Free Web NovelChapter 1325: Chapter 1311: Skin Renewal, Rolling on the Nail Board
Yang Xiao now possesses emperor-level realm’s genetic evolution energy, making cultivation of these genetic evolution techniques much easier and faster than before.
The cultivation of marrow cleansing took only about ten days. Utilizing the energy of the cleansing technique, Yang Xiao opened up all the skin, muscles, bones, veins, and internal organs, achieving a genetic cleansing and purification once again, boosting the potential of genetic evolution.
This time, upon completion of cultivation, Yang Xiao’s four genetic attributes each increased by five points, which surprised him greatly.
Because in all the past cultivation processes, there has never been a record of increasing four attributes by 5 points simultaneously.
Gu Bo was stunned to learn that Yang Xiao completed the marrow cleansing in ten days.
"Yang Xiao, you surely are a prodigy. I took about half a year to start cultivating this Heavenly Dragon Divine Skill after breaking through the emperor level realm. Though you’ve previously cultivated the first three stages, completing the marrow cleansing in just ten days is still unbelievable!"
Yang Xiao said with a smile,
"The first three segments of the Heavenly Dragon Divine Skill are tough, especially the bone forging. You break every inch of your bones and then operate the technique to repair them. That pain is extraordinarily piercing. Although the marrow cleansing technique is miraculous, it doesn’t hurt as much."
"Alright, Yang Xiao, next you’ll be cultivating the White Elephant Divine Skill and see how long it takes you to pass through it."
Yang Xiao locked himself in the room alone, beginning his cultivation of the White Elephant Divine Skill.
Opening the black jade box of the White Elephant Divine Skill, he took out a black jade pendant and gently activated it with genetic evolution energy, sending a stream of light into his body.
A beam of light entered Yang Xiao’s consciousness; it was the secret technique manual of the White Elephant Divine Skill.
Yang Xiao read it carefully three times, understanding the general situation of the White Elephant Divine Skill, and then picked up a black jade white elephant sculpture from the black jade box.
With a gentle grip in his hand, a beam of light entered his body.
Looking intently, he saw above the spiritual power sea within him, a white elephant suspended.
At this moment, above Yang Xiao’s spiritual power sea, three divine beasts suspended: the white elephant, flying leopard, and heavenly dragon, each emitting a faint golden light.
Yang Xiao wondered,
What is going on?
Why does each of these techniques have a divine beast entering the body?
Furthermore, do Gu Bo and others have divine beasts entering their bodies during cultivation?
What role do these divine beasts play?
The flying leopard divine beast used to release a refreshing breath within the body, helping Yang Xiao control the burning sensation during Flying Leopard Divine Skill cultivation.
However, the heavenly dragon divine beast seems not to provide such features?
As Yang Xiao thought about this, his mind suddenly brightened,
The first three stages of Heavenly Dragon Divine Skill cultivation, particularly bone forging, are incredibly painful. If there had been a heavenly dragon divine beast stationed within the spiritual power sea, would it have released a mysterious power to alleviate the cultivation pain?
The first stage of White Elephant Divine Skill cultivation is called Skin Renewal.
The skin renewal cultivation resembles the body refinement in the Heavenly Dragon Divine Skill, primarily enhancing external skin appearance, requiring the cultivator to roll 360 degrees over a dense bed of spikes without the protection of genetic evolution techniques.
"Damn, it’s inhuman!"
Yang Xiao cursed.
When he saw the bed of spikes brought by Gu Bo, he was filled with coldness, even suspecting that Gu Bo planned to take advantage of the situation to kill him.
The bed of spikes was filled with shiny, sharp spikes, each twenty centimeters tall.
These sharp spikes can easily pierce through a body.
A two-meter wide, two-meter long bed of spikes, densely populated with spikes, radiated a cold gleam that made Yang Xiao’s scalp tingle and his heart chill.
"This bizarre cultivation method is just short of being fried in a hot frying pan."
Yang Xiao stood naked in the dedicated cultivation room, looked at the cold gleaming bed of spikes hesitantly.
The cultivation demanded no use of genetic evolution energy or techniques, just naturally falling onto it in the state of an ordinary person, rolling one round, allowing the skin to be pierced by dense spikes.
After rolling over the bed of spikes, he can immediately operate the White Elephant Divine Skill to heal and aide in skin repair.
Yang Xiao stood before the bed of spikes, hesitating again and again, gritted his teeth, and fell onto it.
"Ah!"
A piercing scream echoed through the Heavenly Book Pavilion.
The white-haired old man reading on the first floor was startled by Yang Xiao’s scream, listened for a while, chuckled lightly, shook his head, and continued reading.
In an instant, Yang Xiao felt his back, buttocks, and thighs all pierced by tens of thousands of tiny holes, the pain was excruciating.
However, Yang Xiao was surprised to find that because the spikes were very dense, he didn’t get deeply pierced, as all the spikes together supported his body.
Yang Xiao was in so much pain that he shed tears, gritting his teeth, rolled one round, then fell off the bed of spikes onto the ground, his entire body pierced, tens of thousands of tiny blood holes oozing blood, making him look like a blood-soaked person, feeling piercing pain all over.
Unable to use any genetic evolution techniques for protection, Yang Xiao was in so much pain he almost fainted.
Attempting to sit up and operate the White Elephant Divine Skill was extremely difficult.
Suddenly, a warm current rose from the spiritual power sea, injecting a surge of energy within Yang Xiao.
Yang Xiao flipped over, stood up, urgently operated the first-stage skill of the White Elephant Divine Skill, guiding a warm current through every inch of his skin.
Wherever the warm current went, the pain significantly diminished.
According to cultivation requirements, Yang Xiao operated the White Elephant Divine Skill three times, and over an hour later, all pain completely disappeared.
Yang Xiao looked down at his body; all the previously pierced skin had completely healed, each blood hole topped with a scab.
Yang Xiao gently shook his body, all the scabs fell off, and his skin was as smooth as ever. Having previously completed the Flying Leopard Divine Skill and Heavenly Dragon Divine Skill cultivation, his skin was jade-smooth, now even smoother than before.
"Damn, this technique is too peculiar!"
Of course, Yang Xiao had long experienced the harshness of bone forging in the Heavenly Dragon Divine Skill and the brutality of herbal bath in the Flying Leopard Divine Skill, so he wasn’t too surprised by the skin renewal cultivation method of the White Elephant Divine Skill.
According to the explanation of skin renewal cultivation, normally, this stage takes at least three years, but, Yang Xiao is already at the emperor-level realm, given he experienced the cultivation of the Heavenly Dragon Divine Skill and Flying Leopard Divine Skill, his skin and bones long reached extraordinary realms.
Now cultivating the White Elephant Divine Skill’s skin renewal, the effect naturally surpasses ordinary cultivators a hundredfold.
Ten days later, Yang Xiao rolled over the bed of spikes with the skin renewal technique of the White Elephant Divine Skill, and as his body rolled, the pierced skin immediately healed, becoming even smoother.
Now rolling on the bed of spikes for Yang Xiao is like polishing his skin, which becomes smoother with each roll.
Yang Xiao couldn’t help but think of the Xuanming Country people on Earth using the "skin smoothing" miracle in beauty apps, where a sixty-year-old lady could appear as smooth and youthful as an eighteen-year-old girl in photos.
