Myriad Daos of the Heaven

Chapter 342: Chapter 340: All Are Mine

Jiang Jichen felt as if he were in a world of dazzling, iridescent light.

Golden threads floated all around him!

’What is that?’

Jiang Jichen had a somewhat familiar feeling, but it didn’t seem like Undying Power.

It seemed to contain a strange, medicinal fragrance!

He casually opened his mouth and took a breath, swallowing several of the golden threads that were right in front of him.

BOOM!

As the golden threads entered his body, Jiang Jichen suddenly shuddered. He could feel them drilling and weaving through him!

It was as if countless fine needles were piercing through his body, easily passing through even his incomparably hard bones.

"HISS!"

Jiang Jichen sucked in a cold breath. The agony was so intense that even with his monstrous tolerance for pain, he was on the verge of going insane, of collapsing!

However, in the next moment, he discovered that the places the golden threads had passed through healed instantly and became... stronger.

They seemed to flow with... an undying luster.

’Everywhere the threads have passed through has been amazingly tempered and strengthened. This...’

’Not only that, but it can even reach the secret points of my physical body that are normally impossible to temper. Its effects are too heaven-defying!’

Jiang Jichen was utterly shocked!

But soon, he also discovered that after traveling a certain distance, the golden threads began to weaken and dim until they vanished completely.

It seemed the golden threads were formed from a mysterious energy, which was ultimately absorbed by his body during the piercing process!

’Phew, such a heaven-defying effect will be unimaginably beneficial for my body’s tempering!’

’If I want to continue on the next leg of the Body Refining Dao, I need to reach the absolute limit of my physical body. Therefore... all of these golden threads must be mine!’

Jiang Jichen became ruthless, his bloodshot eyes staring intently at the golden threads swimming around him.

Some were near, others far, all of them flickering erratically and difficult to catch.

Moreover, he seemed to be in a peculiar state.

He could only sit cross-legged and motionless in the void. He could capture the nearby golden threads, but the ones farther away were too difficult to reach!

And at least forty percent of them were beyond the range where he could simply open his mouth and inhale!

But Jiang Jichen paid it no mind. He first began to frantically devour the golden threads closest to him, drawing them into his body.

Of course, at the same time, he had to endure unimaginable pain.

The feeling was like having thousands of fine needles coursing through his flesh, blood, and marrow.

Jiang Jichen’s eyes were bloodshot and weeping tears of blood, his teeth were nearly shattered from clenching, and his Divine Thought was on the verge of collapse.

But he didn’t give up. He continued to desperately devour the mysterious golden threads.

He knew this was a great opportunity, a massive stroke of fortune that he could not afford to miss!

If he missed it, his chances of successfully continuing on the next part of the Body Refining Dao would be greatly diminished.

Soon, he had absorbed and refined the sixty percent of the golden threads that were close to him.

At this moment, he could feel his physical body transforming. A faint, golden luster seemed to flow unceasingly throughout it.

However, it still wasn’t enough. There were still many hidden, obscure parts of his body that had yet to be tempered.

’No, all these golden threads are mine! Not a single one is getting away!’

Jiang Jichen was being greedy, stubborn, and a little childish at this moment.

The mysterious golden threads floating further out seemed to possess a hint of their own consciousness, and their golden luster was even more brilliant.

They were more extraordinary than the ones closer to him; their effects should be even more heaven-defying and powerful!

’Only the scriptures of the Third Turn of the Undying Scripture contain the esoteric art of devouring clouds from ten thousand miles away, but I’ve only cultivated to the Second Turn. What should I do?’

Jiang Jichen’s eyes turned red with envy, because he saw that as time passed, the medicinal power of the golden threads was dissipating into the void, depleting at a very slow rate.

Even so, the sight still made Jiang Jichen’s heart ache.

All of this should have been his, yet it was now scattering into the void.

He was very displeased, but he remained calm!

