Chapter 383: Promotion to Void Refinement phase, one person, one cow’s backup plan

Translate to

The two primordial spirits were now submerged in the sea, feeding on the qi of the Five Elements, completely asleep.

Even if his main body were obliterated by a powerful being, he could still be reborn through another body, no longer limited by distance as before.

The qi of the Five Elements in this era was even more abundant, fully capable of sustaining consumption.

He had actually conceived this plan back in the small boundary, but the consumption and recovery couldn't balance out, so he shelved it.

The ability of Void Refinement finally allowed him to perceive a new world of the Five Elements.

Especially in the use and understanding of death energy, cultivating death energy as a longevity seeker turned out to be a perfect combination.

Now, with the system's enhancement, the higher his realm, the greater the gap between him and cultivators of the same realm.

He practiced both body and mana, and now all he lacked was the essence blood of myriad races. However, he had inquired from Yun Jin that the Southern Yu Continent definitely had the essence blood of various races for sale.

If that didn't work, he could go to 'Xuanwei Heaven,' where grand auctions, mineral vein auctions, and more were held.

Even the bases of many formidable forces were there, and resources from beyond Xuanwei Heaven flowed out from there.

In short, as long as he had spirit stones and special resources, he wouldn't be in danger, risking his life and offending a large group of races.

"But the shackles of longevity points have been completely broken. Haha, it's been years since I chased after longevity points."

Chen Xun sighed softly, his eyes carrying a unique ease. The sea breeze blew in waves, relaxing both body and mind, and his gaze gradually calmed.

Over the past century, they had invested their longevity points in defense and World Soul.

Their current longevity points were: Strength 200, Speed 200, World Soul 255, Mana 200, Defense 270.

Chen Xun had long figured out the system's longevity point pattern. The limit for the Void Refinement phase was 270 points, and the limit for the Unity phase was estimated to be 350 points, which wouldn't take many years to max out.

But now, the system's enhancement during the Void Refinement phase grew with his own growth.

Even without the shackles of longevity points, the 270 points of defense in the Divine Transformation phase and the 270 points of defense in the Void Refinement phase were worlds apart.

Based on his current body refinement realm, he could withstand as many early Void Refinement attacks as they came, and if his defense was breached, it would be as if those points were added for nothing!

Now, the effect of the World Soul, if combined with Black Bull, could increase the age of spiritual herbs by fifteen thousand years in a year.

At first glance, it seemed like a lot, but with the cultivation of Little Crane's main body, the cultivation of the Boundary-breaking Ship, and various spiritual herbs, it was somewhat insufficient.

Even with thousand-year-old spiritual herbs, it was only enough for a dozen plants a year, just enough to refine a batch of Qi-Enhancing Pills...

At this moment, the sea surged with waves, towering waves rose and fell, seemingly in sync with Chen Xun's thoughts.

Layer upon layer of waves crashed against the reef, the latter rough and pitted, turning into fine white foam upon impact, gradually dispersing and drifting away.

The tide rose and fell, waves surged and receded.

After a wave calmed, Chen Xun sat upright, still seated on the reef, with an unshakeable smile, quietly gazing at the vast ocean, looking in a certain direction...

In a certain deep sea, massive waterspouts shot towards the sky.

The sea surface was split into two, spreading out, being compressed by the vast power of the Five Elements, even the elemental energy was shattering and dissipating.

A cocoon of lightning suspended in the center, completely shattered!

A burly figure gradually emerged from within, a large black bull with two upright horns, standing on two legs in mid-air.

Its form was no longer strange, but rather natural, like a big man, except its face remained bovine.

Black Bull's eyes were sharp, its entire body filled with explosive power, its eyes still the mysterious Five Elements pupils, unfathomable.

The black fur covering its body exuded an inviolable majesty, as if it were an immortal beast from ancient times.

Each step it took seemed to tread on the veins of heaven and earth, creating an extremely oppressive atmosphere around it, even the elemental energy avoided it, leaving an absolute silence.

Black Bull exhaled a hot breath, as if it wanted to evaporate the very essence of heaven and earth.

Elemental energy was in turmoil, spiritual qi trembled, essence gathered, the power of the Five Elements surged in and out of its body, wildly!

Meanwhile, a large black coffin descended from the sky, inside lay a primordial spirit, its vitality being eroded by death energy, burying the primordial spirit, kept as a backup.

Black Bull placed a hand on the upright large black coffin, the sea making way for it, not daring to intrude.

It continued to exhale, the strangeness in its eyes gradually fading, the fur on its body slowly receding.

The large black coffin emitted a burst of death light, merging into its primordial spirit.

Black Bull returned to its original form, standing on four legs in the center of the parted sea, its gaze still sharp, sniffing with its bovine nose.

"Damn it, Bull!!"

Suddenly, a loud shout came from afar, a figure in white swiftly flying over, stirring up monstrous waves behind, its speed terrifying.

