Upon hearing the system notification, Lu Chen didn't hesitate and silently said in his mind, "Activate."

The moment Lu Chen finished speaking, a refreshing feeling washed over him, and for a moment, Lu Chen felt incredibly relaxed.

Lu Chen then tried to absorb the spiritual energy in the air. The next moment, the spiritual energy in the room surged into his body. As the spiritual energy entered his body, Lu Chen found that he could no longer feel pain.

Even without dual cultivation to distract himself, and with the spiritual energy entering his body and devouring the life force of his cells, he felt no discomfort or pain whatsoever.

Moreover, he discovered that after those evil spirits devoured his life force, they generated a strange substance. This substance, once integrated into his body, made him stronger and strengthened his meridians, allowing the evil spirits to circulate more smoothly within him.

When Lu Chen sensed the substance that the spiritual energy was generating, he felt something was strange. He had a sense of familiarity with it, but he didn't know where he had seen this kind of thing before.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Chen decided to give this peculiar substance a name.

Lu Chen thought to himself, "Let's call it 'supernatural substance'."

As a large amount of spiritual energy surged into Lu Chen's body, Lu Chen's cultivation level continued to rise, while the spiritual energy of the few strange beads in the room was rapidly dissipating.

Mid-stage Human Realm... Late-stage Human Realm... Peak Human Realm...

Lu Chen was just one step away from breaking through to the Spirit Realm.

However, at this moment, Lu Chen clearly felt that his cultivation level had reached a bottleneck. Even if he continued to absorb spiritual energy, he could not break through. It seemed that he needed a breakthrough opportunity.

Bai Qingqing was stunned as she sensed Lu Chen's aura growing stronger. She clearly felt that Lu Chen's power had surpassed her own, and she felt immense pressure beneath him. This meant that Lu Chen's current cultivation level was higher than hers.

That's way too exaggerated.

Lu Chen went from an ordinary person to someone whose realm surpassed hers in just over a month. He was indeed possessed by a strange and evil spirit!

Otherwise, how could he absorb spiritual energy so easily? Only strange and evil spirits would not experience any discomfort when absorbing spiritual energy.

After breaking through, Lu Chen adjusted the spiritual energy within his body. Then, his gaze returned to Bai Qingqing. Seeing Bai Qingqing staring intently at him, her beautiful eyes scrutinizing him, Lu Chen smiled and said, "I have some good news for you."

Bai Qingqing asked with a suspicious expression, "What good news?"

Lu Chen said, "You're pregnant."

Upon hearing this, Bai Qingqing was momentarily stunned, but she quickly realized that pregnancy takes time and is preceded by warning signs. She didn't even know she was pregnant, so how could Lu Chen possibly know?

Bai Qingqing thought Lu Chen was playing a trick on her, so she said expressionlessly, "It's not easy for a Spirit Warrior to have offspring."

Upon hearing Bai Qingqing say this, Lu Chen knew that Bai Qingqing did not believe him, so he said, "You will understand in a few days."

After all, she has just become pregnant, and the signs of pregnancy have not yet appeared, such as drowsiness, craving sour foods, and morning sickness.

At this moment, Lu Chen rolled over and lay down next to Bai Qingqing on the soft couch.

Now that his cultivation level has reached a bottleneck and Bai Qingqing is pregnant, there is no need to continue tormenting her.

Seeing that Lu Chen let her go so easily, Bai Qingqing was a little puzzled. In the past, Lu Chen would never give up until he had been bothering her for an hour or two. Why did he let her go so quickly today?
Could it be that he broke through to a higher level, rendering dual cultivation ineffective? Lu Chen's dual cultivation technique was too heaven-defying, allowing his cultivation level to rise so rapidly. This technique seemed to have no drawbacks, but a technique without drawbacks couldn't exist in this world, since they absorbed spiritual energy for cultivation; every technique has its limitations. Either the technique's level is extremely high, or its potential is extremely low.

Bai Qingqing suspected that once a certain level was reached, practicing this dual cultivation technique would become useless, which was why Lu Chen let her go and didn't continue dual cultivation with her.

Bai Qingqing then tentatively asked, "What realm are you at now?"

Lu Chen didn't hide anything and said directly, "Peak of the Human Realm."

……

Bai Qingqing widened her beautiful eyes slightly, stood up, turned to the side, and looked at Lu Chen with disbelief, "Really?"

Lu Chen turned to look at her shocked face and said with a smile, "You are my wife, why would I lie to you?"

Bai Qingqing remained silent. She was only at the mid-stage of the Human Realm, and that was with the Zhennan Prince's Mansion doing everything it could to cultivate her. Lu Chen, on the other hand, went from an ordinary person to the peak of the Human Realm in just over a month.

At Lu Chen's cultivation speed, wouldn't he become a Spirit Realm Spirit Warrior in less than half a year?

He may not even need half a year. He is already at the peak of the Human Realm. Maybe one day he will directly reach the Spirit Realm, perhaps in a few days, or perhaps next month.

Just how terrifying is this bizarre and evil spirit possessing Lu Chen's body!
Thinking of this, Bai Qingqing's eyes were filled with apprehension.

Seeing Bai Qingqing looking at him warily, Lu Chen asked, "What? Are you starting to suspect that I'm possessed by some strange evil spirit again?"

Bai Qingqing asked indifferently, "Who exactly are you? You can't possibly be Lu Chen."

Even Zhou Taizu and the first Zhennan King were not as heaven-defying as Lu Chen. Lu Chen's speed of improvement in cultivation can be said to be unprecedented, and may even be unparalleled in the future.

This is something no human could do.

Hearing Bai Qingqing's words, Lu Chen's lips curled up slightly, and he said, "I said it before, even if I weren't Lu Chen, what could you do to me?"

Seeing Lu Chen's arrogance, Bai Qingqing clenched her fists slightly. When Lu Chen's cultivation level was lower than hers, she couldn't do anything to him. Even if Lu Chen was possessed by a strange evil spirit, they couldn't directly attack him because he was the only son of the Prince of Zhennan.

Now that Lu Chen's strength has surpassed hers, she is even more helpless against him. Is she supposed to let this strange and evil spirit continue to occupy Lu Chen's body and live as Lu Chen forever?
In this way...

It doesn't seem like there's anything wrong with it?
The current Lu Chen is far more capable than the coward he used to be, and his methods are endless. If he were to take control of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, its fate would likely be rewritten.

If it were the old Lu Chen, once the Prince of Zhennan died, the Prince of Zhennan's mansion would probably have been ruined by Lu Chen very quickly.

Thinking of this, Bai Qingqing's mind went blank. Could it be that the Prince of Zhennan had figured this out, which is why he said that Lu Chen was not possessed by strange evil spirits?
With the strength and experience of the Prince of Zhennan, how could he not see that Lu Chen had been possessed by a strange and evil spirit? However, the Prince of Zhennan insisted that Lu Chen had not been possessed.

Perhaps the King of Zhennan saw the potential value of this strange and evil spirit and wanted to take a gamble.

Perhaps Lu Chen, possessed by some strange and evil spirit, will be able to live a few more days. (End of Chapter)
