body, as though it disdained the blood of the Human Race's Innate Dao Body and was madly rejecting it.

As his blood was squeezed out, Jiang Chen's face instantly turned pale. Fortunately, the white light entered his body in its place, cleansing every meridian and every inch of marrow from the outside in.

Had other cultivators witnessed this scene, they would surely have been green with envy, for this was the rebirth through cleansing of marrow that countless cultivators dreamed of!

Yet apart from the ornaments and stones around him, Jiang Chen was the only one here.

In the primordial world, years meant nothing. A hundred years drifted by.

On this day, Jiang Chen was still asleep, but his complexion was rosy, and his very bearing and spirit seemed three points better than before.

And when one looked at the cultivation aura that radiated authority even in his stillness, he had astonishingly broken through from the Profound Immortal realm to the Grand Unity Profound Immortal realm!
