System crash? I prove it with my control panel!

Tonight, the full moon shines, and the bathing pool is complete!

Before Chen Wen and the others lay a pool of still water, its color as dark as an unpolished mirror.

A fine mist rose from the water's surface, and streams of milky-white light cascaded down from the sky, silently flowing into the pool.

The three of them held their breath, their eyes fixed intently on the shimmering pool.

Chen Wen broke the silence first, "Gentlemen, what are you waiting for? Enter the pool!"

Chu Feng laughed, "Hahaha, the champion should be the first to enter the pool!"

"That's what I think too, Brother Jingwen, hurry up and get into the pool."

Zhai Ji also urged Chen Wen.

Chen Wen smiled slightly, "It's just a lucky honor. The three of us are indispensable. Let's all enter together!"

Without waiting for their reaction, he pulled them into the bathing pool.

Seeing that Chen Wen was determined, the two men stopped trying to refuse.

After entering the pool.

Chen Wen felt an indescribable sensation instantly envelop his entire body.

It wasn't the moistening sensation of ordinary water; it felt more like jumping into a thick, warm slurry.

At first, it was a gentle comfort, as if an invisible hand was softly massaging tired muscles and bones.

But just a moment later, the gentle weather suddenly changed!

Countless tiny yet sharp needle-like drops of moonlight essence surged and penetrated the body through the pores and along the meridians.

"Well!"

Almost simultaneously, muffled groans escaped from the mouths of the three.

Chen Wen felt that every inch of his muscles, bones, and even internal organs were being penetrated and cleansed by these "light needles".

The moonlight forcefully washes away the tiny impurities that have accumulated in the body and that the person has not even noticed.

Impurities transformed into wisps of grayish-black filth that seeped from the body surface, only to be purified and eliminated by the surrounding flowing liquid light.

This process brings a mix of stinging and itchy pain, like being massaged by No. 88, but she's using a fascia knife to scrape your muscles.

You know it's for your own good, and you're in a good mood, but the pain hasn't lessened at all.

After the pain, a deep-seated sense of clarity and lightness began to spread.

His aptitude was average, but under the tempering of the moonlight, his meridians widened slightly at an imperceptible speed, the stagnation in the flow of spiritual energy was quietly cleared, and his sea of ​​consciousness seemed to have been washed by the moonlight, becoming clearer and more transparent.

This was a fundamental improvement; although it didn't make him an overnight genius, it cleared many obstacles for his future path and laid a more solid foundation.

Of course, these are not intuitive.

Intuitively,

[Ding! Qi Refining Level 4 (8/100)]

[Ding! Qi Refining Level 4 (15/100)]

......

His cultivation level soared rapidly, like riding a train, until he broke through to the fifth level of Qi Refining, at which point it gradually slowed down.

This was because Chen Wen deliberately suppressed his cultivation, fearing that if his cultivation level improved too quickly, it would lead to an unstable foundation.

As for cultivation level, it can be improved at any time. The most important thing now is to solidify the foundation.

He could still distinguish between what was important and what was not.

Just as Chen Wen was enduring and adapting to this comprehensive tempering, another change occurred in the pool.

A dazzling light quietly emerged from the bottom of the pool.

If Chen Wen opened his eyes, he would find that the light was exactly the same as the imperial nectar drawn down from the Cleansing Pool, only the color was darker.

It rose slowly, but trembled slightly between Chu Feng and Zhai Ji, as if it didn't know where to go.

Just now.

A colorless figure silently emerged from Chu Feng's body. Upon seeing the light, a glint flashed in its eyes.

"Wow, the wind is in luck! It's actually the essence of the Emperor's Flowing Essence. Judging by its quality, it must have been condensed for at least several thousand years. What a treasure!"

His invisible hand instantly grabbed the essence of the Emperor's Flowing Essence and transferred it into Chu Feng's body.

Chu Feng's body instantly turned bright red, like a boiled shrimp!

Upon seeing this, the village chief immediately understood that the person had eaten too well and was suffering from indigestion.

Even Foundation Establishment cultivators would be envious of this; it's not something a mere Qi Refining cultivator could enjoy.

There are two options at hand.

