Chapter 64: Advancing to the Purple Mansion

  Third update! Red ticket! It's been exposed to over a dozen people, this...this...this can't be true, right?

  ——

  "The true origin condenses in the whole body's hundred orifices, the spirit and qi combine, using the internal breath method to cultivate breathing... Cultivating to the extreme, one can hide their breath, hide their tracks, those without spiritual awareness will find it difficult to perceive."

  Chen Xiao hugged "The Mysterious Disappearance of the Intangible" and savored every word, his eyes becoming increasingly brighter.

  That's too awesome!

  After finishing reading the whole article, Chen Tang couldn't help but let out a sigh of amazement.

  "This 'Breath Concealment Technique' is an extremely mysterious and subtle art. Once mastered, not only can one's entire body's breath be concealed, but their shadow will also become transparent and disappear, as if evaporating into thin air."

  What's even more noteworthy is that after executing the "Breathless and Traceless Decision", unless a cultivator has a divine soul with spiritual awareness, they won't be able to detect any clues at all. And spiritual awareness is a power that only great cultivators who have reached the state of Nirvana can possess!

  However, this "Breathless Disappearance" can only be performed in a stationary state. Once there is any movement, it will immediately expose itself to the air, and this flaw makes Chen Tai regretful.

  In his view, if he could use the "Intense Breathless Decision" while running, he could leave the deep mountains of Nanman without being detected by the seven great demon kings.

  Generally speaking, for Chen Xiao at this stage, having "Intense Slashing Strike" is undoubtedly an additional means of survival, and it's also a powerful killing move that can be used to ambush and launch a surprise attack!

  "The minimum requirement for practicing these jade simple methods is also the realm of Zi Fu, it seems that I must first refine my Qi to break through to Zi Fu..."

  Chen Yu thought for a moment, picked up the jade slip from the ground, took out the octagonal palace bottle from the storage ring, and inserted the ice heart lotus into a section of top-grade spiritual vein beside the futon.

  Bing Po Xin Lian is a treasure that suppresses the heart demon during cultivation, and as soon as it appears, it emits a few strands of breath that calm the mind.

  In this quiet atmosphere, Chen Tai's excited mood also gradually calmed down.

  Inside the octagonal palace bottle, not only is nearly five hundred kilograms of Xuanming Sha Qi condensed, but also nearly three thousand kilograms of spiritual liquid. These spiritual liquids were all collected from the Lingquan Spring in the Baicao Hall of the Jianxian Cave Mansion. If it weren't for the Golden Spirit Lotus fruit ripening and emptying the spring, Chen Tang would have been able to collect far more than three thousand kilograms of spiritual liquid.

  However, these spiritual liquids were enough to support his cultivation for a very long time.

  Whoosh! The octagonal palace bottle suddenly flew into the air, its mouth tilted, and a column of spiritual liquid poured out, which was then swallowed by Chen Yu with an open mouth.

  Ling liquid is used by practitioners above the Zifu realm to lay the foundation for the Dao, but Chen Xiang is now using it to impact the Zifu realm boundary, which is undoubtedly a risky move.

  But Chen Xiao couldn't care about that anymore, being in the midst of the treacherous and ferocious Southern Barbarian mountains where demonic beasts ran amok, he had to quickly increase his strength if he wanted to have even a sliver of power to survive!

  Rumble!

  As soon as the spiritual liquid surged in, a loud noise like the Yangtze River bursting forth erupted within Chen Xuan's body. The pure and powerful spiritual liquid was like a ferocious beast, rampaging through his meridians, wreaking havoc wherever it passed. Every single meridian and acupoint felt like they had been scraped by countless small knives, and a severe pain spread throughout his entire body.

  Chen Xiao let out a low growl, gritting his teeth and forcibly circulating the Zi Xiao Technique to suppress the pain.

  Fortunately, his divine soul power was strong enough, and soon the spiritual liquid torrent circulated along the meridians of his body, after thirty-six heavens, all poured into the elixir field.

  At this moment, the calmness in Dantian is no longer the same as before. The nine pieces of true yuan cloud that were originally straight up and down like a ladder suddenly seemed to be stirred by a big hand, flying violently in Dantian, swallowing those rolling true yuan rushing into Dantian.

  The process of devouring lasted for three whole days!

  Three days later, after consuming nearly a thousand kilograms of spiritual liquid, the nine pieces of True Yuan Cloud had swollen to more than ten times their original size, like a lump of fermented dough blocking the dantian, unable to move even a single thread.

  Chen Ting did not stop cultivating, still absorbing the spiritual liquid, after being tempered by the "Zi Xuan Gong", he continued to rush towards his Dantian.

  Hehehehe...

  The spiritual energy that was constantly pouring in violently impacted, and the already fully-filled dantian was quietly swelling up, as if it would burst at any moment.

  At this very moment——

  "Open!"

  Chen Zhuang suddenly opened his eyes, and a cold light rotated in his pupils as he let out a loud roar.

  ……

  Outside the cave, Mu Kui was sitting under a large tree, as if he had sensed something, and suddenly raised his head to look around. He saw that all the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on Mount Bao Yue, as if summoned, rushed towards the cave in an instant. The wind and clouds surged, and the momentum was frightening.

  "Stir the spiritual energy of heaven and earth?" Mu Kui's eyes suddenly lit up, excitedly shouting: "Could it be that Senior Chen Xuan is going to open the Purple Mansion?"

  ……

  "Huh?"

  In a mountain peak thousands of miles away, piercing the sky like a sharp sword, a young man in black robes with white hair lay on a jade bed drinking fine wine, while a beautiful female demon massaged his legs, looking extremely relaxed.

