Meng Lin opened her eyes to a strange feeling all over her body, from the soles of her feet to the scalp of her hair, an intangible force covered her skin before forcing out hundreds of tiny particles from her pores.
After their release, Meng Lin felt a surge of power coursing through her veins.
Thump
Thump
She could hear her heartbeat accelerate as if every cell in her body was awakening, resonating with newfound energy.
After a few seconds, the feeling went away and she felt that she was finally able to move her body.
Sitting up with slight difficulty she examined her body to notice a few things that she had missed.
Firstly she noticed that her robe, the Low-grade item was damaged beyond repair, her skin was paler than before and she noticed that all the strands of energy were absorbed within her body. Most importantly her skin was clear of any marks.
she released her spiritual energy outside her body and wasn’t met with any resistance as it flowed out seamlessly.
Hiss
Purple, the serpent feeling her aura moved its head around her and flickered its tongue, a gesture that Meng Lin was all too familiar with.
She smiled while opening her inventory, taking out a few dozen beast forage, she fed Purple while thinking about the events that happened a moment ago.
‘That feeling, the cultivation method for the Brute Vortex physique’ Meng Lin replayed in her head the scene that just transpired and couldn’t help blurting out. “ system”

“So I was right”, Meng Lin said in a hoarse voice as she noticed the new addition to her cultivation methods.
It was the only explanation as to how she was able to move once again, however, that only made her feel dreadful.
To be able to make someone else learn something without making them experience the process is something she couldn’t understand.
Li Ya, that old woman was able to make her instantly know about a technique without her notice, Meng Lin couldn’t help but wonder about the realm she had reached to be able to do that.
‘Ensoulment Realm’ Meng Lin repeated, thinking back to the conversation she had had with Li Ya, the old woman had mentioned having reached that realm before so she couldn’t help but wonder about the realm she was in now.
“I should have asked her” Meng Lin mused as she thought further into the conversation.
This Qiankun world that she is on is a part of a realm called the blood realm, and there are 4 other planets in this realm, she naturally assumed that the world she came from, the blood world, as Li Ya called it was one of them.
She sighed as her mind went to her mother, she was finally able to remember what happened between her and Yu Yun, the girl in pink. Meng Lin had already linked the girl to her mother before but she wasn’t sure of it until now.
Now that she understood the situation that her mother was in she couldn’t help but feel depressed, because if what she thinks is right then her mother should have been taken away by one of those families within the Void Star Alliance.
The girl in pink didn’t reveal much but she had hinted about a powerful force beyond the realm of the Blood Realm, Meng Lin hoped it would be some lesser force that was not under the jurisdiction of the Void Star Alliance.
Whoosh!
A gush of wind was blown through the air as Meng Lin raised her palm, and a paper talisman was thrown in the air before floating above her hand.
‘Is this something from that old man Liu’ she wondered as she injected some spiritual qi into it.
The talisman glowed for a moment before dimming down, with no further response from it afterward.
Meng Lin was slightly confused at the talisman not working but she didn’t think much about it, it mattered little to her anyway.
Rather she was marveling at her control over the spiritual qi within the air to do simple things.
Woosh!!
She watched as her energy surged forward, dissipating into the air with a faint glow. She could feel the power coursing through her veins, much more potent than before. It was as if she had been reborn, her body stronger and more resilient.
With a smile Meng Lin turned her focus on her belongings within the storage ring on her fingers, swiping across one, she took out a white robe with a few black stripes running along the edges.
This robe was the High-Grade item Shifting Essence Robe, she created it after upgrading her blacksmith panel within the week after her breakthrough, it was made with the branch of the Rainbow Tree as the main ingredient, with durable and self-repairing materials within the system store as the other ingredients.
The reason she chose to make this was because of its ability to repair itself as long as it’s not completely destroyed, which added to its ability to change itself into 23 different kinds of robe.
Meng Lin carefully took off the low-grade flying robe and put on the high-grade Shifting Essence Robe and felt the smooth fabric against her skin.
As she sat there she looked through her storage rings before noticing that one of her items was missing, the fortune ring.
It was the only unique-grade item and it had no description, after receiving it she had always kept it stored within her storage ring so it couldn’t have been lost.
‘Was it the reason I didn’t die within the Primeval sea’ she wondered as she knew it was not just luck that she was able to survive that day.
Sigh!
Meng Lin sighed at the thought as she shook her head, trying not to think further into the matter.
“Now accept system rewards,” Meng Lin said as a brilliant light came into view with 6 items emerging from within.
Floating above her were a wooden scroll, a token, a silver talisman, two maps, and a black crystal.
Meng Lin tentatively reached out to the black crystal, the Physique Awakening Metal. It was a small black piece of metal that looked like a crystal with intricate designs etched into its surface.
Looking at its description she was both shocked and disappointed.
[Physique Awakening Metal]
A unique metal that has the extraordinary ability to transform individuals with ordinary physiques into individuals with a special and remarkable physique.
It was an item that doesn’t have any use for her, as it would only work on individuals with no physique.
However, thinking about its extraordinary properties she smiled as she stored it anywhere. it might come in handy later on, she reached out to the wooden scroll, the Physique Ranking Scroll.
It was made of a strange material that felt both firm and flexible. She unrolled it and saw hundreds of symbols of intricate sizes, "an array scroll," she mused, carefully putting a strand of qi within the wooden scroll.
“This is” Meng Lin couldn’t help but exclaim as she saw rows upon rows of writing that was far more detailed than anything she had ever seen.
100. Earth Qi physique.
99. Iron Body physique.
98. Thunder Qi physique.
97. Divine Wind physique.
96. Infinite Darkness Physique.
95. Fiery Qi physique.
94. Thunder physique.
93. Holy Qi physique.
…
Meng Lin's eyes widened as she read through the list. She wondered if these were the top 100 physiques ranked in the entire 8 Realms.
She couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement as she read each physique one by one.
Below each physique was a section that described them perfectly clearly, some descriptions were too long to read within a short period, and that only made her more interested.
As Meng Lin became lost in the detailed description of a certain physique she was suddenly interrupted by a sound and her mind instantly went full alert.
Rumble!
The entire cave shook violently before crumbling into the ground, burying Meng Lin and Purple underneath the rubble that caved in.
