52: Childish voice, Dragon King

Chu Tian felt the vast and condensed Mental Energy in his mind and muttered to himself, as he slightly clenched his fist, an explosive power surged through him:

"The spiritual energy of this Holy Sky Pool contains more medicinal power than the medicinal liquid provided by the Family. In just one day, it allowed my Physical Body strength to reach 2.5 million jin. Now, even if I absorb more spiritual energy, I won't be able to increase it by even a single iota."

"Now, with the full burst of the Heavenly Dao Eye, my strength can even reach 15 million jin. Facing Ye Wen now, no matter what Divine Ability or trump card he has, he will be directly blasted apart by my single punch. One force breaks all methods; there will be no room for resistance."

"Although Ye Wen's spirit is vast, it is scattered and chaotic. Coupled with his weak Physical Body, insufficient Qi and blood, and poor Foundation, such a Cultivator is completely a waste. No matter how high a Realm he Cultivates to, he will be vulnerable and not worthy of being my opponent."

Chu Tian muttered to himself, holding deep contempt for a supporting character like Ye Wen. He had never considered these people as opponents before, let alone now.

However, if anyone knew Chu Tian's thoughts, they would probably be scared to death. To be merely in the Body Forging Realm and yet consider Ye Wen, who was among the top fifty on the Refining Spirit Ranking, a waste.

Chu Tian possessed this confidence and assurance. Now, his Physical Body had reached the Peak of the Body Forging Realm, and his spirit, vast and condensed into a tangible form, had also reached a point where it could no longer advance.

The dual Peak of Physical Body and spirit allowed him to look down upon all peers of his generation, ancient and modern.

"With the assistance of the spiritual Dao essence of the Holy Sky Pool, combined with the True Scripture, the Supreme Yin Yang Great Dao Art has also been comprehended to an extremely profound level, which is more than enough to condense the Yin-Yang Grand Dao Seed."

"Everything is ready, all that is needed is the east wind."

Chu Tian made up his mind, glanced at the pale-faced Ye Feng, slowly closed his eyes, and began to Breakthrough to the Refining Spirit Realm.

Chu Tian began to regulate his breathing,Converging Qi, bringing his body into a state of Perfection, guiding the Chaotic Creation True Scripture to circulate, regulating his tendons and bones, and steadying his spirit.

Time flowed.

Five days and nights passed, which was longer than the time Chu Tian had been in this world.

For five days, he did not forcefully try to break through the Bottleneck, but merely regulated his breathing, nurtured his body and spirit to Perfection, and familiarized himself with his own power. When the time came, he would consume the Supreme Forging Spirit Pill to renew the three auras.

Chu Tian felt that Cultivation emphasized a natural progression, like water flowing into a channel, subtly nourishing all things. Forcibly breaking through a Bottleneck would ultimately not lead to Perfection.

At night, scattered moonlight fell upon Chu Tian. Suddenly, his eyelids twitched slightly, as if waking from a deep sleep. At this moment, Chu Tian could suddenly see the scene within his own mind.

Chu Tian understood that he had Breakthrough to the Refining Spirit Realm.

In his mind, he saw a dark Void Realm, where a small Chaos-colored ball, about the size of a thumb, floated. With a slight thought from Chu Tian, vast Mental Energy emanated from it.

Chu Tian understood that this was the manifestation of his spirit after it had been condensed to its Peak.

However, if a strong practitioner were to forcefully break into Chu Tian's Sea of Consciousness at this moment with their spirit, they would probably be stunned, because from ancient times until now, no Cultivator has ever been able to condense their spirit into a tangible form in the Refining Spirit Realm.

Refining Spirit, Body Integration, igniting Divine Fire, and condensing the Divine Soul—only at this step will the spirit condense into a Divine Soul, allowing for Soul Emergence to roam the vast Void, to travel through the starry sky with one's spirit, and to comprehend the mysteries of the world while sitting at home.

Yet, Chu Tian had condensed his spirit into a tangible form in the Refining Spirit Realm, possessing thePrototype of a Divine Soul. This was simply an incredible feat.

"A typical Refining Spirit Realm practitioner's spirit can only cover ten meters around them, and a Refining Spirit Peak practitioner can only reach a hundred meters. Even a powerful figure like my father, Chu Tian King, at his Refining Spirit Peak, his spirit could penetrate his body and cover a thousand meters at most. I wonder how far I can reach now."

With a slight thought from Chu Tian, possessing the heavenly profound divine ring, he was completely unrestricted by the Holy Sky Pool. His spirit penetrated his body and instantly covered the hundreds of meters long plaza. At this moment, even the fine hairs on Duanmu Wan's face were clearly visible to him.

This was not beyond Chu Tian's expectations, as his condensed spirit and control ability were far beyond what Chu Tian King could compare to.

