Journey to the West: Signing in for 500 Years-Chapter 318 - 312: Consecutive Breakthroughs, Primeval Chaos Law Body【Seeking Subscription and Monthly Tickets】_1
Sha Chen had broken through. He had refined all the Honghuang Creation Qi. Then his body, without any accidents, directly broke through and condensed the Primeval Chaos Law Body. Every muscle in his body seemed filled with vitality, and the three hundred and sixty vital energy points in his body all seemed to have opened. Sha Chen could feel that after these points opened, an endless amount of power surged forth from within. Simultaneously, an endless amount of power was absorbed and expelled, like the gaping maw of a gluttonous beast.
Sha Chen only felt it for a moment before he became aware of the wonder of his body—how immense its power was, how vast its aura. Not only were the energy points filled with power, but they were also filled with this aura. Some energy points contained a terrifying fiery light—the will of fire, specifically the will of Samadhi True Fire. As Sha Chen’s spirit merged with his body, he also saw the Yuanfeng True Fire within other energy points, endless and full of vitality. He witnessed energy points containing vast oceans, boundlessly majestic with raging waves, a whole Ze Country. He also saw desolate, endless deserts with no visible limits, only skies filled with flying sand. Of course, a purple thunder domain also manifested within the energy points. Sha Chen knew these special energy points contained his attribute Divine Powers, embodying unique attributes. Clearly, Sha Chen had mastered a considerable number of attribute Divine Powers, such as Samadhi True Fire, Yuanfeng True Fire, Imperial Gods’ Thunder, and the sandstorm attribute.
In fact, he also possessed the Plantain Fan, which could help him master the wind attribute, but he had not yet had time to study it. Now, with his vital energy points open, each one held a treasure—a treasure within his body! They all contained endless and boundless power! However, the energy points Sha Chen had developed were only in their initial stages. Though seemingly boundless, this was just his first encounter with them. Should he explore them further, he would find that their development had only just begun.
Legend had it that the Ancestral Witches could develop all three hundred and sixty major energy points of their physical bodies to Great Perfection, each one like a world of its own, containing endless and boundless power. Due to the attributes of their physical bodies, each energy point of an Ancestral Witch contained only one attribute. When released in battle, all points would erupt with Divine Power, ensuring their might would shake heaven and earth. It is said that Di Jiang, the foremost of the Ancestral Witches, reached Great Perfection in all three hundred and sixty major energy points. All were filled with Space Divine Power, enabling him to confront a Saint and retreat safely. Even a Sub-Sage battling Di Jiang, a Peak Quasi-Saint, would be no match for him! This showed how terrifyingly Di Jiang had developed his physical body. He truly had the power to move heaven and earth, to replace skies and lands.
It was just that his fate had run its course. Furthermore, since the Daoist Ancestor wouldn’t tolerate the existence of Ancestral Witches, the great war between witches and monsters raged relentlessly. This culminated in the battle at Buzhou Mountain, where Di Jiang and other Ancestral Witches fought Emperor Jun Donghuang, Xing Tian, and others. In the end, some died, and some disappeared. Heroes were left only in legends.
Sha Chen didn’t want to become a legend; he wanted to become strong but wouldn’t actively seek trouble. He resolved to develop enough strength to contend with Saints before venturing out, and even then, he wouldn’t antagonize them. Even an ordinary Saint isn’t a safe benchmark; I have to be stronger!
"Good, I have now broken through. My physical body has become a Primeval Chaos Law Body, at the level of an Ancestral Witch," Sha Chen mused. "However, it’s just the most rudimentary level; the energy points are not yet developed. But even with my current physical body, I could defeat ten of my former selves."
After Sha Chen’s cultivation breakthrough, his battle power had increased dramatically. He was now more than ten times stronger than before, and this was only from the improvement of his physical body. If his cultivation also caught up, his battle power would surely become even stronger. Even as he was, with his Primeval Chaos Law Body, he would be more formidable than an Initial Quasi-Saint of the same realm. Even Sha Chen felt that with his current level, if he leveraged his Magical Tools and various Divine Powers combined with his physical body, he might even challenge Bi Xiao of the San Xiao in arm wrestling.
The immense strength gave Sha Chen tremendous confidence, but it didn’t lead to blind arrogance or make him feel invincible. Instead, he became even more low-key and humble, acknowledging that he still had a long road ahead. Indeed, that was the case. Instead of relaxing after his physical breakthrough, Sha Chen decided to strike while the iron was hot and further strengthen himself. Although the possibility was slim, he continued to immerse himself in cultivation.
After another month of cultivation, Sha Chen suddenly sighed. It wasn’t that there was a problem with his cultivation, but that the mark he had left on the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi had been erased by the people of Buddhism. Jin Chanzi’s reincarnation, who had left the Flowing Sand River more than ten years prior, had been interrogated by Buddhism for over a decade and harassed by demons for the same duration. Just as he was about to reach Lingjiu Mountain, he encountered a demon and was eaten directly. With Jin Chanzi reincarnating again, the people of Buddhism personally sent someone to oversee and arrange a new life for this reincarnation. This time, they started monitoring from the Samsara Platform to see if anyone was up to no good. Only after confirming there were no issues did they relax a bit. But for over a decade, they hadn’t been able to get any answers out of him, as Jin Chanzi’s reincarnation seemed to be suffering from memory loss.
