Chapter 742: Chapter 741: Gu Yuexi: I Advanced Two Minor Realms in One Night. A Mosquito Definitely Can’t Do That
Chu Sheng listened to the story, lost in thought.
The fatty continued his tale.
"After doing all that, the little boy left and never returned to Luoping City."
"Everyone only knows that the little boy buried the Evil Dragon somewhere near Luoping City."
"But no one knows the exact location."
"Until not long ago, a Loose Cultivator went to Qiuming Mountain west of the city to gather herbs. He accidentally fell into a cave and discovered the Evil Dragon’s burial ground."
"When members of the Dragon Race die, the Dragon Qi and Energy from their corpses will slowly seep into the ground, giving birth to all sorts of Heavenly and Earthly Treasures."
"After a hundred thousand years of evolution,"
"that Evil Dragon’s burial ground is bound to be full of good things. Dragon Blood, Dragon Scales, Dragon Bones, and the Spirit Grass that grew alongside them—they’re all treasures."
Hearing this, Chu Sheng was very confused.
"Since you old bros all know about this great place, why don’t you go in and check it out yourselves?"
"With your strength at the True God Realm, you could just waltz right in, couldn’t you?"
Lin Wenjian sighed at his words, his face full of regret.
"Of course we wanted to go, and we even tried."
"But the burial ground is suppressed by a strange Law. Only Cultivators below the Divinity Transformation Realm can enter."
"Anyone whose Cultivation has reached the Divinity Transformation Realm or higher will be repelled by the Law as soon as they get near the entrance. They can’t get in at all."
"The few of us can only stare from the outside, completely helpless."
Chu Sheng had a sudden realization.
’No wonder they looked so disappointed when they learned I just recently broke through to the Divinity Transformation Realm.’
’So, anyone at the Divinity Transformation Realm or higher can’t get in at all!’
But for Chu Sheng, this wasn’t a problem at all!
Don’t forget, he was Gu Yuexi’s Contracted Beast.
Gu Yuexi’s strength had just advanced to the Profound Understanding Realm, which perfectly met the conditions for entering the Evil Dragon’s burial ground!
’When the time comes, Gu Yuexi can just walk right in openly.’
’As her Contracted Beast, I can just enter Gu Yuexi’s Beast Pet Space and go in with her. Simple as that.’
Just then, Lin Wenjian reached out and nudged Chu Sheng.
"Younger Brother Chu, stop thinking about it. It’s useless. You can’t get in."
"Hurry up and flip your card. It’s your turn."
"Alright!"
Chu Sheng replied, pulling his thoughts back to the present and continuing to play cards with them.
He flipped his cards and drank, all while casually asking for more details about the Evil Dragon’s burial ground.
Lin Wenjian and the others were tipsy and didn’t think much of it, spilling everything they knew.
Chu Sheng silently committed all the information to memory.
After he had gotten all the information about the Evil Dragon’s burial ground,
Lin Wenjian and the other five were pretty much drunk.
Their eyes were glazed over, and they had started to slur their words.
’Now’s the time!’
An idea sparked in Chu Sheng’s mind. He seized the opportunity, and his true body flew silently out of the Spirit Beast Battle Armor.
His form was extremely small, and with the Law of Darkness concealing his aura, the six drunken True God Realm experts didn’t notice a thing.
Chu Sheng flew behind them and began to "harvest" them one by one.
[Ding! Absorbed 50 points of Divine Blood. Estimated digestion time: two minutes. Estimated Divine Essence gain: 5 points.]
[Ding! A large amount of the Five Elements Law has been detected. Auto-Comprehension in progress...]
[Ding! Five Elements Divine Domain Comprehension +2%]
[Ding! Absorbed 70 points of Divine Blood. Estimated digestion time: three minutes. Estimated Divine Essence gain: 7 points.]
[...]
On the surface, Chu Sheng remained in his seat, dealing cards and laughing along with them.
But his true body was flitting about under the table, sinking its proboscis into the six True God Realm experts one after another, as busy as could be.
In just half an hour,
Chu Sheng had fed on all six of them, including Lin Wenjian.
The six men only felt their heads getting dizzier and their bodies weaker, assuming it was just the alcohol kicking in.
They didn’t suspect Chu Sheng in the slightest.
After playing for a while longer, Chu Sheng figured it was about time.
He pretended to be drunk and staggered to his feet.
"My dear bros, I really can’t drink anymore. I’m afraid I have to take my leave."
Lin Wenjian and the others didn’t think much of it.
