A Useless Person Awakens to the Eternal Spirit Emperor Technique

The ninth floor of Wanbaoge is quiet and peaceful, devoid of any noise.

The air was filled with extremely rich and pure spiritual energy, the ground was covered with thousand-year-old warm jade, and spiritual herbs that nourished the mind and spirit were placed in the corners. Opening the window, one could overlook the entire Wanbao City, with an excellent view.

The Pavilion Master personally led Ling Chen and Su Qinghe inside, instructing the servants to serve them top-grade spiritual tea. After the servants withdrew, he personally poured tea for Ling Chen, his manners so impeccable that they bordered on humility.

You must know that he is a powerful cultivator at the Core Formation Realm. Within this radius of ten thousand miles, he is a figure who can shake the cultivation world with a stomp of his foot. Yet now he is treating a mere Qi Refining Level 9 youth with such courtesy. If word gets out, it will surely shock everyone.

Ling Chen sat upright in his chair, his expression calm and his aura steady. Facing a powerful cultivator at the Core Formation Realm, he showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, he exuded an air of superiority, the majesty of a Spirit Emperor etched into the soul. Even with the vast difference in their cultivation levels, he still inspired awe in the Pavilion Master.

"I am Shen Wanshan, the unworthy head of Wanbaoge Pavilion. I have taken the liberty of inviting you for a chat today, and I hope you will not take offense." Shen Wanshan spoke first, his tone humble, his gaze fixed on Ling Chen with a look of inquiry but no malice.

Ling Chen lightly tapped the table with his fingertips and said directly, "Since the Pavilion Master can see through my aura, he must also know that I am not an ordinary cultivator. Please speak frankly."

He didn't have time to beat around the bush. The world was fraught with danger, and there were forces secretly eyeing the Spirit Emperor's legacy. He had to obtain the Chaos Artifact as soon as possible to increase his strength.

Shen Wanshan's admiration deepened, and he no longer concealed it, speaking in a deep voice: "Young friend, you possess the aura of an ancient supreme being, majestic and awe-inspiring, far beyond the ordinary inheritances of this world. Just now, when you made your move, the primal power that could disintegrate spiritual energy was something I had never seen before in my life."

He paused, his gaze falling on the broken jade pendant in Ling Chen's hand, his tone grave: "Especially this jade pendant, it is an ancient artifact from the beginning of chaos, containing the primordial energy of heaven and earth. It has been treasured by the Wanbao Pavilion for hundreds of years, and no one has been able to decipher its secrets. I never expected that it would be so destined for you, young friend."

Ling Chen's heart stirred slightly. This Shen Wanshan did have some knowledge, as he could recognize the origin of the Chaos Ancient Artifact.

"The Pavilion Master has discerning eyes," Ling Chen did not deny it, his fingertips caressing the broken jade pendant. The chaotic energy on the jade pendant was slowly resonating with the black token in his sea of ​​consciousness. "I need this item, and I also need a treasure to conceal my aura. The Pavilion Master, please state your conditions."

There's no such thing as a free lunch. Shen Wanshan paid a huge sum of spirit stones for him and invited him upstairs, so he must have something to ask for.

Upon hearing this, Shen Wanshan no longer concealed anything, a bitter expression appearing on his face: "To be honest, my lifespan is nearing its end, and my cultivation has been stuck at the peak of the Core Formation Realm for decades, unable to break through. I am destined to never reach a higher realm in this life. I only ask that if you achieve great success in the future, young friend, you can protect my Wanbao Pavilion once, that would be enough."

He saw things clearly: even though Ling Chen's cultivation level was low now, he was bound to soar to great heights in the future. This investment was a sure thing.

Ling Chen raised his eyes, his gaze sharp, and stared directly at Shen Wanshan: "Aren't you afraid that the inheritance within me will bring annihilation to the Wanbao Pavilion?"

His legacy is enough to drive the entire cultivation world crazy; Shen Wanshan's actions are tantamount to inviting disaster.

