#119 - Quasi-Eternal King
Qin Keqing smiled and shook her head.
She knew what Yan Qingcheng was sighing about.
If it weren't for Yan Qingcheng's protection, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
… …
Inside the rune tower's barrier.
Jun Wuxie's aged and withered body was undergoing astonishing changes at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The effect of the Spring of Life was extraordinary; the life energy was too rich, flowing through his limbs and bones, nourishing every inch of flesh.
His shriveled muscles gradually became full.
The wrinkles on his skin decreased, his skin gradually regained its luster, and his full head of white hair turned back to black.
It only took a short hour.
His physical condition stabilized.
With the Spring of Life and the rune tower's healing power, the speed of his body's recovery was astonishing with the dual treatment.
He woke up, carefully feeling the changes in himself, and couldn't help but feel joy in his heart.
"My Chaotic Origin Bone will soon be restored!"
He looked inside his body and saw the section of spine at his waist, which had undergone considerable changes compared to before.
On the lowest section of that spine, complex and profound runes had grown, and chaotic essence had been derived!
These chaotic essences were scattered throughout his limbs and bones, integrated into every inch of flesh, perfectly merging with his body.
"How could this be?"
Jun Wuxie was astonished.
The Chaotic Bloodline was recovering, but how could the derived chaotic essence automatically combine perfectly with his body?
Although this was a good thing for him, meaning that he could use chaotic essence to temper himself in the future, making his body stronger and possessing chaotic characteristics.
However, he was still surprised.
"Could it be because my original dantian was already shattered, and I tempered my physical body into a new dantian, which led to the chaotic essence merging into my flesh and blood?"
He thought about it, and only this could explain it.
"My blood energy is much purer than before! And why is my blood energy running so fast?"
Jun Wuxie took a closer look and realized that he was about to break through!
He was shocked and quickly suppressed it.
Now, his body had not completely recovered, and his meridians were relatively fragile, so it was definitely not the time to break through, as it was likely to rupture his meridians.
"Your luck is very good, and your comprehension is not bad."
The mysterious woman's voice sounded in his mind: "You used Xiao Tianming's true energy to activate the dormant Chaotic True Source, and you comprehended the hidden sword move of the Mortal World Sword Art in the extreme battle.
The gains from this duel with Xiao Tianming were really too great."
"Senior, do you think the method that Xiao Tianming used halfway and then stopped, can it block my invincible sword?"
Jun Wuxie was still thinking about Xiao Tianming's method of borrowing judgment from the heavens.
"It should be able to barely block it, but it cannot completely block it.
He will still be in a passive situation, and it will be difficult to reverse the situation.
However, you cannot kill him; you cannot kill him before your life burns out."
Jun Wuxie: … …
He had to admit this fact.
The price he paid for this duel with Xiao Tianming was too great.
If it weren't for the Spring of Life and the rune tower's extremely strong recovery effect, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
His combat power was obtained by burning his life essence and depleting his lifespan, and could not be sustained for a long time, but Xiao Tianming was not!
"This is the gap in realm; there is no way around it, after all, he has cultivated for much longer than I have."
Jun Wuxie said: "However, his growth intensity is at the peak of the King realm, and I now feel that I seem to have exceeded this level!"
The mysterious woman said with relief: "Well, your flesh and blood have been nourished by the chaotic essence, so naturally there will be some improvement.
You are now at the quasi-ancient level; if you use the invincible sword, you can reach the true ancient level, which is your greatest gain this time.
You must know that breaking through is easy, but improving growth intensity is very difficult."
"What is the ancient level?"
Jun Wuxie was stunned; it was the first time he had heard of such a term as the ancient level.
"Above the King is the Ancient King; as the name suggests, among the many King-level figures throughout the ages, one's talent can be called outstanding."
"Ancient King! This level of title sounds really domineering!"
Jun Wuxie was a little excited in his heart; was he now a quasi-Ancient King?
"Senior, are you at the peak of the Ancient King level?"
He was very curious about which level the mysterious woman's combat power was at the same level.
"Do you look down on me so much?"
The mysterious woman said lightly: "The Ancient King is a talent of the ages to the world, but using it on me is an insult."
Jun Wuxie: … …
"Senior, even the peak of the Ancient King is an insult to you? Can we be a little more low-key? Being so high-profile makes it easy to have no friends; for example, I now feel insulted by you… …"
"It is because your horizons are too low; of course, you are also very weak, and your growth intensity is simply weak."
The mysterious woman ruthlessly打击道: "Since we have talked about it today, I will tell you that above the Ancient King, there is also the Myriad Worlds King, and above the Myriad Worlds King, there is also the Mythical level."
… …
The corners of Jun Wuxie's mouth twitched; there were so many levels and realms behind?
Is there no end?
The King realm was already very terrifying.
How strong was the Ancient King?
He was now at the quasi-ancient level, so naturally he had some understanding.
Then what about the Myriad Worlds level?
What about the Mythical level above the Myriad Worlds level?
Did people of the Mythical level really exist in this world?
Jun Wuxie found it a little difficult to imagine; for example, if he encountered a Mythical-level opponent, what would the scene be like?
"You don't have to think about it; facing a Mythical-level opponent, at the same realm, one can beat you ten thousand times; it is simply not at the same level; the difference is like heaven and earth.
To put it bluntly, in front of a Mythical-level opponent in the same realm, the Ancient King is like an ant."
"Senior, do people like that really exist in this world?"
"Why not? Don't I look like a Mythical level?"
The mysterious woman said lightly.
"You… … you are a Mythical level?"
Jun Wuxie swallowed; this one was actually a Mythical-level ancestor!
The mysterious woman said lightly: "Correct it, it is the myth among myths."
"… …" Jun Wuxie was speechless and said: "Senior, can you be a little more reserved? Is it really good to show off so much?"
"In front of you, do I need to be reserved?"
The mysterious woman's words were plain: "You must remember that you must not be arrogant and complacent just because you have now reached the quasi-ancient level.
There are too many amazing talents in this world that are beyond your imagination.
Just take that Xiao Tianming; do you think he is really just at the peak of the King realm?"
"Isn't he?"
Jun Wuxie was stunned; he was indeed at the peak of the King realm; otherwise, how could he have been suppressed by him in the end?
"The yang energy in his body is deficient, presumably caused by forcibly merging with the Chaotic Origin Bone.
Didn't he go after the Fiery Sun Flower? If he gets the Fiery Sun Flower, he can solve this problem.
At that time, that Xiao Tianming will return to the Ancient King level realm."
"It's okay; just the Ancient King!"
Jun Wuxie was full of confidence and said: "I am only at the Condensing Qi realm now, and I am already at the quasi-ancient level.
When I reach his realm, maybe I will already be at the Mythical level, looking down on the world, invincible in the world!"
The mysterious woman sighed and said: "Go to sleep; you have everything in your dreams."
"… …" Jun Wuxie was speechless, "Senior, do you look down on me so much? Don't I have hope of reaching the Mythical level?"
"It's not that there is no hope, but that you are too ignorant of these things."
The mysterious woman said: "The growth intensity of a cultivator is slowly improved through various ways to stimulate potential and strengthen oneself in the long process of cultivation.
You want to step into the Mythical level in the Grandmaster realm; that is wishful thinking.
If you want to become a myth, you must at least break into the Saint realm."
"Alright, you quickly repair your body and break through your realm by the way.
Next, you should go find the Phoenix Divine Gold; I have already sensed its location, and I will guide you in the direction at that time."
After the mysterious woman finished speaking, she fell silent.
