38: Is Earth experiencing a spiritual revival?

Seeing White Ember hesitate and not dare to act, Dawn Moon deliberately provoked him.

"White Ember, what are you still waiting for? Do you want to be a coward your whole life!"

No! I am not a coward! I am not!

White Ember's body was completely Corrupted, his hands twisted and deformed, turning into a pair of ferocious, monstrous claws, his arms covered in black scales.

Dawn Moon didn't hesitate at all. She grabbed White Ember's monstrous claw and plunged it fiercely into her own heart.

The moment the monstrous claw pierced through her flesh, a torrent of violent Corruption energy surged into her body like a breached dam.

"Ah—!" Dawn Moon let out a heart-wrenching scream.

The energy was like ten thousand venomous insects, madly gnawing at her blood vessels.

Her skin cracked, and dark red patterns spread across her entire body like a spiderweb.

The intense pain made her fall to her knees, her fingers digging deep into the ground.

"Saintess!" White Ember's eyes were bloodshot as he tightly hugged Dawn Moon, trying to alleviate her pain.

Nine dark red, barbed tail-blades burst out from Dawn Moon's back, thrashing wildly in the air.

Dawn Moon's consciousness began to blur, her pupils being consumed by darkness.

Just as she was about to completely fall, the Purification potion she had taken earlier finally took effect.

Golden light erupted from her heart, intertwining with the Corruption energy.

Her originally pitch-black pupils had already transformed into two blood-red moons.

The nine tail-blades slowly retracted, like sleeping venomous snakes.

"It worked..." Dawn Moon caressed the wound on her heart, a crazy smile playing on her lips.

She could feel the surging power within her, a power capable of destroying everything: "Scorching Sun, your doomsday has arrived."

Ruthless, too ruthless. Lu Chen couldn't help but give Dawn Moon the title of Chosen One; her story was much more exciting!

She should be the protagonist.

But thinking about it, forget it. Dawn Moon and White Ember were already bound, so the reward settlement should be the same. No need to waste it.

A sharp pain shot through his eyes, and suddenly, Lu Chen opened them.

The morning sun had already risen. Lu Chen then realized that he had actually slept on a mountain in the wilderness for an entire night.

And it was in his sleep that he observed the Small World.

It seemed this was a Heavenly Dao Level 4 ability, allowing Lu Chen to observe even while sleeping, and the flow of time could be freely altered.

Ah! A stretch! So comfortable!

Feeling hungry, Lu Chen quickly went down the mountain. Otherwise, if the mountain was so severely damaged and he was discovered, it would be difficult to explain... Wudang Mountain, Zixiao Palace Rear Hall.

Fifteen-year-old Zhang Qingyu held a broom, looking at the faint golden Qi current in his palm, wondering if he was hallucinating.

Just now, he had merely followed the diagrams in the "Tai Chi Qi Scripture" three times as usual, and had actually condensed a wisp of Spiritual Qi in his palm.

"Idiot, pretending again?" Senior Brother Zhao Kang passed by, kicking over his broom, "Who believes in this stuff in modern society? Do you really think Cultivating can lead to Immortal Ascension?"

The surrounding Disciples burst into laughter. Someone raised their phone to record, and in the camera, Zhang Qingyu, wearing a patched Daoist robe, looked particularly disheveled.

Zhang Qingyu didn't argue, silently picking up the broom.

He was an orphan picked up by the Sect Head at the foot of the mountain fourteen years ago. He grew up listening to the legends of Zhang Sanfeng. Others laughed at his dullness, but he had memorized the ancient texts in the Scripture Pavilion by heart.

Zhang Qingyu ignored everyone, instead feeling the energy in his palm and, following the posture of Tai Chi Palm, struck out into the air!

"Bang—"

The Qi current in his palm materialized, shattering the incense table a meter away.

Amidst the cracking sound, the Sect Head, who was transcribing scriptures, his hand trembled and he roared in anger: "Who dares to disturb my scripture transcription... Heavens, heavens!!!"

The Sect Head scrambled over, grabbing Zhang Qingyu's wrist, "Was that Tai Chi Palm you just used? In the more than 600 years since our Wudang was established, besides Ancestral Master Zhang Sanfeng, no second person has ever displayed it!"

The laughter of the surrounding Disciples came to an abrupt halt.

Zhao Kang's phone "clattered" to the ground. In the camera, the faint golden Qi current in Zhang Qingyu's palm was steadily rising.

"Since Ancestral Master's passing, China has not seen Spiritual Qi for a thousand years..." The Sect Head's voice trembled, and he suddenly bowed deeply to Zhang Qingyu, "Could it be that you are the Ancestral Master's Reincarnation!!!"

Other Disciples spoke sarcastically: "What's so great? This is the 21st century. Never mind Qi Refining First Layer, even a Golden Core wouldn't be able to stop a missile."

"Shut up!" The Sect Head angrily rebuked, "From today onwards, Zhang Qingyu is Wudang's 'True Lord,' with status equal to mine! You shall treat the True Lord as you would me, the Sect Head. Any disrespect—you will be expelled from Wudang!"

