Chapter 179: Chapter 123: Major Cultivation Breakthrough, Disciples Return to the Fold

Chen Ping opened his eyes, a gleam flickering, forcibly controlling the excitement in his heart.

The first thing he did was to look at his Spring and Autumn Silkworm attribute panel.

[Spring and Autumn Silkworm (Second Transformation)]

[Talent: Trace Origin and Steal Fortune, Cocoon Rebirth]

[Innate Talent: 7 (Fairly Potential)]

[Enlightenment: 9 (Fairly Potential)]

[Tribulation: 58 (Breaking Realm)]

[Fortune: 22 (Change Destiny)]

[Cultivation Technique: Wandering Body Bagua Palm (Perfection), Spring Leg (Perfection), Seven Stars Step (Mastery), Swallow Returning Butterfly Dance (Mastery), Silk Thread Puppetry (Perfection), Primordial Technique (Silver Body: Entry), Clear Wind Shadowless Sword (Perfection), Sunset Divine Arrow (Perfection), Great Sun Scorching Sun Skill (Entry), Celestial Heart Bright Moon Sword (Mastery), Seven-Star Sword (Great Success), Sword Gang Stream (Entry)]

[Body Refining: Tier Three (Opening Three Bright Acupoints)]

[Qi Refining: Tier Two (Qi Cultivation) 97%]

...

Nothing much to say about the Tribulation Points; with several battles in not so perilous situations, the gains were not substantial.

As for Fortune Points, after consuming 20 points to activate the talent "Trace Origin and Steal Fortune," there are now only 22 points left, not enough to enhance enlightenment.

This is quite a sad topic.

Enlightenment at the level of 9, requires as many as 40 points to be enhanced further, estimably moving from [Fairly Potential] to [Dragon and Phoenix in the Human World] level, which clearly marks the difference between a little genius and a big genius, thus justification for increased consumption.

The Seven-Star Sword and Sword Gang Stream, these two martial arts are what Gao Yue from Changkong Martial Arts Hall and others strived for all their lives, possessing a very high upper limit in a certain sense.

However, the most urgent task right now is not to rush their enhancement...

The Tribulation Points are slightly insufficient, better boost the Body Refining Root Technique first.

With a solid foundation, all skills will rise significantly; this, Chen Ping has always understood.

The turbulent Jianghu, wanting to gain a foothold, to stand out as quickly as possible, or obtaining the skill for self-preservation.

There must be something that surpasses others slightly.

While compensating for one’s shortcomings without fatal flaws...

More importantly, it is about emphasizing one’s strengths, strengthening them further.

The saying "a unique move conquers all walks" is the principle behind this.

Otherwise, merely being mediocre in everything implies no competitiveness.

Chen Ping deeply knows that his strength lies in these peculiar powers.

Not knowing how the [True Dragon Blood] operates in his body in some strange way, his bloodline might have undergone some change.

His strength and constitution have increased threefold compared to ordinary people.

Under such circumstances, not committing oneself to Body Refining and instead dispersing energy towards Qi Refining signifies poor decision-making.

Therefore, the priority is to elevate the Primordial Gold Technique, to refine Qi and Blood first.

Upon reaching the Silver Body Realm through the Primordial Golden Body Technique, the cultivation difficulty has not escalated once more for him, as Chen Ping calms himself and moves his thoughts.

"Silver Body Realm, elevate."

From proficiency to mastery, from mastery to great success, breaking three barriers consecutively.

A total of 48 Tribulation Points surge and burn.

A grand force emerges from who knows where, heading to unknown places.

He only feels Qi and Blood on his body rumbling like the mighty rivers flowing torrentially within him.

His muscles and bones tremble, reshaping as if melting...

His flesh grows layers of keratin, beginning to shed and transform.

After doing this several times, they become tougher and more flexible, slightly emitting a silver glow.

The greatest change is in his viscera.

In the mystical atmosphere, seeing five-colored brilliance intertwined, following some natural rules, slowly becoming stronger.

His heart beats more forcefully, blood flows clearly and heavily, containing more energy.

Even its color has slightly changed, with specks of silver light flickering within.

His movements now carry great power.

Like being reborn.

’It turns out, achieving great success in Internal Cultivation with the Primordial Golden Body Technique carries significance. It requires refining all the blood throughout the body... Starting from this step, it’s genuinely transitioning from mortal to extraordinary, obtaining peculiar abilities.’

’Perhaps, during the Blood Exchange phase, my entire blood will transform from red to gold, truly becoming a mythical creature as spoken of in legends.’

Chen Ping doesn’t fully grasp the true essence of cultivation now.

But he’s mostly clarified the path of his Qi Blood Martial Arts Body Refining.

Actually, it starts with practicing flesh muscles and bones, then from outside to inside, cultivating the viscera, marrow, and blood.

Transforming the entire body from head to toe, from inside to outside.

Towards blending with Heaven and Earth, aligning with nature, close to vitality, resilient and indestructible.

Transformation is the process; longevity is the goal, all the extraordinary phenomena like strength, speed, reflexes getting enhanced, turning impossible into possible, are supplementary developments.

Once the body is fundamentally enhanced, practice martial arts that capitalize on this strong foundation, known as the legendary skills in protecting one’s Dao.

’In body refining, since it’s about transcending oneself, aligning the physical body with nature, being close to Heaven and Earth to attain transcendence. What about the path of Qi Refining?’

Chen Ping roughly understands, it involves using inner qi to perceive Heaven and Earth primordial qi... Human body qi is limited, Heaven and Earth primordial qi is infinite, Heaven-Human sensing, using qi as a guide, allows one’s own transformation.

These two paths eventually lead to the same destination.

Only differing somewhat initially.

After achieving great success in Silver Body Realm through Primordial Technique, Chen Ping’s gains did not stop there.

Besides the Three Acupoints of the Human Palace near the Middle Dantian already being opened, now, two of the Earth Palace Three Acupoints near the Qi Blood Lower Dantian have been opened, activating the Life Gate and tailbone.
