I Can Fix My Talent in Hundred Lives-Chapter 374 - 303: Return to Yunlan

At the peak of Yunlan Mountain, the perpetual clouds were swept away by an invisible force, revealing a hundred-foot-wide bluestone platform.

Chen Xihua sat cross-legged at the center of the platform, his long black hair casually tied behind his head, with strands interwoven with tiny streaks of silver-white electricity—an indication of the Destruction Dao Principle operating at its peak.

His eyes were slightly closed, and the Sword Acupoint at his brow faintly glowed. Within three feet around him, the void assumed a peculiar "virtualization" state.

Falling dead leaves that touched this area silently turned to ash, and even the surrounding Spiritual Qi was crushed into light points by the invisible Dao Principle.

This was the embryonic domain transformed by the Destruction Dao Principle, not fully solidified yet, but possessing the power to "destroy all things."

After an indeterminate amount of time, Chen Xihua slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, which turned into a faint golden stream, swirling through the air before dissipating.

He opened his eyes, in which a brilliant Sword Light initially flashed, then quickly subsided, leaving only a tranquility as deep as the starry sky.

He raised his hand to grasp the "Taiyue Void-Slaying Sword" by his side, the blade quivering slightly in his palm, emitting a joyful hum.

"I have finally achieved the Third Realm Perfection."

"The Small Thousand World truly is a place of enlightenment!"

He had consecutively inherited the legacy of the Ancient Xichuan Sword Mansion and the Wuji Immortal Mansion’s Secret Manual, learning many ancient secrets buried by the sands of time.

He clearly understood that in the Spirit Realm, where Spiritual Qi was abundant, cultivation had better resource support, yet achieving Dao Principle insights was not as conducive as in the Small Thousand World, where Dao Principle transformations could occur in such a great environment.

Now, he was not even two thousand years old but had comprehended the Destruction Dao Principle to the point of Third Realm Perfection, just one step away from condensing a true Dao Domain.

Such a rapid comprehension speed was almost unimaginable for a Divinity Transformation Cultivator in the Spirit Realm.

What’s more, he was comprehending such a profound and enigmatic Dao Principle like "Destruction," which had potential for condensing a Dharma Seed.

Yet amid the joy, a trace of worry quietly crept onto Chen Xihua’s brow.

He waved his hand, and a Water Mirror appeared before him, reflecting his appearance. Though still handsome, a hint of frost white was already visible at his temples.

"It’s a pity that after ancient times, this world’s resources are limited, making cultivation more and more difficult."

He sighed softly; to reach Mid-stage Divinity Transformation, he had nearly exhausted the resources inherited from the Xichuan Sword Mansion, barely achieving Mid-stage Divinity Transformation.

Accumulating cultivation to break through to Late-stage Divinity Transformation seemed as distant as the heavens, tremendously difficult.

"More importantly, there’s the loss of essence and the inability to extend life!"

In the ancient golden eras, with abundant Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, Divinity Transformation Cultivators could live six or seven thousand years, and some who practiced special techniques could even reach ten thousand years.

But in today’s Celestial Abyss Realm, with its damaged origin and depleted Spiritual Qi, the lifespan of Divinity Transformation Cultivators is under three thousand years, not even half of what it was in ancient times.

Now, he was not yet two thousand years old; if he did not ingest a Longevity Elixir, he would face the predicament of exhausting his lifespan.

"Only in the Spirit Realm can we resolve the calamity of lifespan and continue our Dao path!"

The Spirit Realm, with its abundant Spiritual Qi and deep origin, not only had ample resources for breakthrough but could also replenish his lifespan, giving him enough time to pursue the Great Dao.

With this in mind, his gaze became increasingly resolute, and the Destruction Dao Principle around him fluctuated correspondingly, causing the surrounding void to ripple once again.

...

Days later, the clouds at the peak of Yunlan Mountain were denser than usual, yet there was a hint of Sword Qi weaving through the clouds, making a gentle "whizzing" sound.

Suddenly, a hearty laugh pierced the clouds, echoing across the mountain peak:

"Fellow Daoist Life-Annihilating, last time you visited, I was cultivating in the Great Wilderness, and today I finally meet you!"

Before the sound faded, a green figure swept out from the clouds; it was none other than the Late-Stage Nascent Soul Cultivator of the Chen Clan, Chen Fengxing.

He wore a green Daoist Robe, his face filled with warm smiles, accompanied by several Nascent Soul Sword Cultivators, including Chen Liexiao.

Chen Fengxing quickly walked towards Chen Sheng standing on the mountain’s peak, his smile halfway unfolded before suddenly freezing, and his steps subconsciously halted.

His pupils shrank abruptly, staring intently at Chen Sheng’s figure, the originally casually emitted aura was instantly retracted, and the Spiritual Power around him tightened.

To him, Chen Sheng appeared to be standing there, ordinary in every respect, yet the aura around him blended perfectly with Heaven and Earth, as though he was part of this very world.

This aura was exactly the same as Celestial Venerable Xihua whom he often visited!

"Di—Divinity Transformation..."

Chen Fengxing felt inexplicably awkward; he had previously addressed incorrectly and hurriedly adjusted his Daoist Robe, respectfully bowing with his hands cupped:

"Congratulations, senior, on achieving the Divinity Transformation Realm!"

The Nascent Soul Sword Cultivators nearby initially didn’t notice anything unusual due to their lesser discernment. But when they heard Chen Fengxing’s words, they all looked at Chen Sheng in disbelief.

