Extreme Spirit Chaos Technique

’I have to get used to this speed again...’

Focusing his mind, Mu Chen stared intently at the constantly rotating eleventh Spiritual Net. But just as he got used to the speed and was about to pass through, all the nets suddenly vanished, leaving only the Spiritual Body Profound Jade Fan he had condensed floating there alone.

"Damn it!"

His eyes widened. Mu Chen was stunned for a moment before he couldn’t help but curse. It turned out the time limit to pass through the three hundred Spiritual Nets in this Beginner’s Chapter was a mere thirty seconds! Exceeding thirty seconds was considered a failure! This meant he had to pass through at least ten Spiritual Nets every second to complete the Beginner’s Chapter!

’Is there any Cultivation Technique in the world harder to practice than this?’

Mu Chen rubbed his nose and smiled wryly. ’Give up? Of course not! The words "give up" have never been in my vocabulary! What in this world offers returns without any investment?’

Pulling himself together, Mu Chen once again condensed his Spiritual Body Profound Jade Fan. But just as he was about to activate the Cultivation Technique, he suddenly realized that his Spiritual Power had actually grown a bit stronger than before. Although his realm was still the Peak of the Leaving Realm, the change was very noticeable!

’A Heaven-defying Cultivation Method! This truly is a Heaven-defying Cultivation Method!’

From the moment he had truly started practicing this Cultivation Technique until now, only eight seconds had passed! In just eight seconds, his Spiritual Power had grown to a noticeable degree! And it was extremely obvious! What a terrifying rate of Cultivation!

Opening his eyes, his consciousness returned to his body. Mu Chen picked up the nameless white book again, the focus of his pupils shifting wildly.

"Again!!"

Rewards fueled motivation. Seeing such a generous return, the belligerent and unyielding spirit within Mu Chen was stirred. His Spiritual Power sank into his Sea of Souls once more, and the Forest of Myriad Manifestations activated again. It was still the same three hundred nets, still the same insane rotational speed, but to Mu Chen, they had already become food for the growth of his Spiritual Power!

’Just you wait! It’s merely three hundred Spiritual Nets. I will break through and show you!’

SWOOSH!!

The Spiritual Body Profound Jade Fan once again transformed into a shuttle and passed through the first net. Over and over, again and again. Mu Chen didn’t know how many times he had failed, nor did he know what time it was. He only knew that his current achievement was breaking through sixty Spiritual Nets in thirty seconds.

"Hehe..."

Watching the Spiritual Nets dissipate before him, Mu Chen’s Spiritual Body had become somewhat dim—a consequence of overusing and over-concentrating his Spiritual Power. In contrast, Mu Chen’s expression, apart from deep exhaustion, featured Demon Pupils that glinted with a sharp light and the corners of his mouth, which were curled in a pleased smile.

’My Spiritual Power feels like it’s about to break through the Leaving Realm!’

Muttering to himself, Mu Chen finally couldn’t help but laugh out loud. He secretly admired the ancestor known as the Senluo Saint. It was he who had created a Cultivation Technique one would never tire of practicing; it was he who had turned a tedious method of Cultivation into a challenge! If Mu Chen’s attitude at the beginning had been one of complaint and impatience, now it was one of fascination and immersion.

Yes, he had grown to love this method of Cultivation, to love this challenge he would never grow tired of! Because through these nearly hundred attempts, he had discovered the true purpose of this Cultivation Technique!

SHWFF!

Ignoring the throbbing pain in his temples, Mu Chen once again condensed his Spiritual Body Profound Jade Fan. The Forest of Myriad Manifestations, which had already been activated hundreds of times, began to circulate within him once more.

Only this time, the Mu Chen controlling the Spiritual Body Profound Jade Fan was completely different from the first time!

SWOOSH SWOOSH SWOOSH SWOOSH SWOOSH...

Within a single second, he instantly broke through the first twenty nets! Under Mu Chen’s control, the Spiritual Body Profound Jade Fan moved like a Flying Shuttle, piercing up, down, left, and right between the twenty nets with lightning speed! It didn’t pause for a single moment!

In the second second, the Spiritual Body Profound Jade Fan broke through to the thirty-fifth net. Although its speed had slowed, Mu Chen’s control was still as smooth as flowing water!

’Faster! Even faster!’

With two low shouts, two beams of sharp light shot out from Mu Chen’s Ice Extreme Demon Pupils. The piercing speed of the Spiritual Body Profound Jade Fan suddenly surged. Mu Chen felt his Sea of Souls hum and erupt with a tremor! A crisp cracking sound, like a vessel shattering, echoed from within Mu Chen’s body.

HSSS...

Taking a sharp breath, Mu Chen felt as if every pore on his body was breathing, a wave of comfort spreading through him. The Spiritual Body seated within his Sea of Souls instantly solidified, and his originally weary expression vanished, leaving only the now-solid Soul Engraving radiating an intense light.

In that instant, Mu Chen’s Spiritual Realm had broken through!! He had reached the Early Stage of the Kan Realm, breaking the first shackle!!

"Break for me!!"

SWOOSH SWOOSH SWOOSH SWOOSH SWOOSH...

Empowered by the heightened Manipulation Power and amplified Power of Investigation from his breakthrough, Mu Chen successively broke through the seventieth and eightieth nets within thirty seconds, successfully shattering his previous record!

"Haha, this is great!"

