Chapter 1 Rebirth

  Suddenly, Chen Xuan's ears were filled with the sound of many insects crawling, and he could sense every movement within a hundred meters. Was this what Old Lai meant by spiritual sensing? But wasn't that a state only achievable at the Lingwu realm?

  Chen Xuan still didn't know that when the body suffers, the soul also suffers. Every time it suffers, the power of the soul grows stronger. Not only did his physical body undergo a transformation, but his soul also became incredibly powerful. If Chen Xuan's soul wasn't strong enough, he would have been killed by the pain during the absorption of the essence blood.

  He stood up and waved his hand, producing a flow of air. He clenched his fist, and the air produced an explosive sound.

  "How powerful! This is indeed the realm of Post-Heaven Ninth Rank."

  His breath slowly subsided, and Chen Xuan's skin returned to its normal color, becoming even whiter than before. However, upon closer inspection, the terrifying power hidden beneath his muscles was still visible. He took out a set of clothes and put them on, only then did he completely withdraw from the transformation in his body.

  "Lai Lao, is this the Wan Long Zhen Ti you were talking about? It's really powerful, I feel like I can defeat that Jiao with just my physical body." Chen Xuan said excitedly.

  "Now that you know the benefits of being a Wan Long True Body, the Fire Dragon Fruit and Jiao's essence have transformed your body into one comparable to an ancient true dragon. If those major sects were to find out that you're a Wan Long True Body, they'd go crazy trying to recruit you into their own sect. Those who can't get you might even try to destroy you, as no one wants another sect to have a Wan Long True Body, which would pose a huge threat to their own sect. Every year, the major sects frantically search for geniuses from all over to join their sect, and only those with strong enough sect power can obtain more resources."

  "You must think carefully, whether to expose your true body or cultivate in silence. Exposing it may attract the attention of the Great Gate Sect's disciples, and you might be immediately absorbed into the sect. However, your future cultivation path will also become more difficult. With the True Dragon bloodline in your body, many people will risk their lives to obtain the dragon essence blood from within you."

  "I choose not to reveal the true body of Wan Long, only when one's own strength has risen can they be considered a king. However, I also have the possibility of joining a large sect, and I will join with an ordinary identity."

  Lao Li nodded slightly.

  "Earlier, I was worried about how to find a body-refining technique for you to cultivate your body. Now it seems unnecessary. From now on, every time you upgrade your strength, the intensity of your physical body will also increase. Only pure golden blood is the authentic True Dragon Bloodline. Your bloodline still has impurities and hasn't reached pure gold yet, but with each upgrade, you'll undergo a bloodline cleansing ritual. When it completely turns into pure gold, that's when you'll truly achieve the Ten Thousand Dragons True Body. However, your current body is already invincible among those of the same rank. You've reached the 9th grade; try to see if you can mobilize your spiritual power this time."

  Chen Xuan once again mobilized the few floors of spiritual energy from his dantian, at first the spiritual energy didn't quite listen to Chen Xuan's mobilization, after trying a few times.

  "Hmm, it seems like there's some leeway this time."

  The spiritual energy slowly flowed into Chen Xuan's right hand through his dantian, and a 10-meter-long knife aura appeared on the steel knife in his right hand. The spiritual energy was released externally, and this time he had actually succeeded.

  Hahaha...

  "I can also achieve spiritual power externalization at the 9th rank in two days."

  Chen Xuan looked up at the sky and laughed maniacally.

  It had been two days since he walked out of the cave, and when he came to the small valley again, Chen Xuan's mood could no longer be described as it was when he first arrived.

  Once again mobilizing his spiritual energy, a ten-meter-long blade aura appeared, slicing towards a house-sized boulder one hundred meters in front of him.

  The knife flew out in a smooth arc.

  "Hmph..."

  The stone as big as a house was actually shaved off by Chen Xuan to one-third, no wonder Lao Li told himself that spiritual power is ten times stronger than true power.

  "Lui Lao, is this the true power of the Ling Wu realm?"

  Chen Xuan sheathed his sword and asked Lao Li with an extremely passionate gaze.

