Chapter 99: Chapter 97: Overall Strength Enhancement
A brilliant golden light illuminated the world, connecting to the starry sky of the Outer Realm as an undying aura drifted between heaven and earth.
Anomalies appeared one after another. Spiritual Waves surged, lashing against the firmament, while the phantom of a Vajra crossed the sky, plucking stars and grasping the moon...
The scene lasted for but an instant, vanishing in a flash. No one could pinpoint the exact location that had caused the Anomaly.
But the appearance of Undying Power and the Vajra phantom was enough to shake the world!
These were the powers and Anomalies that only a Body Cultivator at the Vajra Realm could manifest. Could it be that someone in this world had re-established the Body Refining Dao?
In the present age, certain reclusive Supreme masters sensed the disturbance. They abruptly opened their eyes and, after a quick divination, their voices boomed throughout their sects and clans: "A ray of hope in these chaotic times! Use all your resources to find this person!"
This command spread through all the great Ancient Sects and clans, sending tremors through the world.
In this world, the Dao of Body Refining was broken and impassable. Now, someone had defied the heavens to re-establish the path and cultivate to the Vajra Realm. This alarmed even the old ancestors of various sects, who declared their intent to find this individual!
Moreover, the ancestors had even designated this person the "Child of Hope" for this new era!
But no matter how they searched, they were doomed to find nothing. Jiang Jichen had, in fact, only just broken through to the Innate Body Refining Realm. The reason he could summon Undying Power and the Vajra Anomaly was likely because it was a Perfect Realm breakthrough for a Body Refiner.
The undying aura and the Anomaly had been felt most intensely in Cyan Moon City. Some people even turned their attention to the Moonlight Forest, but they ultimately found no trace of the source.
Meanwhile, Jiang Jichen had fallen completely still.
He sat cross-legged and motionless, like an old monk entering nirvana. His body was deathly still, without the slightest trace of life or energy.
But within his body, inside his Great Innate Acupoint, Life Energy surged like a torrential flood, and Undying Power crashed like waves striking the heavens.
The Innate Body Refining Realm was comprised of ten layers. The body’s Great Innate Acupoint formed a world unto itself, containing ten Small Innate Acupoints. Unblocking a Small Innate Acupoint was equivalent to advancing one layer in the realm.
Jiang Jichen had just broken through the Great Innate Acupoint, summoning Undying Power and the Vajra Anomaly to reforge his body. But this power was so immense that even the Immortal Power from half an Immortal Leaf had not been depleted. Jiang Jichen still had enough strength remaining to push for the next realm.
Thus, he was now condensing all of his power into his body’s Great Innate Acupoint, continuing his push through the Body Refining Realm!
’The Undying Scripture has finally broken through to the First Turn Perfect Realm, and the Body Refining Dao is open to me again,’ Jiang Jichen thought. ’This time, I’m going to push all the way and see just where my limit is.’
’First Small Innate Acupoint... break!’
Within his Great Innate Acupoint, the torrent of power—a fusion of Life Energy, Undying Power, and Immortal Power—acted like an unstoppable Treasure Sword. Piercing through all obstacles, it surged forward and instantly broke through the first Small Innate Acupoint.
Jiang Jichen didn’t stop, pressing on with the momentum to push as far as he could!
’Second Small Innate Acupoint... break!’
Eventually, the torrent of fused Life Energy, Undying Power, and Immortal Power weakened. Jiang Jichen only managed to break through the second Small Innate Acupoint, his Cultivation coming to a halt at the Innate Body Refining Second Layer.
With that, his *Undying Scripture* broke through once more, officially entering the Second Turn Initial Stage!
Only now could the true might of the *Undying Scripture* begin to be seen.
As the Body Refining Realm breakthrough concluded, the power flowed back into his flesh. In that instant, his Life Energy erupted like a volcano. The qi and blood within Jiang Jichen’s body surged without end, like a great river thundering toward the sea.
But it was far from over!
His Body Refining breakthrough was complete, but his Spirit Cultivation was just beginning...
How could the Body Refining Realm possibly absorb all the immense power of a single Immortal Leaf?
Therefore, a portion of the White Turtle Longevity Immortal Grass’s power was also converted into Spirit Cultivation Power, which circulated through his Spirit Veins and gathered in his Qi Sea!