Shen Wanshan laughed loudly: "I have lived for hundreds of years and have long seen through everything. Rather than waiting to die, I might as well take a gamble! Judging from your character, young friend, you are by no means an ungrateful person. Wanbao Pavilion is willing to befriend you with all its sincerity!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he took out a golden token and handed it to Ling Chen: "This is the Supreme VIP Token of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion. With this token, you may freely use any treasures below the ninth floor of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion, and all the resources of the pavilion are at your disposal!"

The surrounding spiritual energy rippled slightly, and Shen Wanshan genuinely wanted to rely on Ling Chen.

Ling Chen accepted the golden token, which was warm to the touch and engraved with the Wanbaoge's exclusive mark. He could feel Shen Wanshan's sincerity and immediately nodded: "Alright, I agree. As long as Wanbaoge does not become my enemy, no one can harm Wanbaoge in the slightest."

With the assistance of Wanbaoge, he has an extra layer of protection in this region, making his search for chaotic spiritual objects and improvement of his cultivation much smoother.

Upon hearing this, Shen Wanshan was overjoyed and quickly bowed, saying, "Thank you very much, young friend!"

He knew in his heart that he had made the right bet this time!

Ling Chen said no more and put on the concealment mask. The mask fit his face perfectly and instantly concealed all his aura. Even though Shen Wanshan was a Core Formation Realm expert, he could no longer detect anything about him and regarded him as an ordinary boy.

Immediately afterwards, he gripped the Chaos Jade Pendant in his hand, closed his eyes, concentrated, and activated the Eternal Spirit Emperor Technique in his sea of ​​consciousness.

The black token instantly burst forth with a ray of golden light, connecting with the Chaos Jade Pendant. The cracks on the jade pendant slowly lit up, and wisps of extremely pure chaotic energy flowed into his body through his fingertips, merging into his limbs, bones, meridians, and dantian.

The foundation of his Qi Refining Nine Layers, which he had already honed to its limit, was sublimated once again at this moment, becoming even more profound and solid!

Shen Wanshan and Su Qinghe stood aside, not daring to make a sound, only watching with shocked eyes.

They could clearly sense that Ling Chen's aura was increasing at an alarming rate. Although he was still at the ninth level of Qi Refining, his foundation was already far beyond that of his peers, and he could even easily crush Foundation Establishment cultivators!

A moment later, Ling Chen opened his eyes, a fleeting look of chaos in them.

He absorbed most of the chaotic energy in the Chaos Jade Pendant, and the rest was integrated into the black token, nurturing the Spirit Emperor's inheritance within the token. The patterns on the token also became clearer.

"Thank you, Pavilion Master." Ling Chen stood up and nodded slightly to Shen Wanshan.

This trip to Wanbaoge yielded far more than expected. Not only did they obtain the Concealment Mask and the Chaos Ancient Artifact, but they also made friends with Wanbaoge and solved their problems with spirit stones and resources.

Shen Wanshan quickly waved his hand: "Young friend, you are too kind. It is an honor for Wanbaoge. If you have any needs in the future, please feel free to ask, and Wanbaoge will do its best to fulfill them."

Ling Chen nodded, not lingering any longer. Now that his foundation was completely solid, it was time for him to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

"I need a quiet place to retreat in seclusion; three days will suffice."

Shen Wanshan immediately made arrangements: "The nine-story secret chamber has been prepared long ago. The spiritual energy is extremely rich, and no one dares to disturb it. Please follow me, young friend."

Following Shen Wanshan into the secret chamber, Ling Chen asked Su Qinghe to wait outside. He then closed the door, sat cross-legged on the jade bed, and began his secluded cultivation to break through to a higher realm.

With his past life's cultivation experience, the guidance of the Eternal Spirit Emperor Technique, and the tempering of his foundation by the chaotic energy, breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm was a natural progression for him.