One method is to seal it into Chu Feng's body, allowing him to slowly refine and absorb it.

Secondly, it means to separate a portion.

The thought had barely crossed his mind when suddenly the image of Zhai Ji flashed into his head. This young man had been virtuous and upright throughout the journey, and had even brought out that precious…

Just as he thought of this, the village chief suddenly opened his eyes wide in anger.

"A little bit of luck? Even if I were a tiger fallen into the plains, you wouldn't dare try to deceive me. You want it? I won't give it to you!"

After saying that, he drew out a portion of Chu Feng's essence and pointed it at Chen Wen, who was standing to the side.

The spirit trembled slightly on its way to Chen Wen's body, as if it was unwilling to enter.

However, it was forcibly stuffed in by an invisible hand.

The village chief then turned and returned to Chu Feng's body, no longer paying attention to Chen Wen.

At this time.

Chen Wenben was trying his best to suppress his cultivation and guide the essence of the moonlight to temper his physical body.

Suddenly, a powerful and pure force surged into his dantian.

Just for a moment.

He felt as if he had taken a super tonic, and his whole body felt indescribably comfortable.

However, that power continues to emanate.

He felt like his whole body was about to explode!

He forced his eyes open and looked around, only to see Chu Feng looking like a boiled shrimp, with wisps of fire still emanating from his body, which were instantly extinguished by the water.

Zhai Ji, on the other hand, was calm and composed, seemingly having already broken through to the fourth level of Qi Refining.

It seems to be related to Chu Feng!

He secretly thought.

Since Chu Feng is like me, that's a good thing.

However, he has no spirit body, so he has no way to fully utilize so much spiritual liquid, which is like concentrated moonlight essence.

Improving one's aptitude requires a gradual process; with so much progress, it would probably take half a year of seclusion to fully refine it.

He hurriedly closed his eyes and began to forcefully control the power flowing into his gluttonous stomach.

Nowadays, only a gluttonous stomach can contain such enormous power.

You can store it and absorb it slowly.

A voracious stomach, only taking in and never giving out!

In other words, no matter what kind of power you are, once you enter my stomach, you have to stay put and be digested.

Unless Chen Wen releases him voluntarily.

The black bird flies and the rabbit runs.

In the blink of an eye, three days have passed.

That day.

Chen Wen opened his eyes, revealing a pair of eyes as clear as the moon.

He has completely sealed the power within his body into the gluttonous stomach.

Now, the gluttonous beast's stomach is churning with streams of spiritual liquid.

However, these spiritual liquids can only be viewed, not eaten, causing the gluttonous stomach to constantly rebel and waves of greed to surge forth.

Fortunately, the Xuanhuang Refining Heart Technique was able to suppress it.

He leaped out of the pool.

The spiritual energy around him vibrated, shaking the pool water apart. With a thought, he released a cleansing spell, purifying his entire body.

It then landed on the ground.

Not far away, there was a stone platform with writings left by Chu Feng and his companion on it.

Brother Jingwen, Brother Chu, my cultivation is low, so I will take my leave first. I will congratulate you again when I am out! —Zhai Ji

Brother Jingwen, my strength is too weak, I shall take my leave first! —Chu Feng

"This guy!"

Chen Wen chuckled to himself.

What do you mean by "weak strength"? It's clearly because they're afraid of causing trouble over rankings if they meet, so they'd rather leave early and avoid it.

However, since it's already a done deal, there's no need to think about it anymore.

He took off the talisman from his waist and crushed it.

In an instant, the same distorted feeling as before struck again.

They came with trepidation, but left with composure.

Their states of mind are different.

I felt a moment of disorientation.

When Chen Wen opened his eyes again, he found himself on a high platform.

All around was silent.

But the next moment.

A sound like a mountain roaring and a tsunami crashing through the sky;

"Greetings, Master Chen, the top three disciple of Zixia Peak!"

"Greetings, Master Chen, the top three disciple of Zixia Peak!"

"Greetings, Master Chen, the top three disciple of Zixia Peak!"

...

The whistling sound was continuous and resounded through the sky.

Chen Wen felt a chill run down his spine, and for a moment he was in a daze. Had he really succeeded? Had he truly become the true successor?!

