Night fell, and moonlight spilled over Sacred Emperor Peak, as though draping the main peak in a strip of silver silk.
Chu Tian lay naked in a medicinal tub, dense mist obscuring his face. With his eyes closed, he guided the trace of spiritual energy the Chaos Creation True Scripture had just absorbed through a full cycle within his body.
Chaos Divine Light circulated through his body. Like a piece of Chaos Demon Iron being hammered without cease, impurities were steadily expelled. The essence of the medicinal liquid in the tub was continuously absorbed by him, while the impurities he discharged turned the water murky once more.
Huff!
Chu Tian's breath was long and deep. When he exhaled, it emerged like a dragon, transforming into a Divine Dragon baring its fangs and brandishing its claws before dispersing only after a long while.
That single breath of dragon qi could likely kill a Primordial Mammoth Elephant.
If an outsider witnessed this scene, they would likely be scared to death on the spot.
What kind of powerful body was required to possess such terrifying strength in every breath?
"1.7 million jin of strength. With my current power, I can kill a True Dragon Cub with one punch."
Chu Tian opened his eyes, feeling the immense, explosive strength within him—especially the intricate and profound circulation path of that wisp of Chaos spiritual energy.
The Chaos Creation True Scripture truly deserved to be a System product. It was indeed incomparably mysterious. Its circulation path was more than ten times as profound as that of the Chu Family's inherited scripture, the Great Emperor Scripture. It was like stars glittering across the heavens, outlining a grand and majestic painting within Chu Tian's body.
Even the Sacred Heaven Scripture inherited from the Sacred Heaven Sect, which had been passed to Chu Tian long ago and could only be cultivated by the current Holy Son and sect master, was far inferior to the Chaos Creation True Scripture.
After completing his cultivation, Chu Tian willed it, and the System panel opened before him.
Host: Chu Tian
Realm: Bone Forging Realm Level Ten. Possesses 1.7 million jin of divine strength and can instantly kill a True Dragon Cub. Host truly deserves to be the future and sole Son of Destiny.
Physique: Chaos Demon God Body
Cultivation Technique: Chaos Creation True Scripture, First Level
Divine Abilities: None
Treasures: Heavenly Emperor Descent Talisman. Can grant Emperor Venerable-level combat power for ten minutes. Heavenly Profound Divine Ring. Can be refined for 1,000 Destiny Points. Contains a remnant soul of a Primordial Era expert, which poses a certain threat. Host, proceed cautiously.
Destiny Points: 36,500
The System's notification chimes would occasionally ring by his ear, awarding several hundred Destiny Points each time. They were either related to Liu Yun or Ye Fan.
"System, recommend the items in the mall that are most suitable for me at this stage," Chu Tian said inwardly.
He had long since browsed the System Mall. There were far too many goods, encompassing divine objects from myriad worlds, supreme treasures, Divine Medicine, talismans, formations, and more. They were dazzlingly numerous, divided into dozens of major categories and thousands of subcategories.
If he looked through every item before selecting what suited him, it would consume a great deal of time and energy.
As a godfather of a generation, Chu Tian disliked wasting precious time on meaningless matters. If something could be handled with words or money, he would never squander even a shred of unnecessary effort.
"The host is currently at the peak of the Bone Forging Realm and stands at the crucial threshold of breaking through to the Spirit Refining Realm." The System's gentle, pleasant voice quickly rang out.
"The Spirit Refining Realm is the foundation for realms such as giving birth to a Divine Soul and Igniting Divine Fire. Thus, it is named Spirit Refining. Its focus is on tempering and refining the god within one's mind, gradually condensing intangible spirit until it may even become tangible."
"At this stage, comprehension, spirit, and physique are of utmost importance."
"It is recommended that the host exchange for the Supreme Spirit Forging Pill, Comprehension Halo, Spirit Halo, and Physique Halo."
"The Supreme Spirit Forging Pill may be taken once per day and can continuously hammer the spirit."
"The three great halos can keep the host's comprehension, spirit, and physique in their most perfect state at all times."
"The Supreme Spirit Forging Pill costs 400 Destiny Points each. The three great halos consume 600 Destiny Points per day, for a total of 1,000 points."
"It is estimated that within one month, the host will be able to condense their spirit into tangible form in the most perfect state and break through to the Spirit Refining Realm."
"Exchange them." Chu Tian did not hesitate, replying blandly.
By the logic of transmigration novels, anything produced by the System was bound to be top-quality. There could be no mistake.
After all, with his current strength, even if he exchanged for peerless Divine Medicine, supreme treasures, weapons, and the like, he would have no use for them. There was no need.
