Hearing the deep and ancient aura that appeared in his mind, along with the presence that now resided within his body, Xiao Chong felt a surge of joy.
"...this...could it really be that thing?"
The Primordial Origin Qi, to be precise, was a guiding force from the higher realms of the Great Thousand Worlds. Absorbing it after reaching the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Saint level could potentially lead to a breakthrough to the Dou Di realm.
In the original story, this was something that could almost alter the course of events.
Who would have thought that in the original Dou Qi Continent, besides gathering the ancient jade to open the Ancient Dou Di Cave, one could also obtain the Primordial Origin Qi through this method?
However, considering the strength and enforcement of the sealed space itself, it was likely that even a Dou Di would find it difficult to enter. If it weren't for the fact that he had randomly used a meteorite to smash through and accidentally uncovered it, he would never have discovered this treasure.
Looking at the Origin Qi that now appeared in his mind, Xiao Chong was already thinking about how to absorb it later.
The problem was that his current strength hadn't yet reached the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Saint level, so he couldn't absorb it just yet.
Of course, with his innate talent, it was only a matter of time. With this Primordial Origin Qi, he wouldn't need to absorb something like the Emperor Pill or inherit the legacy of a Dou Di ancestor in the future.
With this aura, his future breakthrough to the Dou Di realm would be much smoother.
Moreover, besides this Primordial Origin Qi, Xiao Chong could also feel that the energy within his body was already incredibly abundant.
Those were the insights and breakthroughs he had gained after a fierce and exhilarating battle.
Although absorbing it might take a few days, once he finished, it would likely be equivalent to a long period of cultivation.
Coincidentally, after that battle, he had already reached the peak of the One-Star Dou zun level. Now its time to break through.
With his heaven-defying talent, the speed of his breakthrough would undoubtedly be extraordinary. However, Xiao Chong naturally intended to suppress it somewhat, keeping it at a level where he could remain in control.
He couldn't let the sudden surge of energy inflate his ego, or else no matter how high his talent, he would eventually stagnate.
And so, Xiao Chong fell silent as if he was lying on something soft, and he began his cultivation.
Unbeknownst to Xiao Chong, the room he was currently resting and sleeping in was Princess Yao Ye's room.
Regarding where Xiao Chong should sleep, Yao Ye had even argued with Nalan Yanran.
Nalan Yanran believed that Xiao Chong should be taken to the Yunlan Sect, where he could receive treatment from Pill King Gu He.
Since they were currently at the Yellow Stone Fortress, which was now the gathering place for all the strong experts of the Jia Ma Empire, the treatment there would undoubtedly be the most effective.
Yao Ye, on the other hand, argued that Xiao Chong was a benefactor to all of them, and since he was now recovering and cultivating, it wouldn't be convenient to move him.
In the end, Yao Ye, being a few years older than Nalan Yanran and more articulate, won the argument. However, what she said was indeed correct.
After all, she was the princess of the Jia Ma Empire and its future empress. Her resting room at the Yellow Stone Fortress was naturally the most comfortable and luxurious.
...
Soon, five days passed.
During these five days, Xiao Chong hadn't emerged, and many people began to show signs of worry on their faces.
However, Yao Ye had initially intended to take a look but was immediately repelled by the Dou Zun level aura emanating from Xiao Chong, who was in the midst of a breakthrough. She decided not to disturb him either.
At the Yellow Stone Fortress, most of the strong individuals had also left within these five days. They would inevitably spread the news of what had happened here.
Fa ma, the president of the Alchemist Guild, had also departed.
After all, Xiao Chong making it clear that he was not an alchemist. For Fa ma, the situation was ultimately a bit awkward. Unfortunately, he was unaware that Xiao Chong had now already comprehended the Dao of the Alchemy Cauldron.
As for those who wished to befriend Xiao Chong or had some connection with him, naturally, they had not left yet.
Especially Qing Lin, who gazed at Xiao Chong's room with longing eyes every day, which in turn attracted the envy of the surrounding strong individuals.
This little girl is really lucky to have become Xiao Chong's maid.
If one could have a relationship with him, even being a maid would be fine.
....
Inside the room, Xiao Chong's aura gradually stabilized, and he finally opened his eyes.
"Not bad...Three-Star Dou Zun. After unleashing the bloodline mark, I should be able to touch the level of a Five-Star Dou Zun."
Indeed, the later stages of cultivation become slower... Well, taking one step at a time feels more solid.
Feeling the power coursing through his arms, Xiao Chong was quite satisfied.
With his extraordinary comprehension, he had indeed managed to break through significantly in one go.
Taking advantage of the lingering sensation of enlightenment in his mind, Xiao Chong continued to sit cross-legged in the room, resuming his cultivation.
But at the same moment, Xiao Chong woke up because a palm imprint suddenly struck the wall of the Yellow Stone Fortress.
Instantly, the wall of the Yellow Stone Fortress shook violently, and the central gate collapsed. A massive poisonous palm imprint appeared on the wall.
"Children of the Jia Ma Empire, come out and meet your elders!"
"Xie Bi Yan! You old scoundrel! You fled in disgrace that day, and it was only by Mr. Xiao Chong's mercy that you were spared. How dare you show your face again?!"
Immediately, the three remaining Dou Huang experts of the Yellow Stone Fortress flew out—Jia Xing Tian, Hai Bodong, and Yun Yun.
The others who had not yet left the fortress quickly emerged, casting hostile glances at the old Dou Zong in the sky.
The hunched old Dou Zong standing in the sky was none other than Xie Bi Yan, who had fled during his battle with Xiao Chong.
Originally, given his cowardice, he had almost wanted to flee to the Chu Yun Empire upon learning of Xiao Chong's prowess in the Jia Ma Empire.
But then he heard that after the battle that day, Xiao Chong seemed to have fought some strange creature underground and had not appeared in public since.
This...was simply a golden opportunity!
As long as Xiao Chong was not around, he had a chance to seek revenge! Previously, he had fled in disgrace in front of the strong individuals of the Jia Ma Empire, which was utterly humiliating! If he couldn't defeat Xiao Chong, couldn't he at least bully the people of the Jia Ma Empire?!
At that moment, hearing Jia Xing Tian mention Xiao Chong's name again, Xie Bi Yan couldn't help but laugh.
"What's the matter? Has your Jia Ma Empire already fallen apart now that your esteemed Xiao Chong is no longer here?"
"Haha...although I am alone, but I, Xie Bi Yan, am far more than capable of dealing with all of you by myself!"
Upon hearing this, Nalan Yanran on the fortress was disgusted by the old man's shamelessness and angrily retorted, "You despicable and shameless old man!"
