Chapter 10: First Level of Spirit Release
“She’s back! Guli is back!”
“Not only is Guli back, but she also brought a horned pig and a man who looks weak and ugly, but seems to possess immense strength!”
In the valley, as Yi Chen and Guli arrived, the members of the Flame Mountain Tribe all gathered to welcome them.
Upon learning that Yi Chen had killed the horned pig, everyone found it hard to believe.
Yet, the strength Yi Chen displayed made it impossible for them to doubt him.
The tribe members celebrated Yi Chen’s decision to join the Flame Mountain Tribe with great joy.
Tribal chief Tai Shi even announced that there would be a bonfire party that night to celebrate Yi Chen’s joining.
Even another warrior in the tribe, Rog, was incredibly excited.
Not only did he want to become the tribal chief, but he also wished to win Guli’s heart.
Suddenly having a strong competitor should have bothered him, but he didn’t feel that way.
In his eyes, although Yi Chen had great strength, he lacked a muscular body, rugged looks, and rough dark skin, so he was sure he wouldn’t win Guli’s affection.
Also, while Yi Chen had exceptional talent and terrifying power, Rog believed he was definitely more agile.
If a fight were to happen, Yi Chen would not necessarily be his match.
Thus, once he became chief, Yi Chen would only become his right-hand man.
With the support of Yi Chen and Guli, he was sure he could lead the Flame Mountain Tribe to greatness.
Therefore, instead of undermining Yi Chen, he aimed to befriend him.
…
After a long day, Yi Chen finally returned to the small wooden house he was working on in the Flame Mountain Tribe.
The house was incredibly simple, only about fifteen or sixteen square meters in size.
But in the Flame Mountain Tribe, it was considered a mansion.
Previously, only tribal chief Tai Shi, the high priest, and warriors Guli and Rog had lived in wooden houses.
Now, Yi Chen joined their ranks.
Sitting cross-legged on the wooden bed, Yi Chen quickly entered a meditative state.
All around him, dense spirit energy began to converge.
Afterward, it felt as if he had returned to the cave, transforming into a seasoned homebody.
Every day, the Flame Mountain Tribe organized hunting teams.
According to tribal rules, all adult men could choose not to participate every day, but they must join at least once every three days.
But whether it was Guli’s invitation, Rog’s request, or even tribal chief Tai Shi coming to ask him, Yi Chen declined with various excuses.
Fortunately, he had hunted the horned pig, which weighed tons, earning him great merits for the Flame Mountain Tribe.
Although it did not comply with tribal rules and the tribe members were somewhat unhappy, they could only endure for now.
As days passed, the dissatisfaction among the tribe members gradually built up.
The audience in front of the screen, however, did not feel weary.
This was because Yi Chen, focused on his cultivation, was making rapid progress.
In less than five days, he broke through to the seventh level of the Qi Condensation stage.
Just over five days later, he advanced to the eighth level of the Qi Condensation stage.
And after six days, he reached the ninth level of the Qi Condensation stage!
For the audience watching through the screen, Yi Chen’s concentrated cultivation and quick improvement meant they could soon test the limits and side effects of this cultivation method.
It was undoubtedly something they had eagerly hoped for.
The only thing that made the audience feel slightly disappointed was that Yi Chen had not yet copied down the formulas for the Flying Blade Technique.
This issue felt like a thorn in everyone’s heart, causing immense discomfort.
Not daring to learn due to fear of side effects was one thing; not being able to learn was another.
When it came to learning the Flying Blade Technique, having the initiative was in their hands, but if they couldn’t learn it, the control was not in their hands.
The feeling was entirely different.
Yet, the audience in the live room found themselves powerless.
As long as Yi Chen did not write down the formulas, they could only anxiously wait with patience.
…
Twenty days passed in the blink of an eye.
Inside the wooden house, Yi Chen continued his relentless practice.
Buzz!
His body quivered slightly.
Then, a powerful aura burst forth from within him.
It caused a strong wind to sweep through the entire wooden house.
As the wind settled, Yi Chen suddenly opened his eyes wide.
He had broken through!
He tried waving his hand.
An invisible spirit power shot out along his palm.
After breaking through to a new realm, the spirit power in his Qi Sea could now be released outside his body.
This was undoubtedly a huge advancement.
