Chapter 256: Profound Yin Divine Body, Method of Breakthrough

"It really is the chaos heaven tablet!"

Ying Feng was ecstatic and immediately rushed to the chaos heaven tablet. However, he was dumbfounded; the number of challenges for the chaos heaven tablet before him had clearly been used up, making it impossible to challenge again, which made him extremely furious.

But at that moment, the stone stele suddenly vibrated violently.

The golden ranking list on the chaos heaven tablet began to change, and Zhou Chen's name appeared in the 39th position!

And the original 39th place, Great Emperor Wushi, automatically moved to 40th.

"This is…"

The lackeys around him were all stunned upon seeing this scene.

"39th place?!"

"Who is this? To actually rise to 39th place? He even surpassed the legendary Great Emperor Wushi!"

"Who is Zhou Chen? I've never even heard of such a person…"

"How terrifying. If word gets out, the Eastern Wasteland will surely be shaken!"

"Hahaha, our Eastern Wasteland has produced another peerless Genius!"

Several people discussed noisily.

Inside a hidden cave somewhere in King Mings Immortal Mansion.

Zhou Chen sat cross-legged, digesting the gains brought by the chaos heaven tablet.

The profound Cultivation Technique of "Formless Immortal Traces" flowed through his mind, every word containing profound Laws.

The more Zhou Chen looked, the more shocked he became; this movement technique far surpassed all the Cultivation Techniques he had practiced before.

Miao Dandan sat beside him, her dark eyes staring at Zhou Chen without blinking, her pretty face full of concern.

"Master, are you really alright?"

She asked softly, for fear of disturbing Zhou Chen.

"Don't worry, I'm really fine. Haven't you already asked?"

Zhou Chen opened his eyes and smiled at her.

Elder Xuan began to circle Zhou Chen several times before suddenly stopping.

"Kid."

Elder Xuan spoke, his voice carrying a hint of surprise: "Your aura has already become perfectly harmonious."

"Hmm?"

Zhou Chen raised an eyebrow.

"Quasi-Emperor Peak, with a stable Dao Foundation and vigorous Spiritual Qi."

Elder Xuan continued, "Are you preparing to Breakthrough to the Emperor Realm?"

Zhou Chen was silent for a moment, then nodded.

"That's right. I've gathered all the Materials needed to Breakthrough to the Emperor Realm."

However, Elder Xuan thought he meant the auxiliary Materials for the World Tree Seed; Zhou Chen didn't explain.

If Elder Xuan knew that Zhou Chen was talking about the heart of the world tree, and the auxiliary Materials referred to the earth core source crystal, nine heavens dao lotus, nether king ice soul, Blazing Fire Dao Lotus, ancient moon divine gold, and Heavenly Heart Dao Lotus—and that Zhou Chen lacked none of them—Elder Xuan would probably be scared to death.

"Good lad!"

Elder Xuan praised, his remnant soul shaking with excitement: "In all my years of living, this is the first time I've seen someone gather the Five Great Treasures in such a short time. Your luck is simply Heaven-Defying!"

"Just good luck."

Zhou Chen smiled.

He knew in his heart that this was entirely thanks to the System's powerful interceptions. If he couldn't see other people's opportunity panel, how could he have gathered these treasures so easily?

"However…"

Elder Xuan changed the subject, his expression suddenly becoming solemn.

Zhou Chen keenly noticed the change in Elder Xuan's expression, and his heart tightened.

"Elder Xuan, just say it. What's wrong?"

"Kid, if you want to Breakthrough to the Emperor Realm, you're still missing one key link."

Elder Xuan turned his gaze toward Miao Dandan, a strange look flashing in his eyes as he said seriously, "You must Breakthrough together with girl Dandan."

"Ah? What?!"

Zhou Chen and Miao Dandan were both stunned.

Miao Dandan's pretty face instantly turned red, and she lowered her head, not daring to look at Zhou Chen.

"Elder Xuan, what are you talking about?"

He thought the old man had lost his mind.

Zhou Chen frowned. "Breakthrough to the Emperor Realm requires Dual Cultivation? Why have I never heard of such a thing?"

