Devouring Soul Emperor

Every one of these new disciples had made it through the Blood-soaked Land.

If nothing else, the repeated slaughters had honed a fierce fighting spirit in every one of them.

Previously, upon their arrival in this new environment, their ferocity and pride had been severely suppressed by the older disciples.

But today, seeing Chu Qingyun dare to argue his case and rise in defiance, ignited their own indignation and courage.

"You're all… asking to die…"

A Ninth-Level Martial Spirit's expression darkened, and he was about to step forward and attack.

However, someone beside him held him back. "Don't attack yet. That Chu Qingyun has riled them up, and their morale is soaring. We can definitely win a fight against them now, but they'll fight to the death. If things really get out of hand, it won't be good for us."

"Then what should we do? If we don't put them in their place, how can we ever show our faces in the Outer Sect again?"

"Heh heh, don't be hasty. In a few days, it'll be time to challenge the Saint Extreme Road. When the time comes, we'll make it so these new disciples can't even pass the first trial. They won't be able to set foot in the Saint Extreme Tower for half a year!"

"Hm? Excellent idea!"

"Haha, that's vile. But I love it…"

The group of over twenty people all left, roaring with laughter.

As they walked away, they continued to hurl insults and provocations, shouting that this batch of new disciples could forget about ever entering the Saint Extreme Tower.

The new disciples, on the other hand, all wore grim expressions.

Thanks to their surge of courage, they were no longer afraid of the older disciples.

However, they were all keenly aware that their overall strength was still far inferior to that of the older disciples.

"We're screwed. Those guys are actually planning to get revenge on us during the Saint Extreme Road trials."

"New disciples have to participate in the Saint Extreme Road trials in their first month to determine which floor of the Saint Extreme Tower they can access. There's no getting out of it this time…"

"The Saint Extreme Road trials determine which floor of the Saint Extreme Tower we can cultivate on for the next six months. If we can't even clear a single trial, we won't be able to enter the tower at all…"

The group of new disciples couldn't help but gather together to discuss the matter.

This matter concerned the vital interests of every single one of them, so they couldn't afford to be careless.

Meanwhile, Chu Qingyun and his two companions left the courtyard and walked around outside for a while.

"Dai, here is your Celestial Spirit Pill."

Chu Qingyun suddenly produced a jade box and handed it to Dai.

Dai took it and opened it. A scorching wave of heat surged out from the jade box. Inside lay an elixir the size of a longan.

The elixir was perfectly round and entirely golden, enveloped in a thick, semi-transparent layer of Pill Mist.

Even within the jade box, the elixir continuously radiated waves of heat.

This was a Spirit Level elixir—the Celestial Spirit Pill.

"You really refined a Celestial Spirit Pill in a single afternoon?" Mu Xiaoxiao exclaimed in delight.

Chu Qingyun nodded. "From that one piece of Magma Essence, I refined a total of three Celestial Spirit Pills: one Upper Grade and two Middle Grade."

"The one I'm giving Dai is the Upper Grade pill. It increases the chance of a successful breakthrough by fifty percent. After taking it, Dai should have no problem reaching the Seventh-Level Martial Spirit."

"I had a chance to make the last one Upper Grade as well, but unfortunately, I was disturbed by Elder Huang and the others."

Watching Dai hold the elixir, Mu Xiaoxiao was visibly moved. "You're a Sixth-Level Martial Spirit yourself now. If you give the Upper Grade elixir to Dai, what about you?"

"Me?"

Chu Qingyun smiled. "I have a Middle Grade Celestial Spirit Pill. That's more than enough."

The three of them strolled outside for a while longer. Once they estimated that Elder Huang and the others had likely left, they returned to the courtyard and went their separate ways.

Dai got some Primordial Spirit Liquid from Mu Xiaoxiao, preparing to use the Celestial Spirit Pill to attempt another breakthrough to the Seventh-Level Martial Spirit.

Chu Qingyun also returned to his room, ready to cultivate and attempt his own breakthrough.

The Primordial Liquid in his Qi Sea was already nearly full.

Chu Qingyun casually absorbed and refined some Primordial Spirit Liquid, completely filling his Qi Sea with Primordial Liquid. The familiar feeling of expansion returned.

Once his Primordial Liquid was full, Chu Qingyun closed his eyes and focused, attempting to break through to the Seventh-Level Martial Spirit.

When he broke through from the Third-Level to the Fourth-Level Martial Spirit, it had taken Chu Qingyun far more time than an ordinary breakthrough.

But this time, breaking through from the Sixth-Level to the Seventh-Level Martial Spirit was the first time he had felt any real difficulty.

Ten minutes later, Chu Qingyun still hadn't managed to break through. He felt like he was always missing just one little thing.

'Breaking from the Earth Spirit Realm to the Celestial Spirit Realm… this is probably the most difficult hurdle within the Martial Spirit Realm.'

'Good thing I prepared the Celestial Spirit Pill beforehand…'

'If I kept pushing, I might be able to succeed.'

But Chu Qingyun had no intention of continuing to force the issue.

'Since I have the Celestial Spirit Pill ready, I should make good use of it.'

Without opening his eyes, Chu Qingyun picked up the elixir he had already placed beside him and swallowed it in one gulp.

As soon as the Celestial Spirit Pill entered his stomach, Chu Qingyun immediately controlled a stream of Primordial Power to envelop it, beginning the process of Refining the elixir to accelerate the dispersal of its medicinal effects.

Inside Chu Qingyun's body, the golden Celestial Spirit Pill was refined by his Primordial Power into a mass of golden power.

A searing heat erupted within his body.

Chu Qingyun felt as if a fire had been lit in his stomach.

The golden power flowed along his meridians, finally converging in his Qi Sea.

Under the influence of this golden power, the Primordial Liquid in his Qi Sea seemed to ignite, its activity instantly surging.

Chu Qingyun seized the opportunity, mobilizing a vast amount of his Soul Power. Enduring the pain, he began to cultivate, continuously compressing and purifying the Primordial Liquid in his Qi Sea.

Five minutes later, Chu Qingyun exhaled a long, scorching breath.

He opened his eyes, a sharp glint of light flashing through them before quickly vanishing.

Seventh-Level Martial Spirit—breakthrough successful!

Chu Qingyun was now a Seventh-Level Martial Spirit!

A purer Primordial Power surged through the meridians in his body. Chu Qingyun stood up and stretched a bit, feeling an immense improvement in both his Primordial Power and his physical body!

At the Sixth-Level Martial Spirit, he could contend with an Eighth-Level Martial Spirit by using his Thunder Sword.

But now that he had reached the Seventh-Level Martial Spirit, the massive boost to his Primordial Power had led to huge improvements in all other areas. Now, facing an Eighth-Level Martial Spirit, a single sword strike would likely be enough.

He could even hold his own in a fight against a Ninth-Level Martial Spirit!

By the time he finished cultivating, night had fallen.

Chu Qingyun hesitated for a moment but decided not to go look for Mu Xiaoxiao and Dai. Instead, he got back on his bed and continued to cultivate his Ten Thousand Spirits Saint Body Inner Chapter.
