187: Chapter 187 Breaking the upper limit of the ninth level of Qi Refining, reaching the tenth level of Qi Refining!

Beicang Plain, Hanyan City, Su Estate Secret Chamber.

Darkness like thick ink tightly wrapped the entire basement.

Three-year-old Su Yu sat cross-legged atop a cold meditation cushion.

The small cyan Dao robe on his body was slightly oversized, setting off his somewhat tender physique to appear exceptionally thin.

Yet deep within those pitch-black eyes, devoid of a single ripple, burned a ball of absolute stillness and coldness sufficient to incinerate the firmament.

That scene in the ancestral hall's secret chamber, those rows of spirit tablets filled with blood and tears, that scroll of Blood Calamity Legacy Record of Zizhu Peak carved by the eldest daughter Ziyue with her fingernails and blood.

It was like a rusted, blunt knife repeatedly cutting deep within his Dao Heart, yet not a single tear fell.

Painful?

Of course it hurt.

That was the flesh and blood he raised with his own hands in his fifth lifetime, those close relatives who smiled at him in the backyard of Zizhu Peak, shared his worries, and even shed silent tears before his departure.

But when those high-and-mighty Mahayana giants of Taixu Immortal Palace, Patriarch Tailing and Xuanbing Toad Ancestor, exterminated and tortured this weak Bloodline to death in order to seize the groundless Luck upon him...

That kind of pain transformed in an instant into a pure intent of slaughter without a shred of Impurities.

"Taixu Immortal Palace... Xuanbing Toad Ancestor... Underworld Hall..."

Su Yu sat in the darkness, letting out an extremely faint murmur from his throat.

There were no hysterical roars in that voice, only absolute stillness like ten-thousand-year dark ice.

"You spent a thousand years thinking you had exterminated the Bloodline of the Su Family."

"Yet in your wildest dreams you never expected that I, Su Yu, would return to stand upon this land carrying this body of Karma and fury."

He slowly raised his right hand.

At his palm, there were no ripples of magical power, nor any flashing thunder.

Yet under the ultimate perception of the Primordial Dao Fruit, he could extremely clearly see the lines of heaven and earth Karma circulating in the surrounding Void Realm.

Those lines of Karma were intricately connected in all directions of the Hunyuan Heavenly Domain.

Among them, the thickest and most glaring few pointed straight in the direction of Zhongzhou—the location of Taixu Immortal Palace!

"The interest, I have already recorded."

Su Yu slightly closed his five fingers, as if wanting to completely crush that invisible line of Karma in the Void Realm.

"Before settling all of this, I need enough swords, sharp blades sufficient to pierce their sect-protecting Formation."

"This Physical Body... it is also time to move around a bit."

Su Yu withdrew his thoughts and completely sank his mind deep into his body.

From the very moment he was born into this world three years ago, he had been carefully examining this transcendent panel forged with 9,500 Fate-Defying Points.

Aptitude transcended limits, transforming into the Chaos Flawless Dao Body!

Comprehension Ability transcended limits, transforming into the Primordial Dao Fruit!

At that time within the illusory Reincarnation, the System had merely provided extremely brief definitions.

Until today, when he truly began setting out to transport Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and reshape his cultivation Foundation...

Su Yu truly realized what kind of subversively terrifying mighty power these two forces that transcended the cognitive limits of the Hunyuan Heavenly Domain represented.

"Boom—"

Su Yu's mind stirred, and the Meridians inside his body that had been dormant for three years woke up slightly like an ancient Dragon.

Unlike ordinary Cultivators who needed to deliberately seek Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

Under the blessing of the Chaos Flawless Dao Body, his shell, which looked like a three-year-old child, was inherently a miniature Universe independent of this side of heaven and earth.

On the surface of his skin, a tremendously profound inner respiration was naturally taking place at every moment.

The violent miscellaneous Spiritual Qi from the outside world, even mixed with the unique chilling malicious Qi of the Beicang Plain.

The instant it made contact with his skin, it was forcibly stripped, tempered, and purified by that natural layer of Chaos Dao Law.

It transformed into a wisp of Origin essential Qi a hundred times purer than any top-grade spiritual spring in the world, extremely tamely merging into his limbs and bones.

Flawless.

Truly flawless!

No matter how high an ordinary Cultivator's Aptitude was, when exhaling and inhaling Spiritual Qi, a small amount of Impurities would always precipitate deep within the Meridians, requiring regular cleaning through various Medicinal Pills or closed-door detoxification.

As for Su Yu's Dao Body, not only did it isolate all Impurities outside the moment they touched the body surface.

Even the trace metabolism produced by himself would be perfectly locked within the Inner World to nourish his Physical Body.

This Physical Body, from the very moment he was born, already stood upon the embryonic form of immortality.

"Not only the Physical Body..."

Su Yu's consciousness floated slightly upward, landing within his own Sea of Consciousness.

There, a phantom of a fruit emitting a chaotic purple radiance was quietly suspended.

Primordial Dao Fruit!

This Dao Fruit did not need to be deliberately Cultivated like a Cultivation Technique; it was a permanent, cheat-like absolute talent.