Zhang Qingyu was arranged into the "Chunyang Palace" next to the Ancestral Master Hall. Hundred-year-old sandalwood incense drifted from the gilded censer. Zhang Qingyu was overjoyed. From an orphan, he had actually become Wudang's True Lord. Am I really a chosen one!!!

Ancestral Master Zhang Sanfeng! I will definitely take you as my goal, Cultivate diligently! And make Wudang flourish!!

The next day, Zixiao Palace Square.

Hundreds of Wudang Disciples were displeased and listless.

Zhang Qingyu was entrusted with a heavy responsibility by the Sect Head to teach everyone how to Cultivate the "Tai Chi Qi Scripture."

Zhao Kang secretly took out his phone to livestream, with the title—Livestreaming Immortal Cultivation.

As the camera swept over Zhang Qingyu, the bullet comments furiously scrolled:

[Is this kid the Sect Head?]

[Pretending, Wudang probably doesn't have enough funds, trying to scam money]

[Brothers, quickly look at the female Daoist in the first row, second from the left, her Daoist robe is so white and big]

Zhang Qingyu saw that everyone was uncooperative.

He struck out with a palm in the air, and the stone lion shattered.

Boom!

The entire scene was shocked.

The livestream exploded.

[What the hell? What just happened? Are they really Cultivating Immortals?]

[Come on, it must be special effects. Wudang Mountain is actually playing this kind of low-level money-making trick]

...Lu Chen finished breakfast and brought a portion for his parents.

His parents hadn't slept all night. In such an unfamiliar environment, a clean room, they simply couldn't get used to sleeping.

They finally fell asleep with difficulty in the morning, so Lu Chen didn't disturb them and returned to his own room.

Bored, he opened his phone to check the trending topics.

He happened to see the Wudang Immortal Cultivation livestream.

Lu Chen sneered, Immortal Cultivation?

No one understands Immortal Cultivation better than me! This is clearly some abstract performance!

He clicked in to watch.

He happened to see Zhang Qingyu circulate the Tai Chi Qi Scripture and shatter a stone lion with a palm strike.

What the hell??

Lu Chen's eyes widened. He was really Cultivating.

Others might think it was special effects, but as a Soul Transformation, Lu Chen could tell at a glance that this person named Zhang Qingyu was truly Cultivating, and he should have reached Qi Refining First Layer.

Combined with recent reports of anomalies around the world.

Lu Chen could confirm that due to his own Soul Transformation Cultivation in the Small World, the Spiritual Qi on Earth was gradually recovering.

This is great! Spiritual Qi has finally recovered!!

Lu Chen sat cross-legged, opening the Small World. Spiritual Qi, visible only to him, was slowly flowing into his body from the Small World.

Circulating the "Six Paths Chaotic Heaven Art," his body's Qi flowed, and spiritual power surged endlessly through his meridians.

Suddenly, a crisp cracking sound came from within his body!

"Boom—"

A majestic aura erupted. Lu Chen suddenly opened his eyes, a sharp glint flickering within them.

Soul Transformation Perfection! Breakthrough! Soul Transformation First Revolution!!

Lu Chen did not Undergo Tribulation, but instead re-Cultivated from Qi Refining, reaching Soul Transformation First Revolution.

This was equivalent to him possessing twice his previous strength.

Continue!!

Soul Transformation Second Revolution! Third Revolution!

Tenth Revolution!!

Awesome!

He re-Cultivated ten times in one go! His entire Qi Sea Dantian expanded by more than a hundredfold!

[Prompt: Based on the current Spiritual Qi concentration on Earth, the host can safely ascend to the Undergoing Tribulation Stage. Do you wish to ascend?]

Ascend my ass!!

I'm not stupid!!

On the surface, Lu Chen was in the Soul Transformation Stage, but in reality, he was in the Ascension Realm, just that the System had capped his Realm.

Therefore, he had no Bottleneck in his Cultivation; Breakthrough was as easy as drinking water.

This was equivalent to a BUG!!

Once he ascended, he might not be able to Breakthrough so easily.

Lu Chen had to seize the time to Cultivate. Soul Transformation One Hundred Thousand Revolutions was not a dream!!

He couldn't imagine how terrifying he would be if he could re-Cultivate one hundred thousand times!!

Beep beep beep!

The phone rang. It was Lin Fei again.

Did this kid like him? He always liked to call him.

On the other end of the phone, Lin Fei was incoherently excited: "Lu Chen! I found it! I found Spiritual Qi! At the Great Wall, I can actually see the phantom of the Great Qin Empire I Transmigrated to, I see my colleague Li Bing, I see the heroic posture of Emperor Qin. I have a premonition that Emperor Qin is not dead, Great Qin has not perished. As long as I find a way to Cultivate to the God-Man Realm and master the Law of time, I might be able to reverse time and revive Great Qin."

Pfft!!

Lu Chen couldn't help but laugh out loud.

God-Man Realm!

Lin Fei really dared to dream!

"What are you laughing at? Don't you believe me?"

Lu Chen stifled his laughter: "I believe you, I believe you. Lin Fei, you are the most amazing person in my heart."

Lin Fei said proudly: "You should come over too. We can Cultivate together; at least we'll have company!"

Lu Chen quirked his mouth: "Don't worry, I'll come find you eventually!!"
