Chapter 573: Awake

Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan had been in the space for ten days when they suddenly couldn’t hold on.

Fortunately, they had already prepared and when the sleep came, they simply let go and allowed their consciousness to fade.

This sleep was not enlightenment.

Instead, it was an ordinary sleep with no dreams or deep insights.

Five thousand real years passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Zhen Yuan opened his eyes and frowned.

A breath later, he sealed his senses and lowered his eyes to look at the himself.

At a glance, he was covered in black grime and even the bath water looked like black sludge.

"Disgusting." He muttered and jumped out of the pool.

At the same time, he waved his hand to remove a layer of grime from his body.

"I can’t believe we slept for one hundred and fifty thousand space years." A voice said and Zhen Yuan smiled while looking at Shen Xu.

"It’s really unexpected." He said and quickly continued.

"I thought we would sleep for one thousand years at most but we ended up sleeping for one hundred and fifty thousand years." He said.

"I want a bath." Shen Xu said and pulled Zhen Yuan to the bathroom.

Soon after, the two people looked at each other and couldn’t help but be surprised.

"Xiaoxu, you have become more beautiful." Zhen Yuan said and pulled the person into his arms.

"You have also changed. You are lore handsome." The double said.

With that, Zhen Yuan lowered his head and kissed Shen Xu.

Although they had been together for almost one hundred thousand real years and countless space years, the two weer still passionate about each other.

They jade kissed countless times but it still felt new and unforgettable.

Before long, pleasure-laced voices flowed out of the bathroom but no one was there to hear them

Five space years passed and the two finally let go of each other.

"How was your sleep?" Shen Xu asked and Zhen Yuan shook his head.

"I didn’t dream." The man said and finally remembered to check his body.

A breath later, he gasped and his widened in surprise.

"Xiaoxu, hurry up and examine yourself." He said and the double didn’t hesitate.

Soon after, the two exchanged a glance and smiled.

At some point during their sleep, their bodies had significantly transformed.

After climbing ten stairways, the two had gained many physical traits including improved self-healing, immunity, and toughness amongst others.

However, these changes were not perfectly meshed into the body.

After one hundred and fifty thousand years of sleep, the two people’s bodies had completely transformed and could they be considered human primordial beasts.

Additionally, their flesh and bones had gained the hardness of diamonds and thetoughness of jade, while their blood had turned completely golden.

"Our efforts were really worth it." Shen Xu said and Zhen Yuan nodded but soon frowned.

"The good news is that our bodies have transformed and your qi cultivation has stabilised. Unfortunately, our body cultivation has regressed." The man said and Shen Xu gasped before checking his body.

A moment later, he sighed with a helpless expression.

"From the early-stage of level fourteen to the early stage of level ten. What a regression." He said and Zhen Yuan nodded.

"Our body cultivation was probably consumed to support the transformation. It’s not a loss." He said.

"We have plenty of divine beasts blood wine, and the boiling blood pool. It won’t take long to regain our cultivation." Shen Xu said.

"Your physique has completely awakened." Zhen Yuan observed and the double nodded.

In fact, he sensed the change as soon as he woke up.

At the time, he sensed that his physique was unstable and he felt like he would burst into flames at any time.

Fortunately, he double cultivated with Zhen Yuan and his physique stabilised.

However, Shen Xu knew that from now on, his physique would occasionally break out and when that happened, he would either be burned alive or find a way to stabilise himself.

However, the awakening of his physique was not all bad.

First, his talent had improved and second, every breakout would push his cultivation forward.

After advancing, Shen Xu’s cultivation rose to the early-stage of the great immortal realm, but after his physique broke out, his cultivation rose to the late-stage.

"Ayuan, I will rely on you from now on." Shen Xu said and Zhen Yuan chuckled.

"Don’t worry. I will do my best to stabilise you when your physique break out." The man said and Shen Xu rolled his eyes.

"Pervert." He said.

"Xiaoxu, do you remember the immortality peach that we ate in the Tianqi continent?" Zhen Yuan suddenly asked and Shen Xu nodded.

"I remember. What about it?" He asked.

"The peach was too rich and we have slowly been absorbing its energy over the years. I have just checked and the energy has fully been absorbed into my body." He said and Shen Xu narrowed his eyes before checking.

A moment later, he raised his head and smiled.

"We have made a lot of profit this time around." He said and Zhen Yuan nodded.

"Our body cultivation may be level ten, but even an immortal master realm cultivator may not be able to leave a mark on our skin." The man said.

"You are even more invulnerable with your void body technique." Shen Xu said and soon changed the subject.

"Shall we prepare to leave?" He asked and Zhen Yuan nodded.

"How many immortal stones do we have?" He asked and Shen Xu sighed with a helpless expression.

They originally had more than one hundred billion immortal stones.

Before falling asleep, Shen Xu placed thirty billion in his tub, Zhen Yuan kept twenty billiom, and the rest was left to Xiaoren to occasionally feed the space.

One hundred and fifty thousand years later, all their immortal stones and even the spirit stones from the cultivation world were gone.

"We only have the one million that I kept for emergencies." Shen Xu said and Zhen Yuan nodded.

"That’s enough to get us to the next town. We can figure things out when we get there." He said.
