Chapter 820

This matter was something Zhao Qinglian told him happily.

She held almost nothing back from him, even telling him her own innate talent.

Xu Chen couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

This kind of ability was truly awesome.

Too bad he didn't have it himself, otherwise what would there be to fear.

"Zhao Qinglian's trial is quite hard to pass.

The second time I met Zhao Qinglian was at this trial.

Back then, this girl saw me as if she didn't recognize me at all.

Only later did I understand that she was being controlled by that dog author, stripped of her freedom.

Within the plot, she could only follow the storyline and couldn't make any extra moves.

Outside the plot, in places the dog author didn't describe, she could exercise a little control.

But even outside the plot, she couldn't act recklessly.

Because she couldn't do anything that would affect the original plot.

Even if she wanted to, she couldn't — this world's Heavenly Dao would stop and control her.

Everything must proceed exactly according to the original plot."

Having thought it through, Xu Chen stretched lazily.

Logically speaking, he had just become a Great Emperor.

He should immediately go out in the form of a Spirit Soul Body.

Soon, he would run into Zhao Qinglian.

But then again, he felt there was no need this life.

Not going probably wouldn't be a big problem.

After all, whether he met Zhao Qinglian or not had nothing to do with the original plot.

So he directly asked the system:

"System, if I don't go out now, it should be fine, right?"

The system replied: "No problem, it won't affect the original plot."

Xu Chen shrugged — sure enough, no problem.

This was just a plotline that happened between him and Zhao Qinglian in the previous life.

It could be said it didn't affect the original text at all.

Things even that dog author didn't know about.

Whether he went or not was no longer important.

Therefore, Xu Chen planned to stay right here in Wangmu Immortal Palace and continue cultivating.

"I broke through by taking a huge amount of Pills, so my Spiritual Qi must be unstable.

I should still stabilize my foundation — unstable Spiritual Qi isn't good at all.

Wait until the Spiritual Qi is stabilized, then continue cultivating."

After saying that, Xu Chen closed his eyes again.

This time he closed them for nearly a whole year.

Through that year, Xu Chen completely stabilized his foundation.

Moreover, his realm rose to Great Emperor Second Heaven.

This was without taking any medicine, after completely digesting the Spirit Medicine energy within his body.

That's right — a year ago he had eaten too many Pills, so the energy definitely hadn't been fully absorbed.

During this year, he wasn't in any rush.

While stabilizing his realm, he also fully absorbed the Pill energy.

Then, naturally and steadily, he advanced to Martial Emperor Second Heaven.

This terrifying speed, if outsiders learned of it,

would surely make their jaws drop.

Because this speed was simply too fast.

Fast enough to be absolutely shocking.

"I still have a large amount of Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure in hand — I'll continue refining Pills to break through."

Xu Chen said with great interest.

After speaking, he took out all of his Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure.

Then, after analyzing them for a bit, he began refining Pills.

What he refined this time were the top-grade Extreme Pills, at the Great Emperor level.

In an instant, thunder rumbled across the sky, and energy grew dense.

Like dark clouds pressing down on a city — the oppressive feeling was immense.

Xu Chen's face showed no fear.

After all, he had seen this kind of scene countless times in his previous life — it was nothing.

Soon, after absorbing the lightning, he successfully finished refining the Pills.

Roughly several dozen Pills.

Some were for direct breakthroughs, some for increasing cultivation speed.

Then, Xu Chen directly swallowed all 960 in one gulp.

Soon, Xu Chen's aura kept rising, swiftly reaching the Great Emperor Third Heaven.

Moreover, the medicinal power had not yet been fully consumed and was still continuing.

But Xu Chen was not in a hurry, planning to cultivate slowly.

After all, there were still two years until the next major plot occurred.

He slowly absorbed the energy while stabilizing his Spiritual Qi aura.

In an instant, his entire body was like a sculpture, motionless.

However, a faint light emanated from within his body.

At the same time, Spiritual Qi continuously surged into his body from outside.

The two years swiftly passed.

Soon, Xu Chen's aura rose again.

He shot straight from the Great Emperor Third Heaven to the peak of the Great Emperor Fifth Heaven.

This was the result of Xu Chen not deliberately pursuing realms.

If he had purely pursued realms, he would likely already be at the Great Emperor Seventh Heaven.

But then the Spiritual Qi would inevitably be extremely unstable.

Therefore, he did not act impulsively.

In just three short years, he had already reached this realm.

This already counted as rapid advancement.

"Not bad."

Xu Chen clenched his fist and said with satisfaction.

He discovered his Divine Soul had risen again, and his power had also surged simultaneously.

His Undying Dao could now evolve toward the direction of the Undying Law.