Joy was written all over Mu Chen’s face, with no attempt to hide it. The moment the Forest of Myriad Manifestations stopped circulating, Mu Chen’s Spiritual Body returned to his physical form. He fell back onto the large bed, grinning foolishly.

He was very happy!

For Mu Chen in his current state, the advancement of his Spiritual Realm was undoubtedly a timely blessing. He only had enough Primordial Power stored for a single attack, and using it would plunge him into the agony of a depleted Dantian. Therefore, the only thing he could rely on now was his extraordinary Spiritual Power—the Spiritual Power that had broken the first shackle and been refined to the extreme by the God-Smashing Technique.

After hundreds of attempts at the beginner level throughout the night, he finally understood the direction of Cultivation for the Forest of Myriad Manifestations. It was all-around training! Yes, he wasn’t just training his Perception and Attack Power, but also his precise Manipulation Power and rational Divergence Power!

In short, Mu Chen was certain that overnight, his methods of using Spiritual Power had improved comprehensively!

He lay on his back and looked at the sky outside the window. It was beginning to lighten, but there was still some time before dawn. Thinking that he had nothing to do and was too excited to sleep, Mu Chen began to organize the contents of his Storage Ring. After all, besides clothes and collectibles, there was also a large number of Magical Beast corpses inside.

Those things had long since filled up the space in his ring; it was time to clean it out. Conveniently, the ring Dilaka had given him would come in handy.

Taking the Golden Ring given to him by Dilaka from his sleeve, Mu Chen infused a wisp of Spiritual Power into it. After enduring hundreds of torturous sessions with the Forest of Myriad Manifestations, the strands of Spiritual Power Mu Chen could now separate were exquisitely fine. He could say without hesitation that a strand of Spiritual Power he previously considered his finest was more than ten times thicker than what he could manage now.

This also illustrated one thing: when Mu Chen wanted to probe a specific individual, it would be much harder for him to be detected. And when he wanted to investigate a large area, the range he could cover would be much wider! ’This Forest of Myriad Manifestations is truly something else!’

His Spiritual Power quickly permeated it, and a space so vast it left Mu Chen dumbfounded appeared in his mind. By a rough estimate, this space was at least several thousand square meters! It would be no problem to fit several thousand, or even tens of thousands, of people inside!

’My God... isn’t this a bit excessively large?’

Lines of frustration appeared on Mu Chen’s forehead. He didn’t dwell on it and immediately began taking out his own belongings from his Storage Ring one by one. The first things to come out were, naturally, his clothes, followed by the Attribute Spirit Crystals obtained in the Xuanling Empire, money, and some Medicinal Herbs he no longer had a use for.

As for the Gathering Essence Pills he had carried, they had been used up long ago during his Cultivation in the Netherworld Purgatory. The thought of the Netherworld Purgatory gave Mu Chen a start. Although activating his Primordial Power would cause it all to be instantly depleted, he still grit his teeth and used it just to see those two items.

SHWFF!

An ancient, White Jade Color cauldron floated out from Mu Chen’s body, appearing before his eyes. It was crystal clear, and nine small white dragons ceaselessly coiled and roamed around it, occasionally letting out faint draconic cries. It was the Ding Palace’s ultimate treasure, the White Dragon Cauldron!

Looking at it, Mu Chen felt a bit apologetic; it had been a very long time since he had let it out. However, as he felt this apology, the White Dragon Cauldron seemed to sense it and spun its body a few times. A gentle emotion was transmitted to Mu Chen’s Sea of Souls. From that strong spiritual connection, Mu Chen could feel the words the White Dragon Cauldron wanted to express. It was comforting him...

"Heh..."

Mu Chen smiled faintly, his gaze soft as he supported the floating White Dragon Cauldron. With a thought, two of the white dragons flew from the outside of the cauldron into it. They flew back out a moment later, only this time, each of the two little dragons held a ball of light in its mouth. One shone with a seven-colored luster, while the other was a deep, rich green. From that deep green, in particular, Mu Chen felt an extremely vast Life Aura, and it formed a strong connection with the Extreme Wood Attribute within his body. It was just that his Dantian was still in a sealed state, so it couldn’t resonate.

’Seven-Colored Glaze, Stone Immortal...’

Muttering to himself, Mu Chen took the two worldly treasures. The Primordial Power he had just completely exhausted by summoning the White Dragon Cauldron was rapidly restored by the Seven-Colored Glaze.

He sensed the Life Force of the two items and found that not only had it not diminished, it had actually increased quite a bit. And all the credit for this naturally belonged to the nurturing of the White Dragon Cauldron.

’I heard Teacher Dilaka say that there’s a Medicinal Herb Garden in Holy Tomb Mountain. I wonder if I’ll be able to find the other main Medicinal Herbs for the Divine Transformation Pill in a supernatural place like Holy Tomb Mountain.’

Thinking about it, Mu Chen couldn’t help but add an item to his future plans: he absolutely had to go into the Medicinal Herb Garden of Holy Tomb Mountain and have a look.

After handing the Seven-Colored Glaze and the Stone Immortal back to the little dragons, Mu Chen rummaged through his ring and pulled out a completely rusted dagger. This dagger had been with him for three years. Apart from a symbol on the hilt that seemed to be haphazardly carved, it didn’t seem to have any special features. Mu Chen had once tried to stimulate it in various ways to no avail, so he had given up.

Now, Mu Chen was almost certain that it was just an ordinary dagger. And yet, a voice in his heart kept telling him that it was not simple...