With this ability, he could confront enemies from a distance.
If he held a weapon, he could even unleash sword energy or blade energy.
In addition, with the breakthrough to a new level, his spirit power underwent a qualitative change, becoming several times more compressed and refined.
The Qi Sea and meridians, stimulated by the spirit power, continually expanded, becoming broader.
"After reaching this new level, if spirit power can be released, I shall call it the Spirit Release stage!"
Yi Chen didn’t spend much time thinking about the name for the new realm.
What he wanted more was to stabilize his new level quickly and then go out to compete for the position of tribal chief.
Only by conquering the entire Flame Mountain Tribe and with over a thousand tribe members as his foundation could he take the first step towards large-scale territorial expansion and enhance the effects of the Strongest Talent System!
Adjusting his mindset and suppressing the excitement and joy from breaking through to the first level of the Spirit Release stage, Yi Chen sat down again with crossed legs and resumed his practice.
Unfortunately, he felt disappointed.
After breaking through to the first level of the Spirit Release stage, his Qi Sea, meridians, and spirit power all underwent a qualitative change.
This led to a surprisingly poor effect when using the Chaos Technique for cultivation.
The external spirit energy drawn into the meridians was extremely minimal.
In other words, to stabilize his realm and continue cultivating to break through to the second and third levels of the Spirit Release stage, he would need to improve the Chaos Technique to make it suitable for cultivation at this stage.
‘As expected, being a pioneer is a tough road with many obstacles! This means that for every major breakthrough in the future, I will have to spend time improving the Chaos Technique or creating a new cultivation technique.’
Yi Chen sighed softly.
Fortunately, there was still time before the competition for the hunting results to gain the position of tribal chief.
He quickly adjusted his mindset.
He began to sense the nature of the spirit power within him and the properties of the external spirit energy, understanding their similarities and differences, and researching how to improve the Chaos Technique to make it more suitable for Spirit Release stage cultivation.
…
At this moment, hundreds of thousands of viewers in the live room were astonished.
With each small breakthrough, his physical quality, spirit power strength, and the spirit power content in his Qi Sea all increased.
Everyone had already accepted this fact.
But as Yi Chen broke through to the first level of the Spirit Release stage, a revolutionary situation suddenly unfolded.
Although it was just a small breakthrough, his spirit power strength, Qi Sea, and meridians underwent qualitative changes, surging several times.
"My goodness, the increase from the ninth level of the Qi Condensation stage to the tenth level is so significant?"
"It’s not the tenth level of the Qi Condensation stage; it’s the first level of the Spirit Release stage."
"Whether it’s spirit power strength or the Qi Sea and meridians, he has achieved significant breakthroughs. It’s no wonder that after the breakthrough, he didn’t call it the tenth level of the Qi Condensation stage but named it the Spirit Release stage instead."
"Though his physical quality didn’t change dramatically after breaking through to the Spirit Release stage, his spirit power strength, Qi Sea, and meridians all received tremendous boosts. This means that in the future, the emitted spirit energy will only be greater, and the enhancement of physical quality will be faster."
"I’m not waiting any longer. After so much time, I haven’t reached the limit or experienced any side effects; I want to start cultivating the Chaos Technique!"
"Those brave pioneers who began imitating the cultivation of the Chaos Technique first, with high talents, have reached the eighth level of the Qi Condensation stage! They also haven’t reached the limit or faced any side effects."
"I will also start cultivating the Chaos Technique!"
As many viewers clamored to begin cultivating the Chaos Technique, someone discovered a piece of information that could shock the entire world!
"Heavens! Everyone, look at the genetic data from the scanner that shows the repaired gene data."
"Yi Chen’s repair gene value suddenly doubled after breaking through to the first level of the Spirit Release stage. Doesn’t that mean his lifespan has also doubled?"
"Based on Yi Chen’s repair gene data, even without any diseases and living in a sterile environment, his lifespan limit is about one hundred and twenty years, which is similar to the average lifespan limit of humanity."
"This is because the cell division limit in his body is only one hundred and twenty years. After one hundred and twenty years, most cells will be unable to continue dividing, reaching the limit of his lifespan."
"But now, with his repair gene value increased, it means that the cell division limit can also double."
"Doesn’t this mean his lifespan limit could soar from one hundred and twenty years to two hundred and forty years?"
