Chapter 500 - 205: Great Sun True Dragon Fist! Dinghai City, Wan Qianshan
Chapter 500: Chapter 205: Great Sun True Dragon Fist! Dinghai City, Wan Qianshan
WHOOSH!
With a long, drawn-out breath, Su Bai devoured all the Pill Qi that filled the room.
Deep within him, it coalesced into a small, perfectly round Elixir Pill.
He slowly stretched his limbs, and a series of cracks echoed out. Surging Blood Qi coursed through his body, nourishing his flesh and organs.
WHOOSH!
He gently closed his fingers into a fist. The air flowed like soft water between his digits, sending out layer after layer of ripples.
As the ripples spread, the dust motes floating in the air were pulverized into even finer particles.
Su Bai’s eyes were bright and clear, shining like stars.
"It’s done."
For an ordinary person, this much Pill Qi would be enough for a complete Rebirth. But for refining a True Form, it was far from sufficient.
For him, however, it was enough.
The better one’s understanding of cultivation and the greater one’s innate talent, the greater the achievements one can attain with fewer resources.
Geniuses not only refine resources faster and absorb more from them, but they also require fewer resources to begin with and reap greater rewards.
Only someone like that could be called a true prodigy.
How could a Cultivator propped up solely by resources ever be considered a prodigy?
Su Bai, of course, did not consider himself a prodigy.
But his perspective was vast, his original Cultivation had been formidable, and his foundation was profound.
In both his comprehension of cultivation and his efficiency at refining resources, he far surpassed any so-called prodigy.
Unfortunately, this body was the product of his Blood Rebirth. Ninety-nine percent of the Blood Qi he once possessed had been obliterated by that single finger.
This small amount of Pill Qi was nowhere near enough for him to make a full recovery.
Even so, anyone could see at a glance that he had already undergone a Rebirth.
As the last of the Pill Qi dissipated from the room, Ye Yangfeng snapped back to his senses.
"Senior!"
"You... you’ve... You’ve refined a True Form?"
He could hardly believe it.
Since childhood, he had been regularly immersed in medicinal baths, with specialists assigned to perform daily massages to temper his body.
Moreover, he had started learning the Twelve Dragon Fist as far back as he could remember.
Even so, he didn’t manage to refine his True Form until he was seventeen.
In Dinghai City, that was considered first-rate talent, second only to those prodigies born with auspicious phenomena.
Even peerless talents like Chiyun Immortal, Lin Longxiang, and Wu Qingyun had only managed to refine their True Forms after they turned three.
But this senior before him...
He had no guidance, no inherited techniques, and he was severely injured.
Yet in just over twenty days, he had actually refined a True Form!?
"This is only the beginning."
Su Bai slowly exhaled. A silvery-white stream of air shot out through the window, erupting into a puff of white smoke that swirled around the courtyard.
When he looked up again, his face was smooth and radiant, every pore sealed shut.
Every world’s system had its unique strengths, and the system of the Immortal Martial Heaven Realm, refined over tens of millions of years, was indeed perfected to an extreme.
In terms of developing the Physique alone, it could be considered a first-rate Cultivation System.
The transformation from refining a True Form was an all-encompassing change, from the inside out.
Once accomplished, both one’s stamina and lifespan would increase significantly.
Its significance was no less than breaking through to the Extraordinary Realm.
Furthermore, due to disparities in the refined True Form and in one’s innate talent, the power levels within the Refining Form Realm could vary drastically.
In terms of raw power, the weakest might only have the strength of nine bulls and two tigers, but a true expert in the Refining Form Realm could possess the might of twelve Dragons!
The gap between them was simply indescribable.
The power disparity among those who had refined a True Form could be even greater than the gap between someone in the Extraordinary Realm and an ordinary person.
In the Immortal Martial Heaven Realm, only after refining a True Form was one considered to have truly stepped onto the path of cultivation.
"Truly refining one isn’t something that can be accomplished overnight."
Su Bai glanced at Ye Yangfeng.
After a full day and night of being nourished by the Pill Qi, Ye Yangfeng’s injuries had improved slightly, but the change was infinitesimal compared to his own.
"Senior, it’s not as if you intend to cultivate only a single realm," Ye Yangfeng said, shaking his head.
He could tell that the Star River Form this senior was refining was based on a lofty concept; its form was immense, and its potential was naturally just as high.
In fact, tens of millions of years ago in the Immortal Martial Heaven Realm, the path of cultivation consisted only of the Refining Form Realm.
By cultivating that single realm to its absolute peak, one could become a terrifying Great Power, a King, or even a Celestial Venerable capable of dominating the entire Star Sea!
However, cultivating only that single realm was far too difficult. It consumed more resources and was naturally much slower.
Anyone who wasn’t a peerless talent was almost guaranteed to achieve nothing of note.
That was why, over tens of millions of years, various Great Powers built upon the Refining Form Realm, expanding it into the Nine Steps of Cultivation.
"Of course I don’t intend to cultivate only a single realm."
Su Bai nodded.
The Nine Realms of the Immortal Martial Heaven Realm were the product of tens of millions of years of evolution in the Martial Dao.
Behind the transformation of each step lay the legends of countless prodigies and heroes.
’Wouldn’t it be a waste to only cultivate a single realm?’
Besides, once he refined his True Form, he could use Experience Points to break through to the Ninth Level of the Refining Form Realm instantly. There was no need to cultivate at a snail’s pace.
"That’s good."
Ye Yangfeng breathed a sigh of relief.
He had been genuinely afraid that this senior intended to cultivate only a single realm.
While reaching the apex of a single realm could make one a king, every one of the Nine Steps of Cultivation was the crystallized essence of the Martial Dao, pioneered by countless geniuses and heroes.
In the Ancient Era, those great and powerful overlords cultivated a single realm because that was all that existed.
But now that the path of the Martial Dao consisted of Nine Realms, insisting on cultivating only one would be utterly foolish.
