Chapter 1573: The Sixth Layer of the Chaotic Body

There was a dark sky in a dreary world. There was no sun, no moon, and no stars. The ground was desolate. There were no signs of life as far as the eye could see. The land was filled with a deathly silence.

A young man, who seemed to be in his twenties, currently sat in the center of that world. Two swords hovered before him, one shining with an azure light while the other let out a violet light. A roaring flame in the young man’s hand gave off a terrifying heat. He was currently refining the two glowing swords.

At a closer glance, it was quite obvious that the two swords were covered in a layer of thin cracks. The cracks were extremely dense, spanning the swords like a spider’s web.

The cracked swords were gradually being repaired by the terrifying flames. Although they were not being repaired at an extremely fast rate,cracks would completely disappear if this continued.

The young man was Jian Chen. He had remained there for three whole years. Of course, those three years were only applicable to the outside world. In that hazy gray world, there was obviously no difference between day and night with the absence of the sun, moon, and stars. It was impossible to sense the flow of time in such an environment because the surroundings never changed. He had no idea how much time had passed whenever he went into secluded cultivation.

Over the past three years, Jian Chen and Shangguan Mu’er had always been cultivating by absorbing the yin and yang Qi from the Yinyang Saint Rock. Both of their strengths had drastically increased every passing day during those three years. Shangguan Mu’er’s improvement rate was so fast that she even surpassed Jian Chen.

Jian Chen’s Chaotic Body remained at the fifth layer. Although the amount of energy he had absorbed across the three years was not enough for his Chaotic Body to reach the sixth layer, his chaotic neidan was now full. If he continued, he would break through very soon.

Since each layer of the Chaotic Body required ten times more than the last, Jian Chen’s cultivation became more difficult the further he advanced.

Jian Chen sat there as he transformed Chaotic Force into Chaotic Flames to repair the twin swords. Even though the fusion of the swords had failed, it had still damaged them, causing the sword spirits to become weak. However, the damage this time was not extremely severe. He just needed to spend some time refining them again and the cracks would disappear.

Jian Chen had no idea how much time he had spent repairing the swords in this world that had no sense of time. In the end, he finally fixed all the cracks on the twin swords. Even though the sword spirits were still rather weak, the swords looked the same as when they were first refined. They let out dazzling glows.

Jian Chen stood up after the swords had been repaired. He stood on the Zi Ying Sword and shot off into the distance in a single instance as a streak of violet light.

In the blink of an eye, Jian Chen appeared several dozen kilometers away. A single earthen hut stood there on the dreary ground. It seemed simple, but powerful pulses of energy emanated from it. The earthen hut had been grown from the ground through Shangguan Mu’er’s techniques, so it was extremely tough even though it looked like an ordinary hut.

Jian Chen stood outside and stared at the hut. His gaze seemed to be able to pass through the walls, and when he saw what was happening inside, a sliver of gentleness appeared in his eyes.

“Mu’er still hasn’t refined the yin and yang Qi. Looks like I’ll have to wait outside for a while,” thought Jian Chen. He was used to waiting after the past three years. Whenever the two of them absorbed the yin and yang Qi, he would always refine the energy extremely quickly because of his Chaotic Body. However, Shangguan Mu’er always required more time than Jian Chen.

Whenever they absorbed the yin and yang Qi, Shangguan Mu’er would take ten days or even half a month while Jian Chen only needed three days.

However, Jian Chen would not dare to absorb the yin and yang Qi without Shangguan Mu’er

If he did, it would mean certain death. As a result, Jian Chen could only wait patiently while Shangguan Mu’er refined her energy. At this moment, the door to the earthen hut slowly opened. Shangguan Mu’er appeared at the entrance and slowly walked out.
