Chapter 172: Chapter 12 My Life: Full Effort from Birth (Third Update)

"Compared to this, the Wastelands in Zone D8B3 are quite poor; each shelter is a sad collection of mismatched parts, but most safe zones are like this anyway. Female Void Palace is one of the few major powers after all."

Xu Shu continued the legend:

[An hour later, Xiao Chan returned to the mountain gate of the Female Void Palace. After passing through several layers of guards, she returned to her residence.]

[You find your tremendous power constantly draining away. Transported from ruins to reality, the power you can wield has utterly dissipated; you’ve become a true Curse Baby.]

[You possess the strength of the Half-step Vajra Realm; your body is like an unbreakable, grandiose empty water bucket, not a single drop left.]

[You need to cultivate again, and you must follow the current rules—the Sealing Technique.]

[Once, you simply had to practice to gain power, but the past is the past, and now is now.]

[To regain your power, apart from absorbing the curse power of erosion, you also need to acquire the corresponding Curse Seal.]

[You begin to earnestly practice your punches, developing skillfully as if born to it, starting your cultivation even within the womb.]

[You cultivate from dusk until the next morning, and from morning through to the evening.]

[During this time, you vaguely feel yourself occasionally moving with your mother, coupled with the sense of weightlessness during her searching and the breeze blowing in, you deduce she got up twice at night and went to the toilet five times during the day.]

[This is a personal privacy matter, not for outsiders to know, but as an insider fully involved, it now becomes a private affair for two.]

[In this day and night, you tally up her bathroom visits: once for a big one and six times for small ones, with the big one lasting twenty-four minutes—damn it, what is she doing? Reading the newspaper while on the loo? Such behavior is imprudent; for you, it’s actually quite perilous.]

[You curse silently, disgusted to find that even a Second-order Transcendent still retains basic metabolic needs, not having achieved a flawless Jade Body, which greatly disappoints you.]

[You wonder when you’ll meet a real fairy who doesn’t need to go to the bathroom. You believe such a target exists on this mountain, which is quite extensive, and you want to explore it.]

[But you can’t move; not yet capable of leaving the womb.]

[Once you recultivate the first phase of the Nine Phases Diagram, you can start to unravel the mystery of the womb and control the infant soul curse to secretly wiggle out for limited movement. You can choose to practice the old Nine Phases first, or freely choose a new Nine Phases.]

[But for now, you can only honestly practice your punches.]

[Bang bang bang... bang bang bang...]

[During this day and night of punching, you sense that Xiao Chan is consuming the Erosion Crystal to cultivate her Curse Seal.]

[Who would’ve thought, her Promotion Drive actually originates from her...]

[This Erosion Crystal is incredibly precious; for you, it’s a huge tonic, so you intercept one-tenth of the curse power she’s absorbing, you...]

[You leave that one-tenth for Xiao Chan!]

[As for the remaining nine-tenths, you spare no polite refusal, gulping it down like a whale, absorbing it all into your Curse Fetus body.]

["Sorry, Mom, you’ll need to eat more from now on," you, as a baby, now require a massive amount of curse power.]

[Xiao Chan vaguely feels something is not quite right. She took medicine last night and no longer feels pain in her waist—actually, she has grown accustomed to your presence, and your small-scale punches no longer bother her.]

[The odd sensation she perceives isn’t that, but rather, today’s efficiency in absorbing the curse power of erosion is terribly low.]

["Seems that even one as talented as I can hit a plateau," she muses. From now on, her cultivation must become even more diligent.]

[After you steal most of her curse power of erosion, your cultivation makes great strides, and soon you are at the step right before the first phase of the "old Nine Phases Diagram": the "Ox Prisoner."]

[Time flies; from the success of your reincarnation to catching up with the present moment in time, a blink of an eye signals the passing of a day and night. As night is about to fall, the Chapter of your legend draws to a close.]

