Chapter 202: Mid Earthly Core Realm
I see.
Yang Lingqing was still an innocent girl, so she could only mumble incoherently when she spoke about the taboo topic. Once Long Chen understood what she meant, he sighed in relief. Thats interesting. He was so happy that he burst into laughter, but doing so strained his wounds, so he grimaced in pain.
After giving her a few reminders, he knew it was time to go. He had to make adequate preparations for the Azure Dragon Halberd tournament.
Beitang Mos attack was deeply etched into his memory. One day, he would get revenge. But first, the most pressing matter was defeating Dongfang Tianyu for the Azure Dragon Halberd.
Yin Mengyao had been cultivating very hard these few days, so he didnt tell her about Yang Lingqing.
After consuming two consecutive stalks of advanced Black-tier spiritual medicine from Dongfang Xuanxiao, Long Chens injuries were mostly healed after three days.
Yin Mengyao had shut herself away to focus on cultivating, so she didnt know that he had been injured.
But this was much less trouble for him.
His Recovery technique allowed him to treat his injuries at every moment, so he healed much faster than other people. Although Dongfang Xuanxiao knew that he had a Life Combat Technique, he didnt ask questions.
On the fourth morning, Long Chen went to see Dongfang Xuanxiao and said, Stepfather, I have reached a bottleneck in my cultivation. I want to go to the Star Devil Prison again; I have a feeling that I can break through to the mid Earthly Core Realm this time!
Oh? This was good news for Dongfang Xuanxiao. He knew that the Life Combat Technique had contributed greatly to Long Chens rapid recovery.
He had great expectations for Long Chen, so he was overjoyed to hear that he was nearing a breakthrough. He quickly took him to the Heavenly Martial Realm, and they arrived at the Star Devil Prisons entrance once more.
After greeting Yan Honghai, Long Chen entered alone, no longer needing a guide. He soon arrived in front of the two thick chains. Mo Xiaolang is in that direction. Long Chen looked at the chain on the left, then he looked up far away. There were five large stars in that direction. He knew that the faint green one was the Azure Dragon Star, where Mo Xiaolang was trapped.
I need to hurry up and start cultivating. I need to break through as quickly as possible. Long Chen stepped on the chain on the right and hurried along within the empty space. After an hour, he arrived at a fork amidst the infinite vastness of space. Five times gravity Ten times gravity Twenty Thirty Fifty Long Chen mulled over which asteroid to pick as he read the labels.
Last time, I could move easily under twenty times gravity. The largest number here is one hundred times, and I think only Heavenly Core Realm cultivators can enter. Lets enter the second asteroid with fifty times gravity!
Fifty times gravity meant that Long Chens bones and muscles would have to withstand seven tons of force. A regular person would be squashed to death immediately. This is still acceptable to me. The stronger the gravity, the better it suits me. There arent many days left. I must achieve a breakthrough, or I wont have another chance.
Long Chen stopped hesitating and decided to go towards the fifty times gravity asteroid.
When he approached the seven-hundred-meter diameter asteroid, he was sucked in by its gravity, crashing onto it.
Slam!
Long Chen felt his wind get knocked out. Having only just recovered from his injuries, it was extremely painful, and he felt his muscles go taut and his blood flow obstructed. He lay on his stomach on the ground, unable to move. Very good, this is powerful. Long Chen was very satisfied with the gravitational pull. He let out a roar, then he gritted his teeth and pressed his palms on the ground made of yellow soil, doing his best to push himself up. Green veins popped from his arms like tiny, green snakes circling his arms and neck.
Fuck me! he cursed. The gravitational pull was too strong. He was already drenched in sweat. After working hard for about fifteen minutes, all he managed to do was push himself up. However, his body was being greatly trained in the process. My next target: to sit up! As long as he could sit up, he could control his Qi flow!
Under the influence of the terrifying gravitational pull, he clenched his teeth to do something he had accomplished not long after he was born: sit up!
An hour later, he was soaked in sweat, panting heavily. But he had succeeded in sitting up and got into position. Next, I should control my Qi flow to train it.
Under the influence of the fifty times gravity, controlling his Qi flow was extremely difficult. He exhausted a hundred times more strength than usual to barely move his Qi. It felt like dragging an elephant without the strength of a cultivator.
It was that difficult.
