Chapter 429: Chapter 6: Power of Time, Nascent Soul Late Period!
There is no doubt, this is the power of the Gods.
It even surpasses Lin Chen’s understanding of a cultivator.
Because even those rumored to have Divinity Transformation, or even Returning Void Cultivators.
Still aren’t ageless or immortal... They are still troubled by their lifespan.
But Lin Chen seems to have temporarily escaped this trouble...
"Nascent Soul cultivators, lifespan of a thousand years... So how long can I live now?"
Lin Chen frowned slightly.
He looked at his reflection in the window, with not a trace of time etched on his face.
Lin Chen still appeared as a youth in his twenties or thirties.
It’s said cultivators have techniques to maintain their looks, staying youthful eternally, but that’s just false.
Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many aged, white-bearded cultivators.
It seems Lin Chen is already in his forties this year.
If accounting for double the time when traversing two realms, he is over seventy years old.
Yet time hasn’t left a single mark...
Lin Chen even felt a peculiar sensation.
His lifespan seems to be much longer than a thousand years.
He wasn’t sure exactly how long...
But thinking about it, it might be tens of thousands of years?
"The power of the Candle Dragon... inherited part of its authority, is the lifespan so lengthy?"
Lin Chen’s mind stirred slightly.
He vaguely had a hypothesis in his heart.
Zhu Jiuyin, the mythical God who controls time.
In deeper terms, the God who governs the river of time!
How could such an existence die of old age?
Therefore, even if Lin Chen only inherited a portion of the Candle Dragon’s authority, he is temporarily not afraid of time.
When his strength further advances, maybe he can completely escape the trouble of lifespan...
Lin Chen murmured.
"Immortality?"
...
The next day, Lin Chen traversed across the Cultivation Realm again and settled himself to cultivate at Grey Stone Island.
After breaking through Martial Emperor, Lin Chen gained new power.
The ability to control the aging and rejuvenation of individual life.
Lin Chen named this power "Power of Time."
Even if he didn’t truly control time, the terrifying might it held still shocked Lin Chen.
Although the Power of Time was extremely powerful, it also consumed Lin Chen quite a bit.
Thus, Lin Chen stayed at Grey Stone Island every day, trying to master the Power of Time.
Initially, Lin Chen began experimenting with spiritual medicines and spirit plants.
He could freely change the age of spiritual medicines in a short time.
Later on, Lin Chen captured some low-tier sea beasts.
Under the power of time, he could freely control the aging and rejuvenation of sea beasts.
After several months of attempts, Lin Chen became increasingly proficient with the Power of Time and began grasping its laws.
Lin Chen found that using the Power of Time on spirit beasts consumed much more than on spirit plants.
Moreover, for beings with higher cultivation and wisdom, the consumption of the Power of Time was even greater.
At first, Lin Chen needed to touch the target to wield the Power of Time.
But as Lin Chen became more adept at handling the Power of Time, he began merging it into techniques.
Lin Chen named this power Time Intent!
...
Until, three months later...
Grey Stone Island, Lin Chen’s mansion.
Lin Chen raised his head to glance at the weather; it was just before dawn.
He had just traversed back to the Cultivation Realm from the High Martial World.
Lin Chen’s mind stirred slightly and activated three arrays, completely isolating Grey Stone Island.
With a wave of his hand, tens of thousands of middle-grade spirit stones scattered throughout the secret room.
Lin Chen activated the Spirit Gathering Array.
"It’s almost time to break through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul..."
Lin Chen calculated slightly in his mind.
His current cultivation was at the peak of mid-stage Nascent Soul, only a step away from late-stage Nascent Soul.
Therefore, Lin Chen planned to attempt breaking through to late-stage Nascent Soul.
But according to Lin Chen’s experience, breaking through to late-stage Nascent Soul might take more than seven days.
To ensure the commotion during the breakthrough wouldn’t be noticed by outsiders, Lin Chen planned to reside in the High Martial World at that moment.
The arrangements on the High Martial World side were ready.
So, it was best to prepare for the breakthrough on Grey Stone Island.
Tens of thousands of middle-grade spirit stones were scattered throughout the room. Lin Chen operated the Evergreen Technique, and the pure spiritual energy from the spirit stones continuously surged into the Dantian.
Strengthening the True Essence and Nascent Soul within his Dantian.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Tens of thousands of middle-grade spirit stones were entirely absorbed, turning to dust.
Lin Chen opened his eyes and frowned slightly, realizing the spiritual energy required to break through to late-stage Nascent Soul was a bit more than he expected.
With a wave of his hand, Lin Chen produced another hundred thousand middle-grade spirit stones.
The spiritual energy continued filling the Dantian.
Four more days passed until Lin Chen’s figure flashed into the cultivation room of the Martial Arts Palace.
The cultivation room was already prepared with spirit stones and spirit liquid.
Lin Chen slightly opened his mouth, taking in pure spirit liquid, which transformed into Magical True Essence.
Following this, he closed his eyes to continue operating the cultivation technique.
Until another three days had passed.
The magical power within Lin Chen’s Dantian finally reached its limit.
"Break!"
With a soft shout, the spiritual energy around Lin Chen suddenly swelled and trembled.
Within the Dantian, the spiritual energy continued to compress.
After successfully breaking through the invisible bottleneck, Lin Chen felt the True Essence Magical Power within him suddenly surge.
As the fluctuation of True Essence gradually subsided, Lin Chen opened his eyes, showing a satisfied expression.
"Late Nascent Soul stage, finally achieved!"
Lin Chen slowly stood up and sensed the Magical Power within him.
