EFB Chapter 1 Mid-stage Core Formation, Crimson Extreme Realm!
Chapter 1 Mid-stage Core Formation, Crimson Extreme Realm!
Vermilion Bird Star, within the territory of the Fire-Burning Kingdom.
Luohe Gate, a cave dwelling somewhere inside the gate
Inside the cave, spiritual energy swirled like mist, permeating the four walls.
On the central prayer mat, a person sat cross-legged, eyes slightly closed, hands slowly forming a mudra in front of him.
As his fingers flew across the page, the surrounding spiritual energy seemed to be drawn towards him, gradually condensing into a visible white stream of energy that flowed into his body through his mouth, nose, and pores.
The next moment, a muffled rumble suddenly came from his body.
His aura suddenly surged, and the spiritual energy within the cave instantly became chaotic, transforming into an invisible whirlwind that made his robes flutter loudly.
The momentum kept rising until it reached a certain critical point!
boom!
A muffled thud, as if some constraint had been completely broken.
The spiritual energy surged for a moment, then gradually subsided.
The man exhaled a deep breath, the breath lingering for several breaths before slowly stopping.
"call……"
Chu Yuan opened his eyes, a flash of brilliance in them disappearing in an instant before he regained his composure.
Feeling the spiritual power within him nearly twice as strong as before, a faint smile appeared on his lips.
"Finally broke through, late stage of Foundation Establishment."
His voice wasn't loud, but it carried a calmness born of experience.
I have been in this world for over fifty years.
Through the changing seasons, spring has turned to autumn, and the mortal who once knew nothing about cultivation has now reached this point.
That's right, Chu Yuan is a time traveler.
In his past life, he was just an ordinary young man who had just graduated from university. He had no great ambitions or special skills, and his greatest pleasure was playing video games in his rented room.
That day, he was playing intensely when a large red elbow suddenly appeared on the screen, kicking his character out of the game.
He was so angry that his vision went black, and when he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a completely unfamiliar world.
It took him some time to finally figure out what was going on.
This world is familiar to him.
It wasn't just familiar; this world was the very world he had read in his previous life: "Xian Ni" (Against the Gods).
The area where he was located was the Fire-Burning Kingdom, within the territory of Luohe Gate, which was mentioned in the original work.
He was excited for quite a while when he first learned about it.
Wang Mazi and Wang Lin are future experts at the Heavenly Realm. If we could get on their good side, wouldn't it be easy to live for nine lifetimes and roam the world freely?
However, as time went by, this excitement was gradually worn away by reality.
What Wang Mazi?
What do you mean by sucking up to someone's leg?
If he doesn't work hard to cultivate, with his mortal body, he won't be around for long before he turns to dust, and he might not even see Wang Lin's face, let alone climb the social ladder.
Having figured this out, he completely abandoned those unrealistic ideas and officially embarked on the path of immortality.
After several twists and turns, he joined the Luohe Sect and became an outer disciple.
Fortunately, he has decent talent. Although he is not exceptionally gifted, he is not dull either. With the support of the sect's resources, he has progressed step by step from Qi Condensation to Foundation Establishment, and now to the late stage of Foundation Establishment.
Fifty years.
Fifty years of arduous cultivation earned him a lifespan of two hundred years.
"Speaking of which..."
"Where's my cheat code?"
Having traversed fifty years, he has met many people and heard many stories.
Think about those time travelers. Some were born with innate spiritual roots, while others had numerous fortuitous encounters and magical treasures. But he had nothing. He could only rely on his stubbornness to move forward step by step.
Sometimes he wonders if God has forgotten about him.
However, after so many years, he has come to terms with it.
Having a cheat code is a blessing, but not having one is normal; you can't stop living just because you don't have one.
Today should be the day when those disciples who went to the battlefields beyond the realms return home, right?
As Chu Yuan was thinking, a voice suddenly rang in his mind without warning.
"Ding! The system has been activated. The protagonist, Wang Lin, has arrived at this map."
The voice was cold and harsh, devoid of any emotion, yet it struck him like a thunderclap.
Chu Yuan froze.
His pupils suddenly contracted, his breathing paused, and his brain seemed to freeze for a moment, going completely blank.
Immediately afterwards, an uncontrollable surge of ecstasy welled up from the bottom of my heart, like a flood bursting its banks, instantly overwhelming all reason.
system.
system!
He suddenly stood up, his lips moved a few times, and finally turned into a low growl.
"Damn it, you finally came!"
"Do you know how I've spent the last fifty years?"
Although Chu Yuan was growling, his heart was already filled with wild joy.
He took a few deep breaths, trying to calm himself down, but his wildly beating heart just wouldn't obey him.
Alright! Anyway, the cheat code has finally arrived.
He suddenly frowned, a doubt rising in his heart. Could it be that he was too obsessed with the golden finger, to the point that he had developed a mental demon, and everything just now was just an illusion?
He quickly closed his eyes and focused his mind, probing his inner self with his divine sense, carefully sensing every meridian and every inch of his dantian.
A moment later, he opened his eyes, his doubts vanished, replaced by a bright light.
It's not a demon in my heart, it's real.
"system."
He suppressed his excitement and tried to call out in his mind.
"What use are you?"
The cold, electronic voice rang out again, devoid of any emotion, yet each word was clear and distinct.
"This system is the 'Higher Realm' system. As long as the host and the protagonist Wang Lin are on the same map, the host can instantly acquire a cultivation level one realm higher than Wang Lin's."
Chu Yuan's pupils contracted slightly, and his heartbeat quickened a few more beats.
A realm higher? A realm higher than Wang Lin? Wang Lin is the protagonist! If someone is a realm higher than him, wouldn't that mean they're destined to be invincible!
He suppressed his shock and pressed on, "Then why didn't you show up before?"
"The host and the protagonist Wang Lin are not on the same map."
Chu Yuan was slightly taken aback, then murmured, "Is that so..."
For fifty years, Wang Lin had been away from the Fire Burning Kingdom, and the system had been dormant until today, when the disciples who went to the outer battlefields returned, and Wang Lin arrived as well.
No wonder.
"it is good."
He didn't ask any more questions. In any case, from this moment on, everything was different.
As soon as I finished speaking, the voice in my mind rang out again.
"Ding, the protagonist Wang Lin's current cultivation level has been detected: mid-Foundation Establishment stage. The host's synchronized cultivation level is: mid-Core Formation stage."
"Ding, protagonist Wang Lin's extreme divine sense has been detected. Host synchronization: Crimson Extreme Divine Sense."
boom!!!
Before he finished speaking, a vast and incomparable spiritual energy suddenly descended from the sky, as if an invisible hand had torn through the void, capturing all the spiritual energy in the world and pouring it into Chu Yuan's body.
The spiritual energy was so dense that it almost solidified, transforming into a visible white pillar of light that pierced through the cave and soared into the sky.
The spiritual energy of the entire Luohe Sect surged at that moment, and the spiritual energy within a radius of dozens of miles seemed to be summoned, rushing madly towards this cave.
Amidst the surging spiritual energy, a faint whistling sound could be heard.
