132: Chapter 132 Refining the Primordial Yin, Entering the Spiritual Sea

[The next day, when Chu Sheng emerged from the main hall, his legs were weak.]

[He leaned against the doorframe, taking three seconds to steady himself. He took a deep breath, sensed the cultivation within his body, and was stunned.]

[The Bottleneck from the Late Stage of True Transformation Realm to the Spirit Spring felt as if it had been cracked open by a hammer.]

[The True Essence in his Dantian was nearly thirty percent thicker than yesterday, and the power flowing through his Meridians carried a chilling coldness—it was Yu Rumeng's primal yin.]

[He glanced back at the woman leaning against the doorway.]

[Yu Rumeng wore a loose nightgown with an open collar, revealing a section of her fair collarbone. She looked at him lazily, like a satiated cat.]

["Not bad, stronger than Big Sister expected. However—"]

[She stretched, her curves fully on display. "Hurry up and refine the gains Big Sister has accumulated over all these years. Don't let them go to waste."]

[Chu Sheng nodded and was about to leave when Yu Rumeng suddenly called out to him, her lips curling into an arc.]

["Since you've become Big Sister's slave, come here and lick Big Sister's feet."]

[Chu Sheng's face turned green: "In your dreams!"]

[As soon as the words left his mouth, an invisible force spread from Yu Rumeng's body like an unseen chain, binding his limbs and tightening around his throat.]

[Chu Sheng felt his body stop obeying him; his knees began to bend, his neck began to lower, and his willpower felt as if it were being strangled by an invisible hand, struggling frantically.]

[You've got to be kidding me!]

[He clenched his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead, his whole body trembling as if being torn apart by two opposing forces.]

[The Heavenly Demon Body operated automatically, and black-red Devilish Qi seeped from his pores to resist that force.]

[After a stalemate lasting a full ten breaths, the force suddenly withdrew.]

[Chu Sheng stumbled, nearly falling flat on the ground. He gasped for air, his body drenched in cold sweat.]

[Yu Rumeng looked at him, a flash of surprise in her eyes, then she smiled casually. "Forget it, I won't make it hard for you. However—"]

[She reached out a finger and lightly tapped his forehead. "Remember, from today on, you are dominated by Big Sister."]

[Chu Sheng gritted his teeth and said nothing.]

Seeing this scene, Chu Sheng slammed the table in anger: "Lick feet? This woman is too much! But luckily I held out, otherwise how could I hold my head up as a demon in the future?"

He gulped down some tea and calmed down again. "Forget it, it's not a loss anyway. She's a top-tier succubus; many people couldn't get her even if they begged."

[Once Chu Sheng regained his strength, he asked a question he had been holding in all night: "What exactly is your cultivation level?"]

[Yu Rumeng smiled without answering. She turned to walk back into the hall, leaving behind a sentence: "Why ask so much?"]

[The Old Grandfather's voice echoed from the ring, carrying a hint of wariness: "Don't ask. If you knew, you wouldn't be able to sleep."]

[Chu Sheng tactfully shut his mouth.]

[With her back to him, Yu Rumeng took a Jade Slip from her sleeve and tossed it over casually.]

[Chu Sheng caught it; it was cold to the touch and engraved with dense, tiny characters.]

["The resentment of the Netherworld Ancestor has been mostly neutralized, but a trace remains that you need to refine yourself. This is the Spirit Sea insights Big Sister compiled. Read it before you leave."]

[Clutching the Jade Slip, Chu Sheng couldn't quite describe the feeling in his heart.]

[This woman calls him a slave, yet she helps him neutralize resentment, gives him Spirit Sea insights, and...]

[He shook his head and stopped thinking about it.]

[Chu Sheng went into seclusion for three days to study Yu Rumeng's Spirit Sea insights.]

[He finally understood the three stages of the Spirit Sea Realm.]

[Spirit Spring involves opening a spiritual spring in the Dantian, turning True Essence into spring water that flows endlessly.]

