Chapter 689: Two great magical powers, great trend!
The innate divine abilities born from the physical body are not limited to a few specific types, but are determined based on the cultivator’s cultivation method and the state of their physical body.
For instance, cultivators who practice fire attribute cultivation methods will naturally awaken physical body divine abilities that lean towards the fire attribute.
And those with spiritual physiques like the Undying Golden Body or the Immaculate Heavenly Fragrance Body will likely awaken divine abilities related to their spiritual physique.
In short, it varies from person to person, and each cultivator’s innate divine abilities will have some differences.
Lu Changsheng cultivated the ‘Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art’ and the ‘Brahma Demon True Saint Technique’, his physique was astonishing. Using the Heavenly Tribulation to temper his body, integrating his essence, qi, and spirit with the heavens and earth, and blasting open the treasures within his body, he obtained a total of two major physical body divine abilities.
The first divine ability originated from his Chaos Body!
Or rather, it was a heaven and earth phenomenon formed by taking the Chaos Body as the foundation, integrating the effects of the Nine Treasures Ruyi Bone, Brahma Demon True Saint Technique, Yin Yang Magic Power, Great Sun Nirvana Divine Light, and many other factors.
Once this phenomenon appears, it is like a cultivator’s domain or realm, forming a kind of heaven and earth grand momentum, crushing down towards others.
Cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage, facing his heaven and earth phenomenon, are likely to directly lose combat power, spit out blood, or even be suppressed and killed.
Besides dealing with weaker opponents, the phenomenon can also increase one’s own combat power, dissolve attacks, form beneficial halos, and interfere with and affect enemies.
The second divine ability originated from the Dragon and Phoenix origins.
Previously, through the power of Black Dragon Nirvana and Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana, breaking and then establishing, undergoing baptism and transformation, a surge of Nirvana power was buried deep within his flesh and blood.
In this situation, and also possessing physiques like the Undying Golden Body and the Kidney Divine Treasure, he obtained a Nirvana divine ability!
Lu Changsheng can undergo Nirvana rebirth by consuming the undying substance and Dragon and Phoenix origins within his body and recover as before.
However, this divine ability can be used at most once in a short period.
If used consecutively, burning too much of the Dragon and Phoenix origins and undying substance may lead to permanent damage to the origin, making it difficult to recover, and affecting the foundation.
“Physical body divine abilities…”
Lu Changsheng was comprehending the divine abilities he had awakened, suddenly his eyebrow twitched, and he muttered to himself, “Innate physical body divine abilities are mainly based on the physical body. If before breaking through, I had completely condensed the seven great life treasure bones with the ‘Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art’, wouldn’t the awakened innate divine abilities be invincible?”
But as soon as the thought appeared, he felt that paying such a price for one innate divine ability was not worth the gain.
If I have this time and energy, it’s better to cultivate my current cultivation methods and divine abilities to great success.
“However, is this Fourth Level Body Cultivation?”
After passing the Heavenly Tribulation, the rules of heaven and earth will give rise to a surge of new life power after the tribulation, to baptize the body of the tribulation passer, promote the recovery of qi and blood, magic power, and injuries, and complete the final transformation.
Even though his physical body was damaged, his qi and blood magic power were consumed, and he was still transforming at this time, Lu Changsheng could clearly feel that his physical body seemed to have broken through a layer of heaven and earth shackles, obtained a huge improvement, and grasped endless divine power.
With a raise of his hand or a lift of his foot, he could shake the heaven and earth grand momentum!
Fourth Level Body Cultivation not only improves the physical body, qi and blood, and strength but also gives birth to physical body divine abilities.
Essence, qi, and spirit blast open the great door of human creation, integrate with the creation qi of heaven and earth, thus forming a surge of momentum!
As the saying goes: Where the grand momentum of the world tends is not something human power can move!
And Fourth Level Body Cultivators can then, through their own momentum, influence the operation of all things in heaven and earth and form a grand momentum.
Or rather, through their own essence, qi, and spirit, in a fierce and overbearing manner, they can forcibly mobilize forces within their surrounding area that share the same attribute as themselves for their own use.
Seemingly one person fighting, it is like thousands of soldiers and horses attacking together, forming an all-encompassing essence, qi, and spirit suppression, like a rolling flood sweeping forward.
“That’s true. If breaking through to Fourth Level only increases physical strength, then what is the difference compared to when I previously raised my physical body to Fourth Level through the Nine Treasures Ruyi Bone? How can I contend against a Nascent Soul True Monarch?”
