Cultivation: I Signed in with the Talent of an Immortal at the Start

Chapter 629: Hongmeng Flying Fish, A Different Way of Cultivation

Han Xuanji was not in a hurry to practice those powerful Divine Abilities from the Great Thousand Soul Book, but was instead consolidating his cultivation as an Eternal Dao Lord.

Not to mention those Secret Techniques and Divine Abilities were not easy to master; he was currently no different from someone who had just stepped into the Eternal Dao Lord Realm.

By making his Realm more solid, he might be able to obtain even more outstanding Cultivation Techniques through the System after he arrived at the Eternal Continent later.

Inside the cultivation chamber, the eternal qi was purified by a special device to be increasingly pure as it swirled around Han Xuanji. A dao-rhythm flowed around him, his expression calm. He adapted to the laws of the Hongmeng Sea while silently circulating his Cultivation Technique to refine the eternal qi within his body.

Time passed.

One day, two days…

After the Transcendence of Chaos, the length of each day here was longer than before. In terms of time flow conversion, every day that passed was likely more than a year in the Original Chaos Universe.

Immersed in his cultivation, Han Xuanji gradually lost track of time.

After an unknown amount of time, a sound from the cultivation chamber interrupted his practice.

When Han Xuanji opened his eyes again, a glimmer flashed in them. His aura was more solid than before, and his strength had further improved.

Although he had not reached the Second Level of the Eternal Dao Master Realm, his cultivation progress had seen a substantial increase.

The joy of seeing one’s strength grow every day was incomparable to anything else.

“It must be the residual power of the water of eternity taking effect…”

Han Xuanji knew clearly that such a significant increase in strength in a short time was not due to high talent, but because the residual power of the water of eternity had finally taken effect.

Even on the Eternal Continent, the water of eternity was a relatively Advanced cultivation resource, not something ordinary people could afford.

Han Xuanji stopped thinking about these things and said in a deep voice:

“Please come in.”

A second later, Hun Qianling walked in. In her hand, she carried a Primordial Chaos Alien Species that shimmered with a pale golden luster. It was slender, about ten-some meters long, with a silhouette resembling a fish but possessing two wings. Its structure was unique, covered in fine, smooth scales. Faint eternal qi drifted from its body; even though it had lost its life, one could still feel the vast energy contained within.

Hun Qianling walked up to Han Xuanji and gently placed the Primordial Chaos Alien Species on a nearby table. With a gentle smile and a natural tone, she said:

“Fellow Daoist Xuanji, you have mostly adapted, haven’t you? This thing might be of some help to your Breakthrough.”

Han Xuanji looked at the Primordial Chaos Alien Species beside him, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes. He stood up, walked forward, and lightly brushed his fingertips over the creature’s scales, clearly feeling the pure eternal qi within.

Although its size seemed completely incomparable to those terrifying giants in Chaos that were often as large as stars, the energy it contained was on a different level.

“This is a Hongmeng Flying Fish, a specialty of the Hongmeng Sea.”

Seeing this, Hun Qianling explained slowly:

“It has very weak aggression and a gentle temperament. It is the most common cultivation ingredient in the Hongmeng Sea. Its flesh contains a large amount of pure eternal qi, making it very suitable for Cultivators at or below the Eternal Dao Lord level.”

At this point, her tone shifted, and her expression became serious:

“However, don’t ingest too much at once, or there might be side effects. Don’t be fooled by the size of the Hongmeng Flying Fish; though it seems insignificant compared to those creatures in Chaos, there is a qualitative difference between its energy and that of Chaos Creatures. If you are too eager for success, it is easy to be burst.”

Hun Qianling emphasized this repeatedly, fearing Han Xuanji might act recklessly.

After all, he was an almost invincible existence in Chaos. Now, having achieved Transcendence of Chaos and suddenly being subjected to the shackles of this world, his combat power had drastically decreased—from being invincible in Chaos to becoming an ordinary Eternal Dao Lord. Such a huge drop could easily lead to an unbalanced mindset.

She was also worried that Han Xuanji would neglect his own capacity in his haste to increase his strength.

