Chapter 8: Ten Years, Stronger and More Handsome

Time flowed by.

In the blink of an eye, another six years had passed, and Chu Wuchen was now eight years old.

Eight years old.

Still a child, perhaps. But this world was different from others. The eight-year-old Chu Wuchen already looked like a young boy, no different from a twelve or thirteen-year-old.

He had reached the Enlightenment Realm.

Enlightenment Realm.

This realm involved opening the seven hundred and twenty acupoints in the body.

Among them, fifty-two single acupoints, three hundred and nine double acupoints, and fifty extraordinary acupoints.

Now, Chu Wuchen had opened over six hundred acupoints. When he looked inward at his body, each acupoint seemed like a world, glowing brightly.

This path was nearly complete.

Eight years old.

Reaching the Enlightenment Realm.

This was truly remarkable.

However, compared to his previous breakthrough in the Body Refinement Realm, this progress seemed much slower.

But over the past few years, his focus had been entirely on developing his Double Pupil, Supreme Bone, and the immortal blood within his body.

...

At this moment.

The young Chu Wuchen sat cross-legged on the ground, his posture solemn, his long hair dancing wildly.

His body was crystalline, radiating light, with a divine aura enveloping him.

His presence was formidable.

Although he was only in the Enlightenment Realm, he could easily kill a Soul Condensation Realm being with a single punch.

Boom!

Suddenly, a strange sound echoed.

The void around Chu Wuchen trembled, as if something was about to happen.

Crack!

Crack!!

The void seemed to shatter, revealing a chaotic scene behind it, like another world.

The land was desolate and scarred.

It appeared as if it had just experienced a cataclysmic battle, everything in ruins.

At this moment.

A massive celestial sword descended from the sky.

It had no runes, no divine patterns, not even divine light—just this sword.

The entire world seemed to consist of only this sword.

It pierced the heavens and earth.

Not only did it possess unparalleled sharpness that could tear through the wilderness, but it also had a crushing weight and oppressive aura, like an ancient immortal mountain descending.

Heaven and Earth Sword!

In the distance, a figure emerged.

It was the Ninth Ancestor.

Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but smile.

This was the final vision of the Double Pupil.

Heaven and Earth Sword!

Chu Wuchen had finally unlocked it.

Boom!

Suddenly, another divine light burst from Chu Wuchen's body, transforming into a terrifying sight.

Before the heavens and earth formed, there was chaos. And from this chaos emerged a pair of terrifying eyes that opened the world.

Double Pupil Opening Heaven!

This was the first vision.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Four more visions followed in quick succession.

Stars Extinguished, Three Thousand Divine Kingdoms, Deities Worshipping, Dusk of the Saints.

Combined with Heaven and Earth Sword and Double Pupil Opening Heaven.

Six great visions emerged, filling the entire space, dominating everything.

Boom!

At this moment.

Chu Wuchen's eyes snapped open, shining intensely, with chaotic energy swirling within.

This chaotic energy was crystalline.

It was so dense it seemed like waves, overflowing from his eye sockets.

Surrounded by six great visions, with chaotic energy flowing around him.

At this moment, Chu Wuchen seemed like an unparalleled divine being.

Boom!

Boom!

The six great visions shifted.

They shrank, revolving around Chu Wuchen, almost merging into one.

They formed something akin to the Six Paths of Reincarnation, capable of annihilating everything in the world.

"Haha!!"

The Ninth Ancestor couldn't help but laugh as he watched.

It was a laugh of satisfaction. He had been watching over Chu Wuchen since he was young.

...

Another four years passed, and Chu Wuchen was now twelve.

At present.

He had reached the Soul Condensation Realm, successfully forming a nascent soul that could separate from his body.

This meant he had nearly completed this major realm.

The next realm would be the Dragon Transformation Realm.

Over these four years, and even the six years before that, his progress through the realms had been slow.

After all, these were merely the first four realms on the path of cultivation. With Chu Wuchen's talent, if he wanted to rush, he could have gone from the Body Refinement Realm to the Soul Condensation Realm in a year. Not ten years.

However, looking at the long term.

The speed of initial realm progression meant little in the grand scheme of a long cultivation journey.

Over the ten years.

Chu Wuchen's focus had been on unlocking the mysteries of his Double Pupil, Supreme Bone, and the immortal blood within him.

And, as much as possible, solidifying his foundation, including both his physical body and nascent soul.

Now.

Not only had he unlocked the six great visions of the Double Pupil:

Double Pupil Opening Heaven, Stars Extinguished, Three Thousand Divine Kingdoms, Deities Worshipping, Dusk of the Saints, Heaven and Earth Sword.

He had also unlocked two profound abilities of the Supreme Bone:

Power of the Supreme, Power of Reincarnation.

And the immortal blood inherited from the Chu family, awakening it, enabling him to summon an ancient battle immortal.

Splash!

The sound of flowing water.

Chu Wuchen, bare-chested, continued to cultivate in an immortal pool, gazing at his reflection in the water.

What he saw was a handsome, elegant, and dashing face.

In ten years, he had become stronger and more handsome.

More handsome than in any of his previous three lifetimes.

He was like a jade-like deity, immortal and beautiful, as if a true immortal had descended.

Among all the people Chu Wuchen had seen, only his father, Chu Changxian, could compare.

No.

Chu Changxian wasn't quite as handsome, just a bit less.

"Sigh, such loneliness!"

He sighed.

Chu Wuchen indeed felt very lonely. For ten years, he had been cultivating nonstop.

He had only occasionally seen the Ninth Ancestor a few times.

He had often wanted to go out.

This world was vast, prosperous, and resplendent. He wanted to explore it.

But.

The Ninth Ancestor wouldn't let him go.

His cultivation was not yet complete; he had to solidify his nascent soul foundation before he could venture out.

Sigh!

Back to cultivating.

Chu Wuchen didn't argue. He knew that everything the Ninth Ancestor did was for his own good.

On second thought, in his previous two lifetimes, he had dreamed of such treatment.

Be content!

The Ninth Ancestor had expended countless resources on him. If this were known, it would surely scare people to death.

But there was no helping it. This was the Eternal Chu Family.

A top-tier immortal power.

Would they lack resources?

No!

Chu Wuchen also remembered the Ninth Ancestor mentioning once that the Chu family had four young prodigies.

The first prodigy was a monster.

The Chu family had also invested immense effort in him.

The second, third, and fourth prodigies, as well as the successors beyond the four, likely consumed many resources as well.

...

Outside.

In the Luotian Immortal Domain, Daluotian.

A vast and boundless land, teeming with countless beings, where myriad races competed for supremacy.

In addition, there were extensive uninhabited areas, fraught with dangers, seldom ventured into.

Every day, countless stories unfolded, confined to individual cities and clans.

But today, an unexpected event shook the entire Daluotian.

And.

Not just Daluotian.

But also the Three Thousand Dao Prefectures, and the Underworld.

This was the entire Luotian Immortal Domain!

The Tianjiao List had descended!
