Starting With Chaos Physique

Chapter 58 Absorbing the Lake Core Essence and the Feathered Sacred Heart Pill, the Chaos Spiritual Sea Expands Madly

This Lake Core Essence, aged millions of years, was as big as a washbasin.

It shimmered entirely in a dreamlike hue of lake water—deep azure, crystal clear, and ethereal—seeming to contain within it an infinite, boundless lake.

“If I can absorb the spiritual energy and Dao resonance contained in this Lake Core Essence, and leverage the miraculous effects of the Saint Heart Ascension Pill, I can push open the Heavenly Gate, carve my own realm, and ascend to the Heaven Splitting stage.”

Gu Changsheng sat cross-legged, muttering softly to himself.

A pill suffused with dense spiritual energy, its surface inscribed with divine patterns, rested in his hand. As it appeared, it exuded a rich medicinal fragrance, permeated with an aura of immortality.

Heaven and earth responded with visions: Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise seemed to manifest, recreating an ancient and vast celestial realm.

This was the Saint Heart Ascension Pill of the Qin family—a saint-grade pill.

It was said to be crafted by collecting immortal essence from beyond the Nine Heavens daily, combining it with over nine thousand divine herbs, and refining it in the Qin family’s Sacred Heart Furnace using the Eternal Flame. When consumed, even an ordinary cultivator could enhance their aptitude a thousandfold.

It could forcibly create a peerless prodigy.

Only one batch was produced every hundred thousand years, yielding merely ten pills. For external forces, acquiring even one was nearly impossible.

Without hesitation, Gu Changsheng swallowed the pill.

The moment it entered his stomach, it transformed into a gentle and abundant stream of energy, spreading through his entire being.

Heaven and earth were filled with phenomena.

Brilliant auroras surged; auspicious colors radiated.

Sounds of Dao reverberated, and thunder rolled across the eight directions.

Simultaneously, the Lake Core Essence in Gu Changsheng’s hand began to melt, releasing a vast energy that he absorbed, surrounding him with endless divine resonance and spiritual energy.

Dragons formed from spiritual energy roared into being, raising their heads and letting out deafening cries before being devoured by him one by one.

With each breath, he absorbed the profound truths and Dao resonances of the universe.

Behind him, an infinite and boundless sea of chaotic spiritual energy unfurled, stretching for a hundred thousand miles.

The spiritual energy within surged like mountainous waves.

A hazy green lotus took root in it, bridging heaven and earth, scattering radiant light.

This was the phenomenon of the Chaotic Lotus Uplifting the Cosmos!

Above the green lotus, a faint white-robed figure held a massive purple seal in one hand, exuding a majestic power akin to an immortal emperor descending to the mortal world.

The Immortal Emperor Bearing the Primordial Seal, surveying the Nine Heavens!

As countless streams of Dao resonance flowed toward him, the sea of chaos expanded continuously.

A hundred thousand miles!

One hundred fifty thousand miles!

Two hundred thousand miles!

…

This was an immeasurable power, surpassing cultivators of the same realm by tens of thousands of times!

Soon, a portal wreathed in lightning materialized—a simple yet profound structure adorned with the imagery of myriad beings.

The Heavenly Gate emerged!

Boom!

It was as if the first sound of creation echoed, the primordial tone of heaven and earth!

Subsequently, the chaos spiritual sea continued expanding as the Heavenly Gate opened slightly.

Gu Changsheng’s cultivation, at the peak of the Eighth Stage of the Earth Breaking Realm, soared directly to the peak of the Ninth Stage.

Nine Stages united, his spiritual sea became clear and pristine.

Then, the Primordial Furnace Sutra—Creation Volume surfaced on its own.

With a thunderous sound, as natural as flowing water, the Heavenly Gate fully opened.

Behind it lay an expanse of boundless chaos—a primal, ancient world yet to take form!

The Heaven Splitting Realm was achieved!

