Chapter 407: 139 Breakthrough and Phenomenon of the Heavenly Phoenix (10K Asking for Monthly Tickets)_3
A moment later, everything was restored to its original state.
While using the Five Elements mana to restore his body, Su Yu cleansed the demon blood on his body. With a single thought, all the demon blood and dust fell from his clothes, leaving him spotless.
When he walked up to Yu Ke’er, Ma Tianling, and the others, his cracked skin had completely recovered under the powerful healing abilities of the Green Wood Year Ring Skill, leaving no scars. His skin was as white as snow, softer than Ma Tianling and the others.
Su Yu smiled, “It’s done. Let’s go back.”
The crowd began to make their way back.
Ma Tianling approached Su Yu, looking up to him with admiration, reverence, and the eyes of a fan. She asked, “Master, was that the power of the Body Refinement Realm you just displayed?”
“What Body Refinement Realm do you practice?”
Su Yu glanced at her, immediately understanding her intentions. He said, “Why, do you want to practice Body Refinement too?”
Ma Tianling’s eyes sparkled as she eagerly said, “Can I?”
Su Yu laughed, shaking his head, “I don’t have a Body Refinement technique that’s suitable for your cultivation. Besides, the Body Refinement Realm is not easy to practice. If you truly practice it, your body and appearance might be distorted.”
Ma Tianling’s eyes widened in surprise and fear, “Ah? Is it really like that?”
Su Yu pondered for a moment, “Not necessarily. But the Body Refinement technique I use is more difficult and not suitable for you. Let’s wait and see. If I find a Body Refinement technique suitable for you in the future, I will teach you.”
Upon hearing this, Ma Tianling was overjoyed. She wrapped her arm around Su Yu’s, saying, “Thank you, Master. You’re the best.”
Once back at Qingyue Peak, life resumed its peaceful routine for the group.
After Su Yu obtained the tier-three earth attribute demon core, he began his schedule of forging the Xingzhou puppet. One after another, tier-three spirit ores under his forging turned into various components, and eventually combined into a humanoid puppet.
Several months later, in the cave at the base of Qingyue Peak.
Su Yu’s physical aura subtly changed, and a dense burst of blood energy spread across the cave in an instant.
As the blood-colored patterns of the 108 Body Refinement techniques of the Crocodile Demon covered Su Yu’s body, endless blood energy seemed to turn into a giant ancient Crocodile Demon, roaring towards the heavens.
The terrifying aura made the entire cave tremble.
Countless nature’s spiritual energy rushed toward him, flooding into Su Yu’s body. At this moment, Su Yu’s body underwent a transformation.
After a while.
The commotion in the cave settled down.
When Su Yu opened his eyes, a flash of blood-red light disappeared from them, and the blood-colored patterns on his body slowly receded. His body restored to normal. He savored the changes in the power of his physical body before exhaling a hot breath, “Phew.”
This breath carried a tint of red and was exceptionally hot.
If an ordinary Qi Refinement cultivator were exposed to this breath, their physical body might be incinerated.
With a thought, he looked at the proficiency panel.
[Cultivation Technique: Crocodile Demon’s 108 Body Refinement Techniques (23rd layer, proficiency 0.01%)].
The Body Refinement technique had broken through.
The 23rd layer of Body Refinement was on par with the 5th layer of Core Formation.
Looking at his longevity, nothing had changed.
Perhaps the current level of Body Refinement couldn’t enhance his body’s life expectancy.
After all, compared to the Green Wood Year Ring Skill, the longevity enhancing effect of the Body Refinement technique was even less than that of the Wood Spirit Root technique.
The essence of longevity lies in the change and influence of the body’s life level, not simply the accumulation and growth achieved through the cultivation technique.
Su Yu, who was subtly aware of the change in his physical strength, thought to himself, “If the power of the Body Refinement technique alone, combined with the Blood Whale Devouring the Moon technique, is unleashed, I might be able to rival an ordinary True Man in the 6th layer of the Core Formation Realm.”
Looking at the Five Elements Method.
[Cultivation Technique: Five Elements Method (Core Formation Realm Fourth Layer, proficiency 36.14%)].
In almost six years, an average of over 6% proficiency was accumulated each year.
Although slightly slower than when at the third layer of the Core Formation Realm, overall, it would only take sixteen years to advance to the fifth layer of the Core Formation Realm.
After the breakthrough in the Body Refinement technique, Su Yu didn’t make a fuss about it.
Just as always, he completed his daily cultivation in the cave, then continued to nurture the seeds and the nascent magic talismans, before resuming the forging of the Xingzhou puppet.
A tier-three, mid-tier puppet was not easy to forge, possibly requiring four to five years to complete.
Life in the Fallen Moon alliance’s hidden realm wasn’t much different.
The Yunjian Sect’s hidden realm.
Su Zhi entered and met with Su Yu and Luo Qianyu. She shared with them the changes outside in the Great Moon Prefecture.
Su Zhi said, “Several months ago, the Taixu Immortal League’s Lan Yu branch attempted to launch a surprise attack on the Chen Family, a hidden cultivator family. However, the Chen Family held numerous Moon Illusion Talismans. Not only did Lan Yu’s attack fail, but they were also defeated and routed by the Chen Family.”
“The Chen Family directly chased them into the Purple Light Prefecture, successfully attacking several immortal cities belonging to the Taixu Immortal League before the other branches of Taixu came to their aid. Only then did they retreat back to the Great Moon Prefecture.”
“In this battle, the Chen Family achieved a great victory. Lan Yu’s branch lost at least a thousand cultivators to the Chen Family, suffering heavy losses.”
Pausing, Su Zhi continued, “Furthermore, Bai Yue Immortal City, which probably received support from the Great Moon Palace, also had some illusion moon talismans. They launched a surprise attack half a month ago and successfully repelled Phoenix Valley from Fengluo Prefecture, causing them to leave hundreds of cultivator corpses in the Great Moon Prefecture.”
“Both of these counterattacks ended in a complete victory for us in the Great Moon Prefecture.”