Hearing this, Han Xuanji nodded slowly, taking Hun Qianling’s warning to heart, while his fingertips remained on the scales of the Hongmeng Flying Fish. He estimated that even with his current Eternal Dao Lord Realm, it would take quite some time to fully devour the energy within.

Han Xuanji did not immediately accept it. Instead, he looked up at Hun Qianling and asked sincerely:

“Thank you for your trouble, Fellow Daoist Qianling. But with such a precious cultivation resource, what about you? What about yourself? You should be close to a Breakthrough too, right?”

Hun Qianling smiled relaxedly, waved her hand, and said frankly:

“Don’t be so polite, Fellow Daoist. We were very lucky; we caught two just now during the voyage. This one is for you, and I’ll keep the other for myself. It’s enough for my current cultivation needs.”

As she spoke, her gaze was open and honest; she clearly genuinely wanted to give this resource to Han Xuanji.

Seeing her sincere expression, Han Xuanji felt a slight stir in his heart.

(T/N: Oho Xuanji? Is spring finally coming for you my dear MC?)

“Thank you, Fellow Daoist Qianling. I, Han, will remember this kindness.”

Han Xuanji bowed slightly, his tone solemn as he thanked her again.

“If Fellow Daoist Qianling ever needs help in the future, I, Han, will certainly do my best to assist.”

Hun Qianling smiled and waved her hand, her tone light:

“No need to be so formal. We are traveling together; it’s only right to look out for each other. Go ahead and refine this resource to stabilize your Realm. I’ll also go Cultivate for a while and strive to break through before we reach the Eternal Continent.”

Han Xuanji nodded gently and watched Hun Qianling turn to leave the cultivation chamber. He then looked at the Hongmeng Flying Fish, a hint of warmth flashing in his eyes. He calculated inwardly that this resource had come at the perfect time. He could use the eternal qi within to further elevate his Realm and make up for his lack of combat power.

On the other side, Hun Qianling walked out of the cultivation chamber and returned to the control console with light steps.

She performed a few quick operations on the console. With silver-white light flickering at her fingertips, she activated the thousand spirits vessel’s auto-navigation mode. A clear flight path appeared on the screen; the warship would travel steadily according to the preset route, avoiding known dangers in the Hongmeng Sea. If an emergency occurred, it would immediately sound an alarm.

The only drawback of auto-navigation was the inability to hunt those Primordial Chaos Alien Species. However, Hun Qianling felt that one fish would likely be enough for Han Xuanji to Cultivate for a while.

After confirming the auto-navigation was running correctly, Hun Qianling went to another cultivation chamber and took out another Hongmeng Flying Fish from her Storage Ring.

This flying fish shimmered with a pale silver luster and was only over three meters long—nearly half the length of the one given to Han Xuanji. The luster of its scales was also dimmer, and the eternal qi drifting around it was much thinner. Clearly, in terms of energy purity and total volume, it was far inferior to the one in Han Xuanji’s hands.

She found a place to sit down, a faint smile on her face, without the slightest hint of reluctance in her heart.

In her view, leaving the better resource for Han Xuanji was far more worthwhile than using it herself.

After all, her current cultivation was more about recovering to her previous level rather than a Breakthrough, so her need for resources was not urgent. Han Xuanji was different. He had just achieved Transcendence of Chaos and was in a critical period where he needed a large amount of resources to stabilize his Realm and seek a Breakthrough. This Hongmeng Flying Fish with more vast energy would be of greater help to him.

Moreover, she was intent on recruiting Han Xuanji to join the Hun Family. The stronger Han Xuanji was, the greater the help he would be to her and the Hun Family.

On the other side.

Inside the cultivation chamber, Han Xuanji was unaware of Hun Qianling’s thoughts. He looked at the several-meter-long Hongmeng Flying Fish on the Jade Platform, his expression calm as he slowly raised his hand.

His fingertips were like sharp blades, gently slicing across the scales of the Hongmeng Flying Fish. With a soft “Rip” sound, the fine, smooth scales were easily cut open, revealing the crystalline white and delicate fish meat inside. A dense surge of eternal qi instantly erupted, filling the entire cultivation chamber.
