Borrowing a sword

Chapter 347 Is this the [Nascent Soul Stage]?
Beneath the tip of the Heart Sword, a black lotus platform held it aloft.

Chu Huaixu carefully observed the black lotus platform through his inner vision.

It's strange that, even though it's a product of the sea of ​​consciousness, it has a jade-like texture.

It looks like it's made entirely of black jade, with the luster of jade.

Chu Huaixu sent out an [Information Probe] directly, and all that came out was a series of question marks.

This means that his authority is insufficient, or that it is itself an unknown entity.

At that moment, the dead fox subconsciously remembered something.

He suddenly remembered that after he came into contact with the Black Moon Cult members, he had triggered a hidden quest about the [Nascent Soul Stage].

The mission is called "The Lost Fruit Position".

Chu Huaixu opened his task interface and found that the task was not responding.

Does this mean that the power bestowed by Zhong Ming is unrelated to the lost fruit position?

This left Chu Huaixu somewhat puzzled.

Previously, the Black Moon Cult members felt that he carried the residual aura of a high-ranking official.

That period coincided with a breakthrough in his treatment of Zhong Ming.

In addition, there were Zhong Ming's many experiences in the fifth level of the Origin Spirit Realm, the unsolved mysteries that occurred there, and Ming Xuanji's attempt to peek into the secrets of heaven, which prevented him from curing Zhong Ming.
Considering all these factors, Chu Huaixu had doubts about him, and the source of those doubts lay with Zhong Ming.

After all, the disciples of that generation of the Gentleman's Temple were all monstrous geniuses.

When they entered the fifth floor, this group of people happened to be at their peak!
At that time, the Taoist sect's overall combat strength ranked first among the four major sects.

It's perfectly reasonable for this group to work together to kill a Nascent Soul cultivator and several other Core Formation cultivators.

Without the intervention of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, it would be highly unlikely that these Daoist masters could be nearly wiped out.

Therefore, Chu Huaixu's decision to take the Qing Shen Talisman to Zhong Ming this time was partly a test.

He wanted to see if this hidden quest could be triggered.

But who would have thought that instead of triggering the mission, Zhong Ming actually stuffed "dirty stuff" into my body!
“Li Chunsong was clearly there too.”

Why didn't he give it to him?

“Logically speaking, Zhong Ming shouldn’t know me at all, but once he regains his senses, he should be able to recognize Li Chunsong.”

Chu Huaixu couldn't figure out the reason for a while.

There are probably some secrets hidden here that he needs to uncover further.

"Since we can't find anything out, we'll just have to try it ourselves."

Chu Huaixu got out of bed and no longer rested his head on Han Shuangjiang's plump thighs, which were known for their beautiful legs.

"What's wrong?" the girl asked.

"It's nothing, I'm just going outside to practice my skills."

The large ice block followed him to the courtyard, where he stood in the moonlight, his index and middle fingers joined together, and a sword aura condensed at the tip of his finger.

He looked down and examined it for a while, feeling somewhat surprised.

"Tsk, what's going on?"

The overall value of this sword energy is at least 30% higher than usual!
This greatly shocked Chu Huaixu.

—The Fifth Master's "filthy thing" was stuffed in perfectly!

Please forcefully instill this in me!
What the hell is this thing? It made my combat power skyrocket!

Moreover, standing under the moonlight, blending into the darkness, he felt refreshed and particularly comfortable.

It was as if he belonged to the night!

Or perhaps it's more accurate to say that the night belongs to him!

"What exactly is the origin of this black jade lotus platform in the sea of ​​consciousness?!"

Chu Huaixu looked up at Han Shuangjiang and called out, "Senior Sister, spar with me?"

Upon hearing him address her as "senior sister" again, Han Shuangjiang immediately guessed that he was up to no good.

As expected, she was soon given a severe beating by Chu Huaixu.

Her plump buttocks were subjected to his "ravaging" quite a bit!
However, during this exchange, the big ice block was also extremely shocked.

"How come you're so much better than during the championship battle?" she asked, stunned.

On that day, Chu Huaixu naturally went all out, holding nothing back.

But today, his overall strength is far greater than when he killed Qin Xuanxiao.

Moreover, it's a comprehensive improvement.

Both strength and speed have seen a significant increase!
Chu Huaixu looked down at himself, then looked up and replied, "Perhaps it's because Fifth Master paid the treatment fee in advance?"

Han Shuangjiang was completely confused.

Because the commotion outside was quite loud, Xu Ziqing and Lin Zixuan, who were meditating and cultivating, came out to check on the situation after circulating their energy for one cycle.

Chu Huaixu watched as the two protagonists of this world emerged from the house, then raised a finger and beckoned to them, saying:
"You've come at the right time! Come on, all three of you, come at me together!"

Lin Zixuan was still a little confused, but Xiao Xu, who always obeyed Chu Huaixu's orders, had already said loudly, "Yes! Senior Brother!"

The girl looked at this half-enemy dressed in a black and gold robe, gritted her teeth slightly, and then joined the battle.

Less than half an incense stick's time had passed.

"Bam—!"

The petite girl was kicked away by Chu Huaixu and flew directly over the courtyard wall.

