Chapter 239: Increased Comprehension! Breakthrough! Nine Origins’ Food!

"Master, our function is simple..."

"Look!"

The moment the fairy finished speaking, her body dissolved into countless colorful lights.

Before Chen Xuan could react, those lights shot toward him and merged directly into his body.

Subconsciously, Chen Xuan wanted to force them out. However, his movements stopped abruptly.

The instant the lights entered his body, he felt himself becoming different.

It was an indescribable sensation. It was as though his entire existence had suddenly ascended to another level.

His mind became clearer than ever before, and countless truths that had previously remained hidden from him were now revealed in their entirety.

Yin-Yang. Life and Death.

Water. Fire.

The countless Laws he had previously comprehended began to merge together.

Some of them had originally existed as isolated insights, while others had only been understood at a superficial level. Yet at this moment, all of them seemed to be connected by an invisible thread.

Chen Xuan could clearly see the relationship between them. It was as though the barriers that had once separated different Laws had completely disappeared.

His comprehension surged at an astonishing rate.

Finally...

Bang!

Those countless insights were fully digested.

Much to Chen Xuan’s shock, he felt his Law Mark become even more complete.

The Immortal Law Mark that had previously required painstaking effort to upgrade any further seemed to have undergone a fundamental transformation.

Within only a few seconds, it had been transformed.

Had this been his real body rather than his clone, he would have immediately broken through!

Unfortunately, his current body was merely a clone within an illusion.

Even if his comprehension had reached the threshold, his cultivation could not break through here. Still, once he passed the trial, he would immediately achieve a breakthrough.

However, this was far from the end.

The various techniques and spells he had practiced suddenly activated on their own.

Chen Xuan’s experiences flashed through his mind one after another. For a moment, he felt as though he had practiced these skills for countless years.

The circulation of Spiritual Energy became engraved on his body’s instincts.

Dragon-Phoenix Body. Yin Yang Technique. Heaven-Swallowing Scripture.

One technique after another underwent a transformation.

The changes were especially obvious in his physical body.

The Dragon-Phoenix Body, which had already reached an extremely profound level, continued to improve under the influence of the countless insights.

The Yin Yang Technique also began changing rapidly.

But above all...

The Jade Pure Sutra!

This Immortal Technique, which Chen Xuan had comprehended not long ago, underwent the greatest transformation.

It was as though countless years of cultivation and understanding were being poured directly into his mind.

The Jade Pure Sutra was upgraded to the next level. The Spiritual Energy within his body changed accordingly.

The Yin Yang Technique he had been practicing seemed to be overwritten completely, transforming into the complete Jade Pure Sutra.

Although it was only a difference in cultivation technique, Chen Xuan could clearly feel the change.

His Spiritual Energy became purer, and his foundation became deeper.

Even his control over his own strength improved considerably. Had he participated in the first trial in his current state, he would have passed it with ease.

For a cultivator, changing one’s cultivation technique was normally an extremely troublesome matter. Yet in this strange state, everything happened naturally.

There was no conflict at all. It was as though the new technique had always belonged to him.

Even so, the strange state did not end.

More and more experiences flashed through Chen Xuan’s mind. Insights continued to merge.

Every moment seemed to contain countless years of cultivation.

For a time, Chen Xuan felt as though he had become one with the Heavens.

The Laws of the world no longer seemed distant. He could vaguely glimpse their essence, as though the countless mysteries that had once troubled him had become simple and obvious.

His consciousness continued sinking deeper.

He soon lost track of time, completely forgetting everything around him, growing immersed in the sensation.

He didn’t know how much time had passed.

It could have been minutes, years, or even centuries. Time itself seemed to have lost all meaning.

There was only endless comprehension and an almost indescribable sense of clarity. His thoughts became completely calm, without the slightest distraction. Even his breathing seemed to have merged with the surrounding world.

Just then, however, he suddenly exited that state. For some unknown reason, he was forcefully brought back to reality.

A trace of annoyance flashed across Chen Xuan’s face as his gaze swept through his familiar surroundings, and he felt his comprehension decrease.

