Chaos Immortal Record

"Xiao Chen, did the Orthodox Unity Sect..." Xu Yin carefully chose her words.

Su Chen saw her worry and smiled. "Aunt, I did indeed leave the Orthodox Unity Sect."

"But don't worry. The Orthodox Unity Sect didn't drive me out—it was I who no longer wanted to stay there."

Su Chen's tone was exceedingly casual.

If it had been anyone else, they would certainly have thought Su Chen was saying this merely to save face.

After all, the Orthodox Unity Sect was the largest sect within a thousand miles. In terms of cultivation conditions, it was countless times superior to the cultivation lineages in small cities.

Yet Xu Yin studied Su Chen's eyes closely. In those clear, star-like eyes, she read nothing but calmness and resolve.

Unable to help herself, she nodded, feeling much more at ease. "In that case, Xiao Chen, I'll speak to the Jiang Family head. You can stay here with your aunt without worry."

"It just so happens that my place is quiet and lonely. With you here, I'll have someone to keep me company." Xu Yin smiled.

Su Chen nodded. "By the way, Aunt, please keep this matter secret for me for now. Don't tell my father and mother yet."

Xu Yin agreed and immediately instructed the servants to prepare a room for Su Chen.

A quarter of an hour later.

Su Chen was already standing in that familiar room from his memories.

Looking at the familiar furnishings around him, Su Chen took a deep breath and cast aside the distracting thoughts in his heart.

Then he slightly spread his arms before him, assuming a stance as though he could embrace heaven and earth.

The cultivation method he was currently practicing was the True Yang Heart Formula, one of the Orthodox Unity Sect's sect-defending arts. It was a second-grade cultivation method.

Such a cultivation method was fairly good for ordinary people, but to Su Chen, who had once been a Pill Emperor, it was beneath his notice.

Su Chen had quite a few martial arts manuals in his memories, all collected after he had become the Pill Emperor in his previous life. Many people knew that the Dust Pill Emperor had a hobby of collecting martial arts manuals. Whenever they asked him to refine pills, they would trade precious manuals in exchange.

Su Chen also enjoyed studying these martial arts manuals. Over the years, his theoretical knowledge of martial arts had become as vast as the sea.

Thus, in this life, now that he could cultivate martial arts,

he naturally had to choose the finest cultivation method.

In fact, he had long since decided which cultivation method to practice.

"I'll cultivate the Chaos Immortal Record!"

The Chaos Immortal Record was a supreme profound art Su Chen had obtained in his previous life. He did not know who had created it, nor did he know its origins.

Su Chen only knew that when this cultivation method had appeared in the world in his previous life, its grade had surpassed every known cultivation method in existence. Countless experts had been drawn to fight over it. In the end, a Martial Emperor expert had nearly lost his life before managing to seize it.

Unfortunately, after obtaining it, that Martial Emperor expert discovered that cultivating this art had an exceedingly harsh requirement: one had to begin cultivating it in the First Martial Dao Realm—the Qi-Attraction Realm—in order to obtain its true essence.

That Martial Emperor expert had been unwilling to destroy his cultivation and start over, so he did not practice the art. In the end, he gave it to Su Chen. As payment, Su Chen refined a ninth-grade Grand Purifying Dust Pill for him.

Now, Su Chen was at the Seventh Stage of the Qi-Attraction Realm, which was precisely suitable for cultivating this art!

Thus, Su Chen discarded the True Yang Heart Formula without the slightest hesitation and switched to the Chaos Immortal Record.

Having made up his mind, Su Chen began recalling the incantation of the Chaos Immortal Record.

As he began cultivating, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth around him gradually gathered, twisting into thick whirlwinds that poured into his body through the crown of his head.

Then, the major and minor meridians within Su Chen's body began operating at full speed, compressing and continuously transforming the vast spiritual energy entering his body into true qi within his dantian.

If anyone else had seen this scene, they would likely have been utterly astonished.

For the Chaos Immortal Record Su Chen was circulating was simply too miraculous. It absorbed every last trace of heaven and earth's spiritual energy within ten meters and completely sealed it within his body, allowing only entry and no escape!

