Borrowing a sword

Chapter 361 The Lost Fruit

Wen Shiyu was completely stunned by what she saw.

"Is cultivation really this fast here in the Xuanhuang Realm?" she wondered.

Although the two cultivation systems differ, simple conversions can be made in the early stages.

Chu Huaixu has just broken through to the fourth realm, which is equivalent to the late stage of Foundation Establishment in the Xuanhuang Realm, and he is trying to break through to the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment.

"But for us cultivators, even for a Nascent Soul True Monarch like me who has rebuilt his cultivation by seizing another body, it would take years to make a breakthrough in our realm."

"And it's measured in decades!"

And what about his current master?
Three breaths, just three breaths!

Three breaths are equivalent to my decades of arduous cultivation?

Wen Shiyu felt like she was going to go numb.

She stared at Chu Huaixu's handsome face, and couldn't help but drift off into a daze.

"Logically speaking, even cultivators in the Xuanhuang Realm shouldn't be able to achieve this level, right?"

She could understand that Chu Huaixu must have been suppressing his cultivation to prevent himself from breaking through in order to enter the Origin Spirit Realm and meet the requirements.

Now that there's no need to suppress it anymore, it can be released in one go, like a flood.

Breaking through five minor realms in a row is too exaggerated.

What's more, this man was so fast!

"Could he also be some kind of old monster who possessed another body and then cultivated again?"

"Could it be that the Xuanhuang Realm also possesses such methods?"

Wen Shiyu was completely baffled.

Because this goes against the system of spiritual practice.

Besides, Chu Huaixu experienced excruciating pain every time he broke through to a higher level.

However, his pain threshold is so high that he can only tolerate it.

But from the perspective of others, it's a different story.

This was the first time Wen Shiyu had ever seen her master break through to a higher realm.

Looking at his torn and mangled body, which had been tortured beyond recognition by the cultivation technique, with many parts covered in blood and flesh, it was a truly gruesome and unbearable sight.

The cultivators of Kunlun Grotto-heaven have their own local customs, and they are willing to give up everything for power.

What are considered orthodox martial arts techniques over there would be classified as super evil techniques in the Xuanhuang Realm.

Even so, looking at Chu Huaixu's current appearance, Wen Shiyu thought, "This technique is truly evil!"

Just when she was already feeling a chill run down her spine, Chu Huaixu still felt uneasy.

"Sigh, once you reach the fourth realm, the experience points required to level up start to increase."

"Such a huge amount of [cultivation experience points] was poured in, and it only went from level 39 to level 44."

He was eager to reach the fifth realm as soon as possible and become a great cultivator.

It wasn't that he was lustful or eager to cultivate with his top-tier, beautiful Daoist partner.

"Am I, Chu Huaixu, that kind of person?"

"It's purely a pursuit of power!"

— Chu Huai's Preface is somewhat misogynistic.

Currently, his cultivation level is relatively low, but his other attributes are excessively high.

Techniques like [Sword Heart] far surpass the current level.

Therefore, currently, improving one's cultivation level offers the best cost-effectiveness.

"Experience points should be used here first."

With this thought in mind, having already used up all his cultivation experience points, he turned his attention to the experience points that could be freely allocated.

"Fine, let's just keep promoting for now."

"Keep 200 million for emergencies, gamble on 'Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin' again, and use the rest!"

After making the decision, his aura changed instantly.

Wen Shiyu, already deeply shocked, could only watch helplessly as Chu Huaixu broke through three more realms in a row!

She had been completely numb by her owner, and her mind was almost blank.

"When did cultivation become such a quick thing?"

—In just six breaths, one can equal the height of a Kunlun prodigy for a hundred years!
"call--."

Chu Huaixu let out a long sigh of relief.

When he opened his eyes, the terrible injuries on his body had basically healed.

Wen Shiyu looked at the scene before her and felt that it was an eye-opener.

She now understood why Chu Huaixu didn't even flinch when he was injured within the Origin Spirit Realm.

She suddenly felt a bit of admiration for this young man's great perseverance.

"How could an ordinary person endure such hardship?"

"His current strength must be the result of his hard work day and night."

"While opportunities and good fortune are certainly indispensable, one must also rely on one's own efforts."

"This child's temperament is truly remarkable!" Wen Shiyu felt a surge of admiration.

If you are in Kunlun Grotto Heaven, you are qualified to become my disciple and my Nascent Soul True Lord!
But she soon found the idea somewhat ridiculous.

"I haven't adjusted my mindset yet," she thought to herself with a self-deprecating smile.

She didn't know what kind of fortune Chu Huaixu had obtained, but if he were in Kunlun Grotto Heaven, he would be a Divine Immortal!
Upon realizing this, she immediately stood up and stepped forward, then knelt on one knee, clasped her hands together and raised them high, and once again said in a charming and obsequious tone:

"Congratulations, master, congratulations, master!"

"Shi Yu never imagined that someone could break through several realms in just a few breaths."

