Although the soul aspect is Chen Yu’s weakness, he is also at the forefront, having previously reached the Late Stage Star Condensing.
Under the effect of the Ten Thousand Dragon Crown, his soul elevated by a level in one month.
Such achievement is already quite remarkable.
However, wanting to continue ascending becomes difficult, and there is a certain risk.
Therefore, in subsequent cultivation, his focus gradually shifts to the Nine Revolutions Bright Star Technique and Vermilion Bird Burning Sky Wings.
Vermilion Bird Burning Sky Wings has just started being cultivated; it should not be rushed, and a firm foundation should be laid step by step.
On this day, Chen Yu activates the method of Nine Revolutions Bright Star Technique, absorbing the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi of the cave abode to advance his cultivation.
But after three two hours, the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi within the cave abode is depleted.
One reason is that the Nine Revolutions Bright Star Technique absorbs Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi at a fast speed, requiring a large amount.
Another reason is that this cultivation cave abode is somewhat lacking.The elder of Vermilion Bird Heavenly Nest arranged for him the ninety-fifth cave abode, considered the worst among all cave abodes.
"If this continues, it will greatly affect my cultivation speed."
Chen Yu secretly shook his head.
When encountering a problem, he will find a solution.
"Should I use Primordial Stones for cultivation?"
Chen Yu immediately shook his head.
When cultivating the Nine Revolutions Bright Star Technique, using Primordial Stones would never be enough.
Eventually, Chen Yu thought of a method, albeit somewhat devious.
"Regardless, since you challenge me like this, I won’t be polite."
Chen Yu made a decision, stepping out of the cave abode.
In the cave abode area, the southern environment is the best, the northernmost the worst, and Chen Yu’s residence is the worst of all northern cave abodes, such a treatment is unparalleled.
He arrived at the southern area, where the air is red and radiates a faint glow.
"Just from the outside, the concentration of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi is already this high. The environment inside the cave abode must be even better."
Chen Yu murmured.
He found a place where the primordial qi concentration was slightly higher, near a certain cave abode.
Chen Yu did not care much and just sat down cross-legged to begin cultivation.
Inside the nearby cave abode, a disciple of Vermilion Bird Heavenly Nest noticed Chen Yu outside the cave, froze for a moment, but then showed a thoughtful look and subsequently stepped out of the cave abode.
"Isn’t this Chen Yu of Heavenly Martial Sect? Why are you sitting outside my cave abode instead of cultivating in your own?"
This black-faced man floated in mid-air, looking down at Chen Yu with an arrogant expression.
The loud voice of the black-faced man attracted two disciples from Vermilion Bird Heavenly Nest, who seeing Chen Yu "cultivating in the open", couldn’t help but laugh.
"Why don’t you cultivate in my cave abode, though monthly fees are required, and it’d be best if you helped tidy up a bit."
The black-faced man got interested, continuing.
He found this idea quite good; a new genius from Heavenly Martial Sect renting his cave abode, helping with cleaning; spreading this news would restore the reputation of Vermilion Bird Heavenly Nest.
"Haha, Brother Wu Xu, you are too wicked, but how can this human race prodigy do menial work?"
The other two disciples from Vermilion Bird Heavenly Nest laughed, ridiculing.
But Chen Yu, sitting cross-legged on a clean stone, remained unmoving, seemingly deaf to their mockery.
This slowly diminished their enthusiasm.
"Oh, seeing you so pitiful, I won’t drive you away. My earlier offer still stands, whenever you understand, you can come cultivate in my cave abode."
The black-faced man, Wu Xu, smiled playfully, then turned back into the cave abode.
"Hmph, what about being a human race prodigy? Being the first among new disciples? Once here in Vermilion Bird Heavenly Nest, whether dragon or tiger, you must submit."
Wu Xu sneered disdainfully.
He entered the cultivation chamber and began training.
When they dispersed, Chen Yu slightly opened his eyes, a cold gleam flashing.
Buzz!
Inside Chen Yu’s Star Sea, a vast vortex formed, devouring the surrounding Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.
With time, the vortex grew larger, absorbing all surrounding Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, including the primordial qi within the earth.
As a Nine Revolutions Star Cultivation Method, Nine Revolutions Bright Star Technique not only absorbs primordial qi quickly and converts efficiently, but also has a wider range.
Chen Yu targeted the area beneath Wu Xu’s cave abode.
The cave abode is built on a Yuan Stone Vein, extracting energy from subterranean primordial stones through an Array to speed cultivation.
But now, before the subterranean primordial qi flows into Wu Xu’s cave abode, Chen Yu intercepted and absorbed a portion.
Ordinarily, an ordinary Condensed Star Realm cultivator wouldn’t manage this.
Firstly, absorption of primordial qi after going underground is impacted, and secondly, it’s hard to counter the Array.
Even if primordial qi could be absorbed, the amount wouldn’t be much, it’s a thankless task.
But Chen Yu’s Nine Revolutions Bright Star Technique is so domineering, with his soul level recently reaching Late-stage Star Condensation Realm Peak, he’s able to achieve this, even penetrating the barrier to absorb a bit of the primordial qi in the cave abode, though the quantity isn’t large.
"Not bad, not bad, compared to the cultivation speed in my cave abode, there’s a forty percent improvement."
Chen Yu displayed a faint smile, justifiably "stealing" primordial qi belonging to Wu Xu.
Inside the cave abode.
Wu Xu, who was cultivating, suddenly sensed something wrong, the cultivation effect of the cave abode seemed to weaken.
But he didn’t pay much mind, assuming it would revert soon.
Unexpectedly, not only did it not restore, but the primordial qi within the cave abode drastically diminished.
Upon careful investigation, Wu Xu found Chen Yu the culprit.
