Spending another half an hour, Ling Chen once again calmed his excited emotions. Now that he finally understood the source of Spiritual Power, he could finally cultivate, so he should now carefully think about the issues with his body.
"Now it seems I can only cultivate at night!"
Ling Chen pondered.
During the daytime, he had tried to sense nature's spiritual energy, but to no avail. However, at night, the Spiritual Energy was just too clear, and moreover, it automatically poured into his body, transforming into Spiritual Power.
"I knew it! With my performance in the Peak of Physical Body Realm, how could I not have any talent for cultivation? It seems now that I must also possess a special physique, but this physique is too special, to only be able to cultivate at night?"
Ling Chen quickly sorted out his thoughts.
Although he was thinking, the cultivation of Spiritual Power did not stop; his cultivation was continuously rising. However, after reaching the second level of the Qi Condensation Realm, the Cultivation Speed slowed down.
"But, this is too odd, isn't it?"
Ling Chen stood up and started pacing back and forth in the room.
To his surprise, even so, his cultivation had not ceased for a moment, and wherever he went, the surrounding Spiritual Energy would follow.
Hmm, walking like the wind!
If he were to make an appearance at night, this special effect would indeed be quite cool!
"No, wait!"
The surprise in Ling Chen's heart gradually disappeared, his eyes narrowing slightly, he said: "Although this method of cultivation is good, can't I control it?"
If he were to go out at night in this state, wouldn't he be as conspicuous as a bright moon in the dark night?
This wasn't a good thing at all, for instance, if he wanted to do something secretive, wouldn't he be easily discovered?
"Stop!"
Ling Chen's thoughts commanded.
Being able to cultivate was certainly a good thing, but being uncontrollable was definitely not.
As his thoughts came to a conclusion, the surrounding nature's spiritual energy immediately stopped flowing towards him and flowed to other places where the Spiritual Energy was sparse.
His cultivation also came to an abrupt halt.
"Phew!"
Ling Chen let out a breath, it seems that his special physique was still under control!
"Continue."
Ling Chen silently commanded in his heart.
"Phew."
A light breeze arose in the room again, and the surrounding Spiritual Energy came once more; he began to cultivate again.
"Good, whether or not I can cultivate is within my control."
Ling Chen nodded.
Having essentially resolved the cultivation issue, Ling Chen completely relaxed. Today, he had thought nearly the whole day, and he was quite exhausted mentally.
Therefore, when he relaxed, Ling Chen quickly fell into a deep sleep.
At night, Ling Wu came to the room and saw that Ling Chen was asleep, so she did not disturb him. Young master, besides the scuffle with Ling Feng and the others, had been pondering over the issue of Spiritual Power all day; he must be tired.
She tucked Ling Chen in properly and then carefully left the room.
...
An uneventful night passed.
The next morning, as the first ray of dawn shone through the window and fell upon the bed, Ling Chen awoke.
"How comfortable!"
Ling Chen stretched.
It was arguably the most peaceful sleep he had had.
He didn't even dress and began to check the Spiritual Power within his body.
"Late stage of the second level of Qi Condensation Realm?"
Ling Chen saw that the black nebula in his Dantian had grown larger, his eyes widening in astonishment. He clearly remembered that before going to sleep, the Spiritual Power nebula in his Dantian wasn't this large.
"Could it be that I could also automatically cultivate while sleeping last night?"
Ling Chen's voice trembled a little.
Automatically cultivating while awake was one thing, but being able to cultivate while sleeping, wouldn't this special physique be too terrifying?
"Slap!"
Ling Chen gave himself a hard smack on the head and mocked: "Right, if I can cultivate even when unconscious, how could I not while sleeping?"
"However, advancing a whole realm in one night, this speed is indeed a little terrifying!"
Ling Chen couldn't help but be astonished.
Ling Feng took several days just to awake and cultivate the Spiritual Technique; his cultivation had only reached the early stage of the first level of the Qi Condensation Realm. He had awakened only two days ago, passed out for one day, slept for half a day, and his cultivation had actually reached the late stage of the second level of the Qi Condensation Realm. If Ling Feng knew about this, he would probably explode with anger.
"Night Moon Saint Body!"
Just at that moment, a strange term suddenly emerged in Ling Chen's mind.
"Sacred Body?"
"Could my special physique be the Night Moon Saint Body?"
Ling Chen's face revealed an ecstatic expression.
According to ancient records, above the Spiritual Body, there exists an even more powerful special constitution.
