Free Web NovelChapter 333: Chapter 329: Late-stage Crystal, Tier 4 Body Refining
「Three months later.」
Jade Dew Island, Seclusion Chamber.
Su Ye opened his eyes, an azure brilliance shining within his pupils.
At this moment, his cultivation had reached the peak of the Mid-stage Crystal realm.
Thanks to the Ghostly Flood Dragon’s [Harmony], the bottleneck between the Mid-stage Crystal and Late-stage Crystal realms—an insurmountable chasm for ordinary cultivators—was as fragile as a sheet of paper to Su Ye!
Once he had accumulated enough Magical Power, he could cross the bottleneck and step into the Late-stage Crystal realm anytime, anywhere!
’However, my goal isn’t limited to just this,’ Su Ye murmured.
Breaking through to the Late-stage Crystal realm would be no challenge at all.
His true goal, however, was to use this breakthrough to trigger a physical transformation and achieve Tier Four Body Refining!
WHOOSH...
Su Ye ceased his cultivation and rose to his feet.
He pressed a mechanism, and a door within the Seclusion Chamber opened.
As Su Ye walked, illumination Arrays on both sides of the walls lit up. Soon, he arrived in another room. In the center of the room was a silver bath crafted from Ice Soul Jade!
Surrounding it stood lifelike bronze statues of flood dragon heads.
POP.
Su Ye snapped his fingers.
SPLASH.
The mouths of the flood dragon statues opened and closed as if alive, and a viscous, pale silver medicinal liquid gushed out, filling the pool.
This was a secret Body Refining elixir, effective at nourishing the meridians and tempering the physical body.
It was a new formula, deduced and improved by several Alchemy Grandmasters who combined the strengths of both the Cyan Profound Sect and the Spirit Control Sect!
Needless to say, it was incredibly effective. Besides being expensive, it had no other flaws.
And this secret elixir was only the beginning.
HUM.
Su Ye’s fingers twitched, and his Storage Ring flashed with light.
Several Body Refining treasures, including the Seven-Colored Profound Flowing Paste, materialized in the air.
They floated around him like stars orbiting the moon, ready to be used!
After a short wait,
the medicinal liquid in the pool reached the desired level.
The preparations were complete!
WHOOSH...
’Time to begin!’
Su Ye took a deep breath, shed his clothes, formed a hand seal for a Technique, and slowly lowered himself into the pool.
The pale silver Body Refining elixir soaked into his skin. First, it was bone-chillingly cold, but a moment later, it turned into a scorching heat. The alternating sensations of ice and fire sent a tingling numbness through his mind.
WHOOSH...
Su Ye closed his eyes.
He cleared his mind of stray thoughts, calmed his spirit, and began to assault the bottleneck.
His Magical Power surged like a tide, completing one Circulation after another!
In an instant.
CRACK.
A faint shattering sound echoed in Su Ye’s ears.
BOOM!
Inside his Qi Sea Dantian, the azure Magic Power Crystal trembled violently!
The Glazed Golden Patterns on its surface extended further, shining with a brilliant golden light that flowed with a mystical rhythm!
’It’s a natural progression.’
At that very moment, Su Ye stepped into the Late-stage Crystal realm.
The Magic Power Crystal trembled slightly, suffused with an azure hue, as it began to produce even purer, higher-quality Taiqing Magical Power!
At the same time, Su Ye’s total Magical Power surged, increasing threefold from its original amount!
’What a terrifying increase!’
’At this rate, by the time I reach Crystal Perfection, my total Magical Power will be at least twenty times greater than that of other cultivators at the same realm...’
’Compared to when I first formed my crystal, as my realm has advanced, my Magical Power advantage over my peers hasn’t shrunk. It’s actually grown wider!’
Su Ye reflected with awe.
Besides his Magical Power, Su Ye’s Divine Sense also grew accordingly.
However, it did not reach Tier Four Mid Stage.
’The higher the tier, the harder it is to advance... That’s perfectly normal.’
Su Ye understood that reaching Tier Four Mid Stage Divine Sense wasn’t something that could be achieved in a single realm advancement.