  However, he seemed to sense something and suddenly sat up straight, the white bone wine cup in his hand crashing to the ground and shattering into powder. He seemed to be completely unfazed, muttering to himself: "Who would dare to attack the Purple Mansion's borders on my turf? It's impossible, those little guys don't have a single one with the strength to attack the Purple Mansion... unless it's someone from another place?"

  "Your Majesty, have you noticed something?" The beautiful female demon asked cautiously.

  A youth in a black robe with white hair waved his hand and said, "Go, find my disciple Li Hu and ask him if there have been any other demons lurking around here recently."

  "Yes, Your Majesty." The beautiful female demon smiled and transformed into a white-feathered spirit bird, flapping her wings to fly out of the cave.

  ……

  The violent fluctuations of the spiritual energy between heaven and earth on Mount Bao Yue also attracted the attention of many powerful demons who were secretly cultivating in the surrounding area. They either poked their heads out of the water, gazed from the treetops, or walked out of their caves... Their eyes all focused on the same place - Mount Bao Yue.

  "Could it be that Mu Kui guy?"

  "No way, I remember that stupid wolf just reached the First Heaven Round Completion Boundary."

  "This momentum is absolutely the opening of the Purple Mansion!"

  "If the opening of the Purple Mansion is successful, the status of the Black Ape King of Cui Shui Cave may be threatened."

  Either astonished, or perplexed, or worried, in the heart of every great demon a surge arose, but however they looked towards Bao Yue Mountain with eyes that already held a hint of reverence.

  ……

  Boom!

  Inside the cave, Chen Chi felt his whole body hair standing on end, and his dantian was as if it had been struck by a thunderbolt, causing his spirit to tremble along with it.

  A dreadful aura spreads across the sky and earth.

  Crack!

  A faint sound like the cracking of a shell, as if the primordial chaos had just opened up, and it seemed like a phoenix's nirvana. Chen Tai only felt that his body was washed clean by a clear spring water, his whole body was transparent and his mind was clear.

  Zǐ Fǔ Jiè Jiè! -> Purple Mansion Boundary!

  Chen Qiang suppressed the excitement in his heart, looked inward, and found that his dantian had transformed into a space hundreds of times more vast than before, with a True Origin Lake rippling within, looking mysterious and extraordinary.

  Huh?

  Chen Xiao was astonished to notice that in the center of the lake, a golden lotus fruit with a golden glow all over it was floating there, and it had not been affected at all by the breakthrough earlier.

  Nor did he know what magical use this fruit had...

  Shaking his head, Chen Tai didn't hesitate and recalled the incantation of "Bing He's Secret" in his mind, savoring its profound and mysterious meaning.

  The Purple Mansion opens, laying the foundation for the Great Way. Only then can it be considered a true step into the Immortal Path. At this moment, the realm is extremely unstable. If there is no Purple Mansion stage cultivation method available, even the foundation of the Way will be destroyed!

  The boundary of Zifu, every time a stage is upgraded, a true yuan star will emerge in the dantian, and nine stars will be connected to form a circle, which means that Zifu is full.

  Chen Yao's task at this moment was to condense a True Yuan Star and stabilize his realm once and for all.

  Splash!

  The spiritual liquid in the octagonal palace bottle was only about 2,000 kilograms left, but Chen Xiao was not stingy at all. After confirming that every detail of the "Ice Crane Secret" had been grasped, he immediately opened his mouth again to take in the spiritual liquid and started cultivating.

  "The Ice Crane Formula" is divided into nine levels, recording the cultivation methods from Zi Fu One Star to Zi Fu Nine Stars, also known as the "Nine Turns of the Ice Crane", each turn can condense a True Yuan Star.

  Another three hours have passed.

  After operating along the first turn of the Ice Crane Formula for eighty-one cycles, Chen Xiao's true yuan had completely transformed into a different form.

  The purple true yuan that was originally condensed by practicing the "Zi Xuan Gong" has now turned into a crystal clear and transparent silver color, like ice frost crystals, exceptionally beautiful.

  And this true yuan was icy and lingering, full of vitality, flowing through the meridians, like a winding ice dragon.

  Chen Ting opened his eyes, bent his elbow and swung his arm, punching into the void.

  Fists howled, where they passed, a strikingly unusual xuanbing fist mark suddenly appeared in the void, and the entire cave was filled with a chill.

  Bang!

  A layer of frost spread over the hard walls of the cave, and in the center position, a deep fist print was even indented.

  "Bing He's true strength is indeed formidable. With just a casual punch, he can possess such power. Against his enemies, it will surely have an unexpected effect!"

  Chen Yu was extremely satisfied.

  "Senior, may I come in?" Mu Kui's voice came from outside the cave.

  Chen Xiao thought for a moment, then stood up and walked out of the cave, looking at Mu Kui who was standing with his head bowed, and asked: "What brings you to find me?"

  Mu Kui was about to say something, but when his gaze fell on Chen Tai, he felt as if he were facing an unshakeable and majestic mountain peak, and his heart secretly trembled with shock. He hastily congratulated him, saying: "Ah, Senior has indeed advanced to the Purple Mansion realm, I offer my congratulations here."

  Chen Xiao frowned and said: "If you have something to say, just say it. I don't like being flattered by others, so don't do this again in the future."

  Mu Kui nodded repeatedly, pondered for a moment, and then spoke in a low voice: "Senior, my friends want to meet you. They are all great demons who have been secretly cultivating near Bao Yue Mountain. After learning about your breakthrough into the Purple Mansion, they came to congratulate you specially. I don't know if senior can spare some time to see them?"

  "A powerful demon lurking nearby?"

  Chen Xiao was taken aback, but when he noticed the uneasy expression on Mu Kui's face, he vaguely understood what was going on. This guy must have bragged about something to the other powerful demons, right?
