I Stayed At Home For A Century, When I Emerged I Was Invincible Chapter 40 - Breaking Through To The Emperor Realm

Chapter 40: Breaking Through To The Emperor Realm

At a certain point, it was as if he had broken past a bottleneck.

Boom!

Chu Xuan’s physical body was transforming, and his spiritual will was also transforming.

The transformation was even more intense than when a mortal broke through to the profound realm.

The small courtyard was still calm, and one could not sense the slightest movement from within.

Chu Xuan, who was sitting cross-legged, was experiencing extreme sublimation and stepping into a brand new world.

His spiritual will began to condense, and a rumbling sound could be heard inside his mind. It was almost as if there was an invisible barrier preventing his spiritual will from further sublimating.

Boom!

His spiritual will was like a big hammer, constantly hammering away at that invisible barrier.

His physical body and spiritual power were also sublimating and transforming.

His bones were like jade, his marrow was like a wide river, and his blood was like a vast ocean.

Rumble…

His spiritual power and spiritual will fused together, creating a type of “divine soul power” that seeped out of his body, which merged with Heaven and Earth, and merged with the laws of this world.

The transformation of his spiritual will continued, yet that invisible barrier seemed to be unbreakable.

As the infusion of the hundred years’ worth of cultivation continued, his comprehension of the Jade Void Immortal scripture continued to increase along with his cultivation base.

Chu Xuan was in a mysterious state.

After an unknown period of time, he finally penetrated that thin membrane and arrived in a new world.

A comfortable feeling surged into his soul.

Chu Xuan felt his entire body tremble as if he was experiencing catharsis.

At this moment, his spiritual will had been sublimated.

Boom!

A human-shaped spiritual will appeared in his mind.

One could vaguely see that it resembled Chu Xuan’s appearance.

Divine soul!

The fundamental sign of having broken through to the emperor realm was the transformation of one’s spiritual will to form a divine soul.

After forming a divine soul, even if one’s physical body was destroyed, as long as one’s divine soul escaped, one would be able to survive.

As the divine soul was being formed, the transformation continued.

The transformation of his spiritual power and physical body also continued.

The power of his divine soul spread out and connected with Heaven and Earth, merging with Heaven and Earth.

With the small courtyard at the center, ripples spread out in all directions.

One hundred meters, one kilometer…

The power of his divine soul continued to spread out and merge with Heaven and Earth. A special field gradually formed.

Chu Xuan was experiencing a breakthrough to the emperor realm.

He witnessed some of the laws of Heaven and Earth, and his comprehension of Heaven and Earth improved by leaps and bounds. It almost seemed like he had already seen the true essence of Heaven and Earth.

It was as if he could mobilize the great power of Heaven and Earth for his own use with just a thought.

It was as if he had built a new miniature world with himself as the center and, within this miniature world, everything was controlled by him.

He was the ruler of this miniature world, and the supreme law of land.

As his divine soul continued to solidify, Chu Xuan was able to witness more laws around him. In this vast world, there seemed to be some incomplete laws in his corner of the world.

Chu Xuan vaguely saw that the rules in the Southern Region seemed to have been broken in several places.

Perhaps this was the true cause behind the lack of an emperor-level character in the Southern Region.

Since the laws were incomplete, the power of the divine soul could not merge with the world and could not complete the final step in breaking through to the emperor realm.

Chu Xuan believed that perhaps some experts had condensed their divine souls, but because they could not merge its power with the laws here, nor integrate the laws into the divine soul, they could not construct a miniature world of their own.

As such, they had not completely broken through to the emperor realm.

They could only be considered half-emperors.

The broken laws of the Southern Region seemed to be gradually recovering.

After the laws recovered, perhaps those who possessed an emperor-level inheritance would be able to break through to the emperor realm.

However, Chu Xuan was an exception. He was not limited by the flaws of the laws in the Southern Region.

He encountered no problems in the process of breaking through to the emperor realm.

What his divine soul power merged with were not the laws of the Southern Region, but rather the laws of this vast world. These laws were of a higher level.

The transformation of his soul was not over yet.