[You are just a little short of a breakthrough, alas, Xiao Chan’s activity of consuming the Erosion Crystal is over, which means you can no longer progress for now. You are firmly trapped, much like the ’Ox Prisoner’.]

[Your Curse Fetus will continue to grow with the maternal body, and there’s even the hope of nourishing her in return as you grow up, but this requires her to put in enough effort first.]

[Life is like a game of chess, with irrevocable moves. You are dissatisfied with your mother’s lax cultivation, but powerless to do anything about it. You can’t scold her now. Maybe she has already tried hard enough, or maybe she needs more motivation? Who knows.]

[Ten thousand years have transformed seas into mulberry fields, and your legend has reemerged among mortals. This time, born as Vajra, can you overturn this apocalyptic world? Looking forward to you continuing the saga...]

——

Whoosh!

Xu Shu’s surrounding darkness dispersed, his consciousness rose to infinite heights, then slowly settled back into place.

He opened his eyes to find the sky was dark, and the moon was climbing over the mountains.

He had started at 6:10 in the morning, and now that the legend was over, it was evening.

"Sure enough, whether it’s creating a legend or continuing one, the time I need to spend in legendary mode is calculated at 4 hours/session. Three sessions amount to twelve hours!

"And if it happens to coincide with the time passing 6 PM in my reality, it ends ’perfectly’ just like in the journey mode!"

"But the overall timeline of continuing the legend starts from yesterday when I parted with Xie Xiaochan, and ends today after I ran out of legendary sessions. It can’t continue further?

"Oh, it seems like anything further belongs to the ’foreseeing the future’ part. Maybe I need to use journey mode to unlock it..." Xu Shu pondered thoughtfully.

Wonder what rewards I’ll get this time? Only a day and a night in legend, it’s a bit uncertain...

With this thought, Xu Shu’s eyes twinkled as he looked toward the Tai Chu Scroll.

The Tai Chu Scroll fluttered, spewing out streams of information:

"Calculating your legendary achievements..."

"Although you, born Vajra, had to make a comeback, you lived out a second life, resolved to be successfully born this time! — You’ve achieved the feat: Birth within Birth!"

"You opened your eyes and saw past complexities vanish like smoke, and future ones too elusive to grasp. But you refused to succumb to fate’s twists and turned. In your mother’s womb, you evolved myriad forms, pushing martial arts to a brand-new realm! — You’ve achieved the feat: Curse Fetus Martial Saint!"

"Generations bring forth new talents, as old brides give way to new. Xie Xiaochan repeatedly wished to be your sister, but in the end, she conceived your Dao Mark, becoming your new bride! — You’ve achieved the feat: Sister’s New Bride!"

Xu Shu: ?

F*ck, godd*mn bride! Can you even use the word like that?

Don’t just randomly simplify words!

——This time, only three achievements were completed.

Xu Shu felt a bit regretful, but mainly because there was so little time experienced; he wasn’t even able to break through the first phase of the Nine Phases Diagram.

The Tai Chu Scroll stopped turning, the three achievements faded one by one, eventually converging into a screen of light before Xu Shu, just like the beginning:

"Calculation complete."

"Final Evaluation: You, the newborn Vajra, have reappeared amongst mortals, your influence starting from a humble blade of grass. Although the ways of Heavenly Dao are vast and human paths are indistinct, faced with innumerable hardships, what does it count for you, who alone created new peaks of the Nine Phases Diagram with mere words?

"You are the true Martial Arts legend!"

"You have acquired the Mystical Chapter: Bloodline Harmony (Epic)!"

"Note: Mystical Chapters are items that seize the essence of heaven and earth, able to perform a second inscription on the Curse Seal, adding an extra attribute; each Curse Seal can only be inscribed with a Mystical Chapter once, please use with caution."

"Note: The attribute [Bloodline Harmony] belongs to the path of the Martial Artist, anciently known as — Martial Disciple!"
