Lying Low in the Martial World to Become a Saint

Chapter 440: Chapter 198: Primordial

He first went to the Cyan Wood Institute’s Transmission Square.

On the square, dozens of disciples were cultivating, their Qi and Blood surging with youthful vigor.

Upon seeing Chen Qing arrive, the disciples all stopped their movements and bowed respectfully. "Chief Senior Brother!"

Chen Qing gave a slight nod, his gaze sweeping over the grounds. He casually pointed out the flaws in the moves of several disciples.

Now that he had reached the Astral Force Realm, his eye for detail was extraordinary. A single word from him would often strike at the heart of the matter, leading the disciples he instructed to a sudden realization.

Seeing this, the other disciples perked up their ears, afraid they might miss a single word.

Chen Qing did not stay long. After offering a few simple pointers and encouraging them all to cultivate diligently, he returned to his small courtyard.

Within the Quiet Chamber, all the clamor of the outside world was shut out.

Chen Qing sat cross-legged on a cushion and took out the Blood Dominator Pill he had received as compensation from the Earth Element Sect.

The Elixir was crimson like blood, its surface marked with natural, cloud-like patterns. The moment it was removed from the Jade Box, a scorching and majestic aura filled the air, seeming to raise the temperature in the Quiet Chamber by several degrees. The faint, otherworldly roar of surging Qi and Blood could be heard.

’The Earth Element Sect’s secret Blood Dominator Pill truly lives up to its reputation!’

A sharp glint flashed in Chen Qing’s eyes. No longer hesitating, he tilted his head back and swallowed the Blood Dominator Pill.

Once in his abdomen, the Elixir did not dissolve immediately. Instead, like a searing ball of fire, it sank into his Dantian Sea of Qi.

The next moment, BOOM!

As if a volcano had erupted, an unimaginably scorching torrent exploded outwards!

It was not pure True Astral energy, but the most refined and feral life Essence Qi and Qi Blood Power. Like a river bursting its banks, like a primordial behemoth slipping its leash, it instantly surged toward Chen Qing’s every limb and bone, every inch of his meridians, every single acupoint!

Even with his current Astral Force Cultivation and a physique tempered through numerous refinements, Chen Qing could not help but let out a muffled groan.

His skin instantly turned crimson, like a boiled shrimp. The pores all over his body dilated, spewing wisps of scorching white vapor. He felt as if he were being roasted over a fire.

Excruciating pain!

A tearing pain assailed him from every part of his body. The energy was so violent it felt like it would inflate and rip apart every fiber of his being.

Chen Qing dared not be complacent. He immediately focused his Heart and Spirit and began to circulate the Eight Extremes Vajra Body Technique with all his might.

HUMMM!

The Qi and Blood inside his body began to circulate with frantic, unprecedented speed.

His muscles and bones hummed in unison, like a taut bowstring, while his blood surged like a mighty river.

The majestic Essence of Qi and Blood from the Blood Dominator Pill was greedily absorbed and transformed.

CRACK, CRACK...

Faint sounds issued from deep within his body. His bones were growing denser and tougher.

His muscle fibers tore again and again, only to be instantly reconstructed by the nourishment of the boundless Qi and Blood, becoming stronger and more explosive.

Beneath his skin, a faint golden luster swirled, and his defensive capabilities increased imperceptibly.

Chen Qing’s Heart and Spirit sank completely into his body, guiding the ferocious energy to surge through his every corner.

In his mind, on a translucent panel, the proficiency value for his Eight Extremes Vajra Body jumped and surged at an unprecedented, frantic pace.

Time slipped by quietly as he cultivated.

After an unknown amount of time, the scorching aura within the Quiet Chamber gradually subsided. The crimson hue on Chen Qing’s body slowly faded, revealing smoother, more lustrous skin beneath.

He exhaled a long breath of turbid air, the exhalation so long and steady it created a small gust within the Quiet Chamber.

’What a potent Blood Dominator Pill! The medicinal effects are so long-lasting and intense. I can still continue to absorb the remaining power!’

Feeling the surging Power within and his significantly enhanced physique, Chen Qing focused his Heart and Spirit inward.

And there was still a month before his planned departure for Celestial Treasure City.

’Perhaps... I really do have a chance to break through to the Mixed Element Realm this month!’

A bright light flashed in Chen Qing’s eyes.

His Eight Extremes Vajra Body was already close to the Mixed Element Realm, and the Blood Dominator Pill had just drastically increased his rate of progress.

Once he broke through to the Mixed Element Realm, his Flesh Body would undergo a qualitative transformation, and both his defensive and regenerative abilities would ascend to a whole new level.

He took a deep breath, closed his eyes once more, and continued to focus on his cultivation. He worked on grinding away the last vestiges of his bottleneck, determined to completely absorb the residual medicinal power of the Blood Dominator Pill.

「Twenty days passed in the blink of an eye.」

For twenty days, Chen Qing did not set foot outside, completely immersed in his cultivation.

Besides consolidating his Astral Force Cultivation, he devoted most of his Heart and Spirit to breaking through to the Mixed Element Realm of his Eight Extremes Vajra Body.

He had also consumed the Ice Marrow Mushroom. Its frigid medicinal power balanced the scorching Qi and Blood in his body. This harmony of yin and yang further promoted the tempering of his Flesh Body.

At this moment, inside the Quiet Chamber, Chen Qing sat cross-legged with his upper body bare.

His body trembled slightly. The Qi and Blood around him no longer raged and roared as before; instead, they were retracted to an extreme degree. Beneath his skin, however, it was as if innumerable small snakes were slithering and writhing, emitting a low hum.

From deep within his bones came a soft, dense patter, like rain on banana leaves. The final tempering and transformation were underway.

[Eight Extremes Vajra Body Tiger Elephant: (4999/5000)]

Chen Qing’s concentration was absolute. He mobilized the entirety of his body’s Essence of Qi and Blood, gathering it like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea, and charged toward the final bottleneck!

RUMBLE!

A colossal roar, as if from the dawn of creation, erupted from within his body!

Chen Qing’s body trembled violently. A dense, golden radiance instantly poured from his pores, bathing the entire Quiet Chamber in magnificent splendor!

A majestic, undying aura awakened from within him.

The breakthrough was entirely natural, occurring without the slightest hindrance.
