The Heavenly Palace has fourteen levels!

The Divine Ability acts more like a Formation, tightly locking these heavenly palaces together.

Chu Xinghe's eyes narrowed.

If he could see through someone's fate directly during a battle in the future...

And infiltrate it to destroy a layer of their heavenly palace...

He wondered what would happen.

After his Breakthrough, Chu Xinghe became even more cautious about using his Divine Ability lightly.

If things went wrong, he might suffer a backlash.

Looking at the surrounding Immortal Dao Origins...

Chu Xinghe gave a bitter laugh.

The first layer heavenly palace was 129,600 zhang, not 100,000 zhang.

The energy required for each subsequent Breakthrough would only increase.

Going from the eighth layer Middle Stage to the tenth layer Early Stage...

The condensed Immortal Origins around him were basically exhausted.

He didn't use any points this time, which was quite good.

Chu Xinghe took out the demon refining pot.

He poured out all the Immortal Dao Origins.

There were tens of thousands of clusters.

Chu Xinghe entered seclusion once again.

In a flash...

Another five days passed.

Chu Xinghe looked at the eleventh layer heavenly palace inside his body.

He was in no hurry to open the twelfth layer.

Chu Xinghe gazed at the heavenly palace.

The aura was the same.

But Chu Xinghe felt something was off.

There was an indescribable sense of estrangement.

Chu Xinghe's sixth sense was never wrong.

He could only sense this because the Cultivation Technique he practiced was self-created.

If not for the technique, Chu Xinghe wouldn't have noticed.

Could it be that engraving a Divine Ability was originally a scam?

If that were true...

Engraving a Divine Ability at the tenth layer heavenly palace...

Another at the twentieth layer...

And continuing at the thirtieth layer...

Wouldn't that mean being divided three times during the process?

Since they were all his own heavenly palaces...

The Divine Ability engraved in the tenth layer should be able to mobilize the power of the higher palaces perfectly smoothly.

Chu Xinghe felt it was strange.

A flash of inspiration suddenly crossed his mind.

He remembered the situation when the origin stone was inside his body.

Chu Xinghe began to emulate it.

He started his attempt.

At the same time, a force appeared within Chu Xinghe's body.

It transformed into silk threads.

Buzz... buzz... buzz...

These threads surrounded the heavenly palace.

The heavenly palace became the center, with the threads radiating outwards.

At this moment, Chu Xinghe had a realization.

The heavenly palace was inherently one with himself.

Yet it still needed to be mobilized during combat.

It was as if there were an extra layer of conversion in between.

But they were already one.

It should move with a single thought.

Chu Xinghe fell into an Epiphany.

Another five days passed.

Chu Xinghe opened his eyes.

Twelve layers of the heavenly palace had been opened in his body, built as a single entity.

It no longer felt like it was built layer by layer.

Chu Xinghe took a deep breath.

This was perfect.

Chu Xinghe opened the demon refining pot.

He let out a sigh.

Chu Xinghe had already poured out a lot of Immortal Dao Origins.

He had also stuffed a lot of immortal crystals inside.

He was worried that if he had a realization and fell into an Epiphany, the Immortal Dao Origins wouldn't be enough.

Immortal Dao Origin was itself a further purification of supreme grade immortal crystals.

In this one seclusion session...

Chu Xinghe had consumed nearly five hundred trillion supreme grade immortal crystals.

Chu Xinghe was a bit worried; this consumption was simply too high.

How could it be like this?

[Master, your heavenly palace is much larger than others, and the condensation of your Immortal Qi is also higher.]

Chu Xinghe clicked his tongue.

Breaking through four layers of the Realm cost five hundred trillion supreme grade immortal crystals.

He estimated that breaking through the thirteenth layer would probably take around three hundred trillion.

The thought alone gave Chu Xinghe a headache.

He needed to find a way to ask those old fellows for some.

However, Chu Xinghe had another idea.

There was still the Dao of Calculation and the Yin Heavenly Son.

Chu Xinghe only needed to see a glimpse of their fate.

If he could replicate the Luck Medicinal Pills they took—the ones refined from humans—he could control both of them.

Next, it was time to use points for the Breakthrough.

Chu Xinghe's points were rapidly consumed.

In a short while...

Chu Xinghe's Realm stopped at the fourteenth layer Late Stage, and his 1.15 million points were completely exhausted.

