2: Chapter 2 Rewards, Chaotic Body

At this moment, Fairy Zixia, who was born in harmony with the Dao, could no longer remain calm; her pupils contracted violently as she extended her hands to push Lin Bei away.

"Seeking death!" the three elders were furious.

Below the stage, it was as if countless hearts shattered at once.

"Heavens! Someone has defiled my goddess?!"

"Goddess, why didn't you stop him?!"

"A mere Qi Refining Early Stage Cultivator, how is this possible?"

...

Among them, some discordant voices were mixed in.

"A role model for our generation, I want to acknowledge him as my big brother!"

"Big brother, go in peace!"

"Get down, let me go up instead!"

...

Everything happened in an instant, and then Lin Bei was submerged by countless techniques, not even leaving behind ashes.

The yellow-robed Daoist's Face turned ashen, and he slumped to the ground, knowing he was finished.

Lin Bei was the Utility Disciple he had brought; with such an incident occurring, he could not escape responsibility.

The facts were indeed as he had thought; before long, an angry elder struck him into ashes with a single palm.

"Lin Bei, if you wanted to die, why did you have to drag me into it?!" This was the yellow-robed Daoist's final wail.

"Heh, foolish to the extreme!" the elder said with disdain, for he did not believe that someone capable of resisting the combined power of the three of them and leaping onto the high stage was truly just some peripheral Disciple.

"It must be a hostile force intentionally here to humiliate our Holy Land! I don't know if it was someone from the Yinyue Dynasty or the Yao Race, sigh! Careless, I was too careless!"

The commotion lasted for a long time before finally calming down under the powerful deterrence of the three elders.

"Everyone! This outside bandit deliberately caused our Holy Land to lose Face; I hope you all will not go out and spread this about..." an elder spoke loudly.

He sighed in his heart, knowing that saying this was just for comfort; it was impossible to seal the mouths of these people.

With such a thing happening, the ceremony could only end hastily.

The crowd dispersed, and along with them, the legend of a peripheral Disciple who risked his life for a taste of beauty also spread.

One day later.

In a forest more than three thousand miles southeast of the Purple Mansion Holy Land.

A figure condensed out of thin air.

After Lin Bei appeared, he immediately checked his cultivation.

Qi Refining Middle Stage! It really had improved by a small Realm.

On the Desolate Ancient Continent, cultivation is divided into nine major Realms: Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Void Soaring, Spirit Refining, Dao Integration, Dragon Transformation, Saint, Great Saint, and Great Emperor, with each major Realm divided into four small Realms: Early Stage, Middle Stage, Late Stage, and Peak.

"Does this mean that if I just die thirty times, I can become a Great Emperor? A being standing at the Peak of the Desolate Ancient Continent?"

Lin Bei thought excitedly.

Suddenly, a series of System prompts rang out.

"Ding! Host has successfully courted death! Congratulations on obtaining the reward: Portable Space!"

"Congratulations on obtaining the reward: dao seed * 10!"

"Congratulations on obtaining the reward: Chaos Body!"

"Ding! Please note, Host, the cooldown time for this courting of death is one day!"

In an instant, Lin Bei only felt his body being torn apart, then reconstructed, torn apart again, and reconstructed again...

The strange thing was that this process did not cause him any pain at all.

After a thousand times, Lin Bei's body finally stabilized, and at a glance, there was nothing extraordinary about it.

However, some information inexplicably appeared in his mind.

Chaos Body First Stage Form: Combat power increased by a hundred times, damage received weakened by ninety percent.

Lin Bei: "⊙▽⊙! Does it have to be so exaggerated?"

He asked cautiously, "System, is this the reward that should come with a legendary-level courting of death?"

"Of course not! Didn't I say before that after the first courting of death, the reward is upgraded by one tier! This System always keeps its word! This is a reward that can only be obtained after an epic-level courting of death!"

The System answered quite smugly.

Only then did Lin Bei breathe a sigh of relief; otherwise, he would definitely have had to eat shit to feel at ease.

Right! There are other rewards!

With a thought, his figure disappeared.

The next moment, he appeared in another space.

The Portable Space was more like another real Small World; except for living beings, it had everything.

Lin Bei looked intently and saw ten clusters of cyan light floating in the sky.

With a wave of his hand, a cluster of cyan light flew over and landed in his palm.

dao seed: After Fusion with a common Physique, it can transform into an Innate Dao Body.

Lin Bei's hand trembled, and the light cluster almost fell to the ground.

Just this thing? One of these can create an Innate Dao Body like the Zifu Holy Maiden?

Of course, it is also possible that they are different.

He currently has no friends in this world, so naturally, he cannot easily find someone to experiment on.

As for himself, there is even less need; an Innate Dao Body can exert more than ten times the combat power of the same Realm, while the Chaos Body First Stage Form can already exert a hundred times the combat power.

Which is higher and which is lower is clear at a glance.

Leaving the Portable Space, Lin Bei identified the direction and headed straight into the distance.

Not long after, the space in this forest distorted, and a middle-aged man appeared out of thin air.

The man was dressed in a purple robe, and an aura of nobility and majesty was fully displayed.

He frowned and scanned his surroundings, "The Chaos aura here is so dense; could it be that some Chaos treasure has just been born?"

The man closed his eyes and calculated with his fingers for a while.

A moment later, his brows furrowed even deeper.

"The heavenly secrets are chaotic, and there is no way to calculate them! However, this further proves that there really was someone not weaker than me who just took a Chaos treasure from here!"

"First the Holy Maiden was attacked, and now an unidentified Saint-level figure has appeared; it seems my Purple Mansion Holy Land is no longer peaceful!"

Lin Bei naturally did not know about this; at this moment, he had already arrived at the nearby Qingyang County.

Currently, his cultivation was too weak; even with the Chaos Body bonus, there were still many people who could easily kill him.

During the System's cooldown time, it was safer to stay in the city.

Lin Bei sat in a restaurant, ordered a few side dishes, and was sipping wine.

Suddenly, a burst of noisy voices came out.

"Explosive news! Young Miss Yan Ran of the Yan Family has gone to the Xiao Family to call off the engagement!"

"Hurry, hurry, hurry, go to the Xiao Family, there's a good show to watch!"

"Let's go, let's go, let's go together..."

In an instant, only Lin Bei and a few elderly men remained in the restaurant.

One of the elderly men shook his head and sighed, "The Xiao Family is truly having a run of bad luck; they have really lost a lot of Face this time!"

Lin Bei picked up the wine pot and approached, filling the old man's cup, "Old man, I don't know how the Xiao Family is having such bad luck?"

The old man glanced at him and chuckled, "Little brother, you're from out of town, aren't you? The Xiao Family and the Yan Family are the most famous cultivation Families in this Qingyang County; the locals all know about this."

"The current head of the Xiao Family has an only son named Xiao Yan!"

"This Xiao Yan showed extremely high cultivation talent from a young age; by the age of seventeen, he had broken into the Void Soaring Realm, which was truly astonishing, not much worse than the Genius Disciples cultivated by those Peak forces."

"The Yan Family saw this situation and spent a lot of effort, eventually having Young Miss Yan Ran of the Yan Family set an engagement with Xiao Yan."

"Who would have known that when Xiao Yan was eighteen, a change occurred; his cultivation began to stagnate, and later even began to regress. Now at twenty, his cultivation has already fallen to the Foundation Establishment Early Stage! How sad and lamentable!"

"Eh? Eh? Little brother, why did you run away? I haven't finished yet!"

How could Lin Bei still have the heart to keep listening!

Isn't this the absolute protagonist? If I don't go and court death at this time, how could I live up to my System?
