He opened his eyes to look at the stats, “These shitty titles,” he shook his head as he saw his old titles but then he continued reading further, “Oh two new titles, hmm the disciple one is due to my joining of this sect and what is this second one? False Chaotic Lifeform?”
He didn’t ask Yue Lan yet as he continued to look further below, “Oh damn, my physique got upgraded to Immortal Grade? Hmm…but it’s sealed, yet it made me a False Chaotic Lifeform…”
[The restrictions of your Primal Harmony Physique got extended to your False Chaos Physique, otherwise, there would have been a lot more complications if the transcended power descended to seal your physique again.]
Shen Yuan thought about his problem for a bit before shaking his head with a smile, “It’s all good now. Oh, and would you look at that, even the grade of my Purity Physique got upgraded huh.”
Shen Yuan smiled lightly at his upgraded stats, “No wonder I felt so much stronger than before. Now I only need to start learning the cultivation technique of the Radiant Lotus Sacred Sect.”
He sipped on his tea in a good mood after acquiring the physique, he continued looking further down the system screen, “Oh, you classified my talent into grades as well. Nice. and a separate tag for both Martial and Cultivation techniques and a whole new section for Intents as well…”
Shen Yuan continued to look at all the new updates, “You were right huh, you are constantly getting upgrad—” Just then, his eyes glanced at his remaining Chaos Coins.
And as soon as he saw the total value, his mouth spat out the tea he was drinking, “Why the hell is there a whole fucking 100,000 Chaos Coins less in that amount?? The physique was only 500,000 Chaos Coins, and I got like 1,000,000 after dual cultivating with Sister Huo. I never even managed to gather that much at once, and you deducted them?? Why?”
Shen Yuan asked as he felt his heart bleed at his loss, He who didn’t feel the slightest bit nervous when he found out that the hegemons of other higher worlds might send their lackeys towards his world in his search felt his heart bleed.
[Because it took more Chaos Coins to control your physique since it started acting all on its own again, it even disrupted the barrier between you and the rift.]
Shen Yuan felt like splurging a mouthful of blood after knowing that it was his own bloodline that made him suffer a loss, but he couldn’t do anything as he slumped on the chair and took out a wine gourd instead of the tea.
[What are you doing now?]
Yue Lan curiously asked him, looking at his actions.
“Drinking away my sorrows.” Shen Yuan replied as he took a big gulp of alcohol from the gourd.
Yue Lan’s giggling voice soon echoed inside of his mind, making his eyes twitch but he continued drinking wine.
After a while, he emptied the gourd as Yue Lan asked him,
[Now, what’s your plan?]
Shen Yuan raised his head and saw that it was already night, he stood up from his chair and headed towards his room, “What else? Going to meditate in the night to get used to my new body.”
He soon closed his gates after entering his room. He raised his head as the faint fragrance of last night’s activities still lingered in the air. He smiled faintly thinking about Huo Rong, “I wonder what she is doing right now?”
He shook his head with a smile, sat down on the bed, and began circulating the Primordial Vessel Cultivation Technique, feeling the energy traveling through his body.
“This damn hollow feeling…” He muttered in annoyance as he felt that familiar feeling again.
[You can buy a few techniques from the system store to fill a few dantians to get rid of this hollow feeling you know?]
Her lazy voice echoed as she didn’t want to see him suffer needlessly as well.
“Never mind, I will go and take the cultivation manual of the Radiant Lotus Sacred Sect tomorrow morning.” He shook his head and continued circulating the Primordial Vessel Cultivation Art throughout his body.
He tried to focus while cultivating, but it was difficult to shake off the uncomfortable emptiness that lingered within his dantians. Every time the energy passed through, it seemed to echo in a hollow void, a reverberating reminder to him that he needed to fill those dantians.
Yue Lan’s voice echoed lazily in his mind again.
[You really are a masochist huh? That feeling will get worse the longer you leave your dantians empty, you know. You could fill a few with some temporary techniques just to ease the discomfort. The system shop has more than enough techniques to fill this entire sect ground in their wake.
Shen Yuan opened one eye and groaned in annoyance. “I told you, I’m not wasting more Chaos Coins after that bullshit you pulled. I’ll get the cultivation techniques from the sect tomorrow for free anyway. Besides, I need to learn them to integrate properly into the sect anyway.”
Yue Lan was also too lazy to argue further with him as she gave one last comment,
[Suit yourself. Just remember, it’s your body that’s suffering, not mine since I don’t even have one hehe. The faster you fill those dantians, the sooner you can get relief from this mental torture.]
Shen Yuan exhaled slowly, pushing the discomfort aside as he focused on stabilizing his physique to not leave behind any imperfections in his constitution.
The sheer utility of it was still awe-inspiring to him, but he knew to truly reach the full potential of the physique, he would need to wait for a long while.
As the night went on, the moonlight filtered through the window, casting soft shadows across his room.
Eventually, his mind grew calm as he slipped deeper into meditation. The physiques and bloodline calmed down in his body as his breathing also slowed as if he became one with heaven and earth.
As the first rays of sunlight came into the room, Shen Yuan slowly opened his eyes, his mind refreshed after a night of deep meditation and relaxation after that intense cultivation session,
The hollow feeling inside of his dantian had lessened after meditating for the whole night, though it still lingered in the back of his head, making him annoyed constantly.
Sighing, he stretched his limbs as he swung his left leg off the bed. His body felt a lot lighter and stronger than yesterday, but he knew taking care of that hollowness was his top priority for now.
He stood up from the bed, heading outside of his room into the courtyard. The morning breeze blew on his face, making him refreshed as he stepped out and breathed in the fragrance of plum blossom. “Haah…still can’t compare to the fragrance of my Big Sister.” He spoke with a smirk feeling the fresh air.
The sight of the delicate pink petals reminded him of something as he shook his head with a smile. He made his way to the table beneath the plum blossom tree, where he had left his tea set the previous night since it was his own courtyard.
