If I live forever, everyone thinks I am invincible

"Um... Elder Chen, didn't you leave? Why are you back?"

Everyone was taken aback when they saw Chen Chang'an return. Then they saw Chen Chang'an take out a dark, unremarkable object.

"what is this?"

Everyone looked at Chen Chang'an with puzzled expressions, their eyes filled with confusion.

"None of you...don't recognize this thing?" Chen Chang'an asked helplessly.

"I don't recognize him. Where did he come from?"

"Aren't there earth-eating beasts in the Dongming Underground Palace?"

"This thing exists inside the Earth Eater."

"I almost forgot about that."

"You really don't know?"

Earth-eating beast?

Everyone knows of the existence of the Earth-Eating Beast, but no one knows that there is such a thing inside the Earth-Eating Beast.

"I've never paid attention to this before. What's it for?"

"It does seem like there are energy fluctuations, but this energy is a bit unfamiliar."

"Could it be that the bodies of earth-eating beasts also contain resources that can be used for cultivation?"

"But... how do you use this thing? And what's its purpose?"

Everyone stared at the dark, stone-like object in Chen Chang'an's hand and began to analyze it seriously.

Chen Chang'an originally wanted to try his luck, just in case one of them knew the use of this thing, but he didn't expect that he had overestimated these people. They really didn't know anything about it.

"Is this edible?"

eat?

Who in their right mind would think about whether this dark, unremarkable stone is edible?

"No, you're going to eat this?"

"Isn't this something we should look into?"

"Can't you offer any constructive suggestions?"

"What constitutes a constructive suggestion? Come on, give me one."

"And listen carefully, this thing was born from the Earth-eating Beast. What are the characteristics of the Earth-eating Beast?"

"Hard to the touch, with extremely strong defensive capabilities."

"This thing is the essence of the Earth-eating Beast. Could it possess the characteristics of the Earth-eating Beast?"

Upon hearing this, everyone began to seriously consider it. It must be said that Yun Muchen's analysis was indeed quite reliable.

"So, absorbing the energy from this thing will make our physical bodies stronger?"

"But we are at the Dominator Realm, our physical bodies are already very strong, okay?"

"But won't the opponents we face in the future be at the Sovereign Realm?"

"We're both at the Sovereign Realm, with the same cultivation level, so what makes you think you have an advantage over others?"

"Can't you even understand such a simple principle?"

"Holy crap, Old Yun, have you been secretly working hard behind our backs?"

"How come your mind is so sharp now?"

"You've really impressed me. I've been looking down on dogs."

"Get out of here. If you can't speak properly, then shut up."

Yun Muchen glared at everyone, then looked at Chen Chang'an and said smugly, "How about that? Pretty impressive, right?"

"What are you so proud of?"

"Isn't this how it should be?"

"You've only reached the minimum level you should be at, what's there to brag about?"

Upon hearing Chen Chang'an's words, Yun Muchen's smugness vanished instantly.

Damn it, they really don't give me any face at all.

"Ahem, let's get down to business."

"Then do you think my analysis makes sense?"

“That makes sense, and I’ve thought about it too, but… it didn’t work.”

"I tried to see if I could absorb the energy from this thing."

"The result is that it cannot be absorbed."

Unable to absorb?

After Chen Chang'an finished speaking, everyone exchanged surprised glances. How could it be impossible to absorb?

"I'll try."

Yun Muchen refused to believe in superstitions. After taking a piece from Chen Chang'an, he wanted to try it out and see if he could absorb the energy inside.

However, no matter how hard he tried, he was unable to absorb the energy from it.

"Something's wrong."

"It's as if something is completely trapping the energy here. I can feel the energy fluctuations, but I can't absorb this energy into my body."

"Isn't this too strange?"

"Could it be that this thing isn't meant to be absorbed directly?"

"Then... how do I use this?"

Everyone looked at Chen Chang'an with a puzzled expression, and Chen Chang'an was also considering the same question.

This thing is definitely not completely useless; it's just that they haven't found the right way to use it yet.

"Any resource that appears in the Chaos Heaven may be related to the Sovereign Realm."

"So, how exactly do you use this thing?"

“Cultivation at the Dominator Realm is inseparable from the small world within the body.”

"The Sovereign controls all the heavens and myriad realms, and these heavens are hidden within the Sovereign's body."

"In other words, the stronger the ruler's physical body, the more stable the heavens will be."

"Could this thing be used for stabilization?"

"Or, we could absorb it into our bodies, or place it in some small worlds, and see if it would have any different effect?"

"Who...would like to try?"

Upon hearing Chen Chang'an's words, Yun Muchen stepped forward without hesitation.

"I come!"

"I refuse to believe that with so many of us, we can't handle this dark, unremarkable rock."

"Let me see what's going on."

Yun Muchen absorbed the object into his body, indicating his desire to integrate the stone into the myriad realms within him.

During this process, Yun Muchen discovered that the energy inside the stone seemed to be slowly being released, and although the release was very slow, it was indeed effective.

"Give me another one."

"I'll try it and see if it works in the small world."

Without hesitation, Chen Chang'an gave Yun Muchen another piece, which Yun Muchen then put into his own little world.

After entering the small world, Yun Muchen discovered that the energy of this thing was also being slowly released.

With the appearance of this energy, the small world within the body seemed to become more stable.

"it works!"

"It's really useful!"

"Holy crap, this thing is pretty good."

"It can actually make the small world more stable. The more stable the small world is, the lower the probability of problems will occur, and the less likely it is to be destroyed."

"Elder Chen, you...you are amazing."

"You'll be able to discover all of this."

"This Dongming Underground Palace is simply a treasure trove! Not only does it have advancement beads, but also this... what's this thing called?"

Yun Muchen was extremely excited because he had discovered new cultivation resources.

"Hmm, otherwise, let's call this thing Black Stone from now on, a pitch-black stone."

"How was it? Did you like it?"

Um... a pitch-black stone, so it's called Black Stone? Isn't that a rather hasty name?

"It sounds nice...it sounds good, as long as you're happy!"
