Chapter 88: The joy of the nouveau riche, Chen Daoxuan breaks through

Chi Yun looked at the forty empty stone jars, his mouth agape, unsure of what to say. Moments ago, he thought the tea tree might not be able to absorb all the spirit fluid in a few jars. But now, not a single drop was left!

"What grade is this tea tree...? To absorb this much spirit fluid? Sigh… this is a problem now. I don't have any left!"

Chi Yun sighed helplessly, regretting not saving some in advance. Even a single jar would have been fine!

Within the entire Scarlet Cloud Secret Realm, he had only managed to gather this much spirit fluid—how precious it was! Especially now, with the Scarlet Cloud Secret Realm collapsing, obtaining spirit fluid would become much more difficult!

Little did he know that at that very moment, Leng Yanran and Li Shenruo were soaking in a pool of refined spirit fluid, a mixture of various top-grade materials, even richer and more potent.

"Oh right, I collected the bodies of several experts from the Ren Clan earlier. I haven't had the chance to absorb them. This would be the perfect time!"

Suddenly, Chi Yun slapped his forehead, remembering an extremely important matter.

He retrieved a storage pouch and lightly tapped it on the ground. A neat row of Ren Clan experts' bodies appeared before him.

Chi Yun first searched the bodies, removing their storage treasures and the Five Elements Formation Flags.

"Pavilion Master, these are the belongings of the Ren Clan members. I didn't have a chance to hand them over earlier."

Approaching the small pavilion, Chi Yun respectfully presented the storage treasures and Five Elements Formation Flags. He didn't dare to keep these things for himself.

"Oh? I almost forgot about that. I haven't collected the spoils from the Ren Clan yet."

Chen Daoxuan had initially planned to start his breakthrough right away, but upon hearing this, he suddenly remembered the storage treasures of the Ren Clan's ancestors. Being a Nascent Soul realm expert, they must have had valuable treasures!

Accepting the storage treasures, Chen Daoxuan didn't even spare them a glance. He silently activated his thoughts: "Exchange all the items on this table for system points!"

[Diing, you have gained a total of 32,600 system points from this exchange.]

"Hissss… Darn, this feeling of sudden wealth… I haven't even had a chance to spend the system points in my hand, and now I've gained more than thirty thousand more!"

Chen Daoxuan gasped, realizing that with the points he just gained, he now had a whopping 118,900 system points!

He could probably reach the Void Sky Realm with these points, and perhaps even make progress in the Profound Sky Realm!

Indeed, to accumulate system points, one needed to take lives… act righteously and uphold justice for the heavens, yes, that's it!

"Pavilion Master, may I refine the corpses of the Ren Clan members?"

Seeing a tableful of storage treasures suddenly disappear, Chi Yun wasn't particularly surprised. He assumed the Pavilion Master had collected them. So, he straightforwardly voiced his most pressing concern.

If he could absorb the bodies of the Ren Clan members, especially that Nascent Soul realm ancestor, he could potentially advance by two or three minor realms!

"While respecting the deceased is important, this method seems rather unethical. Furthermore, this kind of practice may lead to the accumulation of negative karma, which isn't good.

"How about this: first, study this 'Great Compassion Mantra' and use it to guide their souls to a better place. By doing so, you'll gain some merit. Afterward, you can refine their bodies to offset any negative karma."

Chen Daoxuan pondered, realizing that letting Chi Yun manage the Northern Domain might be necessary for his growth. Thus, he spent 10 system points to exchange for a 'Great Compassion Mantra: Soul Guidance' manual and handed it to Chi Yun.

Now, being financially well off, spending 10 system points didn't even faze him.

In the future, there would be many assassination missions to fulfill, and at that time, Chi Yun could use the 'Great Compassion Mantra' to guide and refine the souls all at once. A win-win situation!

"Very well, Pavilion Master!"

Chi Yun was momentarily stunned. Initially, he thought the Pavilion Master might reject the idea of refining the deceased. Although he felt regret, he didn't dare to defy the Pavilion Master's will.

But who could have predicted that the Pavilion Master's suggestion was even more terrifying—first guiding the souls and then refining the bodies? How horrifying…

Guiding souls didn't require a high level of cultivation. Leveraging his boundless realm, Chi Yun quickly memorized the 'Great Compassion Mantra: Soul Guidance' chapter.

Subsequently, he approached the multitude of Ren Clan corpses, expertly clasped his hands together, and began reciting the scripture…

If not for his strong corpse aura, he might have appeared even more professional than the Abbot Kong Kai!

In no time, the process of soul guidance was complete.

"I'm going to start now…"

Chi Yun gazed at the numerous corpses of experts as if he were looking at a group of beauties.

But before he could start the refining process, a branch suddenly struck, piercing through the body of the Ren Clan's ancestor. In an instant, the corpse rapidly decayed and eventually dissipated into dust.

"Huh? You absorb spirit fluid, and now you're even snatching bodies? Hey, hey, hey! Divine Tea Tree, please spare that one for me! I'm begging you, leave one for me!"

Chi Yun was dumbfounded as he witnessed the Enlightenment Tea Tree absorb the bodies of the four elders one by one, even absorbing the insights they had accumulated over their lifetimes.

In the end, after Chi Yun pitifully pleaded, the Enlightenment Tea Tree spared the body of the aforementioned Ren Uh.

Quickly, Chi Yun began the refining process, but the Enlightenment Tea Tree didn't took his share for free. It lightly touched Chi Yun's back, transferring the insights it had absorbed moments ago.

In a nearby small pavilion, Chen Daoxuan couldn't help but chuckle at the scene.

Without further delay, he spoke up.

"System, is it correct that it takes ten thousand system points to breakthrough to the Void Sky Realm?"

[Yes, Host, would you like to spend ten thousand system points to initiate the breakthrough?]

"Nonsense, it's just 10,000 points. Just Use it! People will think that I, Chen Daoxuan, can't afford it! Give me the cultivation to break through to the Void Sky Realm!"

The corners of Chen Daoxuan's mouth rose slightly. With a huge sum of nearly 120,000 system points in his pocket, he finally stiffened up!

[Ding, deduct 10,000 system points and exchange for 10,000 years of cultivation!]

As the system sounded a notification, Chen Daoxuan felt that the cells in his whole body seemed to start to boil.

In every inch of his skin, in every drop of his blood, in every single cell, it was as if a blaze was ignited. And his realm, too, began to surge at an astounding rate!

Second Layer of the Qi Sea Realm!

Third Layer of the Qi Sea Realm!

Fourth Layer of the Qi Sea Realm!

…

Ninth Layer of the Qi Sea Realm!

Without a moment's pause, in just the blink of an eye, he had surged from the initial First Layer of the Qi Sea Realm to the formidable Ninth Layer!

In an instant, the sky over Illusory Void Mountain spanning a hundred miles transformed. Although it was noon and the sun was shining brightly, the entire sky suddenly turned pitch-black!

Crack!

With a sound audible only to Chen Daoxuan, the bottleneck shattered.

First Layer of the Void Sky Realm!

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

A tumultuous surge of spiritual energy erupted within the boundaries of the Heavenly Dao Hall. Countless torrents of spiritual energy thundered, converging madly toward Chen Daoxuan!
