Check in! The Chaotic Imperial Sutra has been obtained!
Qin Chen was utterly astonished.
The Chaotic Holy Body!
He had actually acquired the most supreme physique in the entire universe!
It was the divine body of a peerless emperor from a bygone era – the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor.
Legends tell of the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor, who was invincible throughout his life, effortlessly overcoming any foe. Should a god stand in his path, he would slay the god. If a Buddha appeared, he would vanquish the Buddha.
During his reign, all divine beings, demons, and Buddhas, both from ancient times and the present, fell before him.
Commander of the Heavens, Revered Across All Realms! This title perfectly encapsulated the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor.
He stood as one of history's most formidable great emperors – the Heavenly Emperor!
And the Chaotic Holy Body remained the undisputed number one physique from antiquity to the present day.
This unique body was fabled to be unparalleled in the cosmos, naturally capable of refining myriad Daos. With dedicated cultivation, its wielder could shatter records at an astonishing pace, traverse vast distances in mere moments, and breach the limitations of various realms, ultimately ascending to godhood and challenging the heavens themselves!
Qin Chen had never fathoms that the imprints on that very spot belonged to the legendary Chaotic Heavenly Emperor.
What was even more astounding was that he would no longer possess a mortal body, but the fabled Chaotic Holy Body.
While he was still processing this revelation, Qin Chen felt an indescribably mysterious, clear current surge into his being. Soon after, his entire body underwent a profound transformation. In an instant, his physical form seemed infused with boundless power.
It had been metamorphosed into the Chaotic Holy Body!
However, a new concern arose for Qin Chen: despite possessing the Chaotic Holy Body, its immense power came with a greater cultivation challenge. He would require a compatible sutra to truly unlock the Chaotic Holy Body's full potential.
Should he attempt to cultivate ordinary sutras, he would merely squander the Chaotic Holy Body's gift, resulting in a mediocre foundation, incapable of reaching the absolute pinnacle of cultivation.
“What a shame. If only the Chaotic Imperial Sutra had been provided as well, it would be a perfect match for the Chaotic Holy Body when cultivated together.”
Qin Chen felt a pang of regret. The Chaotic Imperial Sutra was indeed the most suitable cultivation technique. It was an imperial sutra meticulously crafted by the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor himself specifically for the Chaotic Holy Body, designed to maximize its inherent potential and facilitate a smooth foundation establishment.
Yet, it was not within his grasp. He would have to seek out alternative sutras for his cultivation journey.
Of course, he pondered, if he were to check in again, might he then obtain the corresponding Chaotic Imperial Sutra?
BOOM!
The very instant Qin Chen acquired the Chaotic Holy Body, the great emperor's footprints etched upon the cliff face erupted with a blinding radiance that pierced the heavens.
It was as if a supreme emperor had manifested on that very spot.
The phenomenon sent tremors through the entirety of the Taiyi Holy Land, and the overwhelming pressure caused every disciple, regardless of age or cultivation, to freeze in place. Their gazes collectively turned towards the cliff in awe, murmuring, “This pressure… It originates from the cliff. Could those truly be the imprints left by an ancient great emperor?”
Only Qin Chen remained mobile. As the emperor's pressure manifested, he felt his body undergo a miraculous metamorphosis, his very blood surging with vitality.
Crackle, crackle.
Every bone and sinew in his body trembled, undergoing a profound purification.
After a considerable duration, a thick, pungent substance began to exude from Qin Chen's entire body. He recognized this as the impurities being purged from his system, leaving him feeling remarkably revitalized and refreshed.
This remarkable cleansing was likely a result of the resonance between his newly acquired Chaotic Holy Body and the residual energy within the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor's footprints.
Feeling a profound sense of discomfort from the residual effects, Qin Chen departed the area swiftly.
He felt significantly lighter and no longer burdened by exhaustion compared to his arrival. The journey back to his quarters took less than two hours.
Not long afterward, the celestial phenomenon subsided, and all returned to a state of normalcy.
A contingent of Taiyi Holy Land's elite cultivators, spearheaded by the Holy Lord himself, hastened to the cliff where the emperor's footprints were located. They found no one present and were perplexed as to why the ancient great emperor's imprints had spontaneously activated.
Fortunately, it was merely a fleeting echo of the great emperor's majesty; otherwise, the Taiyi Holy Land would have been utterly unable to withstand its might.
Once the phenomenon had vanished, the Holy Lord, along with the elders and other high-ranking officials of the holy land, meticulously examined the footprints for an extended period, but to no avail. Ultimately, they were compelled to withdraw, finding no answers.
They could never have conceived that the cause behind the activation of the emperor's footprint phenomenon was a humble disciple whose duty was merely to sweep the grounds.
Upon returning to his quarters and undergoing a cleansing bath, Qin Chen began to assess the newfound strength coursing through his veins.
With no one else nearby, he cast his gaze upon a colossal rock, easily the size of a house. Gripping it firmly with both hands, he managed to lift it into the air, a testament to his astonishing physical prowess.
Though he had been practicing martial arts, it had primarily honed his physical conditioning. Back then, this granted him considerable strength, but now, that strength had amplified more than tenfold.
And this was all prior to any actual cultivation. The Chaotic Holy Body possessed innate divine strength. Once cultivation commenced, his physical power would escalate at an even more breathtaking velocity.
