Cultivation Begins with Skill Points-Chapter 259: Dragon Elephant Golden Body Sixth Layer

Zhong Lin once again examined the golden cudgel in his hand. It was also the weapon of that Water Monkey, entirely cast from refined gold, gleaming brightly under the sunlight and emitting a terrifying brilliance.

Weighing a thousand pounds, it was extremely hard, with a faint spiritual charm emanating from it.

This was a Spiritual Artifact, and its material was better than the two Spirit Swords he had obtained.

Zhong Lin was extremely satisfied with this harvest, especially since several Sea Clan corpses lay within the storage bracelet.

They were also valuable, whether used for alchemy or crafting weapons and armor, they were extremely rare spiritual materials.

Especially the three Spirit Embryo Realm sea apes, they had already condensed a Spiritual Body, and their blood and muscle, if directly consumed, could be compared to a Fifth Grade Spirit Pill. Their bones and fur were also extremely tough, usable for casting weapons and making leather armor.

After organizing these items, Zhong Lin sat cross-legged on a meditation mat, holding one Golden Fish Pearl in each hand, palms facing upward, eyes gently closed, with calm mind, sitting in contemplation.

As the Dragon Elephant Golden Body operated, a faint golden light shone from deep within Zhong Lin’s body, illuminating his entire form as if it were the legendary pure glass, unstained and clean.

Under the guidance of Zhong Lin’s mind, a pure energy from the two Golden Fish Pearls flowed into his body through his palms.

The Golden Fish Pearl was the Supreme Treasure Pearl condensed from the body of the ten-thousand-year-old deep-sea Treasure Fish, the golden-threaded dragonfish, which had the effect of strengthening the flesh, enhancing Qi blood, and improving one’s foundation.

These energy currents, like a turbulent sea, surged into his body swiftly, and continued unceasingly, while Zhong Lin’s body accepted this power as if it were a desert greedily absorbing water.

The tremendous power coursed through him like a flood breaking its banks, like the Nine Heavens Galaxy traversing his body, constantly washing over Zhong Lin’s especially strong physique.

Qi-blood was gathering together.

The meridian channels were continuously being tempered and refined.

Such terrifying power seemed to stop for nothing in a short time.

Zhong Lin gritted his teeth, forcibly enduring the overwhelming flow of this power into his body, with just one thought at this moment: to persist with all his might.

Time slowly flowed by, and the veins on Zhong Lin’s body started to become more pronounced.

Then, mysterious patterns resembling dragon scales began to climb up Zhong Lin’s body, covering his arms, limbs, and even his neck in mere moments.

Appeared both mysterious and eerie.

The prominent veins, now, much like dragon veins, exuded a powerful beauty.

The Dragon Elephant Golden Body was a martial art of physical body meant to simulate Dragon Elephant Strength, focusing not only on power but also defense.

The scales-like patterns on Zhong Lin’s body were the ultimate manifestation.

The energy infusing from the Golden Fish Pearls continued, and the absorption was getting increasingly fierce.

The qi-blood throughout Zhong Lin’s body was surging and boiling at this moment, a hint of a dragon’s roar subtly resonating in his chest and abdomen.

A faint dragon power began to spread out in all directions as the dragon patterns climbed higher.

Zhong Lin clenched his fists tightly as the dragon patterns grew more apparent, and at this moment, it was as if real scale armor had grown on him.

It seemed the Dragon Elephant Golden Body not only enhanced his physical body but was gradually evolving it in an unknown, yet positive, direction.

With the spiritual origin’s washing, the meridian channels were becoming tougher, and the qi-blood was swelling increasingly under the power of the Golden Fish Pearls, as acupoints around also underwent constant transformations.

The tendons were progressively transforming towards dragon veins, and the dragon roar in the chest and abdomen became increasingly terrifying, so much that it collapsed the surrounding chamber stones into dust with its fierce rumble.

Cultivation considered without regard to time, a breakthrough made Zhong Lin completely oblivious to the passage of time.

Whether it was a quarter-hour or an entire hour, Zhong Lin was too occupied to care.

When Zhong Lin slowly opened his eyes, two golden beams shot out from his pupils, like a blazing sun in the sky, hard for one to look at directly.

Exhaling a breath of turbid air, once he gathered his spirit and calmed his mind entirely, he only felt unprecedentedly comfortable all over, as if he had been soaking in a hot spring for a long time, all pores deeply open.

With each breath, he seemed to merge with heaven and earth, completely transparent.

The two Golden Fish Pearls in Zhong Lin’s hands had completely disappeared, their energy devoured entirely.

Raising his right arm, Zhong Lin exerted and suddenly blasted out a punch, his organs rumbled instantly, dragon roars echoed, and the qi-blood throughout his body boiled continuously, seemingly harboring endless power.

Boom!

Roar!

With the punch, the air shook violently, the powerful punch directly creating a vacuum, where the surrounding chamber stones were annihilated, vanishing within it.

Though seemingly nothing occurred, no spiritual origin gathered, the strength of this punch wasn’t exerted using Zhong Lin’s full power, rather purely his bodily strength.

If infused with spiritual origin power, one could imagine the formidable force of this punch.

Fortunately, Zhong Lin restrained his strength, lest not just this chamber but the entire Fire Cloud Palace, even the whole mountain, would turn to ruins under this punch.

Zhong Lin now felt as though the power of qi-blood within his entire body was like a great furnace, making him terrifying like a Mutant Beast.

Moreover, in the instant of that punch, Zhong Lin sensed seemingly slight changes within himself.

Previously, only dragon scale-like patterns appeared on his body, but now, upon tearing open his robes and looking, when his qi-blood surged, a True Dragon imprint manifested conspicuously on his body.

Dragon scales, dragon head, dragon whiskers...vividly depicted.

He seemed to truly carry a True Dragon on his back.

Previously, it was said the Dragon Elephant Golden Body simulated Dragon Elephant Strength, with progressively deeper cultivation, a real dragon power could indeed be condensed within the body.

The dragon is the chief of all spirits, a divine being by nature, and in the face of dragon power, any living being’s strength would be diminished by three-tenths, intimidated before the battle begins.

"Will this Dragon Elephant Golden Body eventually truly summon a dragon?"

Zhong Lin pondered, the full-level experience granted by the system lacked such information.

"With a strength of 320,000 pounds, facing a Spirit Embryo Realm martial artist should now be easily suppressible. As for the Yunling Realm..."

Zhong Lin shook his head directly at this thought, scattering the pride from his breakthrough in his mind.

"The power of a Yunling Realm martial artist lies in soul attack. Unless one can practice Dragon Elephant Golden Body to the Eighth Layer, condensing ’Dragon Elephant Spirit,’ which can protect the divine soul with dragon elephant strength, otherwise, one could only falter when facing a Yunling Realm martial artist."

Spirit attacks are unique to Yunling Realm martial artists, unless there are means to protect the divine soul or have a spiritual artifact, otherwise, only martial artists of the same level can oppose them.

Eyes slightly closed, sensing the power of the Seven Luminaries Heart Lamp within his dantian, a thought stirred his heart, flames splashed everywhere, as bone-scraping sword qi instantaneously traversed through his body.

Compared to before, Zhong Lin’s current physical body was more capable of enduring the burning of the Seven Luminaries Heart Lamp’s power.

As the Heart Lamp’s power circulated, a trace of black smoke darted out from the pores, and with its dispersion, Zhong Lin felt even more relaxed, as if a thousand-pound shackle had been removed.
