Chapter 2220: Chapter 1910: Becoming a Human Realm Spiritual Martial Artist

When the Spirit Evil Qi emitted from the Lantern Deceit’s corpse entered Lu Chen’s body, Lu Chen immediately felt an excruciating pain all over his body.

Fortunately, he was able to endure it, but he felt as though he was enduring excruciating hardship.

Originally, dual cultivation with Bai Qingqing could alleviate pain, or even eliminate it, so why did he insist on cultivating alone?

But then again, thinking about how when he and Bai Qingqing were cultivating, there were still piles of eerie and sinister corpses in the room, Lu Chen felt a sense of oddness.

Wasn’t this scene a bit too horrifying?

After cultivating for a while, Lu Chen finally absorbed all the Spirit Evil Qi from the Lantern Deceit’s corpse. Fortunately, the Spirit Evil Qi inside the Lantern Deceit was relatively sparse, otherwise, Lu Chen might not have been able to persevere.

After Lu Chen opened his eyes, he exhaled deeply. The cultivation method in this world was too torturous. Whether in the Spirit Realm or the Burial Furnace, cultivation had never been this tormenting before.

Lu Chen always felt that the Spirit Evil Qi originated from a mutation of a mysterious power, otherwise, how could it devour one’s vitality?

Seeing Lu Chen open his eyes, Zhao Yu asked, "Princely Heir, how do you feel now?"

Lu Chen thought for a moment, then said, "Go hang twenty lanterns in my room. I’ll be absorbing the Spirit Evil Qi shortly."

This...

Zhao Yu was taken aback. He had just seen the painful and twisted expression on Lu Chen’s face, and thought Lu Chen wouldn’t continue absorbing the sinister and evil Spirit Evil Qi, but unexpectedly, he planned to press on.

After regaining his composure, Zhao Yu advised, "Princely Heir, there’s no need to be so hasty in elevating your realm. You’ve just had a breakthrough. The priority should be stabilizing your realm. Breaking through from the Peak of Mortal Realm to the Human Realm won’t be feasible in a short time."

Lu Chen replied, "Rest assured, Commander Zhao. I know what I’m doing. I’m just stabilizing my realm. I feel that my body is not sturdy enough and still needs the Spirit Evil Qi’s quenching."

Seeing Lu Chen speak with such resolve, Zhao Yu could say no more, and then said, "I’ll have the Hidden Guard deliver the Lantern Deceit’s corpse to your room shortly."

Without saying more, Lu Chen stood up from the ground and went to his room.

When Lu Chen returned to his room, he found Bai Qingqing sitting on the bed cultivating. The moonlight, streaming through the window, fell on Bai Qingqing’s exquisite jade-like face, making her look even more ethereal and beautiful. She seemed to emit a layer of sacred radiance.

Hearing the door, Bai Qingqing, who was in cultivation, opened her eyes, and upon seeing Lu Chen return, she sighed softly within her heart.

She thought Lu Chen wouldn’t return tonight, but here he was.

Over the past month, it was his nightly routine. Though she had become accustomed to it, she always felt like she was becoming a plaything for Lu Chen.

It’s been more than a month, and she still hadn’t conceived Lu Chen’s child, which demonstrated how difficult it was for Spirit Martial Artists to propagate offspring, Bai Qingqing thought to herself, wondering when this would come to an end.

At this moment, Bai Qingqing suddenly realized that Lu Chen seemed to have reached the Peak of Mortal Realm.

Perceiving the aura of the Mortal Realm Peak on Lu Chen, Bai Qingqing was momentarily stunned. With each breakthrough Lu Chen achieved over the past month, she was astounded, considering that Lu Chen had only just become a Spirit Martial Artist.

After regaining her composure, Bai Qingqing asked, "Princely Heir, have you made a breakthrough?"

Lu Chen smiled and said, "What do you mean by ’Princely Heir’? You should call me darling."

With that said, Lu Chen sat by the bed, wrapping Bai Qingqing’s delicate body into his arms very naturally.

Bai Qingqing did not resist, and just looked up at Lu Chen slightly, her eyes filled with confusion: was this Lu Chen really Lu Chen?

But Prince Zhen Nan had already stated that Lu Chen couldn’t possibly be possessed by sinister forces, so he was indeed Lu Chen.

However, an amnesia could lead to such drastic changes in a person, which was truly unbelievable.

Seeing Bai Qingqing’s perplexed expression, Lu Chen asked, "What’s the matter? My breakthrough doesn’t make you happy?"

Bai Qingqing said nothing, merely observing Lu Chen. She wasn’t unhappy; after all, as part of the Zhen Nan Prince Manor, with its heir being capable of restoring vitality, how could she not be pleased?

It’s just that this person was Lu Chen, the weak and timid Lu Chen she once looked down upon, which rendered her feelings somewhat complicated.

Just as Lu Chen was about to speak, the voice of a Hidden Guard came from the door, "Princely Heir, the Lantern Deceit you requested has arrived. Shall we bring it in now?"

Lu Chen said, "Bring it in."

As his words fell, two female Hidden Guards carried a sack into the room, from which a dense Spirit Evil Qi emanated.

Seeing this, Bai Qingqing was slightly taken aback. Why would Lu Chen bring sinister corpses into the room?

After delivering the body of the Lantern Deceit, the two female Hidden Guards turned and left the room.

Once they were gone, Bai Qingqing asked in bewilderment, "Darling, what are you doing?"

Lu Chen chuckled and said, "You’ll understand in a moment."

Lu Chen thought to himself, luckily the Lantern Deceit’s corpse was in a sack, otherwise dealing with those sinister corpses in this setting would be somewhat inelegant.

Before Bai Qingqing could react, Lu Chen leaned over and sealed Bai Qingqing’s fragrant lips with his own.

Bai Qingqing was left a bit flustered; Lu Chen had a large sack of sinister corpses delivered, and in such a situation, he still intended to engage in such actions with her. This didn’t seem quite appropriate.

But Lu Chen didn’t care what Bai Qingqing thought. He continued his actions, and while doing so, began to absorb the Spirit Evil Qi from the Lantern Deceit’s bodies. As waves of Spirit Evil Qi entered Lu Chen’s body, he felt every cell in his body becoming active, vitality accelerating, and his realm reaching a bottleneck.

For a moment, Lu Chen felt there seemed to be a thin membrane in a part of his Dantian, where the Spirit Evil Qi was accumulating, unable to pass through this membrane.

Once more, Lu Chen focused his energy, gathering all the Spirit Evil Qi into his Dantian, wildly assaulting the membrane, trying to fully penetrate it, allowing the Spirit Evil Qi to circulate freely within his body.

As Lu Chen continued to absorb the Spirit Evil Qi from the Lantern Deceit, in an instant, all the accumulating Spirit Evil Qi converged, violently breaking through the membrane.

The membrane shattered instantly, and Lu Chen immediately felt the Spirit Evil Qi inside him finding a new channel. In the next moment, his physique visibly strengthened.

Noticing Lu Chen’s bodily transformation, and sensing the aura of the Early Stage of Human Realm emitting from him, Bai Qingqing lay on the bed dumbfounded, momentarily forgetting the situation she was in with Lu Chen. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Breakthrough...

Lu Chen had just broken through to the Peak of Mortal Realm tonight, and during this brief encounter, he had advanced to a Human Realm Spiritual Martial Artist???
