In front of the stone wall, a chanical stone gate opened.
As everyone knows, Chu Huaixu is a very polite person.
After all, others see him as the heir of the Dao Ancestor, yet he doesn’t even have a place to pay respects to the spirit of the Dao Ancestor.
Today, just by looking at this word "Dao" for a short while, he has gained so much, truly moving!
How can he not feel embarrassed!
He imdiately bowed and cupped his hands, performing a disciple’s salute, shalessly affirming his identity to himself.
"Disciple of the Daoist Sect, Chu Huaixu, has now inherited your teachings and learned the ’Dao Scripture.’
"Disciple thanks the Dao Ancestor for the gift."
His Sea of Consciousness has now beco more solid, and his Power of Divine Sense has increased by a full fifty percent, which fills him with great joy.
Now, Chu Huaixu clearly knows how stable his Sea of Consciousness is.
"My current Sea of Consciousness now has three layers of defense."
"The outermost layer is that half-strand of Power of Origin, which circles around the Heart Sword’s blade, seemingly being utilized by it."
Currently, Chu Huaixu does not have the strength to wield the Power of Origin; he is too weak.
But when this power was looking for a foothold, it imdiately found the Heart Sword.
Originally, the Heart Sword was the outermost defense of Chu Huaixu’s Sea of Consciousness.
Now, it has suddenly beco the Power of Origin.
In this way, even those with high cultivation won’t be able to harm him!
One would have to first break through the half-strand of Power of Origin’s protection, then encounter the Heart Sword, and finally his insignificant Divine Sense, which is "not worth ntioning" before the other two.
Evidently, the power contained within the word "Dao" carved by the Dao Ancestor is extrely profound.
It can evade the cultivator’s perception, making it undetectable and untraceable.
However, as this Inheritance Secret Realm is set within the Outer Sect, its difficulty shouldn’t be too high, making it suitable for Outer Sect prodigies to train.
This renders it unable to break through the protection of the Power of Origin.
Yet, the Dao Ancestor’s thods are so skillful that neither the Heart Sword nor Chu Huaixu detected anything unusual.
All of these combined turn into a "free reward."
Having received this "welco gift," Chu Huaixu’s goodwill towards the Dao Ancestor suddenly began to soar.
Truly worthy of being a person renowned through the ages, such generosity!
Of course, he also felt that the Dao Ancestor had a touch of vanity.
"If you just appreciate the carved word ’Dao’ for the full eighty-one breaths, you get a ’small gift.’"
Isn’t this like a retired old wealthy man funding an exhibition, attracting people with free gifts?
He’s given you gifts, what can you say?
Chu Huaixu can only say: "This word ’Dao’ is carved excellently!"
...
...
Before the stone wall, Chu Huaixu lifted his eyes for one last glance at the word ’Dao.’
In truth, he really felt that the word was carved extrely well!
Anyway, it suits his aesthetic.
He wasn’t in a hurry to move forward but checked the instance’s clearance rewards first.
The result, however, showed only a hundred thousand experience points.
Regarding the ager hundred thousand experience points, he wasn’t surprised.
"After all, it’s just an instance set in the Outer Sect, so it’s normal for the experience points to be low."
"Like in the previous Cold Pool Secret Realm, the experience points award was even more paltry, but the main gain was the Profound Celestial Fetal Breath Pill!"
"Usually, the stingier the experience points, the more this proves that the other rewards in the instance will be richer."
With this thought, Chu Huaixu couldn’t help but feel a bit more enthusiastic.
He began to quicken his pace, walking towards the stone gate.
Inside the stone gate was a long, narrow passage.
At the end of the passage, at the exit, there was a light mbrane emitting a white glow, through which nothing inside could be seen.
It seed that one just needed to pass through this light mbrane to enter the next level.
"Logically speaking, this is a single-player instance."
"Once soone has entered the next level, others shouldn’t be able to enter."
"So, is this light mbrane actually a restriction?" Chu Huaixu speculated.
He slowly moved forward and then stood in front of the light mbrane, inspecting it closely for a mont.
Then, he tentatively raised his finger and gave it a gentle touch.
Instantly, another strand of the Power of Dao Scripture within him was absorbed.
Then, his finger passed through the light mbrane.
It seed like the fingerprint was correct.
Chu Huaixu’s face showed a relaxed smile, and he easily passed through the white light mbrane into the second level.
As soon as he stepped in, he couldn’t help but frown.
Because what lay before him was—a land of remnants!
To be precise, remnants of many puppets.
This was a very spacious clearing, basically circular in shape.
The radius was estimated to be at least half a mile.
And this ti, a giant Dao character was carved on this clearing!
Chu Huaixu took a few steps inside and then squatted down, picking up the arm of a puppet.
He directly cast an "Information Detection" over it to see if any useful information could be gathered.
"[chanical Puppet:
Combat power equivalent to an ordinary Second Realm Great Perfection Body Cultivator (adjustable)
Suitable for array combat.]"
Chu Huaixu looked at the information that surfaced, slightly surprised.
"Oh, so it’s a fellow simulating and Xiaoxu."
He didn’t expect he was holding a remnant of a simulated Body Refiner.
He stood up and counted the number of heads.
"There are a total of nine."
