Bodyguard Golden Bell Shield, Diamond Glazed Body

Seeing that there was no one left to kill, Ning Chuan checked the system panel and found that he had gained a total of 721 Attribute Points.

For every 10 points added to Constitution, his Body Tempering Realm would rise by one level.

With 721 Attribute Points, his Body Tempering Realm would increase by 72 levels, bringing a terrifying surge in strength.

Thrilled, he opened the system panel and added all the attributes to Constitution.

His Constitution rose to 1,893 points, and his Body Tempering Realm rose to the 189th level.

His lifespan rose to 1,909 years. He had truly become an undying old monster.

Rumble...

Ning Chuan felt as though an ocean of qi and blood lay hidden within his body.

As his Constitution increased, his qi and blood surged higher and higher like a rising tide, crashing against the shore with thunderous roars.

Strangely, only Ning Chuan could hear this sound. Xiao Lian beside him seemed utterly unaware of it.

Ning Chuan felt that his strength had increased by an unknown number of times compared to before he added the points.

Yet the immense power hidden within his body could not be fully brought into play.

In particular, he had no method to control his qi and blood. His vast reserves of qi and blood could not be commanded, leaving his strength unable to fully manifest.

If I can find a cultivation technique for commanding qi and blood, my strength will rise hundreds or even thousands of times over!

After adding the Attribute Points, he saw that he still had three Sign In attempts remaining, and the current location could be used to Sign In.

Ning Chuan silently recited,

"Sign In once!"

"Ding, you have successfully Signed In at Bishui Dock and obtained the cultivation technique Bodyguard Golden Bell Shield. Learn it?"

The system's prompt sounded. He had obtained another cultivation technique.

Ning Chuan silently said, "Learn!"

A flood of information poured into his mind, and Ning Chuan was immediately overjoyed.

He had just been wishing for a cultivation technique to command qi and blood, and now his dream had come true at once. No wonder the system knew what he was thinking.

Body cultivation warriors possessed immense qi and blood, but cultivation techniques for commanding qi and blood were exceedingly rare.

Bodyguard Golden Bell Shield was a method for commanding qi and blood, tailored by the system specifically for body cultivation warriors based on Golden Bell Shield.

It taught one how to control one's own qi and blood, turning it into a great bell. Its defense was unmatched, and its uses endless.

Better still, this cultivation technique had no upper limit to its defensive power. The stronger the warrior's qi and blood, the stronger its defense.

After Ning Chuan finished receiving the information, the cultivation technique was firmly imprinted in his heart, as though it had become an instinct.

He felt that the qi and blood throughout his body now had somewhere to belong and something to govern it. It was no longer a heap of loose sand.

"This cultivation technique is practically tailored for me!"

Ning Chuan tried circulating his qi and blood, and a deep rumble erupted from within his body.

The qi and blood throughout his body churned, surging out like enormous waves and instantly transforming into a blood-red great bell.

Golden runes flowed across the bell, layer upon layer, densely packed, radiating faint golden light.

Those runes contained boundless mysteries, as though they were indestructible.

Ning Chuan had a feeling that this golden great bell's defensive power was simply absurdly powerful.

Sitting atop the high platform, Ning Chuan withdrew the Golden Bell, then released it again; released it, then withdrew it again, playing with it to his heart's content.

Xiao Lian stood guard beside him, staring so hard that her eyes nearly went straight.

There is no true qi coming from this little thief at all, yet he can release a Golden Bell Shield!

And this little thief's Golden Bell Shield seems far, far stronger than any Golden Bell Shield I have ever seen!

After trying it for a while, Ning Chuan had practiced the Bodyguard Golden Bell Shield until he was exceedingly proficient before finally stopping.

Next, he still had three Sign In attempts left, so he continued Signing In.

"Ding, you have successfully Signed In at Bishui Dock and obtained the cultivation technique Diamond Glazed Body. Learn it?"

Another body cultivation technique. Ning Chuan was somewhat speechless.

Can't I get an internal cultivation technique like Nine Yang Divine Art or something?

Supreme Body Cultivation System—its name truly was not for nothing!

"Learn!"

Another flood of information poured into his mind.

