The Great Wild God - Chapter 106

Chapter 106 Perfection of the Fleshly Body
“Senior, let’s refine the formation!”

Chen Xun walked out of the waterfall and said to Daoist Cyanwood.

Daoist Greenwood looked at the white clouds and dogs in the sky. He had long since looked down on life and death. He knew that Zong Tu was sitting under the cliff and risking his life to fight for a chance. However, Chen Xun, who was indifferent to everything, was now so moved. He thought to himself, Do you have to abandon human emotions when cultivating the Dao?

Normally speaking, Chen Xun’s Qi and blood circulation hadn’t reached perfection yet, and under the influence of Zong Tu’s death trial, his mind trembled, and it wasn’t a good time to start refining formations.

However, Daoist Greenwood’s heart was filled with pride, and he said, “Alright, let’s start refining now!”

Daoist Azurewood thought that the Black Python Tribe would be able to gather all the ingredients for another Spirit Gathering Formation within three to five years. It was already fast enough. He didn’t expect that only a year had passed and the ingredients needed for the refinement would be gathered one after another.

Because when they engraved the bronze seal, the circulation of Qi and blood couldn’t stop at all, Chen Xun and the others had already prepared a dozen or so Nine Yang Pills.

More than a dozen Nine Yang Pills were worth more than a thousand talismans. Normally, only those who advanced into the Reincarnation Realm would be willing to take them.

In order not to be disturbed and ensure that birds and beasts could enter, Chen Xun specially invited Nan Liao, Zongsang, and the others to return to the stone village and guard the surroundings of the stone ridge.

In the next few days, Chen Xun stopped cultivating. He read and sat quietly every day. Only when his mind was clear and his qi and blood recovered to their peak did he consume the Nine Yang Pill. He took a bronze seal and engraved it into the seal. Every second, Daoist Greenwood used a golden needle to pierce through the coral and injected the coral jade liquid into the seal to solidify its shape.

Every single one of them revealed a sparkling and translucent jade luster, giving off a green glow, and the quality of the jade luster was extraordinary.

Chen Xun and Daoist Azure Wood had only spent more than a month to refine eight Bronze Seals of Mysterious Talismans.

The six seals were complete, and the two extra bronze seals could be used to refine the third set of Spirit Gathering Formations, or they could be used alone.

Apart from the six bronze seals, the Spirit Gathering Formation’s array disc was even more difficult.

Within a month, Chen Xun had failed four consecutive times. Only Crimson Essence Copper and the other refining materials that he had used up were worth nearly a thousand talismans. It wasn’t until the fifth time, when he ruthlessly injected half of his Spiritual Energy, that he succeeded in refining the array disc in one fell swoop.

The Scarlet Essence Copper Disk glowed with a yellow metallic luster. It was half a foot in diameter and looked rather inconspicuous. It inserted six profound talisman copper seals into the sealing groove of the Talisman Array Disk and injected a bit of Spiritual Sense. In an instant, a bright Spiritual Light emitted out, causing the Array Disk to have an indescribable dao charm.

Very quickly, an extremely weak vortex formed on the array disc, stirring up the surrounding Profound Breath Spirit Qi.

At this moment, the windows of the hilltop thatched cottage were open. The moonlight was like water. When it shone on the simple and rough stone table, strands of extremely weak Lunar Profound Qi separated from the moonlight. Soon, the vortex of Spiritual Qi on the array disc expanded to a half-step radius.

“Is this done?” Chen Xun asked happily.

“This is refined!” Daoist Greenwood said happily.

He had originally thought that Chen Xun would suffer a setback if he didn’t see his Qi and blood cultivating to the point where it wouldn’t hinder him from perfecting the formation. He hadn’t expected that he would be able to refine such a profound and complicated formation disk for the fifth time. He thought to himself, let alone Cang Lan, how many other True Yang Realm cultivators in the entire Heavenly Domain of Cloud Continent would be able to accomplish this step?

Chen Xun took the array disc, pushed open the door and walked out of the thatched cottage, heading straight down the cliff.

With just a bit of spiritual sense, one could form a vortex of spiritual energy. If someone else was in the vortex of spiritual energy and cultivated the Subduing Origin Technique, they could gain some benefits at the same time.

Grandpa used his life to risk a sliver of hope to cultivate into spiritual energy. After igniting his last bit of life energy, he was unwilling to consume precious pills. Chen Xun was able to refine the Spirit Gathering Formation and increase Grandpa’s cultivation by another portion.

However, when Chen Xun jumped down the cliff, he saw Zong Sang and Nan Liao, who had been guarding the cliff all night, all had happy expressions on their faces.

