Chapter 407: Soaring Essence Qi (1)
Prior to this, Zhu Wuwan had already considered this matter. Should she prioritize improving her Qi Refinement cultivation or body refinement cultivation?
The answer was definitely yes!
Qi Refinement was the mainstream in the cultivation world, so it was not difficult to raise it, and the cost of breakthrough stones was not as high as Body Refinement.
However, the Special Encounter System’s cheat was a little too big. Zhu Wuwan did not dare to level up too quickly. Otherwise, even a fool would know that Zhu Wuwan had a big secret.
Therefore, for Zhu Wuwan, the priority was to improve her body refinement cultivation.
It was easier to hide one’s body tempering cultivation. After all, body tempering cultivation was mainly about the body. One needed to control every part of the body to a superb degree. In this case, it was much easier to hide one’s body.
In addition, very few cultivators would cultivate immortal secret techniques that could detect the cultivation of other cultivators, let alone cultivate to the extent that they could see through Zhu Wanhao’s disguise.
Therefore, it was undoubtedly safer for Zhu Wuwan to spend the breakthrough stones she had forcefully poured into her body cultivation.
Other than that, the increase in combat strength brought about by body refinement cultivation was also the key.
Everyone knew that Aura Refining cultivators of the same level were far inferior to Body Refining cultivators. The difference in combat strength between the two was at least two times.
If it weren’t for the fact that body refinement was far more difficult than Qi Refinement by ten times, and that the increase in lifespan brought by body refinement was relatively low, if the two were on the same starting point and the effects were similar, the cultivation world would have long been dominated by body refinement and not Qi Refinement.
Body refinement could give Zhu Wuwan stronger combat strength, which was what Zhu Wuwan desperately needed.
As long as he could step into the ranks of Soul Formation body cultivators, even if he was only a Soul Formation early-stage body cultivator, Zhu Wuwan was confident that he could fight against a Soul Formation mid-stage or even a Soul Formation late-stage cultivator.
Therefore, after some consideration, Zhu Wuyang decided to use all the Freedom Breakthrough Stones to upgrade his body first.
The safety issue could not be delayed!
As they entered the deeper parts of the underground secret hall, which was becoming more and more complete and hidden, Zhu Wuwan activated all the shielding, protection, and alert formations…He was preparing to break through to the Soul Formation Stage.
If he succeeded, Zhu Wuyan’s overall strength would increase by more than ten times.
Between the Soul Formation Stage and the Nascent Soul Stage, there were a hundred thousand mountains and a hundred thousand seas. The difference between the two was not enough to describe it.
The cultivation method of the Heavenly Cycle Stellar Scripture appeared in his mind. Zhu Wuwan began to absorb the 300 million Breakthrough Stones hidden in his body and continued to increase his 108 Heavenly Cycle Stellar Stones.
A Aura Refining cultivator only needed to cultivate one Golden Core and one Nascent Soul, but a Body Refining cultivator needed to cultivate 108 Heavenly Cycle Stars. Even though the resources required for each Heavenly Cycle Star were far less than that of a Golden Core and a Nascent Soul, the total consumption of so many Heavenly Cycle Stars was no less than that of a Golden Core and a Nascent Soul.
Furthermore, the majority of the energy consumed by body refinement cultivators was not the stars but the body of the body refinement cultivator.
As the Breakthrough Stone was consumed, the stars in the sky in Zhu Wuyan’s acupoints advanced at the same time and expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye.
9.5 meters…9.51 meters…9.52 meters…A radius of 9.5 meters…9.6 meters…
9.7 meters…
At the same time, the 300 million Breakthrough Stones hidden in his body were also being consumed at a terrifying speed. Every increase in the radius of 0.1 meters of the stars in the Heavenly Cycle consumed tens of millions of Breakthrough Stones, which was far more than ten times that of before.
Compared to the improvement of the Heavenly Cycle Stars, Zhu Wuyang’s body had improved even more. His flexibility and strength had soared, becoming stronger and stronger.
His blood essence was like a dragon, and his essence energy was so powerful that it could shake the Three Mountains and Five Peaks!
Zhu Wuwan had a vague feeling that he could break the sky with a full-strength punch. However, Zhu Wuwan knew that it was just an illusion.
In a short period of time, his body had improved too quickly and too violently, which was why he had such an illusion.
