Alchemy Emperor of the Divine Dao

Chapter 4655: Spirit Devouring Physique

However, everyone had heard very clearly that the longer they stayed here, the more benefits they would obtain. Thus, everyone was gritting their teeth and holding on.

Of course, Ling Han was completely unperturbed. As someone who possessed the battle prowess of a high-level Saint, would he take such a small token to heart?

He merely sat quietly.

This was a very good opportunity for him to shine and gain the notice of the Martial Hall, becoming a stepping stone for him to enter into the inner ranks of the Buddhist Race.

Otherwise, how long would it take for him to rise up step by step and gain the notice of the Buddhist Race?

He didn’t have much time. Thus, though rising too quickly would definitely be risky, Ling Han couldn’t care less.

Merely half an hour later, therewas one that could no longer bear it, and crawled out, screaming in pain.

There were already people from the Martial Hall standing guard at the side, and they immediately carried this person out for treatment.

—They would gain benefits here, but they would also be burned by the hot water.

In truth, this was the method to force out the potential of life to improve one’s physique, paving a wide path for one’s future cultivation.

Hence, the length of time one stayed here was not determined by the height of aptitude, but rather the toughness of one’s willpower.

After two hours, there were only nine youths left in the pool.

Three hours later, there were only seven left.

Five hours later, there were only six left.

Six hours later, only Ling Han and Zhao Jian were left.

Aside from his head, Zhao Jian’s whole person was buried in the water. The more area that came into contact with the pool waters, the greater the benefits he would receive. If it was not for the fact that he still had to breathe, and the organs on his face were more important, he would definitely bury his face in as well.

However, after enduring for six hours, his entire body was trembling, and the muscles on his face were also trembling.

He couldn’t hold on any longer.

However, a powerful willpower was supporting him, and that was Ling Han, who was not far away.

He couldn’t lose. He could lose to anyone, but he definitely couldn’t lose to Ling Han!

With this willpower, he actually managed to endure it.

Eight hours, ten hours, fourteen hours… When the two of them had endured until twenty hours, a great many people in the Martial Hall were alerted, and came over to take a look.

“Goodness, twenty hours!”

“Aside from that Lord, there hasn’t been anyone else that could last for more than a day. Could it be that two miracles are going to appear at the same time?”

“Yes, it can’t compare to that Lord. However, being able to last for a day is already extremely shocking.”

Everyone whispered among themselves, discussing in low voices.

Only now did Zhao Jian know what kind of results he had achieved.

This was already incredibly shocking, but how could he lose to “Zhang Hanjun”?

Hold on, he definitely had to hold on.

One hour, another hour, and finally, a day and night had passed.

Zhao Jian was still holding on, which surprised even Ling Han. This should have long since surpassed the other’s limits, but under the belief that he would not admit defeat, this young man actually managed to hold on. It was really not easy.

However, no matter how much he persevered, there was ultimately a limit. Willpower could not last forever.

After a whole day, Zhao Jian soon passed out.

Before passing out, he had even glanced at Ling Han, his eyes filled with resentment.

—Why haven’t you collapsed yet?

Everyone was flustered, and hurriedly carried Zhao Jian out.

And now, Ling Han was the only person left.

One day, another three hours, another five hours, another eight hours.

This time, even the Master of the Martial Hall had arrived. Could it be that this would catch up to the record of that Lord?

One day passed, and eleven hours later.

“Heavens!”

“There is only an hour left, and he would have caught up to that Lord.”

“Hiss, that Lord has cultivated to become a Sect Master!”

Everyone was numb with shock. Even if Ling Han couldn’t hold on any longer and retreated, he was still infinitesimally close to that Lord. His future prospects were boundless.

Another hour passed.

He had caught up!

Everyone was dumbfounded, and felt their minds go completely blank.

Most importantly, Ling Han was still in the pool waters. He didn’t look like he was about to come out at all.

Heavens, was this guy going to surpass the gods?

With a thought from Ling Han, his aura instantly soared explosively.

For him, this was a negligible improvement, but for the Meridian Opening Tier that he seemed to be, it was a super great leap.

Blood Transformation Tier!

“F***!”

“Heavens!”

“He has broken through!”

Everyone was grabbing their heads and exclaiming in shock, all of them looking like they had seen a ghost.

Others could only persevere in the pool waters, but what about Ling Han? He had directly increased his cultivation by a whole cultivation level!

Was there such a freak?

“Hiss, I’ve heard that there’s a kind of physique. It can absorb all kinds of energy and transform it into one’s mystical power.”

“I’ve also heard of it. This is called Spirit Devouring Physique!”

“Before the Spirit Transformation Tier, as long as there is enough energy to support it, this kind of physique would not have any bottleneck in cultivating at all, and would be able to realize the leap in cultivation level in a short period of time.”

“That’s right. If it was not for the fact that one has to start from the Spirit Transformation Tier and comprehend Regulations, this kind of physique would be able to soar all the way to the level of Great Emperor.”

Someone was making wild guesses, causing the others to agree one after another. Their words were very logical.

Ling Han listened carefully. Since they had all helped him come up with a reason, there was no need for him to hide anything.

Come on then!

He absorbed the energy in the pool waters. This couldn’t be converted into cultivation, but it didn’t matter. He only had to make it meet the criteria of “Spirit Devouring Physique”.

“Yi, I can clearly feel that the energy is continuously gathering with him as the core.”

“Why didn’t I sense it before?”

“Idiot, previously, he was a Meridian Opening Tier, and now he’s a Blood Transformation Tier. The intensity of the energy surge has increased!”

“Oh, that’s right.”

These people had found their own “reason”, and there was absolutely no need for Ling Han to give them an explanation.

Very good, then continue.

Ling Han controlled himself, causing his cultivation level to rise steadily.

“Blood and Qi boiling!”

“Condensed Blood Pillar!”

“Condensed Blood Beast!”

“…”

“Blood Qi Condensation Emperor!”

Hong, a powerful fluctuation flashed over Ling Han’s body. He took another step forwards, and stepped into Extreme Bone Tier.

This!

Everyone was extremely envious. This kind of physique was really too awesome. As long as one had enough cultivation resources, he could completely ignore the barrier of cultivation level, and soar all the way to the peak stage of the True Self Tier.

“Humph, if cultivation level advances too quickly, and there is not enough stabilization of cultivation level, even if he reaches the peak stage of the True Self Tier in a short period of time, it would be as difficult as ascending the heavens to take another step forward.” There would always be people who would be jealous, and make cynical remarks.

“Hehe, if I can reach the True Self Tier, even if I can’t advance a single step further for the rest of my life, I’m willing!”

“En!”

Many people nodded in agreement. One had to realize that the strongest elite in the Fortune Dragon City was only True Self Tier.

For them, easily becoming the elites of the highest level, what was there to be dissatisfied about?

Ling Han continued to perform the “miracle”. On the ninth day after entering the pool, he successfully broke through to the Inscription Tier, and then directly reached the Enlightenment Tier. Finally, he stopped.

It couldn’t be helped. The energy in this hot spring had already been exhausted, so Ling Han couldn’t break through for no reason, right?