However, he knew that he had to hold on so he could break through to the mid Earthly Core Realm within a short time. The growth process would be even more complete than using Blood Transmutation. Although Ling Xi had said that he was still weak and didnt have to worry about his foundation, Long Chen knew that he had to be cautious about using Blood Transmutation too often. Growth earned through tough training like this was definitely the best to progress!
Time passed slowly through his bitter cultivation. The time taken for him to move his Qi one cycle through his body slowly shortened, and five days later, the time taken went from one day to one hour. After five days of training, my Qi has condensed, and it merges much better with the Blazing Thunder Power. This has made my Qi tougher. The breakthrough is close!
I must hold on!
During these few days, whenever Long Chen thought about Yang Lingqing, then about Ling Xi, who still needed his help, a powerful force would fill his heart. He knew that a true man had to constantly improve to protect his loved ones, and defeat those who wanted to kill him!
Another half a day passed. When he controlled his Qi, the difficulty was the same as when he was on the twenty times gravity asteroid! Its time! When his Qi poured into his dantian for the last time, they merged at lightning speed! The blood-red mist slowly solidified into a blood-red Earthly Core!
This process took a very short time. Soon, he let out a roar, and the surging Qi in him shot out of his mouth, turning into a plume of blood-red mist around his mouth!
The Earthly Core within his dantian shrank greatly, becoming much more condensed than before, even much stronger! Mid Earthly Core Realm, success! Sensing the surging Qi within him, Long Chen knew that he was now almost on the same level as Dongfang Tianyu in terms of Qi!
With the precondition that he used his Dragon Soul Transformation!
Power was flowing through his entire body. He tried to stand on the fifty times gravity asteroid and realized that it wasnt that difficult. It felt just like how he previously felt in twenty times gravity. If Nangong Cheng could come here, he would be able to fight him and use the Nine Dragon Flashes once more! It feels good to be stronger! He was now more confident about winning the Azure Dragon Halberd tournament. This was related to Mo Xiaolang, so he absolutely had to succeed!
There should be three more days until the tournament. Ill spend the next two days completing the Nine Dragon Flashes in fifty times gravity! Xuanxiao can achieve the ninth flash, so why cant I?
In the face of such huge pressure, he did not slack off even for a little. He started cultivating the Nine Dragon Flashes immediately after his breakthrough. To his surprise, his comprehension of the Nine Dragon Flashes deepened thanks to the influence of fifty times gravity. If I continue progressing like this, the ninth flash will not be a problem!
Long Chen had learned that martial techniques werent so easily cultivated. Even he was considered quite talented already, and his progress with cultivating the Nine Dragon Flashes was much faster than when Dongfang Xuanxiao first started.
Two days later, he completed the ninth flash, fully mastering the Nine Dragon Flashes. He would now be able to incorporate it into every battle with ease. Its time to go back and give them a surprise. Long Chen straightened himself, then he made his way back. When he returned to the Transit Hall, he looked in the direction of the Azure Dragon Star and said, The next time Im here, I should be rescuing you.
For some reason, Long Chen felt like Mo Xiaolang was the kind of person who would fight alongside him for the rest of his life, being his right hand.
Once he emerged from Star Devil Prison, Yan Honghai approached and said, Young Master Long Chen, Lord Xuanxiao has been here for two days. Hes waiting for you there.
Long Chen nodded and went towards Dongfang Xuanxiao.
Why does Young Master Long Chen seem different? asked Yan Honghai in surprise, watching him leave.
He has undergone a metamorphosis, mumbled another guard.
Stepfather, Long Chen greeted when he arrived at Dongfang Xuanxiaos side. Dongfang Xuanxiao was currently meditating with his eyes closed.
Have you succeeded? His eyes sprang open.
Mhm.
Lets go back and see how you perform. Standing up, Dongfang Xuanxiao eyed him for a while. He knew that Long Chen had undergone a metamorphosis after experiencing Yang Lingqings incident. He looked more like a man with responsibilities, not a green teenager.
And just like that, they started heading back.
Xiaolang, wait for me, thought Long Chen, looking back.
Dongfang Xuanxiao was also staring in the direction of the Star Devil Prison, silently deep in thought.
Long Chen didnt know why. Unless Does he also have a friend imprisoned inside?
His imagination ran wild.
