Mu Jinyu watched Chu Huaxiu support Chu Huannian to rest, then fell silent for a moment, murmuring quietly: "Fighting Spirit Tribe?"

"I'll go and see it someday when I have the chance."

Of course, although he said this, even if Mu Jinyu truly had the strength to suppress the Fighting Spirit Tribe one day, it's impossible for him to charge there alone, find the biological father of the Chu sisters, and then kill him.

Although Chu Huannian loathes him to the core, dreaming day and night of revenge, what she would genuinely do with that strength, no one could know.

Naturally, Mu Jinyu couldn't act on his own, casually making decisions for her.

Afterward, Mu Jinyu withdrew his gaze and returned to the small pavilion to eat and drink alone.

He felt that his mood had worsened.

He was already gloomy and uncomfortable due to the destruction of the Earth Emperor's Skeleton, and after hearing Chu Huannian recount her childhood sorrows while drunk, he felt even more heartache.

"Gulp, gulp, gulp..."

Soon, Mu Jinyu finished off several hundred jin of Forget-Sorrow Wine in the gourd, with his vision gradually becoming overlapped and blurry.

"This wine is really strong, haven't felt this buzzed in a long time..."

Mu Jinyu's cheeks were flushed, eyes blurry, his head swaying, almost unable to stand steadily.

"Brother Jinyu, be careful. Why did you drink so much, too? Let me help you back..."

At this moment, Chu Huaxiu walked out from the room, seeing Mu Jinyu also drunk, she exclaimed in alarm and quickly ran over to support him.

"I'm not drunk, I'm very clear-headed..."

Mu Jinyu mumbled.

"Mm-hmm, Brother Jinyu, you're not drunk. You're sleepy, right? I'll help you back to rest..."

Chu Huaxiu comforted softly.

Finally, Mu Jinyu was helped back to the room by Chu Huaxiu.

"Bang!"

Mu Jinyu collapsed onto the bed, eyes closed, quickly entering a dreamland.

Rarely did he not substitute sleep with meditation and cultivation.

"Brother Jinyu..."

Chu Huaxiu stood by the bed, looking at the sleeping Mu Jinyu, eyes gently gazing at his handsome and sturdy face, whispering softly.

Subsequently, her cheeks flushed, lips pursed lightly; taking a deep breath, she slowly leaned closer to Mu Jinyu and bent down to plant a gentle kiss on his forehead.

After the kiss, she felt her heart pounding wildly, nearly leaping out of her throat, overwhelmed by shyness, she quickly covered her face and ran out of Mu Jinyu's room.

...

Next day.

Both Chu Huannian and Mu Jinyu woke up. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

They were completely sober now.

And they remembered what happened yesterday.

But they unanimously chose to ignore it, as if it had never happened.

Chu Huannian wasn't sure how to address it.

While Mu Jinyu didn't want to embarrass Chu Huannian.

In the days that followed, life became calmer.

News spread within Dongyue Mansion that due to the deaths of nearly fifty advanced and intermediate students in the Tiangan Secret Realm, new intermediate and advanced students would be recruited as supplements.

A group of people started gearing up quietly, preparing for this.

Chu Huannian, too.

Despite now having elevated her cultivation level to the peak Hedao Realm Eighth Level, not far from the Ninth Layer Hedao Realm, and her combat power easily surpassing a batch of intermediate students, she was still worried, for her cultivation hadn't reached the Void Breaking Realm.

Which may eventually result in her failing to advance to intermediate student.

Mu Jinyu, however, didn't plan on becoming an advanced student and wasn't as dedicated as Chu Huannian.

He spent his days trying to improve the "Marrow Nourishment Chapter" and steadily enhance his cultivation.

One day.

Mu Jinyu took on a task, earned fifty school credits, and returned to Dongyue Mansion.

He didn't head straight back to the courtyard.

Instead, he went directly to the mansion's cultivation room.

He chose a Gravity Training Room, one school credit per hour.