The focus of his advancement this time was still the transformation of his physical body!
HUM.
Su Ye’s body soaked in the pale silver Body Refining elixir, absorbing its medicinal power to enhance his physique.
Well-defined muscle lines emerged. As the medicinal power seeped in, Su Ye’s physical strength and vitality increased uniformly, emitting an intimidating pressure!
During a realm breakthrough, all aspects of a cultivator undergo a transformation. In this period, improving one’s physical body and Divine Sense is much easier than usual.
At this moment.
Su Ye’s body was beginning to transform toward Tier Four.
However... at this rate, it was clear he wouldn’t be able to reach Tier Four before the benefits of his Breaking Realm ended.
’As expected.’
Su Ye wasn’t concerned; he had anticipated this.
’My physical foundation is still a long way from Tier Four Body Refining.’
’But it doesn’t matter.’
Several Body Refining treasures, acquired at great cost, floated toward him, guided by his Magical Power.
’Moon Fruit, Nanya Zhi...’
’And...’
’The Seven-Colored Profound Flowing Paste!’
Su Ye consumed the several Body Refining treasures one by one!
BOOM!
Instantly!
A scorching, turbulent torrent of heat erupted within Su Ye’s body like a volcano, rapidly spreading to his limbs and bones!
’The Taiqing guards against the turbid, the Cold Jade extends the world...’
He recited the incantation to stabilize his mind and operated the Taiqing Cold Jade Skill, absorbing the torrent of heat and converting it into his own power.
Su Ye sat cross-legged in the pool, his vitality raging like a furnace. It surged like molten lava, causing the room’s temperature to skyrocket as if it were engulfed in flames!
...
An unknown amount of time passed.
The pale silver Body Refining elixir in the silver pool was completely consumed.
WHOOSH.
A long, deep breath like that of a desolate beast resounded through the room, stirring up a whistling wind!
Su Ye reined in his surging vitality and slowly opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing within them.
’I did it.’
’Tier Four Body Refining!’
The corners of his lips curved into a smile.
He had successfully achieved Tier Four Body Refining by taking advantage of his realm breakthrough!
At this moment, the strength of Su Ye’s physical body was comparable to that of a Transformed Great Demon.
His vast, ocean-like vitality had reforged his muscles, bones, skin, and internal organs, giving him an increasingly terrifying, inhuman physique!
’With my current body...’
’Taking a bath in lava... probably wouldn’t be a problem, right?’
Su Ye stroked his chin and couldn’t help but smile.
...
’I’ve stepped into the Late-stage Crystal realm.’
’I’ve achieved Tier Four Body Refining, and my combat power has soared!’
’The next step is a new round of expansion into the Far South Continent!’
Su Ye silently calculated in his mind.
The potential gains from expanding into the Far South Continent were substantial!
Experience points, creation points, Divine Seed Nurturing Level, new Divine Seeds, and the leap in cultivation from Refining the Spiritual Spring!
Not to mention conventional rewards like wealth, resources, and spirit lands!
’Now that chaos is about to erupt, the need for strength is even more urgent!’
’Therefore...’
’The war in the Far South Continent is imperative!’
Su Ye had long been preparing for this war.
In the past decade, he had subjugated the Spirit Control Sect and made significant breakthroughs in his cultivation and Body Refining realms.
Meanwhile,
as time passed and he accumulated experience points,
his [Pastor of the Sea] class level had increased by one, reaching Lv. 8!
The attribute increase was secondary.
The most important thing was that the Pastor of the Sea’s exclusive skills upgraded every four levels!
Therefore,
Heart of the Vast Sea and Monarch of Calamity,
these two exclusive skills, had been further enhanced!
And besides that,
over the past seven years, the cooldowns for Su Ye’s five Quasi-Techniques had also finished!
It could be said that the current Su Ye was at the peak of his combat power!
’The advantage is mine!’
With that thought, Su Ye walked out of the Seclusion Chamber.
Outside the protective Array, he saw several Communication Talismans shimmering and interwoven.
He swept his Divine Sense over them, and suddenly,
a peculiar look appeared in his eyes.
’News from the Far South Continent?’
’...Godfall?’