After all, a hundred years ago, Chen Sheng was merely Late-Stage Nascent Soul!

Quickly circulating their Spiritual Power for closer perception, although they could not sense as clearly as Chen Fengxing,

they too felt the unfathomable aura surrounding Chen Sheng, hastily bowing along, their voices filled with uncontainable reverence:

"Congratulations, senior, greetings to Celestial Venerable of Life Destruction!"

Chen Sheng slightly nodded, maintaining his usual cold demeanor, his voice calm yet carrying a penetrating power:

"I wish to meet Celestial Venerable Xihua."

"Hahaha, there’s no need for that, I am already here."

A joyful voice came from the void, followed by gathering strands of primordial spirit golden light in front of Chen Sheng, transforming into a figure dressed in a moon-white sword robe. It was Chen Xihua.

As soon as he appeared, his gaze fell upon Chen Sheng, and a trace of satisfaction, even approval, flashed briefly in his originally calm eyes:

"In less than a century, Fellow Daoist has achieved Enlightenment and broken through to the Divinity Transformation Realm. Such talent and perseverance are indeed admirable and worthy of celebration!"

Chen Sheng’s primordial spirit was connected with Heaven and Earth, and he naturally sensed the more condensed Destruction Dao Principle around Chen Xihua, a principle whose power had multiplied several times over the past century.

He managed a rare stiff smile and cupped his hands in salute:

"It’s been a hundred years, and Fellow Daoist’s Destruction Dao Principle has also reached its peak; this too is a matter for celebration."

Chen Xihua laughed heartily, raised his hand in a gesture of invitation, and the Taiyue Void-Slaying Sword floated behind him, emitting a clear sword hum:

"Fellow Daoist has come a long way and endured hardship. Come with me into the mansion to discuss in detail, I have prepared Spirit Tea, perfect for discussing our Dao path insights."

Chen Sheng nodded in agreement and walked alongside Chen Xihua towards the depths of the Yunlan Mountain’s cave mansion.

Chen Fengxing and the others exchanged glances filled with shock, especially Chen Liexiao, who was overcome with endless joy, muttering to himself: 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"Two Celestial Immortals of Divinity Transformation, our Chen Clan has two Celestial Immortals of Divinity Transformation..."

...

In the inner hall, the scent of tea lingered.

On the bluestone tea table, an Ice Jade Tea Furnace gently steamed with white mist, the aroma of the tea leaves inside permeating the room, making anyone who inhaled it feel clear-minded.

Chen Xihua held the teapot, pouring tea, and the light green tea soup flowed into the White Jade Tea Cup like nectar, with a layer of fine spirit light floating on the surface that lingered.

The two of them briefly discussed Sword Dao insights for half a stick of incense.

Chen Sheng put down his tea cup, and a bright blue light emerged from his brow, gathering into a palm-sized Star Map in mid-air.

On the Star Map, countless stars flickered, and near the most brilliant silver star was a cluster of densely marked restriction patterns, precisely the coordinates of the Spirit Realm.

"This is..."

Chen Xihua’s gaze was immediately drawn to the Star Map, leaning forward reflexively, the teapot in his hand clattered against the tea table, spilling hot tea, yet he seemed unaware.

He reached out to touch the Star Map but stopped mid-air, afraid of disturbing the precious coordinates, eyes filled with incredulity.

Chen Sheng gently pushed the Star Map towards Chen Xihua, his voice calm yet with weight:

"This is something I obtained through fate, the precise coordinates of the Spirit Realm."

Chen Xihua’s fingers trembled as he extended a strand of primordial spirit power into the Star Map.

When the realm boundary patterns and spatial node distribution of the Spirit Realm were clearly reflected in his sea of consciousness, he abruptly slapped the tea table and stood up:

"Good! Such a Spirit Realm coordinate! With this map from Fellow Daoist, the affair of the Spirit Realm is settled!"

Chen Xihua paced excitedly within the cave mansion, the Taiyue Void-Slaying Sword behind him buzzing with joy in its hum.

For years, he had searched ancient ruins, expending endless effort to go to the Spirit Realm, but only had vague coordinates. Now that such a Star Map had appeared, how could he not be delighted?

He turned to Chen Sheng, eyes ablaze with eager light:

"Fellow Daoist, although the journey to the Spirit Realm is perilous, with our preparations, we are certain to succeed! Why not traverse the void with me, and together explore the higher Dao path there?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Sheng fell into contemplation.

His original plan was to achieve Divinity Transformation Perfection in this realm, comprehend the Dao Principle to its peak, and then attempt traversing to the Spirit Realm.

But seeing Chen Xihua’s confidence, his own heart was moved.

Seeing Chen Sheng say nothing, Chen Xihua thought he was concerned about the oath made to the Chen Clan in the past, and he quickly stepped forward, speaking sincerely to comfort him:

"Fellow Daoist, are you worried about the oath of that day? You need not be! I have long prepared comprehensive measures for the clan, ensuring there will be no failure."

Pausing, he earnestly spoke: "Fellow Daoist, the Dao path is paramount!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Sheng felt warmth in his heart, then lightly nodded: "Very well, I will accompany Fellow Daoist!"

Seeing this, Chen Xihua was overjoyed, bursting into laughter:

"Excellent! I will immediately send messages to the other Daoists. With Fellow Daoist joining, this endeavor will surely be even more successful."