"Of course you haven't."

Elder Xuan snorted irritably, "Because this situation is extremely rare; ordinary Cultivators won't encounter it in a lifetime."

"What exactly do you mean?"

Zhou Chen pressed.

"Take a close look at girl Dandan's Physique."

Elder Xuan reminded him.

Zhou Chen turned to look at Miao Dandan. He knew about the Profound Yin Divine Body, so he wasn't too surprised.

Inside Miao Dandan's body was an extremely special power. That power was incredibly pure, exuding a cold yet soft aura that was the polar opposite of the Chaos Spiritual Energy in his body, yet somehow complementary.

"This is…"

Zhou Chen decided to pretend he didn't know.

"Profound Yin Divine Body."

Elder Xuan said in a deep voice, each word spoken with utmost solemnity: "One of the top cauldron Physiques in the world, one in ten thousand."

"The Profound Yin Divine Body is that powerful?!"

Zhou Chen gasped; he hadn't expected the Profound Yin Divine Body to be so impressive even in Elder Xuan's eyes.

The old man Xuan continued to explain.

The Profound Yin Divine Body, ranked alongside the Solar Saint Physique, is one of the two strongest Physiques in the world.

Cultivators with the Profound Yin Divine Body Cultivate extremely fast and have a natural bonus to yin-cold Cultivation Techniques and Spells.

More importantly, Zhou Chen's extremely masculine Azure Lotus Dao Body and the Profound Yin Divine Body can complement each other. Dual Cultivation between the two can break the shackles of heaven and earth, allowing for a Breakthrough to an even higher Realm!

Elder Xuan looked at Zhou Chen, his voice serious: "The Chaos Spiritual Energy in your body contains the most masculine and powerful energy. While it's not a pure Solar Saint Physique, it's not far off. If you Dual Cultivate, your Primordial Yang Qi can stimulate her Profound Yin Divine Body, allowing her to fully fully undergo Awakening."

Hearing this, Zhou Chen's expression became complicated.

He looked at Miao Dandan and found her with her head lowered, her hands tightly clutching the corners of her clothes, her whole body trembling slightly.

"And as for you…"

Elder Xuan paused, a solemn look flashing in his eyes: "The most critical step in breaking through to the Emperor Realm is to comprehend the power of creation of heaven and earth, and condense your own Emperor Realm space."

"But this step is extremely difficult. Countless Quasi-Emperor Peak Cultivators are stuck here, unable to Breakthrough for their entire lives. Some spend hundreds of years and still cannot cross this threshold."

"If you can Dual Cultivate with the Profound Yin Divine Body during your Breakthrough, your Primordial Yang Qi and her Great Yin Qi will blend together, helping you comprehend the power of creation more easily."

Elder Xuan looked at Zhou Chen and said word by word:

"This can increase your chance of becoming an Emperor by fifty percent!"

"Fifty percent?!"

Zhou Chen's heart skipped a beat.

A fifty percent chance of becoming an Emperor was no small number!

You should know that the success rate for ordinary Cultivators breaking through to the Emperor Realm is less than ten percent. And while he himself was exceptionally gifted and had the assistance of the Five Great Treasures, his success rate was only around forty percent.

If it could be increased by another fifty percent, that would be an eighty percent success rate!

Ninety percent!

This was already close to a guaranteed success!

"Furthermore…"

Elder Xuan continued, his tone becoming increasingly solemn: "If you Dual Cultivate to Breakthrough, not only can you condense an Emperor Realm space, you might even condense a legendary Small World!"

"Small World?!"

Zhou Chen stood up abruptly.

"That's right."

Elder Xuan nodded: "Ordinary Emperor Realm experts only condense an Emperor Realm space, which can hold some matter and energy. But a Small World is different; it is a true world that can nurture life and contain all things!"

"An Emperor Realm expert with a Small World has combat power far exceeding those of the same level. Even at the First Layer of Emperor Realm, they can challenge those at the Emperor Realm Third Layer! Or even the fourth layer!"

"Holy crap? That strong?"

Zhou Chen's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