Very expensive.

But in order to try out the recently refined "Marrow Nourishment Chapter," he spent it directly.

"Buzz!!"

Mu Jinyu walked into the Gravity Training Room.

Immediately, he felt an overwhelming gravitational force pressing down on him, making it difficult for him to move.

The blood flow within him seemed to be suppressed.

"Whoa, this gravity is so strong!"

Mu Jinyu praised in a low voice.

He had encountered Gravity Domains before in battles, but never this overwhelming.

Even now, being at the Second Layer of Void Breaking Realm, and cultivating the "Humanity Path Sutra," constantly refining the body and unlocking potential.

Yet still, he struggled to withstand it.

It's conceivable that if an ordinary person were to enter, they might be flattened on the spot!

"Alright, let's start cultivating, even though it's a bit dangerous..."

Mu Jinyu said softly, then began the operation of the improved "Marrow Nourishment Chapter."

"Buzz!!"

"Boom!!"

Soon, Mu Jinyu's internal organs began to resonate and vibrate according to an enigmatic rhythm.

Subsequently, the originally stagnant blood within him started flowing faster due to this resonance, beginning the process of exchanging blood, nourishing the marrow, and refining the organs and skin membrane...

Indeed, this was something Mu Jinyu gradually crafted, directly integrating all chapters of the "Humanity Path Sutra" to cultivate simultaneously, rather than focusing on one chapter.

Only through this might reaching the true level of marrow nourishing be achieved.

Rather than extracting marrow energy and exhausting potential repeatedly.

Even cultivating to the Peak of Void Breaking Realm.

One wouldn't know how many times they had drained the energy from the skeleton.

Continuing to cultivate, what chance is there to step into Life and Death Realm?

Even if stepping into Life and Death Realm, enduring one Mysterious Gate of Life and Death would be nearly impossible!

One would perish, the path fades!

Thus, after extracting the mysterious energy from the marrow once and breaking into Second Layer of Void Breaking Realm.

He continued to refrain from cultivating the "Marrow Nourishment Chapter."

Because he felt this wasn't the true path.

Perhaps the ancient human sage who wrote the "Humanity Path Sutra" had received too little of the Human Emperor's remnants, ending just at the "Organ Refining Chapter."

Leaving only brief excerpts on marrow nourishment, then the ancient human sage fabricated the "Marrow Nourishment Chapter" in the "Humanity Path Sutra" according to his understanding!

No wonder countless humans, after the great change of heaven and earth, found their paths cut short after cultivating the "Humanity Path Sutra," unable to continue forward!

Well, your potential is exhausted, how could the path not be cut short?

Therefore, Mu Jinyu pondered repeatedly, feeling the "Marrow Nourishment Chapter" shouldn't be cultivated this way, but should rather foster inner potential, thus reaching a step-by-step enhancement!

Yet, even though he cultivated his improved "Marrow Nourishment Chapter" several times in his courtyard, it was always hard to achieve the desired effect.

Ultimately, he thought of borrowing external force, to achieve the body's resonance and realize rapid enhancement, the process of transformation!!

"Buzz buzz buzz..."

Mu Jinyu tightly closed his eyes, body tense yet relaxed, his skin twisting and flipping intensely, as if blown by a strong wind.

However, there was no wind in the Gravity Training Room.

Such changes were entirely caused by the rapid flow of blood within him.

Finally, Mu Jinyu gradually found serenity amid the pain, suddenly feeling, in the vibrational acceleration and blood exchange of his organs, a mysterious force slowly emerging within his sturdy bones.

"This..."

Mu Jinyu didn't open his eyes but felt extreme joy in his heart.

Along with the emergence of that mysterious energy, his cultivation also began to gradually ascend.

While not as exaggerated as the day he solely cultivated the "Marrow Nourishment Chapter," instantly ascending from the First Layer to the Second Layer of Void Breaking Realm.

This steady progress, however, felt more reliable to Mu Jinyu.
