Simultaneous Transmigration: We Level Up Alone Across Multiple Worlds

Tianxing City.

The sacred mountain cave has eighty-one levels, rising from the seabed to the clouds.

The higher you go, the denser the spiritual energy becomes, the more expensive the cave dwellings are, and the fewer people live there.

The bottom few dozen floors were crowded with independent cultivators, merchants, and demon-hunting teams, making a ruckus day and night.

As you ascend, reaching the fifty-first floor and above, which is exclusive to the Star Palace, the sound of footsteps in the corridor is mostly swallowed up by the array, leaving only the faint hum of spiritual energy flowing through the spiritual veins.

Chen Chen's cave dwelling is on the sixty-third floor.

This level is not the highest among the outer layer of guest elders.

Several senior retainers live on the 68th floor. Those people have worked in the Star Palace for decades, and their cave dwellings were earned through years of seniority.

Chen Chen was able to live on the sixty-third floor after only a little over ten years in the palace, not because of seniority.

He is young and promising.

The cave dwelling was not large.

It has everything: a reception room, an alchemy room, a talisman room, and a quiet cultivation room.

In the very center of the meditation room was a futon made of fine bodhi wood.

Chen Chen sat cross-legged on the futon.

He was wearing a dark blue casual robe, made of the same fabric as the guest elders uniformly distributed by the Star Palace: a blend of silkworm silk and spirit cotton, which was dustproof and water-repellent.

His hair was casually tied back, and his handsome features hadn't changed much compared to more than ten years ago; cultivators in the Core Formation stage naturally age slowly.

But after spending more than a decade in a place like the Star Palace, dealing with old foxes from various factions every day, it's hard not to learn to be shrewd and worldly.

Chen Chen opened his eyes.

He exhaled a breath of stale air.

The three cycles of Xuan Shui compressed the mana of the mid-stage Core Formation cultivator three times, and he had gotten used to the feeling of his meridians swelling.

After synchronizing with Chen Chen of the Dragon Clan, he awakened a special physique that did not belong to this world.

The Vast Abyss Subdued Dragon Body.

Of course, Chen Chen chose the name himself.

He glanced down at his right hand.

With palms outstretched, fingers long and slender with distinct knuckles.

It was just the hand of an ordinary cultivator.

However, if someone could see through the skin to the metacarpal bones, they would find that the bones were much whiter than normal, almost like jade, and the bone density, under the influence of the Vast Abyss Dragon Body, had increased to a level that was not found in human cultivators.

Turn your hand over so that your palm is facing up.

Without any magical power being activated, a faint bluish-gray layer appeared under the skin in the very center of the palm.

That's the dragon vein fascia, almost invisible to the naked eye, but if you press it with your hand, you'll feel that the fascia is more than ten times harder than the skin.

Chen Chen withdrew his hand and placed it on his knee.

It took a long time to fully understand the intricacies of the Hanyuan Fulong Body.

At first, it was just a low-grade fever that lingered deep in my bones for several days after that synchronization ended, which I thought was an aftereffect of the Great Evolution Technique tempering my consciousness.

The fever subsided, but the body's reactions didn't stop.

It was only then that he realized that the synchronized deep blue dragon blood had truly permeated the body of this Core Formation stage cultivator.

After several tests, several functions of the Hanyuan Fulong Body were developed.

The simplest method is to temper the body with dragon blood.

The dragon vein fascia under the skin is a product of body tempering. It hardens automatically when subjected to external impact, without the need for divine sense or magical power.

The density of bones and muscles is also increased in this layer, and the current physical strength is roughly equivalent to that of demons of the same level.

Resistance to the Five Elements spells is enhanced by the hardening of the Dragon Vein Fascia, with the resistance to Water and Earth elements being particularly noticeable.

The jade-like bones and hardened fascia are manifestations of dragon blood infusing into the body.

As mentioned earlier, his physical strength was comparable to that of the demon race. When testing this ability, Chen Chen unexpectedly discovered that the demon he had killed believed he was a dragon demon beast until his death.

He has been claiming to be on good terms with a certain elder of the dragon race.

Chen Chen later discovered that as long as he prepared a dragon beast's demon core to use with his divine sense to conceal his aura, he could almost achieve a deceptively realistic effect.

This effect can save a lot of unnecessary trouble in the monster hunting operation in the alien sea.

Focus your inner vision on the dantian.

Late stage of Core Formation.

The pale blue Reincarnation Eye beside the Golden Core is still there, having remained ever since that synchronization, rotating around the Golden Core along a stable orbit.

Chen Chen had tried to move it with his divine sense, but it remained unmoved.

It has been discovered that it absorbs half of the spiritual energy I refine during my cultivation, and now it is almost as big as my Golden Core.

It assists me when I compress my cultivation using the Xuan Shui Wheel, but I know nothing else about its uses.

Judging from this trend, it seems like there's a second Golden Core being formed. We haven't even figured out the late stage of Core Formation yet, so we'll probably only see a difference when we reach Nascent Soul stage.

Chen Chen slowly sat up and walked to the corner of the meditation room, where he squatted down next to a stone vat that was as tall as a person.

The jar contained a translucent spiritual liquid, with a very faint layer of milky white mist floating on the surface.

At the bottom of the tank lay a dozen or so silver beetles, each about the size of a thumbnail… gold-eating beetles.

Each insect has a thin golden line on its back, which is a sign of adulthood.

The gold lines appeared during the second molt. The first time, only a very faint gold pattern emerged on the silver shell. After the second molt, the pattern narrowed into a line. After the third molt, the gold lines thickened by half a circle.

These dozen or so insects are from the most recent batch of adult insects that have just molted, and the brightness of the golden lines is not yet very stable.

There is no shortcut to breeding gold-eating insects.

It took him four years to grow from a larva in a state of suspended animation to the first batch of adults.

At first, it was fed with spirit pills, then it was replaced with fragments of Geng metal, and later it was a large quantity of mineral sand that was panned out of the abandoned mine of the Star Palace Alchemy Room.

Each time an animal molts, the survival rate eliminates a batch of weaker ones, leaving only the stronger ones.

This venom-breeding-style selection mechanism was not his design; it was the natural growth pattern of the gold-eating insects. Production could not keep up with consumption, and the size of the insect swarm shrank for the first few years until the first batch of adult insects began to lay eggs.

With the refining resources allocated by the Star Palace, plus the share entrusted to him for refining, and if he embezzled a little more, he could more than cover the daily expenses of raising these hundreds of insects.

Chen Chen plans to hunt a few more level-six or higher demonic beasts in the outer star sea, and increase the amount of demonic bone and horn powder mixed into the feed. The spiritual power contained in the demonic beast materials is different from the hardness of Gengjin ore, which is suitable for further strengthening of the adult stage.

With a pinch of demon bone powder still twirling between his fingertips, the knocking talisman outside the cave rang.

He sprinkled the powder back into the jade box and went to the reception room.

The stone gate rises.

The person standing outside the door was not a Star Palace steward.

It is Wang Ning, or more commonly known as... Zi Ling.

A dark blue long dress with narrow cuffs and a silver thread soft nail belt tied at the waist.

A pale gold talisman trim appeared on the hem of her skirt. At the early stage of Foundation Establishment, her three spiritual roots were already considered quite good for someone her age.

Compared to the little girl who called "Uncle Chen" while clutching a tattered notebook more than a decade ago, she has matured and already has the potential to live up to that title.

She held a communication jade slip used exclusively by the Miaoyin Sect in her hand, her gaze sweeping from Chen Chen's face to his shoulder, and then glancing at the lamps in the cave.

"Senior Chen, are you getting ready to go out?"
