Eternal Immortal Clan: It All Started When I Married My Junior Sister!

161: Breakthrough to the Void Refinement Realm: Extraordinary Phenomena of Heaven and Earth!The meeting ended, and everyone dispersed with excitement and anticipation. The entire Tianxuan City instantly entered a high-speed state of war preparedness.

As for Chen Xu, after finishing his instructions, his figure flickered and he directly appeared on the top floor of the Ten Thousand Paths Heaven-reaching Tower.

Inside the tower, the Laws were clear, and Dao Rhyme flowed. The flow of time was completely different from the outside world.

Chen Xu sat cross-legged, but he did not immediately begin the Breakthrough.

He slowly closed his eyes, his mind sinking into his Sea of Consciousness as he began to adjust his state.

The Primordial Chaos Dao Body within him emitted a faint purple light, and his majestic magic power, like a surging river, circulated through his Meridians again and again.

The Eternal Azure Cloud Art activated on its own. At this moment, his Essence, Qi, and Spirit continued to rise and condense!

One day... two days... time passed rapidly inside the tower.

When Chen Xu opened his eyes again, his gaze was as calm as a bottomless ancient pool. His entire aura was harmonious and without leaks, reaching an unprecedented Peak state.

It was time!

A sharp light flashed in Chen Xu’s eyes as he took out a jade bottle.

Inside the bottle, a drop of milky-white liquid, emitting a seven-colored treasure light and enshrouded in a dense fragrance, floated quietly.

It was precisely that ten-thousand-year geovein spirit milk!

Without the slightest hesitation, he tilted his head back and swallowed this Heaven and Earth Divine Object!

Boom!

As the Earth Vein Spirit Milk entered his throat, it wasn’t as violent as imagined. Instead, it turned into a vast and boundless, yet warm and jade-like torrent of life, instantly flowing through his entire body!

Chen Xu’s body jolted, and within the Purple Mansion, the seated Primordial Chaos Nascent Soul suddenly opened its eyes!

”Break for me!”

Chen Xu let out a low roar in his heart!

The Eternal Azure Cloud Art within him began to circulate frantically at an unprecedented speed!

Under his guidance, that majestic spirit milk energy transformed into a supreme divine light that could split the heavens and earth, ruthlessly charging toward the Void Refining Stage Bottleneck.

It crashed into it!

There was no world-shaking roar.

There was no stubborn resistance.

Under the washing of that majestic and warm spirit milk energy, the Bottleneck he had imagined was unexpectedly fragile and couldn’t withstand a single blow!

”Pop!”

A soft sound.

That layer of membrane instantly dissolved!

A Breakthrough?

Just like that?

A hint of bewilderment flashed through Chen Xu’s mind, but he didn’t have time to think further.

His consciousness was suddenly pulled away by an irresistible mighty force!

Buzz!

His consciousness broke free from the shackles of his Physical Body, instantly soaring high, penetrating the barriers of the Ten Thousand Paths Heaven-reaching Tower and the protection of the Nine Dragons Town Heaven Xuanhuang Formation.

It even penetrated the grey sky of the Beiming Wilderness!

In the next moment, he felt as if he were in an endless dark starry sky.

There was no up, down, left, or right here, and no concept of time or space.

Countless bizarre lines intertwined, traversed, and collided on this dark canvas.

Each line represented a Law.

There was the Law of Fire, as scorching as fire, and the Law of Earth, as heavy as soil.

There was also the incredibly sharp Law of Metal... and among them, the most numerous and most violent were the grey-black lines.

They were like furious and irritable giant pythons, crazily twisting, biting, and entangling with each other in the void, emitting an aura of chaos, fragmentation, and destruction.

The Spatial Law!

This was the Spatial Law of the Beiming Wilderness!

Because of that earth-shattering battle in ancient times, the space here had long been fragmented.

The Laws were chaotic to the extreme.

Any normal Cultivator, upon sensing such chaotic Laws during their Breakthrough to Void Refining, would likely have their Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering in fear, and their Dao Heart would collapse.

Because the essence of the Void Refining Realm was ”Refining the Void.”

It involved entrusting a wisp of one’s Divine Thought into the Spatial Law, thereby reaching a stage of preliminary control over the Laws.

This was like a small boat about to enter a river.

A normal river has a gentle current, and the boat can go with the flow.