Chu Tian's spirit directly penetrated the Holy Sky Pool's barrier, heading towards deeper and more distant places.

One thousand meters, thirteen hundred meters, fifteen hundred meters, two thousand meters...

Finally, two thousand meters reached Chu Tian's current limit. However, he did not stop. His Heavenly Dao Eye in his glabella opened, and suddenly, Chu Tian's spirit expanded tenfold in vastness, continuing to swell.

Three thousand meters, four thousand meters...

Until it reached ten thousand meters, Chu Tian's spiritual expansion reached its limit. It wasn't that his spirit wasn't vast enough to sustain it, but rather that the spiritual Chaos bead restricted him, meaning it had reached the utmost limit that his current Realm could support.

Chu Tian was about to retract his spirit when, at that moment, a subtle spiritual fluctuation flowed through the Holy Sky Pool, and a tender voice sounded in his ear:

"Who... who... are... you."

The tender voice seemed to speak rarely, and its words were disjointed.

"Duanmu Saint Ancestor."

Chu Tian's heart trembled, and this name immediately appeared in his mind. His conjecture had come true. Although Ye Fan only entered the Holy Sky Pool more than ten years later, Duanmu Saint Ancestor's body, after hundreds of thousands of years of natural essence purification, had already given birth to a nascent Divine Sense.

He remembered that in the original plot, more than ten years later, Duanmu Saint Ancestor's nascent Divine Sense could already control her body and move freely within the Holy Sky Pool, which happened to be seen by Ye Fan, whose spirit was unrestricted. Just like a newborn baby seeing its mother for the first time, she recognized Ye Fan and developed a sense of dependence.

Chu Tian had originally only wanted to find an Opportunity to see if he could manipulate things here in advance.

He hadn't expected that after Breakthrough to the Refining Spirit Realm, by coincidence, he would actually have a spiritual resonance with Duanmu Saint Ancestor.

This was one of the greatest Opportunities Ye Fan obtained in the original plot, and it was also the final straw that completely tilted the precarious balance towards the Ye Family, crushing the Chu Family.

Chu Tian began to speak, communicating with the nascent Divine Sense.

"I... I'm... so... lonely. I... want... to... play with you." After a while, the tender voice suddenly said disjointedly.

Rumble, rumble, rumble...

Suddenly, from the deepest part of the Holy Sky Pool, a massive Jiaolong head emerged from the darkness, coiling and winding, rushing directly towards the plaza.

This Jiaolong was too enormous. Its body twisted and moved, causing the entire Holy Sky Pool's water to churn, raising astonishing waves. The entire plaza was impacted by the waves, violently shaking.

"Roar, roar, roar..."

Suddenly, roars echoed throughout the Holy Sky Pool. It turned out to be massive Jiaolong roaring, shaking heaven and earth. Chu Tian saw the thousand-meter-long Jiaolong not far from the plaza actually assume a prostrate posture, raising its head, as if welcoming the arrival of its King.

Saint Heaven Sect, Elder Peak.

Within the Elder Council, which had been in continuous debate for five days, the eyes of numerous Sect Elder constricted sharply, and they suddenly looked towards the direction of the Internal Affairs Hall's Holy Sky Pool.

"What's going on? The Dragon King, sleeping deep within the Holy Sky Pool, has actually awakened!" Ye Tianxiong's voice was filled with alarm.

At this moment, terrifying strong practitioners from the Chu Family, Ye Family, Duanmu Family, Gu Family, and Su Family all awakened, greatly shocked, not understanding why the Dragon King, who would not awaken until the Sect's demise, had suddenly revived.

The awakening of the Dragon King must signify an earth-shattering event.

"Duanmu Lei is presiding over the opening of the Holy Sky Pool. Quickly ask him what happened." Ye Tianxiong's voice trembled slightly.

At this moment.

Those in the plaza who had been awakened by the terrifying waves could no longer describe the shock in their hearts with words.

In the air, a dark Jiaolong head snaked out from the depths of the Holy Sky Pool. A single cold, tyrannical Dragon eye was larger than the entire plaza. Just making eye contact sent a terrifying Mental Energy impact.

"Puff, puff, puff..."

Suddenly, some older figures who had ignited Divine Fire, and even Heavenly God-level individuals, spat blood and immediately turned their heads, not daring to look again. This was because the stronger they were, the more they could feel the terrifying power of this Jiaolong. Its rampant, tyrannical spirit could even directly shock to death strong practitioners who had ignited Divine Fire.

"Look, beside the single horn on the Jiaolong's head, there seems to be a figure wearing a purple dress." A female Prodigy trembled as she spoke, pointing her finger at the Jiaolong's head, but suddenly unable to withstand the intense Mental Energy impact, she directly spat blood and fainted.