But what does "adjustable" an as indicated in the Information Detection?
With a little thought, he understood: "It should an that its combat power can be adjusted, capable of increasing or decreasing."
"So according to this, the Big Ice Cube might already be at Second Realm Great Perfection?" Chu Huaixu speculated in his mind.
Facing nine chanical puppets of the sa realm, especially when they’re in an array, would not be easy.
Of course, the key difficulty still lies in setting up the formation.
The difference between strong and weak formations can be huge.
But since it’s left by the Dao Ancestor, it must be extraordinary.
Chu Huaixu carefully scanned the ground, and indeed found so dried bloodstains.
chanical puppets wouldn’t bleed, so these bloodstains must be from Han Shuangjiang.
"She’s injured." His heart tightened, and his eyes showed concern.
He imdiately walked forward and even crushed a broken puppet leg along the way.
After entering the stone gate, there was indeed a small stone chamber inside.
There was almost nothing in the room except for a giant wooden barrel.
Once Chu Huaixu stepped into this stone chamber, his body started to beco uncontrollable again!
Just like before when he couldn’t move his gaze away, he could only look at the character[Dao]!
He began to walk towards the wooden barrel.
Chu Huaixu did not resist deliberately.
Because this thing was obviously the reward for passing through!
"So, the Big Ice Cube did all the work, and I still got to enjoy all the benefits?" He thought to himself.
Previously, he only said he’d just have a close look, but unexpectedly, every ti there was a big opportunity, he made the most of it.
Just like this, he walked to the side of the wooden barrel, and his body started to flip into the barrel.
It contained water.
To be precise, it was dicinal liquid.
It presented a color similar to decoction-made traditional Chinese dicine liquid and emitted a strong dicinal aroma.
Soon after, he sat cross-legged in the wooden barrel.
Without taking off his clothes, he just soaked inside.
Chu Huaixu imdiately realized.
"Could this be the leftover bath water of the Big Ice Cube..."
He thought the possibility was very high.
So, am I soaking in the bathwater she used?
Chu Huaixu: "..."
He attempted an [Information Detection], but a string of question marks popped up.
"I get it! It’s no ordinary item! It must be sothing good!"
He imdiately didn’t resent it anymore.
The bathwater of your own Dao mate, shouldn’t I be able to use it?
There are even people openly declaring they’d like to drink Black Widow’s bathwater!
Rounding up, it’s like having another lovers’ bath together.
Obviously, there was still dicinal power remaining in the barrel.
"This isn’t leftover dregs; it’s just that Han Shuangjiang hadn’t absorbed it all."
"But why didn’t she absorb all of it?"
"Wasn’t there enough ti? Or does it have its own absorption limit?"
Chu Huaixu leaned more towards the latter.
Though it’s a single-player dungeon, Dao Ancestor is generous, I’ve experienced it deeply, he would definitely leave enough dicinal power to prevent it from being insufficient.
Now it’s good, truly "fertile water doesn’t flow to others’ fields."
"This fertile water, disciple is gladly accepting." He thought.
Not long after, Chu Huaixu felt his body starting to heat up.
Then, an intense pain struck!
He now understood why taking a dicinal bath required the body to be controlled.
It turns out, it’s to press you firmly in the barrel, not letting you leave.
The pain was indeed quite severe.
Moreover, the pain’s location was very particular.
"It’s the ridians!"
These ridians are the essential path through which Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi flows as cultivators cultivate.
The Spiritual Qi circulates through these ridians, transforming into Spiritual Power, and storing within the cultivator’s body.
At the mont, it felt like blades were stirring within those ridians.
Chu Huaixu remained expressionless, feeling nothing.
But he quickly thought of another point.
"Hiss—! Isn’t it extrely painful for Han Shuangjiang?" He wondered.
After all, this cold-faced girl is different from him and Xiaoxu. She hasn’t been practicing the "Refining Sword Formulas," so her pain threshold hasn’t increased, akin to an ordinary person.
That being the case, it’s purely endurance that sustains her.
"Alas, if that’s the case, her experience might not be less than my first night upgrading with the Refining Sword Formulas."
Back then, his pain threshold hadn’t increased, and he felt tornted beyond asure.
Ti slipped away, lost in wild thoughts, he didn’t notice how long it had been.
Until his ridians no longer felt pain, he could finally move freely.
anwhile, a system notification sounded in Chu Huaixu’s ear.
"[Ding! Congratulations, ’Gathering Spirit’ attribute 1!]"
A hint of joy instantly appeared on his face.
"Sure enough, it’s an incredible item, able to directly grant 1 point in ’Gathering Spirit’!"
But clearly, Chu Huaixu had already reached the absorption limit.
He pressed his hands against the wooden barrel, preparing to rise and make a cool exit.
But as he half rose up, he sat back down.
Because Chu Huaixu realized, Dao Ancestor was indeed generous and magnanimous.
There must be dicinal power in the liquid left to be absorbed!
Suddenly, struck by inspiration, he wanted to try sothing new.
Once sitting back down, Chu Huaixu focused his mind and intent.
The next mont, a golden imprint appeared on his forehead, and golden flas began to burn in his eyes!
Body Refining Divine Techniques, Body Ascension!