"How is that possible? He, outside, can steal the primordial qi within my cave territory!"
Wu Xu was bewildered yet particularly infuriated.
"Just a Mid-stage Star Condensation Peak, I can’t take care of you?"
Wu Xu’s cultivation was at the peak of the Late Stage Star Condensation, one realm higher than Chen Yu. After suffering defeats at his hands, he wanted to regain his dignity.
He sat down cross-legged, operating his cultivation technique, and contended with Chen Yu for the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.
"Such a domineering cultivation technique, I can’t even win,"
After a bout of struggle, Wu Xu was defeated.
During the competition for the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, he could only seize over thirty percent, while the rest was completely taken by Chen Yu!
In such a cultivation environment, Wu Xu’s training efficiency was greatly reduced. Moreover, he was restless at the moment, his state of mind showing flaws, making it impossible for him to cultivate at ease.
"Bastard, you dare to openly ’steal’ my cultivation resources."
Wu Xu cursed angrily.
The key point was that Chen Yu hadn’t violated the rules of the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Nest, leaving Wu Xu helpless.
At this moment, Wu Xu regretted it. Perhaps it was because he had humiliated Chen Yu earlier, leading to the latter’s actions.
After staying in the cave mansion for half a day, Wu Xu couldn’t hold back anymore.
His state of mind was disrupted by Chen Yu, resulting in extremely low training efficiency, and if this matter spread, he would lose face.
"If you dare to insult me, don’t blame me!"
Wu Xu suddenly stood up.
His cultivation was at the peak of the Late Stage Star Condensation, but as an old disciple, he was deeply rooted, already qualified to strive for the Four-star King.
Today, he was determined to teach Chen Yu a lesson and drive this bastard away. .
However, Wu Xu hadn’t walked far when Chen Yu outside the cave suddenly got up and left.
Wu Xu was taken aback, the anger that was about to erupt inside him suddenly had no outlet to vent.
"He’s gone? At least he knows his place."
Wu Xu held back his anger and returned to the chamber.
In his view, Chen Yu must have noticed his intention to cause trouble and sensibly left.
In reality, Chen Yu didn’t want to compete with Wu Xu for the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, as it would also affect his cultivation efficiency.
So he planned to look for a better cultivation spot.
"I remember the few Demon Race who insulted me earlier seem to live nearby."
Chen Yu recalled his earlier grudges.
Paying back grudges ensures a clear and transparent state of mind.
The two disciples of the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Nest who watched and insulted Chen Yu earlier were in the Late Stage Star Condensing and the Mid-stage Star Condensation Peak respectively.
After arriving near the cave mansion, Chen Yu began to cultivate.
Upon noticing the anomaly, the cultivators in the cave took the same measures as Wu Xu, that is, confronting him directly, trying to outdo Chen Yu!
As expected, they were defeated even more miserably than Wu Xu.
The cultivator at the Mid-stage Star Condensation Peak could only absorb ten percent of the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.
"Not bad, not bad!"
Chen Yu said with a smile.
As the day gradually passed, at night Chen Yu returned to his cave to practice the Vermilion Bird Burning Sky Wings.
The next day, he resumed his actions.
In the southern region, one cultivation cave after another was "visited" by Chen Yu.
The worst case was a cultivator who was breaking through the peak of Star Condensation, already at the final juncture.
As a result, due to insufficient Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi and unable to outcompete Chen Yu, his breakthrough failed, immediately spitting out a mouthful of blood and passing out.
Chen Yu only felt that the other party suddenly stopped contesting him, making his cultivation very smooth, so he practiced outside the cave for two days.
After ten days, the cultivation caves in the southern region were full of complaints due to Chen Yu.
But within these ten days, Chen Yu’s cultivation progress was very fast, equivalent to two months of practice in his own cave.
Chen Yu also inquired before choosing his targets, ensuring he didn’t provoke the Four-star Kings.
However, after these ten days, suitable targets were becoming increasingly scarce.
So, Chen Yu returned outside Wu Xu’s cave.
Wu Xu, who had been calmly cultivating for a month, had gradually settled his state of mind and forgotten about the incident with Chen Yu.
But suddenly, he opened his eyes, and anger flared up.
"Chen Yu, you’ve come again!"
Wu Xu sensed the decrease in Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi within the cave, and flames of rage ignited in his chest.
Whoosh!
After sitting for a moment, he suddenly shot out, transforming into a streak of black flame darting outside the cave.
Wu Xu’s gaze immediately fell on Chen Yu near the cave, producing a pitch-black long stick in his hand.
Boom!
The long stick swung, stirring a violent black flame whirlwind, darkening the sky and earth.
"Chen Yu, you’ve disturbed Wu’s cultivation time and time again, get lost!"
He roared, this sky-shattering blow aimed at Chen Yu’s head.
Startled from his cultivation state, Chen Yu, annoyed by the interruption of his training, activated the White Tiger Sacred Claw and struck out with a paw.
Boom, hiss hiss!
The raging black flame stick shadow was torn to shreds by Chen Yu, and five platinum light scars tore through the sky, two of which struck Wu Xu above.
"What?"
Wu Xu’s expression changed drastically, Chen Yu’s strength was even stronger than imagined!
Hiss hiss! Pfft!
Two deep wounds visible to the bone were left on Wu Xu’s body, blood continually gushing out, causing him to crash into his cave, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"Wu Xu? How dare you sneak attack me!"
Chen Yu shouted loudly.
Wu Xu, who had just climbed up, was trembling all over with anger upon hearing this, spitting out another mouthful of blood and collapsing to the ground.
Clearly, it was Chen Yu who was stealing his cultivation resources and making it impossible for him to cultivate peacefully. Yet, the other party righteously blamed him, making Wu Xu feel extremely wronged and aggrieved.
