408 THE BODY REFINNING IN HELL-PLANE, REACHING THE PEAK OF QI KING IN ALL ARTS
Li Meng was practicing on the seventh floor, hence one of the avatars switched places with him as he advanced to the highest floor accessible to the public, the 9th floor. One month on this floor was the reward that Hun Manor granted.
Yin-seed within Li Meng’s body had grown quite well after training for the entire period of the martial competition. The sprouted roots and stems had multiplied into six and seven. Li Meng could feel the energy gathering within his body becoming purer and purer as the Yin-seed grew.
Li Meng has already managed to reach the tenth level of Hell-Forge arts with the Yin seed’s help. Now that they were on the 9th floor, the speed of absorption and growth of the Yin-Seed increased so rapidly that Li Meng was almost unable to control his body and burst because of excess energy influx.
Thankfully, the Keeper came to his rescue and began to actively absorb energy while Li Meng could concentrate on clearing the last stage to reach the peak of Qi King level in Hell-Forge arts. The bones of his body were crushed once again, just to be slowly reformed with the help of pure nether energy released from the Yin Seed. After around one day, the art finally reached its peak.
Li Meng compared himself to his past self and was confident that he would be able to beat the Little Tyrant King in 100 moves less than the last time. The Yin-seed continued to grow and Li Meng asked the Keeper for advice.
“We should keep the body refining part at the end of the month. Concentrate on taking all your Hell-arts to the peak in the meantime. Hell-King art is a special art that is designed for energy training at the Qi King level. He reached the ninth level during his last retreat, but this time he wanted to reach the peak.
It took Li Meng four days within this floor to reach the peak. Except for Li Meng who was carrying the Yin-seed in his body, the rest of the avatars were switching in and out after reaching the peak of both Hell-Forging arts and Hell-King art. The speed at which they cultivated was higher because they didn’t have an active component like the Yin-seed to absorb the Nether energy.
The process was slow, but Long Tao was happy that he was approaching the so-called peak of Qi King in all his art. Once all his energy arts and body refining arts reached their respective peaks, Long Tao decided that it was finally time for him to actively start collecting the energy here. At the same time, he had to see what kind of effect the Nether-Core liquid would have.
The avatar on the 9th floor sat down and put a drop of that liquid on his hands before consuming it. As soon as the liquid entered his body, a rapid change began to take place. The nether-core liquid began to seep through his body and agglomerate the hidden faults and residual waste energy before releasing them out of his body.
.....
It is one of the rare body refining resources like Milk-Dew. The process continued until it passed through every single crevice of the avatar’s body and released it outside. Once it was done, the liquid seemed to disperse and seeped into the avatar’s body combining with the organs. A re-inforcing process began after that.
The avatar’s organs were crushed and re-built until the entire internal body was re-inforced by the Nether-core liquid. It was after that the effect vanished completely. The avatar was shocked to feel the special attribute of the Nether-core liquid. It was finally time to test out a theory he had. He ingested another drop, just to find that the resource just enhanced his energy but the previous effect didn’t repeat itself.
“I guess all my avatars can have a drop except two.” The avatars who came to the nether world managed to reform their bodies with the Nether core liquid. Only three drops remained, and Li Meng was the one who was busy helping the Yin-seed grow.
‘Should we see what effect it has against the Yin-seed? Li Meng ingested a drop, and as soon as the drop entered his body, it rapidly made its way to the Yin Tree. The root extends from the seed and absorbs the drop. The next moment, another set of roots and branches appeared and the entire group seemed to have changed in quality.
The speed at which energy was absorbed increased drastically and so was the quality of energy being released. Li Meng ingested the remaining two drops too and the Yin-seed absorbed them. A similar change occurred and another. Not only did the Yin-seed grow into a complete sapling, but Li meng’s body started to experience some changes too.
The Yin-seed had an inner quality of refining the body of its host. The Keeper informed him about major phases which were extremely similar to meta-morphosis. This was the first Li Meng experienced it while awake. Meta-morphosis began and Li Meng’s body began to change qualitatively.
The process occurred for an entire week before it eventually ended. Li Meng had lost consciousness multiple times, but he managed to experience the change happening inside of him. After the process ended, Li Meng rose from his seat, just to find out how powerful his body had become.
After a series of tests, Li Meng couldn’t help but smile. The test revealed that his strength and quality of energy were enhanced by multiple times, but the most significant change he managed to experience was the complete compatibility with the world. He was able to tap the entire power of all the Chaos laws formed from stealing the energy from the hell plane.
He was confident about beating the Little-Tyrant King with half-the effort as before. There were still some things he had to do. The first one was joining the two forces he had finalized, while the other thing was cultivating the Heavenly Pestle Art of Soul. His soul training was the only thing remaining before he could successfully break into the Qi Emperor realm without worries of there being any kind of hidden faults present.
After the allocated time was over, LI Meng and the avatars exited the tower. Once out, they proceeded towards the respective forces he had decided to join. The rest were busy returning to the same cave they had been practicing in. They were going to access the formation from the same location they came in. The Keeper said it would be better that way.
.....
“How much energy did you manage to collect?” Long Tao asked.
“Enough for you to practice till the peak of Qi Emperor stage. You won’t need to worry about the royal road.”
The avatars were slowly proceeding to the cave when they managed to sport a group of people roaming around its location. For some reason, Long Tao felt uneasy when he saw this.
