Chapter 1923 (Raw 2024): Breakthrough in Cultivation

Xiao Chen returned to Cold Moon Cave, unaware that he had already become a thorn in the flesh of Xiao Jinyu and other core disciples.

However, based on Xiao Chen’s character, he would not care even if he knew.

Those who do not incite envy in others were mediocre. As long as the heart did not fear, it did not matter.

Xiao Chen took things easily, not entertaining such frustrating thoughts at all.

His heart did not contain hatred or fear, only unbending pride and steadfastness, no matter the circumstances. He knew his own heart and his own goals. Then, he would put in the effort and never give up.

That was already enough.

Inside his residence, Xiao Chen took out the brocade box that General Feng gave him. He finally could open it to take a look.

What could it be?

Murong Yan got an Underworld Flame seed from General Feng. That happened to be very compatible with his attribute, complementing him well. It suited his heart and body.

What General Feng would give Xiao Chen could only be better and not worse.

Furthermore, it would be something compatible with Xiao Chen’s body, rather than a useless treasure.

Xiao Chen opened the brocade box with some anticipation.

“Boom!”

The instant he opened the brocade box, piercing light dazzled his eyes.

There was a blur of white and gray, as well as some pain. Tears welled up in his eyes and leaked out uncontrollably.

Xiao Chen could not help ridiculing himself, Interesting, I am already moved to tears before even seeing what it is.

No wonder General Feng told him not to open it then.

With such piercing light, it would have provoked Wei Hongfei and the others’ envy.

When Xiao Chen’s vision recovered and the blurry, scintillating scene slowly turned clear, he finally managed to see the brocade box’s contents: an herb and a piece of jade.

The light came from both items, though mainly from the jade. The herb originally did not have any light. However, due to prolonged exposure to the jade, it had absorbed some of the light.

This jade was unpolished. Aside from the resplendent flowing light, there was nothing unusual about it.

It looked very plain and simple, pure and clear, like a drop of dew formed at dawn.

The water hid a blazing flame.

“Strange. The jade is like water, but the water hides a flame?” Xiao Chen muttered to himself. He opened his Heavenly Eye, and his vision magnified, the flame in the jade now appearing a thousandfold larger.

Only then was he shocked to discover that this flame was a thunder flame. It was this thunder flame that was responsible for the piercing light that hurt him.

Great stuff! How dense and pure is this? Just a little bit could already injure me. I wonder how it compares to my Thunder Great Dao?

With this thought, the Dao disk that represented the Thunder Great Dao appeared behind Xiao Chen.

The Dao disk slowly condensed into a spot, giving off resplendent electric light. Then, he held it in his hand and compared it to the flame.

The light from the thunder flame hidden in the jade surpassed that of his condensed Great Dao, making the Great Dao look dim.

This... This... How is this possible...

Xiao Chen trembled slightly. His control of the Thunder Great Dao wavered, nearly letting it explode.

He quickly focused and slowly retracted the Thunder Great Dao into his body, preventing an explosion from destroying his courtyard.

This piece of jade was extraordinary; it was like water and mist.

However, this extraordinary jade was just there to hide the aura of that bit of thunder flame. General Feng’s gift to Xiao Chen was the thunder flame and not the jade.

This was indeed a very compatible item. General Feng had seen that Xiao Chen comprehended the Thunder Great Dao, so he gave Xiao Chen this item.

This can help my Thunder Dao improve further.

This indeed complements me well. This is too wonderful for words. It really suits me!

Then, Xiao Chen looked at the herb. It was lush and green but seemed very simple and harmless—a blade of ordinary grass that might grow on the ground or the corners.

However, since it was placed next to the thunder flame, it was definitely something extraordinary.

What could it be?”

Xiao Chen’s first thought was that it might be something like Sword Monarch Grass, a blade of grass grown by watering it with sword intent.

This blade of grass might be grass that was grown with saber intent. However, it was of a much higher grade than the Sword Monarch Grass.

Back then, that place in the Scarlet Blood Pirate King’s heart was filled with Sword Monarch Grass, as far as the eye could see and even beyond.

At that time, Xiao Chen felt that it was unfortunate. He thought about how much better it would have been if they were all Saber Monarch Grass.

If they were, Xiao Chen could have improved his peak Small Perfection Saber Great Dao further by directly absorbing them.

Can this blade of grass before me fulfill my dreams?

I’ll know after I try!

Xiao Chen’s Spiritual Sense entered the blade of grass. “Crack!” The dense saber intent shredded his Spiritual Sense, which did not last even a thousandth of a second.

All he saw was a vague saber light in his mind, one that was as vast as the ocean, disappearing in a flash.

Xiao Chen suffered a splitting headache. It was like his sea of consciousness was cut in half. He fell to one knee and nearly dropped the brocade box.

Fortunately, the scene that appeared in his sea of consciousness passed in a flash, coming quickly and leaving just as quickly.