Lu Changsheng had a realization in his heart.
When Heaven unleashes killing intent, stars shift and constellations change; when Earth unleashes killing intent, dragons and serpents rise from the land; when Man unleashes killing intent, heaven and earth are overturned!
It’s like saying Nascent Soul True Monarchs grasp the power of heaven and earth, then what Fourth Level Body Cultivators grasp is the killing intent unleashed by man!
“However, aren’t these methods something only ancient body cultivators could fully possess? Is it because of the ‘Brahma Demon True Saint Technique’?”
Just cultivating body cultivation concurrently, it’s hard to be like himself, giving birth to two great innate divine abilities and also gaining such a large improvement.
Lu Changsheng believed it was related to the ‘Brahma Demon True Saint Technique’ he cultivated.
Although this cultivation method was cultivated by simulating Buddhist and Demonic magic power through the ‘Yin Yang Creation Scripture’, which governs all methods, the entire process was not omitted. It indeed required a lot of time and effort and was cultivated using Buddhist bone relics, demonic path origin, and heavenly demon blood.
“Husband.”
Without waiting for Lu Changsheng to experience more, Honglian saw that the Heavenly Tribulation had completely dissipated and immediately stepped forward, her beautiful eyes filled with concern as she looked at him.
The way Lu Changsheng underwent tribulation just now truly left her shocked and trembling with fear.
Ordinary cultivators, being able to survive the Heavenly Tribulation without dying, is already worth celebrating!
How could they dare to be like Lu Changsheng, letting the Heavenly Tribulation bombard them.
Especially after the three Heavenly Tribulations, Lu Changsheng still didn’t fully resist, letting the Heavenly Tribulation baptize and temper himself; it was simply terrifying.
Even among ancient body cultivators, those who dared to be so bold and used the Heavenly Tribulation to temper their physical bodies were extremely rare.
“Honglian, I made you worry.”
Lu Changsheng broke out of the water, his body suddenly shook, his Third Level magic robe was in tatters, and the charred old skin of his body rustled and fell off.
The body reborn from bathing in the Heavenly Tribulation was crystal clear, treasure light flowed, filled with beauty and a sense of powerful strength.
Even Lu Changsheng himself, looking at his physical body at this time, couldn’t help but let out a sigh of admiration.
However, he wasn’t an exhibitionist. He lightly raised his palm, put on a green robe, his figure tall and slender, like an exiled immortal walking out of a painting, elegant and ethereal.
It’s just that having just finished breaking through to Fourth Level Body Cultivation, his whole body exuded a majestic and domineering aura capable of uprooting mountains and dominating the world, which was severely inconsistent with his current appearance and image, even giving people a sense of awkwardness.
Clearly a handsome and ethereal handsome man, but like an overlord who could swallow mountains and rivers.
“Congratulations, Husband, on breaking through to Fourth Level Body Cultivation.”
Honglian’s beautiful eyes overflowed with brilliance, a light, shallow smile played on her red lips, she bowed gracefully towards Lu Changsheng, and offered congratulations.
“Hehe, it’s just a breakthrough of a small realm, nothing worth praising.”
Although breaking through to Fourth Level Body Cultivation is enough to contend head-on with Nascent Soul True Monarchs.
But in his opinion, his body cultivation was just a concurrent cultivation, still incomparable to breaking through to Nascent Soul.
“As expected of Husband, breaking through to Fourth Level Body Cultivation first during the Core Formation stage and still being so calm and composed.”
Honglian was secretly surprised in her heart.
Although there are many cultivators in the cultivation world who also cultivate the body.
But having Peak Core Formation and Level 3 peak body cultivation simultaneously and prioritizing breaking through to Fourth Level Body Cultivation is simply rarely seen in ten thousand years.
Most achieve Nascent Soul and then spend a large amount of resources to break through body cultivation.
“Honglian, how much time did my breakthrough take?”
Lu Changsheng didn’t mind Honglian’s surprise and asked aloud.
According to his own judgment, the breakthrough shouldn’t have taken too long, and he could make it before the Whale Hunting Feast.
“Exactly half a year.”
Honglian replied softly.
“Since that’s the case, then there’s no need to rush.”
Lu Changsheng heard there was still one month left, knowing it was enough time for the Sea-Splitting Black Dragon Whale to rush back, he didn’t use the [Misty Dust Banner].
