Chapter 587: Heavenly Spiritual Body

Heavenly Spiritual Body . . .

Oh, it wasn't that Cha Eun Xiao couldn't feel anything. He most certainly experienced a sense of comfort and delight due to the warm events of the previous night!

As he speculated and made sense of the inexplicable occurrences, the surging spiritual energy within his body surged and shattered the boundaries of the seventh level of the Sky Origin Stage. He ascended to another level.

It was an overwhelmingly sweeping and unhindered advancement!

Under the influence of such pure spiritual qi, there was no reason for it not to break through swiftly.

As the new level was conquered, the spiritual qi continued to rise, completely filling the entire seventh level, just as it had in the sixth level. It surged through an entire cycle of cultivation and continued its relentless journey, completing a staggering ninety-nine full circuits. Suddenly, it erupted vigorously from his dantian once again.

Cha Eun Xiao was left dumbfounded. He could hardly believe what was transpiring within his body. There was still a substantial surge of potent energy driving toward the eighth level of the Sky Origin Stage.

This too was an undisturbed and sweeping development!

A stream of cold energy within his body melded into the pure purple spiritual qi, joining the energy that was surging to break through the level's boundaries.

The cold energy was overwhelmingly powerful, to the point where Cha Eun Xiao couldn't even fathom it. He suddenly recalled the stream of Yin qi that had entered his body while he was 'bodily communicating' with Bing-Er.

"Could it be... But how can it be so abundant? This is..." He was left speechless as he watched the unending flow of spiritual qi. He truly couldn't find the words to describe the astonishing phenomenon.

It was utterly extraordinary!

- Boom! -

With an explosive burst in his body, the boundaries of the eighth level were also shattered!

It took him a remarkably short time to break these boundaries in such an unusual manner.

The only sensation Cha Eun Xiao had at this moment was that he must be dreaming!

It was an exceptionally sweet dream!

Could reality truly be this good, even in dreams?

Cultivators typically endured a great deal of hardship on their journey of cultivation. Many spent their entire lives striving to break through one level after another, even the most gifted among them.

However, within just one day... No, more precisely, within a mere two hours, he had ascended three levels within the Sky Origin Stage!

And all of this was attributed to what he had experienced with Bing-Er the previous night...

"That... That's... marvelous..." Cha Eun Xiao muttered, still not comprehending the events. "No wonder so many people yearn for a spouse... It brings such incredible benefits... Uncle Song has been urging me to find a wife and end my life as a virgin. He truly cared about me. I misjudged him!"

If other cultivators heard his words, they might very well scoff at him.

Even if Song Jue were to hear such sentiments, he would likely remain unfazed!

Getting married or staying single had no bearing on one's cultivation progress whatsoever!

In fact, there was no other girl quite like the extraordinary female entity he had encountered. Some individuals exploited the yin energy in relationships, but even if they found a pure yin attribute partner, they could never achieve the kind of progress that Cha Eun Xiao had attained...

Not even a fraction of it!

Cha Eun Xiao found himself completely dumbfounded. He sensed the spiritual qi repeatedly surging, coursing through his meridians and channels, and replenishing them ceaselessly.

Cha Eun Xiao stood in awe of this miraculous occurrence.

At long last, when the spiritual qi filled his dantian once more and was on the verge of breaking through to the ninth level, the surge came to a halt.

It transformed into something akin to a tranquil pond of spring water.

This serene flow was the complete antithesis of the frenzied surge that had transpired moments earlier. Everything had cooled down, as if the extraordinary outburst had never even occurred.

Cha Eun Xiao had indeed undergone a profound transformation within his body.

He heaved a sigh of relief, finally reaching the end of this peculiar journey. He was genuinely grateful for that. If the spiritual qi had directly broken through to the ninth level, it would have meant surpassing the limitations of this world. Such an event would have posed significant challenges.

If that had occurred, he would have transcended the boundaries of this realm. It would have left him with a perplexing decision to make: should he stay or leave?

It was a complex choice that he was not yet prepared to confront. He would have to address it eventually, but not at this moment.

As he tried to shift his body, he noticed something amiss around his mouth. It felt as if something was covering his lips. Upon touching it, he realized that a fine powder was falling from his face.

Suddenly, this phenomenon extended to every part of his body. It began with his palms and then spread to his arms and beyond. His entire body was coated in a layer of fine powder that resembled dandruff.

The powder had a brown hue.

Cha Eun Xiao was perplexed by the situation. He attempted to flick the powder off, and it cascaded from his skin, revealing smooth, jade-like flesh underneath.

His skin and muscles had undergone a transformation, giving them an appearance resembling exquisite jade—crystal-clear and radiant.

"This is a complete body remolding, the ablution of muscles and bones," he realized with relief.

He was well-acquainted with this process, having experienced it numerous times before. However, he hadn't yet reached the final level when the body remodeling usually occurred.

Now, the ablution process had been unexpectedly completed in advance. Cha Eun Xiao's body had become a Heavenly Body.

In the Qing-Yun Realm, it was referred to as a Heavenly Spiritual Body. Only when the body attained this state could one commence cultivation in the Spirit Origin Stage.

This state was called the spiritual body for a reason.

When the Heavenly Spiritual Body reverted to its original purity, it marked the beginning of cultivation in the Dream Origin Stage. This meant that the Heavenly Spiritual Body was akin to a dream. When the body returned to its original state, no traces remained, paving the way for the Dream Origin Stage.
