Chapter 252 Glazed Lotus Heart Liquid Body Refinement Stage 3 (Early Stage)
After saying that, Taki hesitated for a moment before continuing.
"Give me another half month to digest this, and then I will begin the process of forming my core."
In her words, the baptism of the dragon vein had accumulated a golden Qi body in her Qi Sea, and as long as it was there, she was confident that she could successfully condense the elixir.
There was nothing inside Wang Yu's body.
Such opportunities seem to vary from person to person. Wang Yu's gains were mostly in the Yinming Demon Dragon Technique and physical benefits, with few other aspects.
Xueyu focused entirely on her bloodline potential.
If Taki could form her core, she would make another breakthrough in the art of array formation, which would greatly benefit her future explorations.
Due to the lack of engraved innate divine abilities and missing innate magical treasures, the increase in direct combat power will not be too exaggerated.
Wait until she starts preparing.
Wang Yu then began studying the [Netherworld Demon Dragon Technique]!
This cultivation method has always only had the method of cultivation; there are no accompanying secret techniques, prescriptions, bloodline artifact diagrams, etc.
No, that's not right either. There is a recipe for a Dragon Blood Elixir.
Something is better than nothing.
Having undergone the baptism of the dragon vein, it was as if the heavens and earth had been mended, and many new things were gained that Wang Yu could study.
That's what he should learn most.
This is the combat technique of body cultivators—the [Demon Dragon Fist]! It is the fist technique most compatible with the Yin-Yang Demon Dragon Technique, and can perfectly unleash the powerful strength of this body.
Compared to supernatural abilities like the "Little Asura Killing Fist" and the "Yellow Spring Great Handprint," its most typical characteristic, in Wang Yu's opinion, is that it resembles a martial arts technique.
Boxing skills!
How to exert force, how to utilize joints, and how to utilize the physique honed by the Yinming Demon Dragon Technique—among these, the most powerful ultimate move is the physical supernatural power!
It is a true martial art, not a mind-based style like the Little Asura Killing Fist.
The most powerful move in the Demon Dragon Fist is called "Dragon Tail Swing." It looks like a spinning kick, but it can actually unleash the Yin-Yang Demon Dragon, which is formed from blood and qi, to its extreme.
The ability to shatter mountains and split the earth is nothing extraordinary. If one can cultivate it to perfection, not only will Wang Yu's combat skills rise sharply, but his close combat ability will also be able to completely overwhelm others.
It is highly effective for risking one's life in critical moments.
Before he breaks through to the Core Formation stage, this "Dragon Fist" will be his most powerful trump card, enough to surpass the Yellow Spring Great Handprint.
After all, the latter requires magical power, while once he breaks through to the third level of body refinement, he will be able to perfectly demonstrate its profoundness and truly stand at the level of a strong person.
Time flies when you're immersed in cultivation.
Another ten days have passed.
When Long Yiran had finished preparing, he informed Wang Yu and then sat cross-legged at the spot where the Thunder Corpse had undergone its tribulation, preparing to form its core.
She felt she could share in some good fortune, since Lei Shi had successfully transcended the tribulation, and her only reliance was the Scattered Thunder Treasure Array Flag.
Generally speaking, the time required to condense a golden core is measured in years, since one must condense the sea of true essence into a solid golden core in order to transform into magical power.
It transforms from vaporization to liquid, and then from liquefaction to solid.
Only after two transformations and sublimations of quality can the golden elixir be condensed, and the magical power is restored to its original gaseous state.
The cultivation of a Core Formation cultivator involves absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, refining it, and then injecting it into their golden core to gain more magical power.
When the magical power has accumulated to a certain extent, it needs to be used to nourish the Golden Core, increasing its size and making it more round and perfect. There are also three hurdles to overcome.
However, the dragon vein energy within Longyi's Qi Sea remained.
It's equivalent to a top-grade Core Formation spiritual object, capable of pulling her essence, energy, and spirit to the limit she can withstand. In this way, the three tests of divine sense, true essence, and blood and qi are no challenge for her at all.
And the speed was unbelievably fast. She passed through the most important and slowest accumulation stage in one go, taking only one month.
Given her background as a rogue cultivator, this was almost a miracle.
The value of the dragon vein blessing has been further enhanced.
However, when it came to compressing her true essence sea, her speed inevitably slowed down, and it took her half a year of painstaking effort to barely achieve it.
This made Wang Yu realize that Long Yiran's spiritual root aptitude was not outstanding, and even her comprehension talent was not good. Her current mastery of formations was all due to time.
She was nearly two hundred years older than Wang Yu, a great-grandmother-level figure.
After initial solidification was successful.
Divine consciousness and vital energy began to flow into the golden elixir to help it stabilize its form, and this continued for another six months.
The sky above the Heavenly Soul Sect's secret realm was once again shrouded in dark clouds.
The tribulation of lightning has arrived!
She successfully passed the first tribulation of lightning using the methods of an array master, which gave her great confidence.
The second lightning tribulation, however, dealt her a heavy blow.
The layers of formations were shattered by the heavenly lightning in an instant, and the remaining power struck her, almost killing her!
Fortunately, she still had several defensive magical artifacts. After sacrificing them, she barely withstood the aftershocks. Apart from some flesh and blood that turned into charred remains, her condition was still within acceptable limits.
The third lightning tribulation that followed was one she didn't try to withstand; instead, she obediently used the [Heavenly Heart Thunder-Dispersing Treasure Array Flag] that Wang Yu had lent her!
This time it went incredibly smoothly. As soon as the tribulation lightning dissipated, her aura quickly stabilized. Once her injuries healed and she consolidated her cultivation level, she would be considered successful.
Seeing this, Wang Yu did not wait for her to wake up.
