Chapter 130: Chapter 130: Cultivating an Immortal-rank Body Refinement Method!
At this time, there were still four years before the Demon Sects’ great disaster, and Lu Changsheng was wholeheartedly cultivating at Qingyun Peak, having focused on elixir pills for a year.
The cultivation of the Heaven Rank Body Refinement Method “Nine Revolutions Divine Demon” required a large amount of seventh-rank and eighth-rank elixir pills.
Lu Changsheng was cultivating the Nine Dragons Refinement Technique while accumulating elixir pills.
Bestowing rewards to Lin Qingzhi of Dao Palace realm, there was a high probability of returning seventh-rank elixir pills and a small chance of eighth-rank elixir pills.
Lu Changsheng had accumulated several hundred elixir pills above the seventh rank.
The young disciple Shen Xiaoyao had completed his trials without any hazards and returned to Mount Shu.
Lu Changsheng noticed that Shen Xiaoyao’s character information had an additional swordsmanship, “Ten Thousand Swords Art,” which was a Heaven Rank superior swordsmanship technique.
According to Shen Xiaoyao, it was a swordsmanship taught to him by a Nameless Swordsman.
Lu Changsheng never doubted this disciple’s Fortune Destiny.
After all, this was the Son of Fortune.
After Shen Xiaoyao came back, Lu Changsheng initiated him in power-infusing once before letting him continue to cultivate with his Second Martial Sister.
Lu Changsheng was planning to enter seclusion to cultivate the final layer of the Nine Dragons Refinement Technique.
Lu Changsheng tried to enhance his techniques before the Demon Sects’ disaster arrived.
“Nine Dragons Refinement Technique” is a mid-grade Heaven Rank Body Refinement Method that, compared to superior Heaven Rank techniques like the “Supreme Purity Limitless Technique,” “True Martial Nine Forms,” and “Tiangang Swordsmanship,” had an easier path to Great Accomplishment given Lu Changsheng’s abundance of elixir pills.
Once the Nine Dragons Refinement Technique reached Great Perfection, Lu Changsheng would have the “Nine Revolutions Divine Demon Body Refining Skills” to cultivate.
In a medicinal pool made from fifth-rank, sixth-rank, and seventh-rank elixir pills, Lu Changsheng was attacking the final layer of the “Nine Dragons Refinement Technique.”
After repeated Body Tempering, Lu Changsheng’s constitution was comparable to that of martial cultivators of the same realm.
Martial cultivator powerhouses from the Martial Alliance would spend a millennium tempering their bodies to achieve this effect.
Lu Changsheng directly used a large number of advanced elixir pills for Body Refinement for over a decade, forcibly matching the millennium worth of Body Tempering effects achieved by others.
The medicinal pool began to shake, and the immense medicinal force was absorbed by the Innate Taoist Body, tempering every muscle and bone.
Lu Changsheng’s constitution was comparable to a superior-grade Innate Spirit Treasure, such that even if it were to bear the attacks from Innate Spirit Treasures, it wouldn’t easily get injured.
Only an attack by an Immortal Artifact posed a life-threatening danger to Lu Changsheng.
If someone of slightly lower cultivation were to wield an Immortal Artifact, they might not necessarily be able to suppress the contemporary Lu Changsheng with one strike.
As Lu Changsheng attacked the final layer of the “Nine Dragons Refinement Technique,” Qingyun Peak shook, grabbing the attention of the menial workers living at the foot of the mountain, all of whom looked towards the summit of Qingyun Peak.
Lin Qingzhi, Lu Qinglian, and Shen Xiaoyao, who lived halfway up the mountain, were also disturbed.
As the Nine Dragons Refinement Technique reached Great Perfection, celestial phenomena appeared above Qingyun Peak, with the shadows of nine flood dragons emerging and billowing.
“Master has greatly accomplished his Body Refinement Method.”
Lu Qinglian, who was also practicing Body Refinement, knew that this was a celestial phenomenon induced by a Heaven Rank Body Refinement Method reaching Great Accomplishment.
As long as her cultivation advanced to the Dao Palace realm, Lu Changsheng would impart to her the Heaven Rank Body Refinement Method.
Lu Qinglian’s Martial King Divine Physique was even more suited for Body Refinement, but her cultivation level was not yet sufficient to cultivate a Heaven Rank Body Refinement Method.
“Why do celestial phenomena keep appearing over Qingyun Peak?”
Zhao Wuyan from Zhiyue Peak felt another celestial phenomenon occurring on neighboring Qingyun Peak and couldn’t help but feel speechless.
Lu Changsheng’s cultivation of Heaven Rank techniques would induce celestial phenomena at moments of breakthrough or when achieving Great Accomplishment in a technique, and the same types of events would occur when Lin Qingzhi cultivated the “Supreme Purity Limitless Technique” and Lu Qinglian cultivated the “Fire Lotus True Scripture” during their breakthroughs.
When the “Supreme Purity Limitless Technique” was cultivated to the ninth layer, “Purple Aura Coming from the East” would span three thousand miles.
The “Fire Lotus True Scripture” would bring forth the Fire Lotus phenomenon, with countless Red Lotuses blossoming.