But this ”river” in the Beiming Wilderness was full of stormy waves and undercurrent whirlpools.

Once a small boat entered, the only outcome would be being torn to pieces!

However, as Chen Xu looked at these violent and chaotic Laws of Space.

He didn’t feel the slightest bit of fear.

Instead, he felt a sense of... familiarity!

It was as if these giant pythons, which seemed hideous and terrifying to outsiders, were in his eyes.

Nothing more than a group of mischievous children.

Grandmist is the beginning of all Daos and the source of all Laws!

His Primordial Chaos Nascent Soul was naturally superior to all Laws!

When ordinary Cultivators Breakthrough to Void Refining, they ”conform” to space.

They carefully place their small boat into the river and leave it to fate.

But what Chen Xu wanted to do was not to conform!

It was to conquer! To assimilate! To drive!

”Come!”

Chen Xu’s consciousness let out a roar.

His Divine Soul power transformed into ten thousand purple-gold Divine Thought tentacles.

He ruthlessly grabbed those violent and chaotic lines of the Spatial Law!

”Hiss! Hiss!”

Those grey-black lines of the Spatial Law seemed to sense a huge threat.

They began to struggle and resist violently!

Waves of chaotic spatial cutting force frantically counterattacked along the Divine Thought tentacles.

They wanted to completely tear Chen Xu’s consciousness to shreds!

”Submit... to me!”

Within Chen Xu’s Divine Thought, the human emperor seal that suppressed the Chen Family’s Luck.

Suddenly appeared!

The supreme Imperial Dragon Qi, mixed with Primordial Violet Qi, transformed into purple-gold flames.

It spread frantically along the Divine Thought tentacles!

Sizzle! Sizzle!

The moment those violent grey-black lines came into contact with the purple-gold flames, it was as if they had met their nemesis.

Their struggle grew weaker and weaker.

That chaotic and violent aura was being rapidly purified and tamed!

Immediately after, the color of those Law lines began to change.

They were forcibly dyed with a layer of domineering purple-gold!

Chen Xu was using his own will to forcibly change the Laws of this world!

Taking them for his own use!

While Chen Xu’s consciousness roamed the void and tamed the Laws.

On the top floor of the Ten Thousand Paths Heaven-reaching Tower, his Physical Body, which was sitting cross-legged.

Was also undergoing an earth-shattering transformation!

Crack! Crack!

Cracks began to appear on the surface of his skin.

Like porcelain about to shatter.

Then, the old skin began to crack and peel off.

Turning into mundane ashes and scattering with the wind.

And beneath that old skin, new skin was revealed!

It had a texture like glazed jade.

A faint golden luster flowed over it, as if it were no longer a body of flesh and blood.

But a precious body cast from jade!

With every breath, a massive amount of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was inhaled into his body, merging into his limbs and bones.

Making this precious body even stronger and purer!

This was the first step from a mortal body toward an immortal body!

The Physical Body was transforming!

The Divine Soul was sublimating!

However, at this critical moment of transformation, wisps of faint black Qi quietly diffused from the void, gathering toward Chen Xu’s brow.

Within that black Qi was endless resentment, despair, and unwillingness.

The Heart Demon Tribulation!

A Cultivator’s journey is inherently Heaven-Defying, and every step is accompanied by endless danger.

Especially a Breakthrough in a major Realm like Void Refining, which would attract the prying eyes of Extraterrestrial Demons.

They would transform into a Cultivator’s deepest fears and most persistent regrets, magnifying them infinitely.

With the slightest carelessness, one’s Dao Heart would fail, leading to Qi Deviation.

At best, one’s cultivation would be completely lost; at worst, one would die on the spot!

Seeing that the wisps of black Qi were about to condense and transform into the most terrifying Heart Demon.

But at that moment!

Buzz!!

A purple-gold divine light erupted from Chen Xu’s body!

That was the supreme status originating from the Primordial Chaos Dao Body!

It was the purest energy from the ten-thousand-year geovein spirit milk!

And even more, it was the most masculine and positive Imperial Dragon Qi from the human emperor seal!

That black Qi that had just condensed.

Didn’t even have a chance to turn into an illusion.

The moment it touched this purple-gold divine light, it was instantly evaporated completely!

Not even a trace was left behind!

Heart Demon Tribulation?

Before this absolute suppression of status, it didn’t even have the qualification to approach!

It was directly shattered on the spot!

