In an era where everyone is cultivating immortality, the system wants me to become a demon?

Chapter 556 Fourth Level of Nascent Soul! Returning to Earth! (3.2K)

Realizing the preciousness of his own body, Su Yuan immediately prepared to try his hand at refining the Chaos Qi Conversion Device.

He temporarily blocked out his own pain, and with a gentle flick of his right hand, he severed his left hand at the elbow.

Nourished by the vast chaotic energy, in just a few breaths, a new hand grew from Su Yuan's severed arm, completely healed.

Su Yuan grasped his severed arm and carefully observed the changes in it.

He currently has one concern: whether flesh and blood will lose the characteristics of the Chaos Body after being separated from his body parts.

After waiting for more than half an hour, Su Yuan extended his severed arm into the gap in the cosmic boundary, allowing it to be fully bathed in the chaotic energy.

Another half hour later, he slowly pulled out the severed arm.

But what disappointed Su Yuan happened.

After being exposed to the chaotic energy for only half an hour, the skin of his severed arm showed signs of corrosion.

Although it lasted much longer than ordinary immortal treasures, the fact that it was corroded meant that once Su Yuan's body parts were separated from his main body, the characteristics of his chaotic body would quickly disappear.

Su Yuan was not entirely unprepared for this.

Given the special nature of Chaos Entities, it would be truly rare if they could be mass-produced at will.

However, Su Yuan did not come away empty-handed from this experiment.

He could vaguely sense that the reason why the chaotic nature of his severed arm disappeared was because his body was still mortal.

Only after the body transforms into a divine body and becomes a true immortal will the chaotic body's characteristics be completely solidified, making it immune to the power of chaos even when separated from the original body.

"To become an immortal?"

With a slight exertion of force, Su Yuan's severed arm dissipated into basic particles.

"Only by possessing the Chaos Body and then becoming an immortal can one have the possibility of analyzing the Chaos Qi and utilizing this endless energy. This is quite difficult."

Su Yuan couldn't help but murmur aloud.

However, despite the difficulty of this goal, which was almost unrealistic, Su Yuan was not discouraged.

It's just becoming an immortal, which sounds mysterious, but in reality, the Boundless Calamity Venerable could have taken that step long ago.

Even the cowardly and timid Wuliang Laodeng could become an immortal, so why can't I?
With a goal in mind, Su Yuan's motivation to become stronger grew even stronger.

He continued to calm himself, absorbing and refining the chaotic energy.

Time passed month after month.

Two years later.

Su Yuan slowly opened his eyes, and his aura underwent another dramatic change, his cultivation reaching an astonishing peak of the fourth level of the Nascent Soul stage.

This is also the limit he can reach in a short period of time.

Although the chaotic energy contains a certain amount of the Primordial Dao, the amount is far too small.

With only the limited power of the Primordial Dao contained within the Chaos Qi, it's unknown how long it would take for Su Yuan to accumulate enough power to advance to the next realm.

He can't wait that long.

In addition to the improvement of the main divine soul, the corrupt divine soul also made great progress, and its cultivation level surpassed that of the main divine soul, reaching the sixth level of the Divine Transformation Realm.

This is actually normal. With the Crown of Corruption, a divine treasure, as its foundation, the corrupted divine soul faces almost no bottlenecks on the path of flesh and blood.

Furthermore, because it only cultivates the Great Dao of Flesh and Blood, rather than cultivating all three thousand Great Daos like the Main Divine Soul, its progress is naturally faster.

"It's about time. We should go check on how the Immortal Cultivation Alliance is progressing."

After getting used to his newfound power, Su Yuan was eager to return home.

He turned around and looked at the breach in the boundary wall that he had dug more than two years ago.

After more than two years of erosion by the chaotic energy, the gap has grown from the size of a fist to the size of a human head.

This is enough to show that any tiny gap, if left unattended, will grow larger and larger until it becomes a gateway for chaos to invade.

Fortunately, the amount of sky-mending stones left by the Boundless Calamity Venerable was sufficient.

Su Yuan took out his leather bag, and from the bag he took out a jar containing the Sky-Mending Stone.

Su Yuan casually scooped some out of the jar and prepared to plug up the hole, just like a painter would.

Just as he was about to paste the patching stone onto the wall, the other end of the gap in the boundary suddenly trembled.

It seemed as if something was trying to burst out of the chaos.

Su Yuan frowned slightly, muttering to himself:

"Could it be that some chaotic being on the other side of chaos has been eyeing this gap for a long time? Is it getting anxious because it sees that I will soon close it?"

He couldn't help but feel a little curious, wondering what kind of creature was opposite him.

Is it going to be as endearing as a giant, chaotic whale, or just grow out of shape randomly?

If the other party has a relatively mild personality, I might be able to rely on the affinity brought by the Chaos Body to recruit another follower.

With this thought in mind, Su Yuan peered into the crack in the boundary wall, wanting to peek into the world on the other side.

But as soon as he pressed his eye against the gap in the boundary wall, he was startled.

Because on the other side of the crack in the boundary wall, there was also an eye pressed tightly against the boundary wall, staring at him with an extremely sinister gaze.

The eye was enormous, filling the entire crack in the boundary wall with just the eye itself.

Even though Su Yuan was a cultivator who had seen many storms, he couldn't help but feel a strong chill.

Without hesitation, he quickly used the Sky-Mending Stones to completely seal the gap in the boundary wall, continuously thickening it until all the stones were used up before stopping. Only then did Su Yuan have the leisure to consider why he was afraid of that eyeball.