Black Bull's sharp eyes instantly softened, becoming honest and sincere, its expression turning excited, that voice was Chen Xun!

It leaped into the sky, rushing towards the distant figure: "Moo moo~~~!"

"Bull!" Chen Xun shouted excitedly in mid-air, like a child, "How's everything?"

Boom!

A massive tremor erupted from the sea below, as they embraced in mid-air, Black Bull rubbing its head vigorously against Chen Xun, mooing about its transformation.

Chen Xun held Black Bull's head, laughing heartily, both of them having fully advanced to the Void Refinement phase, their survival strength increased by several degrees.

Smack!

Chen Xun gave Black Bull a hard slap, feeling the texture, his eyes suddenly widened in surprise: "Whoa!"

"Moo?"

"Bull, after advancing to the Void Refinement phase, your physical body seems much stronger."

Chen Xun mused, circling around Black Bull, speaking with a serious tone, "Perhaps your physical body is catching up to mine, now able to withstand five moves from me."

"Moo??"

Black Bull's eyes widened in surprise, only five moves? It nudged Chen Xun, "Moo moo?!"

Chen Xun sneered, "I can now sever seas, split mountains, with a single death light, elemental energy vanishes, Void Refinement cultivators are like children before me, Ximen Black Bull, what do you have to fight me with?"

"Moo?" Black Bull's eyes were filled with doubt, still nudging Chen Xun, almost believing him.

"Bull, maybe your brain isn't working, in other words, the gap between us brothers now..."

Chen Xun held Black Bull with one arm, his eyes full of wise brilliance, "It's like the difference between Marshal Bai Li Zhong Hu and Chen Da Huang."

"Moo?" Black Bull's eyes were puzzled, who was Chen Da Huang.

"Chen Da Huang, you might not know, it's the big yellow dog from the village."

"Moo~~~"

Black Bull's eyes suddenly understood, big brother made sense, it even wagged its tail a few times, it understood!

"Bull, you ponder on that, I'll talk to Third Sister, ask about the family."

"Moo~"

Black Bull shook its head, still pondering the difference between Marshal Bai Li Zhong Hu and Chen Da Huang.

Chen Xun took out the Void Transmission Disk, pointing a finger at it.

The runes on it quickly rearranged, quite complex, Chen Xun was deeply captivated, the rune fluctuations were too fast, almost in an instant.

Gradually, a light projection radiated from the disk, Little Crane's figure appearing on it.

"Big Brother!"

An ethereal voice came through, quite joyful, but no other scene was visible, nor was Black Bull seen, only the presence of another person through divine sense.

Chen Xun's lips curved into a warm smile, "Third Sister, how are things on Trash Island, no changes, right?"

"Big Brother, rest assured, everything on Trash Island is fine, we've acquired many fragments, just waiting for you and Second Brother to return."

"Where's that Little Chi, tell him to cultivate properly, stop tinkering with trash, we have plenty of spirit stones, let him buy whatever he wants."

"Hehe, Fourth Brother is just like that, reluctant to use spirit stones."

"We and your Second Brother expect to return in half a year, have you been reading well, I wonder if Old Mo can keep you in line."

Chen Xun squinted slightly, the sternness in his eyes almost piercing through the Void Transmission Disk.

Little Crane's expression instantly turned panicked, whispering in grievance, "Big Brother, I've been reading, even finished the geography book of the Mengmu Sea Region."

"Third Sister, you're smart since childhood, but you must stay on the right path, don't be playful, understand?"

"Uh... understood."

Little Crane dared not retort, she always listened to Big Brother, then changed the subject, "Big Brother, let us know when you're coming back, Fourth Brother and I will come to pick you up."

Hearing this, Chen Xun's heart suddenly warmed, the sternness fading, his face smiling, "Alright."

At this moment, Black Bull beside him felt something was off, why did Chen Xun compare it to the village's big yellow dog!

It suddenly realized, exhaling heavily, Chen Xun was tricking it!

It raised its four hooves in the air, charging at Chen Xun, Black Bull's sneak attack! Black Bull's charge!

"Ouch, damn!!"

Chen Xun's smiling expression instantly froze, letting out a startled cry, being knocked away, drawing a graceful arc in the air.

He roared angrily in mid-air, "Bull, you bastard~~~ I'm talking to Third Sister."

"Big Brother, what's wrong?!"

Little Crane's face turned anxious, unable to see the scene here, only seeing Big Brother seemingly flying away.

"Moo moo~~"

Black Bull grabbed Chen Xun's Void Transmission Disk, smiling brightly at Little Crane, but the disk didn't have its divine sense, the other side couldn't see it, only hear its voice.

"Second Brother~~"

"Moo moo!!"

Black Bull fiddled with the disk, thinking Little Crane could see it, mooing continuously.

Chen Xun stood on the other side, utterly helpless, this Bull had its own transmission disk but chose to snatch his...