When the last hidden danger was wiped out.

Chen Xu’s consciousness, which had been roaming the void, also completely finished the preliminary assimilation of the Spatial Law.

It turned into a purple-gold stream of light and instantly returned!

At the same time, the Primordial Chaos Nascent Soul in his Purple Mansion also turned into a stream of light and flew out from between his brows!

Nascent Soul! Divine Soul! Physical Body!

At this moment, they were a complete trinity, perfectly fused!

Boom!

A terrifying aura that could not be described in words.

Erupted from within Chen Xu’s body!

The entire top floor of the Ten Thousand Paths Heaven-reaching Tower shook violently under this aura.

As if unable to withstand this power, it could collapse at any moment!

And this was only the beginning!

...Tianxuan City.

After several months of reorganization and construction... this was no longer the deathly silent ruin it once was.

Inside the city, the markets, streets, and residences were all in good order.

Every Cultivator of the Chen Family was full of energy and hope.

The members of the Zhao Family had also settled down. Under Chen Daoxuan’s arrangement, a brand-new Refining Artifact Pavilion was rising from the ground on the east side of the city, bustling with activity.

Everything seemed so prosperous.

However, at this very moment!

The originally grey sky was, without any warning, dyed with a layer of strange purple-gold!

That light was so brilliant and so domineering.

It instantly penetrated the clouds, enveloping the entire Tianxuan City and even the barbaric desert for thousands of miles in a purple-gold glow!

”What’s going on?!”

”Why has the sky changed color?”

All the Cultivators in the city, whether they were cultivating or working.

Were all startled by this sudden Heaven and Earth Anomaly, each one looking up at the sky in horror.

Then, an even more terrifying phenomenon appeared!

”My Spiritual Qi! My magic power is draining!”

A Chen Family disciple who was meditating let out a cry of alarm.

He discovered in horror that the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi around him was being forcibly pulled away by an invisible force beyond his control!

It wasn’t just him!

It was the entire Tianxuan City!

It was that ancient dragon vein buried deep underground, stretching for ten thousand miles!

The Spiritual Qi in the city, which was originally so dense it had almost materialized, was at this moment sucked in by an invisible giant beast opening its mouth,

at a speed visible to the naked eye, it became thin!

Everyone felt a suffocating sense of oppression!

The source of this terrifying suction pointed directly at that towering white jade pagoda in the center of the city!

The Ten Thousand Paths Heaven-reaching Tower!

”Roar—!”

The Nine Dragons Town Heaven Xuanhuang Formation that enveloped Tianxuan City.

It seemed to sense this overbearing and peerless will.

The nine golden dragons protecting the city, condensed from Imperial Dragon Qi, let out roars of awe and submission.

Instead of stopping the loss of Spiritual Qi, they actively opened up access.

Allowing that power to take whatever it desired!

”It’s the Family Head!”

Atop the city wall, Sect Master Ba Dao, who was on patrol, was the first to react.

He looked at the Heaven-reaching Tower shrouded in purple-gold divine light, feeling that familiar yet strange overbearing aura; his rugged face was instantly replaced by fanaticism!

”The Family Head... he’s about to succeed!”

Meanwhile, inside the City Lord’s Manor... Chen Daoxuan and Murong Zhuyun, who were handling Family affairs, also rushed out instantly.

They looked up at the sky, their faces filled with a shock that words could not describe!

Above Tianxuan City, endless Spiritual Qi was forcibly drawn away by that terrifying suction, gathering together.

It actually formed an incredibly massive purple-gold vortex!

The vortex rotated slowly, like a space-time tunnel connecting to an unknown world.

It emitted a terrifying pressure that made one’s soul tremble!

”Refining the Void Realm, magic power backflow! This is... this is the sign of reaching the Void Refining Realm!”

Murong Zhuyun’s breathing became extremely hurried, her pretty face now flushed.

It was excitement, and even more so, shock!

She had once been fortunate enough to see descriptions of a Void Refining powerhouse’s Breakthrough in ancient books.

Drawing in the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi for backflow, the momentum was grand.

But compared to the world-destroying scene before her, the descriptions in those ancient books were like a drop in the ocean, a firefly compared to the bright moon!

Draining the Spiritual Qi of an ancient dragon vein to complete a Breakthrough?

What kind of terrifying accumulation was this?

What a Heaven-Defying Foundation?!