[Spirit Lake is when the Spirit Spring expands into a lake. The amount of True Essence skyrockets dozens of times, allowing for prolonged flight and doubling combat power.]

[Sea Opening is when the lake turns into a sea. True Essence becomes infinite, allowing one to move mountains and fill seas with a simple gesture.]

[The Old Grandfather was rarely serious, his voice low and solemn: "The Spirit Spring is the first step, and also the hardest. Countless people are stuck here for a lifetime. You haven't stayed in the Late Stage of True Transformation Realm for long, so your Foundation isn't particularly solid. Charging into the Spirit Spring now carries no small risk."]

[Chu Sheng gritted his teeth: "I'll try."]

[He sat cross-legged, went over the contents of the Jade Slip once more, closed his eyes, and began to circulate the Heavenly Demon Body.]

[In his Dantian, True Essence churned like boiling water. The power of Yu Rumeng's Divine Soul, the resentment of the Netherworld Ancestor, and the power of the Resentful Souls absorbed from the Blood Sea.]

[The three forces were like three flood dragons, crashing wildly inside his body and frantically pounding against that invisible gate.]

[Pain.]

[It wasn't the pain of flesh and skin, but a pain deep within the Soul, as if someone were striking his Dantian with a hammer—one strike, two strikes, three strikes.]

[With every strike that fell, he felt as if his body were about to be torn apart.]

[Sweat poured down like rain, his whole body trembled, and blood seeped from his clenched teeth.]

[That resentment was like a venomous snake churning in his mind, gnawing at his Divine Soul. The resentment, grievance, and anger of the Netherworld Ancestor before his death surged in like a tide.]

[Yu Rumeng stood outside the door, her brow slightly furrowed, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes.]

[Fake Name stood behind her and asked softly, "Can he make it?"]

[Yu Rumeng didn't answer, only staring at the tightly closed door.]

[On the night of the third day, Chu Sheng suddenly opened his eyes.]

[A burst of black light erupted from his body, soaring upward and piercing through the dome of the hall, heading straight into the clouds.]

[In his Dantian, a Spirit Spring condensed into form. Black spring water gurgled out, carrying dense Devilish Qi as thick as ink. Every drop contained terrifying power.]

[Early Stage of Spirit Spring!]

[Chu Sheng stood up, feeling the surging True Essence in his body, nearly laughing out loud.]

[The Spirit Sea and True Transformation Realm were indeed worlds apart.]

[Before, fighting someone at the Spirit Spring stage was a death wish. Now—at least he could run.]

[Yu Rumeng pushed the door open and entered. Looking at his Spirit Spring, surprise flashed in her eyes: "A black Spirit Spring? That's quite rare."]

[She paused, a smile curling on her lips. "However, Big Sister likes it even more now."]

[Chu Sheng's mouth twitched.]

[This woman never forgot to tease him at any moment.]

[Even though he had reached the Spirit Spring stage, he still couldn't see through this woman's cultivation.]

[He withdrew his Spirit Spring and took a deep breath.]

[From now on, he was also in the Spirit Sea Realm.]

[Although it was only the Early Stage of Spirit Spring, and this level of cultivation was nothing special in the Demon Race's territory, at least he was no longer a minor character that anyone could push around.]

[Yu Rumeng looked at him, her gaze holding something indefinable: "Rest for a day. Tomorrow, Big Sister will take you somewhere."]

[Chu Sheng asked: "Where?"]

[Yu Rumeng turned to leave, leaving behind a sentence: "You'll know when you get there."]

[Chu Sheng stood in the hall, watching her back, suddenly feeling that this woman wasn't so terrifying after all.]

Watching this scene, Chu Sheng let out a long breath: "Early Stage of Spirit Spring, I've finally gained a foothold in the Demon Race. But where is Yu Rumeng taking him? It couldn't be another dragon's den or tiger's lair, could it?"

He tossed a peanut into his mouth and muttered to himself, "Whatever, I'm in the Spirit Sea Realm now. If I can't win, I can always run."

He looked at the screen and smiled.

This trip to the Blood Sea was worth it.