It seems to be the so-called Sacred Body!
Stronger than the Spiritual Body, the Sacred Body must be extremely terrifying! You can tell by the Cultivation Speed!
"Based on the literal meaning of Night Moon Saint Body, it seems that this constitution must be related to the night and the bright moon. I can only cultivate at night, and there's no doubt that my constitution is the Night Moon Saint Body!"
"As for the meaning of the word 'moon,' that's a bit harder to understand!"
Ling Chen thought to himself.
After breakfast, Ling Chen turned to Ling Wu with a smile and said, "Xiao Wu, I'm going out for a bit. I have to tell the Family Master that I can cultivate."
On the day of his awakening failure, he fainted straight away. The Family Master must be very angry, considering the amount of effort the family had exerted to nurture him, even offering him the highest-grade Body Tempering Spirit Liquid for refining his body.
As for Ling Wu, he had already informed her. Of course, he did not disclose some specific details.
Having a Sacred Body that transcended the Spiritual Body, Ling Chen knew that before he grew up, he absolutely couldn't let others know, even his closest ones, as it might also bring harm to them.
Upon hearing his words, Ling Wu was slightly startled. She still vividly remembered the heartless words of the Family Head following her young master's failed awakening.
"If he's just a good-for-nothing, what's the difference whether he's dead or alive?"
"There are no good-for-nothings in the Ling Family!"
But what did the young master do? After figuring out the mystery of his Spiritual Power, he immediately wanted to inform the Family Master!
Seeing that Ling Wu didn't respond, Ling Chen quickly asked, "What's wrong?"
"Young Master."
Ling Wu took a deep breath, then said, "There are some things I want to tell you."
She then recounted to Ling Chen everything about the Family Head's and the clan members' reactions at that time.
Upon hearing this, Ling Chen was silent for a long time. He hadn't expected that the Family Master he had always held in high regard was such a mercenary and realistic person? Just because he failed to awaken and lacked talent in cultivation, would he say such ruthless words?
"Young Master?"
Ling Wu called out softly.
Watching the changing expressions on the young master's face, she also felt uneasy. But this was no reason for her not to tell the young master.
Regardless of the young master's decision, she had to inform him.
"Okay, thanks."
Ling Chen came back to his senses and thanked Ling Wu. If it weren't for Ling Wu, he might not have been able to see the true colors of that person.
However, after all, that person was the head of the family, who had taken care of him in the past. He had to tell that person, and whether the latter believed it or not wasn't his concern.
He wouldn't just cut ties with the Family Head and the family because of this. He was born and raised here, just like his father. This was his home, even though this home seemed to hold less and less human warmth.
Ling Chen stood up and walked towards the door. Suddenly, his steps halted, he turned back, smiled, and said, "There should still be some Body Tempering Spirit Liquid left, right? Cultivate well, and strive to reach the Peak of Physical Body Realm sooner."
"Alright."
Ling Wu nodded firmly, watching Ling Chen leave.
Walking onto the wide avenue of the Ling Family, Ling Chen headed towards the Family Head Mansion. As soon as he appeared, the Ling Family Disciples on the road began to point and whisper about him.
"Damn, this waste still has the face to come out?"
"Yeah, if I were him, I would have already dashed my head to death!"
"Look at his face, not a bit ashamed? How does my Ling Family have such a shameless person?"
"Hey, recently, I've been too embarrassed to step out of our home. Damn, as soon as I go out, those bastards from the Lin Family and Su Family start mocking us! All because of this good-for-nothing!"
"Not just these two big families? The whole Guangling City is talking about it! Our Ling Family has become the laughingstock!"
...
Listening to the surrounding voices of discussion, Ling Chen felt increasingly heavy-hearted. It seems the people of the Ling Family really didn't have any good feelings towards him!
Although these people pointed and talked, none dared to act. These fellows were all young disciples in the Physical Body Realm, and they were somewhat afraid of Ling Chen, who was at the Peak of Physical Body Realm.
Soon, Ling Chen arrived at the Family Head Mansion.
"I want to see the Family Master."
Ling Chen directly stated his purpose to the two guards of the Family Head Mansion.
Earlier, as soon as he arrived, the guards would have gone to report. But now, the two guards looked at him with disdain.
"Waste, quickly get lost. Who do you think you are? The Family Master isn't someone you can see just because you want to,"
One of the guards said coldly.
The fact that there was a person who couldn't cultivate within the Ling Family had already spread throughout the entire Guangling City, making even them feel like they were losing face.
