"Hiss~~~"
"This Ecological Bubble Sac system really has something to it. Just by munching on dirt like this, its power can maintain a steady, continuous increase. Is there really no bottleneck?"
"A proper cultivator practicing Qi condensation needs at least three months to build a foundation. Looking at the speed this guy's power is increasing, it would only take him... three hours?"
"Hiss... This isn't just a shortcut; this is taking the express lane. It's way too fast!"
"Such a pity, this old man really can't eat dirt though..."
While not fully understanding it, Cui Changsheng chose to respect it.
Thus, he decisively abandoned the Ecological Bubble Sac system, the one with the lowest barrier and easiest entry, and instead focused on the more complex Void Syntax system.
There was no other way. After severing his origin Dao traces and his Great Luo remnant body, his current body was clean, even spotless—a state of purest life essence. He had no cultivation base, no magic power, only the profound knowledge and seasoned experience accumulated over countless eons.
How could he possibly cultivate by eating dirt like Chen Hao?
Impossible! His body simply couldn't digest it!
"Hey brother, when did you get here? You smell amazing!"
Just as Cui Changsheng was preparing to leave the Sacred Void Secret Realm to seek opportunities elsewhere, Chen Hao suddenly pounced over like a starving tiger, his gaze blazing as he looked at this fair and clean young man.
"Let me guess, this is an immortal Dao spirit realm left behind by the Sacred Void Sect, inaccessible to mortals. I was brought in by my master. And you, my friend, you don't look like a local. An extra-dimensional visitor, right?"
Cui Changsheng gave a faint smile. "Little friend Chen Hao, this humble Daoist is Cui Changsheng, a senior to your master."
"Oh? Really? Then I must treat you properly!" Chen Hao's smile was brilliant as he quickly closed the distance.
He didn't believe a word of this guy's nonsense!
If he were really his master's senior, wouldn't his master have informed him?
It had to be said, the aura emanating from this fellow was utterly tantalizing. It felt to him... like the jade mud under that thousand-year-old peach tree back home—white, tender, juicy. Taking a bite... slurp... makes me a little homesick...
Of course, none of that was important. What mattered was he could tell at a glance this fair and clean guy wasn't human, clearly a spirit creature transformed from an extra-dimensional clod of earth!
No!
This should be called an extra-dimensional demon!
Despicable extra-dimensional demon, daring to disguise yourself as my master's senior to steal the opportunities of the Flying Star Continent?
I, Chen Hao, the sole cultivator on the Flying Star Continent besides my old master, will personally roast you into a sweet, fragrant little pastry!
After eating spirit soil for so many days, I'm about to puke. It's high time to taste a rare delicacy from beyond like you!
Thump thump thump...
One step, two steps, one step, two steps, one step two steps like claws, like the steps of a devil!
With an enthusiastic smile plastered on his face, Chen Hao hurried closer, afraid of scaring off this fair and clean extra-dimensional demon.
Cui Changsheng: "..."
What's with the drooling?
You want to eat this old man?
This damn familiar feeling, the exact same nature. Truly worthy of being Chen Yi's disciple!
Do you really think this old man is a powerless mortal now?
"Ice Soul Spike!"
Although his physical body had no magic power after severing his Dao fruits, his primordial spirit remained tough!
This was the accumulation of countless eons. Even having nothing now, it could still rival a deity!
A single Ice Soul Spike condensed from mental force was enough to freeze this little fool who'd lost his mind, letting him cool off properly!
However, Cui Changsheng overlooked one thing.
That was, Chen Hao was Chen Yi's closed-door disciple, and he still wore the Chaos Colored Pearl around his neck.
Although a free-range strategy was adopted for this closed-door disciple, given Chen Yi's nature, would he not leave some protective measures for his precious disciple?
Therefore!
When the formless mental attack, the Ice Soul Spike, approached within a meter of Chen Hao, the Chaos Colored Pearl suddenly glowed, solidifying the surrounding void and giving form to the formless spike!
"Huh? What's this? Cold and icy like a popsicle. Let me give it a lick... slurp... kinda numbs the mouth..."
Chen Hao was a little glutton. Limited by his own circumstances, aside from the dirt he was sick of eating, he wanted to taste everything else!
Of course, he wasn't an idiot. One lick of this popsicle and his tongue felt like it was being pricked by ten thousand needles. Clearly, it was an attack launched by that fair and clean guy!
At the same time, the slightly vibrating pearl on his chest reminded him that his master had intervened to block this attack for him!
"Tsk tsk tsk, quite the feisty temper. I have my master's protection, it's fine. I've decided, I'm eating you today!"
With that, Chen Hao stopped hiding his power. The Ecological Bubble Sac system activated fully, a terrifying force field erupting and instantly distorting the void for ten miles around!
It was impossible to judge Chen Hao's strength using orthodox cultivation systems. Judging by the aura he emitted, he was only around the conventional Golden Core stage, but this bizarre domain could firmly restrain even a Nascent Soul cultivator!
One must know, Chen Hao had only been cultivating for about two and a half days from start to now!
A practice duration of two and a half days, progressing from a regular mortal with some strength to suppressing a Nascent Soul Patriarch?
This guy is absolutely cheating!
"Stop, stop, stop! I really am your master's senior! Don't come any closer!"
Seeing Chen Hao charging towards him with menacing momentum, Cui Changsheng admitted he was starting to panic a little.
This guy's defense had Chen Yi's colored pearl, directly nullifying his mental force. His attack methods were extremely bizarre and hard to guard against. And most importantly, he had nowhere to run. This secret realm had been locked by Chen Yi; the exit would only open when Chen Hao reached a certain level...
Could it be that he, a former Dao Ancestor, was going to be chased around like a headless chicken by a dirt-eating little brat?
"Shut up! If I'm doing something wrong, my master will naturally stop me. But right now he isn't stopping me, which proves I'm not wrong. Stop struggling, it's useless. I'm eating you!"
Chen Hao's eyes blazed. Using both hands and feet, he bounded towards Cui Changsheng with monkey-like speed.
Cui Changsheng turned and ran, using his mental force to break through Chen Hao's gravitational field while shouting loudly, "Chen Yi! Chen Yi!!!"
"I know you can hear me! Hurry up and control your disciple! He wants to eat me!!!"
"Chen Yi? Is that my master's name? Really? Same surname as me? No wonder he feels so familiar, almost like my dad..."
"Of course it's true! Stop chasing! Disrespecting a senior is a grave offense!"
"I don't care who you are! As long as my master doesn't stop me, I'm not wrong!"
"..."
Cui Changsheng was inevitably chased until he was leaping about, somewhat disheveled.
And of course, Chen Yi was aware of everything happening within the Sacred Void Secret Realm.
But he didn't mind.
For Senior Cui Changsheng to gloriously join the Alternative Evolution, he needed to grind away that dense aura of orthodox cosmic energy clinging to him.
Let Chen Hao absorb it.
He had more important matters to attend to.
The Purple Tenuity Heavenly Dao... was almost unable to suppress the increasingly turbulent fortune anymore!
