Chapter 327: 327. Miracles will definitely appear

This enlightenment session lasted for a full day and night.

Massive amounts of Spiritual Energy within Fang Zhou’s body were being converted into Innate True Qi, but the process was too slow.

It was like a full reservoir of water that could only be drained off through a small ditch.

Not only was it slow, but it was also wasteful.

Fang Zhou already knew the reason; the four conditions for advancing to the Innate Realm were interdependent, and missing even one would prevent a successful ascent.

During this time, he had been focusing solely on transforming Spiritual Energy and strengthening his physical body, neglecting to solidify his Divine Soul and awaken his origin power, which resulted in the inefficiency of the first two processes.

Fang Zhou slowly opened his eyes, looking at the Experience Capsule in front of him.

He was unsure if he was still 50% away from advancing to the Innate Realm, but time was running out, and he decided he had to take a gamble.

Without hesitation, Fang Zhou picked up the Experience Capsule, tossed it into his mouth, and swallowed it in one go.

The capsule dissolved instantly upon contact, taking immediate effect.

Fang Zhou felt a jolt throughout his entire body, and astonishingly, he was lifted up into the air.

He opened his eyes in shock and discovered that he had turned into a transparent state, floating in the air.

“Is this… soul projection?”

Looking down, Fang Zhou saw his body sitting cross-legged on the ground.

This experience of viewing oneself from a third-person perspective was entirely novel, incomparable to looking in a mirror or watching a video.

Fang Zhou quickly noticed that his soul consisted of multiple phantom images, as if multiple souls were stacked together. He counted them–there were ten, which should be the Three Souls and Seven Spirits.

Yet his soul was still connected to his physical body, not fully detached.

Fang Zhou attempted to fly further away but found himself pulled back by his body, unable to leave.

He also found that he couldn’t return to his body; the soul was not under his control, just hovering above his body’s head.

This bizarre situation left Fang Zhou a bit panicked, but he quickly realized what was happening and knew there was only one solution.

He began to employ the method for Divine Soul solidification that he had learned from the Kun Chapter.

The effect was immediate; the previously overlapping Three Souls and Seven Spirits gradually solidified and fused into one.

The entire process lasted several hours before Fang Zhou’s Three Souls and Seven Spirits were completely unified, with no trace of overlapping images.

After solidifying his Divine Soul, although he still couldn’t detach from his body, Fang Zhou was able to control himself.

With a slight thought, the solidified Divine Soul immediately retracted back into his body.

Upon returning to his body, Fang Zhou immediately employed the method for awakening his origin power.

In a trance, Fang Zhou saw memories of his two lifetimes flash by in a cinematic sequence, eventually converging in his brain and igniting an intangible flame.

This flame, invisible and intangible, perceived only by Fang Zhou, was his origin power, imprinted strongly with his personal mark, which wouldn’t fade even if he reincarnated.

Mysteriously, there was a faint trace of silver light within the flame, from an unknown source.

When both the solidification of the Divine Soul and the awakening of origin power were complete, the conversion of Spiritual Energy was like opening a floodgate, turning the trickle into a turbulent flow.

A massive amount of Spiritual Energy was transformed into Innate True Qi, beginning the process of strengthening and remodeling Fang Zhou’s body.

This transformation was unlike the slow process during Foundation Establishment; it was rapid and overwhelming, akin to a flood’s torrent, unstoppable as it surged forth at the peak moment.

Fang Zhou’s body began to glow and heat up, perspiring profusely and evaporating quickly into a surge of steam, as Spiritual Energy erupted from his pores, blowing away his clothes and everything within the room.

Outside the room, Du Ruxue widened her eyes, clenching her fists tightly, unaware of the nails digging into her palms, her gaze locked onto Fang Zhou, unwilling to look away for a moment.

Her heart was pounding wildly, her mind a jumbled mess from shock, with only one thought echoing in her head.

Is he really about to advance to the Innate Realm?!

Has a miracle really happened?!

Inside the room was filled with steam, a white mist covering everything, while the temperature continued to rise.

As the vast amount of mist came into contact with the walls, floor, and ceiling, it condensed into liquid, only to be swiftly evaporated by the intense heat.

Du Ruxue was so shocked she almost stopped breathing, because all this mist was pure Spiritual Energy, vaporized Spiritual Energy.

This was merely a small portion that leaked from Fang Zhou’s body; the total amount of Spiritual Energy he stored inside was unimaginable.

The room’s temperature continued to soar, transmitting through the walls to the outside, allowing Du Ruxue, standing several meters away, to feel the waves of heat.

She subconsciously took a deep breath, inhaling the high-concentration Spiritual Energy that dispersed outside along with the heat wave.

This concentration of Spiritual Energy exceeded any Cave Heaven Blessed Land, also containing a lot of the medicinal power left undigested by the elixirs Fang Zhou had consumed.

That one breath was enough to make Du Ruxue feel a tingling pleasure in her scalp, as her body, like a dry sponge, craved to absorb more, wishing she could just rush inside and lay down.

Instinctively, she took several deep breaths, each one a gain not to be wasted.

This high-concentration Spiritual Energy was not just basic Spiritual Energy but contained vaporized essence from Fang Zhou’s bodily fluids.

Du Ruxue’s behavior was almost that of a crazed fanatic, indirectly consuming Fang Zhou’s bodily fluids.

She was so overwhelmed by the pleasure it was like being on drugs, not caring even if she realized it.

While she was eagerly absorbing Spiritual Energy, she suddenly heard a muffled sound coming from inside the room, like a drum being beaten, growing louder and more urgent, as if an iron rod were being brutally slammed onto a leather drum.

A stunning thought crossed Du Ruxue’s mind–this was Fang Zhou’s heartbeat, mighty enough to be deafening.

As the intense heartbeat crescendoed, Du Ruxue’s own heart rhythm also intensified, racing along.

Instinctively, she placed her hand on her heaving chest, but even her hand started to tremble, unable to still the throbbing.

She stepped back in surprise, and the terrifying heartbeat gradually quieted and faded until it was gone.

Immediately, there was a long inhale resembling a thirsty dragon drinking, as all the high-concentration Spiritual Energy and heat waves suddenly reversed course.

Even the vaporized Spiritual Energy inside the room contracted back to Fang Zhou, all drawn into his nostrils.

He sat quietly cross-legged inside, as Du Ruxue was preparing to approach and get a closer look, she saw Fang Zhou suddenly open his eyes, shooting out two beams of intense light piercing through the door toward her.

Du Ruxue was caught off guard by the light, letting out a cry of pain, her eyes aching so badly she thought she might have gone blind.

Inside, Fang Zhou leaped upward, breaking through the roof, ascending ten meters into the air, spiraling around before finally hovering still.

For the first time, Fang Zhou achieved flight and levitation not relying on the Xuanyuan Sword, but his own power.

The Innate Realm, achieved!

Du Ruxue endured the pain in her eyes, dumbfoundedly gazing up at Fang Zhou.

At this moment, only one thought echoed in Du Ruxue’s mind–she had witnessed history, the history of someone achieving the Innate Realm in less than fifty days.
