Martial Master

His body had already reached the third level of the Indestructible Holy Body, which was extremely terrifying. Yet, this true energy could still enhance his strength, completely exceeding his imagination.

"Continue to absorb."

Without hesitation, Qin Chen continued to absorb the grayish true energy in front of him, slowly spreading it throughout his body.

A large amount of cold, gray true energy began to transform his body.

As the true energy within him increased, suddenly—

Crackle!

When this true energy entered the position of his dantian bloodline, the Thunder Bloodline within Qin Chen's body was abruptly activated.

Crackle crackle!

Thunder surged, instantly clashing with this true energy.

"Hmm, my Thunder Bloodline cannot blend with this true energy."

Qin Chen was puzzled.

The power of bloodlines and true energy were two completely different forces, generally not encountering compatibility issues. However, this situation now left Qin Chen bewildered.

"No, it's not a clash, but a transformation!"

Next, Qin Chen was shocked to discover that the Thunder Bloodline was not clashing with the gray true energy, but was gradually undergoing transformation.

As the thunder surged, the cold true energy that had just entered his body was instantly purified and became gentle after being bathed in the thunder.

Qin Chen was overjoyed.

Previously, although he had absorbed this gray true energy and his strength had improved, he had always felt quite uncomfortable. However, at this moment, that uncomfortable feeling completely vanished.

However.

This also puzzled Qin Chen.

Why did the will of the Ancient Southern Capital want them to comprehend and absorb such a strange true energy?

Or did the true energy cultivated by powerful humans in ancient times differ inherently from the true energy cultivated by modern people?

Next.

Qin Chen continuously absorbed the power from the river of true energy.

Time passed.

He didn't know how long it had been.

Boom!

Qin Chen's cultivation at the peak of the mid-Xuan level instantly broke through to the late Xuan level.

However, Qin Chen did not stop his cultivation. He continued until the true energy within him reached the peak of the late Xuan level before finally stopping.

After such a long period of cultivation, Qin Chen had a clearer understanding of the structure of this true energy.

Profound!

The more he understood, the more shocked Qin Chen became by this true energy's structure.

No wonder it could greatly enhance one’s cultivation. It must be said that this true energy, in terms of purity and strength, far surpassed the true energy cultivated through ordinary martial arts. It even reached an astonishing level above that of heaven-level martial arts.

Absorbing such true energy was comparable to lying amidst a vast amount of true stones for cultivation. How could Qin Chen let such an opportunity slip away?

However, after breaking through to the peak of the late Xuan level, Qin Chen finally stopped.

Because he knew that whether in cultivation or comprehension, one must progress step by step. A too rapid breakthrough would inevitably destabilize the foundation.

On the other paths of the Starry Sky Chessboard.

Almost everyone had entered this layer.

Among these people, except for Qin Chen, no one could reach the sixth stone chamber of the secret pattern, which was the next level.

After all, apart from Qin Chen, even a genius like Mo Li, who excelled in mental strength, could not have the astonishing insights that Qin Chen possessed to fully comprehend the secret pattern.

After entering the second layer.

Feeling the gray true energy before them, everyone was overjoyed and rushed forward to absorb it.

Among them, Mo Li and Gui Ying adapted the fastest.

Soon, the auras of both began to rise.

But there were also those who could not comprehend the structure of this gray true energy no matter how hard they tried.

Outside the Starry Sky Chessboard.

Whoosh!

Situ Sheng was the first to be teleported out.

In the boundless starry sky, the will of the Ancient Southern Capital slightly shook its head.