  "It's almost there, but your true power hasn't fully transformed into spiritual power, so it can only be said that one foot has already stepped into the Spiritual Martial Realm. When your true power completely transforms into spiritual power, not to mention 100 meters or 1,000 meters away, you can also take someone's head off; breaking through the Spiritual Martial Realm is just a matter of time, as long as you integrate your true power with spiritual power. A 14-year-old Spiritual Martial Realm cultivator is considered a decent talent across the entire continent, unlike ordinary post-heavenly ninth-grade cultivators who must comprehend the existence of spiritual power before converting it into spiritual power; you've taken a shortcut."

  Lí Lǎo smiled and said.

  Watching Chen Xuan's strength grow stronger day by day, Lao Li was also delighted, and the hope of rebirth for himself increased a bit more.

  "Lao Li, can I infuse my spiritual energy into one of my father's bodies, so that he can also quickly enter the Spiritual Martial Realm?"

  Chen Xuan has now come up with his own strength and also hopes that his family's strength will become stronger.

  "Normally, it's not possible. Forcing spiritual energy into someone else's body the day after tomorrow would cause their body to burst from the energy. If everyone could do that, then Spiritual Warrior Realm cultivators would be everywhere. But with your example, maybe we can try, but not everyone is as abnormal as you."

  It's time to go home, it's been two months since I came out. The family's coming-of-age ceremony is in five days and I must rush back before then. Chen Xuan walked towards the outside of the valley.

  In just two months, his own strength had undergone a heaven-shaking transformation. Chen Xuan felt like he was dreaming and if not for the thick true energy in his dantian, he would have thought he hadn't woken up yet. This kind of cultivation had already shattered Chen Xuan's understanding of cultivation that he had gained over the past half year.

  Shuttling through the Sunset Mountains, heading towards the mountain exit, Chen Xuan encountered seven-stage and eight-stage magical beasts. As long as he released his own aura, these magical beasts didn't dare to provoke him again.

  The speed of the nine transformations of the Phantom has increased by another fold, and when running at full force, no human figure can be seen, only a gust of clear wind blowing by. From the moment the first shadow was separated, I am now able to separate a second shadow, which is astonishingly identical to the aura of my main body.

  A slender figure appeared at the exit of the Sunset Mountains, wearing a cyan long shirt, with fair skin and angular facial features, making the young man look exceptionally sunny and handsome.

  One day's journey, he rushed out of the mountain range of thousands of miles around, and then went to Hui Chun Tang to deal with the herbs on his body and the inner elixir, exchanging them for things that were useful for his cultivation. He left his steel knife with Chen Xuan in the mountains, as it was already scrap metal and could no longer be used. He would go back and exchange it for a better one.

  Returning to Hongling Town, Chen Xuan's mood was completely different from the last time he came out. His current strength was comparable to that of a Lingwu realm cultivator, and in the entire Hongling Town, he could be considered a top-notch expert. His mindset had undergone a change.

  As he walked through the streets to the entrance of Hui Chun Tang, the one who greeted him was still that old man in his fifties. It seemed that the old man could still remember Chen Xuan. As soon as he saw the young man coming in, the old man immediately noticed that this young man's temperament had changed a lot compared to two months ago, becoming more refined and introverted. His eyes had become clearer and more spirited than before, and his body seemed to emanate an aura that made even the old man feel a thrill of fear. What kind of aura was this? The old man thought to himself;

  "This young master wants to buy something again." The old man dared not to be slow and said.

  Chen Xuan took out the inner elixir of the demon beast and some medicinal materials from the Ling Jie, and placed them on the counter.

  "I want to sell these internal elixirs and medicinal materials to your esteemed hall, can you take a look at how much silver they're worth?"

  "Spirit Ring."

  The old man was surprised again, the spirit ring was a luxury that only some big gate families had, and there wasn't even one in the entire Hongling Town. This kid actually had a spirit ring on his hand, but he quickly restrained his emotions.

  The old man took a glance at the demon beast's inner dan, his eyes lit up, and there were actually several eighth-stage demon beast inner dans inside. He looked at Chen Xuan again, this young boy was only fourteen or fifteen years old, yet he could kill an eighth-stage demon beast. His strength couldn't be underestimated. When did Hongling Town produce such a genius? Could it be that the children of those large families came to Hongling Town for training? The old man secretly exclaimed in surprise.