Chen Xun turned around and looked at the flowing water. Although Grandpa’s beard had turned snow white, it was no longer as dim as before. His skinny face was no longer sticking to his cheekbones, and was filled with vitality.

“Grandpa’s fate is recovering!” Zong Ya also noticed the abnormality and was so excited that he was about to jump up.

Daoist Greenwood floated down. Looking at this situation, he let his emotions dim. At this moment, he said emotionally, “I never thought that this technique would really be able to refine spiritual energy. We might be able to delay the tribulation of that fleshly body for several decades!”

Chen Xun saw that Grandpa had already refined his Spiritual Energy, but he wasn’t in a hurry to leave seclusion. He knew that Grandpa most likely wanted to break through his physical barrier in one go.

At this moment, they all retreated to the grass hut on the summit of the mountain, leaving Grandpa to continue cultivating in the waterfall below the cliff.

*********************

Returning to the top of the mountain, Nan Liao and Zong Sang asked about the refinement of the Spirit Gathering Formation. Chen Xun showed them the formation plate, “It’s done.”

“What a coincidence. The Black Python can be considered as having a double happiness today!” Nan Liao, who had always been calm, could not hide his excitement at this moment.

“Perhaps it’s not a coincidence,” Daoist Greenwood said. “Zong Tu fought with his life. Chen Xun also threw a single stake. His Qi was attracted to him, and the will of the heavens was unpredictable. He just didn’t know who had achieved who?”

Chen Xun laughed heartily. He didn’t care about these small details. The Spirit Gathering Formation was completely refined, and he hadn’t had time to carefully examine it.

Low-level profound talismans, such as water purification, dust avoidance, wind control, and so on, were engraved with scarlet bronze seals. After injecting spiritual sense, one would be able to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

The principle of the Spirit Gathering Formation was not complicated. It could even be said to be very simple. It was to use the Spirit Gathering ability of the six Profound Talisman Copper Seals to gather the weak spiritual energy around it. The key was to make the Profound Talisman Copper Seals absorb spiritual energy on the formation disk, but without injecting it, it would naturally form a dense vortex of spiritual energy on the formation disk.

As the core of the formation, the refining principle of the Talisman Array Disk was almost the same as the Origin Subduing Technique.

Chen Xun sat cross-legged in the vortex of spiritual energy. After cultivating the Origin Subduing Technique for a moment, he felt that his efficiency was more than 30% higher than before.

The Spiritual Qi around Shi Ling was sparse, and the Spirit Gathering Formation could increase the efficiency of cultivating the Origin Subduing Technique by 30%. It did not seem very obvious.

However, if one were to use the Spirit Gathering Formation in a heavenly paradise with rich spiritual energy, their cultivation speed would be 30% faster than others. After accumulating over the years, how shocking would the difference be?

Chen Xun thought to himself, this Spirit Gathering Formation didn’t seem to be considered high-end amongst talismans, but when it came to practicality, it wasn’t even slightly inferior to an advanced magical artifact.

“With the formation in hand, when the sky is extremely cold, I can gather the extremely cold profound energy and refine my muscles, bones, skin, and flesh again!” Chen Xun happily held the array disc in his hand and couldn’t help but say.

‘”Ah, now that you can lift 10,000 jin of stones with one hand, you’re throwing us old fellows half a street away. You still have to continue pressing down on the seventh level of Blood Transformation. You don’t want to temper your body to perfection in the True Yang Realm and try to break through the physical barrier, do you?” Zong Sang couldn’t help but ask in surprise when he heard that Chen Xun wanted to temper his muscles and bones.

“Is there a perfection of the True Yang Realm?” Chen Xun asked.

Chen Xun purposely suppressed the fact that he hadn’t broken through to the seventh level of Blood Transformation. However, within a year and a half, he had cultivated the Origin Subduing Technique to absorb Lunar Profound Qi and fused with Spiritual Energy. The muscles, bones, skin, and flesh around his body had been tempered repeatedly, and his physical body had already reached the point where he could lift 10,000 jin of stones with one hand.

Chen Xun’s current physical strength was already known as Zong Tu, Nan Liao, and the others were stunned. However, Chen Xun knew that he was far from reaching the peak of his physical body cultivation. He didn’t even know what kind of realm a perfect physical body was.

The more he knew about the mysteries of the Six-buttocks Giant Demon Blood, the more he knew that if his physical body was not tempered to be strong enough, he would easily want to break through the physical barrier. He was just asking for trouble.