One had to know that no matter how ingenious an ordinary cultivation method was, a great portion of the spiritual energy drawn into the body would dissipate through breathing and pores. That was what was commonly called waste.

Yet the Chaos Immortal Record completely sealed the absorbed spiritual energy within the body, converting one hundred percent of it into true qi in the dantian without wasting a single shred. This showed just how tyrannical this cultivation method was!

Su Chen had already been a genius with a physique exceptionally suited for cultivation. With the aid of this miraculous cultivation method, he was like a tiger that had grown wings, and his cultivation surged at an unimaginable speed.

The moon sank, and the sun rose.

When Su Chen finished cultivating, opened his eyes, and slowly exhaled, he realized that it was already the next morning. He had cultivated for an entire night.

Smack!

Su Chen slammed both palms against the ground, instantly leaving two palm prints half an inch deep in the hard floor, every detail sharp and clear.

"After cultivating for only one night, I actually broke through to the Eighth Layer of the Qi-Attraction Realm. This Chaos Immortal Record is truly tyrannical!" Obvious delight flashed in Su Chen's eyes. He rose and stretched his limbs, and his body immediately crackled like beans being stir-fried.

At the same time, his height visibly increased by half an inch.

It was as though endless strength lay contained within his body.

This was a feeling Su Chen had never experienced in his previous life. Back then, he had only cultivated to the Seventh Stage of the Qi-Attraction Realm before his cultivation was crippled, leaving him unable to cultivate again for the rest of his life.

"In this life, I will surely ascend to the pinnacle of martial arts with this body!" Su Chen's gaze flared, and confidence rose within him of its own accord.

Just then, someone knocked on the door, accompanied by Aunt Xu Yin's voice. "Xiao Chen, are you up?"

"Aunt, please come in." Su Chen briefly tidied the room, then opened the door and invited Xu Yin inside.

Xu Yin entered with a smile. "Xiao Chen, did you sleep well?"

"Your cousin Tingyi returned last night. It was too late, so I didn't let her come disturb you. Now that it's early morning, you two young people can get to know each other."

Su Chen looked past Xu Yin and saw a young girl with a curvaceous figure standing in the backlight at the doorway.

The girl wore a purple short blouse on top and a silver short skirt below, displaying her two slender, jade-white legs.

As though she thought there was something dirty in Su Chen's room, she wrinkled her nose slightly. She would only stand outside the door, refusing to step inside even half a pace.

"Jiang Tingyi."

The name of this cousin flashed through Su Chen's mind. In his previous life, because he had been expelled from the Orthodox Unity Sect and had his dantian crippled, becoming a useless cripple, he had suffered no small amount of contempt from this cousin.

In Su Chen's memory, this cousin was extraordinarily beautiful, one of Clear River City's foremost beauties. Even Su Chen in his previous life had been stunned by her appearance when he first saw her.

However, the current Su Chen was no longer the Su Chen of his previous life. Countless proud daughters of the Pill Domain had once sought to forge ties with him. Having seen countless sights and crossed countless seas, his heart now remained utterly still when he saw his cousin again.

"Mother, why did you insist on bringing me here? What cousin Dust? Isn't he just someone here to freeload? Do we really have to take him in?" the girl complained without stopping.

The smile vanished from Xu Yin's face as she rebuked her, "Do not be rude in front of your cousin!"

Then Xu Yin turned to Su Chen apologetically. "Xiao Chen, I'm truly sorry. I've spoiled Tingyi too much."

"It's all right, Aunt. I don't mind." Su Chen smiled.

"You've only just arrived and don't even have a few changes of clothes. Today, let Tingyi accompany you to buy some clothes, as well as some daily necessities," Xu Yin said.

The moment Jiang Tingyi heard that she was to accompany Su Chen to buy clothes, she immediately protested fiercely, "Mother!"

Su Chen smiled as well. "Aunt, I can go by myself."

"No." Usually gentle, Xu Yin was unexpectedly stubborn now. "Xiao Chen, you're unfamiliar with Clear River City. Let Tingyi accompany you. Tingyi, go wash up. You'll leave in a quarter of an hour."

"Hmph!" Seeing that resistance was futile, Jiang Tingyi stomped her foot in anger, shot Su Chen a resentful glare, and quickly ran off.