”Father... he succeeded!”

Chen Daoxuan clenched his fists, his eyes full of pride and glory!

And in the east of the city, in front of the Refining Artifact Pavilion that had just begun to take shape.

The old man Zhao De also stared blankly at the massive purple-gold vortex in the sky, feeling that imperial aura of ruling over the world and being the sole sovereign; he felt as if he had been struck by lightning, completely stunned.

The dozen or so Zhao Family disciples behind him were even more weakened by this divine heavenly pressure.

One by one, they slumped to the ground, faces full of fear and awe.

Escaping the mine, killing the supervisor... building a city in the barbaric wilds, occupying a dragon vein... casually bringing out countless divine materials to build flying boats... and now, triggering such a world-destroying Breakthrough phenomenon!

At this moment, Zhao De suddenly understood.

The person his Zhao Family had sought refuge with was no desperate fugitive, nor some powerful outsider!

But a true... Nine Heavens Divine Dragon!

They were going to follow this young Family Head and witness the rise of a myth with their own eyes!

The purple-gold Spiritual Qi vortex shrouding Tianxuan City did not collapse or dissipate after rotating to its limit.

Instead, an even more incredible transformation occurred!

Boom!

From the center of the vortex, a ten-thousand-zhang divine light suddenly erupted!

It was no longer that overbearing and peerless purple-gold.

That seemed to swallow everything.

But a warm and peaceful, brilliant golden glow filled with endless vitality!

Golden beams of light, like paintbrushes in the hands of a god.

Pierced through the eternal gray sky of the Beiming Wilderness!

Wherever the light passed, the gray clouds were instantly dispersed, and the haze weighing on everyone’s hearts seemed to be purified by this holy radiance!

Immediately after, ten million streaks of auspicious Qi poured down from the vortex!

Thousands of auspicious streaks, ten thousand rays of dawn light!

Like golden waterfalls, they fell upon every corner of Tianxuan City and onto the desolate and dead Gobi desert outside the city!

A bizarre scene occurred!

On the black soil outside the city, which had been eroded by violent Spiritual Qi for countless years and was long devoid of grass, tiny green sprouts actually emerged at a speed visible to the naked eye!

In just a few breaths, these sprouts grew rapidly in the wind!

The desolate Gobi was transformed into a vibrant green grassland in an instant!

Specks of spiritual light flickered among the grass blades; it was no longer the mixed Spiritual Qi of the barbaric wilds.

But purified, pure, and gentle life Origin Qi!

”A miracle! This... this is a miracle!”

Atop the city wall, a young Chen Family disciple watched the earth-shaking changes outside the city, trembling with excitement and speaking incoherently.

Everyone was completely shocked by the scene before them!

This was no longer the power of a Cultivator; this was the divine power belonging to a god!

The power to create life and change heaven and earth!

And this was only the beginning!

The vast auspicious radiance centered on Tianxuan City and spread frantically in all directions!

A thousand miles!

Three thousand miles!

Five thousand miles!

Ten thousand miles!

Within a radius of ten thousand miles, the entire sky of the Beiming Wilderness.

Was shrouded in this holy golden light!

Within this vast area, all the Yao Beasts that were fighting and hunting each other stopped their actions at this moment.

An Early Stage Void Refining Yao King, who was chasing its prey, suddenly stiffened its massive body.

It raised its hideous head and looked toward Tianxuan City.

In those crimson eyes, endless fear instantly took over!

It was as if an ant was looking up at the heavens!

”Awoo...”

This Yao King, who usually acted like a tyrant, let out a mournful cry from its throat, and its mountain-like massive body crashed to its knees!

Not just it!

Within a radius of ten thousand miles, whether it was low-level Yao Beasts that had just gained intelligence, Soul Transformation Yao Beasts occupying a territory, or those Void Refining Yao Kings hidden in forbidden lands and abysses!

At this moment, every single one of them!

Prostrated on the ground!

Facing the direction of Tianxuan City, offering their awe!

Ten thousand demons paying homage!

Inside Tianxuan City, everyone’s minds were already dazed by the succession of heaven and earth phenomena.

Just then, the entire Tianxuan City shook violently!

”Ang—!”

A dragon roar thundered from deep underground.

Resounding through the clouds!

That was the ancient dragon vein connected to the Luck of Tianxuan City!

It was cheering!