What would take ordinary cultivators years of tempering and effort to break through was a matter of moments for Gu Changsheng.

Following this, boundless Dao resonance and spiritual energy surged in crazily, causing the sea of chaos to expand further.

Within the Heavenly Gate, the chaotic space also grew, enveloped by an ancient, mysterious aura that filled the heavens.

A massive vortex of spiritual energy emerged in the sky.

Heaven Splitting Realm—First Stage.

Heaven Splitting Realm—Second Stage.

…

Third Stage!

Fourth Stage Peak!

That day, the entire divine island was shrouded in terrifying phenomena.

However, for the Gu family, this was nothing unusual.

Their Divine Son caused such heaven-shaking events with nearly every breakthrough—no one found it strange anymore.

Not long after, the celestial phenomena dissipated.

“Hmm, has the breakthrough ended?”

“The Divine Son’s breakthrough speed is truly astounding! He only went out for a short while, and now his cultivation level has surpassed everyone else’s.”

“The Divine Son is already invincible among peers in the same realm. If his cultivation surpasses others as well, how could other geniuses possibly compare?”

“It’s hopeless; the younger generation must feel utterly crushed under his dominance.”

Above the divine island, several figures hovered, smiling as they conversed, their gazes filled with admiration and pride.

The surrounding space shimmered faintly, as though separated by a veil of void.

Once the aura fluctuations within the divine island subsided, these figures disappeared, having been there to guard against disturbances during Gu Changsheng’s breakthrough.

“Peak of the Fourth Stage in the Heaven Splitting Realm—just one step away from the Realm of Fusion. It’s time to search for materials to forge the Divine Platform.”

In the palace, Gu Changsheng, clad in spotless white robes, emanated an aura obscured by a faint mist. Speaking softly to himself, he assessed his newfound power and glanced at the pile of ashes that had once been the Lake Core Essence.

This was a feat only he could achieve.

For an ordinary cultivator in the Heaven Splitting Realm, such overwhelming energy would have long caused their body to explode. Fusion would have been impossible.

Even if someone dared to attempt it, it would take decades or even centuries to integrate the energy slowly.

But for him, the process was completed in a single day, along with the absorption of a Saint Heart Ascension Pill.

This was the terrifying power of the Chaos Physique, granting limitless energy and a body as indestructible as immortal metal. There was no need to worry about being overwhelmed.

Gu Changsheng’s gaze shifted to a small book made of Da Luo Silver Gold in his hand, his expression tinged with intrigue.

“The Heavenly Scripture Divine Manual from the Heavenly Dao Sect,” he murmured.

“It’s extraordinary. The clan must have gone to great lengths to acquire it.”

“This could become an unmatched treasure, containing the power of Nine Heavens Lightning. Its might would be devastating for both sealing and slaying, capable of summoning the power of the eight directions, resembling floating stars crushing down.”

The Heavenly Dao Sect was an extremely mysterious immortal power. In ancient times, they acted on behalf of the heavens, governing lightning penalties and the tribulations of cultivators.

Later, their Heavenly Dao Decree was shattered by multiple immortal forces, and the governance of tribulation lightning returned to the heavens.

Gu Changsheng began studying the crafting method of the Heavenly Scripture Divine Manual in detail.

Each character, radiant like a star, emitted an unbearable brilliance that ordinary cultivators could not gaze upon for long. Their eyes would falter.

The book detailed the crafting, nurturing, and activation of the treasure.

Unlike most artifacts, the Heavenly Scripture Divine Manual could grow alongside its wielder, becoming stronger as their strength increased—a rarity among treasures.

Typically, cultivators began nurturing their life-bound treasures in the Spirit Nurturing Realm, forging weapons bound to their life force. To nurture multiple treasures required immense energy and cultivation.

But the Heavenly Scripture Divine Manual was different. It required only the wielder’s strength to grow, making it exceptionally convenient.
