[Year One: You calmed your mind and steadied your qi, beginning to assault the Organ Nourishing Realm that had stumped countless martial artists!]
[The immense Qi and Blood Power lying dormant within your body was mobilized to its fullest at this moment, surging like rivers rushing toward the sea!]
[Ice Muscle Jade Bone was fully activated. Your lustrous, jade-white skin and iron-hard bones simultaneously burst forth with dazzling radiance, illuminating your entire body like that of a deity!]
[Year Ten: Throughout these long ten years, you repeatedly deduced and fused the profound mysteries of all the martial skills and cultivation arts you had learned in your lifetime within your mind.]
[Every drill and every insight transformed into an invisible tempering force, continuously refining your body and pushing your skin, flesh, sinews, and bones toward one peak after another!]
[Year Thirteen: Thirteen years of uninterrupted, extreme tempering finally polished your skin, flesh, sinews, and bones to the limit of your current realm. There was nowhere left to advance!]
[Quantitative change triggered qualitative change. With your accumulation reaching its peak, the surging Qi and Blood Power finally found a new breakthrough point and charged inward with overwhelming force, targeting the most fragile yet most vital parts of the human body: the five viscera and six bowels!]
[Thank heavens! Ice Muscle Jade Bone once again revealed its miraculous properties! A gentle yet resilient radiance spread from within outward, like the most reliable armor, firmly guarding your newly tempered and still unbearably fragile internal organs, preventing them from being damaged by the rampaging Qi and Blood Power!]
[Year Fifteen! After fifteen years of arduous cultivation, your five viscera and six bowels finally underwent their initial strengthening and transformation under the repeated washing of your qi and blood and the protection of Ice Muscle Jade Bone's radiance. They became resilient and brimming with vitality!]
[A powerful sensation unlike anything before instantly filled every limb and bone! The shackles of your realm were completely shattered!]
Cultivation: Initial Organ Nourishing Realm! Lifespan: +30 years!
The golden words appearing on the Demon Strategy announced that Su Xian had officially stepped into a new world of martial dao!
He slowly completed his cultivation cycle, his eyes flashing with dazzling brilliance!
"This Ice Muscle Jade Bone... is truly heaven-defying!" Su Xian sighed with boundless emotion.
Only fifteen years!
And it had allowed him to forcefully cross the great-realm threshold that could trap countless prodigies for life, advancing from the Peak Bone Tempering Realm all the way to the Initial Organ Nourishing Realm!
If he had not possessed Ice Muscle Jade Bone,
he would probably have needed fifty years, or even a hundred, and might still not have succeeded.
"Initial Organ Nourishing is only the beginning. I must obtain the cultivation art for the subsequent stages as soon as possible!"
Su Xian carefully experienced the newly born power of the Organ Nourishing Realm within his body, his brows faintly furrowing.
At present, he could only rely on the most primitive method, using the brute force of his qi and blood to temper his five viscera and six bowels.
This process was not only incomparably dangerous, its efficiency was so low it was practically hair-raising!
If not for the miraculous radiance of Ice Muscle Jade Bone guarding him every moment,
he might have suffered a severe injury and lost all his efforts at the instant he first attempted to temper his internal organs!
A proper Organ Nourishing Realm cultivation art was the key!
The unique tempering method recorded in such an art would certainly be more refined and gentle, with a speed far surpassing his crude, unorthodox approach.
With the guidance of a cultivation art, the precious radiance of Ice Muscle Jade Bone could free up more of its power.
It would no longer need to be used entirely for defense, and could instead accelerate his cultivation!
Su Xian's gaze once again fell upon the lifespan column for himself on the Demon Strategy.
"It truly feels... like a lifetime ago!"
He looked at the number, his emotions surging.
"Just one short month ago, I had only a year left to cling to life. Yet now... I actually possess a long lifespan of ninety-one years!"
"The might of the Demon Strategy is truly terrifying!"
Su Xian was filled with emotion!
Without the Demon Strategy, he would probably have ended up in a cat's belly back then, transformed into a pile of cat feces.
