Ugh--!
As Ning Chuan and Bai Zhi were talking, a violent whooshing sound came from afar.
The figures of three River Realm Heavenly King swept across the horizon.
The same two people and one beast.
However, it wasn't Ice Lightning Tiger's group.
Both human Heavenly King were High-Stage River Realm.
A man clad in golden armor, radiant as the sun.
A man wielding two massive hammers exuded an imposing aura, as powerful as a mountain!
As for that king-level ferocious beast...
It's a giant python!
It has three heads, and its entire body is covered in dense, dark blue scales that shimmer with a cold luster!
It soared through the sky like a giant space battleship!
" Ning Chuan--!"
Like the Ice Lightning Tiger, the three-headed giant python roared as it flew, saying, "I heard you had a glorious record in the Divine Martial Stele, why don't you dare to come out? Without the suppressive fluctuations, you've revealed your true colors!"
"Just a cowardly and arrogant young man!"
The three-headed python sneered mockingly.
In the woods, a void where no one can be seen.
Bai Zhi frowned slightly and said coldly, "Just a ferocious beast, spouting nonsense. In the heyday of the Prison-Suppressing Manor, it wouldn't even have the right to see you!"
"It's just a childish attempt to provoke you; ignore it."
Ning Chuan said calmly.
"Yes, I know."
Bai Zhi, with her aloof nature, quickly composed herself and said thoughtfully, "This is the second group of Yuan cultivators we've seen. There are definitely more Yuan cultivators who have entered this snowfield to hunt you down."
Ning Chuan nodded in agreement, saying, " The Heavenly King who arrives first should be the Heavenly King from the River Realm."
"Those Heavenly King of the Great River Realm, judging from the timeline, should not have left the Southern Hemisphere of the Heavenly Martial Realm yet, and are still some distance from the Blood Curtain Plateau."
After speaking, Ning Chuan sat cross-legged in the void, his eyes slightly closed, preparing to cultivate.
The Prison-Suppressing Heavenly Scripture had not tempered his body; it must have required him to trigger it.
Sure enough, as Ning Chuan activated the Prison-Suppressing Heavenly Scripture, a notification sound resounded in his mind.
" The Prison-Suppressing Heavenly Scripture can automatically temper the body continuously. Do you wish to select automatic tempering?"
"Yes."
Ning Chuan silently agreed.
The next moment, Ning Chuan's eyes flickered as he sensed his soul dispersing outwards and merging into his body!
At the same time, a peculiar fluctuation emanated from his body, beginning to merge with his soul.
His five senses became increasingly acute.
A powerful body subtly becomes a solid barrier for the soul!
Ning Chuan knew this in his heart.
This is a normal phenomenon when advancing to the Mortal Transcendence Realm.
Thanks to the perfected first level of the Prison-Suppressing Heavenly Scripture, he didn't need to try again and again. As soon as he started cultivating, he naturally entered the Mortal Transcendence Realm.
Rumble--!
Suspended in the void, Ning Chuan radiated light, his muscles and bones resonating, like a thunder dragon roaring, constantly annihilating the mortal matter deep within his body!
The aura emanating from it grew increasingly powerful!
Physical strength is increasing dramatically!
Advancing from the Foundation Forging Realm to the Mortal Transcendence Realm will result in a brief transformation.
As for how much the improvement will be...
It is positively correlated with various factors such as physical cultivation techniques and individual foundation.
The thunder subsided shortly afterward.
Ning Chuan clenched his fist, sensed something, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
Physical strength has more than doubled!
Basic strength reaches 500,000 tons!
"The speed at which my injuries heal has noticeably accelerated!" Ning Chuan checked his condition and was pleasantly surprised. "Most importantly, my strong body can withstand even more severe injuries!"
"In other words, my injuries have improved somewhat, and I'm no longer in a near-death state!"
Ning Chuan clearly sensed that he could mobilize more of the Force.
"Only..."
Ning Chuan's eyes flickered, and he shook his head inwardly, saying, "My current injuries are not enough to allow me to withstand Gu Yunyou's partial examination, and I cannot sustain prolonged healing."
However, Ning Chuan remained calm.