As long as Su Yu's gaze reached or his Divine Sense extended.

All Laws in the world held no secrets.

Even an ancient immortal technique so incomplete that even its characters could not be recognized fully, under the gaze of the Primordial Dao Fruit.

Those disordered Meridian paths, incomplete Formation eye loopholes, and obscure Dao Laws would all be automatically disassembled and completed within a fraction of a breath, deduced to a perfect ultimate Realm surpassing the original author's imagination!

"With this Dao Body as the Foundation, with this Dao Fruit paving the way."

Su Yu sat cross-legged on the meditation cushion, a flash of extremely sharp edge sweeping through his abyss-like black eyes.

"This Cultivation of the sixth lifetime will no longer need to walk any detours of ordinary Cultivators."

In the Cultivation world, no matter who it was, the first step into Cultivation was inevitably guiding Qi into the body, opening the Qi Sea, and forging the Qi Refining Stage.

Qi Refining had a total of nine layers.

This was an unshakable iron Law of the Cultivation world for tens of thousands of years.

Even those peerless Prodigies with Heavenly Spiritual Roots and Earthly Spiritual Roots had to honestly climb up from the 1st Layer of Qi Refining, breaking through barrier after barrier.

Yet in Su Yu's eyes, this framework of the Ninth Level of Qi Refining worshipped by the world was actually full of loopholes everywhere.

That was a standard divided as a secondary option by The Great World after the heaven and earth Laws became incomplete in ancient times, allowing low-tier Cultivators to gradually adapt to spiritual power.

It was never the limit of Cultivation.

Back in his third lifetime, Su Yu had relied on his extraordinary Comprehension Ability to break convention, forcibly squeezing out potential during the Qi Refining Stage.

And now.

Standing atop the absolute Peak of the Chaos Flawless Dao Body and the Primordial Dao Fruit.

Su Yu's understanding of this side of heaven and earth had long surpassed the scope of the Mortal Realm.

"The Ninth Level of Qi Refining? That is merely a stepping stone prepared for mediocre talents."

Su Yu sneered.

His hands naturally formed a bizarre incantation gesture upon his knees.

That was a supreme starting cultivation method he casually deduced by combining all the martial arts Foundations of his past five lifetimes, the Creation Melting Furnace Art, and the latest deconstruction of the heaven and earth Origin by the Primordial Dao Fruit.

No.

This could not even be called a Cultivation Technique anymore.

This was a forcible leap in the essence of his own life.

"Boom!"

As the incantation gesture formed, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi around the entire secret chamber suddenly erupted into an extremely terrifying riot.

The clouds that originally floated quietly above Hanyan City were instantly torn apart into a huge funnel-shaped hollow by an invisible whale-swallowing force.

The endless, pure Spiritual Qi transformed into a substantive white pillar of light.

Violently penetrating from the top of the secret chamber, it poured straight toward Su Yu's tiny, three-year-old body!

This kind of commotion was extremely terrifying.

Had this secret chamber not been laid with several second-tier anti-peeping Formations by Su Jingan, I am afraid this anomaly of Spiritual Qi empowerment could have instantly alarmed various powerhouses throughout Hanyan City.

Even so, the bluestone floor tiles around the secret chamber emitted crisp, overburdened crackling sounds under the fallout of this terrifying Spiritual Pressure.

"Come at the right time."

Su Yu sat upright in the center of the storm, his expression lacking a shred of pain, and he did not even frown the slightest bit.

If that massive amount of Spiritual Qi rushed into the body of an ordinary three-year-old child, even with a peerless Heavenly Spiritual Root, the Meridians would be instantly stretched to fracture inch by inch, exploding the body to death on the spot.

But his body was the Chaos Flawless Dao Body.

His Meridians were like a great river reaching the heavens; the moment those violent Spiritual Qi made contact with the Meridian barriers...

They were extremely naturally assimilated and purified, transforming into an extremely warm true essence of Origin that joyfully rushed into the Dantian.

1st Layer of Qi Refining.

Almost at the exact same instant of the Spiritual Qi empowerment, this threshold that originally spanned before countless Cultivators and required months of closed-door cultivation to cross was directly smashed apart by him without even making an extra breathing sound.

But this was merely the beginning.

"Not enough, the quality and density of this Spiritual Qi are still far from enough," Su Yu evaluated coldly in his heart.

His hand incantation gestures changed again.

Creation Melting Furnace Art fully activated!

Taking his own Physical Body as the supreme Pill Furnace, he compressed, compressed, and re-compressed that massive Spiritual Qi!

He forcibly condensed gaseous spiritual power within the Meridians into viscous fluid nearly resembling substance!

"Boom!"

A roar like muffled thunder came from within his body.

Second Level of Qi Refining, achieved!

3rd Level of Qi Refining, achieved!

4th Level of Qi Refining, achieved!

...

In a short span of the time it takes to burn an incense stick.

Su Yu's cultivation was like boarding a flying boat soaring straight up, breaking through several minor Realms in one breath like a bamboo split open.

He directly and forcibly smashed open the natural chasm of the Late Stage of Qi Refining, stepping into Qi Refining 7th Layer!

