Chapter 355 -304-305: Refining the Thunderbolt, Never Forgetting the Original Intention

Once he confirmed that the Chaos Crystal Stones were of great use to him, Xu Chang’an didn’t hesitate. He instantly decided to end his seclusion and make a trip outside.

He was going to the Kunpeng Palace to buy more Chaos Crystal Stones.

A small burst of his Primordial Spirit Power dismantled the Array outside his Meditation Room.

Stepping out of the Meditation Room, Xu Chang’an glanced at another meditation room to the southwest, but there was no sign of activity.

That was the Meditation Room where the Peacock King, Chu Xianyi, was in seclusion.

She had been in seclusion for nearly five years now.

‘I wonder how Chu Xianyi’s seclusion is going.’

‘With her talent, she must have already mastered a Divine Secret Technique by now!’

‘Or perhaps she’s already succeeded in the initial refining of the Top-Grade Spiritual Treasure, the Exquisite Treasure Tower.’

Leaving his cave dwelling, Xu Chang’an was single-minded. He didn’t linger, heading straight for the Kunpeng Palace.

The Kunpeng Palace was as bustling as ever.

Xu Chang’an first went to the sixth floor of the Kunpeng Palace and sold several of the legacies and Divine Techniques he possessed.

These included the Attacking Divine Technique—Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Hand Seal; a collection of one hundred and eight auxiliary Magical Divine Techniques; the Attacking Divine Technique—Innate Candle Sun Divine Illumination Technique; and the Array True Understanding…

Now that his strength had greatly increased, he felt more confident selling these resources.

When selling them, he deliberately avoided the booth he had visited before.

The one who received him was not the same old man as before, but a different member of the Demon Race who had taken the form of a middle-aged man.

In total, these resources sold for over nineteen thousand Spirit Crystals.

Among these Divine Secret Techniques, the most valuable was the Attacking Divine Technique—Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Hand Seal.

After selling his resources, Xu Chang’an went straight to the second floor of the Kunpeng Palace.

If his resources had been worth just a bit more, he would have undoubtedly chosen to buy a couple of Upper-Grade Spiritual Treasures.

He would have devoured the Artifact Spirits within them, which would have given him enough Energy to reach the Unity Realm and maximize his gains.

Unfortunately, he didn’t have enough Spirit Crystals.

So, he decided to keep only a small portion of his Spirit Crystals for necessities and use the rest to buy Chaos Crystal Stones.

Eighteen thousand Spirit Crystals bought him a total of one thousand eight hundred Chaos Crystal Stones.

Chaos Crystal Stones take an extremely long time to refine, so a purchase of this magnitude naturally attracted some attention.

Of course, Xu Chang’an was prepared for this.

With a few well-chosen words, he led the attending Demon Race member to believe that he planned to travel through Shuofang Province as an itinerant merchant, selling the Chaos Crystal Stones for a profit.

The Shuofang Province was vast, and on such an immense land, there were naturally many business opportunities.

Some of the tribes and factions in the mountains far from the Demon City were in desperate need of these Chaos Crystal Stones.

They weren’t afraid of the time it would take to refine them, only that the resources were too expensive!

However, it wasn’t a business that just anyone could do.

The Great Realm was crawling with Tribulation Cultivators, which meant the venture was fraught with enormous risk!

Besides buying the Chaos Crystal Stones, Xu Chang’an also picked up a few Jade Scrolls containing various Cultivation Observations.

He was new to the Great Realm and didn’t know about many of the powerful Demon Fiends.

Buying this information to gather intelligence was extremely important!

After taking care of everything, Xu Chang’an returned to his cave dwelling.

Chu Xianyi was still in seclusion. The light of an Array shrouded her room, and even his Demon Sense couldn’t detect anything from within.

Xu Chang’an gave her room a deep, searching look before stepping into his own Meditation Room.

‘According to the records, the Top-Grade Spiritual Treasure, the Exquisite Treasure Tower, contains members of the Harmonization Demon Race as servants.’

‘If Chu Xianyi refines it, even just the initial stage, she should be able to command one or two members of the Harmonization Demon Race.’

‘That would be troublesome!’

‘But I have enough confidence now to handle it!’

He and Chu Xianyi both had things to be wary of in the other. As long as he displayed sufficient strength, the two of them would leave each other in peace.

At least, that would be the case until they reached the Blood Rock Land to claim the opportunities in Thunder Beast Kuiniu Wanqi Zhengxian’s cave dwelling.

After setting up the Array, Xu Chang’an quickly composed himself.

Chaos Crystal Stones appeared before him one after another.

“Begin!”

One after another, the Chaos Crystal Stones were swallowed by Xu Chang’an.

The moment a Chaos Crystal Stone entered his stomach, it crumbled into dust. Then, wisps of mist spread out and were absorbed by him.

The remaining dust was then converted into Energy and absorbed by his status panel.

As he continued to absorb the mist, Xu Chang’an’s Demon Body and Spirit began to strengthen, albeit at an incredibly slow pace.

Previously, after breaking through to Late-stage Void Refining, the resilience of Xu Chang’an’s Demon Body and Spirit had already reached a terrifying level.

His physique was comparable to an ordinary Top-Grade Spiritual Treasure, while his claws and fangs were on par with mid- to high-tier Top-Grade Spiritual Treasures.

And now, with the enhancement from the Chaos Stones, Xu Chang’an’s Demon Body and Spirit, which he had thought was already at its limit, actually improved a tiny bit more.

By the time he had devoured five hundred Chaos Stones, Xu Chang’an could clearly feel that the rate of improvement and transformation had slowed significantly.

It now took two Chaos Stones to achieve the same effect one had previously.

At nine hundred Chaos Stones, the rate of his body’s transformation dropped another level.

When Xu Chang’an had consumed one thousand three hundred and eighty-eight Chaos Stones, his physique seemed to have reached its absolute limit, unable to advance any further.

Thanks to the breakthroughs from his panel, the toughness of his Demon Body was already at a terrifying level.

And now, it had been further transformed by the Chaos Stones.

‘My Demon Body is comparable to a mid-tier Top-Grade Spiritual Treasure, and my claws and fangs are on par with a peak Top-Grade Spiritual Treasure!’

A supreme brilliance shone in Xu Chang’an’s eyes.

Even the strongest experts among the Harmonization Demon Race might not possess a peak Top-Grade Spiritual Treasure!

Yet he had reached such a terrifying state through his own body alone!

With the enhancement of his Demon Body and Spirit complete, Xu Chang’an spent the next half-month continuously adapting to the recent changes.