The miniature world, with Chu Xuan at its center, was still expanding.

Three miles, five miles…

Gradually, his divine soul power spread out all the way to the Chu family’s ancestral residence.

At this moment, none of the secrets in the ancestral residence could be hidden from Chu Xuan.

Since he was using his emperor realm divine soul power, Chu Tianming and the other experts of the Chu family naturally would not be able to discover anything.

Chu Xuan could see that, in the depths of the Chu family’s ancestral residence, there were several figures in closed-door cultivation inside the forbidden area.

Their auras indicated that they were somewhere between the unity realm and the void realm.

With just a little more effort, they would be able to break through to the unity realm.

Chu Xuan was puzzled. Did the Chu family really not have any hidden unity realm experts as their foundation?

Was it due to the cultivation method that they were unable to break through to the unity realm?

Or was it because their innate talent was too poor?

It could not be denied that they indeed possessed a certain level of innate talent.

Among those few family elders that were in seclusion, none of them were weaker than Chu Tianming. It was likely that they were the hidden trump cards of the Chu family.

The Chu family had more than one treasured artifact. Together with those few family elders who were in seclusion, there was also a treasured artifact. Moreover, it was a high-grade treasured artifact.

Although it was not as good as the spirit severing saber, it still reached the level of a high-grade treasured artifact.

The power of his divine soul continued to spread out.

The Chu family’s territory had a circ.u.mference of 12 li, and the ancestral residence was at its core. Beyond it were the servants’ residences, and the stewards’ residences, which protected the ancestral residence.

Finally, the power of his divine soul covered the entirety of the Chu family’s territory, and the miniature world that Chu Xuan had constructed similarly covered the Chu family’s territory.

At this moment, Chu Xuan realized that the structure of the Chu family’s territory was actually an array formation.

During critical moments, the Chu family could use this array formation to defend themselves, or unleash powerful attacks.

This was the true foundation of the Chu family.

After seeing this array formation, Chu Xuan understood that the ancestors of the Chu family were quite capable.

Perhaps the array formation had been excavated from some ancient ruins.

In fact, the Chu family’s territory was also the site of an ancient ruin.

The transformation of his divine soul was coming to an end.

The construction of his miniature world was coming to an end.

The breakthrough continued.

Once the transformation of his divine soul was complete, and the construction of his miniature world was complete, at that time, he would have truly stepped into the emperor realm.

The other sign of an emperor realm expert, aside from one’s spiritual will transforming into a divine soul, was the ability to control a “domain”.

This was the “miniature world” that Chu Xuan was constructing.

The emperor realm!

The description of the emperor realm in the cultivation world could be summarized in one sentence.

“I am the emperor of my domain, and my laws are absolute!”

This was the power of the emperor realm.

No matter how many truth realm experts there were, they were just ants inside the domain of an emperor realm expert.

One thought could decide the life and death of the people inside the domain!

When the emperor was angry, the land would be filled with millions of corpses!

Chu Xuan started to retract the power of his divine soul as well as the power of his domain.

He had already broken through to the emperor realm.

He was now a first-level emperor realm cultivator.

With his current strength, his domain just happened to cover the territory of the Chu family.

In other words, it covered a radius of 12 li.

With just a thought, he could control everything within this 12 li radius.

Normally, the domain of an emperor who had just broken through would only be around three li, while the domain of a powerful first-level emperor would only be around five li.

Chu Xuan’s domain was no weaker than that of an ordinary third-level emperor realm expert.

The breakthrough continued.

His 100 years’ worth of cultivation was still being digested.

His divine soul power paused for a moment over the Chu family’s ancestral residence.

Chu Xuan noticed that there was an underground s.p.a.ce at the core of the Chu family’s ancestral residence.

As expected, this place was once an ancient ruin.

The Chu family had relied on this to develop.

The Qin, Zhao, and He family territories should be similar as well.

Chu Xuan did not probe further. Even if it was an ancient ruin, the underground s.p.a.ce did not have much value to Chu Xuan.

It did not give him any special feeling.

The power of his divine soul was constantly being retracted, and the power of his domain had already been fully withdrawn.
