But now, with the system directly granting him one, things were far simpler.
Satisfied, Ye Chen withdrew his mind from the system space, a faint smile lingering on his lips.
"Xiao Yi Xian is already pregnant... I wonder if Teacher Yun is as well."
His gaze shifted toward the stone bed where Yun Yun had once lain.
The encounters had been only a few days apart ..... if the life essence he'd infused into her had taken effect, then within the next ten days he should receive the notification of her pregnancy. If not... then this time hadn't worked.
"Forget it. I'll think about that later."
He shook his head lightly, turning his focus back to cultivation.
"I still have several bottles of Amethyst Source Essence from the Amethyst Winged Lion King's lair. Now's the perfect time to absorb them."
Retrieving a small jade bottle, Ye Chen uncorked it, revealing a viscous, glowing violet liquid within.
This Amethyst Source Essence was said to help a fourth-rank Amethyst Lion evolve to the fifth rank ....its energy was truly immense.
If Ye Chen could absorb it fully, his strength would surely soar once more.
Without hesitation, he tilted the bottle and drank.
A surge of heat exploded within him the moment the essence entered his body.
Fiery energy flooded his meridians, seeping into his bones and blood.
Ye Chen immediately activated the Devouring Origin Art, drawing the wild energy under control.
The essence's power was immense and violent, yet under the art's devouring flow, it transformed into pure, refined energy that merged seamlessly with his body.
His physique, already reinforced by the Dragon-Elephant Body and tempered by the Thunder Wings, could easily withstand the impact.
One bottle wasn't enough to test his limits. Without pause, Ye Chen grabbed a second and downed it in one go.
The heat within his body intensified, turning his skin faintly crimson.
Under the circulation of the Devouring Origin Art, streams of violet energy surged into his Dou Crystal ..... the sea-urchin-shaped crystal that marked his breakthrough into the Dou Spirit realm.
The energy compressed, condensed, and then—
Ye Chen's aura began to climb once again.
After about an hour, his Dou Qi surged violently, breaking past the peak of Four-Star Dou Spirit....
Five-Star Dou Spirit!
A complete portion of Amethyst Source Essence could elevate a fourth-rank lion beast to the fifth rank.
For Ye Chen to rise a full star from just one-third of that amount showed how terrifying his absorption had become.
Even after reaching Five-Star, his aura continued to rise steadily, showing no signs of stopping.....
Crack!"
A muffled sound echoed from within Ye Chen's body as his cultivation surged upward once more, breaking through to the level of a Six-Star Dou Spirit.
Only when he was on the verge of stepping into the Seven-Star realm did the sudden increase finally stop.
"Six-Star Dou Spirit… not bad at all."
Feeling the powerful flow of Dou Qi circulating through his meridians, Ye Chen smiled with satisfaction.
This trip into the Magical Beast Mountains had proven fruitful beyond expectation.
With the help of the Basic Experience Pill, the Wings of Thunder, and the Companion Amethyst Source, his strength had leapt across an entire major realm in less than half a month ....an improvement rate so fast it was almost frightening.
What made it even more astonishing was that all three of these rapid breakthroughs had no hidden drawbacks.
The strength gained from the Experience Pill felt as solid as if he had painstakingly cultivated it himself.
The fusion with the Wings of Thunder and the baptism of lightning had tempered his Dou Qi into an even more condensed form.
And the absorption of one-third of the Companion Amethyst Source's energy had caused no internal instability whatsoever.
Still, Ye Chen knew he hadn't yet fully adapted to the power of the Dou Spirit realm.
Of the four bottles containing the Amethyst Source, he had only consumed one-third.
The rest, he decided, would be absorbed slowly later on.
"Alright… it's time to leave this place."
Stretching lazily, Ye Chen stood and walked out of the cave.
"Activate."
With a single thought, a pair of silver wings several meters wide unfurled from his back.
A gentle flap sent him soaring into the sky, transforming his figure into a streak of radiant silver light.
