197: Chapter 197 Mo Shi: Sincerity for Sincerity

Chi Anlin quickly reached the two-hundredth floor. At this point, his War Body awakening level had increased by five percent, and even his Great Dao of the True Self had reached 20%.

As for Gluttony, it had successfully broken through to the Second Realm. Chi Anlin estimated that by the time he could contract Gluttony, it would likely be at about the same realm as Xiao Yue.

Looking around, there was no one else on the two-hundredth floor. Chi Anlin thought for a moment, then took an Earth Rank longsword from his space ring and fed it to Gluttony.

Although Gluttony had increased its realm, its combat power was still mediocre because it hadn't devoured anything yet. The pressure here was perfect for helping Gluttony digest quickly, and taking this opportunity, he could also let Gluttony comprehend an additional Sword Intent.

Afterward, Chi Anlin also fed Gluttony several monster corpses. These monsters were all of the Third Realm, which was enough for Gluttony to digest for a while.

By now, Gluttony was already taller than Chi Anlin's legs. Chi Anlin patted Gluttony's head, told it to continue moving forward, and then sat down to regulate his breath.

The further up one went, the fewer people there were. Many people below were crawling on the ground, unwilling to give up, trying to reach the next step.

Chi Anlin shook his head. If this were his past life, there might be the saying that diligence can make up for a lack of talent, but in this world, talent determined everything.

Some people worked themselves to death, wandering on the edge of death day and night, living a life of licking blood off the edge of a blade, yet from beginning to end, they could never break through to a higher realm.

Yet for a War Body, one didn't even need to cultivate much to far surpass others and reach a realm that many people would have to look up to for their entire lives.

Perhaps this was just like his past life; for many, if you weren't born with a house, you basically had no chance of owning one in this lifetime.

A flash of emotion passed through his eyes. Chi Anlin sighed and turned back to continue walking forward.

Since he had been reborn and had the opportunity, he also wanted to see the scenery from higher up.

On the two-hundredth floor, Chi Anlin's speed had slowed down. Although it wasn't very strenuous, if he kept crossing steps quickly, he would eventually face exhaustion later on.

After a few minutes, Chi Anlin arrived at the two hundred and tenth floor. On the Tongtian Road, every step was a long distance away, which was why the people below were crawling.

On the two hundred and tenth floor, Xiao Yue was cultivating with its eyes closed. This was its sixth time tempering its spiritual power, and Xiao Yue's combat power had reached 3020.

If converted into realms, Xiao Yue should be able to defeat an ordinary Third Realm Third Stage Cultivator, especially since it still had the 【Battle Intent】 skill at its disposal.

Chi Anlin sat cross-legged, absorbing the feedback from the Tongtian Road. Every thirty floors, the feedback provided by the Tongtian Road could allow one to rapidly increase their strength. The feedback here was not just spiritual power, but something even purer than spiritual power.

Feeling this energy entering his body, Chi Anlin's body was constantly being tempered. The 《Nine Stages of Heavenly Thunder》 had already been cultivated to the fifth stage. Now, Chi Anlin could do battle with a Third Realm Cultivator based on his physical body alone.

This time, Chi Anlin cultivated for a full five hours.

Opening his eyes, a flash of bright light passed through them. Chi Anlin slowly stood up, his body making a sound like popping beans.

Using his spiritual power to look within, Chi Anlin discovered that his blood had gradually undergone some changes. Each drop of blood contained a massive amount of spiritual power; even just a drop of blood falling could cause a small pit to appear in the ground.

This was only because his physical body had reached the Third Realm. If he were a Monarch, he would not only be able to regenerate from a drop of blood, but he could even destroy mountain peaks with his blood.

The cultivation world was just absurd. Thinking back to that battle of the Heaven Rank Expert, it was like a nuclear bomb carpet-bombing the area; just the aftershocks destroyed half of Zhao County. If they had attacked with full force...

Chi Anlin was looking forward to the subsequent cultivation more and more; there was nothing more satisfying than feeling oneself becoming stronger.

His realm increased again, reaching the Second Realm Eighth Stage. He only needed to break through one more stage before he, too, would have to start tempering his spiritual power.

The energy he used to break through was enough to allow an average cultivator to break through to the middle stage of the Third Realm. If not for the Tongtian Road, Chi Anlin wouldn't be confident about how long it would take for him to temper his spiritual power.

After all, the amount of spiritual power he had now was already ridiculously high.

Compared to him, Xiao Xing's walking speed was much slower. To prevent the ink illusion from being unable to keep up with his speed, Chi Anlin tied the ink illusion to Xiao Xing's waist.

Afterward, he continued walking forward. After crossing a few more steps, Chi Anlin saw someone sitting cross-legged and cultivating.

Feeling Chi Anlin's arrival, he opened his eyes: "Chi Anlin?"

Chi Anlin glanced at him; he hadn't seen this person before.

Once on the Tongtian Road, these people became exceptionally taciturn. For many, just persisting was already very strenuous, so naturally, they had no energy left to converse with others.

Mo Shi looked at Chi Anlin and smiled: "Brother Chi, associating with that trash Mo Yu is really beneath your status."

Chi Anlin looked at Mo Shi thoughtfully. So, he was from the Mo family...

A member of the Mo family dared to talk to him so brazenly. It was a pity that it wasn't convenient to make a move on the Tongtian Road, otherwise, Chi Anlin would have wanted to feed him directly to Gluttony.

【Name】: Mo Shi

【Realm】: Third Realm Second Stage

【Profession】: Body Cultivator

【Combat Power】: 2666

Thinking for a moment, Chi Anlin pretended to be angry and said: "How dare you insult my brother Mo Yu? It is only because we are on the Tongtian Road; otherwise, the spirit wine Mo Yu gave me would be the price for your life!"

Mo Shi was stunned. Spirit wine?

He was not from the Military University; he only knew that Chi Anlin was the Phoenix Fire Emperor's disciple and had connections with Mo Yu. Could it be that Mo Yu had gotten close to Chi Anlin relying on spirit wine?

Thinking that the trash Mo Yu only knew how to drink every day, it wasn't strange that he could find fine wine.

"Brother Chi is joking. It's just spirit wine; what kind of good wine could Mo Yu possibly have! After we leave the Heavenly Tomb, I will bring Brother Chi a few jugs of Heaven Rank fine wine!"

Chi Anlin was the Phoenix Fire Emperor's disciple. If he could be won over, what was some Heaven Rank spirit wine? The rewards from his family were worth far more than that!

It was only because he didn't have any on him right now; otherwise, he would have handed it to Chi Anlin long ago.

A look of hesitation appeared on Chi Anlin's face, and then, as if he had made up his mind, he said: "Good! Then where will you give it to me?"

Mo Shi had never imagined that Chi Anlin already harbored murderous intent toward him. After all, to offend a colossus like the Mo family for a friend he had just met—even if he racked his brains, he would never have thought such a situation could happen.

Moreover, he was at the Third Realm level; there was no way Chi Anlin, a freshman who had just entered the university, could pose a threat to him.

Soon, Mo Shi was truly addressing Chi Anlin as a brother, appearing as if they had met too late.

Finally, he told Chi Anlin about a place in the Golden Horn Realm—the very strange lake that Chi Anlin had previously planned to visit—intending to give the fine wine to Chi Anlin there.

Once he befriended Chi Anlin, he would not only gain many benefits but also receive praise from Young Master Wentian.

Chi Anlin nodded with satisfaction and then left.

He didn't know how this guy had cultivated to this realm. He just hoped this guy wouldn't go back and talk nonsense, otherwise, he might really not have the chance to catch him.
