Chapter 1706: Acquisition

Dozens of Jade Pearls, from large to small, float in a row in the air.

As large as a fist, as small as a grain of rice.

Chu Zhiyuan’s gaze fell on that rice-sized Jade Pearl.

The Elephant Beast also stared at the smallest bead and asked, “Will it work?”

“Not sure.” Chu Zhiyuan shook his head.

Even though it was such a tiny Jade Pearl, he did not dare underestimate it.

Divine Blood cannot be judged by common logic; although small as a grain of rice, the inherent Golden Light is no different from the fist-sized Jade Pearl.

Chu Zhiyuan faintly guessed something.

These Divine Blood seem to be not carriers of power but keys, or gateways.

So Divine Blood isn’t about quantity but presence.

As long as you have it, even a little bit, even an insignificant trace, can open the gateway to power.

Therefore, cutting this Divine Blood Pearl smaller might not be effective.

He did not know whether his guess was correct, but if true, it would be even more dangerous.

The Elephant Beast said, “Otherwise… let’s forget it.”

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head.

The Elephant Beast hurriedly said, “What if something goes wrong?”

It did not want Chu Zhiyuan to die suddenly.

Chu Zhiyuan closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.

He recalled many past events of the Divine Race, as well as the experiences of court honored experts within the Divine Domain.

He felt he did not understand the Divine Race enough.

But now, it had already reached the limit, and he could no longer understand them in detail.

About inheritance, it’s almost impossible to spy on it; you can only probe it.

Thinking about this, he sighed, “I can only force it.”

“Really want to force it?” The Elephant Beast said, “It can be fatal!”

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head, “It shouldn’t be.”

He judged again and again, felt and felt, pushing his intuition to the utmost.

Finally, he felt, even if there was danger, it was not to the extent of losing his life.

Saying this, he no longer hesitated, picked up that smallest Jade Pearl, and pressed it against his brow.

“Boom!”

A rumbling sounded in his mind, like thunder rumbling endlessly.

His vision shook violently, his body followed suit, as if dwelling in a boundless night sky, Purple Lightning like longswords stabbing toward him.

He could not resist, only forcibly enduring, his body pained while continuously falling, more falling, dizzy, unable to maintain control.

A stream of cool air surged through his mind, keeping him awake and not passing out.

Streaks of Golden Light darted within his body.

Above his head, the Void’s Demon Suppressing Divine Tree swayed endlessly, spilling down strands of clear brilliance, extinguishing these Golden Lights.

At the same time, a wild energy rushed into his body wanting to destroy him.

He suddenly rose up, rotating in the air, spinning up and down.

In the process of spinning and swaying, he felt his body like porcelain falling to the ground, cracks emerging internally, then spreading outward to the skin.

With the influx of this violent energy and the ravaging, these cracks multiplied.

Any moment reaching the limit, then “crash,” shattering into dust.

In a critical moment, he released his heart and spirit.

A stone tower appeared out of nowhere, floating in the air, followed by a second, then a third… until a twelfth stone tower appeared.

They hovered in midair, surrounding Chu Zhiyuan in the center.

Beams of green light shot from the tower tips, and when condensed in the air, they became a pillar of jade light, cascading toward Chu Zhiyuan, enveloping him inside.

Chu Zhiyuan, amidst the jade light pillar, floated and sank, the Golden Light occasionally bursting out of his body, forming a golden chain wrapping around him.

The clear brilliance continuously spilling down quickly extinguished this golden chain.

Above the Void, an exquisitely crafted small jade tower appeared, crystalline and translucent.

Because of its crystal clarity, it appeared elusive, seeming both present and absent.

The Elephant Beast wrapped Chu Zhiyuan’s neck with its tail, fixed itself securely on his shoulder.

It felt as if sitting on a volcano’s mouth, the raging energy ready to burst out and destroy itself at any time.

But to just leave like this, it felt disloyal, wanting to help a bit.

It found, however, that it could offer no help at all, only watching helplessly as waves of violent energy rampaged through Chu Zhiyuan’s body.

Each time, heart pounding in fear, but every time Chu Zhiyuan managed to resolve it.

First came the Demon Suppressing Divine Tree, then spiritual treasure in his mind calming the storm of heart and spirit, and then the stone towers appearing, suppressing the wildest energy.

Raising its eyes to that elusive small tower, it instinctively wanted to kneel.

It immediately recognized it; this is the legendary Taixu Tower.

The Taixu Tower actually came forth to help Chu Zhiyuan!

The strength of the Taixu Tower increased sharply, injecting into Chu Zhiyuan’s body.

Chu Zhiyuan initially felt his body about to crack and shatter, but it eased up suddenly.

The aura of the Taixu Tower was extraordinarily peculiar, like glue, starting to bind the broken body fragments together.

The cracks rapidly disappeared, the body changed swiftly.

As the cracks disappeared, the body became far stronger than before.

The so-called breaking and establishing anew.

After destruction, reconstruction will become more powerful.

Just breathing a sigh of relief, he found the violent energy growing stronger again.

Cracks once more began appearing inside the body, rapidly multiplying, spreading.

The body reached the critical point again, forcing the Taixu Tower to increase its aura, smoothing over these cracks once more.

Afterward, his body strengthened again.

This repeated tug-of-war process refined his body repeatedly; its strength grew more astonishing, reaching a point that felt unbelievable to him.

Gradually, he had adapted to numerous violent forces, his body suspended in mid-air, within the jade light pillar, no longer spinning and sinking.

He could leisurely ponder, carefully sensing the many changes in his body.

Could the Divine Race indeed be this powerful?

To think their physique could surpass his own imperial self by so much?

From what he saw through numerous Divine Eyes, there seemed not to be such might.

Thinking to this point, he suddenly drew a broken sword from his sleeve, the blade lightly cut across his palm.

A shallow white mark appeared on his palm.

The white mark quickly vanished.

He shook his head.

From this broken sword’s past, the Divine Race couldn’t block this blade with bare flesh.

The broken knife and sword were treasure swords to the Divine Race, unable to be resisted fleshly.

Unexpectedly, his own body could now withstand it.

His expression suddenly changed slightly.

A surge of force rapidly poured into his mind, seemingly to engulf him instantaneously.

His eyes became momentarily dazed.

The Miao Jing Spirit Water gently rippled, bringing him back instantly, desperately resisting the impact.

As if it passed in an instant, yet felt like a long time, this surging amazing force finally fully absorbed, integrated into his mind.

This is the true inheritance of the Divine Race, including the Divine Race’s past, and their cultivation.

In the trance, he seemed to transform into a Divine Race, newly come of age, capable of enduring inheritance impacts as a Divine Race male.

He finally understood why his body became so formidable, vastly surpassing the Divine Race.

It was because his body had undergone Washing Marrow and Cutting Hair and continuous cultivation, becoming strong enough to bear more power infusion.

The strong become stronger, the weak weaker.

A naturally gifted Divine Race receives more power infusion, growing stronger.

He was strong enough, thereby receiving more power infusion, surpassing the Divine Race.

He scanned through the Divine Race’s basic mental method, comparing it to the Taixu True Scripture, immediately losing interest.

The inherited mental method, foundational to the Divine Race, the rest left to sects themselves for inheritance.

These mental methods compared to the Taixu True Scripture, indeed need no cultivation.

Unless subsequently acquiring mental methods stronger than the Taixu True Scripture, only then would it be worth practicing the basic mental method before.