He quickly figured out the reason.

It's because that eyeball holds wisdom in its gaze.

It was a highly intelligent being, at least as intelligent as humans.

Realizing this, Su Yuan couldn't help but sigh.

"It seems that it's not easy to fleece the creatures of Chaos. Who knows how vast Chaos really is, or if there are any Chaos races that have established civilizations within it?"

"Not to mention the so-called Chaos races, even a Chaos being born of nature and possessing human intelligence would be difficult to deal with."

Su Yuan understood that even with his Chaos Body and his cultivation at the fourth level of the Nascent Soul stage, exploring the Chaos would be nothing short of suicidal.

Only after becoming an immortal could he perhaps traverse the chaos and explore what lies within.

Shaking his head, Su Yuan stopped thinking about it and headed towards Blue Star.

On his way home, he also took a special look at the star map showing the distribution of the Divine Transformation Stars.

The true form of the Boundless Calamity Venerable remained at the boundary wall destroyed by the Immortal Execution Sword, and the number of Nascent Soul cultivators around Blue Star also met Su Yuan's expectations.

There were even more Nascent Soul cultivators than he had expected, presumably some veteran Nascent Soul cultivators who had come because of his reputation.

All things considered, including myself, the number of Nascent Soul cultivators in the Immortal Cultivation Alliance has reached an astonishing fifty-nine.

Of these fifty-nine Nascent Soul cultivators, forty-six are from the new generation. Among the remaining thirteen, one is the Spirit Medicine Fairy, who is Su Yuan's shadow; another is Wan Chenxin, an old monster of the same generation as Wuliang Jiezun; and the rest are all older generation Nascent Soul cultivators.

Moreover, barring any unforeseen circumstances, they are all Nascent Soul cultivators from the previous era, old acquaintances of Gui Yuan and Zi Jin Long Zun.

The reason for this speculation is quite simple.

Apart from Nascent Soul cultivators from even more ancient eras, unless they surrendered to the Boundless Calamity Venerable, they would not have survived the ancient cultivation period and would not have survived to the present day.

After a day and a night of rapid travel, Su Yuan finally approached Blue Star.

His strength has greatly increased, and he has refined a portion of the Great Dao of Space while absorbing the chaotic energy, so his travel speed has far exceeded that when he left.

Although he is still somewhat behind the Boundless Tribulation Venerable who can teleport across the entire map, he can already be considered one of the fastest Nascent Soul cultivators below the Boundless Tribulation Venerable.

It's even quite possible that we don't even need to add 'one of'.

Su Yuan was surprised by the changes on Blue Star after more than two years.

At this point, Blue Star was no longer a solitary tree with two worlds hanging on it, but rather a nebula radiating outward from it as the center.

This nebula, like a vortex, revolves around the core of Blue Star and Wan Chenxin.

Every star is a world, whether large or small.

The eleven brightest stars in the nebula represent the eight main worlds and three great worlds with Nascent Soul cultivators residing within them. (The Ancient Spirit Realm, one of the nine main worlds, was destroyed by Su Yuan.)
Su Yuan also discovered that Blue Star's size had increased dramatically compared to before.

If nothing unexpected happens, they should drive away the surrender faction in the Ancient Spirit Realm and then absorb this main world.

In this way, Blue Star has the status of three main worlds, and its spiritual energy and resources are the highest in the current era.

After observing for a while, even before meeting his friends and family on Blue Star, Su Yuan could already assert that the Blue Star Federation had definitely unified the Immortal Cultivation Alliance and become the leader of the alliance world.

Immediately afterwards, filled with anticipation, Su Yuan concealed his aura slightly and headed straight for Blue Star.

As they approached Blue Star, the World Tree rooted on Blue Star shook its trunk, sending out a leaf that lashed out at Su Yuan.

With a casual flick of his wrist, Su Yuan easily blocked the leaf, which was larger than a mountain.

"Su Yuan? You're back?"

The emerald green leaf transformed into Wan Chenxin's body, and smiled at Su Yuan:
"They didn't even say they were coming back. I thought it was an enemy attack."

"Senior Wan is very vigilant. I hid it so well, yet you still found it so easily."

Su Yuan replied with a smile.

Wan Chenxin rolled her eyes and said:

"Don't be silly. If I let you infiltrate so easily, won't you come after me later?"

Su Yuan chuckled and scratched his head.

Wan Chenxin looked Su Yuan up and down again, then nodded in satisfaction:
"Not bad, your cultivation has improved very quickly, and you have already surpassed my peak."

Immediately, she asked curiously:
"However, I've always had a question: where exactly did you cultivate? How were you able to make such rapid progress in such a short time?"

"Is it a mysterious area where the flow of time is different from the outside world, or some other special training ground?"

Su Yuan had never told anyone about the Chaos Body, so Wan Chenxin naturally didn't think that Su Yuan could absorb Chaos Qi to cultivate.

However, now that he was back, Su Yuan decided not to hide it anymore.

There's no point in hiding it anymore.

He didn't directly say that he had a Chaos Body, but explained that he could transform the chaotic energy into his own, and thus pried open a cosmic boundary to cultivate.

After hearing this, Wan Chenxin was surprised, but not to the point of losing control.

After all, Su Yuan had already used chaotic spiritual power when he dealt with the Faceless Man, and he was also able to subdue the Chaos Whale.

Adding the ability to absorb chaotic energy for cultivation is still quite reasonable.
