Nine Revolutions Star Transformation

Chapter 993: Chapter 1017: Cultivating the Nine Turns Golden Body Manual

The mental realm being higher than the level of strength is what all Martial Artists dream of. Currently, Chu Linfeng’s mental realm is an entire major realm above his level of strength. He should be happy, but at this moment, he cannot be. The gap from Golden Immortal to Daluo Golden Immortal is a hurdle, a very difficult hurdle to cross.

While watching those around continue their relentless cultivation, Chu Linfeng chose to leave the training area. At this point, even continuously absorbing Immortal Spirit Qi could not break through his realm. He needed a breakthrough point, and once found, he could open the cultivation bottleneck and smoothly reach the Early-stage Daluo Golden Immortal realm from the Golden Immortal realm.

There’s no rushing cultivation. Some take hundreds or even thousands of years in seclusion to break through a realm. As one progresses, breaking through realms becomes increasingly difficult, requiring more Immortal Spirit Qi.

After taking a look at the space within the Reincarnation Bracelet, Chu Linfeng flickered into movement and flew atop a mountain, feeling a sense of overlook over the lush, verdant trees in the distance.

Settling down on a large rock, Chu Linfeng began to ponder the problems he faced. After the Immortal Infant entered his body, the vast memories began to merge, most originating from the Ancestral Dragon’s inheritance. He learned of the Dragon Race’s most formidable Secret Technique, the Nine Divine Dragon Transformations, similar in nature to the Nine Transformations Golden Body Technique he hadn’t yet practiced—both heaven-defying skills capable of creating clones.

Having reached the Late Golden Immortal, the conditions to practice the Nine Transformations Golden Body Technique were met. However, at this moment, Chu Linfeng couldn’t pursue it due to its time-consuming nature. Sometimes, this heaven-defying cultivation technique could take years or even decades. In comparison, the previously acquired Profound Tier Technique and Earth Tier Technique seemed exceedingly insignificant, not knowing how to even describe their weakness.

After taking a deep breath, Chu Linfeng made a decision to first break through Fire Transformation to the Second Layer, thereby greatly increasing his strength. The time to achieve this breakthrough wouldn’t be long, and he could do it with ease.

Upon taking out the Li-Fire Crystal, Chu Linfeng looked at the sparkling fire element glow and chuckled bitterly, "Back when I encountered the Earth Fire Charm, I could only evade and bluff my way through. If I met it now, I could probably destroy it with a single move. Despite having such powerful strength now, in the Immortal Realm, I am still akin to an ant."

The temperature of the Li-Fire Crystal, once a source of fear for Chu Linfeng, now evoked no feeling. Operating the Chaotic Immortal Power within his body, he slowly absorbed the fire element energy from the Li-Fire Crystal. Three days later, the energy within the crystal was fully absorbed; the fire element molecules within his body increased, similar to absorbing the Ancestral Soil Crystal, allowing a clear view of the granular fire element molecules rapidly merging with the original ones within his body.

With the breakthrough method of Earth Transformation in mind, breaking through Fire Transformation became notably easier. Plus, with such a large Li-Fire Crystal rich in fire element energy, it took Chu Linfeng only four days to elevate Fire Transformation to the Second Layer, forming a fiery red bead at the Dantian’s location.

With a thought, a flame swiftly appeared in Chu Linfeng’s hand. He could distinctly feel the heat of the flame, featuring strands of black within its color, elevating the quality of this flame by a level compared to the previous one—it was slightly stronger than Earth Fire, almost akin to Celestial Fire.

Seeing a stone of about two meters in radius nearby, Chu Linfeng cast the flame at it. The stone, in mere breaths, transformed into fiery magma, astonishing Chu Linfeng. "Such a powerful Flame Power, to be able to instantly melt stone into magma. This will be a potent weapon against enemies in the future."

Once the excitement calmed, Chu Linfeng repeatedly practiced Fire Transformation several times before stopping. "Once I’ve become stronger, I must obtain Energy Barytes to enhance the other transformations. Yueyan mentioned such things exist in the Immortal Realm. I need to find a way to acquire them. Once I’ve broken through all Seven Transformations to the Second Layer, even as a Golden Immortal, facing a Nine Heavens Profound Immortal shouldn’t be an issue."

A mountain breeze passed, leaving Chu Linfeng feeling quite pleasant. He recalled his promise with Xuanyuan Yueyan, intensifying the pressure within him. After a while, his heart calmed down and he gradually entered a state of Void Clarity.

The Nine Transformations Golden Body Technique gradually surfaced in his mind. At present, only two Golden Body methods manifested in his mind: the Earth Golden Body and the Fire Golden Body, likely due to breaking through to the Second Layer in Earth Transformation and Fire Transformation.

Sword Spirit Xuanyuan Yueyan once mentioned that the Nine Revolutions Star Transformation and the Nine Transformations Golden Body Technique are two complementarily heaven-defying martial skills. Mastering the first makes learning the second much easier. However, both are incredibly heaven-defying cultivation techniques demanding enormous sacrifices to succeed, especially as the Nine Transformations Golden Body Technique requires dividing the Power of Soul to achieve a clone—a pain few could withstand.

Chu Linfeng deliberated on learning either the Earth Golden Body or the Fire Golden Body first. The Earth Golden Body undoubtedly offers heaven-defying defense, providing robust protection, allowing one to endure strong attacks while simultaneously delivering decisive martial skills to severely injure opponents.

The Fire Golden Body undoubtedly possesses potent Attack Power. Naturally, its fire element attacks could perplex opponents. However, at this moment, his strength remains too inadequate. Moreover, as Yueyan advised, the Nine Transformations Golden Body Technique should not be utilized unless faced with life and death since it would incite the Immortal Realm’s competitive interest.

Chu Linfeng opted to first learn the Earth Golden Body. The method for training the Earth Golden Body promptly emerged in his mind, starting with separating a wisp of his soul, encasing it with earth elements, then using this Golden Body Technique to form a body. Once completed, he could control it with his Divine Sense.

When he wished to withdraw the Golden Body, a mere thought would return it within his body. If needed again, another thought would manifest the Golden Body instantly, much like Xiaoying and the Golden Demon Vulture, capable of entering and exiting his body freely.

Chu Linfeng grasped the heaven-defying aspect of the Nine Transformations Golden Body Technique. Just thinking about it was intimidating. Against terrifying adversaries, summoning nine Golden Bodies in one go would exhibit exceptional Attack Power. Even if one were destroyed, it didn’t matter, as another could be recreated anytime, since the soul does not perish like a physical body—it takes soul attacks to obliterate it entirely.

Yet, even in such a situation, a soul could again be divided to mold a new Golden Body, rendering it an immortal existence unless the Golden Body user dies.

Chu Linfeng calculated the time, noting over three hundred years remained within the Reincarnation Bracelet. Practicing the Earth Golden Body should still leave time to break through the Daluo Golden Immortal realm. With determination, he began to cultivate following the Nine Transformations Golden Body Technique method...