In any case, as long as a soul search wasn’t used, it was practically impossible to access the sealed memories, let alone the lost ones. As for a soul search, that was out of the question. That would directly turn Jin Chanzi’s reincarnation into an imbecile, which Buddhism would not allow. Moreover, without Tathagata’s permission, who would dare render Jin Chanzi an imbecile? Even if he died, it would affect his next life. No one dared to take responsibility. So, when Jin Chanzi’s reincarnation was about to arrive at Lingjiu Mountain, they let a demon eat him to its fill, thus ending that life.
Sha Chen murmured softly, Although I said I wanted you to accumulate merits over several lives and build up the power of your Primordial Spirit, knowing you’ve died, your master still feels a bit of loss.
Sha Chen sighed deeply, then shook his head and cast away the thought of loss.
After that, Sha Chen took out the Golden Dragon Scissors to refine them. Then he began to comprehend the core volumes of the Tao Te Ching and the Quasi-Saint Chapters of the Qingping Scripture and the Jade Purity Scripture. The Three Pure Ones Taoism was what Sha Chen focused on comprehending because his strength had increased, and he also had personal guidance from the Saint. Sha Chen had a profound understanding of Dao Techniques. With the Tao Te Ching as his foundation, he found it much easier to comprehend the other two Dao Techniques. Now, his cultivation made his perception of Dao Techniques even more profound at an imperceptible level. What made Sha Chen somewhat regretful was that the Tai Chi Diagram left by Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad was no longer of much use to him. It could indeed have helped one comprehend Dao Techniques faster, but at his current level, it wasn’t much of an aid anymore.
The resources are gone too; now I have to keep grinding, Sha Chen thought, once again facing the awkward situation of resource depletion. The last time he had a breakthrough in cultivation, he had almost stripped his field of all its First-class Immortal Elixir saplings due to insufficient resources. Thankfully, Lord Lao Zi was there, imparting some Divine Power to help him break through. But after stabilizing his corporeal body post-breakthrough, it was time for his cultivation to catch up; otherwise, he would become a giant walking on one leg.
「After half a year of arduous cultivation.」
Sha Chen suddenly opened his eyes, a look of delight flashing through them. He had heard a familiar voice. An hour later, someone was calling at the door. After they had been yelling for a quarter of an hour, Sha Chen finally responded.
The ones knocking were no strangers but Sha Chen’s earliest followers, the Seven Spider Sisters. All seven of them had returned. Although Sha Chen had known about their return, he didn’t rush to open the door for them. Instead, after a thorough check, he finally opened the door.
When the Seven Spider Sisters returned to the Flowing Sand River and saw Sha Chen again, finding him even sharper-featured and leaner than before, their eyes widened in astonishment. Sha Chen used to look like a bandit leader, but now he resembled a general renowned for rooting out bandits! The Seven Spider Sisters surrounded him. As they gazed at his handsome appearance, their eyes reddened. Seventh Mother said, "Big Brother, you’ve lost weight."
Sha Chen nearly spit out his tea. He had taken a long time to cultivate the surprise and emotion for their reunion, and in an instant, it was gone.
Seventh Mother threw herself at him, hugging Sha Chen and crying out loud, "Big Brother, I’m sorry! We came back too late and made you suffer."
Although Sha Chen was happy to see the Spider Sisters again, having them cling to him and feel him up all over made him uncomfortable. He was about to push them away. At that moment, Seventh Mother reached into her bodice, took out a storage bag, and presented it to Sha Chen. She refused to let go, clinging tightly to his arm. Then she said, "Big Brother, you’ve worked hard. These are the resources I’ve collected over the years. I hope they can help you, Big Brother, so you can eat more." 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
Sha Chen took it and was immediately both shocked and delighted. The resources were so plentiful, even more than what Dragon Girl and Ao Lie had brought him before—and this was just from Seventh Mother alone. As expected, the other sisters also took out their mustard seed pouches from their persons and handed them obediently to Sha Chen. He could smell a sweet fragrance even before opening them. Upon inspection, each pouch was a treasure trove, containing no less than what Seventh Mother had offered, if not more.
Sha Chen no longer minded Seventh Mother, San Niang, and the others clinging to him. He even opened his arms wide, allowing all the Spider Sisters to share his affection. He laughed heartily and said, "With sisters like you by my side, what more could a man ask for?"
With tear-filled eyes, Seventh Mother said, "Big Brother, you suffered in our absence. Now that we’re back, we’ll stay with you for a while and serve you well."
Sha Chen said, "There’s no need to be so formal. Now that you’re back, it’s my turn to serve you."
Having received such benefits, Sha Chen was in high spirits. The resources he had now were enough to last him several years.
Seventh Mother, snuggling beside Sha Chen, blew softly into his ear and said with a blush, "Big Brother, do you really want to serve us? Then cook for us, please."
Sha Chen stood up and said, "That’s easy."
The eyes of the seven sisters glowed with excitement. They knelt on the ground, ready to help Sha Chen undress.
But Sha Chen had already entered the kitchen and begun busying himself. Soon after, he emerged from the kitchen with seven bowls of noodles.
Then he said, "Please, don’t hesitate. Eat up."