Increasing his strength was the foremost priority.
"Exchange successful. A total of 1,000 Destiny Points have been spent. 35,500 Destiny Points remain." The System's voice sounded.
A pale blue pill appeared in Chu Tian's hand. Moreover, after cultivation, his somewhat weary spirit immediately became full and complete. Power surged vigorously through his entire body, and he could observe the circulation path of the Chaos Creation True Scripture within him with even greater precision.
He understood that this was the effect of the three great halos.
After swallowing the Spirit Forging Pill, Chu Tian felt as though needles were pricking the back of his head, sending waves of faint pain through him. Yet his powerful spirit directly neutralized that pain, leaving it without the slightest effect on him.
Chu Tian understood that this was the effect of the Supreme Spirit Forging Pill, constantly hammering his spirit.
Based on his understanding of this world, pills of this level were incredibly difficult to refine. The various medicinal ingredients required were secondary. Because they involved the spirit and Divine Soul, ordinary alchemists simply could not refine them. Only Emperor Venerable-level alchemists, with their profound understanding of the Divine Soul, dared to attempt it.
But how powerful and exalted were Emperor Venerable alchemists? Refining pills for the Spirit Refining Realm was essentially a waste of their precious time and effort.
Thus, although it was merely a pill used in the Spirit Refining Realm, the Supreme Spirit Forging Pill was more expensive than Divine Medicine. Even the Chu Family could not produce more than a few, and those were only of middling-to-high quality, not supreme grade, and harmful to the spirit.
Even the young disciples of Hengtian Continent's top powers could only rely on willpower and talent to temper their spirits. Very few external aids were available.
This was also why cultivation talent was so important.
For Body Refining and Bone Forging, one could still rely on Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures for assistance. But Spirit Refining could almost only depend on one's own talent.
In only a short while, Chu Tian felt that his vision, hearing, smell, touch, and all his other senses had greatly improved. Even when a breeze brushed across his face, he could clearly perceive the force of the wind.
Chu Tian understood that this was the enormous benefit of improving one's spirit.
Though his physical strength had not increased, his combat power had improved enormously compared to before.
The Divine Soul represented reaction speed, perception, closeness to heaven and earth, affinity with nature, and more. All of these things were elusive, impossible to see or touch, yet immensely important.
The Spirit Refining Realm was exceptionally important. The strength and condensation of one's spirit could nearly determine how far a cultivator could travel in the future.
Within Chu Tian's mind were memories of Chu Tianwang describing his own time in the Spirit Refining Realm. Chu Tianwang had deliberately nurtured his only son's understanding of the Spirit Refining Realm.
When Chu Tianwang reached the peak of Spirit Refining, he could detect the frictional vibrations produced when a leaf fell with the wind a thousand meters away. Within a radius of one hundred meters, no movement could escape his perception. His Spiritual Power was so vast that a single glare could kill a Primordial Mammoth Elephant.
"Even someone as powerful as my father, Chu Tianwang, and Ye Fan in the original plot failed to condense their spirit into tangible form despite reaching the peak of Spirit Refining. At most, their spirits were as vast as lakes and oceans."
"But no matter how vast and magnificent it is, it ultimately cannot be condensed into substance. It remains scattered and without order. If spirit becomes tangible, then glaring a True Dragon Cub to death should not be difficult either."
Chu Tian muttered to himself. He then had Star Slave, who stood guard outside the door, replace the medicinal liquid in his tub, and he resumed tempering his physique while circulating the Chaos Creation True Scripture.
This medicinal liquid was also exceedingly precious. It was refined from more than a thousand kinds of spiritual herbs and possessed inconceivable benefits for strengthening qi and blood and forging bones. Only an ancient Lineage like the Chu Family, with an inheritance spanning millions of years, could nurture its younger generation so extravagantly regardless of cost.
The System had played a major role in Chu Tian's rapid attainment of his current strength, but the powerful foundation the Chu Family had laid for him also deserved immense credit.
The Heavenly Profound Divine Ring on the ring finger of his left hand was also continuously absorbing his qi and blood before returning power to cleanse his body.
Chu Tian understood that this was the function of the Heavenly Profound Divine Ring. It could purify body and spirit, offering tremendous benefits for solidifying one's foundation. The Heavenly Profound Saintess slumbering within it was also unconsciously absorbing his blood qi to replenish her spirit.
He had no intention of using Destiny Points to forcibly awaken the Heavenly Profound Saintess ahead of time.
A melon forcibly twisted from the vine was never sweet. For some things, letting nature take its course and allowing the water to flow into its channel would yield better results.
