Chapter 75: Different from Before

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ye Chen could confirm it now that Little Tanuki was a Celestial Beast though he did not know what stage or power it belonged to. Hopefully, it would be able to shapeshift like the pangolin someday.

Ye Changxuan and Ye Zhantian looked at Ye Chen’s critter curiously. They could feel the same aura pulsing from the creature as it did to them. Now, they knew for certain Little Tanuki was a Celestial Beast and not a Mystical Beast. Most Celestial Beasts Tenth Stage and below did not possess any offensive power. Instead, they focus on cultivating their Psyche.

After a moment, Little Tanuki opened its eyes and hopped back onto Ye Chen’s shoulders.

Ye Chen knew Little Tanuki was not the same as before.

“What level are you now, Little Tanuki?” Ye Chen asked.

It made a sign using its fingers. To Ye Chen’s surprise, Little Tanuki had transformed into a rank ten Celestial Beast. He thought Little Tanuki would only go to rank eight or nine. Were rank ten Celestial Beast powerful beings? Then again, it did not seem to possess any offensive abilities apart from its Illusions. Before getting Earth-rank Adept Stage, most Celestial Beasts were incapable of combat. When they came face to face with a Beast on their level, they were far superior.

“Little Chen, you should eat the Millennial Fetal Ginseng. We’ll watch over you.” Ye Changxuan urged Ye Chen.

Ye Chen nodded. Back then, whenever he had ingested any form of medicinal pills, the effects were barely visible. Ye Chen rather activate the Flying Dagger from his consciousness and absorb some of its Celestial Chi. However, he wanted to see what the Millennial Fetal Ginseng would do to him. He sat on the floor and ate the ginseng before assuming a meditative stance and began consolidating his Celestial Chi.

Ye Chen’s body absorbed the ginseng the moment it went into his stomach. After integrating with the Celestial Chi in his meridian channels, it became a part of his body’s Celestial Chi. Hus Celestial Chi had surely become more concentrated though the effects seemed meager.

How was that possible? The effects of the ginseng had not subsided although it was completely absorbed. In theory, Ye Chen would have advanced to the next stage. Why was there not a single thing happening?

Ye Chen’s Celestial Chi did not improve substantially but his meridian channels felt enhanced and smoother. Ye Chen looked into his Celestial Chi and found that the ginseng had been absorbed by the Nine Astra located in his energy center. There was a change in its swirling pattern and it spun around quicker now, though there were no significant improvements apart from that.

Ye Chen was disappointed to find that the ginseng did not bring any significant effect to him, not even a stage advancement. In the end, he decided to activate the Flying Dagger. While doing so, the torrent Celestial Chi that came forth was two-fold stronger. It coursed through his meridian channels and straight into his energy center where the Nine Astra had completely absorbed it.

Soon, his Celestial Chi began to react vigorously like boiling water. One moment, Ye Chen was swiftly whisked to the barrier of top Eighth Stage and the next, the barrier shattered and the Nine Astra was spinning at a greater speed. Ye Chen was happy to see that his Celestial Chi had broken through low Ninth Stage and ascended to mid-Ninth Stage.

Ye Chen’s Celestial Chi had advanced but what about the Astral Body? Ye Chen projected his Astral Body and a large specter emerged. Above him, the knight clad in golden armor seemed to have significantly grown in power. It seemed to be thicker in essence. With one thought from his mind, the knight rose five to six meters ahead. He wondered if the specter was strong in combat, especially when it came to fighting with a beast’s Psyche.

Ye Chen steered his Astral Body around, clearly excited.

Back at the East Residence, Mingyuan was helping himself to a large serving of roasted meat specially prepared by the Ye Clan members. He chewed while shoving more meat into his mouth. At the same time, he mused about how humans knew how to roast their meat. It made sense that the Daemon King would willingly integrate himself into human society.

Just then, Mingyuan felt a presence. He looked above and sent his Psyche forward, only to recoil in horror. Far up ahead in the air was the knight in golden armor that he had seen earlier that afternoon, now stronger and ferocious than before. It was much more menacing compared to what Leo King could conjure. The sheer pressure from the Psyche gave him goosebumps as if it could crush his Psyche with ease. He immediately recalled his Psyche.

Mingyuan gasped for air as his Psyche returned. His eyes spoke of indescribable horror. Such a terrifying Psyche! The Daemon King was a strong man!