Diamond Glazed Body used qi and blood to temper the flesh. Once cultivated to the extreme, one would develop a Diamond Glazed Body.

The Diamond Glazed Body was supremely hard and supremely yang, incomparably fierce, and its attacks could shatter anything!

After receiving the information, Ning Chuan circulated his qi and blood to temper his flesh. Blood waves immediately surged within him, rumbling like heavenly thunder.

Within the ocean of qi and blood, boundless energy seemed to find an outlet, pouring madly into every cell in his body.

The power within his flesh began soaring at an inconceivable speed.

Buzz!...

Ning Chuan's flesh trembled, as though some mysterious and unknown transformation were taking place.

Every cell, every meridian, every muscle... became as pure as colored glaze, gradually blooming with a thread of seven-colored divine radiance.

His body was filled with seven-colored divine radiance, and a wisp of it passed through his skin, shining outward.

Ning Chuan sat cross-legged atop the high platform, transformed into a glazed golden body, seven-colored divine radiance blooming all over him.

A vast, bright, sacred, solemn, and holy aura spread outward!

Xiao Lian was utterly entranced by the sight.

But her realm was insufficient. She could only watch the spectacle and had no idea what Ning Chuan's condition signified!

At this moment,

Within the thick clouds above the two of them,

The Brown-robed Martial Emperor floated atop a white cloud. A tea table sat before him, and he was leisurely drinking tea high in the sky, his divine sense sweeping over Ning Chuan from time to time.

At the Third Grade Martial Emperor level, every movement carried immense might, to say nothing of floating in the air.

When Ning Chuan's body bloomed with seven-colored divine radiance, the Brown-robed Martial Emperor sprang to his feet with a start, crying out repeatedly.

"This... could this be flesh becoming a saint!"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"How old is this brat? Have this old man's eyes gone blurry!"

The Brown-robed Martial Emperor had completely lost his composed demeanor, his aged face filled with shock.

The teacup in his hand dropped onto the tea table with a clatter, and his eyes widened larger than bronze bells.

After examining him intently for a while longer, Ning Chuan's condition was exactly the same as the flesh becoming a saint described in ancient records.

"Could this brat be some peerless monster secretly cultivated by a major power?"

The Brown-robed Martial Emperor recalled every major power he knew of.

"No matter how great those powers are, could any of them surpass my Han Family!"

After his expression shifted between light and dark for a time, the Brown-robed Martial Emperor made up his mind.

"No matter what, this brat must be firmly kept in the Han Family's grasp!"

"If he cannot be controlled, he must be cut down by the roots at the first opportunity!"

"If the Leng Family obtains this brat and lets him grow, my Han Family will surely face great calamity!"

Having reached the Martial Emperor level, he had lived for an unknown number of years, read an unknown number of ancient books, and possessed vast knowledge.

When he had traveled the continent, he had once accidentally seen records of flesh becoming a saint in an ancient ruin.

When warriors cultivated, the flesh was like a bottle, while true qi was like the water inside it.

Before entering the ranks, warriors tempered their bodies with various cultivation techniques. This was called the Body Tempering Realm.

The Body Tempering Realm was a realm for laying foundations. The stronger one tempered the flesh, the more formidable the true qi cultivated in the future would be, and the greater one's achievements would become.

If one could temper the flesh into sainthood before cultivating true qi, then the true qi one cultivated would naturally carry saintly power, possessing unimaginable and terrifying might.

Not only that, reaching the First Grade Martial Saint level in the future would be as steady as a rock.

There might even be hope of glimpsing the still more mysterious and unfathomable realm beyond the Martial Saint.

Yet how difficult was it for flesh to become a saint?

It seemed that some kind of change had occurred in this world, making the cultivation of the flesh exceedingly difficult.

Among warriors of the present day, no matter how talented or monstrous they were, those who could temper their flesh to the tenth level were as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns.

Flesh becoming a saint had long become a legend on this continent.

On the high platform, Ning Chuan was immersed in cultivation while Xiao Lian stood guard for him.

He had no idea that within the clouds above his head, a terrifying old fox of a Martial Emperor was secretly watching him!