He thought that even if he became the leader, he would at most be an inner disciple.

After all, I am of dull talent, and even if I win the championship, I may not be able to catch the eye of the other princes.

Unexpectedly, a peak master actually accepted him as a disciple!

He has a label on him; he should be the deputy peak master of Zixia Peak.

Regardless, I am the true inheritor!

This is the true teaching!

Chen Wen was momentarily dazed, his past experiences flashing through his mind;

Having arrived in this world by sheer luck, and then awakening his spiritual roots and system, he believes himself to be the chosen one...

Then Chen Polang imparted his memories, Qin Shuiru took pity on him, and he joined the sect.

He finally realized that he was just an ordinary cannon fodder, someone who used Qin Shuiru's name to bully others.

Hearing about the concept of destiny, he realized he had been misled and engaged in a life-or-death struggle with He Yuhao...

This is the final image.

He succeeded!

Not relying on luck, not relying on talent, and having no background.

The true teachings of a powerful sect in the realm!

Chen Polang, did you see that?

Chen Wen looked at the disciples bowing below, unable to hide his excitement.

"Distracting thoughts are the fuel..."

He frantically activated the Xuanhuang Refining Heart Technique to suppress his chaotic thoughts.

Li Xuan, standing to the side, couldn't help but gasp at the disciple before him. Of the ten champions, he was the only one with a mid-grade spiritual root, while the rest were all geniuses with top-grade spiritual roots and spiritual bodies.

Without a powerful background, even the most talented individuals struggle to advance within a sect, but this disciple before us... he's incredibly lucky!

At this moment, Deacon Zhao Ming, who was in the corner, suddenly transmitted his voice:

"Junior Brother Chen, please pay your respects to the fellow disciples below!"

"Thank you for your guidance, senior brother."

Chen Wen replied, then straightened his clothes.

He nodded slightly and smiled gently: "Greetings, fellow disciples!"

Then he turned his gaze to Li Xuan, who was standing to the side. Without hesitation, he straightened his clothes, strode up to Li Xuan, and, under the watchful eyes of many, solemnly bowed and said in a loud voice:

"Disciple Chen Jingwen expresses his deepest gratitude to Master Li for his meticulous guidance over the past year; this disciple will never forget it!"

A hint of emotion flashed across Li Xuan's eyes. He offered a gentle support and said softly:

"Alright, Junior Nephew Jingwen, I was just doing my duty as a lecturer."

"Now that you are a true disciple of Zixia Peak, your status is different from before. I accept this greeting, but you don't need to be so formal in the future. Please rise."

Chen Wen got up as instructed, his attitude remaining respectful.

Li Xuan nodded slightly, said no more, and simply said:

"Come with me. According to the sect's rules, the leader can go to the Scripture Pavilion to choose a fifth-order cultivation technique to inherit. It is the foundation of your path and is of utmost importance. Peak Master Qin has ordered me to take you there."

After saying that, Li Xuan flicked his sleeve, and a gentle spiritual force supported Chen Wen. The two of them transformed into a streak of azure light and left the noisy and deafening lecture square.

He left behind the deafening cheers and countless complex gazes.

Zhao Ming withdrew his envious gaze and walked to the high platform.

"Disperse, all of you. From this day forward, you may report to your respective peaks. Those who have not yet entered a peak may develop their own cave dwellings on the outer peaks..."

...

Above the clouds.

Chen Wen was filled with excitement.

Flying is humanity's yearning for the sky.

He can now try gliding, but to fly by controlling objects, he has to wait until the late stage of Qi Refining, when his spiritual energy is sufficient to support flight.

But to fly through the air like this, one must first reach the Foundation Establishment stage.

When he was in the Chen family, everyone could fly, so he thought it wouldn't be too difficult.

Later he learned that the few people in the Chen family who could fly had all used tricks: lightness techniques, wind manipulation techniques, object manipulation techniques, plus flying swords, which allowed them to achieve short-term flight.

However, this method is only used by those who have no hope of progress, because only those people have the time to study these spells and combine them.

Just a moment later.

He was then led to a huge tower.

The tower is about 1,000 meters high and occupies an area the size of a small mountain.

