like soft white jade, containing extremely pure spiritual energy and emitting bright and gentle white light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding air also rippled with a sense of tranquility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen held the Spiritual Essence, and the pure spiritual energy flowed into his body like a torrent, eventually entering his Dantian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, the Nascent Soul in Lin Chen’s Dantian had completely changed its appearance, becoming incredibly solid and no longer as weak as before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Nascent Soul was extremely fragile and could only reside in a cultivator’s Dantian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were separated from the body, it would quickly dissipate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, when a cultivator entered the Void Refinement Stage, the Nascent Soul would transform into a Primordial Spirit, which could exist independently without dissipating and even possess considerable fighting power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Spiritual Essence had a significant effect on the advancement of cultivators, but Lin Chen had already entered the god-transformation stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spiritual energy required for promotion was at least ten times more than that during the Nascent Soul Stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen absorbed the spiritual energy of the Spiritual Essence very quickly, consuming one Spiritual Essence in just three days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While cultivating, Lin Chen waited for news from Yelü Yuan and Gao Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t in a hurry, as cultivating anywhere was still cultivating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half a year passed in a blink of an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen had absorbed all fifty pieces of Spiritual Essence, greatly increasing the amount of spiritual energy in his Dantian, making his Primordial Spirit increasingly solid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it seemed there was still a slight gap to reach the mid-stage of god transformation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen couldn’t help but sigh, the advancement was truly difficult after entering the god-transformation stage!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cultivators sought after a single piece of Spiritual Essence, yet he had snatched fifty all at once, and surprisingly, he still hadn’t crossed a single level!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder cultivators who advanced a level after entering the god-transformation stage often took decades, as advancing solely by absorbing Spirit Stones or Heavenly Earthly Spiritual Qi was as slow as a crawling turtle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Lin Chen lamented, Yelü Yuan and Gao Yi returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the two entered the cave and saw Lin Chen, their expressions were immediately filled with surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Lin Chen was cultivating, he hadn’t hidden his breath, so the two easily felt the difference between Lin Chen now and when they last met.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen had grown stronger!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Significantly stronger!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yi asked in surprise, “Have you reached the mid-stage of god transformation?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen said with a bitter smile, “No, the difficulty of advancement is much greater than I imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I feel like I’m just a little bit off.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yi asked in amazement, “How did you cultivate?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your progress is so fast!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s only been half a year since we left!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fifty pieces of Spiritual Essence.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen candidly replied, “I snatched them from the Ancient Mining Field and used them all up, but still didn’t advance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yi gasped, “Spiritual Essence?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s a product of the demon race’s territory, cultivators can’t get their hands on it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s rare to find one, yet you snatched fifty!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen said with a laugh, “I got lucky and happened to be at the right place at the right time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yi laughed bitterly, “No wonder you’re the Human Emperor!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With your advancement speed, I’m afraid it won’t be long before you reach the Hollow Void Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By then, there won’t be many opponents in the world who can stand against you…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen laughed and said, “That’s not necessarily true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are so many powerful people in this world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I always wonder how they are so strong without being in the Tribulation Crossing Period or immortals, but possess power far beyond the Hollow Void Realm…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yi replied, “The people you are talking about are not from this era, but from ancient times, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen nodded his head, looking at Gao Yi with anticipation, “Yes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yi asked, “Can you tell me who it is?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen candidly replied, “The Immortal Slave from the Valley of Death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, she’s considered a Half Immortal, so her being more powerful than those in the Hollow Void Realm is understandable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then, I encountered an old woman who claimed to be the Demon Ancestor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was very strong and couldn’t be suppressed even by the Emperor’s Seal…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Demon Ancestor?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yi’s expression changed as he stared straight at Lin Chen, “You’ve seen her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A living Demon Ancestor?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen nodded, “Yes, she was sleeping in a black stone coffin, and I saw the Red Dragon King and others reviving her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were very respectful and called her the Demon Ancestor…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yi’s expression was extremely solemn, “The Demon Ancestor has been resurrected?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is extremely bad news for the Human Clan!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen inquired, “Brother Yi, do you know the origin of the Demon Ancestor?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen had asked Nalan Wushuang about the Demon Ancestor’s origin before, but Nalan Wushuang had also said she was unclear about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had only followed the Demon Emperor’s orders to resurrect the Demon Ancestor in the underground tomb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yi replied, “I’ve studied various ancient records and have a better understanding of ancient times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Demon Ancestor is an honorary title given to her by the demon race, not a level of cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her real title is the Great Witch.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Great Witch?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen was puzzled, “What level of cultivator is the Great Witch?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s not in the hierarchy of cultivatior levels, is it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yi laughed bitterly, “Of course not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you understand the chronological order, you won’t find it strange.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen blinked, his expression shocked as he understood the implicit meaning in Gao Yi’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You mean…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the existence of the Great Witch predates the establishment of the Cultivator’s strength hierarchy?”\u003C\u002Fp>",986,"2026-06-06T01:51:59.243Z",1,"novelbin.me","d52594f4fc1c583b0ef1dbe886b0700a766168258b065003cbebe3b3be89d088","urban-peerless-expert-chapter-1060","urban-peerless-expert-chapter-1058",4071,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Furban-peerless-expert-cover.jpg"]
