Chapter Fifty-Four: The Awakening of the Chaotic Immortal Soul

  The spiritual energy in the chest imprint was like a stream of water constantly pouring into his body, his bones were being refined and washed, impurities were being expelled from Ye Chen's pores bit by bit, and the cells in his body were gradually becoming larger, at a speed even faster than when he used low-grade extreme spirit medicine in the past few days.

  The spiritual energy here is indeed dense, Ye Chen controls the spiritual energy in the chest imprint to the maximum extent, allowing it to surge into his body. Under the absorption of the chest imprint, he can basically hold his own, which allows him to cultivate at the fastest speed without interruption.

  Time flies day by day.

  Bang!

  Ye Chen's body emitted a loud explosion, and the powerful and pure life energy surged out like a tidal wave, cleansing every part of his physical body. Ye Chen once again increased his strength by that of a savage beast, and the muscles on his body rippled. The impurities that had been expelled from his body had already solidified, and as his muscles rippled, they fell off layer by layer, just like a silkworm breaking out of its cocoon.

  His skin shone with a faint light, an orange-golden glow that made Ye Chen look like a golden Buddha.

  Half a month has passed, and today is Ye Chen's 16th cellular awakening since entering the sixth stage. The flood-like blood energy refined his physical body to be as flawless as a crystal golden body, and then all the blood energy guided by him surged towards the meridians of the whole body. In the repeated refinement, the meridians also became more tenacious.

  At this moment, every meridian in Ye Chen's body was emitting a golden light, an orange-gold color, although it was still very faint. However, the strength of his meridians had increased by several times compared to before. At the same time, Ye Chen felt as if he had endless power, and with just a slight movement, his body seemed to have dozens of fierce beasts rushing about, roaring, wanting to burst out and tear everything apart.

  Ye Chen had a feeling that if he were to fight Ye Xun again at this time, even if Ye Xun was in the middle of the ninth rank, Ye Chen would not be afraid of him. Although he didn't dare say he could win, at least he could stand on the ground of not losing.

  Seven segments, half a month's time, Ye Chen broke through the sixth segment barrier and entered the seventh segment of the Refining Veins realm without consuming a single spiritual medicine. In this half-month period, the seal on his chest was like an endless deep abyss, frantically absorbing spiritual energy. The spiritual energy within hundreds of miles around him was almost completely absorbed by him. In this mundane world where there were no spiritual springs, once the spiritual energy was greatly depleted, it would take at least a few years to recover. Within these few years, Ye Chen wouldn't be able to continue cultivating in this manner without relying on spiritual medicines, unless he found another region with dense spiritual energy.

  Of course, this is almost impossible. When Ye Fan first traveled from Lin City to Wuming Town, he passed through many deep mountains and valleys, but the spiritual energy in those places was far inferior to here. This made Ye Chen feel that there must be a spiritual spring at the deepest part of this mountain range, but it was very small. The thick spiritual energy didn't know how many years it took to accumulate to such a degree. Now that the spiritual energy had been absorbed by him, such a small spiritual spring would absolutely not be able to restore the spiritual energy here in a short period of time.

  Ye Chen couldn't wait, what he lacked most was time. Fortunately, there were still two first-class spiritual herbs in his hand. "With the vast spiritual energy contained in these two first-class low-grade spiritual herbs, I should at least be able to break through to the eighth stage peak. Maybe even directly entering the ninth stage isn't impossible..."

  Thinking of this, Ye Chen took out the first-grade lower-grade spiritual medicine from the storage bag, which was picked in the central water pool of this cave, and attached it to the chest mark. At the same time, he moved his mind and controlled the mark to absorb the spiritual energy in the spiritual medicine.

  A strong suction force was emitted from the chest seal, firmly absorbing the first-class low-grade spiritual herb onto his chest. Ye Chen saw that the thick and pure spiritual energy was frantically pouring into it under the absorption of the seal, and a green spiritual vortex with the size of a fist was formed on the surface of the seal, almost covering the entire spiritual herb.

  The cave was filled with a fragrant aroma, and the spiritual light illuminated the entire cave in green. With Ye Chen's current cultivation, the speed at which the seal on his chest absorbed spiritual energy was several times faster than before. The spiritual energy from the elixir would allow the seal to reach saturation in just half an hour.

  "This...!" Ye Chen was shocked, the spiritual energy in the imprint had already reached a saturated state, but he could feel that not even one-tenth of the spiritual energy in the spiritual medicine had been depleted. The vastness of the spiritual energy contained within exceeded his expectations. "It seems that two first-class spiritual medicines will be enough for me to break through to the initial stage of the 9th rank."

  Ye Chen was somewhat excited, but he quickly suppressed the ups and downs of his emotions, slowly closing his eyes, guiding the spiritual energy to continuously cleanse and temper his meridians, stimulating the awakening of cells within his body.

  Time passed day by day, and almost every day, Ye Chen's body had a faint orange-golden glow flowing through it. His physical body was getting stronger every day, and every part of his body was constantly changing. His meridians had almost completely turned orange-golden, reaching the peak of the seven-stage Refining Meridian realm, but he still hadn't broken through. Simply refining his meridians couldn't allow him to break through to the eighth stage with this special physique.