Preparing to use this time to stabilize his realm and experience the profundities of Fourth Level Body Cultivation.
“Big Black, let’s go.”
Lu Changsheng didn’t waste time and shouted towards the Sea-Splitting Black Dragon Whale in the deep sea.
“Roar!!!”
The Sea-Splitting Black Dragon Whale roared and surged out of the water. Lu Changsheng put the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng back into his Qiankun Shadow-Binding Belt and then entered the stomach chamber with Honglian.
“Although undergoing tribulation has many benefits, the consumption is also large. Not only did it cost many spirit pills and miraculous medicines, the Five Directions Tribulation Transformation Stone shattered, it also blasted apart two of my magic treasures.”
Inside the stomach chamber, Lu Changsheng thought of the armor and magic robe that were shattered by the Heavenly Tribulation during the tribulation process and felt a little pained.
After all, these were two top-tier magic treasures.
Even if he killed True Monarch Loushan, True Monarch Heavenly Silkworm, and True Monarch Zicang and obtained multiple magic treasures, he couldn’t waste them like this.
“Later, I need to refine a better magic robe.”
Thinking of his battles in the Han Sha Illusion Domain, the Yuan Kong Magic Robe and the Golden Tiger Dragon Pattern Armor were also completely damaged. Now he didn’t even have a decent magic robe or battle armor, Lu Changsheng thought to himself.
Although possessing a Fourth Level physique, he didn’t need magic robes or battle armor.
But one can never have too many magic treasures, and many times, they still have a certain effect.
Moreover, the Yin Yang Daoist Robe from the ‘Yin Yang Creation Scripture’ and the Brahma Demon True Saint Armor from the ‘Brahma Demon True Saint Technique’ also have a certain bonus to the divine abilities and techniques of the two cultivation methods, making them worth refining.
Sitting cross-legged, he began to stabilize his physical body’s qi and blood, experience the new life power after the Heavenly Tribulation, and the profundities of Fourth Level Body Cultivation.
“Flesh and blood, meridians, bones, and dantian have all expanded. Moreover, the physical body is much purer, as if it has gained a surge of… spirituality.”
Lu Changsheng looked at his skin.
Like the most perfect jade in the world, even whiter, tenderer, and more translucent than suet jade, emitting strands of crystal clear luster.
Lu Changsheng realized that his physical body was like a Spirit Treasure, it had gained a surge of spirituality!
Or rather, like a demon king, his sensitivity to various auras was sharper, especially his intuition and premonition regarding danger.
There’s a saying that goes: The duck knows first when the spring river water warms; the cicada is aware before the autumn wind blows!
When cultivators break through Foundation Establishment after shedding their mortal body, their spiritual sense gradually becomes sharper, and subtle senses like sudden impulses and restlessness appear.
And body cultivators’ breakthrough is simpler and more direct; their physical body and flesh possess spirituality, able to perceive danger.
For instance, if someone has ill intentions towards Lu Changsheng and probes him through divine sense or a certain magic treasure, they might be able to hide from his Grand Unity Divine Soul, but will be sensed by his physical body.
“The human body is mysterious and profound.”
Lu Changsheng sighed, continued to experience the Fourth Level physique, and stabilize his cultivation.
Great Dream Immortal City.
These days, the Immortal City was very lively.
On one hand, the Great Dream City Lord hunted a Fourth Level Demon King, shaking the name of Jiang Country, causing many cultivators to come and settle in the Great Dream Marsh area, leading to an increase in the flow of people in Great Dream Immortal City.
On the other hand, it was the City Lord’s Mansion’s Whale Hunting Feast.
Although the Whale Hunting Feast only invited high-level cultivators, only Core Formation True Masters were qualified to attend.
But besides the Whale Hunting Feast, the City Lord’s Mansion also held a warm-up auction.
After the Whale Hunting Feast ends, the City Lord’s Mansion will hold an auction to deal with some rare Third Level heavenly materials and earthly treasures, as well as demonic beast materials.
In this situation, it naturally attracted many cultivators to Great Dream Immortal City.
Especially with rumors circulating that Great Dream Immortal City might release rare treasures like Third Level demonic cores, Core Formation spiritual items, and even Condensing Crystal Pills, many forces came early to wait.
“The Whale Hunting Feast is about to start, why hasn’t Dad returned yet?”
In the City Lord’s Mansion, in a pavilion, Lu Wangshu tried to calm her mind by drawing talismans, but she couldn’t calm down no matter what.