"Tonight has truly been an eye-opening experience!"

Chu Huaixu looked at her and saw that she had raised her hand to brush her hair behind her ear, and her collar had been slightly open at some point, revealing a glimpse of her fair skin. He felt a chill run down his spine.

"She's an old woman who's over a thousand years old, and she still deliberately adds an 'ne' to the end of her sentences."

"You old hag, do you still want to mate with a young girl?"

Chu Huaixu was furious. He never expected her to have such a beautiful dream, trying to exploit the people as soon as she arrived.

This reminded him of the aunties who had craved his body during his time as a companion. His face instantly turned slightly cold as he looked at Wen Shiyu and said:

"I'm going into seclusion first thing tomorrow morning."

"You go and refine Ye Kongxuan's corpse to create an external avatar for me."

"This is the first thing I'm telling you."

"Don't let me down."

Wen Shiyu immediately adopted a respectful expression, even squeezing out a hint of fear in his eyes, displaying superb acting skills, and said:

"Yes, Master!"

"Shiyu will do her utmost to create a perfect avatar for her master."

Chu Huaixu nodded in satisfaction.

Then, he asked her about knowledge related to avatars.

An external avatar can indeed advance in rank and increase cultivation level, but it is quite troublesome and consumes a lot of rare and precious materials.

Using the same treasure on oneself would yield more than twice the benefit compared to using it on an incarnation.

Many people only choose to cultivate a powerful avatar when they are at a loss for progress.

However, if the incarnation itself has a good foundation and high talent such as spiritual roots, then it will be much better.

Ye Kongxuan is indeed an excellent candidate.

As for Chu Huaixu, he now essentially holds the assets of two Nascent Soul True Monarchs.

Because of the differences in cultivation systems, he can't use these things anyway.

Instead of training this servant girl, why not train an avatar of her?

Who knows, it might come in handy someday?

The night is getting darker.

Wen Shiyu took a few steps forward, extended her slender hand, and placed it on Chu Huaixu's black and gold robe.

"It's late, this servant will help my master to retire for the night," she said softly, her tone carrying a hint of seduction.

However, there was a slight tremor in his voice.

It seemed that I had mustered up a lot of courage to take this step.

It gives the impression that a novice is going all out tonight.

Chu Huaixu wasn't sure if she was actually Lao Siji.

But the fact that he's old is definitely true.

Moreover, he's probably a skilled actor.

He didn't think that someone of the Nascent Soul True Monarch's temperament would have a trembling voice at this moment.

Chu Huaixu raised his hand impatiently and pinched her cheek directly.

Wen Shiyu let out a soft, sweet cry that could melt anyone's bones: "Ah~~"

Then, her little mouth remained open and never closed again.

The tongue was in a state of being about to stick out, with the tip of the tongue just touching the lower teeth.

Her pupils trembled slightly, as she tried to create a feeling that was both pitiful and alluring.

Chu Huaixu stared at her and said, "There is something I haven't had time to ask you in detail before."

"Tell me, what else do you know about the Nascent Soul stage that was lost in the Xuanhuang Realm?"

After he finished speaking, he released his large hand that was pinching her cheek tightly.

Wen Shiyu slumped onto the bed and leaned over to look up at her.

This action revealed even more of her cleavage and smooth skin.

Chu Huaixu gave her a cold look, and she immediately got up, smoothing out the wrinkles left on the bed.

Wen Shiyu stood respectfully to the side, then lowered his head slightly and began to reply humbly.

“Master, your position once belonged to Night Lord.”

"Since you have inherited this position, you are actually the new Night Immortal Venerable."

"The darkness of Kunlun belongs to your authority."

"In the night, you are the supreme being!"

As she spoke, her tone became somewhat fervent.

This wasn't actually a performance on purpose.

She truly held the highest reverence for the Nascent Soul stage.

"Continue," Chu Huaixu said.

"But the other lost position occurred before Night Lord was killed by that Realm Lord."

"It's not just the servants; many Nascent Soul True Monarchs speculate that a Divine Transformation Immortal Venerable descended upon the Xuanhuang Realm and was then killed by the people of this realm."

"Moreover, this must have happened a long time ago."

"Perhaps my senior brother knows, but this servant truly knows nothing about this Nascent Soul Immortal Venerable."

Chu Huaixu frowned slightly upon hearing this.

A long time ago?

That would not be the era of the Dao Ancestor.

In other words, a very long time ago, there was actually an unparalleled expert in the Xuanhuang Realm who could kill a Nascent Soul Immortal Venerable.
Chu Huaixu was quite surprised by this.

But things from so long ago are indeed more difficult to uncover and explore.

He's just trying to find a way to trigger the hidden quest.

At this moment, Wen Shiyu secretly observed her master, knowing that her master was probably dissatisfied with her performance.

She quickly remembered something and immediately said:
“Master! I’ve just remembered something else.”

"Say!"

"This servant does not know what kind of rank or attainment this is."

"However, Kunlun has not seen snow for two thousand years."