For a moment, his aura soared into the sky. The surrounding sea began to tremble violently, and terrifying pressure spread in every direction.

It seemed that Chen Xuan was ready to strike out simply to vent the frustration in his heart.

After all, he had been immersed in an unprecedented state of enlightenment. To suddenly be pulled out of it would naturally make anyone unhappy.

Before he could truly pulverize the surrounding ocean, however, an exhausted little face entered his sight.

Chen Xuan slowly snapped back to reality. His expression gradually returned to normal.

"Master! Master! You truly consumed too much energy!"

"You almost sucked us dry! You almost killed us!"

The fairy floated weakly in front of him, her tongue hanging out as she desperately tried to catch her breath.

Her face was pale and covered in sweat. Even the wings behind her back trembled weakly, as though they could no longer support her weight.

Seeing her appearance, realization slowly dawned upon Chen Xuan. Clearly, his previous state had not appeared out of nowhere.

It had been caused by the Nine Origins merging with him.

And in order to accomplish this, they had obviously consumed some kind of energy. Judging from their current appearance, the consumption had clearly been enormous.

Realizing this, the last trace of annoyance in Chen Xuan’s heart immediately disappeared.

He stretched out his hand and gently reached for the little fairy.

Perhaps because she was too exhausted, the fairy did not resist. She seemed to have completely lost her strength.

Her wings stopped flapping, and she collapsed onto his palm, taking several deep breaths in an attempt to recover.

"Master is a bad guy! You were really rough! Really rough!"

"Ah~ Ah~" She spoke under her breath while wiping the sweat from her forehead.

Hearing these words, Chen Xuan became speechless.

Why did this thing make it sound as though everything had been his fault?

More importantly, why did her words sound so suggestive?

Could it be that she had also adjusted her behavior according to his own preferences?

The moment that thought appeared in Chen Xuan’s mind, he immediately stopped thinking about it.

He absolutely refused to admit that such a possibility existed. He was a righteous and upright person.

How could he possibly influence the behavior of the Nine Origins in such a manner?

’It must have nothing to do with me. The Nine Origins were always perverts!’

’Yes. That’s the truth!’

Chen Xuan convinced himself.

After giving the fairy some time to recover, Chen Xuan gently poked her head with his finger.

If it were before, she would have immediately begun rubbing herself against his finger.

Now, however, the fairy simply lay there unmoving. She looked almost as though she were dead.

No matter how much Chen Xuan poked her or gently squeezed her cheeks, she showed no reaction.

Chen Xuan couldn’t help but sigh.

"It’s a pity. I was originally prepared to find you some energy to recover."

"Since you guys are so exhausted, I can only wait for another time..."

The moment his words fell, a stream of light suddenly flashed out of his palm.

It swiftly flew in front of his face.

"Master! Master! Do you have it? Do you have it?"

"Please give it to us!"

The fairy immediately regained her energy.

She began floating back and forth in Chen Xuan’s field of vision, causing his head to spin once more.

This time, Chen Xuan reacted quickly. He reached out and grabbed her, stopping her before she could make him dizzy again.

"I don’t know what kind of energy you need to recover..." Chen Xuan shook his head.

"But if you tell me, I should be able to obtain some with my current strength."

Hearing that he didn’t have what they needed, the Nine Origins immediately became deflated.

Their colorful bodies seemed to lose some of their brilliance, and even their little wings drooped.

But upon hearing Chen Xuan’s promise, their eyes lit up again. Clearly, they had no doubt about his ability to obtain whatever they needed.

"Yes! Yes!"

"Master, the Nine Origins’ food depends on their owner."

"In most cases, it is emotions, or even impure thoughts."

"Since we have acknowledged you as our Master, what we need to eat is simple."

"Hehe..."

The fairy chuckled.

She raised one hand and covered her mouth, but the mischievous expression in her eyes remained clearly visible.

"Lust!"

"Master, all we need is to feed on your lust! I don’t think you lack it!"
