Chapter 255: The Drawbacks of the Chaos Body!
【After you returned to your cave residence, you came to terms with it.】
【After returning, you thought about it for a long time and realized that such rewards were actually quite reasonable.】
【You knew that this kind of martial competition was held every month. Although the Great Dream Immortal Dynasty had no shortage of cultivation resources, it was impossible for them to hand out rare heavenly treasures so frequently.】
【Besides, only these basic cultivation resources could allow cultivators to rapidly increase their cultivation.】
【The ninth year!】
【After two years of secluded cultivation, you discovered that ever since you had forged the Chaos Body, your cultivation speed had fallen drastically.】
【You also faintly sensed that something was wrong. During all these years of secluded cultivation, you had nearly exhausted all the cultivation resources you obtained from the Great Dream Immortal Sect, yet your cultivation still showed no movement.】
【You felt as though your body had become a bottomless pit, endlessly devouring cultivation resources while your realm did not move at all.】
【Moreover, this was even the result of you participating in the martial competition every so often.】
【In fact, among the Immortal Realm cultivators, some people were already dissatisfied with your actions.】
【After all, you had personally driven Murong Kong and the other ten people off the arenas back then, breaking the monopoly over the Immortal Realm competition. Yet in the end, you yourself had occupied first place in the martial competition for a long time.】
【However, although these people were unhappy, they did not dare say much on the surface. After all, your strength was plain to see, and no one in the Immortal Realm was your opponent.】
【Precisely because of this, you were known among Immortal Realm cultivators as the strongest beneath the Earth Immortal Realm. Some people even discussed whether you could fight someone at the Early Earth Immortal Realm.】
【However, you did not care about any of this in the slightest. You continued shamelessly taking the rewards. After all, your current physique was far too special, and even you did not know when you would be able to break through to the Mid Immortal Realm.】
【This year, there was another piece of news that surprised you.】
【That was that Chen Shu and Xuanyuan Tianji had both broken through to the Immortal Realm and then entered the Inner Sect of the Great Dream Immortal Sect from the Outer Sect.】
【You were not particularly surprised that Xuanyuan Tianji had broken through to the Immortal Realm. However, Chen Shu’s breakthrough made you feel somewhat incredulous.】
【After Chen Shu and Xuanyuan Tianji entered the Inner Sect, they came to find you immediately.】
【Seeing your shocked gaze, Chen Shu looked slightly pleased with herself, then told you what had happened over the years.】
【Chen Shu told you that during these years, Li Mutian had often gone to the Outer Sect to help them.】
【Chen Shu told you that during the first year, Li Mutian rarely looked for them. It was only after he discovered that Xuanyuan Tianji’s cultivation was breaking through very quickly that he began paying special attention to the two of them.】
【Chen Shu told you that in the years that followed, Li Mutian brought them many cultivation resources, far surpassing the cultivation resources of the other Outer Sect disciples.】
【After hearing this explanation, a look of realization appeared on your face.】
【However, when Chen Shu discovered that your cultivation had remained at the Early Immortal Realm all this time, a puzzled expression appeared on her face.】
【Yet when Xuanyuan Tianji saw your situation, it seemed as though everything was within her expectations. She was not surprised at all.】
【You noticed their expressions and also understood some things through Xuanyuan Tianji’s expression.】
【You asked Xuanyuan Tianji about the Chaos Body.】
【When Xuanyuan Tianji heard this, she let out a long sigh.】
【“It is not that I did not want to tell you. When I gave you the Chaos Immortal-Demon Art back then, I never thought you would actually succeed in cultivating it.”】
【Xuanyuan Tianji told you that after the Chaos Body was successfully cultivated, the Spiritual Qi within the body would gradually transform into Chaos Qi.】
【Xuanyuan Tianji told you that Chaos Qi stood above Spiritual Qi, Immortal Qi, and Demonic Qi. It was the most domineering kind of Spiritual Power.】
【Xuanyuan Tianji told you that after reaching the Immortal Realm, every breakthrough made by the Chaos Body required at least ten times the cultivation resources of an ordinary person.】
【After hearing this news, your expression became uncertain.】
【You had not expected the Chaos Body to have such a drawback, although over the years, you had already vaguely guessed some of it.】
【However, you had not expected the truth to be even more serious than what you had guessed.】
【Xuanyuan Tianji told you that the ratio at which Immortal Qi transformed into Chaos Qi was very low. In theory, only the Chaotic Void was the most suitable place for the Chaos Body to cultivate.】
【“The Chaotic Void...”】
【You suddenly recalled the stretch of Chaotic Void you had experienced when you used Taixu Dragon Traversal to travel to the Taixuan Immortal Domain.】
【You had personally witnessed the terror of the Chaotic Void. There, anyone below the Immortal Emperor Realm could easily be torn apart by Chaos Qi. Even Immortal Emperor powerhouses might not necessarily be able to remain in the Chaotic Void for long.】
【You knew that only special races like the Taixu Ancient Dragon, which possessed special Divine Powers, could allow themselves to remain in the Chaotic Void.】
【“Sigh!”】
【Now, there was less than a year left before the Great Dream Immortal Dynasty launched its attack against the Eldritch Race.】
【Your actions two years ago had indeed drawn a great deal of attention to you, but it was merely attention.】
【Because during the next two years, your cultivation had remained at the Early Immortal Realm. This caused those who had paid attention to you back then to gradually lose hope and stop paying too much attention to you.】
【From then on, your opportunity had also come to nothing.】
【Your strength was indeed formidable, but it was limited to the Immortal Realm. Once a battle involved a higher realm, you would lose your value unless you could break through to a higher realm.】
【During these two years, your stagnant cultivation had disappointed those higher-ups. If you had been able to break through, they would have invested even more cultivation resources in you. Even if they had to pile resources onto you by force, they would have pushed your cultivation upward.】
【At this moment, you also understood why Li Mutian had visited you less and less often over the past two years, to the point that he only came once a year.】
【Immediately afterward, you told the two of them about your plan for one year later.】
【“Are you certain?”】
【Xuanyuan Tianji looked at you in surprise, and a trace of anticipation flashed through her eyes.】
【The two of them had only just entered the Inner Sect, so they had only just learned about the great battle one year later. Previously, when they were in the Outer Sect, Li Mutian had never mentioned it to them.】
【“I am certain!”】
【“This is our only chance to leave!”】
【“I do not want to stay here as cannon fodder and fight the Eldritch Race. Right now, we should still focus on cultivation.”】
【At this moment, you only wanted to return to the Canglan Realm and resolve your own matters. As for other people’s affairs, even if you wanted to help, you did not have the strength to do so.】
【You knew your own limits very well. You also could not abandon the people of the Sword Pavilion and remain alone in the Taixuan Immortal Domain.】
【Perhaps after you resolved the matters in the Canglan Realm in the future, you would come to the Taixuan Immortal Domain to help.】
【“Fine! Let us do this!”】
【Seeing that both of you had agreed, Chen Shu could only go along with you.】
【You looked at Xuanyuan Tianji. After hesitating for a moment, you still chose to speak.】
【“Do you still want to return to the Weiyang Immortal Domain?”】
