Chapter 119

"Thank you, Sect Leader. I will do my best to break through as soon as possible!"

Huang Pingzhang was moved to tears. In just a few short months, his lifespan was about to run out, and he now had a chance to become a grand cultivator. This was all brought to him by Gu Chen.

He didn't expect that he would get such great benefits as soon as he decided to follow Gu Chen, which made him want to do his best.

This debt of gratitude was too heavy!

"I'll be in seclusion for the next few days. Pass down the order that unless it's necessary, don't disturb me."

Gu Chen instructed Huang Pingzhang before returning to Mount Yunwu.

Although the Green Qilin Killing God had agreed to let him tag along, he had to pass a test first.

In the group where even the weakest assassin was a Silver Assassin, his current strength was simply too weak. In order to avoid being selected, he had to step into the Nirvana Realm as soon as possible.

After obtaining the Nirvana Pill, stepping into the Nirvana Stage was almost certain, and he was already somewhat impatient.

…

On the top floor of the Yunyue Restaurant, Gu Chen silently put it aside after he finished reading the insights left behind by the previous Cloud Smoke Sect Sect Leader.

After thinking for a long time, he flipped his hand and took out a bottle of Rebirth Pills.

In addition to the one for Huang Pingzhang, there were still six Nirvana Pills inside.

However, this kind of medicinal pill only had a significant effect on the first time. Therefore, if one couldn't succeed on the first try, it would be difficult to succeed later on.

In the Kunlun Continent, cultivation was divided into the physical body, Magic Skill, Nirvana, Longevity, and Deva Realm.

The Physical Body Realm was the process of tempering the body and unlocking the treasures of the human body.

When a divine sense was born and a divine ability was born from the physical body, one would have stepped into the divine ability realm.

From the Divinity Realm onward, elemental energy cultivation became mainstream.

In the Nirvana Realm, the Nirvana Realm contained Origin Energy.

If the human body was compared to a vessel, then elemental energy was what the vessel needed to contain.

The more Origin Energy a human body could contain, the stronger one's cultivation would be. This was common knowledge.

There were two ways to accommodate more elemental energy.

The first was to continuously expand the vessel that was the human body. The essence of the physical body realm was the pursuit of this.

However, there was a limit to the potential of an ordinary person's physical body. When the physical body reached a bottleneck, they could only change to another method — liquefaction of elemental energy.

The elemental energy in a divine-tier cultivator's body was in a gaseous state, so the amount of elemental energy that could be contained was very limited.

If he wanted to go further, he could only try to compress the gaseous elemental energy and liquefy it. This way, he would be able to contain even more elemental energy within a limited container.

This process was Nirvana.

This was what Gu Chen had learned from the notes of the previous Sect Leader of the Smoke Cloud Sect. He used the most simple and easy to understand principles to explain the essence of the Nirvana Realm.

Apart from Nirvana Level, the Immortal-Level after that would require the Primary Power to turn from a liquid state to a solid state and form the Golden Elixir.

It was not an easy task for the elemental energy within one's body to change from a gaseous state to a liquid state. Some unlucky cultivators might not be able to find the opportunity to break through in their lifetime.

As for the Nirvana Pill, it could greatly increase the probability of achieving liquefaction, which was why it was so precious.

Holding the Nirvana Pill in his hand, Gu Chen silently adjusted his condition and prepared to break through according to the Cloud Mist Sect Leader's experience.

The Nature of Heavenly Stars Art circulated, and the elemental energy flowed through his limbs and bones again and again.

Gu Chen made a hand seal, and the Qi of Heaven and Earth from the outside world surged in.

It was nighttime. Above the Yunyue Restaurant, in the vast starry sky, there were faint starlight sprinkling down, completely enveloping Gu Chen.

He was dyed into a golden man, surrounded by starlight, and looked extremely handsome.

A large amount of Qi of Heaven and Earth entered his body. According to the Cloud Mist Sect Leader's notes, the elemental energy in his body would be saturated in about 60 minutes.

At that time, he could start to compress the gaseous elemental energy and proceed to Nirvana.

60 minutes passed, and the elemental energy in Gu Chen's body was far from being saturated.

Two hours passed.

Four hours passed.

Gu Chen had not reached the saturated state as described in the notes.

"What's going on?"

He was a little confused. Before he was sure that he had reached the saturated state, he dared not attempt to break through.

He could only continue to wait. This wait actually took a whole two days!

During this time, he wavered several times, wondering if he had failed to break through from the beginning. However, he did not make any mistakes, and he was unwilling to give up, so he persevered.

After persevering for a whole two days, the amount of elemental energy that entered his body reached a terrifying level. Almost every strand of flesh and blood was saturated with elemental energy. At this time, the opportunity finally appeared!

He clearly felt that his body was about to explode. The elemental energy in his dantian was incomparably abundant, and the blood in his body was abnormally vigorous.

Gu Chen took a deep breath, took out a Nirvana Pill, and swallowed it!

Once the Nirvana Pill entered his abdomen, it turned into a rolling hot current, sweeping through his meridians.

Everywhere the pill's energy passed, the gaseous elemental energy that had expanded to the extreme was like boiling water, giving off sizzling sounds!

"Success!"

Gu Chen was overjoyed. He felt traces of gaseous elemental energy interweave together, continuously compressing. Under the stimulation of the Nirvana Pill's energy, it rapidly condensed into droplets.

All of this was finally the same as the Cloud Mist Sect Leader's notes, indicating that he was undergoing Nirvana!

"Looks like the records in the notes are not wrong. The reason why I took a whole two days to reach the saturated state should have something to do with my special body constitution."

At this moment, Gu Chen was enlightened.

As a vessel for elemental energy, a normal person's body constitution could easily reach a saturated state.

But people with special body constitutions were different. The potential they possessed was extraordinary.

Therefore, to liquefy elemental energy, people with special body constitutions would need much more Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi!

Understanding this point, Gu Chen's heart was filled with excitement.

"Normally, when a cultivator reaches the Divine Realm, after their body develops a divine ability, their potential would reach the limit.

"But people with special body constitutions are different. The potential that can be excavated from their body is too great. As their realm continues to increase, new divine abilities will be born!

"I am the Tyrannical Ether Bone. I wonder what kind of divine ability will be born after I break through to the next realm?"

Gu Chen was very excited. He withdrew his divine sense into his body and mobilized all the elemental energy in his body to fuse with each other.

Sizzle ~ ~

Waves of elemental energy fused, turning into drops of golden water in his body and dantian!

These golden water droplets looked like they were formed from starlight, holy and pure.

Buzz —

As if sensing the subtle changes in Gu Chen's state, in the distant universe, 810 stars released a continuous amount of celestial force.

Gu Chen's body sounded like a bell and drum. The 810 star acupoints corresponded to the celestial force and turned into golden vortexes, constantly devouring the massive amount of elemental energy around him.

In the sky above Yunwu Mountain, the sea of clouds surged like a tide, and all the energy gathered at the top of Yunyue Restaurant!

This process lasted for a whole three days. Three days later, Gu Chen suddenly opened his eyes!

Golden light burst out of his eyes, and every inch of his body seemed to be cast from gold.

When he stood up, his whole body was as dazzling as the sun. His aura surged wildly, far stronger than before, sweeping across the entire Yunwu Mountain!

The aura was so strong that countless disciples on and below the mountain trembled in fear. The sea of clouds on Yunwu Mountain retreated ten miles!
