Chapter 2972 - 1097_2
This is a surprise within reason, yet unexpected.
The reason it’s within reason is because Luo Chen had previously advanced to the Fourth Order with Body Refinement, lagging in Qi Refinement and remaining in the Golden Core Period. Now that the Qi Refinement Realm has reached the Divine Transformation, and Body Refinement has slowly reached the peak of Fourth Order, it all makes sense.
The unexpected element stems from the cultivation technique "Hundred Poison Body Refinement Technique".
This technique has been in his possession for two hundred years, starting preliminary cultivation after refining the Hundred Poison King Gu.
However, over these two hundred years, Luo Chen’s focus has always been on the path of Qi Refinement, scarcely devoting any effort to cultivating the "Hundred Poison Body Refinement Technique".
Yet unknowingly, it reached the Great Perfection Level.
The key lies in the Hundred Poison King Gu!
This Gu consumes the world’s most toxic substances, then nourishes its host, tempering the physique.
The stronger the toxicity of the consumed substances, the better the nourishment effect.
Over two hundred years, Luo Chen would occasionally drink diluted poison spirit corn wine, and now all the stored stock has been depleted.
Thanks to the vast quantity of poison spirit corn, the Hundred Poison King Gu has, through nightly nourishment, gradually pushed Luo Chen’s sluggish Body Refinement progress to the Fourth Order pinnacle.
"This technique requires difficult entry, harsh conditions, and immense endurance, yet its effects are indeed miraculous!"
"As long as one can endure, as long as conditions permit, it’s akin to ’I remain unmoved in Body Refinement, the King Gu operates automatically.’"
"The transaction with Southern Border Li Heavenly Master was indeed a big gain for me!"
Luo Chen smiled slightly, quite satisfied with this unexpected surprise.
With a thought, his internal organs shuddered violently.
The next moment, a multicolored Gu insect fell into his palm.
This was the Hundred Poison King Gu.
Upon appearing, the Gu insect continuously opened and closed its mouthparts, as if extremely hungry.
Watching this Gu, Luo Chen’s smile gradually retracted and turned into regret.
The Fourth Stage of Body Refining is already the limit.
This is not only Luo Chen’s limit but also the limit of this King Gu.
Luo Chen no longer had toxic substances surpassing the poison spirit corn, and the Hundred Poison King Gu, being only Fourth Order, couldn’t help Luo Chen break into Ancient Wilderness Five Stages.
With a sigh, Luo Chen performed a basic insect dormancy technique, putting the Hundred Poison King Gu into a dormant state.
Then took out a jade box and sealed it inside.
This item was no longer useful to him, but it was still the King Gu, accompanied by the relevant technique.
If Luo Chen were to also integrate "The Flow of All Things", this could become a future cornerstone cultivation technique within the Luo Tian Sect.
If someone with great perseverance and fortune were to rely on this method, they might cultivate a physique as powerful as Luo Chen’s.
After doing all this, Luo Chen glanced over the Attribute Panel.
"Tianhuang Nirvana Sutra" was lacking, only at Grandmaster Level, which was attributed to the high order of this technique.
The rest of the techniques were all perfected, including "Soul Cleaving Technique"!
Regarding techniques, nothing needed to be said.
However, in the realm of Divine Power, Luo Chen was lacking.
The number of Divine Powers he mastered was too few.
Only Withering and Flourishing Dao Finger.
Though Three Heads and Six Arms, and Thousand Clouds Flowing Together each had the might of Divine Power, the former was built on physical strength, while the latter relied on external factors, namely the Nine Heavens Qi.
But Luo Chen wasn’t anxious.
He was still young and had plenty of time to create his own Divine Capability Art.
Not to mention, merging the Ninth Soul, among the memories, the "Qi Sea Floating Sky" was a technique with growth potential, capable of reaching Divine Power levels.
Luo Chen browsed the Attribute Panel with a swift glance.
After refining the Fifth-tier Soul-shaking Pill, the Pill Refinement Technique solidified at the Fifth-Order Alchemist level, perhaps now he could be called an "Alchemy Saint".
Aside from Pill Refinement Technique, Luo Chen’s proficiency in the other three popular techniques in the Immortal Cultivation World — Alchemy Array Artifacts — were also impressive, each achieving Fourth Order Master levels.
In addition, his knowledge spanned across healing technique, puppet technique, beast taming, exorcism, and more.
Over five hundred years, even excluding cultivation, Luo Chen’s achievements in various techniques were dazzlingly brilliant.
The light from the Attribute Panel gradually faded, as Luo Chen sat cross-legged in the Cave Mansion, beginning to deliberate on his future plans.
He had already broken through to Divine Transformation.
The matter of Ascension was right ahead.
Luo Chen planned to do it as soon as possible!
But given the lifespan of a Divine Transformation Great Power, the concept of "soon" certainly wasn’t immediate.
At the very least, he planned to return to the Luo Tian Sect once more, as there were several mundane affairs needing attention.
Moreover, being stuck at ninety-nine in Body Refinement was somewhat frustrating.
To step past this barrier, relying solely on the cultivation of inner strength would take unknown years of persistent effort, therefore Luo Chen planned to use external force.
A flick of the wrist released a swirling spirit light.
Eight flying corners, like a swallow poised to soar.
This was indeed the Penglai Octagon Pavilion.
Merging his Divine Perception into it, Luo Chen saw the Demonheart Tree he’d acquired three hundred years ago, cultivated over countless years.
Tai Sui had once said the fruit from the Demonheart Tree had immense benefits for Body Refiners.
Yet the fruit on the tree never matured and dropped.
For this, Luo Chen studied for long periods without success, later entrusting it entirely to Sang Jinghe.
Before Sang Jinghe failed to reach Nascent Soul and perished, he left Luo Chen a jade slip containing his research findings.
Before entering Closed-Door Cultivation, Luo Chen had read it briefly.
At this moment, as information flowed, Luo Chen appeared thoughtful.
"To catalyze this fruit, one could follow the initial cultivation concept of the Refining Heaven Demon Monarch, using the hearts of a Great Demon and Great Demon Monarch for mutual nourishment, extracting the power of their blood essence to condense the Unity Fruit. Alternatively, following Sang Jinghe’s hypothesis, using a pure Wild Beast Heart supplemented with the cultivator’s own blood essence may also form an alternative Unity Fruit."