The following day, Qin Chen discreetly returned to the location bearing the emperor’s mark. After confirming his solitude, he silently addressed the system, “I wish to check in here!”
BOOM!
The phenomenon manifested once more!
[Congratulations, you have successfully checked in. You have received the Chaotic Imperial Sutra as a reward!”]
Within his mind, a divine tome materialized. As he unfurled its initial page, a profound sutra passage instantly appeared, rapidly etching itself into his consciousness.
The Chaotic Imperial Sutra had entered Qin Chen’s awareness. He was astounded, finding it hard to believe he had acquired the legendary Chaotic Imperial Sutra on his second check-in.
This was an immortal imperial sutra, a creation of the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor, unparalleled throughout history. It was a sutra specifically designed for the Chaotic Holy Body.
His first check-in had bestowed upon him the Chaotic Holy Body.
His second check-in yielded the Chaotic Imperial Sutra.
It felt as though fate had orchestrated everything precisely for him!
Qin Chen suppressed the urge to immediately cultivate, as the imperial light had reappeared. Anything could transpire at any moment, and he shouldn't linger too long.
Furthermore, he was uncertain of the consequences of cultivating the Chaotic Imperial Sutra with the Chaotic Holy Body. It would be considerably safer to return to his quarters before commencing.
Long after Qin Chen departed, the Holy Lord and a retinue of elders appeared at the site. Although the phenomenon had dissipated, its occurrence on two consecutive days had naturally sparked considerable curiosity.
Could this be an omen of the ancient great emperor’s relic about to emerge?
After all, the advent of a relic was typically preceded by unusual phenomena.
Not to mention, the reason behind the ancient great emperor’s deliberate placement of those specific footprints remained an enigma.
Soon after, Qin Chen reached his lodging and located a secluded spot, an area seldom frequented by sect members in recent years. He then commenced his cultivation.
As he eagerly began to practice the Chaotic Imperial Sutra, he encountered an unexpected obstacle. Despite vigorous spiritual energy flowing into his body, he found himself incapable of breaching the initial human body cultivation realm – Yiyuan, no matter his efforts.
Within the Canglan Continent’s immortal cultivation system, the realms were delineated as: Yiyuan, Liangyi, Sancai, Sixiang, Wuxing, Liuhe, Qiyao, Bahuang, Jiutian, and Shifang. Each of these realms was further subdivided into nine heavenly levels.
To cultivate effectively, one must first enter the Yiyuan Realm, thereby establishing a divine sea within the body.
This divine sea resided within the Dantian, requiring it to be opened and expanded, transforming it into a reservoir capable of storing divine power.
Qin Chen quickly grasped the issue. The Chaotic Holy Body was simply too extraordinary. To successfully open his Dantian and form a divine sea, an immense quantity of spiritual energy was necessitated.
Without it, even with the Chaotic Imperial Sutra, he would be unable to establish his divine sea.
But where could he possibly acquire such vast amounts of spiritual energy? The only plausible locations were the immortal caves inhabited by high-ranking individuals within the holy land itself. However, he was strictly forbidden from ever setting foot there.
The most viable alternative was to seek out spirit stones.
Spirit stones, originating from the crystallization of heaven and earth’s spiritual energy, contained substantial reserves of this energy.
Qin Chen harbored concerns regarding this. The Taiyi Holy Land had suffered a prolonged decline. Unlike other holy lands, ancient aristocratic clans, and ancient dynasties, which possessed extensive spirit mines, the Taiyi Holy Land currently held only a meager number of spirit mines. Furthermore, these mines were relatively infertile, yielding a low annual output.
Many Elders themselves received only a limited allocation of spirit stones. For a mere handyman disciple like him, the prospect of receiving any spirit stones was virtually nonexistent.
Qin Chen was deeply troubled. He had undergone a transformation, shedding his mortal form, yet he remained unable to cultivate.
At this juncture, Qin Chen could only place his hope on earning spirit stones through check-ins at various other locations within the Taiyi Holy Land.
The ensuing day, Qin Chen decided to check in at a different location. The emperor’s mark had exhibited activity for two consecutive days, undoubtedly drawing the attention of Taiyi Holy Land’s numerous high-ranking officials. It was inadvisable to attempt another check-in so soon. Consequently, he proceeded towards a grand hall within the Taiyi Holy Land.
A vast and splendid hall stood before him, the Main Hall of the Taiyi Holy Land. Revered by Holy Lords through countless generations, its divine aura was undeniable. Furthermore, during his days sweeping the floors, Qin Chen frequently delved into the library's ancient texts. He understood that the Taiyi Main Hall's location was meticulously chosen. The founder of the Taiyi Holy Land had specifically selected this spot for its construction, burying dragon vessels and intersecting numerous spirit vessels deep beneath the earth – a truly extraordinary place. During the Taiyi Holy Land's peak, successive Holy Lords had utilized the Taiyi Main Hall as their primary cultivation site. Now, in its decline, the dragon vessels were long gone, and the spirit vessels had largely depleted. Yet, by checking in at such a spiritually rich location, he had a high probability of acquiring treasures like spirit stones. [The system has detected a potent divinity within this area. Would you like to check in at the Taiyi Main Hall?] [Note: This location can be checked into multiple times!] The system's confirmation bolstered his own suspicions. Checking in here was imperative. “System, I wish to check in!” Qin Chen voiced his command silently within his mind. [Congratulations, you have successfully checked in. You have obtained a Divine Spirit Source!]
