Volume Four: Tianya Mountain Range - Iron Blood Emerges (I)
"Hoo," Zhang Xingfeng let out a long breath. That job was really inhuman. He hadn't had it this difficult when he cleansed his friend's meridians and marrow. He had truly realized the power of solidified innate Innate Primordial Qi.
With a gentle wave of his hand, Zhang Xingfeng removed the defensive barrier. Looking at Xiao Lin's wife, who was watching anxiously, Zhang Xingfeng smiled slightly. Hong Xiao immediately felt reassured; she knew her husband was alright.
Zhang Xingfeng looked at the eastern sky, where a faint morning light was already appearing. It seemed that it had taken him a whole night to clear Xiao Lin's meridians. Back then, it only took him half a night to cleanse the meridians and marrow of his brothers and relatives, and his skill level was still far behind his current level. But this also showed that Xiao Lin's gains must be significant.
"What a lucky guy!" Zhang Xingfeng sighed as he looked at Xiao Lin, who was diligently absorbing Innate Primordial Qi Top-grade Immortal Artifact, the Splitting Hail Axe, the terrifying divine artifact, the Heaven-Opening Technique, and Pangu's Six Revolutions Profound Body Art, and most importantly, Xiao Lin was born with his meridians filled with solid-like Innate Primordial Qi!
Back when he was a fetus, Zhang Xingfeng could only absorb ten times more Innate Primordial Qi than an ordinary person, while Xiao Lin absorbed at least twenty times more!
Xiao Lin's body jolted, and he slowly opened his eyes. He glanced gratefully at Zhang Xingfeng. Hong Xiao immediately ran over, her big, dark eyes wide open, and asked coquettishly, "Honey, how are you feeling? I was so worried!" Hong Xiao had really been worried all night, and now that she saw that Xiao Lin seemed to have succeeded, she naturally wanted to act cute.
Xiao Lin was refreshed and invigorated. The sudden increase in his power was one aspect, but most importantly, he could now cultivate the peerless divine technique that Pangu had given him! Of course, Pangu also taught him some tips and tricks, and imprinted his knowledge in crystals (i. e., jade stones), which are called Jade Slip, so that other cultivators could cultivate them. Now Xiao Lin no longer needed to worry about writing down the Six Revolutions Profound Body Art! You should know that the Mnemonic was quite extensive.
"Hong Xiao, go find a piece of jade, I need it urgently!" Xiao Lin said to Hong Xiao. Hong Xiao obediently went to get the jade.
Zhang Xingfeng suddenly laughed, "Great! Junior brother, I was really worried about how to pass on some techniques to you. My skill isn't enough to directly transmit them to your mind. I didn't expect that the Great God Pangu knew this day would come, and everything is solved!" Zhang Xingfeng hadn't laughed so heartily in a long time. Perhaps it was because the Six Revolutions Profound Body Art was such a pleasant surprise for Zhang Xingfeng! Or perhaps it was because the legendary figure Pangu had become his master that he was so delighted!
"Ah!" Xiao Lin's expression suddenly changed as soon as he took the Splitting Hail Axe in his hand!
Zhang Xingfeng knew exactly what was going on, and just smiled, but there was still a faint joy in his eyes, joy for his junior brother's extraordinary encounter.
"Honey, what's wrong? Don't scare me!" Hong Xiao, holding a piece of jade, saw her husband standing there motionless and panicked. She thought that Zhang Xingfeng had left some hidden dangers when he cleared Xiao Lin's meridians and they were now acting up!
Zhang Xingfeng remained silent, no longer looking at the couple, and turned to look at the rising sun.
Xiao Lin looked at Hong Xiao and laughed, "What could possibly be wrong with me? I'm just incredibly lucky right now. I've actually discovered the secret of the Splitting Hail Axe. Do you know who this Splitting Hail Axe belonged to before?"
Hong Xiao laughed and said, "You make it sound so mysterious, how would I know? You told me about this Pangu before, and I still don't know who he is!"
Xiao Lin revealed a smug smile, "He is the Pishuan Demon Emperor!"
Zhang Xingfeng whirled around, staring at Xiao Lin in shock, exclaiming, "Demon Emperor!" It's no wonder Zhang Xingfeng was astonished; a Demon Emperor was a peerless expert on par with a Celestial Immortal Monarch in the Immortal Realm, far stronger than even Nine Heavens Profound Immortal! Moreover, the Demon Realm was known for its brutality; anyone who became a Demon Emperor was a peerless hero! How could this weapon possibly belong to a Demon Emperor? Most importantly, while there were many divine artifacts in the Immortal Realm, there were also many in the Demon Realm. A Demon Emperor would at least use a lower-grade or mid-grade divine artifact! Top-grade divine artifacts were extremely rare, usually possessed by the strongest beings like Immortal Emperor or Demon Lords!