  On the tenth day, Ye Chen couldn't enter the eighth segment no matter how he washed and refined his meridians. Just like every breakthrough after entering the fifth segment, he had to awaken the cellular particles with blood energy to wash and refine his physical body before breaking through the shackles and entering a higher realm.

  Within his body, forty-seven golden cellular particles were arranged in a glittering array, like stars in the starry sky. In these ten days, under the immense spiritual energy of the first-grade spiritual medicine, Ye Chen not only refined his meridians to the strongest extent of the fleshly realm but also re-awakened sixteen more cellular particles. This meant that if he could awaken just sixteen more cellular particles, he would be able to break through the seventh stage peak and enter the eighth stage of the fleshly realm in one go.

  Bang!

  A cell particle burst open, and the orange-golden blood energy surged out like a mountain flood, flowing into Ye Chen's body, making a gurgling sound that echoed in the empty cave, lingering on like the gentle flow of a mountain stream.

  Ye Chen's body surface shone with a golden light, like a star in the night sky, twinkling and flickering, his robust Chaos Blood Energy flowing inside, that kind of primordial Chaos aura seeping out of his body, extremely oppressive. At this moment, if someone was within ten meters of him, they would be pressed by this faint wisp of Chaos aura to the point of struggling to breathe, even their soul would tremble with a sense of submission.

  On the twentieth day, a loud rumbling sound like a torrent suddenly came from the mountain cave, and then a burst of orange-golden light shot out, casting a golden glow over the entire cave, as if it had been cast in gold.

  At this moment, Ye Chen was like a dazzling sun, with orange-golden light radiating from all over his body. A peerlessly ancient aura emanated from within him, the primordial chaos aura that existed before the dawn of time. Within this aura lay an invincible will that dominated the heavens and earth, suppressed the myriad ancient skies, and ruled over the three thousand great worlds.

  Primordial Bloodline, an invincible bloodline that shouldn't exist in the world. This kind of physique is invincible, and no one can compare to it in the vast universe.

  "Boom!"

  Ye Chen's body flashed a brilliant orange-gold light, becoming dazzling and piercing in an instant. But immediately after, all the light was retracted, and his skin flowed with a faint layer of treasure light. His ancient bronze-colored skin was full of explosive power, his muscles were almost perfect, and his physique contained the strength of sixty-three fierce beasts.

  Ye Chen slowly opened his eyes.

  Suddenly, a voice sounded in Ye Chen's mind, so sudden that it changed his complexion.

  "The Chaotic Bloodline has begun to awaken, you are now qualified to receive the innate transmission of secret techniques."

  "Who?"

  Ye Chen's eyes were sharp and piercing, like a knife, and heavy as a great mountain.

  "I am the Chaotic Sacred Soul, which is also the mark on your chest. It's a fusion of the Chaotic Soul and the Sacred Soul." The voice echoed in Ye Chen's mind once again, ancient and weathered, as if it had traversed countless space-time from the dawn of time.

  Ye Chen's face was filled with shock, he slowly lowered his head to look at the mark on his chest. At this moment, that first-class spiritual herb had withered and fallen to the ground. With a subtle sense, the fluctuation of that voice indeed came from the mark into his mind.

  "Primordial Spirit Soul?" Ye Chen was shocked, because he had always been unaware that there was another soul in the seal on his chest. With great effort to calm down his turbulent emotions, Ye Chen asked with his divine sense: "Then what exactly is the seal on my chest... why did it appear on my chest, and remain calm for over twenty years, only to awaken when I arrived on the Longevity Continent? Why all of this?"

  That voice fell silent for a moment, and then the sound rose again in Ye Chen's mind, "I was originally a divine soul nurtured in the void of chaos before the opening of heaven and earth, the soul of chaos, carrying the strongest will of the invincible chaos of heaven and earth. My mission is to find people with chaotic bloodlines, make them awaken, carry the invincible will and secret techniques of the ancient heavens, dominate the vast world, control fate, and grasp the universe."

  "You not only possess the Chaotic Bloodline, but also have a celestial nature. You were originally a Hongmeng Martial Body Celestial Fetus, and your bloodline potential was unable to stimulate me who was in deep sleep, but fortunately, the God of Luck favored you, allowing you to be remade by someone with an anti-heavenly method..."

  "What...?" Ye Chen was extremely shocked, thinking back to when he obtained the "Blood-Stained Hem" in Wushan Mountain, that giant hand descending from the sky, and the scenes of him crawling out of a stone coffin filled with half a coffin's worth of fresh blood after arriving at the Longevity Continent. His heart became even more puzzled, if according to what the Chaotic Immortal Soul said, then whose was that giant hand, and who used heaven-defying methods to modify his physique? Everything was like a fog.

  "If I wasn't a Chaotic Body from the beginning, then why did this mark already exist on my chest when I was on Earth? And who was it that used an unorthodox method to alter my physique?" Ye Chen asked after falling silent.

  "This matter involves unutterable heavenly secrets, don't try to guess, at least not for a very long time, otherwise you will have great calamity befall you. Your current cultivation is too low, your bloodline has just awakened, and your vision is too narrow. Many things you will understand later."

  Ye Chen was speechless, although his mind was shrouded in thick fog, he didn't ask again, knowing that even if he did, it would be futile.

  "Accept my mystical heritage."

  The voice of Hun Dun Xian Hun echoed in Ye Chen's mind, and then a stream of information poured in like a tide, deeply etched in his mind.
