Extreme Spirit Chaos Technique

After his roar, the old man’s voice grew hoarse and trembled. Hot tears streamed from his eyes, a trickle that quickly became an unstoppable flood, as if a dam had burst. He was reborn. How could he not be happy? How could he not weep with joy?

This time, Mu Chen didn’t just stand there. Instead, he found a corner with his back to Feng Chaoming and watched quietly, observing this raw display of human emotion. ’I was probably just like this back then.’ Holding his own sturdy right arm, Mu Chen smiled faintly. No one understood that feeling better than he did.

A full hour passed before Feng Chaoming gradually calmed down. At that moment, Mu Chen walked over to his side, picked up the transparent white bottle that was still about a tenth full, and handed it to him.

Feng Chaoming froze for a moment, looking at Mu Chen in confusion. Mu Chen just raised an eyebrow and gave him two words.

"Drink it."

"Drink it?" By now, Feng Chaoming had more or less composed himself. Remembering the process of his arm regenerating, his expression became complicated. "You can’t be serious," he said helplessly.

Mu Chen impatiently thrust the white bottle into Feng Chaoming’s hand. "Are you really grossed out by your own hand now?" he said. "Anyway, even though your palm has recovered, the poison and impurities built up in your body haven’t been cleared out. If you leave it be, your strength will just keep declining. Drink this. I can’t guarantee it will completely remove all the poison in your body, but I’m confident it can clear out at least sixty percent. With your strength, you’ll be able to force out the rest on your own soon enough. So, it’s one of two choices: either make a full recovery, or wait for your strength to fall to the Venerable Realm."

After speaking, Mu Chen didn’t spare Feng Chaoming another glance. He turned and walked in the direction of the Light Attribute Elemental Power. The outskirts of the Holy Beast Mountain were extremely quiet; it was rare for a Magical Beast to venture out from the interior, so Mu Chen wasn’t worried about a large one suddenly appearing to block his path.

Feng Chaoming, on the other hand, stared at Mu Chen’s retreating back for a long time. Only when his figure had completely vanished did he shift his gaze back to the white bottle in his hand. The Jade Green Spiritual Liquid inside was still incredibly clear, and a powerful Life Aura overflowed from the mouth of the bottle. Just a light sniff of its sweet fragrance was enough to invigorate one’s Spirit several times over.

With a soft laugh, Feng Chaoming said grimly, "I’ve drunk human blood in my darkest times. What’s a little Jade Green Spiritual Liquid compared to that?"

With that, Feng Chaoming tilted his head back and poured the remaining Jade Green Spiritual Liquid from the bottle into his mouth, not leaving a single drop. The moment the Jade Green Spiritual Liquid entered his body, it instantly transformed into wisps of energy that rushed directly toward his bones, meridians, and poison-ravaged internal organs. In a flash, the black poison dissipated. Feng Chaoming felt his body lighten, as if a great weight he had carried on his shoulders for years had been lifted.

His shriveled muscles gradually pulsed with new life. As they twitched and contracted, Feng Chaoming’s originally stooped and withered frame suddenly became strong and robust. Not only that, but his sparse, mottled hair fell out completely. Immediately after, strands of flowing black hair began to grow from his scalp, becoming thick and lustrous in the blink of an eye.

Grasping the long black hair that now fell to his face, touching his now wrinkle-free skin, he found that even though his left eye was still blind, the current Feng Chaoming was by no means ugly! On the contrary, he had a certain refined elegance about him.

Stunned, he sent out a wisp of his Spiritual Power to see his current appearance. Feng Chaoming was at a complete loss.

"This stuff... what in the world is it?"

If the changes to his appearance were a huge shock, then the changes inside his body sent him into a state of absolute ecstasy! Although Mu Chen had assured him that the Jade Green Spiritual Liquid could clear at least sixty percent of the poison in his body, only after consuming it did he realize it had cleared far more than that. Aside from a final trace remaining in his Dantian, the poison in his body was completely gone! It was no exaggeration to say that he could completely purge this remaining poison in just one month!

A wave of heartfelt gratitude washed over him. He wanted to give Mu Chen everything he owned right now. But he forcibly suppressed the urge. He knew that what Mu Chen had given him wasn’t just a chance at rebirth, but a reason to live! As the saying goes, the gift of life is a debt that can never be repaid. Even if he gave Mu Chen all his worldly possessions, it would be nothing in comparison...

’Heh... Kid, perhaps I don’t have the ability to give you much right now,’ he thought, ’but I promise you this: if a day comes when the entire Extreme Martial Continent stands against you, this old man will stand firmly behind you and hold up the heavens for you, even if it costs me my life!’

’A thousand may be wrong, ten thousand may be wrong, but you will never be wrong! A thousand deaths, ten thousand deaths, would not be enough to repay this kindness!’

Mu Chen didn’t know that what he saw as a simple transaction to gain access to Holy Tomb Mountain would become something he would be most grateful for. Of course, that is a story for another time.

At this moment, Mu Chen was still unaware of just how deeply he had moved Feng Chaoming. He only knew that the dense Light Attribute Elemental Power before him was so abundant that it would take at least half a month to absorb it all. And for that half a month, he would probably have to stay here on Holy Beast Mountain.