At this moment, both his Qi Sea and Spirit Veins were filled to the brim with the Immortal Grass’s power, stretched to the point of bursting.
Without even needing to think, Jiang Jichen rapidly began to circulate the *Source Character Qi Condensation Technique*.
The miraculous properties of the White Turtle Longevity Grass were beyond imagination. Wherever its power flowed, all injuries vanished, leaving one’s life in a perfect state.
’Second Spirit Vein... Spiritual Power liquefaction!’
’One hundred percent!’
Fueled by the power of the White Turtle Longevity Grass, the liquefaction of Spiritual Power in his second Spirit Vein was completed in a stunningly fast instant!
’Third Spirit Vein... Spiritual Power liquefaction!’
’...Eighty percent... ninety percent... one hundred percent!’
The liquefaction of his third Spirit Vein was slower, but it too was eventually completed. With that, the power of the White Turtle Longevity Grass was finally depleted, and his Spirit Cultivation came to a halt at the Innate Third Realm Perfect Realm.
Only then could Jiang Jichen finally let out a sigh of relief.
Body: Innate Body Refining Second Perfect Realm. Spirit: Spirit Cultivation Innate Third Realm Perfection!
With every gesture, the void itself seemed to tremble. He could feel a power like a roaming dragon inside him, an infinite well of strength.
’The power of the White Turtle Longevity Grass truly is heaven-defying,’ he thought. ’Without it, it would have been impossible to re-establish the Body Refining Dao.’
’My *Undying Scripture* is at the Second Turn Initial Stage, my Body Refining is at the Second Perfect Realm, and the Body Refining Dao is open again. Getting struck by lightning every day for a month was completely worth it!’
’And with my current power, I could obliterate the likes of Granny Liu and that old servant in black with a single palm strike. If I were to face an average Minor Grandmaster, I might not win a direct fight, but I would have more than enough power to escape with my life!’
’And with the One Corner of the Sky Killing Array, I have nothing to fear in the Celestial Pearl Country. It’s time to leave my seclusion!’
...
Jiang Jichen had been in seclusion here for over a month. In total, nearly three months had passed since his rebirth!
Though his journey had been fraught with countless life-and-death battles and immense hardship, his strength had ultimately soared, allowing him to crush all his peers!
When Jiang Jichen stood up, he saw that the mountain peak, once turned to scorched earth, was now covered in lush green grass and brimming with life. The blackened, lightning-struck tree was even sprouting new green buds. Everything felt so beautiful and new.
Little Skeleton extended its small, bony hand, and a beautiful butterfly fluttered down to land on a finger bone. In that instant, Jiang Jichen could actually understand the emotion radiating from Little Skeleton’s gray Soul Flame.
He gazed at Little Skeleton and vowed silently in his heart, ’Little Gray, one day, I will help you reforge a body of flesh and blood. You’ll become a living being who can speak and smile in the sun!’
After that moment of reflection, Jiang Jichen led Little Skeleton out of the Moonlight Forest, heading for Cyan Moon City.
...
At the exit of the Moonlight Forest, Qingya, Luuo Xue, and Ding Xiaodao had been waiting for a month. But on this particular day, Luuo Xue and Qingya suddenly received a message at the same time from their Sound Transmission Jades.
"An envoy from the Feng Family of the Celestial Wind Country has arrived in Cyan Moon City. Return at once!"
Luuo Xue and Qingya exchanged a look, unable to hide the shock on their faces.
It was common knowledge that the Southern Continent had four great nations that held dominion over countless territories. In the eyes of such powers, the Celestial Pearl Country was as insignificant as an ant, worth less than even a single one of their cities!
Beneath those four great nations were four secondary powers. They were called "secondary" because they were naturally weaker, but they were still mighty enough to view the Celestial Pearl Country as nothing more than an ant.
And the Feng Family was the number one Noble Family in the Celestial Wind Country, one of those four secondary powers!
In the eyes of the people of the Celestial Pearl Country, an envoy from the Celestial Wind Country’s Feng Family was a supreme being, someone they could only ever gaze up at in awe.
Luuo Xue and Qingya had no choice but to go back, leaving Ding Xiaodao to wait alone...
