Chapter 1072 - 379: The Azure Phoenix Immortal is Seriously Injured Again!
Regarding White Tiger Mountain, Lu Changsheng was oblivious to what was happening with his own son.
He was still breaking through the Ninth Level of the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art.
“Boom Boom Boom—”
Within the Changsheng Hall, Lu Changsheng sat cross-legged, immobile as if he was an unblemished piece of jade, his body dazzling and radiant with treasure-like luster flowing through it.
His organs resonated continuously, clanging noisily, his breath boomed like rolling thunder, raising a terrifying force around his body as if waves were crashing against the shore.
His flesh, bones, and organs were all undergoing metamorphosis, a transformation akin to molting, shattering and rebirthing.
Who knows how long had passed when the radiance around Lu Changsheng gradually retracted.
There was no longer any trace of vitality flowing through his body, his breath was feeble, and his heart, blood, and organs seemed to have stopped functioning.
This was where flesh, organs, and bones reached their limits, a rebirth from annihilation, completing the final transformation!
In this way, Lu Changsheng sat without moving, resembling a piece of withered wood, his breathing halted.
His skin, once translucent, aged visibly at a rapid pace, deathly still.
Time trickled by.
Lu Changsheng appeared as if he had passed away, his body decaying and withering.
However, just as his vitality completely ceased, and he reached his demise, his entire being, like plants enduring the bitter cold winter, burst forth anew with life!
“Thump!”
Lu Changsheng’s heart beat.
The faint heartbeat sound grew louder, escalating steadily into a powerful rhythm, like drums of gods and demons.
“Rustle Rustle—”
At this moment, his blood began to revive, following the rhythm of his heartbeat.
His fresh, sparkling red blood surged like mighty rivers through his limbs and bones, cleansing his flesh, meridians, bones, and organs.
Who knows how much time passed when Lu Changsheng completed the transformation and opened his eyes.
His body was pristine and flawless, sacred and brilliant like divine gold, devoid of any imperfection.
“So this is what Third Order Body Refining feels like…”
Lu Changsheng felt the surging divine power throughout his body and murmured to himself.
The leap from the Eighth to the Ninth Level of the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art was a qualitative change.
His physical body was now on an entirely different realm from before.
Faced with someone like the Elder Ancestor of the Xu Family, a False Core Immortal, no need for the Nine Treasures Ruyi Bone, a single punch could obliterate him.
Even if his opponent’s Magical Treasures attacked, he could try to withstand them with his bare hands.
As for any Spiritual Artifacts or Magical Treasure Embryo, smash them directly!
Because his body was the most formidable humanoid weapon, comparable to Magical Treasures!
“However, the Ninth Level of the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art is much more difficult than I imagined; I’ll have to remind Ping’an to be extra cautious.”
Lu Changsheng thought back on the breakthrough process.
His Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art had long been at the peak of the Eighth Level.
He was only accumulating his foundation, waiting until his physique could no longer advance before challenging the Ninth Level.
Yet even so, he felt the process was extraordinarily perilous, one misstep could have led to a failed breakthrough.
If the breakthrough had failed, he would not have died, but his body would have been severely damaged, and his vital energy severely depleted.
“I wonder if I can now contend against her…”
Lu Changsheng clenched his hand, slightly warping and collapsing the space around, thinking of his female knight, Caiyun True Immortal Yun Wanshang.
Among all the cultivators he had encountered so far, she was the strongest.
He stood no chance against her.
After a moment of contemplation, Lu Changsheng drew a conclusion.
Unless he ambushed her while she was completely unguarded.
Otherwise, he stood no chance against this Caiyun True Immortal.
The one who previously appeared silently beside him, restraining his Divine Sense and Mana with a mere wave of her hand, possessed strength far beyond an ordinary Nascent Soul Immortal.
At least in the Middle Stage of Nascent Soul, or even Late Stage!
“Enduring the bitterest willows to become the greatest amongst men, what’s this little bit of hardship?”
Lu Changsheng didn’t dwell much on Yun Wanshang’s matter.
Just being ridden.
Although a bit gloomy, it was not to the point of seriousness.
Just consider it as offering some prenatal aura to his child’s mother in advance.
Once his own strength rose, Mr. Lu would tell her that his Yin Yang Energies were not to be taken lightly, only his child’s mother was entitled to them.
Lu Changsheng snapped his fingers, casting a Cleansing Technique, tidied up his robe a bit, and stepped out of the Cave Mansion.
“It seems the Tianyuan Supreme King Lotus will have to wait some more…”
Seeing the Heavenly Origin Precious Lotus in the Spiritual Spring, Lu Changsheng silently mused.
He had planned to use the Heavenly Origin Precious Lotus at the peak of Foundation Establishment, incorporating it as his Second Dantian to cultivate the Yin Yang Primordial Pill Method.
However, the origins of the Heavenly Origin Precious Lotus were not clean.
If used now, it would be awkward if Yun Wanshang took notice.
Although she seemed to bear no ill will toward him.
But caution is always a necessity!
He could not just trust her unconditionally like he did with Xiao Xiyue because they had been intimate.
“Now that I have broken through to Third Order Body Refining, I can also make a trip to the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range…”
Lu Changsheng gazed at the Heavenly Origin Supreme King Lotus before him, contemplating in his heart.
His journey to the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range was not to hunt down Demon Kings, refine Blood Essence Spirit Light, or to awaken the Taiyi Soul Body.
Rather, he wanted to intercept a few Origin Sources of the Spirit Veins to nourish the Cave Heaven Spirit Vein.
It might not elevate the Spirit Veins to Third Rank, but cultivating to the Second-tier Top Level was hopeful.
With that, the Elemental Elixirs condensed by the Yin Yang Primordial Pill Method, Second-order Superior Spirit Veins of Bi Lake Mountain, coupled with the Spiritual Eye Spring, Heavenly Origin Precious Lotus, and Spirit Gathering Array, would be sufficient for his Core Formation attempt!
“When things with Yun Wanshang are more or less sorted, Zi Xiao could come with me.”
“With my current strength, heading to the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range and targeting Second Grade Spirit Veins shouldn’t be dangerous…”
Lu Changsheng contemplated, planning to go later with Ling Zixiao.