As for Han Shuangjiang and Xu Ziqing, they had already been knocked away.

Because he wasn't familiar with Lin Zixuan, Chu Huaixu ultimately resorted to violence against her.

I must say, it feels pretty good on the feet.

He felt a satisfying kick. Even when attacked by three world protagonists, Chu Huaixu was capable of defeating them!
Without Xu Ziqing using the bronze sword, the strongest of the three was actually the big ice block who had already entered the fourth realm.

As a crude and uncouth physical cultivator, Xiao Xu was naturally the most resilient to beatings, which is why Chu Huaixu beat him the most severely.

As Han Shuangjiang's Daoist partner, he grabbed her arm and flung her away, a blatant act of differential treatment.

At this moment, Lin Zixuan, who had been kicked away, had a mournful face, gasping for breath and rubbing the spot where she had been kicked.

She suddenly felt a little wronged.

Not only did they have to live as guests in the home of a half-enemy, but they also had to be used as punching bags.

I was so stupid, why did I have to be his sparring partner for free!

But as a god-level support, she is actually the most perceptive of the three.

"How did Chu Huaixu suddenly become so much stronger?"

"And it's a comprehensive increase in strength!"

Lin Zixuan was shocked, and then felt terrified!
How many days has it been since the East-West Continents Grand Competition ended?
In such a short period of time, he was able to achieve a leap in strength even while deliberately suppressing his cultivation level and not breaking through to the fourth realm.
How did they do that?!
Her elder brother, the Crown Prince, had always been known as the number one genius of the Moon Kingdom, and she knew perfectly well how exceptionally talented he was.

But compared to this Chu Huai Xu, the difference is indeed frighteningly large!

"How could such a monster exist in the world?" Lin Zixuan couldn't understand.

After exchanging a few words, Chu Huaixu began to usher everyone back to their rooms.

He returned to his room and sat down on a prayer mat.

For some reason, as if inspired by a sudden inspiration, he tried practicing the Daoist classic once.

Then, Chu Huaixu was surprised to find that he had gained 30% more experience points than before!

"Oh no, does this mean my cultivation talent has also improved?"

So, what exactly is this black jade lotus platform?

Moreover, and more importantly, according to the system prompts, this unknown force has been integrated by the system.

In other words, it might not have been like this originally.

It was only after being processed by the system that it transformed into the black jade lotus platform beneath the Heart Sword.

Unable to figure it out for the time being, Chu Huaixu stopped thinking about it too deeply.

We can slowly dig out useful information later.

Now all he knows is that he has become much stronger.

"Now that I'm entering the second level of the Origin Spirit Realm, I feel even more confident."

As dawn broke and the east began to lighten, Chu Huaixu clearly felt himself becoming "weaker."

The strength boost that the Black Jade Lotus Platform gave him decreased from 30% to 10%.

"So, its effects are mainly at night?"

"Will I become even stronger after it gets dark?"

This made him even more confused.

What kind of power is this that even distinguishes between day and night?
It's weaker during the day and stronger at night.

"This is truly bizarre," Chu Huaixu thought to himself.

After finishing breakfast, he took the initiative to find Jiang Zhi and asked his grandmaster to take a look at the black jade lotus platform.

As a result, Jiang Zhi couldn't figure it out either.

So the old man started calling for help.

The high-ranking members of the Daoist sect are usually quite busy, but Jiang Zhi and Chu Yinyin are incredibly idle.

Regardless, Chu Huaixu's imminent entry into the Origin Spirit Realm is currently of paramount importance.

So, everyone gathered around him again, taking turns to investigate.

Even Zhao Shuqi, who had cultivated pupil techniques, couldn't see anything.

The only thing that can be confirmed now is that Chu Huaixu's sea of ​​consciousness seems to be more stable.

With the Heart Sword guarding it, it would have been extremely difficult for them to probe Chu Huaixu's sea of ​​consciousness with their divine sense.

Now that there is another black jade lotus platform, the isolation of the sea of ​​consciousness from external forces has been further strengthened!

This is undoubtedly a good thing.

—The difficulty of possession has increased!

Since Chu Huaixu transmigrated to the Xuanhuang Realm, he has frequently encountered old beings who want to forcibly take over his body.

Now that the sea of ​​consciousness has become more stable, the success rate of others possessing the body will decrease significantly.

This put his mind at ease a bit.

The high-ranking members of the Taoist sect also felt that this was a good thing.

"Although we don't know exactly what Fifth Senior Brother did, it shouldn't be anything bad," Jiang Zhi began to conclude.

"No one knows what kind of cultivators you will encounter when you enter the Origin Spirit Realm this time."

"For Xuanhuang cultivators, the most troublesome problem for Kunlun cultivators is actually the primordial spirit."

“In this way, you have an extra layer of protection,” Jiang Zhi, dressed in a white robe, said in a deep voice.

Chu Huaixu nodded slightly; it seemed that this was indeed the case.

But I must say, the black sword hovering above the black jade lotus platform, with a wisp of primordial power swirling around it, looked pretty cool.

And so, the days went by, one after another.

The day has come for us to depart for the Primordial Spirit Realm.
