instead, he first regulated his breath, bringing his condition to peak perfection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This remnant of Yang Mei was part of a primordial spiritual root, its power pure and immense—any misstep could lead to explosive death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a full day, when his essence, energy, and spirit were perfectly unified and his heart-lake utterly still, Su Chen slowly opened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He merged the willow branch into his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant, an indescribably terrifying power erupted within him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a torrent blending boundless vitality with sharp spatial forces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The emerald essence of Wood Qi surged like a breached river, violently scouring his limbs and bones, nourishing every inch of his flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the silver spatial forces acted like countless razor-sharp scalpels, slicing and tearing through his meridians and organs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One side was ultimate life; the other, ultimate destruction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Intense agony instantly swept through every nerve of Su Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His physical form, caught between these two forces, began frantic destruction and reconstruction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His skin cracked inch by inch, oozing golden blood—but the wounds healed instantly under the torrent of vitality, becoming even tougher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Chen held fast to a single point of clarity in his spiritual altar, teeth clenched, letting the soul-rending pain rage within him, yet feeling neither sorrow nor joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He activated the method of the *Hunyuan Jin Dan Zhen Jie*.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The golden core within him, hovering between illusion and reality, began spinning wildly, generating a tremendous suction that, like a whale drinking the sea, continuously drew in the violent energy torrent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The golden core was the foundation of his Dao—and his only recourse at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He carefully divided his spiritual sense: half guided the vast Wood essence, following the *Hunyuan Jin Dan Zhen Jie* to irrigate and nourish the golden core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other half immersed itself entirely in the savage spatial forces, seeking to comprehend, to understand, to endure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was an extraordinarily perilous process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His soul felt as if trapped in a spatial storm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless truths of space shattered into billions of fragments, violently assaulting his understanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Secrets of spatial folding, methods of dimensional transit, the ability to contain the universe within a mustard seed…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These insights were too advanced, too profound—he could not fully grasp them at his current realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Chen knew his limits; he did not greedily pursue understanding, but held to his true heart, refusing to force comprehension, instead forcibly imprinting the “form” and “meaning” of these insights deep into his soul, like a child who cannot read, meticulously copying every stroke of a text he does not understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would decipher them later, when his cultivation advanced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time slipped away quietly in this tedious and agonizing assimilation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spring passed, autumn came; cold arrived, heat departed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the mustard-seed space, Su Chen himself had become like a statue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His aura fluctuated—sometimes blazing like a furnace, sometimes faint as a candle in the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the first year, he finally drew all the Wood essence into his golden core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His golden core grew radiant, its emerald light swirling as if nurturing a world brimming with vitality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the second year, he began attempting to organize and guide the spatial forces still raging within him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This process was a hundred times harder than assimilating the Wood essence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body underwent no fewer than a thousand cycles of collapse and reconstruction that year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each time, he teetered on the edge of life and death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the third year, a wondrous change occurred in Su Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body no longer resisted the spatial forces; instead, it began to willingly accept and fuse with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every inch of his flesh, every particle, seemed infused with a trace of spatial properties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On this day, Su Chen’s eyes, closed for three years, suddenly flew open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two brilliant streaks of silver light flashed from his eyes, and the void before him split into two fine black fissures that refused to heal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Boom!*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His golden core emitted a deep, earth-shattering roar, like the splitting of heaven and earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The golden core, once still tinged with illusion, now became utterly real.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It resembled a star—dense, solid, radiating an aura of indestructible eternity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Five Elements’ Wood reached perfection!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the immense power of Yang Mei’s remnant, Su Chen’s golden core finally completed its transformation from illusion to reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His cultivation base naturally ascended to the Human Immortal realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this was not the greatest surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Chen gazed inward at his golden core and saw that, upon its perfectly round surface, beside the original Wood Dao inscription, a brand-new Dao inscription had appeared!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a silver-white inscription, its strokes twisted and profoundly mysterious, as if woven from countless tiny spatial runes, radiating a unique resonance beyond the Five Elements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Spatial Dao Inscription!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahaha…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Chen could no longer contain his ecstatic joy—he let out a long, triumphant roar to the heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had not only achieved his goal—perfecting Wood—but had, through misfortune, gained fortune: a trace of the Spatial Dao’s mark had been imprinted upon his golden core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meant that from now on, he could not only wield basic spatial techniques, but more importantly, his future Dao path had gained a new avenue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slowly rose to his feet. His physique had not changed, but his entire demeanor had undergone a revolutionary transformation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a single thought, his form blurred in place—and the next instant, he stood a hundred zhang away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Condensing distance into a single step!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had mastered this spatial technique without a teacher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Three years of seclusion—like a single dream,” Su Chen exhaled deeply, feeling better than ever before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He bowed again toward the depths of this chaotic space, thanking Grand Immortal Zhenyuan for his protection, and Grand Immortal Yang Mei for his gift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, with a thought, he instantly returned to the outside world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wanshou Mountain, back courtyard of Wuzhuang Temple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Su Chen emerged, he heard two young Daoist acolytes arguing in the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qingfeng, how come this Daoist hasn’t come out yet? Could he be sleeping inside?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t talk nonsense! Master said this place is a self-contained world—where one instant outside might equal a hundred years inside. We just wait patiently.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But it’s so boring! Master really shouldn’t have left us with this chore just to visit a friend…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he finished speaking, Mingyue looked up and saw Su Chen walking out—he froze, his complaints stuck in his throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Chen looked at the two boys and smiled. He stepped forward and bowed respectfully: “My fellow Daoists, I have completed my task. I shall take my leave.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qingfeng quickly returned the bow, about to speak some polite words, when Mingyue blinked his big eyes, leaned forward, sniffed at Su Chen’s body, and asked curiously: “Daoist Wuchen, why do you feel so strange?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Chen was startled—this child had remarkably sharp perception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smiled, offered no explanation, and withdrew two small trinkets collected from the mortal world from his sleeve, handing them to the boys.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have caused you much trouble. These small trinkets are insignificant gifts—please accept them as tokens of my gratitude.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qingfeng was about to refuse, but Mingyue snatched them eagerly, holding them in his hands with delight: “Thank you, Daoist!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Chen bowed once more to the two, then turned and walked away without further delay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching his departing figure, Qingfeng stroked his chin, thoughtfully saying to Mingyue: “I feel… this Daoist is different from when he first entered.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1267,"2026-06-21T05:42:07.836Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","a2d40533b3016f5851f1bb654f609f338e613e98f2937eb4d5cb4b8eb12c2a4f","i-m-invincible-and-you-tell-me-this-is-journey-t-chapter-30","i-m-invincible-and-you-tell-me-this-is-journey-t-chapter-28",470,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-invincible-and-you-tell-me-this-is-journey-t-cover.jpg"]