Xiao Lin nodded excitedly, "That 'Pishuan Demon Emperor' said that the Seven Fiends of the Demon Realm were being hunted down by Pangu. To prevent his cultivation Cultivation Method from being lost, he imprinted everything on the Splitting Hail Axe. When I reach the Golden Core Stage, the Splitting Hail Axe will recognize me as its master! Most importantly, that Pishuan Demon Emperor not only told me the cultivation method, but also a lot of techniques! I'm so happy!"
Zhang Xingfeng was taken aback: Could the techniques passed down by the Demon Emperor be imagined by ordinary people? Moreover, in his previous life, he was just a cultivator, and his status was worlds apart from that of the Demon Emperor. What Zhang Xingfeng envied most about Xiao Lin's good fortune was that the Pishuan Demon Emperor was obviously not like Pangu, who was cultivating alone, but rather an organization. Therefore, his techniques were beyond the imagination of ordinary people!
Xiao Lin's expression suddenly changed. He snatched the jade stone, and a flash of Azure Light Flash in his hand. Xiao Lin opened his eyes wide and exclaimed, "Heavens! This is so convenient! I've imprinted so much information into the jade stone in an instant! But the Spiritual Qi of the jade stone is now useless. This is the price to pay for the Jade Slip!" Xiao Lin felt a little regretful, as the jade stone was still worth some money.
Xiao Lin deliberately let out a long sigh, as if reluctant to part with the jade, and casually handed over the Jade Slip.
Zhang Xingfeng smiled, took the Jade Slip, and instantly immersed his Spiritual Sense into it:
The Six Revolutions Profound Body Art! A supreme Body Refinement Method Formula, it comprises six realms: Fire Tempered Body, Xuanwu Body Skyfire Body Seven-Colored Body, Seven- Immortal Undying Body Six Revolutions Profound Body, each further subdivided into six levels. The first realm, Fire Tempered Body, can be cultivated from the Golden Core Stage; the second, Xuanwu Body, from the Soul Departure Stage; and the third, Skyfire Body, from the Body Integration Realm. However, this third realm is also the most crucial, as the Skyfire Body requires cultivation using the Heavenly Fire of the Heavenly Tribulation at its final stage to achieve Great Accomplishment, making it extremely dangerous!
The fourth level, the Seven-Colored Body, can be cultivated starting from the Heavenly Immortal realm; the fifth level, the Immortal Undying Body, can be cultivated starting from the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm; and the strongest sixth level requires cultivation at the Immortal Monarch realm! (The stages of realm advancement are attached for reference: Acquired, Innate (Opening Light, Fusion, Grain Avoidance), Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Soul Separation- of-Body, Avatar, Body Integration, Tribulation Transcendence, Great Accomplishment ************ Celestial Heavenly Immortal (Heavenly Demon), Luo Tian Heavenly Immortal Xian (Devil Lord King), Great Luo Golden Immortal (Demon Lord), Nine Heavens Profound Immortal (Demon Emperor), Immortal Monarch (Demon Emperor), Immortal Emperor (Demon Venerable). ****************** Low-grade Divine Human, Mid-grade Divine Human, High-grade Divine Human, Lower Heavenly God, Central Heavenly God, Upper Heavenly God, Heavenly Venerable! ****************** Existence beyond gods.)
Of course, this sixth level is unnecessary for Zhang Xingfeng. The reason Pangu asked Xiao Lin to find another disciple was to see what the Limitless Power would become after further evolution. However, the Six Revolutions Profound Body of the sixth level allows the Limitless Power to completely fuse with the Immortal Undying Body! Therefore, Zhang Xingfeng can only cultivate his physical body to the Immortal Undying Body realm! The heavy responsibility of further evolving the Limitless Power also falls on Zhang Xingfeng's shoulders! What exactly is the Limitless Power after its evolution? No one knows yet.
Zhang Xingfeng suddenly looked at Xiao Lin with a look of astonishment. What was wrong? "Junior brother, these techniques... these techniques seem to be methods from the Demon Realm!"
Xiao Lin laughed heartily and said, "Senior brother, I know my own level. I'm mainly lucky to have reached this level. Only a master like you can fully utilize the techniques passed down by the Demon Emperor!"
Zhang Xingfeng was deeply moved but said nothing. Demon Emperor, what level is that? If his skill Jade Slip fell into the Cultivation World, it would definitely cause a bloodbath. But Xiao Lin gave it to Zhang Xingfeng so generously.
Xiao Lin suddenly burst into laughter, and a bright light flashed across his body. The Splitting Hail Axe had disappeared, and Zhang Xingfeng knew that the Splitting Hail Axe had been integrated into Xiao Lin's body.
Xiao Lin suddenly cursed, "Damn it, I actually carried this 2000-pound thing for four years! It's so comfortable now, it's really awesome!" Xiao Lin excitedly moved his hands a few times.
"Roar!!!"
"Call!!!"
A series of roars came from the east, startling Zhang Xingfeng, who couldn't help but ask Xiao Lin, "Junior brother, what is this...?"
Xiao Lin said proudly, "This is my most powerful weapon, the Iron Blood Army!"
"Iron Blood Army!"
