150: Void-Piercing Slash

Facing Ye Qingyi's inquiry, Bai Zhi nodded without batting an eye.

Ye Qingyi and Shangguan Xinglan exchanged glances, smiling apologetically.

Ghost Granny, however, snorted coldly, "Hmph, that's just great. Killing my capable subordinate and causing me to be hunted down—this isn't over."

"Not over? What's not over?" Ye Qingyi's expression turned cold. "If you dare touch little brother, don't blame me for being merciless."

"Are you afraid I won't?"

Ghost Granny snorted, not backing down in the slightest.

Witnessing this scene, everyone present was secretly astonished, whispering amongst themselves.

Just then, the purple-gold light pillar rapidly retracted into the stele, and a profound aura emanated from the stele.

Everyone's gaze was instantly drawn to it.

The stele shimmered with light, its mysterious runes flowing like living entities.

Immediately after, the profound aura from the stele instantly spread out, enveloping an area of several thousand miles.

But very quickly, it rapidly retracted, lingering within three meters of the stele.

"It's finally open!"

A demon god chuckled, his figure flickering as he instantly appeared beside the stele.

As he raised his hand to touch the stele, a hint of spatial power suddenly emanated from it.

The demon god vanished in an instant.

Witnessing this, Chu Yuan looked surprised, but then he heard Shangguan Xinglan explain:

"We once speculated that this isn't the main body of the Legacy Stele, so the Comprehension Ability isn't here, but in a different space."

"When you go in later, don't be surprised; just comprehend it normally."

Hearing this, Chu Yuan nodded slightly, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

As the first person entered, others were not to be outdone, rushing towards the portal.

Chu Yuan stepped forward, raised his hand and touched the stele, wondering if he could store it in his primal origin space.

But the result... naturally, it was impossible!

As a wave of spatial power swept over him, Chu Yuan only felt his vision blur, and he found himself in a space where he couldn't see his own hand.

And before him, a miniature Legacy Stele, only palm-sized, glowed faintly, suspended quietly.

Chu Yuan activated his Divine Thought, trying to perceive his surroundings, but unfortunately... he couldn't!

The space was still pitch black, where he couldn't see his own hand. Besides the stele, he couldn't see or perceive anything else.

Seeing this, Chu Yuan temporarily gave up.

He raised his hand, wanting to try and collect the stele, but discovered a strange problem.

The stele was clearly right in front of him, yet he couldn't touch it at all, as if it wasn't in the same space as him.

"The idea of taking everything is completely dashed!"

Chu Yuan muttered, no longer thinking about it.

He sat cross-legged, his gaze fixed on the stele before him, but he wasn't in a hurry to comprehend it.

"Two years have passed. I wonder how much source primordial power I've accumulated. I'll raise my Comprehension Ability first!"

Thinking this, his figure flickered, disappearing into the dark space.

A moment later, he returned, but the dark space remained unchanged.

The stele was still before him.

At this moment, his Comprehension Ability was clearly:

"Comprehension Ability: 100 (Divine)"

He had wanted to push it all the way up, to see if Saint-Grade was above Divine-Grade, but unfortunately, he didn't have enough source primordial power.

"Let me try it!"

Chu Yuan muttered, his gaze fixed on the runes on the stele before him, fully immersing himself in comprehending them.

Initially, he found the mysterious runes obscure and difficult to understand, like an undecipherable text.

But as time passed, relying on his Divine-Grade Comprehension Ability, he gradually grasped a trace of their structure.

The runes seemed to come alive, constantly intertwining and reorganizing in his mind, forming strange images.

Time quietly slipped away.

Chu Yuan's eyes were slightly closed, but his figure flickered continuously in the dark space.

In the space, sword light continuously flashed, eventually returning to darkness.

At a certain moment, Chu Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, a flicker of essence light flashing through them.

"A sword Spirit Skill?"

"I just don't know what grade it is?"

Chu Yuan muttered, a hint of joy in his eyes.

With a thought, a wisp of his consciousness entered the primal origin space, looking at the attribute light screen.

In the Spirit Skill column, a new Spirit Skill had appeared:

"Spirit Skill: ...Unnamed (Divine-Grade · Beginner)"

"No name?"

Chu Yuan stroked his chin, "Although this sword Spirit Skill only has one move, it is mysterious and unpredictable, constantly changing, seemingly capable of slicing through time and space!"

"Let's call it... Void Breaking Slash!"

"Slicing through everything, slaying all invading enemies, slaying all evildoers, shattering all things unfavorable to me!"

As Chu Yuan's voice fell, the text on the light screen rapidly changed, instantly becoming:

Void Breaking Slash (Divine-Grade · Beginner)

Chu Yuan smiled contentedly, then looked up at the stele before him.

"Eh?"

"I've already comprehended a Spirit Skill, and it's not over yet?"

He exclaimed in surprise, his expression showing a hint of astonishment. Could Gui Yuling's words have been wrong?

He shook his head and smiled, "Since it's not over, then I'll continue to try!"

Chu Yuan once again concentrated, his gaze fixed on the runes on the stele.

Attempting to comprehend a brand new Spirit Skill... The runes flickered faster, and the mysterious aura grew stronger. Chu Yuan once again fell into that strange feeling.

This time, he felt his blood boiling, and his strength actually increased steadily.

As he delved deeper into comprehension, new images formed by runes appeared in his mind.

And on his body, a mysterious change was occurring, his strength seemed to be increasing.

But this increase was somewhat ethereal, as if it could disappear at any moment.

At a certain moment.

Chu Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, a rich look of joy flashing through them.

"Enhancement?!"

He muttered, just about to check the status of this Spirit Skill, when he felt his vision blur.

"Chu Yuan, are you alright!"

As Chu Yuan opened his eyes, he fell into a soft embrace, his heart startled.

A special fragrance wafted over, letting him know who was holding him!

He looked up to see Shangguan Xinglan's face slightly flushed. "Alright, since you're fine, fly on your own!"

Chu Yuan took a light sniff and quickly pulled away from her embrace. "Thank you, Revered Master!"

"Little brother!"

"Chu Yuan!"

Two voices rang out consecutively, and Chu Yuan's arms entered a soft embrace.

Seeing Ye Qingyi and Bai Zhi holding his arms on either side, Chu Yuan couldn't help but smile slightly and ask, "How were your gains?"

"Not bad!"

Bai Zhi's eyes curved, and she chuckled, "I comprehended a pretty good offensive Spirit Skill!"

Ye Qingyi echoed, "Me too, but what I comprehended was a Divine Thought offensive Spirit Skill!"

"That's great!"

Chu Yuan chuckled.

Ye Qingyi blinked, asking with a slight hesitation, "Little brother, did you gain anything?"

Bai Zhi and the others all looked over.

Chu Yuan chuckled, "It's an offensive Spirit Skill, but its grade isn't high!"

Hearing this, the three of them looked slightly serious, all thinking that Chu Yuan's gains were not good, perhaps he hadn't even comprehended a Heaven-Rank Spirit Technique.

Shangguan Xinglan patted his shoulder, comforting him, "Don't be discouraged. Your strength isn't high, so the grade of the Spirit Skill you comprehended wouldn't be too high either, but it's the most suitable for you."

"When your strength increases later, perhaps you can continue to improve the Spirit Skill."

"Or, the next time the Jade Void Secret Realm opens, and you encounter the jade void inheritance stele again, you can use it to continue perfecting this Spirit Skill."

Chu Yuan looked up at her, a hint of surprise flashing deep in his eyes.
