Chapter 980: Chapter 1004: A Disaster Nearly Unleashed
Chu Linfeng returned to the mine tunnel, and the Golden Demon Vulture and Xiaoying immediately came up to greet him. Xiaoying laughed and said, "Big brother, how did the mission submission go? Are they surprised that you managed to mine Immortal Stones?"
"Indeed, they were quite surprised, but this time we have three months to excavate, and I can quickly break through to the late-stage Celestial Immortal Realm. These are the tools you used for excavation that you can use for quite a while now." After saying this, Chu Linfeng took out all the tools from the storage ring given to him by the middle-aged man.
Looking at the many tools on the ground, Xiaoying and the Golden Demon Vulture both smiled and said, "Big brother, you should keep these tools for yourself. We don’t want to use them; using our claws is convenient and efficient. You should focus on practice, while Golden Fur and I will go and break through the realm."
The two then transformed into their original forms and started excavating again, while Chu Linfeng returned to the resting area to start absorbing the Immortal Spirit Qi from the upper-grade Immortal Stones. Chu Tong also began to absorb this Immortal Spirit Qi, but only the energy from the space around, as he needed to guard the cave from outsiders entering and dared not absorb the energy from the Immortal Stones.
Chu Linfeng slowly absorbed the energy from the upper-grade Immortal Stones. At this moment, he felt his Dantian seemed like a bottomless pit, having absorbed a great deal of Immortal Spirit Qi without reaching saturation, and had absorbed hundreds of upper-grade Immortal Stones—such consumption was indeed terrifying. He clearly felt that he needed much more Immortal Spirit Power than others to break through the realm.
Then he directly used Dual Heart Use, taking out top-grade Immortal Stones with both hands to absorb. In Shangguan Luoyang’s storage ring, there were still several hundred top-grade Immortal Stones, enough for him to absorb for a while. The Immortal Spirit Qi from these top-grade Immortal Stones entering the body was indeed much stronger than from upper-grade ones; he could clearly feel the Immortal Spirit Qi within rapidly increasing.
After absorbing almost enough Immortal Spirit Qi, he had to merge it with Chaotic Immortal Power and slowly circulate it within his body several times—repeating this absorption cycle. Chu Linfeng spent a whole month just to enhance his realm to the late-stage Celestial Immortal Realm, feeling that in order to break through to the Golden Immortal Realm, he might need to absorb all of the top-grade Immortal Stones completely to perhaps succeed.
At this time, he slowly stood up, showing a very complex expression on his face with traces of frustration and helplessness. "I haven’t even broken through to the Golden Immortal Realm yet, and it requires such a massive amount of Immortal Stones. To break through to the Immortal Emperor Realm, wouldn’t it require a mountain of Immortal Stones? How is this going to work?" Chu Linfeng muttered to himself.
Right now in his heart, he hoped deeply that Sword Spirit could appear at his side. At this moment, perhaps she could help or comfort him.
Just then, Chu Linfeng’s expression changed dramatically, and he immediately exclaimed, "Oh no, how could I forget Ruoxi’s instructions? Please let nothing have happened!"
Quickly channeling his Divine Sense into the storage ring to inspect, he discovered Lin Ruoxi had already restored her human form; however, she was now unconscious. This immediately caused Chu Linfeng to break out in a cold sweat, hastily taking her out of the storage ring and placing her on the ground.
"Ruoxi, wake up! Ruoxi, wake up!" Chu Linfeng shouted, appearing panicked and a bit at a loss.
But at this time, Lin Ruoxi showed no response, remaining in a state of unconsciousness. Chu Linfeng forcibly steadied his Heart Spirit and said, "At this time, it’s crucial to stay calm, stay calm! At least Ruoxi is still breathing, so there shouldn’t be any danger. I must think of a way to wake her."

He then set Lin Ruoxi upright, and quickly put both hands on her back, with Wood Element rapidly flowing into her body, his Divine Sense thoroughly examining her current condition, though he wanted to remain calm, he couldn’t maintain his calmness.
Chu Linfeng felt his Wood Element nearly depleted before he finally stopped. After breaking through to the late-stage Celestial Immortal Realm, his Wood Transformation strength also improved, with a substantial quantity of Wood Element consumption demonstrating the enormity of this effort.
However, effort brings rewards. Chu Linfeng noticed Lin Ruoxi’s previously pale face now showing a hint of redness. Fortunately, she had changed to her human form; if she still remained in Vermilion Bird form, he wouldn’t know how to proceed.
Subsequently, he quickly adjusted the Wood Element within his body before beginning to recover. Being worried about Lin Ruoxi, Chu Linfeng only restored half before he started input again into her body, repeating this cycle three times without seeing her awake. At this moment, Chu Linfeng felt a bit helpless; Wood Element was the only energy he had available to save her, but now it was ineffective, causing him great concern.
Chu Linfeng realized he might have been using the wrong method. Perhaps Wood Element couldn’t make her wake up. A thought flashed through his mind, leading him to a decision, "Could it be due to being in the Immortal Realm that Ruoxi’s realm isn’t enough to adapt to the Immortal Realm’s environment? Her body lacks Immortal Spirit Power?"
Chu Linfeng seemed to understand something, immediately changing the input from Wood Element to Immortal Spirit Power. Chu Linfeng’s was Chaotic Immortal Power, which also included Dragon Power; it could be said that this energy ranked among the top powers in the world.
After inputting Chaotic Immortal Power, he sensed through his Divine Sense that Lin Ruoxi’s aura gradually strengthened with his input—an auspicious sign. Thus, he accelerated the input speed, knowing Ruoxi’s Dantian bore limitations, not to input too much to avoid the danger of exploding.
As Chu Linfeng felt it was almost enough, readying to release his hands, Lin Ruoxi suddenly opened her eyes, "Lin Feng, I’m okay. You regain your strength slowly."
This voice to Chu Linfeng was undoubtedly celestial, rapidly causing him to embrace Lin Ruoxi tightly. His momentary carelessness almost put her in peril. If anything had happened to Lin Ruoxi, he wouldn’t forgive himself.
Lin Ruoxi gently pushed Chu Linfeng away, "Let me digest the Wood Element energy and Immortal Spirit Power you input first, okay? If it were before, I’d have been overwhelmed, fortunately having succeeded in Nirvana. Don’t worry about me; I’m fine."
Seeing Lin Ruoxi say this, Chu Linfeng felt reassured and began to restore the consumed Immortal Spirit Power. Chu Linfeng took half a day to recover, while Lin Ruoxi directly took a week to completely digest the energy within.
When she stood up from the ground, she wore a radiant smile, "Lin Feng, I’ve broken through; I’ve finally broken through! Now I’ve reached ordinary Immortal status; I can officially live together with you in the Immortal Realm."
"Broken through? How so quickly? How is that possible?" Chu Linfeng was visibly thunderstruck by Lin Ruoxi’s statement, looking at her full of astonishment...
