Chu Shen felt that leaving in such a carefree manner, Forget Dust should not be involved with someone like Yuan Tao. He had worried too much.

However, he was a man, and behind him were his woman, his child, his home. He had to consider more.

He apologized to Forget Dust in his heart and turned his head to the concubines, saying, "Alright, things have temporarily come to an end. But as you have seen, even a sacred place like Langhun Heavenly Palace is not free from filth. Each and every one of you should not slack off and strive to have more strength, so that you can be free to do anything."

The concubines responded loudly, but also rejoiced that this disaster did not cause harm to their family. Yingying and Yanyan ran up to Chu Shen, surrounding him and asking him to tell them the specific situation.

Chu Shen was very proud of his victory today and immediately began to vividly describe how he had thrown explosive talismans and defeated nine Qi Refining seventh and eighth level sword cultivators who had surrounded him.

He described how dangerous it was when those guys took advantage of his attention being drawn by the giant python and launched a surprise attack.

He also described how satisfied he felt when those guys were engulfed by firepower.

Except for Shu Rong, who lacked emotions and interest in many things, the concubines, who were originally ordinary people, had never experienced such a scene of battle. They were all shouting and screaming, feeling extremely satisfied, and had a more complete motivation for cultivation. Chu Shen was quite pleased with this.

Just at this moment, when he was in an extremely relaxed state of mind, he suddenly felt a strong spiritual energy expanding from within his body, rushing straight to his forehead. It was as if some shackles had been shattered in that instant.

His entire body's meridians reached their limit, and the spiritual energy field that had been stable and orderly around his body also rapidly changed. It seemed to establish some kind of connection with the surrounding natural spiritual energy, constantly surging and pouring in.

Chu Shen immediately stopped in his tracks, standing still, experiencing this wonderful feeling.

The concubines who were about to approach him to inquire about his actions were stopped by Shu Rong.

Consistently lacking in emotions, she, who was usually silent, unexpectedly showed a flicker of excitement in her eyes and slowly spoke, "He, has, achieved enlightenment."

The concubines knew that she wouldn't harm Chu Shen, and many of them had already made progress in their cultivation, so they naturally understood the significance of what Shangguan Shuyong said about enlightenment. They immediately stopped in their tracks and no longer disturbed Chu Shen.

At the same time, it was surprising that Shangguan Shuyong was now able to speak. They all gathered around her, chattering incessantly.

It's unclear where they found so much to say, but they were making a fuss and bothering the usually quiet Shangguan Shuyong, causing her to become flustered and absent-minded.

It wasn't until a gust of spiritual energy suddenly erupted from Chu Shen's direction, causing the wind to blow so strongly that the skirts of many concubines fluttered. They exclaimed in surprise that even when he achieved enlightenment, Lord Husband still didn't forget to act like a rogue.

Chu Shen himself, who was being teased, didn't have time to joke around with the concubines. He realized that the spiritual power within his body was continuously gathering and condensing, gradually... transforming from gas to liquid, condensing into a sea of Qi.

He had successfully reached the eighth level of Qi Refining!

And this breakthrough was still ongoing!

In his visualization, the originally gentle and misty sea of Qi had now "started to rain," followed by a "flood," with astonishing power, yet also following a certain mysterious pattern.

At the moment when spiritual energy was continuously absorbed from the outside, a vast expanse was rapidly taking shape!

No, it's not enough. The concentration of spiritual energy in the natural world is still too low, even though this is the Feng Shui treasure land of Langxuan Heavenly Palace, it is not enough to support his continued breakthrough.

Chu Shen, who was fortunate enough to have received the system's rewards, didn't care about wasting them. Subconsciously, he took out a large number of high-quality spirit stones and consumed a large amount of the system's rewards, perfect-grade Qi Condensing Pills, pouring them into his mouth.

As a result, spiritual energy surged into his body and crazily transformed into a part of the vast sea.

Such intense changes, and yet Chu Shen can still withstand them. The baptism of spiritual energy and the continuation of the spiritual rhythm platform!

Until this moment, it seems that the amount of spiritual energy barely satisfies his needs. The transformation process within his body begins to stabilize, and the Qi Sea has truly become an endless expanse in his visualization.

Even within it, there is a more condensed spiritual energy moon, slowly taking shape and connecting with his spiritual roots, resembling a thriving ancient tree slowly lifting this moon from the sea towards the sky.

This phenomenon not only exists in his visualization but also in reality. The image of a giant tree formed by the intertwining of gold and water attributes, lifting the moon out to sea, starts from his forehead and slowly expands until it covers his entire body.

Ninth level of Qi Refining!

And it is the ninth level of Qi Refining with anomalies!

This scene astonishes the Chu family concubines who have never seen this before.

However, they do not know that Chu Shen, who has been strengthened by a large number of treasures such as the Pure Dust Yuanhua, Divine Comfort Tianyuan, and Original Soul Jade, has actually surpassed many others in terms of aptitude and potential. He has stepped into the realm of "genius" and even "super genius," so it is normal for anomalies to occur during his promotion. The current anomalies are not very significant because he is still in the growth stage.

It's just that at this point, Chu Shen's enlightenment is almost over. He ultimately did not kick open the door to the Foundation Building stage.

It's not that he can't kick it open, but rather that he doesn't want to.

Because he senses in the depths of his being that before he kicks open that door, it would be best for him to make some preparations, such as raising the grade of his spiritual roots a bit higher. That would bring him greater benefits.

So he forcibly suppressed the impulse to advance to the Foundation Building stage and slowly woke up from his contemplation.

"My husband, how are you?" the concubines asked with concern.

Chu Shen waved his hand, "I'm fine, I feel great."

But the feeling of that strange state still lingered around him.

...

Originally, he had no spiritual roots and appeared as a reward from the system, gaining promotion.

His strength did not rely on spiritual roots, but on the system, so he never really paid much attention to it.

Even his several children had much higher spiritual root grades than him. For example, his eldest daughter, Chu Huaiyue, had a fourth-grade wood attribute spiritual root.

And him?

Currently, he only had a water attribute spiritual root brought by Shu Rong from the Shangguan family. Its grade had reached seventh due to his fondness for Shu Rong, but it seemed to have reached its limit in terms of growth. At least Shu Rong couldn't help him continue to improve. The system has certain limitations on the rewards it provides to each person.

In addition, there was the half-golden spiritual root gifted by Xiao Hongling. It was called half because his relationship with Xiao Hongling hadn't reached the point where the progress bar for the [Spiritual Root Sprouting: Golden] was filled.

But now, it seemed that he needed to put more thought into his spiritual roots...