Compared to the middle Nascent Soul stage, it had increased by at least fifty percent.
"Tsk tsk, not only has my Magical Power broken through, but my understanding of the world and Divine Sense have also greatly increased..."
"Breaking through to the late Nascent Soul stage has at least added another thirty to fifty percent to my strength."
Lin Chen squinted his eyes, silently calculating in his mind.
It’s safe to say that compared to six years ago during the battle with the Blood Pupil Old Demon, Lin Chen’s current strength has more than doubled.
If he were to battle the Blood Pupil Old Demon again, there would be no need for so many strategies.
In just a quarter of an hour, Lin Chen could kill him.
In other words, Lin Chen’s current strength is at the peak of the Human Realm!
As long as Divinity Transformation and Spirit Realm cultivators don’t descend to the mortal world, Lin Chen has no worry for his life.
"However, caution is still necessary..."
Lin Chen frowned slightly. Though he was confident in his strength, he feared the cultivation of the Demon Monarch Huiyue might have reached the late Divinity Transformation stage.
With Lin Chen’s current strength, he couldn’t yet compete with him.
"It seems I’ll need to remain anonymous for a while longer..."
"Maybe when my Martial Arts Cultivation advances further, I can return to Qing State."
Lin Chen silently thought.
"Master, Senior Sister, Third Senior Brother, Junior Brother... Junior Sister Jiang, Junior Brother Li..."
Even though he deeply missed them, Lin Chen couldn’t wait to learn about the situation in Qing State.
But crossing the vast Endless Sea Domain wasn’t easy.
The next voyage of the Fufeng Clan is five years later.
In five years, their maritime team will return to Qing State, which will be the best time to go back.
"Although the Demon Sect is powerful, the Blood Pupil Old Demon is dead. Master and the others are in Celestial Dao City..."
"They should be safe for a while..."
Thinking of this, Lin Chen felt reassured and focused on consolidating his cultivation.
He still remained on Grey Stone Island, enjoying the salary of the Fufeng Clan.
At the same time, after obtaining resources from the Meteor Islands, cultivation and the Martial Path in Great Xia have made significant advancements.
Thus, in the blink of an eye, several months passed.
...
Until this day.
Martial Arts Palace.
Lin Chen looked at the information in his hand and couldn’t help asking:
"Uncle Wang, is the tenth generation Martial Arts Breathing Technique ready for official implementation?"
Wang Lishan, hearing this, couldn’t help but respond with joy:
"Yes! Fifteen years! It took fifteen full years..."
"A team of over a thousand experts, combined with artificial intelligence database inference, finally completed this version of the Martial Arts Breathing Technique."
"Its efficiency is nearly double that of the ninth generation!"
"Compared to the eighth generation Breathing Technique, it has a cultivation efficiency that is three times greater!"
Wang Lishan showed a look of appreciation in his eyes.
The tenth generation Martial Arts Breathing Technique is undoubtedly the pinnacle of Blue Star Martial Path science.
It gathered the wisdom and efforts of countless predecessors and incorporated Ancient Body Refining Techniques from the High Martial World to finally be completed.
According to experts, even the most inept person, as long as they cultivate the third generation Martial Arts Breathing Technique, can at least step into the Martial Artist Realm.
And the average time to reach Warrior and Martial Master levels is over three times faster.
For instance, originally, ordinary people in the High Martial World needed forty or fifty years to cultivate to a Martial Master.
However, as a martial artist ages, their Qi and Blood deteriorate, making it impossible to break through to Martial Master.
But now, those ordinary people only need to spend twenty years to reach Martial Master, allowing them to break through before their Qi and Blood deteriorate.
The tenth generation Martial Arts Breathing Technique is undoubtedly a major step forward for the martial path in Great Xia and humanity as a whole.
Lin Chen looked at the Breathing Technique in his hand, spent several days reading and learning it thoroughly.
Once he fully mastered this generation of Martial Arts Breathing Technique, he made a significant decision in his mind.
That day, he went to Wang Lishan.
"Uncle Wang, I want to promote the Martial Arts Breathing Technique in the Cultivation Realm..."
Upon hearing this, Wang Lishan wasn’t too surprised.
Lin Chen had proposed this idea several years ago.
But at that time, Lin Chen’s strength was still lacking, and the Martial Arts Breathing Technique was in a critical research phase.
So it was temporarily delayed.
But now, the tenth generation Martial Arts Breathing Technique is fully mature.
In the next several decades, or even a hundred years, there might not be significant changes.
It is the best time to promote it to the Cultivation Realm.
Wang Lishan thought for a moment and then nodded, agreeing:
"Alright, Lin Chen, you now have the strength of a Martial Emperor; whether it’s here or in the Cultivation Realm, you are a top-tier strongman."
"I don’t want to interfere too much; as long as you are confident, it’s good."
He paused for a moment and added:
"Remember, put your own safety first..."
Lin Chen nodded solemnly:
"Don’t worry, Uncle Wang; the expert team has already studied the specific plan."
"I plan to first promote the Martial Arts Breathing Technique within the Meteor Islands, and of course... there will be a good reason for the appearance of the Martial Arts Breathing Technique."
Over the years, when Lin Chen proposed promoting the Martial Arts Breathing Technique to the Cultivation Realm, the country formed an expert team for research, proposing hundreds of plans.
Attempting to clarify the relationship between Lin Chen and the Martial Arts Breathing Technique.
Now the time is ripe, and it’s time to use it.
...
Thus, a week later.
Situ Island.
The news of a large-scale sea relic emergence spread quickly, soon reaching all corners of the Meteor Islands...