[Master broke through to the ninth layer of the Heavenly Palace, rewarding 9,000 points.]

[Master broke through to the tenth layer of the Heavenly Palace, rewarding 10,000 points.]

[Master broke through to the eleventh layer of the Heavenly Palace, rewarding 11,000 points.]

[Master broke through to the twelfth layer of the Heavenly Palace, rewarding 12,000 points.]

[Master broke through to the thirteenth layer of the Heavenly Palace, rewarding 13,000 points.]

[Master broke through to the fourteenth layer of the Heavenly Palace, rewarding 14,000 points.]

Chu Xinghe sighed as he looked at the 69,000 points he had recovered.

To continue breaking through to the fifteenth layer of the heavenly palace, he would need 170,000 points.

Or he would have to exhaust all the resources in his hands.

For the first time, Chu Xinghe felt short of money.

He had almost finished shearing the wool of the Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace.

It was time to end his seclusion and get to business.

Those Old Ancestors were all idle with nothing to do.

He needed to find something for them to do.

Keeping them idle wasn't a long-term solution.

Chu Xinghe was currently lacking resources.

He had to start from both points and resources.

He left the Divine Son Hall after ending his seclusion.

Compared to this place...

Chu Xinghe still preferred staying at Xuanhuang Peak.

This place was empty and had nothing fun.

At least at Xuanhuang Peak, there were two people to talk to.

Chu Xinghe took a step forward.

He was already ten thousand meters away.

In a short while...

He had arrived at Xuanhuang Peak.

Just as Chu Xinghe returned to Xuanhuang Peak...

Creak... creak... creak-creak.

Chu Xinghe's footsteps paused.

He looked at Zhou Hanhai and Da Hua's room with a strange expression.

It seemed he hadn't come at the right time.

Just as Chu Xinghe was planning to leave...

Zhou Hanhai happened to open the door.

"Oh, Young Lord, you're back."

Chu Xinghe nodded.

A flash of embarrassment crossed his face.

Interrupting someone's good business always felt a bit awkward.

"You've returned at just the right time, Young Lord. Wait until I finish fixing the bed."

Chu Xinghe coughed. "Your physical strength is really good."

Zhou Hanhai: ???

"It's alright, just fixing a bed leg. That damn Xing Wuwei took advantage of us not being home to remove one of our bed legs. I haven't even gone to find him for trouble yet."

Chu Xinghe: ???

"If there's nothing else, I'll head back first."

After saying that, Chu Xinghe turned and left.

Da Hua walked out. "Did the Young Lord have something hidden in his words just now?"

Zhou Hanhai scratched his head.

"I don't know, it felt a bit strange."

Chu Xinghe lay on the rocking chair.

The surrounding flowers had bloomed.

He brewed a pot of tea.

Quite pleasant.

Looking at his points...

There were still 70,000.

Lucky draw?

Even a dog wouldn't... draw.

If a dog won't draw, I will.

[Master, I advise you not to draw yet.]

"Don't worry, I'm possessed by the Emperor of Luck."

"Let's start with three Advanced draws."

[Congratulations, Master, you have drawn ten thousand fish.]

[Congratulations, Master, you have drawn a portion of fishing bait.]

[Congratulations, Master, you have obtained a set of fishing equipment.]

Chu Xinghe: ?????

[I told you not to draw, but you insisted.]

"How could it be like this?"

[Uh, because I used a small loophole to reward Master with too many points, I've been sanctioned.]

Chu Xinghe: ... "One more time."

[Congratulations, Master, you have obtained Jiang Wanyin's black stockings.]

*Hiss!*

Chu Xinghe froze.

Jiang Wanyin's black stockings.

That's ten thousand points.

"One more time."

[Congratulations, Master, you have obtained one pair of Zhongli Qingmeng's black stockings.]

Chu Xinghe's left hand slapped his right hand.

His right hand slapped his left hand back.

In the distance, Zhou Hanhai and Hua Buwan, who were about to come over, looked at each other.

"Why are the Young Lord's left and right hands fighting each other?"

"I don't know either. Something's not right. Let's watch for a while before going over."

Chu Xinghe lay on the rocking chair.

He felt as if his energy and spirit had been drained.

Not knowing what idea he had thought of...

Chu Xinghe suddenly sat up.
