After an hour, the wounds on Ye Chen's body had all healed, and the new skin showed no trace of injuries. Internally, his shock-damaged organs had also returned to their optimal state.

Moreover, the illusory sword seed in his dantian had solidified considerably.

This was just after dividing the Holy Source Grass into ten parts and consuming only a small segment of its leaf, and over ninety percent of its energy was spent on nourishing the source of his physique.

Then.

Ye Chen opened his eyes, took another small segment of Holy Source Grass, and put it in his mouth.

At the side, Master Legs couldn't help but mutter: "This brat absorbs energy so quickly... his dormant source must be extremely terrifying, like a bottomless pit."

Only the senior of the Dragon Race on the tenth level of the Sword Tomb, Luo Qingyi, and Ye Chen himself knew about Ye Chen having the ancestral bloodline of an ancient race; Master Legs didn't have a clue.

Time ticked away.

A day later.

There were only two segments left of the Holy Source Grass placed beside Ye Chen.

His skin emitted a crystal-clear luster like flawless jade, exuding a vast life force.

With internal inspection, it could be found that his flesh and bones also contained this crystalline luster—a symbol of the sword body having partially formed.

Previously, his sword body was merely at the preliminary entry level.

Now, it had matured; his bodily defense, explosive power, recovery ability, and capacity to accommodate power had all significantly improved.

As for the sword seed in his dantian, it now resembled a divine weapon that had undergone countless trials, covered in intricate and mysterious patterns, emitting an extraordinary sharpness.

At this point, the sword seed could be used for external attacks, releasing immensely terrifying power once activated.

However, the edges of the sword seed still retained a sense of illusion.

Ye Chen put another segment of Holy Source Grass into his mouth.

He operated the Nine Heavens Sword Scripture Technique, actively channeling the energy of the Holy Source Grass into the sword seed, which vibrated slightly, while the last trace of illusion quickly disappeared.

"Buzz!"

A moment later.

The sword seed trembled fiercely, and a powerful sharpness spread out from Ye Chen's body in all directions.

Nearby, a few of Master Legs' leg hairs were inadvertently cut off by this invisible sharpness!

Master Legs exclaimed, deeply shocked.

Even if it's just his leg hairs, their toughness is terrifying, you know... Master Legs cherished his leg hairs very much and often nurtured them with energy.

"No wonder it's the Nine Heavens Sword Manual of Luo Jiutian, the sword seed just formed already has such sharpness!"

Master Legs sighed, and then thought of Ye Chen's unification of spirit and martial arts, mysterious constitution... his shock grew even stronger.

Luo Jiutian alone could traverse the world with the Nine Heavens Sword Manual back in the day.

So, what about Ye Chen?

He stands on the shoulders of a giant, with a foundation even more solid than that giant. What heights can his future achievements reach?

Master Legs found his imagination a bit lacking.

But soon he was delighted.

After all, Ye Chen could be considered his disciple now too!

If it's just the initial Heaven-Ascending Step, Master Legs wouldn't have the face to say anything... but now it's different, the Time Realm of the Heaven-Ascending Step is not inferior to the Nine Heavens Sword Manual!

At this moment.

Ye Chen also sensed an unprecedented feeling of strength!

If he were to confront Li Tianyi again, he'd kill him with one sword!

Soon, Ye Chen reined in his thoughts, focusing entirely on tracking the direction of the remaining Holy Source Grass energy within his body.

Previously, he couldn't pinpoint the exact location.

But now that the Holy Source Grass was almost depleted, Ye Chen felt a strong intuition that his dormant source physique was about to awaken, and he could vaguely discern the direction of the Origin World.

With the continuous flow of energy into the Origin World, it was like having a guiding light.

After a while, Ye Chen silently thought that the energy was insufficient, and then put the last segment of Holy Source Grass into his mouth.

The energy surging toward the Origin World became full and robust, flowing faster, while Ye Chen's consciousness followed the flow of energy to explore the exact location of the Origin World.

Although the Origin World was within his body, it was like finding a drop of water in the ocean, extraordinarily challenging.

During this exploration, Ye Chen also lost track of time, searching and searching... suddenly, he finally perceived the endpoint where all of the Holy Source Grass energy converged, and ahead, a ray of light appeared!

Ye Chen was thrilled!

He had finally found the Origin World!

The last time he tried using Celestial Demonic Qi, by chance he entered the Origin World, and now he finally found the Origin World by his own method.

Ye Chen's consciousness dashed in, and then in his Origin World, his consciousness took form resembling himself.

The Origin World was vast.

But it was obviously different from the last time he had entered.

Ye Chen remembered clearly that the last time he came in, the Origin World was in a state of great depression, but now it gave him a feeling of vigorous life.

And this feeling of vitality continued to strengthen with the remaining Holy Source Grass energy flowing in!

"It seems that the condition of the Origin World last time was a sign of the source being dormant. Now that my source is awakening, hence this vibrant scene!"

Ye Chen immediately made a judgment, and he looked up around him, noticing a layer of barrier within the Origin World, for which Ye Chen also had some guesses.

The last time, someone had invaded his Origin World, but luckily his never-seen mother also came and helped drive that intruder away, then arranged some means to prevent further invasion as she left.

Ye Chen stood within the Origin World, somewhat at a loss.

Was this situation now considered the true awakening of his source?

He wasn't sure how to assess it.

And at this moment, the energy of the Holy Source Grass also depleted.

After a moment of consideration, Ye Chen suddenly thought of the Primal True Solution!

Last time, his mother had instructed him to diligently cultivate the Primal True Solution upon leaving.

The Primal True Solution had infinite wonders; in the real world, it aided the cultivation of spirit-martial unity and could help restore stamina. As for other aspects, Ye Chen hadn't discovered much yet.

What if he cultivated the Primal True Solution within his Origin World?

Ye Chen thought he could give it a try; after all, the Primal True Solution should be a cultivation technique complementing his physique!

Next.

Ye Chen began practicing the nine movements of the Primal True Solution within the Origin World while simultaneously operating the Heart Method.

Once the first movement was slowly executed, Ye Chen made a huge discovery.

Cultivating the Primal True Solution in the Origin World felt vastly different from external cultivation.

Each of his movements seemed to contain some kind of profound truth; with every breath, he seemed to harmonize with the world, every gentle finger stroke felt like touching the heavens.

When Ye Chen completed practicing the nine movements of the Primal True Solution.

An unexpected change occurred!

His Origin World became brilliantly illuminated, and then a mysterious power arrived from an unknown direction, transcending time and space!

Within the Origin World, vegetation began to grow, mountains and rivers materialized, the sun and moon floated.

"How bold, daring to steal the ancestral source!"

Suddenly, a voice full of terrifying pressure sounded beside Ye Chen's ear, causing his Origin World to tremble incessantly!