’The Source Character Qi Condensing Technique can also devour the Ten Thousand Spirits! I can use this method to pull them closer, swallow them, and then refine them with the Undying Scripture!’

This meant he had to alternate between two Heaven-defying Techniques.

Jiang Jichen had never tried this before.

He had only ever operated two techniques simultaneously, but that came with limitations; he couldn’t push either Cultivation Technique to its true limit.

Only by operating a single Cultivation Technique could he push it to its limit and unleash its true power.

’All things can return to the void, the Ten Thousand Spirits can be refined into the source, the Human Body Cosmos holds infinite mysteries, devour the Ten Thousand Spirits...’

Jiang Jichen pushed the Source Character Qi Condensing Technique to its absolute limit. Finally, the void trembled, and his entire Spirit Body generated an astonishing suction force.

It was as if he was about to absorb the spiritual qi of the Ten Thousand Spirits from all of heaven and earth!

The distant golden spiritual power lines were also pulled by the powerful suction, converging on Jiang Jichen as their center.

’Now is the time! Devour!’

Just as a stream of golden spiritual power lines was drawn over, Jiang Jichen stopped circulating the Source Character Qi Condensing Technique and sucked them in with an open mouth!

One after another, the brilliantly glowing golden threads were swallowed into his mouth.

Then, boundless, excruciating pain coursed through his body as he switched to circulating the Undying Scripture.

’Refine!’

Jiang Jichen’s veins bulged, and his appearance was terrifying.

But his refining speed was indeed very fast. In just a few dozen breaths, he had finished refining one mouthful.

Thus, Jiang Jichen stopped the Undying Scripture and once again circulated the Source Character Qi Condensing Technique.

Alternating back and forth like this, Jiang Jichen ruthlessly devoured all the golden threads. He even used the Source Character Qi Condensing Technique to re-condense the golden aura that had dissipated and refined all of it.

"Phew!"

Jiang Jichen could finally relax. He let out a breath, feeling completely satisfied. His body had never felt so good or so powerful.

His Cultivation had soared once again. If he wanted to, he could even attempt to break through to the Seven-Colored Perfect Dao Platform Foundation Establishment Late Stage Realm.

This was the result of continuous life-and-death battles, pill tempering, medicinal liquid immersions, and so on, all piled up.

It was only to be expected, so Jiang Jichen wasn’t surprised!

He opened his eyes, only to suddenly see Elder Yao staring at him intently from outside the Medicine Cauldron.

That gaze... why was it a bit...

"You pervert, Elder Yao, what do you think you’re doing?"

With a WHOOSH, Jiang Jichen shot out, trying to escape.

But a curtain of light suddenly appeared, suppressing him on the spot and rendering him immobile.

The feeling of power he had just experienced vanished completely.

He felt as if he had plummeted from the clouds into an abyss...

"Elder Yao, I just recovered from a serious injury! I just woke up, I haven’t even brushed my teeth or washed my face! You... let me go, please. I’m very weak right now, I’m a patient!"

Jiang Jichen humbled himself, putting on a pitiful act.

He hoped Elder Yao would take pity on him, feel compassion, and let him go.

"Weak? A patient? Heh, to think you absorbed one hundred percent of the Gold Tempering Liquid. That was truly beyond my expectations! But this is even better!"

"Hmph, I didn’t give you this cauldron of Gold Tempering Liquid for free. Your body is in its most powerful state right now, which is perfect for testing a High Level pill I didn’t dare to try before."

As he finished speaking, Elder Yao waved his sleeve through the air. The doors to the medicine repository boomed open, and a bottle of pills flew into his hand.

He then took one out and, with a flick of his finger, sent it flying into Jiang Jichen’s mouth.

"Fuck! You pervert, Elder Yao! Goddammit, I...!"

Jiang Jichen cursed out loud, but before he could finish, the terrifying medicinal effects of the new High Level pill had already exploded within him...

He was instantly rendered speechless!
