As the Spirit Evil Qi surged into Lu Chen’s body, a tearing pain imdiately spread throughout his body. Even though Lu Chen possessed a trendously strong Divine Soul, he almost couldn’t withstand it.
Lu Chen quickly adjusted the rhythm of his Qi Absorption, reducing the intake of Spirit Evil Qi. Although the pain was still intense, he could barely endure it.
At that mont, he suddenly felt so changes in his body. As a person with Earth’s mories, Lu Chen knew about the existence of cells, and he felt as if the cells in his body were constantly dividing and dying, with the newly ford cells becoming stronger.
After the Spirit Evil Qi passed through his body, the growth and death of those cells accelerated, and the newly created cells beca even more powerful, making his body stronger.
Soon, a burst of energy rushed out from Lu Chen’s body, flipping over the stone table in the pavilion.
Lu Chen imdiately opened his eyes, a slight smile appearing on his face. In just a month, he had broken through to the Peak of Mortal Realm. At this cultivation speed, it might not take long for him to break through to the Human Realm.
At this mont, in the shadow of a rockery in the courtyard, Zhao Yu felt an overwhelming sense of shock after sensing Lu Chen’s breakthrough.
Lu Chen had gone from an ordinary person to the Peak of Mortal Realm in just one month. The speed of this realm advancent was astonishingly fast.
The most important part was that Lu Chen had not absorbed any Spirit Evil Qi from strange and ominous beings, relying solely on the Spirit Evil Qi in the air.
There are many types of Spirit Evil Qi. In this world, there’s also Spirit Evil Qi floating in the air, but these are very thin and impure. The Spirit Evil Qi in the bodies of strange ominous beings is very concentrated and pure, so Spirit Martial Artists need to rely on such beings for rapid realm advancent.
Initially, Zhao Yu had planned to provide Lu Chen with so corpses of strange ominous beings, but considering that Lu Chen had just beco a Spirit Martial Artist, absorbing Spirit Evil Qi from these beings so quickly would cause great harm to his body, so he didn’t provide any to Lu Chen.
But now it seems that even without absorbing Spirit Evil Qi from strange beings, Lu Chen’s realm advancent speed is much faster than the average Spirit Martial Artist.
From Mortal Realm to Peak of Mortal Realm in just one month. Zhao Yu had never heard of such a thing in all his years.
After the shock, Zhao Yu finally felt relieved. He had always been worried that after the death of Prince Zhen Nan, the Zhen Nan Prince Manor would fall into decline. Now it seems that the Zhen Nan Prince Manor might continue for several more centuries.
Even if Lu Chen doesn’t fully mature, as long as the people of the Zhen Nan Prince Manor remain united, and Lu Chen holds on until his child grows up, the Zhen Nan Prince Manor will still have a chance to rise again.
After breaking through to the Peak of Mortal Realm, Lu Chen’s perception of his surroundings beca much sharper. At this mont, Lu Chen realized that although his Divine Soul was powerful, its power couldn’t be fully unleashed due to the limitations of his current body.
However, as his strength increased, the advantages of his powerful Divine Soul started to show. His senses were sharper than those of an average Spirit Martial Artist at the Peak of Mortal Realm. Lu Chen clearly felt a presence of Spirit Evil Qi beside the rockery in the courtyard.
Lu Chen tentatively spoke to the rockery, "Commander Zhao, what brings you here at this late hour?"
In Lu Chen’s view, with various forces eyeing the Zhen Nan Prince Manor, his father would definitely send a strong protector. As the heir of the Zhen Nan Prince Manor, his father likely sent soone of Earth Realm strength to protect him, and Zhao Yu was the most probable choice, especially since Zhao Yu also served as his teacher.
Upon hearing Lu Chen’s words, Zhao Yu was taken aback. He had already hidden his presence, yet Lu Chen still detected him.
Subsequently, Zhao Yu stopped hiding and stepped out from the shadows, "Princely Heir, congratulations on breaking through to the Peak of Mortal Realm."
"The Prince is concerned that soone might harm you, so he specifically sent to protect you."
Lu Chen replied, "I see."
Lu Chen then asked, "I feel the Spirit Evil Qi in the air is quite thin. From now on, if I want to continue advancing in realm, do I need the Spirit Evil Qi from strange and ominous beings?"
Upon hearing Lu Chen’s question, Zhao Yu hesitated for a mont before finally speaking, "Technically, once a Spirit Martial Artist reaches the Mortal Realm, they can begin to absorb Spirit Evil Qi from strange beings. However, since you have just beco a Spirit Martial Artist, I’m concerned your body won’t withstand the corrosion of Spirit Evil Qi. That kind of Qi is more concentrated and pure, and the potential harm to the body is greater."
Zhao Yu didn’t want Lu Chen to rush into contacting strange beings. Now that Lu Chen had shown his potential, the powerful figures of Zhen Nan Prince Manor wouldn’t leave, so there was no need for Lu Chen to be in such a hurry to grow stronger.
If he rushed to beco stronger, harming his body would be counterproductive.
Unfazed by Zhao Yu’s words, Lu Chen said, "It’s fine, I can handle it. At first, you can catch a few weak ones for ."
Seeing Lu Chen’s determination, Zhao Yu said, "If you truly wish to absorb the Spirit Evil Qi from the body of strange beings, I can catch a Lantern Deceit for you now. Lantern Deceit is very weak, and its Spirit Evil Qi isn’t that pure, so it won’t be as painful to absorb."
Most noble families keep so relatively weak strange beings as resources for Spirit Martial Artists to enhance their power.
The underground of the Zhen Nan Prince Manor also has so strange beings in captivity.
Among the beings kept by the Zhen Nan Prince Manor, the weakest is the Lantern Deceit. This strange being is very common in Dazhou. It can often be found wherever there are desolate graves, and its strength is so weak that even if an ordinary person encounters one, the most they will suffer is a minor injury, without any threat to their life.
After considering for a mont, Lu Chen, who had never absorbed Spirit Evil Qi from a strange being before, agreed it was better to proceed step by step, and then said, "Alright, I’ll trouble you then, Commander Zhao."
As soon as Lu Chen finished speaking, Zhao Yu’s figure once again disappeared into the shadows. In just a mont, he returned from the shadows holding a struggling Lantern Deceit in his hand.
The Lantern Deceit had a human face and emitted a faint red glow.
After approaching Lu Chen, Zhao Yu directly crushed the Lantern Deceit to death.
At the mont the Lantern Deceit died, Lu Chen felt an influx of Spirit Evil Qi in the air, and these were much more aggressive than the ordinary Spirit Evil Qi. As they entered his body, they frantically devoured his vitality.
However, the ability of this Spirit Evil Qi to devour vitality was limited, and it reached a point where it could no longer continue.
Lu Chen then sat cross-legged and began to operate the "Spirit Evil Body Refining Skill," continuously absorbing the Spirit Evil Qi from the corpse of the Lantern Deceit.