After retrieving the twelve precious flags and moving away from where Taki was still sitting cross-legged, he began his own path to breakthrough.
For a body cultivator to break through to the third rank, the key lies in whether the [Divine Essence] can be successfully condensed. It is a life-or-death situation, and failure means death, which can easily generate fear.
He was full of confidence, certain that the foundation he had built was incredibly deep and solid, and that he had invested just as much in the path of body refinement.
From the initial Dragon Blood Elixir, Dragon Blood Essence, Myriad Spirit Poison Marrow, Bloodthorn Tiger Staff, and so on, to the crucial Dragon Vein Baptism at the end.
If he cannot succeed, no one else can.
After meditating for three days, Wang Yu took out the [Glazed Lotus Heart Elixir], which had the effect of breaking through realms.
When he broke through to the second level of body refinement last time, he used Vajra Liquid. Both of these treasures were body refinement spiritual items produced after Buddhism influenced this world.
In addition to the Heart Sutra, his connection with Buddhism is by no means shallow.
Surrounded by ice walls, Wang Yu took off his clothes and applied the precious liquid to every part of his skin, not even sparing sensitive areas like the perineum.
The effects of this Crystal Lotus Heart Elixir were astonishing. Before he even started using it, he felt his blood and qi boiling, and a chilling aura began to spread.
Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine drops of essence blood within the dragon's spine began to merge as he continuously circulated his energy, completing the final three-stage condensation and dispersal with lightning speed.
The third drop of mixed true blood dispersed into the limbs and bones.
The true essence that had been dispersed into the body the first two times began to resonate with the third drop, and every part of the body—flesh, blood, bones, tendons, internal organs—was stimulated to unleash an unprecedented surge of vital energy.
The energy continuously converged into the dragon's spine, while the Glazed Lotus Heart Elixir also provided a massive amount of pure power. After penetrating the body, it restored the body that had been drained.
Then, even more Yin and Yang Qi and Blood are squeezed out, which is its effect on body refinement breakthrough.
The essence of life is concentrated in the Qi and blood.
The more abundant his Qi and blood, the higher the chance of successful condensation. The Crystal Lotus Heart Elixir is constantly restoring his body, which has been completely drained.
Restore → Squeeze dry → Restore → Squeeze dry!
The cycle repeats endlessly, yet we never tire of it.
The restorative effect of the precious elixir reached its limit after three cycles.
"when--"
In the darkness, Wang Yu seemed to hear the sound of an ancient temple bell ringing, carrying a strong sense of Zen.
Inside the dragon's spine, an indescribable amount of massive blood and qi completely filled the area. Wang Yu tried his best to control it with his divine sense, compressing it using the "Marrow Condensation Technique" from his cultivation method.
The effect was remarkable; the progress, which had reached one-third, suddenly accelerated by several dimensions after hearing the bell ringing.
His thinking seemed to have accelerated considerably, and he quickly grasped the key points, condensing sixty percent of the essence in one go, reaching this stage.
The essence is beginning to take shape, and the probability of failure is infinitely close to zero.
Wang Yu's pace inevitably slowed down as he meticulously refined every detail, striving to become even stronger after his breakthrough.
The sound of the bell was undoubtedly an effect of the Crystal Lotus Heart Elixir; the extra blood and energy it provided tripled Wang Yu's total blood and energy.
The Zen-inspired bell provided allowed him to quickly grasp the essence of marrow condensation. This was the powerful effect of a top-grade breakthrough spiritual item. With his foundation, failure was almost impossible!
What follows is a long convergence process.
Wang Yu's inner core vitality grew stronger, but his body became withered and lifeless due to the sudden draining of his vital energy.
It was as if he had attained nirvana, and the mysteries of life and death were fully revealed in this moment.
Destruction precedes construction; withering and flourishing alternate!
Another six months have passed.
On this day, Taki had just awakened from his stable state when he saw a naked man floating in mid-air, his powerful muscles making him blush.
Apart from her slightly fairer complexion, she is practically perfect.
Above the sky, within the secret realm.
The third tribulation of lightning was gathering power, and the figure floating in mid-air was Wang Yu, who had been condensing his power for half a year.
After the essence is born in the spine, black, gold and blue blood immediately flows out from the dragon spine and reaches every part of the body through the blood vessels.
Wherever it goes, everything becomes full of life and divine power.
A network of structures, distinct from blood vessels and meridians, covers the entire body along with the blood and essence.
At this moment, Wang Yu has officially reached the early stage of the third level of body refinement, and only the final tribulation of lightning is needed to complete it.
The essence of his being granted him two abilities.
—The power to throw mountains!
—The body of diamond!
Needless to say, the former will bring his power to an exaggerated level.
The latter is equivalent to the "indestructible golden core" of the Golden Core stage, which not only endows Wang Yu with powerful defense but also grants him a trace of indestructibility.
The physical body will become extremely difficult to destroy; in layman's terms, its resilience will be greatly enhanced, and its resistance to various forces will be significantly increased.
Furthermore, Wang Yu's soul can reside in fragments of his body, achieving the unique effect of hiding the soul within the bones. If one cultivates the art of soul-stealing...
He can use a fragment of his body to seize another's body and achieve a new life, greatly enhancing his vitality and recovery ability.
At that time.
As the lightning tribulation began to fall, Wang Yu, having experienced the essence of the Vajra Body's talent, opened his arms to welcome the lightning baptism. This was the power of a pure body cultivator!
Bathing in lightning tribulation is like taking a bath; it can even further temper one's physique.
In the blink of an eye.
After passing through the three tribulations of lightning and the dark clouds dissipated, he didn't need any tribulation-crossing treasures at all. As long as his physical body could keep up, that would be the most powerful defensive weapon.