Who could have imagined that in a mere month or so, he had gone from an ordinary man whose life hung by a thread
to charging forward like a raging gale, climbing all the way to the Organ Nourishing Realm, a realm capable of splitting stone tablets and severing refined iron with sheer strength?
At this moment, the power of his physical body was vast and unstoppable. Ordinary refined-iron weapons
would snap like rotten wood beneath a full-force strike infused with his qi and blood!
"Among the forces in Lingyun County, there doesn't seem to be any opportunity for me to easily obtain an Organ Nourishing Realm cultivation art."
Can't find the book by searching its title? You can try searching for the author's name instead. Perhaps it was simply renamed!
"Looks like I still have to return to Blackwater County! I'll have to make plans through the Blazing Sun Martial Arts School!"
"Once I obtain the cultivation art, I won't have to act with my hands and feet tied like this!"
His gaze seemed to pierce through space, turning toward Blackwater County.
He decided to return tomorrow and seek out an opportunity to scheme for an Organ Nourishing Realm cultivation art at the Blazing Sun Martial Arts School!
"Next, three matters must advance side by side!"
Su Xian quickly planned how to use his Demon Lifespan.
"The top priority, of course, is obtaining an Organ Nourishing Realm cultivation art!"
"Second, I need to find a Body Tempering Martial Skill suited to the Organ Nourishing Realm and further strengthen my physical body."
"Finally, all my existing martial skills must also be raised to the Organ Nourishing Realm level!"
With Ice Muscle Jade Bone within him, his cultivation aptitude was already worlds apart from before.
Once he obtained a cultivation art, the Demon Lifespan consumed by his subsequent cultivation breakthroughs would certainly be greatly reduced!
"Since I have this bit of time, I can raise my saber art first!"
A sharp glint flashed through Su Xian's eyes.
He pulled two saber manuals from his robe and placed them side by side with the Moon Shadow Twin Blades manual he had obtained earlier.
Three fourth-grade saber manuals, plus the Lightning Flowing Fire Slash he had already mastered to perfection!
"Assimilate and comprehend—now is the time!" Su Xian was brimming with confidence.
He intended to use the foundations of these four saber arts to fuse them together and create a fifth-grade saber art belonging to the Organ Nourishing Realm!
With a thought, his Demon Lifespan began to burn!
Sixty-three years of Demon Lifespan were exhausted in an instant!
The profound mysteries of the three saber manuals poured into him like an initiation from the Buddha, and Su Xian instantly comprehended them to perfection!
Countless exquisite saber moves, methods of channeling force, and killing intent flowed, clashed, and fused within his mind!
Su Xian drew the treasured saber at his waist, flicked his wrist, and casually unleashed several moves.
Saber light flashed like a bolt of silk, cold radiance bursting in all directions as the air let out sharp, tearing shrieks!
He nodded in satisfaction. The Moon Shadow Twin Blades had originally been a two-handed technique,
but in his hands now, a single saber could perfectly display all its essence,
its might no weaker than that of his former Flowing Fire Burning Wind Seven Slashes Technique!
"Everything is ready. Let the fusion and transformation begin!" Su Xian shouted softly, his eyes blazing with radiance!
Ten years of Demon Lifespan were invested once more!
The profound essence of the three perfected fourth-grade saber arts surged like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, pouring into the core framework of the Lightning Flowing Fire Slash!
A brand-new, even more powerful saber art began to take shape within Su Xian's mind!
It was as if a flash of inspiration exploded!
A brand-new fifth-grade martial saber art was born!
A line of dazzling words appeared on the Demon Strategy:
[Fifth-Grade Saber Art: World Cleaving Demon Slaying True Art!]
Su Xian stared at the name, sensing the even more violent saber-art profundities within his mind, imbued with an intent to annihilate demons and banish evil. The corners of his mouth curved into a satisfied smile.
With the might of this saber art, combined with his formidable Initial Organ Nourishing Realm physique and abundant qi and blood,
if he unleashed it with all his strength, Su Xian was absolutely confident.
Even the master of the Blazing Sun Martial Arts School might not be able to withstand more than a few of his saber strikes!
"Looks like... my talent for martial skills is even more heaven-defying than I imagined!"