When the 108 Heavenly Cycle Stars expanded to a radius of ten meters, it reached its limit and stopped expanding and increasing.
What Zhu Wuwan needed to do next was to let the stars in the sky break through the shackles of the acupoints and move around the body, affecting the power of heaven and earth and forming all kinds of wonders.
This was the Exterior!
Shenhai acupoint!
Zhu Wanhao had opened and condensed her first major Internal acupoint when she was practicing the Heavenly Cycle Stellar Scripture. Now, she was going to break through to the Exterior Realm, and she was also going to start from the Shenhai acupoint.
This was the beginning of the 108 apertures!
Feeling the stars in the Divine Sea that had reached its current limit, which was the stars in the Heavenly Cycle in the Divine Sea Point, Zhu Wuwan’s expression became solemn.
The experience and techniques of breaking through the Aperture acupoints appeared in Zhu Wuwan’s mind. She once again reviewed the contents of the Heavenly Cycle Stellar Technique to prepare for the next breakthrough.
Even with Zhu Wuyan’s accumulation and foundation, he did not dare to relax in the slightest when faced with such a natural chasm.
While he was reviewing the Heavenly Cycle Stellar Scripture, Zhu Wuwan was also adjusting his essence, qi, and spirit to restore it to the state of perfection.
After an unknown period of time, the Nine Nether Spiritual Sense in Zhu Wan’an’s Niwan Palace surged and controlled the stars in the Divine Sea to attack the shackles of the surrounding apertures.
“Boom…”
Along with the slight impact of the stars in the Divine Sea, not only the shackles around the Divine Sea acupoint, but the shackles of the other 107 apertures also trembled slightly.
At the same time, a strange power gushed out of the 107 apertures, helping the Divine Sea acupuncture point resist the impact of the stars.
The 108 apertures had long been connected into one. In the past, Zhu Wuwan could fully mobilize the power of all the stars in the sky by relying on these 108 apertures to unleash the strongest attack and defense.
However, misfortune and fortune came with misfortune. At this moment, these 108 apertures that were connected as one became a huge obstacle for Zhu Wuwan to break through the shackles of the Shenhai acupoint.
Under such circumstances, it was basically impossible for the Divine Sea Star to break through the shackles of the Divine Sea Acupuncture Point.
But fortunately, other than the 108 apertures, Zhu Wuyang also had 108 stars in the sky.
Since these apertures could be connected as one to block the impact of the stars in the divine sea, these stars could also move side by side to attack the shackles of the apertures, making these apertures have no time to worry about anything else and reducing the number of enemies for the impact of the stars in the divine sea.
Therefore, after trying a few times, Zhu Wuwan mobilized all the power of the stars in the sky to break through the shackles of the acupoints.
At this moment, if one didn’t have enough spiritual sense, they wouldn’t be able to control so many stars in the sky, let alone break through the shackles of the apertures.
“Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom…”
A hundred and eight explosions sounded almost at the same time. The stars in the Divine Sea slowed down a little bit, and then, with the impact of the other 107 stars in the Heavenly Cycle, they effectively shared the burden of the Divine Sea Acupuncture Point.
“Boom…”
At this moment, the Divine Sea Star heavily struck the shackles of the Divine Sea Acupuncture Point. Cracks appeared on these shackles. However, before the Divine Sea Star could break through the shackles of the Divine Sea Acupuncture Point in one go, an astonishing recovery power surged from the other 108 apertures and repaired all these cracks. Zhu Wuwan was not given a second chance to break through.
How troublesome!
Zhu Wuyang shook his head. It seemed that he had to succeed in one attempt. This required Zhu Wuyang’s control to reach a certain level. When he attacked, he could not be too fierce or too weak. It had to be just right.
If it was too fierce, it could break through the bottleneck, but it would also cause irreparable damage to the Shenhai acupoint, and it would never be able to advance in the future.
If it was too weak, it would naturally be unable to break through the bottleneck and would be rapidly recovered by it, all of it useless.
This required Zhu Wuwan to experiment slowly. There were also dangers in the process of experimenting. It was very easy to damage the acupoints, or the rebound force of the acupoints was too strong, which would cause damage to the stars in the sky. In the light, cracks would appear, and in the serious, one’s strength would be crippled.
The path to the Soul Formation Stage was not only extremely difficult, but it was also fraught with danger.