’Oh well, half a month it is,’ he thought.

He slowly opened his eyes, let out a soft breath, and then closed them again. The Extreme Spirit Chaos Technique began to circulate proficiently. Viscous Light Attribute Elemental Power, along with other elemental powers, poured into Mu Chen’s pores and entered his Elixir Field World. Although the cultivation speed here was half that of the Eternal Holy Domain, it was still several times faster than in the Outer Realm. For the sake of his Chaos Dantian’s future balance, he didn’t feel this was a waste of time.

As the Light Attribute Elemental Power continuously flowed in, a holy, milky-white light gradually appeared around Mu Chen. This light pulsed rhythmically, possessing no offensive power, no terrifying destructive force, but rather a gentle energy that was incredibly comfortable to behold. Through the holy light, even Mu Chen’s face took on a divine appearance, and the corners of his lips curled into a faint smile from the warmth and comfort of the Light Attribute Elemental Power.

「Time flew by.」 Five days passed in a flash. Mu Chen was still sitting cross-legged in the same spot. The Light Attribute Elemental Power surrounding him had not thinned or weakened from his five days of absorption. On the contrary, the ever-denser light attribute aura within him was drawing all the Light Attribute Elemental Power from the outskirts of Holy Beast Mountain to gather around him.

At this moment, he was like a vast ocean, and the Light Attribute Elemental Power from the outskirts of Holy Beast Mountain was like countless surging rivers flowing into him, filling his body and perfecting the balance of his Elixir Field World.

However, a thousand meters away, Feng Chaoming was perched on a large rock, staring at Mu Chen with his one deep eye. His gaze held not only profound gratitude but also an unprecedented level of shock. As an expert who had once stood at the pinnacle, how could he not know what these milky-white clusters of light were?

’That’s all Light Attribute Elemental Power! And it’s Light Attribute Elemental Power that has been preserved for tens of thousands of years!’ he thought. ’Primordial Power may not have sentience, but it is the essence derived from the dawn of creation. Just as humans can evolve, so can it. After tens of thousands of years of being refined by the heavens and the earth, the Light Attribute Elemental Power in this Holy Beast Mountain, having never been absorbed in large quantities by any Beast Type, has actually begun to transform. It’s starting to develop sentience.’

’Having stood guard over Holy Tomb Mountain for decades, I haven’t observed the changes in this Light Attribute Elemental Power every day. But every time I saw it, it felt different. The most direct observation was that it was gradually condensing, becoming more viscous, transforming from a gas to a liquid, and then from a liquid, developing sentience.’

’This current stage is precisely when it is beginning to develop that sentience. But I know that to truly gain it, it will take at least another few tens of thousands of years. By then, it will no longer be called Light Attribute Elemental Power, but the Ultimate Light. In Mu Chen and the Profound Old Ghost’s words, it would be the Ultimate Light Attribute Spirit.’

Mu Chen was actually aware of this as well. But in tens of thousands of years, he would likely have long since turned to dust. Even if the Ultimate Light Attribute Spirit came into being, it would be meaningless to him. That was why he was absorbing it so decisively now.

Looking at Mu Chen’s holy face and contented expression, Feng Chaoming’s eyes were filled with nothing but resolve. He knew that this Light Attribute Elemental Power was the very foundation that made Holy Beast Mountain seem like a celestial paradise, but he had no intention of stopping him. It wasn’t just because Mu Chen had given him a chance at rebirth, but because he saw infinite possibilities in Mu Chen.

’Light Attribute Martial Artists are simply too rare on the continent right now,’ he thought. ’It’s not that they don’t exist, but they are all so weak as to be practically ordinary. But Mu Chen is different. He’s the only known Martial Artist capable of controlling multiple Elemental Power Attributes, and the range of attributes he possesses is exceptionally complete.’

’Zhu Jiuqian used to say he was an Eight-Attribute Martial Artist, but now I can definitively say that Zhu Jiuqian was wrong. Mu Chen... he is the only All-Attribute Martial Artist in the history of the Extreme Martial Continent.’

...

"HUUU..."

Just as Feng Chaoming was still lost in his thoughts, the Light Attribute Elemental Power around Mu Chen suddenly calmed. The holy light pulsing from his body gradually receded. His eyes opened, and a sacred, milky-white brilliance swirled within his blue-violet pupils before slowly fading away. Mu Chen had awakened.

Exhaling a deep, turbid breath, the clear-eyed Mu Chen suddenly realized the world around him had changed. It was as if every object contained a beating soul, as if the flowers and grass beside him were smiling at him with affection. He had never experienced a feeling like this before.

"Do you suddenly feel like the whole world has become more beautiful? As if everything feels a strong sense of dependence and affection toward you?"

Mu Chen wasn’t too surprised by Feng Chaoming’s appearance. Although he had entered a state of cultivation, the Multi-tasking ability granted to him by the Forest of Myriad Manifestations allowed him to leave behind a wisp of Spiritual Power to observe the situation in the Outer Realm. He had known Feng Chaoming was sitting there from the very beginning. Now, hearing Feng Chaoming’s words, Mu Chen simply nodded, a look of interest on his face.