Various heavenly and earthly phenomena often appeared above Qingyun Peak, which left Zhao Wuyan brimming with envy.
“The Nine Dragons Refinement Technique has finally reached great accomplishment.”
Lu Changsheng absorbed all the medicinal power from the medicine pool, which completely dried up.
Lu Changsheng felt his body filled with strength, and even without using True Qi, just by relying on the strength of his physique, he could fight against a Flood Dragon that had cultivated for three thousand years.
“No wonder the people of the Martial Alliance are so enthusiastic about Body Refinement, the strength of the body is equivalent to an Innate Spirit Treasure, giving them a tremendous advantage in battle.”
Lu Changsheng knew what it meant for the strength of his physique to be comparable to an Innate Spirit Treasure.
With the Mysterious Yellow Tower, the Within Reach, Ends of the Earth Talisman, and a physique comparable to a superior-grade Innate Spirit Treasure, Lu Changsheng had three great life-saving methods, making it hard for him to even think about dying.
“Having reached great accomplishment in the Nine Dragons Refinement Technique, the strength of the body is comparable to a superior-grade Innate Spirit Treasure, and after cultivating the Heavenly Rank Body Refinement Method ‘Nine Revolutions Divine Demon’ to the ninth revolution, the physique would be amplified tenfold, wouldn’t the strength of the body then be comparable to that of an Immortal Artifact?”
Lu Changsheng took out the Heavenly Rank Body Refinement Method.
After achieving great accomplishment in the Nine Dragons Refinement Technique, he had amassed a large batch of Elixir Pills above the seventh grade, and he was ready to start cultivating the ‘Nine Revolutions Divine Demon Body Refining Skills’.
Lu Changsheng summoned the Yin Yang Dragons Cauldron, refining one eighth-grade Elixir Pill and five seventh-grade Elixir Pills at a time to prepare a Body Refinement medicine pool.
Six premium Elixir Pills were refined by the Yin Yang Dragons Cauldron into a pure medicinal force, like a spring pool of water.
The high-grade Elixir Pills needed for cultivating the ‘Nine Revolutions Divine Demon Body Refining Skills’ were so numerous that even with the rewards from taking in disciples, Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but feel the pinch.
This was merely for the first revolution, and the ‘Nine Revolutions Divine Demon Body Refining Skills’ has nine revolutions.
To temper his physique to be comparable to an Immortal Artifact would require the consumption of a vast amount of high-grade Elixir Pills.
Lu Changsheng, thinking of the future possibility for his physique to reach the level of an Immortal Artifact and investing a large number of premium Elixir Pills for Body Tempering, thought it was worth it.
“One thought becomes divine, one thought becomes demonic, nine revolutions of gods and demons, self-sovereignty above all…”
Lu Changsheng recited the Mnemonic Verse of the ‘Nine Revolutions Divine Demon Body Refining Skills’ silently, using the medicinal spring in the Yin Yang Dragons Cauldron for Body Tempering.
Lu Changsheng’s physique, already comparable to superior-grade Innate Spirit Treasure, continued to be tempered, seeking to possess a powerful physique comparable to that of an Immortal Artifact.
The heavenly and earthly phenomenon above Qingyun Peak changed from the shadows of nine Flood Dragons to the shadows of gods and demons.
“Master’s aura has changed again.”
“Truly, Master is a divine being.”
“I wonder when we will be able to catch up with Master’s pace.”
The three disciples of Lu Changsheng, seeing the illusory shapes of gods and demons appearing above Qingyun Peak, were immensely shocked.
The Heavenly Rank Body Refinement Technique had already transcended the realm of Heaven Rank Cultivation Techniques, and even the heavenly and earthly phenomena became more terrifying.
“What? The heavenly and earthly phenomena over Qingyun Peak has changed? What Cultivation Technique is Lu exactly practicing? Why is it so frightening?”
Zhao Wuyan was thoroughly alarmed, emerging from seclusion to witness the heavenly and earthly phenomena above Qingyun Peak, where one after another, illusory images of gods and demons emerged, stirring emotions deeply.
“Lu’s cultivation is advancing by leaps and bounds, and I am already completely unable to keep up. I, Zhao Wuyan, am reasonably a genius as well, with hopes of becoming a Supreme Elder in time, but in comparison with Lu, I’m simply overshadowed.”
Zhao Wuyan had cultivated for just over three hundred years and was in the sixth layer of the Dao Palace Realm. Before the thousand-year limit of the Dao Palace Realm approached, Zhao Wuyan had a good chance of entering the Void Refinement Realm, becoming one of Mount Shu’s Supreme Elders.
However, the rapid advance in Lu Changsheng’s cultivation made Zhao Wuyan almost question his life.
In fact, Zhao Wuyan’s rate of cultivation was what should be expected for a normal cultivator…
Lu Changsheng had secluded himself for one month and mastered the first layer of the ‘Nine Revolutions Divine Demon Body Refining Skills’.
“I can’t continue cultivating for now, otherwise my body can’t withstand continuous Body Tempering.”
“Next, I will practice Swordsmanship.”
After reaching Great Perfection in the Nine Dragons Refinement Technique, Lu Changsheng began to cultivate the Swordsmanship ‘True Martial Nine Forms’.