After Xiao Chen recovered, his face shone with joy. His eyes flickered with light as he laughed loudly. “Good. It indeed suits me well. Even though it is just a small blade of grass, it has its pride.”

There were two treasures: one for his Thunder Dao and the other for his Saber Dao.

No wonder General Feng told Xiao Chen to open it after returning to the Heavenly Dragon Palace.

Opening the gift there and then would have been fine if it were only Wei Hongfei and Murong Yan present. At most, they would just feel envy in their hearts. It would be hard to say for the other two. If these two items had been revealed, what kind of trouble they would bring Xiao Chen was unthinkable.

Xiao Chen was gunning for the heaven-class core disciple slot. He was already confident of obtaining it. These treasures made him even more confident.

“I’ll advance to the late-stage Starry Sky Stage first by absorbing all these Primeval Heavenly Pills.”

Xiao Chen calmed his restless heart. He knew that it was not the time to absorb these two treasures. Absorbing them now would be somewhat wasteful.

If he absorbed these two treasures after reaching his peak in every aspect, they would induce a great qualitative change.

Even with valuable treasure at hand, Xiao Chen could not forget his own heart and develop a heart demon.

Caution and more caution, that was the principle he adhered to.

Xiao Chen went to the residence’s cultivation room and sat down cross-legged in the center of the formation there. Then, he gently waved his right hand.

One thousand Primeval Heavenly Pills appeared and hovered around Xiao Chen in the cultivation room.

Such a scene looked extremely extravagant and would dazzle one’s eyes.

These were Primeval Heavenly Pills, something much more precious than Superior Grade Spirit Jades.

“Break through, then!”

Xiao Chen did not find using so many a pity; he did not fear wastage. He opened his mouth, and the Primeval Heavenly Pills became like small shrimps and fish entering the mouth of a huge whale as he swallowed them.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

Intense explosions rang out in Xiao Chen’s body, provoking excitement.

A dragon roar rang out endlessly, shaking the sky and ground, stirring up his body.

Every cell in his body yearned for the vast Spiritual Energy from the Primeval Heavenly Pills, greedily absorbing it.

Xiao Chen’s aura continuously soared explosively.

When he had absorbed all one thousand Primeval Heavenly Pills, the bottleneck in his body instantly crumbled like a dam trying to hold back a flood and failing. The surging energy crushed it.

After successfully breaking through, Xiao Chen advanced to the late-stage Starry Sky Stage.

The bottleneck between the late-stage Starry Sky Stage and the middle-stage Starry Sky Stage had long since worn away to practically nothing. However, Xiao Chen had wanted to temper himself further in the middle-stage Starry Sky Stage and build deeper accumulations.

Based on today, the effects were pretty good.

After Xiao Chen broke through, his aura strengthened severalfold.

His 9-Star Primal Core had been bloated with Veritable Essence Energy. Now, the Veritable Essence Energy suddenly turned sparse.

The Primal Core was like a nation that had gained incalculable additional territory.

The space above Xiao Chen’s Soul Pool became densely filled with stars. When he opened his eyes, starlight burst out.

The azure-colored dragon soul formed by his Soul Energy looked strangely plain as if it had returned to a natural state, a foreshadowing of the next cultivation realm.

Xiao Chen did not circulate any Cultivation Technique. He only relied on these one thousand Primeval Heavenly Pills to forcibly break through.

Tyrannical and orderly.

“I still have tens of thousands of Primeval Heavenly Pills. Next, I have to progress slowly but steadily. I should not rush to advance in one go.”

Xiao Chen did not lose himself because of this advancement. He closed his eyes once more.

With a wave of his hand, more Primeval Heavenly Pills appeared in the Spirit Gathering Formation below.

He circulated his eleventh layer Purple Thunder Divine Incantation, continuing to absorb Spiritual Energy. The room immediately flickered with electric light, and thunder roared endlessly.

Various mysterious phenomena of thunder and lightning appeared in this cultivation room, nourishing Xiao Chen, who was in the center of the formation.

In the blink of an eye, seven days passed.

Xiao Chen had consumed ten thousand Primeval Heavenly Pills—a horrifying rate of absorption. He had to stop temporarily.

Although his physical body now had horrifying requirements after cultivating a Demonic Dao Cultivation Technique, his body would still explode, killing him, if he absorbed fifty thousand Primeval Heavenly Pills in one go.

Hence, he exercised some restraint and did not rush to advance.

There was a balance in Xiao Chen’s heart, a bottom line that could not be touched. Once it was touched, it would be hard to turn back.

After ten thousand Primeval Heavenly Pills, his late-stage Starry Sky Stage cultivation stabilized.

Xiao Chen had reached Small Perfection late-stage Starry Sky Stage and was not that far from Great Perfection.

Senior Brother Xiao, I am here on Vice Hall Master Li’s orders. Please kindly open the doors and meet with me.

Just at this moment, a voice projection came from outside the residence.
