Chapter 21: Ascending to Spirit Transformation

“As expected, it’s not so easy to kill you. Try splitting up and fleeing—see if any of you can escape.”
The Sword Spirit instantly transformed into countless strands of sword intent, scattering in all directions.
There was no notification from the system.
Chu Feng did not believe he had truly slain the Sword Spirit.
He raised his hand and struck out with his palm.
It was the celestial-level divine power, Ninety-Nine Dragon Subduing Palms.
As the palm landed, innumerable golden dragons surged forth from Chu Feng’s hand. The so-called Ninety-Nine Dragon Subduing Palms did not mean the limit was only ninety-nine golden dragons.
Ninety-nine symbolized the limit, but it was merely the first realm of the technique.
The system’s rewards were always of exceptional quality.
The golden dragons pounced upon the sword intents fleeing in all directions.
To these golden dragons, those sword intents were like the most exquisite delicacies—each dragon devoured a strand, leaving none behind.
At last, the system’s delightful notification sounded in his mind.
[Host, you’re truly incredible! How many times has it been now? Unbelievable! You are my idol. My admiration for you is as boundless as the Yellow River waters…]
“Enough.”
Chu Feng interrupted impatiently, “Spare the flattery and announce the rewards.”
[Host, you are absolutely right. The more I think about it, the more I realize choosing to follow you was the best decision I ever made.]
[Your rewards are as follows—Reward One: One thousand years of cultivation.]
[Reward Two: A chance to comprehend the Nascent Soul to Soul Transformation realm.]
[Reward Three: An Extraordinary Comprehension Card, valid for twenty-four hours.]
That was all.
Chu Feng frowned.
Well, better than nothing.
Without the Sword Spirit’s interference, finding the Vermilion Pearl Immortal Grass would be much easier.
Who could have imagined that in this entire secret realm, any being of considerable strength had been slaughtered without exception by the Sword Spirit?
As for so-called inheritances and treasures, it was regrettable—Chu Feng hadn’t encountered a single one. He even suspected that when Cangshan Dao Sect was destroyed, the secret realm had been thoroughly plundered.
...
Back at the Supreme Mystery Dao Sect,
Chu Feng had barely found the chance to propose a Dao partnership when Lu Linglong chased him out.
She claimed she needed to refine the Vermilion Pearl Pill and cultivate.
Chu Feng was left standing there, stupefied.
He offered, “Why not practice the Heaven and Earth Yin-Yang Sorrow Sutra? It would help you reach late Nascent Soul stage with ease.”
“No need.” Lu Linglong cut him off without the slightest courtesy, leaving Chu Feng somewhat frustrated.
Returning to the Lonely Mountain,
Chu Feng pulled Shen Qianxue into his arms, seeking to vent all his pent-up frustration.

It was as if he wished to pour out all his vexation.
They were together seven or eight times, exchanging hundreds of billions in business, before Chu Feng’s mood finally improved.
Gazing at Shen Qianxue, limp and spent in his arms, Chu Feng felt a pang of guilt.
He sent a surge of spiritual energy into her and said with concern, “Qianxue, it’s all my fault for being too rough. Are you all right?”
Shen Qianxue shook her head, “Husband, I can bear it. Besides, this is my duty.”
“Husband, is it because you couldn’t win over Immortal Lady Linglong that you’re feeling down?”
Chu Feng replied, “So you knew.”
“Yes.”
Shen Qianxue smiled, “Honestly, I wish you’d find a few more sisters for me. You’re simply too formidable.”
Chu Feng laughed heartily.
What man doesn’t enjoy being praised for his strength by a woman?
He was no exception.
...
In the training chamber,
Chu Feng began to take stock of his harvest.
The five hundred years of cultivation had brought him to the peak of the Nascent Soul realm.
He had yet to absorb the full thousand years of cultivation.
But most crucial was the insight into the Soul Transformation realm.
Combined with the thousand years of cultivation, it was more than enough for him to break through. At this point, he still had four months of life remaining, so entering the Soul Transformation realm became his top priority.
Time passed swiftly.
In just a month,
Chu Feng’s cultivation formally stepped into Soul Transformation.
The moment he entered this realm,
He underwent an earth-shattering transformation. Although the system’s rewards had restored his physical condition and appearance to that of a thirty-year-old,
Without his cultivation fully restored, he had still appeared to others as a white-haired, sallow-skinned elder.
Now, with this breakthrough, he finally regained his youthful appearance.
He was already one of the five great elders at the Nascent Soul level. With this advancement,
His status changed dramatically.
As Grand Elder, his standing was equal to the sect master.
But as a Soul Transformation Grand Supreme Elder, he surpassed even the sect master,
Able to decide the sect master’s fate with a single word.
Previously, Xiang Yutian had treated him as an equal. Now, Xiang Yutian would have to bow and show the respect of a disciple.
It was just as the saying went: once you ignored me, now you can only look up to me.
Moreover, the thousand years of cultivation did not merely propel Chu Feng to the early Soul Transformation stage—

He leapt straight to the mid-stage.
First, the Soul Transformation refines the mortal self,
Then it transforms the Nascent Soul into the Primordial Spirit.
The Primordial Spirit itself has three phases: Yin Spirit, Yang Spirit, and True Spirit.
At this moment, Chu Feng had condensed the power of the Yin Spirit,
And awakened the bloodline power within his body.
With the aid of a Bloodline Enhancement Pill, his bloodline purity soared to the royal level.
He opened the system panel:
[Name: Chu Feng]
[Realm: Mid-stage Soul Transformation]
[Age: 999/3000 years]
[Constitution: Infinite Sacred Body (30% awakened), Infinite Bloodline (Royal Level)]
[Technique: Celestial-level technique, Supreme Celestial Art]
[Treasure: Celestial-level treasure, Heavenburning Sword]
[Divine Powers: Celestial-level Ninety-Nine Dragon Subduing Palms, Celestial-level One Sword Opens Heaven’s Gate]
And finally, the twenty-four-hour Extraordinary Comprehension Experience Card.
Any technique bestowed by the system—be it the Dragon Subduing Palms or the Sword that Opens Heaven’s Gate—was only at the introductory stage, to say nothing of the Supreme Celestial Art he’d purchased from the Fortune Mall.
Three thousand lines, each corresponding to a grand principle.
This alone was enough to justify its reputation as the strongest cultivation technique across the myriad worlds.
Though he’d bought five hundred lines, enough for an independent system, their profundity was unfathomable. To this day, Chu Feng had only scratched the surface.
The deeper his comprehension, the more he realized the boundless depth of the art, and the more ignorant he felt.
Now was the perfect opportunity to use the Extraordinary Comprehension Card to truly comprehend it.
While Chu Feng was cultivating in seclusion,
An uninvited guest arrived at the Shen family in Four Seasons City.
Ever since Chu Feng had led a force to destroy the Zhao clan, the Shen family stood unrivaled.
Moreover, it was widely known that the Shen family’s head, Shen Chong, had a remarkable daughter who became the concubine of a Supreme Mystery Dao Sect Nascent Soul ancestor, elevating the family’s status.
For thousands of miles around, all the great powers came to offer congratulations and lavish resources upon them,
Making the Shen family’s prominence second to none.
But today,
A mighty pressure suddenly descended upon the Shen household,
Forcing even the livestock to their knees.
