Chapter 1167 - 1193: Hard-Earned Success!

The veins on Chu Cheng’s face bulged, and his muscles kept trembling, as if they were about to clump together at any moment, and large drops of sweat kept falling, yet he did not let out a single groan of pain.

Chu Linfeng was quite shocked internally; his son’s endurance was truly remarkable. If this were the case, he decided to impart the cultivation technique of the Star Body to him.

The Star Body is a body-refinement technique, which only those with tremendous perseverance can practice. Chu Linfeng himself deeply experienced the pain endured during this practice. Perhaps his son could manage, and if he reached an extreme level, his defense would also be heaven-defying.

"Hang in there, Cheng’er. Your dantian is about to rupture, and Dad will protect your heart meridian. If you can endure it, you’ll become a peerless powerhouse, but if you can’t, you’ll forever remain a useless one," Chu Linfeng said.

At this moment, Chu Cheng’s eyes had turned red, and his lips had been bitten until they bled a pale golden hue. "Dad, Cheng... Cheng’er can... can do it!" he uttered, almost using all his strength.

Chu Linfeng continued to infuse Chaotic Immortal Power and Wood Element within him. He could clearly feel the cracks in Chu Cheng’s dantian; even he hadn’t endured such swelling pain before, imagining how torturous it must be.

Chu Cheng’s nails were also digging into his flesh, but he no longer felt that pain; it was more unbearable than death. His heart held only one thought; he had to endure, mustn’t let Dad down, must change his fate from a waste to a true strongman.

Minutes continued to pass, and Chu Cheng nearly fainted several times. Each time he was about to faint, he would bite his lips hard and stab his palm with his nails to maintain the short-lived pain and stay awake.

At this moment, Chu Linfeng noticed Dragon Scales emerging on Chu Cheng’s arm—signs of his bloodline power awakening, a significant achievement even if not fully awakened.

Before he spoke, Chu Cheng’s dantian emitted a crisp sound—it was the sound of dantian rupture, which is entirely different from the effect of self-explosion.

Chu Linfeng knew that this moment was the most dangerous and crucial, and he immediately shouted, "Cheng’er, stay awake, use your mental intent to control the powerful energy within, let this energy form a Qi Sea at the dantian location. Once the Qi Sea is formed, you can break free from the shell of waste."

The rupture of the dantian diminished Chu Cheng’s unbearable swelling feeling, seeming to ease him considerably. Listening to Chu Linfeng, he immediately used his mental intent to slowly control the energy rampaging within him.

While Chu Linfeng’s Wood Element gathered to protect Chu Cheng’s heart meridian, preventing it from being damaged due to the rupture, ensuring his life was safe.

Minute by minute passed, and Chu Linfeng felt like years had gone by, hoping it would end soon.

At a moment, Chu Cheng spoke, "Dad, I can control the energy inside me now. It is rotating near the dantian. I feel the energy is so powerful."

Chu Linfeng was immediately delighted, glanced at Chu Cheng, and said, "Cheng’er, keep pushing, let the energy form a Qi Sea in the dantian; thus, you can completely resolve your current plight. Once the Qi Sea forms, you can let its energy travel in the meridians. Then, you’ll understand just how heaven-defying your Divine Concealment Vein is."

Though Chu Cheng didn’t fully comprehend Chu Linfeng’s words, he slowly followed them to control the rotating energy. After a long time, Chu Linfeng released his arm, which had been infusing the Wood Element, with sweat streaming down his forehead.

Now the Wood Element had entirely secured his heart meridian, while the energy inside Chu Cheng settled completely, preventing any harm to the heart meridian, easing Chu Linfeng’s worries considerably.

Chu Cheng introspected within his dantian and found it had vanished, replaced by a powerful energy body slowly rotating, resembling a sea domain that occasionally released slight energy fluctuations.

"This must be the Qi Sea Dad mentioned, I never thought I’d truly endure. It’s not easy. From today onwards, I’ll strive to make Dad proud of having a son like me!" Chu Cheng thought to himself.

Then he mentally controlled the energy within the Qi Sea to flow throughout his meridians; this time, he found the energy flowing at an indescribable speed requiring only half an incense stick’s time to complete a circulation.

Previously, he could circulate the energy, but it took half a day, which was one of the reasons why his realm remained stagnant. But now it was entirely different, a world of difference.

"Dad, I can completely control the energy within the Qi Sea now. I feel like I can break through to the Saint Martial Realm; I need to absorb the Netherworld Purple Orchid’s energy now," Chu Cheng said excitedly.

Chu Linfeng checked within the storage ring and found some Netherworld Purple Orchids; he took one out and said, "Absorb it, breaking through the Saint Martial Realm is a bit painful, brace yourself mentally."

Chu Cheng received the Netherworld Purple Orchid and immediately began absorbing it, realizing the absorption speed was significantly faster than before. He absorbed the energy of the entire Netherworld Purple Orchid completely in no time.

After circulating the energy within the Qi Sea, he felt filled with energy throughout his body; then the energy rapidly flowed within his meridians, completing a circulation in no time, gradually entering a realm of selflessness.

Seeing Chu Cheng achieve this, Chu Linfeng felt quite moved; having such a son should make him proud, and the perception of him as a pampered wastrel gradually faded.

Several crisp sounds echoed in Chu Cheng’s Qi Sea, and he opened his eyes, feeling immensely powerful, an unprecedented sensation.

"Dad! Cheng’er broke through, successfully advancing to the Saint Martial Realm. I’m no longer a waste!" Chu Cheng exclaimed joyfully.

Chu Linfeng glanced at Chu Cheng; his power level had reached the Sixth Level of the Holy Martial Realm, which might be due to the Chaotic Immortal Power and his awakened bloodline power.

"Cheng’er, keep circulating the energy within the Qi Sea; you might break through one or two more realms now, don’t stop!" Chu Linfeng urged.

Chu Cheng nodded and resumed, while Chu Linfeng watched him quietly. At a moment, Chu Cheng stopped, surprise filling his face, "Dad, I feel like I broke through again. Thank you, without you, Cheng’er would’ve never succeeded."

He prepared to kneel and pay respects to Chu Linfeng, but Chu Linfeng lightly waved to stop him, "Cheng’er, I am your Dad; your success is what a father should ensure. Over the years, I wasn’t by your side, causing you grievances, don’t hold onto them."

In the future, diligently cultivate; I believe you can become a true powerhouse. We’ve been in this secret chamber for a long time; your mother must be worried outside; it’s time to leave."

Chu Cheng nodded and left the chamber with Chu Linfeng. As soon as the chamber door opened, he saw Kong Feifei’s face full of anxiety mixed with joy...