The transformation has been more effective than he had anticipated.
With a flick of his wrist, Ning Chuan retrieved a handful of sacred medicines for cultivation, quickly swallowing them to provide energy for the Prison-Suppressing Heavenly Scripture to temper his body.
Normal tempering is far less efficient than transformation.
In the blink of an eye, his physical strength surged by 300,000 tons!
However, given his level of mastery, his speed wouldn't be too slow either.
Ning Chuan hovered silently in the air, tempering his body while simultaneously erasing the black light and gradually healing his injuries.
Time slips away silently.
After a long while.
Night falls!
The Blood Curtain Plateau is not dark at night.
Above, beyond the atmosphere, the aurora borealis, forming a blood-red curtain of light, contrasted against the inky black night sky, making it appear even more profound.
It was like a deathly, blood-soaked sea suspended in the sky!
Beneath the sea of blood lies a snowfield ravaged by a biting wind, where scattered snowflakes occasionally swirl up, their coldness as sharp as metal.
In the stillness of the night, a chilling atmosphere grew even stronger!
Swish!
Suddenly, in the unseen void, Ning Chuan opened his eyes, which seemed to contain lightning, dazzlingly bright and so intense that no one dared to look directly at them!
"How's your cultivation speed?"
Bai Zhi stayed by the side, waiting.
Ning Chuan answered truthfully, "It increased my physical strength by about 50,000 tons."
Finally, he commented, "It's a bit slow."
"Less than half a day, and 50,000 tons is still slow..."
Bai Zhi was speechless, but halfway through her sentence, she thought of the Ning Chuan Prison-Suppressing Heavenly Scripture's realm and nodded seriously, saying, "It is indeed a bit slow!"
I think it's an energy issue.
Recalling his cultivation experience, Ning Chuan analyzed, "The energy of the sacred medicine is extremely abundant, and I still have quite a bit remaining in my body."
However, the Prison-Suppressing Heavenly Scripture seems somewhat mismatched with the energy of the sacred medicine, resulting in very low utilization efficiency.
"That's normal."
Bai Zhi faced Ning Chuan, thought for a moment, and explained, " The Prison-Suppressing Heavenly Scripture... no, in fact, not only the Prison-Suppressing Heavenly Scripture, but all body cultivation techniques are incompatible with the energy of sacred medicines."
Bai Zhi reminded them, "Only physical energy is suitable for cultivators who practice body cultivation!"
"Flesh and blood energy?"
Ning Chuan seemed to be deep in thought, recalling a refining method from the Prison-Suppressing Heavenly Scripture, and asked, "Energy from flesh and blood?"
"Yes, the stronger the body, the higher the energy of its flesh and blood. For example, powerful ferocious beasts, pure-blooded star beasts, and even the flesh and blood of other body cultivators. However, normal body cultivators would not engage in cannibalism."
Bai Zhi is used as an example.
Then, she reminded Ning Chuan, "Of course, you don't necessarily have to eat flesh and blood to obtain energy."
A purebred cosmic behemoth, its cubs can easily grow to tens of thousands of feet tall!
How long do you think you could last just by eating?
The efficiency is too slow!
It is usually refined using the accompanying methods of body cultivation techniques.
Upon hearing this, Ning Chuan looked at Bai Zhi and seemed to understand.
Bai Zhi smiled and added, "Body cultivation can be said to be the oldest martial art, containing the instincts of living beings."
So, to put it bluntly, if you want to accelerate your cultivation, a vegetarian diet definitely won't work; you must eat meat!
"It's hard to find."
Ning Chuan spread his hands, somewhat helplessly.
If this were on Martial Star, it wouldn't be a problem for him.
With the wealth of the Supreme Hall, it's no exaggeration to say that they could buy the Blazing Flame Lion, the leader of the ferocious beasts!
But now, he is all alone, trapped on the Blood Curtain Plateau.
I have money but nowhere to spend it!
"Roar--!"
The next moment, a powerful tiger's roar pierced through the cold wind and came from the darkness.
The taunting words of the Ice Lightning Tiger could still be faintly heard.
"Um?!"
Upon hearing the sound, Ning Chuan looked over, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, exceptionally bright!