Azure Water had a population of thirty to fifty million, and even if there weren’t fifty thousand, there would still be thirty thousand high-grade Barbarian Martial Cultivators. However, to be able to advance to another level, becoming a Heavenly Barbarian was less than one hundred and one.

It was a hundred times harder for Chen Xun to enter the Reincarnation Realm than an ordinary True Yang Realm cultivator.

Compared to breaking through the physical barrier, perhaps he should chase after the perfection of his physical body.

Now that he had refined the Spirit Gathering Formation, it meant that he would not only be able to cultivate faster, but would also be able to temper his physical body to a new limit in a desperate place where the polar spiritual energy was even more abundant.

In another sense, he was currently trying to break through the physical barrier.

Daoist Azurewood whispered, “When I traveled to Cloud Continent, I heard that there was an extraordinary person from the Xi Martial Emperor’s Clan. He was born with divine power and cultivated the True Yang Realm’s Fiendgod Body Refining Technique. It is said that he was only a step away from the perfection of his physical body when he was in the True Yang Realm …”

“In this world, there really are people who cultivate to the perfection of their physical bodies in the True Yang Realm. Isn’t that as powerful as a Fiendgod?” Nan Liao asked in surprise.

“Whether that martial artist from the Xi Martial Emperor Clan is as powerful as a devil or not is unknown to others,” Daoist Azurewood smiled. “The Emperor Temple honors a great halberd that this martial artist used in the True Yang Realm. It is said to weigh 3,600 jin.”

Hearing what Daoist Greenwood said, Zong Tu and Nan Liao took a deep breath.

They could lift a heavy object weighing 3,600 jin, but when it came to wielding weapons like flying blades, Zong Sang and Nan Liao, they were most suitable for wielding three to five hundred jin of refined gold halberds, spears, and other large weapons.

The genius of the Xi Martial Emperor Clan was capable of waving a 3,000 to 4,000-weight halberd like flying at the True Yang Realm, which meant that his two arms were at least 40,000 to 50,000 kilograms of strength.

Thinking about it made people stunned.

Zong Ya asked incredulously, “Isn’t that a Reincarnation Realm expert who can’t be his enemy?”

“There are some bloodlines that are extremely difficult to cultivate, but cultivating successfully always stands above all living beings,” Daoist Greenwood sighed with emotion. “Because these bloodlines are passed down from Fiendgods …”

************************

Wu Gong Zong Tu cultivated spiritual energy and did not leave immediately. He wanted to break through the physical barrier in one go, but he was no longer afraid of being interrupted by someone. Zong Sang and Nan Liao did not guard the stone ridge and returned to the stronghold to rest.

Chen Xun stood in front of the cliff and looked at the snow-capped mountains under the moon. The world was completely silent. However, when he spread out his Spiritual Sense, he could still sense the silent life force beneath the snow.

“Are you leaving in these two days?” Daoist Azurewood walked over. Although he had long since reached the Traceless Snow stage, stepping on the snow and leaving behind a series of crooked footprints on the mountain peak stone path was interesting.

Chen Xun nodded his head. He had been cultivating on the Stone Ridge for more than a year.

When Grandpa came out of seclusion and his cultivation increased greatly, Daoist Greenwood cultivated his spiritual power in seclusion. There was no need for him to stay in Stone Ridge anymore. It was time for him to go out for a walk.

Chen Xun said, “Go north and climb to the summit of the mountains. Perhaps you can absorb the Profound Frost Qi …”

“Go. Cultivation is important, but don’t forget the fun of traveling.” Daoist Azurewood smiled. “Reading ten thousand books and traveling ten thousand miles, the most memorable time of my life is thirty years of wandering around the world like a beggar.”

“Chen Xun cannot protect Senior.” Chen Xun said apologetically.

“Zong Tu and I are old fools. Guarding this stone ridge won’t be lonely.” Daoist Azurewood waved his sleeves and smiled. “Zuoqiu and Qianlan aren’t interested in what I learned in drawing talismans. Now that I’ve taught them to you, I can forget about it. If you return here in two to three years, maybe we’ll really meet again.”

Cultivation talked about resources and opportunities. Grandpa could cultivate spiritual energy, but Senior Greenwood might not be able to.

If he fails to cultivate spiritual energy in two to three years, Senior Cyanwood will have to sit down and transform under this cliff …

He didn’t know if he could cultivate to the perfection of his physical body in the True Yang Realm, but he always gave it a try.

Perhaps it would only be two to three years before he could return. Perhaps the separation between heaven and earth caused Chen Xun to feel melancholy in his heart.