Li Xuan led him directly to the entrance of the fifth floor, and then said:

"Alright, you can go in and choose your own cultivation technique, and then you can go to Purple Cloud Peak to pay your respects to the Peak Master."

"Thank you very much, Teacher Li!"

Chen Wen bowed with his hands clasped in greeting.

Li Xuan nodded, then stepped into the air and departed.

After watching him leave, Chen Wen turned and entered the Sutra Repository.

There was no one guarding the entrance.

Upon entering, he suddenly felt a pang of fear, and his disciple token flashed with a faint light. Only then did he realize that the unsettling aura had vanished.

Suddenly, an old voice rang in my ears:

"You may choose one fifth-tier inheritance, except for the secret inheritances of Zixia Peak, which cannot be selected from the other peaks."

The sound was vast and ethereal, as if it came from beyond the heavens, yet also seemed to be right next to us.

Chen Wen dared not be negligent and quickly bowed, saying, "Thank you for your guidance, senior."

After all the sound ceased, Chen Wen stepped inside.

A blur flashed before my eyes, and the tearing sensation I felt when entering the secret realm returned.

Chen Wen felt a chill run down his spine. No wonder there was no one outside the Scripture Pavilion; it turned out that the real Scripture Pavilion was inside the secret realm.

The lights came on again.

He found himself in a huge hall.

Instead of the sutra racks I had imagined, there were rows of stone tablets standing side by side.

Looking around, one can see at least a hundred stone tablets.

Chen Wen couldn't help but gasp. The sect's foundation was far too profound!

There were still a few disciples in the hall at this time. Chen Wen dared not make a sound to disturb them and silently walked closer to a stone tablet at the entrance to examine it.

Upon inspection, it was discovered that the stone tablet contained information about the fifth floor.

I only understood it after reading it carefully.

These stone tablets are actually enlightenment tablets, which can engrave the inheritance of cultivation techniques into the mind, equivalent to the ProMAX version of jade slips.

Besides inscribing cultivation techniques, those stone tablets also check the compatibility between themselves and the techniques, record seals to prevent them from being passed on, and seal the inheritance of higher realms, etc.

To be precise, there are only thirty-six sets of fifth-order inheritances in the five floors of this library; the rest are fragments, supernatural powers, and the like.

These traditions were collected from various places over the years by the sect to ensure the continuity of its lineage.

Chen Wen stepped inside and walked to the first stone tablet.

The Great Void Qi Formula

Refine chaos into one primordial energy, transforming heaven and earth into the dantian. Upon reaching the pinnacle of cultivation, the physical body becomes the universe, and stars are created and destroyed with a single thought. To enter the path, one needs an "innate, immaculate Dao body." This is an incomplete version of the original Mahayana cultivation method.

Chen Wen turned and left.

Are you kidding me? An innate, immaculate Dao body?

There isn't even a spirit.

Dao Body? Never even heard of it!

The second one;

The Book of Reincarnation

Within the depths of one's primordial spirit, a ninefold cycle of reincarnation is condensed. With each tribulation, one awakens a lifetime's cultivation and memories.

The gathering of nine seals offers a glimpse into the way of time.

Note: Easily lost in the past, the true self sinks into oblivion, only the first five levels remain now.

Goodbye!

The Undying Mysterious Art of Hundred Refinements

Sorry to bother you!

The Heaven-Burning Divine Fire Refinement

It can absorb all the fires in the world into its body, and refine the "Myriad Fire Divine Cauldron" golden elixir, which can burn the heavens and boil the seas.

Note: Extremely prone to internal heat and poisoning, resulting in a violent temperament.

Huh~

This cultivation method seems suitable for Brother Chu!

Chen Wen paused for a moment on this exercise manual.

At this time.

A woman's voice came from behind him, "Stop looking! This method is a scam. Rong Wanhuo is a fraud. Those who practiced this method all died, their bodies never to be found. They were all burned to death by the incompatible flames!"

Chen Wen's heart skipped a beat; it was just right!

That's the feeling. Others can't fix it, but he has an old man on him who knows how to fix it.

Chen Wen dared to guarantee with his own head that Chu Feng would definitely cultivate this technique!

However, he remained calm and turned to look at the figure behind him.

Suddenly, my eyes lit up.

........
