Infinite Awakening: My Exp Doubles Everyday novel Chapter 197

Chapter 197: Night Visit [PART 1]

Turning his attention to his other attributes, Xiang Yu noticed that many of them had increased dramatically in just a single day. Most of this explosive growth could be attributed to the rebirth pill he had received from his junior sister.

Looking at his body refining cultivation, the progression was almost absurd. The rebirth pill had provided him a thousand points, then the bloodline stimulation had contributed another two thousand. After the system’s doubling effect, he now sat at six thousand points total. He only needed to earn one thousand more points before the next reset to break through to the fifteenth layer. It had only been a day since his last breakthrough, yet he would already advance again at the next reset. He was practically speedrunning through the body refining stages at this point.

As for his qi cultivation, he had some thoughts on it. Previously, he had always considered body refining to be the most crucial aspect of his development, since it consistently provided tangible benefits with each breakthrough. While he still believed this to be true, he could no longer afford to look down on qi cultivation, especially given the system’s remarkable ability to pursue absolute limits in everything.

These thoughts had formed mostly because of what had transpired earlier when the soul clone attacked him. The encounter had shown him that raw physical power still had its limits and there were some things he couldn’t bruteforce by just being physically stronger. Even if he continued pushing his body cultivation higher and higher, would he ever be able to defeat a soul with just physical strength?

This problem had been somewhat addressed when he received the soul attack technique from his junior sister, but there were still fundamental limitations that couldn’t simply be solved by possessing the right technique. After thoroughly studying the Soul Spike manual, he could see that the technique demanded quite a substantial amount of soul energy to execute properly. If he possessed true qi instead of his current refined spiritual energy, the soul energy requirements would decrease considerably.

This led him to wonder: if he managed to reach the Core Formation realm, would the qi quality in his body finally achieve true qi levels? It didn’t necessarily have to reach true qi status directly. Since the quality was already comparable to that of a Golden Core cultivator, it just needed to advance to Nascent Soul cultivator levels. Then he could use his soul infant to slowly refine his spiritual energy into true qi—that was the standard process, after all. Nascent Soul cultivators typically used their souls to transform their refined qi into the superior true qi in order to breakthrough into the Soul Formation realm.

After the massive increase in soul experience points, his connection to the soul infant had deepened considerably. The infant had already attempted this refinement process but had failed completely. He wasn’t sure if the failure occurred because it was still just an infant rather than a fully developed nascent soul, or because his qi simply hadn’t reached the necessary quality threshold yet.

This is all getting too confusing. Let’s move on.

Still, he made a mental note to pay much more attention to his qi cultivation going forward.

Speaking of the soul infant, he had always wondered why it seemed so fundamentally different from himself, but after the recent experience point increase, he finally began to understand what was happening. At the Nascent Soul stage, a cultivator’s soul and consciousness(mind) were typically in perfect synchronization. This meant that when someone entered their spiritual sea, they would appear exactly as their soul manifested.

However, since his infant wasn’t fully developed yet, it couldn’t achieve complete synchronization with his consciousness, causing him to materialize in his spiritual sea as his consciousness and the infant as a standalone entity.

The memories it possessed from him were just the very basics. Although it could receive new information in real time, what it could actually store and retain was quite limited. But as it continued to grow and mature, it would be able to store more and more until they would finally achieve perfect synchronization.

He smiled. Since it was essentially just another version of himself, it didn’t really matter if he overworked it a little bit, right? He suddenly caught sight of his own menacing smile reflected in the surface of the spirit water and quickly composed himself, returning his expression to its normal state.

Regarding his secondary professions, the recent battle had disrupted his usual systematic practice routine, but they had still managed to improve in their own ways. Since he had relied most heavily on alchemy during the conflict, it had overtaken the rest and become the highest-ranked profession below cooking and appraisal. _{free we\bnove(l).com}
