When Xiang Yu finally reached the spirit vein, the hot sensation in his body was intensifying rapidly. His skin had already begun turning an alarming shade of red, radiating heat like a furnace. He wondered what kind of pill his junior sister had given him.
Even more surprising, he could feel unusual changes occurring within his soul infant as well. Without knowing the pill’s exact effects, he assumed the meditative position and began circulating energy to stabilize his condition. Despite his confusion, he trusted that Li Yao wouldn’t give him anything harmful—eccentric as she might be, she had consistently shown genuine care for his wellbeing.
As his meditation deepened, the heat continued rising relentlessly, building to what felt like a crescendo. Then suddenly, pain began lancing through his muscles—initially minor discomfort that rapidly increased in intensity and spread throughout his body. He could sense his internal organs shifting, rearranging themselves in complex patterns.
Though the sensations would have been excruciating for most cultivators, Xiang Yu found them relatively manageable. He reflected that the pain paled in comparison to what he’d endured when receiving the Chaos Body. Still, the similarities were striking enough for him to develop a hypothesis about the pill’s function—it likely had some sort of rebirth effect, similar to the transformation process when acquiring a physique.

This tumultuous reorganization of his physical essence continued for several more minutes before gradually subsiding. As the discomfort faded, his skin slowly reverted to its natural color.
As this transformation completed, an intriguing thought suddenly struck Xiang Yu. "There’s no way, right?" he wondered silently. Could this rebirth effect, despite being less profound than his physique acquisition, somehow trigger experience gain for his spiritual root that had just reached its maximum? He didn’t need much—just a single point of exp.
With cautious anticipation, he summoned his status screen:
[Body Refining: 14th Layer (1000/14,000)]
[Qi Gathering: 10th Layer (4500/10,000)]
[Soul: Infant (4900/100,000)]
[Spiritual Root: High-Grade Omni-Element (100/3000)]
[Transcendent Dao Body: Level 1 (36,080/1,000,000)]
[Chaos Body: Level 2 (200/20,000)]
[Bloodline: Dragon, Phoenix: Half Blood (500/3000)]
Xiang Yu’s jaw dropped in astonishment. That single pill had catalyzed remarkable changes across his most critical attributes. Yet, despite these extraordinary gains, a sour expression quickly replaced his initial shock.
If only his junior sister had simply handed him the physical pill instead of transferring it through that kiss! If he could have analyzed its composition, he might have unlocked the secret to creating spirit root enhancement pills. Such a breakthrough would have set him on the path to true invincibility. What an incalculable loss! Still, what was done was done. He could only lament this missed opportunity silently in his heart for all eternity.
The benefits themselves were still substantial, even without access to the pill’s formula. His body refining had increased by a full thousand points. His qi gathering had grown by another five hundred points, which, when combined with the four hundred gained after his spirit root advancement, brought his total to forty-five hundred. If he could accumulate just five hundred more points during the day, he would be poised to enter the Foundation Building stage after the next reset—saving an entire day of cultivation time.
His spiritual root had also gained a significant boost, accumulating one hundred points of experience. At this rate, he could potentially upgrade to the Superior level in just a week, finally attaining the status of a genuine cultivation genius.
Perhaps most surprising was the thousand-point increase to his soul statistic. This indicated the pill must have some connections to soul cultivation. Too bad it was gone now. Both his Transcendent Dao Body and Chaos Body had received one hundred experience points each, while his dragon and phoenix bloodlines had each gained three hundred points, bringing their total to five hundred.