Such terrifying advancement speed, if spread out, would be enough to make those peerless Prodigies across the entire Hunyuan Heavenly Domain who styled themselves as the number one of all ages feel so ashamed they would directly find a rope to hang themselves.

When others broke through, they walked on thin ice with a nine-out-of-ten chance of death.

Yet when Su Yu broke through, it was as simple and natural as drinking water and eating a meal, and not even the rhythm of his breathing was disrupted by the slightest bit.

However, when his cultivation was stuck at the critical point of the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining Great Perfection.

Su Yu abruptly stopped.

His hands suddenly closed, forcibly pressing that massive true essence that was about to break through the shackles and step into the Foundation Establishment Stage back deep into the Dantian!

"Lock... for me!"

A layer of fine sweat seeped from Su Yu's forehead, yet his eyes flashed with an extremely frenzied heat.

Stop?

Why stop?

Because he wanted to shatter that iron Law of the Cultivation world that had existed since ancient times.

Everyone knew that the Ninth Level of Qi Refining was the end point.

Upon reaching this Realm, the liquefaction of Spiritual Qi had already reached its limit; if one did not undergo Foundation Establishment, the Qi Sea would be stretched to burst.

But under the ultimate deduction of the Primordial Dao Fruit, Su Yu had long seen through the essence of this Realm.

The reason why the Ninth Level of Qi Refining was the limit was because a Mortal's Meridians had a limit, and a Cultivation Technique's upper limit had a limit!

And he possessed a Flawless Dao Body, with Meridians resembling a bottomless abyss; he possessed the Primordial Dao Fruit, patching the flaws of all Cultivation Techniques in this world to perfection!

His Qi Sea simply had no upper limit!

"Since the Ninth Level of Qi Refining is the standard of mediocre talents."

Su Yu took a deep breath, and two substantive purple-gold brilliant lights erupted within his double pupils.

"Then today, right here in this underground secret chamber of Hanyan City..."

"I will forcibly carve out a path unprecedented before!"

"Break open for me!!!"

As Su Yu let out a roar resembling the creation of heaven and earth from the bottom of his heart.

His Dantian Qi Sea, which was already stuffed full of true essence, unexpectedly expanded outward viciously by a circle at this moment without any warning!

The barrier of the Ninth Level of Qi Refining, which had originally closed, was forcibly torn apart by this extremely tyrannical power!

A brand-new true essence that was more majestic, more ancient, and even faintly carried a trace of Chaos aura surged wildly from deep within the Qi Sea.

Qi Refining 10th Layer!

A forbidden Realm never recorded before in this Cultivation world was stepped into extremely forcefully by a three-year-old infant!

...

Meanwhile.

Inside the main hall of the Su Estate.

Su Jingan, who was originally discussing market business in low voices with his wife, suddenly stopped the actions in his hands without any warning.

He suddenly raised his head, and a flash of extremely shocking terror instantly crossed his Middle Stage Golden Core eyes.

"Husband, what is wrong?" Seeing that his expression was wrong, Lin Wanqiu hurriedly spoke out to ask.

Su Jingan did not speak.

He rose abruptly, paying no heed to any majesty of an eldership, and with a flash of his figure, he instantly vanished within the main hall.

The next breath.

Su Jingan's figure appeared extremely abruptly outside the door of the secret chamber where Su Yu was in closed-door cultivation.

He stared fixedly at that closed stone door.

The whole person was like a clay sculpture or wooden carving, standing stupidly in place, trembling all over like a sifting sieve.

As a Middle Stage Golden Core Cultivator, although his Divine Sense could not probe through the Chaos Flawless Dao Body on Su Yu, he had an extremely keen instinctive perception of the flow of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi around him.

Just within the short half an hour ago.

Centered around this secret chamber, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi within a radius of ten miles unexpectedly presented a frantic backflow state approaching vacuum!

That terrifying appetite for devouring Spiritual Qi...

Was even ten times or a hundred times inferior to when he, a great Middle Stage Golden Core Cultivator, exhaled and inhaled with all his might!

"This... what kind of monster-like commotion is this..."

Su Jingan's voice was frighteningly hoarse, his eyes wide open, staring fixedly at that stone door.

He recalled three years ago, when the Spirit-Measuring Bead tested his son to be of Mortal bones, the sense of loss and melancholy deep in his own heart.

But now...

Where was this any Mortal bone?

This was clearly an ancient Vicious Beast dormant in the deepest part of the Su Family, having just opened its eyes!

Inside the secret chamber.

Regarding his father's shock and terror outside the door, Su Yu knew nothing of it, nor did he care.

He sat cross-legged on the meditation cushion.

Feeling the vast true essence within his body that had steadily stepped into the Qi Refining 10th Layer and was still frantically approaching the 11th Layer.

The corners of his mouth finally curved into an extremely cold, extremely cruel arc.

"A thousand years of blood debt."

"All the Grand Elders of Taixu Immortal Palace... You have enjoyed yourselves upon the clouds of the Hunyuan Heavenly Domain for so long."

"It is about time to wash your necks clean, waiting for the natural reckoning of this day's arrival, right?"