A few days ago, she accidentally heard news related to the [Han Sha Illusion Domain].
Learning of the astonishing achievement of True Master Yangming and True Monarch Qingluan killing two Nascent Soul True Monarchs in the Han Sha Illusion Domain, her first thought was to find her dad to verify and ask about the truth and the process.
But her father was not in the Immortal City.
Especially with the Whale Hunting Feast about to start and Core Formation cultivators from various forces arriving at Great Dream Immortal City, Dad still hadn’t appeared, making her inevitably worried.
Although before, Dad seemed fine, and Aunt Ling Zixiao also said that father just had important matters and would come later.
But thinking of the intelligence information from the Han Sha Illusion Domain, she still couldn’t help but worry and think about it.
At this moment, tens of thousands of miles away from Great Dream Immortal City.
“Whoosh!”
Lu Changsheng and Honglian walked out of the Sea-Splitting Black Dragon Whale’s stomach chamber, signaling it to rest well here, then the [Misty Dust Banner] appeared in his hand.
“Buzz!”
The Misty Dust Banner burst forth with five-colored brilliance, enveloping Lu Changsheng and Honglian, then transforming into a colorful cloud, stirring up ripples, and teleporting towards Great Dream Immortal City.
A burst of dizziness, void ripples fluctuating, the two appeared inside the City Lord’s Mansion.
Even though Honglian had seen the Misty Dust Banner before, seeing this Spirit Treasure, she still couldn’t help but praise its convenience.
“Zixiao.”
Lu Changsheng immediately found Ling Zixiao and asked her about the Whale Hunting Feast situation.
“Husband, the Heavenly Sword Sect, Azure Cloud Sect, Falling Cloud Sect, Spirit Control Sect, Danxia Mountain, and Illusionary Sound Gate have all sent people.”
“However, at the Heavenly Sword Sect, I only saw True Master Gujian and did not see True Monarch Xuanjian or True Monarch Juejian.”
Ling Zixiao said aloud.
Unless disguised, under normal circumstances, it’s difficult for cultivators entering the Immortal City to hide from the Immortal City’s grand formation sensing.
Especially for the Whale Hunting Feast, the Immortal City’s grand formation has been operating at a higher level for the past few months. If the means of disguise and concealing magic power aura are too poor, they will all be sensed by the Immortal City’s grand formation.
“Nascent Soul True Monarchs are like dragons, their heads seen but not their tails. Since the Heavenly Sword Sect agreed to the appointment, there’s no need for us to care.”
Lu Changsheng said with a light smile.
In his opinion, it didn’t matter whether True Monarch Xuanjian and True Monarch Juejian came or not.
If they don’t come, he would simply hold a banquet, show a friendly attitude, and continue to develop steadily.
“Mm.”
Ling Zixiao lightly nodded and handed a list to Lu Changsheng.
“Tsk tsk tsk, it’s really grand.”
Lu Changsheng looked at the list of cultivators with names and reputations in Jiang Country and said with a click of his tongue.
However, thinking that he had even dealt with two Nascent Soul cultivators and killed three, he suddenly felt it was just average.
“Oh right, Wangshu heard about your matter in the Han Sha Illusion Domain and has been worried and concerned.”
At this time, Ling Zixiao seemed to think of something and spoke up to remind him.
“Okay, I’ll go take a look.”
Lu Changsheng’s thoughts stirred, the Three Treasures Transformation Pearl flew out from his fontanel, transforming into a figure identical to Lu Changsheng in appearance and aura.
For this banquet, True Master Changsheng, as the Deputy City Lord, naturally had to attend the appointment.
The Three Treasures Incarnation brought the exotic treasure [Thousand Illusions Mask] given by True Monarch Qingluan. Unless True Monarch Xuanjian uses divine abilities or techniques, otherwise, he absolutely cannot see through the situation of the Three Treasures Incarnation.
As for the main body.
Having broken through to Fourth Level Body Cultivation, comprehended the physical body’s small world, with no leakage of qi, blood, or magic power, and his flesh like a Spirit Treasure, as long as Lu Changsheng doesn’t fight with full strength or use divine abilities, even True Monarch Xuanjian would find it difficult to see through. There is no need to rely on the [Thousand Illusions Mask] to conceal his aura.
Moreover, among cultivators, forcibly prying into others’ situations through divine abilities and techniques is a certain taboo and generally won’t be done.
