Chapter 566: Chapter 9: Undying Nirvana Body
Cultivation knows no years, and another two years passed by.
New Calendar Year 35, the predicted time was drawing closer, and the outside world was bracing for conflict.
And Wang Sheng had come out of seclusion once again.
This time, his Qi-Blood stage had reached a peak.
“Qi Blood Furnace: 99.5%”
The phase of Qi-Blood originated from Ba Duan Jin and had gone through the stages of “Qi Blood like Mercury,” “Qi Blood Smoke,” and “Qi Blood like Dragon.”
He was now in the fourth stage.
The progress bar was not an experience bar; as the progress strengthened, his power grew accordingly.
For example, when progressing in Refining Qi into God, Primordial Spirit—from one percent to twenty or thirty percent—his Divine Thought and other related abilities would significantly improve. Reaching one hundred percent would be a qualitative change, with strength increasing by hundreds or even thousands of times.
It was the same case with the Qi Blood Furnace.
However, the Qi Blood Furnace was different from the previous Qi-Blood entries; it was created because of the “incubating seed.”
While it could enhance strength, in terms of the proportion, it was not as effective as the previous Qi-Blood realms.
But this time, reaching one hundred percent was different.
The seed engendered by the Qi-Blood originally led to an extremely powerful physical constitution, yet the Divine Body remained incomplete because the associated “Qi Blood Furnace” had not reached its true peak.
“This time, the physical constitution should be fully developed, and even the delineation line completely eradicated…”
The delineation line had already been dealt with, except that “Physical constitution Seed” and “Spiritual Seed” needed a degree of harmony to fully integrate.
Harmony could be enhanced through either improving Inner Core Skill or Qi-Blood.
Therefore, he was not in a rush, confident he could complete it during the stage of Refining Qi into God, Primordial Spirit.
This time, the Qi Blood Furnace would undergo a qualitative transformation. As an ability derived from Ba Duan Jin, even if the primary goal was not to enhance Qi-Blood, the mere additional improvement was quite remarkable.
The delineation line, already on the brink of complete dissolution due to the rise in his cultivation, should be thoroughly resolved this time.
After making some preparations and readying a large quantity of Creation Blood Replenishing Pills, Wang Sheng prepared to enter into cultivation.
However, the Planet Will appeared at this moment.
[Are you about to make a breakthrough?]
“Yes, how did you know?” Although he hadn’t gone to great lengths to conceal his breakthrough, the Planet Will appearing so promptly made him wonder if it had been watching him all along.
[I have always been watching you. You’ve been in seclusion, and the energy inside of you is becoming increasingly terrifying. I just can’t ignore it!] The Planet Will admitted frankly.
With that, Wang Sheng didn’t have much to say, although he was quite curious, “Does my breakthrough affect you in any way?”
[Of course, it does. At your level, the energy inside you is tremendously fearsome. You are no longer considered a creature of the Planet. Every breakthrough requires a horrifying amount of energy, even enough to potentially drain the energy of the planet dry… It was fine before the energies gathered. Now that they have converged, if you drain it all at once, although astral space will replenish it, it could impact the world’s potential.]
“Impact the world potential, are you serious?” Wang Sheng could never have imagined that a single breakthrough could have such grave consequences.
[Really, I am Planet Will, not something that simply comes into being carelessly. Some worlds are completely unaware of this, and powerhouses waste potential in their breakthroughs.] The Planet Will seemed quite proud.
Wang Sheng didn’t argue but nodded instead. The Planet Will indeed knew much information.
“But for beings at my level, planet or world potential doesn’t really make much of a difference, right?”
It wasn’t just Eighth Realm beings that could survive detached from a planet, even those at the Seventh Realm could.
Potential and such hardly mattered to some cultivators. If they could exploit something from the planet, they might even prefer to make a breakthrough inside the planet or world.
[It makes a difference! If there were no benefits to planets and worlds, why would there be invasions? Beyond various resources, there are deeper elements.]
The Planet Will retorted like a child.
But Wang Sheng gave no face, “Like what?”
[…I don’t have enough information yet, so I don’t know. But there definitely is something. Anyway, if possible, you must break through outside the planet or world, in astral space.]
The Planet Will itself couldn’t specify anything but still emphasized not to break through within the planet.
Wang Sheng just laughed, not arguing.
For him, it did not make a difference where the breakthrough occurred—breaking through in astral space then!
It was, after all, a form of romance.
Accompanied by the stars, something not every powerhouse could enjoy.
Thus, he transformed into a sword light and in the blink of an eye, reached the astral space again, gazing once more upon the Life Planet he lived on.
It had to be said, even though he had seen it many times, a planet capable of nurturing life never ceased to amaze him with its magnificence.
This time was again guided by the Planet Will, but the distance wasn’t as far as when there were astral tremors, it was on a captured meteor.
“This position isn’t bad!”
Close enough to see the planet, yet far enough to peer into astral space, quite stable as well, and energy density was high.
[I chose this place, of course, it’s good. Breaking through here, you’ll benefit.]
Wang Sheng just laughed, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, and then sat down in meditation to prepare for the breakthrough.
The Planet Will knew what he intended to do and quietly departed.
And his breakthrough officially began.
