Following the most basic operating rules of the Honghuang World, he cautiously guided this spiritual energy, allowing it to slowly flow and condense within his spiritual body.
Although he lacked advanced cultivation methods and the process was slightly difficult, each integration of spiritual energy allowed him to truly feel himself growing constantly. That feeling of gradually strengthening power filled him with anticipation for the future.
Time flowed leisurely, like a murmuring stream, silently passing by.
Lin Chen was immersed in the wondrous world of cultivation, forgetting all the distractions of the outside world.
After countless days and nights, he suddenly noticed earth-shattering changes occurring within himself.
His aura became increasingly condensed and powerful, having solidified and grown to an unimaginable extent.
In this process, Lin Chen discovered that due to his special status as Innate Treasure Qi, he had a completely different cultivation path from ordinary Cultivators with physical bodies.
His initial cultivation Realm was not the usual Refine Essence into Qi, Refine Qi into Spirit, Refine Spirit and Return to Void, and Refine Void and Merge with Dao, but started directly from Earth Immortal.
This meant that although his cultivation threshold was high, once he embarked on the journey, his future potential would be limitless.
After a period of arduous cultivation, Lin Chen's spiritual sense suddenly became active.
The aura around him surged uncontrollably, and then actually showed signs of becoming more solid!
With a boom!
His aura completely stabilized!
"I've finally reached the Earth Immortal Realm!"
Lin Chen's heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment, and he couldn't help but murmur to himself.
Although he also clearly knew that in this vast and boundless Primordial World, filled with experts, Earth Immortal cultivation might just be an insignificant existence.
But for him, this was a huge Breakthrough achieved after countless days and nights of arduous cultivation, a solid foundation for moving towards higher Realms.
If he possessed a Physical Body at this moment, he would possess extraordinary abilities, gallop freely between heaven and earth, roam above the Nine Heavens, achieve immortality, and even moving mountains and filling seas would be nothing more than a flick of the wrist.
Lin Chen couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, eager to verify if his efforts had caused a change in the System.
He took a deep breath, calmed his excited mood, and then silently willed in his mind to bring up the System interface.
When he saw that the probability of extracting the Duo Bao Pagoda's Innate Treasure Qi had increased to ten percent, his eyes instantly lit up, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curved upwards, revealing a joyful smile.
"Although the probability isn't high yet, compared to before, it's already a huge improvement."
He murmured softly to himself, his eyes full of the light of hope.
After some research, Lin Chen further understood the System's rules: extraction was not just a single opportunity. If it failed, he only needed to wait for his spiritual body to recover before trying again, until the extraction was successful. After that, the target could no longer be extracted.
"In other words, as long as the probability isn't zero, success is certain, it's just a matter of time."
After understanding this, he couldn't help but marvel at the System's power and dominance. Fortunately, extracting Innate Treasure Qi caused no harm to the target, which relieved him of any worries.
Thus, without hesitation, he immediately decided to attempt to extract Duobao's Innate Treasure Qi.
"Ding! Extraction failed!"
The System's cold notification sound instantly shattered his fantasy.
Lin Chen was slightly startled, the smile on his face instantly disappeared, but he quickly regained his composure.
He sighed softly, "This was also expected. After all, the probability is there. Failing once is nothing; just keep working hard."
He adjusted his mindset and once again devoted himself wholeheartedly to cultivation, preparing for the next extraction.
In the long tens of thousands of years that followed, Lin Chen repeated the process of extraction and cultivation day after day.
During this period, he attempted extraction more than ten times!
Each time the extraction failed, he was not discouraged in the slightest, but instead regarded it as an opportunity to temper himself.
His persistence and effort gradually paid off, and his Realm steadily improved through these repeated attempts and cultivation.
Finally, he successfully broke through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm.
And as his Realm improved, the probability of extracting the Duo Bao Pagoda's Innate Treasure Qi in the System also increased from ten percent to twenty percent.
On this day, Lin Chen, as usual, made ample preparations and once again attempted to extract the Duo Bao Pagoda's Innate Treasure Qi.
He took a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes, and silently prayed in his heart.
A crisp "ding" sound echoed in his mind. Lin Chen originally thought it would be another failed result. However, when the System's joyful notification sound, "Congratulations to the host for successfully extracting the Duo Bao Pagoda's Innate Treasure Qi, congratulations to the host for successfully replicating the Duo Bao Pagoda! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Innate Duobao Spiritual Light!" reached his ears, he was completely stunned, momentarily unable to believe his own ears.
After a long while, he slowly opened his eyes. "I succeeded!"
And when he came back to his senses, he found that many wonderful changes had already occurred within his body, and Innate Treasure Qi had condensed into form!
He no longer appeared in the form of long strips like ordinary Innate Spiritual Energy, but instead continuously twisted, intertwined, and overlapped, successfully condensing into the shape of a pagoda.
Although compared to the main body of the Duo Bao Pagoda, Lin Chen still looked quite immature and his radiance was not apparent, this manifestation also meant that Lin Chen possessed an Origin close to Duobao's.
And this also seemed to correspond to the statement that after Lin Chen extracted the Innate Treasure Qi and replicated the Duo Bao Pagoda, the power he could achieve was only ten percent.
However, merely increasing his foundation by the equivalent of ten percent of Duobao's was already quite impressive for Lin Chen.
Most importantly, within the small pagoda he had transformed into, there was a streak of Innate Duobao Spiritual Light!
This streak of Innate Duobao Spiritual Light was the most precious and important. At this moment, Lin Chen only felt as if he inexplicably possessed a wonderful power; he seemed to be able to perceive the aura of many Magic Treasures throughout the four directions of heaven and earth!
It was as if he possessed the ability to seek treasures!
"Is this why Duobao was mistaken for a Treasure-Seeking Mouse by later generations? That Treasure-Seeking Mouse also possesses the power to seek treasures!"
"It's just that compared to Duobao's ability, it's far, far inferior!"
Since Lin Chen replicated the Duo Bao Pagoda, he naturally also possessed Duobao's abilities and capabilities. Although not as good, it already made him extremely pleased.
What's more, in the future, he wouldn't just extract the Innate Treasure Qi of the Duo Bao Pagoda. He would also replicate more Magic Treasures. Only then could he forge his own great path!
At this moment, Duobao also seemed to have sensed the difference in Lin Chen!
In fact, after cultivating for many years, he had completely forgotten himself!
Duobao had actually forgotten this predestined encounter from ten thousand years ago, forgotten that he had a 'younger brother'!
And now, seeing that Lin Chen had actually condensed into a pagoda shape, he was immediately overjoyed.
"As expected, my virtuous brother is indeed of the same Origin as me!"
