Chapter 1059: Chapter 1079: Ancient Great Witch_1

Spiritual Essence was like soft white jade, containing extremely pure spiritual energy and emitting bright and gentle white light. The surrounding air also rippled with a sense of tranquility.

Lin Chen held the Spiritual Essence, and the pure spiritual energy flowed into his body like a torrent, eventually entering his Dantian.

At this point, the Nascent Soul in Lin Chen’s Dantian had completely changed its appearance, becoming incredibly solid and no longer as weak as before.

The Nascent Soul was extremely fragile and could only reside in a cultivator’s Dantian. If it were separated from the body, it would quickly dissipate. However, when a cultivator entered the Void Refinement Stage, the Nascent Soul would transform into a Primordial Spirit, which could exist independently without dissipating and even possess considerable fighting power.

The Spiritual Essence had a significant effect on the advancement of cultivators, but Lin Chen had already entered the god-transformation stage. The spiritual energy required for promotion was at least ten times more than that during the Nascent Soul Stage.

Lin Chen absorbed the spiritual energy of the Spiritual Essence very quickly, consuming one Spiritual Essence in just three days.

While cultivating, Lin Chen waited for news from Yelü Yuan and Gao Yi. He wasn’t in a hurry, as cultivating anywhere was still cultivating.

Half a year passed in a blink of an eye. Lin Chen had absorbed all fifty pieces of Spiritual Essence, greatly increasing the amount of spiritual energy in his Dantian, making his Primordial Spirit increasingly solid. However, it seemed there was still a slight gap to reach the mid-stage of god transformation.

Lin Chen couldn’t help but sigh, the advancement was truly difficult after entering the god-transformation stage!

Cultivators sought after a single piece of Spiritual Essence, yet he had snatched fifty all at once, and surprisingly, he still hadn’t crossed a single level!

No wonder cultivators who advanced a level after entering the god-transformation stage often took decades, as advancing solely by absorbing Spirit Stones or Heavenly Earthly Spiritual Qi was as slow as a crawling turtle.

As Lin Chen lamented, Yelü Yuan and Gao Yi returned.

When the two entered the cave and saw Lin Chen, their expressions were immediately filled with surprise.

Because Lin Chen was cultivating, he hadn’t hidden his breath, so the two easily felt the difference between Lin Chen now and when they last met.

Lin Chen had grown stronger!

Significantly stronger!

Gao Yi asked in surprise, "Have you reached the mid-stage of god transformation?"

Lin Chen said with a bitter smile, "No, the difficulty of advancement is much greater than I imagined. I feel like I’m just a little bit off."

Gao Yi asked in amazement, "How did you cultivate? Your progress is so fast! It’s only been half a year since we left!"

"Fifty pieces of Spiritual Essence."

Lin Chen candidly replied, "I snatched them from the Ancient Mining Field and used them all up, but still didn’t advance."

Gao Yi gasped, "Spiritual Essence? That’s a product of the demon race’s territory, cultivators can’t get their hands on it! It’s rare to find one, yet you snatched fifty!"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "I got lucky and happened to be at the right place at the right time."

Gao Yi laughed bitterly, "No wonder you’re the Human Emperor! With your advancement speed, I’m afraid it won’t be long before you reach the Hollow Void Realm. By then, there won’t be many opponents in the world who can stand against you... "

Lin Chen laughed and said, "That’s not necessarily true. There are so many powerful people in this world. I always wonder how they are so strong without being in the Tribulation Crossing Period or immortals, but possess power far beyond the Hollow Void Realm..."

Gao Yi replied, "The people you are talking about are not from this era, but from ancient times, right?"

Lin Chen nodded his head, looking at Gao Yi with anticipation, "Yes."

Gao Yi asked, "Can you tell me who it is?"

Lin Chen candidly replied, "The Immortal Slave from the Valley of Death. After all, she’s considered a Half Immortal, so her being more powerful than those in the Hollow Void Realm is understandable. But then, I encountered an old woman who claimed to be the Demon Ancestor. She was very strong and couldn’t be suppressed even by the Emperor’s Seal..."

"Demon Ancestor?"

Gao Yi’s expression changed as he stared straight at Lin Chen, "You’ve seen her? A living Demon Ancestor?"

Lin Chen nodded, "Yes, she was sleeping in a black stone coffin, and I saw the Red Dragon King and others reviving her. They were very respectful and called her the Demon Ancestor..."

Gao Yi’s expression was extremely solemn, "The Demon Ancestor has been resurrected? This is extremely bad news for the Human Clan!"

Lin Chen inquired, "Brother Yi, do you know the origin of the Demon Ancestor?"

Lin Chen had asked Nalan Wushuang about the Demon Ancestor’s origin before, but Nalan Wushuang had also said she was unclear about it. She had only followed the Demon Emperor’s orders to resurrect the Demon Ancestor in the underground tomb.

Gao Yi replied, "I’ve studied various ancient records and have a better understanding of ancient times. The Demon Ancestor is an honorary title given to her by the demon race, not a level of cultivation. Her real title is the Great Witch."

"Great Witch?"

Lin Chen was puzzled, "What level of cultivator is the Great Witch? It’s not in the hierarchy of cultivatior levels, is it?"

Gao Yi laughed bitterly, "Of course not. If you understand the chronological order, you won’t find it strange."

Lin Chen blinked, his expression shocked as he understood the implicit meaning in Gao Yi’s words.

"You mean... the existence of the Great Witch predates the establishment of the Cultivator’s strength hierarchy?"