Jumping for joy! Congratulating its new master on reaching a higher Realm!

The next moment!

The Nine Dragons Town Heaven Xuanhuang Formation shrouding Tianxuan City activated itself again without anyone driving it!

Nine ten-thousand-zhang golden dragons condensed from Imperial Dragon Qi.

Roared out from the light screen!

They did not emit the slightest killing intent; instead, they circled and danced around that towering white jade pagoda!

Dragon roars echoed, and divine light was brilliant!

This scene completely ignited the emotions of everyone in the city!

”The Family Head’s Divine Might!”

Sect Master Ba Dao could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart.

His face flushed, and he let out a sky-shaking roar at the top of his lungs!

”The Family Head’s Divine Might! May his immortal blessings last forever!”

”The Family Head’s Divine Might! May his immortal blessings last forever!”

All the Chen Family members in the city, no matter where they were, spontaneously knelt on the ground and let out the most fanatical shouts toward the Heaven-reaching Tower!

The sound waves gathered together like rolling heavenly thunder, exploding across this barbaric land!

To the east of the city, the Refining Artifact Pavilion!

Old man Zhao De, along with the dozen or so Zhao Family members who had just joined, had already slumped to the ground.

Zhao De’s wrinkled old face,

Was now filled with fanaticism and relief that words could not describe.

He looked at the nine golden city-protecting dragons flying around the pagoda and felt that supreme will of ruling over the world; the last bit of reluctance and humiliation in his heart had long since vanished.

Replaced by an endless honor!

Good fortune!

A massive stroke of good fortune!

How could his Zhao Family be worthy of following such a true dragon?!

Not to mention just having a Divine Soul Restriction planted; even if he were to be a slave or servant from now on, he would be willing!

Thinking of this, Zhao De was so excited he couldn’t control himself.

He struggled to get up, bowed heavily toward the Heaven-reaching Tower, and shouted with all his might.

”This old servant Zhao De, leading the entire Zhao Family, congratulates the Master on his Major Achievement! I am willing to go through fire and water for the Master, and would not hesitate even if I were to die ten thousand deaths!”

Just as ten thousand people were bowing and the sound shook the universe!

The door to the highest level of the always-calm Ten Thousand Paths Heaven-reaching Tower slowly opened amidst a flow of misty Daoist charm.

A figure stepped out from within.

He walked through the air as if there were invisible steps beneath his feet.

Dressed in green with black hair like a waterfall, his face was as handsome as a Heavenly God.

His eyes were as deep as the starry sky.

It was Chen Xu!

The moment he stepped out of the pagoda, the auspicious radiance in the sky seemed to have found its home, frantically gathering toward his body.

With every step he took forward, a brilliant Golden Lotus of the Dao would bloom out of thin air in the void beneath his feet!

The golden lotuses swayed, their Daoist charm naturally formed!

Walking on Lotuses!

At this moment, Chen Xu was like a supreme God King walking in the human world.

Every move he made caused the Heaven and Earth Laws to resonate!

He slowly raised his hand and clenched his fist.

An unprecedentedly terrifying power.

Gathered in his palm.

His Divine Thought spread out like a tide, instantly covering tens of thousands of miles.

Everything in this barbaric land—the flow of the wind, the movement of Spiritual Qi.

Even the fear in the hearts of every prostrating Yao Beast.

Was clearly visible in his perception!

Void Refining!

This was the power of the Void Refining Realm!

Initially mastering the Spatial Law and wandering through the great void!

However, a flash of surprise crossed Chen Xu’s eyes.

He could clearly feel that the magic power in his body was much more than that of an ordinary Early Stage Void Refining Cultivator.

It was more than ten times as thick!

The energy of that drop of ten-thousand-year geovein spirit milk was simply too vast!

Coupled with his pervertedly deep Primordial Chaos Nascent Soul Foundation!

The combination of the two allowed him to skip the so-called Realm stabilization period and directly reach the Peak of the Early Stage Void Refining Realm!

He was only one step away from the Middle Stage of Void Refining!

”Now, if I were to encounter that Middle Stage Void Refining Elder from the Tianyu Holy Land again...”

A cold arc curled at the corner of Chen Xu’s mouth.

”One punch would be enough!”

At that moment, the System notification sound thundered in his mind!

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully breaking through to the Void Refining Realm; the Family’s strength has greatly increased!]

[Calculating rewards...]