He activated his cultivation technique, and the spiritual energy in his dantian instantly boiled, surging like a river, crashing into the barrier of the Foundation Establishment Realm!

There was no obstruction whatsoever, no bottleneck whatsoever!

With a soft crack, the shackles within his body were completely broken, and his spiritual energy surged wildly. His cultivation level of the ninth level of Qi Refining broke through and he stepped into the first level of Foundation Establishment!

Following that, the second level of foundation building, the third level of foundation building...

His cultivation level soared all the way up to the fourth level of Foundation Establishment before it slowly came to a stop!

Outside the secret room, Shen Wanshan sensed the terrifying aura of a breakthrough, and he froze on the spot, his face filled with horror.

"Three days... in just three days, he broke through from the ninth level of Qi Refining to the fourth level of Foundation Establishment... such talent is simply heaven-defying!"

He was increasingly grateful for his choice; such a person would surely shake the entire cultivation world in the future!

When the three days were up, the door to the secret chamber slowly opened.

Ling Chen walked out slowly, dressed in black, with a tall and straight posture and a restrained aura. He seemed no different from an ordinary cultivator, but the sharpness in the depths of his eyes was becoming increasingly keen.

With his Foundation Establishment Level 4 cultivation, combined with the Chaos Qi and the Spirit Emperor Technique, he could even fight against a Core Formation Realm cultivator!

Seeing him emerge from seclusion, Su Qinghe's eyes filled with joy, and she quickly stepped forward: "Ling Chen, you've successfully broken through!"

Ling Chen nodded slightly, a faint smile playing on his lips.

Just then, Shen Wanshan strode over with a grave expression, holding a secret letter in his hand. His tone was urgent: "Young friend, something terrible has happened! The Xuanjian Sect, in alliance with the Black Wind Ridge and Flowing Cloud Valley, has spread the news that you possess the inheritance of an ancient supreme being. Now, all three forces have gathered outside Wanbao City, intending to storm the city, seize the treasure, and take your life!"

Upon hearing this, Ling Chen's eyes flashed with a cold light, and a chilling killing intent instantly emanated from his body.

The Xuanjian Sect is truly courting death!

In his previous life, as the Spirit Emperor, no one dared to provoke him like this. In this life, however, these petty villains have come knocking on his door again and again.

"It seems it's time to get this problem out of the woods."

Ling Chen raised his hands, clenched his fists, felt the surging power within his body, and his eyes were filled with fierce fighting spirit.

Outside Wanbao City, thousands of cultivators from three major forces gathered, their momentum immense, their shouts echoing throughout the entire city.

The Xuanjian Sect leader stood in mid-air, his expression sinister, and shouted sternly, "Ling Chen, you brat, quickly hand over your inheritance and cripple your cultivation, or we will raze Wanbao City to the ground, leaving no one alive!"

The Black Wind Ridge chieftain and the Flowing Cloud Valley master both exuded powerful auras, being top experts below the Core Formation Realm, and they were eyeing the enemy with predatory intent.

The cultivators in the city were filled with fear and hid in their homes, afraid to go out.

Shen Wanshan's expression changed, and he was about to speak when Ling Chen strode out of the Wanbao Pavilion.

"Qinghe, wait here."

"Young friend, don't be impulsive!" Shen Wanshan quickly stopped him.

Ling Chen did not stop walking; his voice was calm, yet it carried an air of domineering arrogance.

"You worthless wretch, how dare you block my way?"

"Today, I will let the entire cultivation world know that those who provoke me, Ling Chen, will be killed without mercy!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he walked out of the Wanbao Pavilion and stood in the center of Wanbao City, looking up at the cultivators from the three major forces in mid-air.

Sunlight streamed down, illuminating his stern face, and his black clothes fluttered in the wind.

The aura of a fourth-level Foundation Establishment cultivator erupted suddenly, carrying the supreme majesty of a Spirit Emperor, sweeping across the entire Wanbao City!

"If you want my legacy, let's see if you have the life to take it!"