"Alright, Brother Chu. Let’s hang out again when you have time."
Chu Sheng swayed as he walked out of the Drunken Immortal Bar.
「On the way back to the inn.」
He called up his system panel to check his gains from the trip to the bar.
[Divine Blood: 856 (Divinity Transformation Eighth Layer)]
[Divine Soul: 159 (Divinity Transformation First Layer)]
[Divine Essence: 3998 points]
His Divine Blood had skyrocketed, shooting straight up to the Divinity Transformation Eighth Layer.
His Divine Soul, however, had seen no gains, and the gap between it and his Divine Blood was growing wider.
After all, in the bar, he could only secretly absorb their Divine Blood; there was no way for him to absorb their Divine Soul.
Divine Blood was a physical aspect; they wouldn’t notice if a little was missing.
But Divine Soul was different.
Even the slightest disturbance would be immediately noticed by a Divinity Transformation Realm Cultivator.
Even if they were completely drunk, an attack on their Divine Soul would instantly sober them up.
Fortunately, Chu Sheng had the Soul-Collecting Butterflies.
More than ten thousand Soul-Collecting Butterflies had occupied the North Suburban Forest for years, absorbing the Divine Souls of many Cultivators who entered.
Some were directly absorbed and digested by the Soul-Collecting Butterflies.
Others were stored and converted into "Divine Soul Honey Brew."
The amount of Divine Soul Honey Brew stored by over ten thousand Soul-Collecting Butterflies was staggering.
Chu Sheng didn’t hold back. He took out a portion of the Divine Soul Honey Brew and began to slowly absorb and refine it.
His Divine Soul stat began to rise rapidly.
Soon, it caught up to his Divine Blood, with both reaching the Divinity Transformation Eighth Layer.
「Meanwhile, in the luxurious bathroom of the inn.」
Gu Yuexi, soaking in the warm water, slowly opened her eyes.
She had been in Cultivation for the entire night.
Her Realm had leaped past the Middle Stage of Profound Understanding and into the Profound Understanding Late Stage.
She was now just one step away from the Divinity Transformation Realm.
Gu Yuexi felt the abundant Spiritual Power within her, a slight smile gracing her lips. She was in a very good mood.
Between the Profound Understanding Realm and the Divinity Transformation Realm lay a massive chasm known as the Celestial Tribulation.
Many Cultivators spend their entire lives unable to cross this chasm.
But for Gu Yuexi, this chasm was nothing more than a wide, open road.
She possessed the complete inheritance of Immortal Venerable Shi Xi, giving her a perfect understanding of the Celestial Tribulation.
She also had the tribulation-transcending experience of the Beast Taming Empress, making her incredibly seasoned.
Overcoming the Celestial Tribulation would be incredibly easy for her.
It was a matter of course, with no difficulty whatsoever.
Gu Yuexi stood up from the bathtub, droplets of water tracing paths down her fair skin.
’A few days ago, I had just advanced to the Profound Understanding Realm.’
’Now, in just one night, I’ve reached the Profound Understanding Late Stage.’
’Such a rapid rate of advancement...’
’Even in the Spirit Realm, which is rich with Spiritual Qi, absolutely no Cultivator could achieve this.’
’Although I’m still a bit behind the mosquito, he’s only at the Divinity Transformation First Layer.’
’In three days at most, I’ll reach the Divinity Transformation Realm and catch up to him.’
’No matter how fast he cultivates, there’s no way he can reach the Divinity Transformation Second Layer in such a short time.’
’But I have my inheritances.’
’Before long, I’ll completely surpass the mosquito’s Realm and pin him down beneath me.’
The more Gu Yuexi thought about it, the more confident she became, and the smile on her lips widened.
Just the thought of Chu Sheng’s frustrated face after she surpassed him filled her with delight.
Just as she, full of confidence, reached for the bathrobe beside her,
she suddenly heard the familiar sound of flapping wings coming from the bathroom window.
Gu Yuexi subconsciously scanned the familiar aura.
In the next second, her hand, reaching for the bathrobe, froze stiff.
Gu Yuexi’s eyes widened in utter disbelief.
’One night... from the Divinity Transformation First Layer to the Divinity Transformation Eighth Layer...’
’How is that possible?!!’
Chu Sheng slowly flapped his wings into the bathroom and hovered before her.
Gu Yuexi was still too stunned to react.
Because she was so utterly shocked, she had overlooked one thing.
She had just finished her bath, and the bathrobe was still in her hand...
