[Having gathered five types of sixth-tier Demonic Beast blood essences, it's time to refine the Great Sun Thunder Body. At that point, my Physical Body will be comparable to a Dou Zong's Early Stage expert.]
All the girls: "…"
Alright, the doubts just now were a bit too loud.
A Dou Ling needing to possess a body comparable to a Dou Zong, indeed, he should go into seclusion.
[Demonic Beast blood essences are extremely violent, and sixth-tier Demonic Beast blood essences even more so. Although I have the Thunder Gang Emperor Flame to protect my body, if I can't fully activate, fuse, and absorb the power of these blood essences, it will be difficult to maximize the bone-cleansing and marrow-purifying effect. Therefore, I need to rely on the power of a Formation.]
[On the Tian Xuan Continent, where I obtained this Body Refining Cultivation Technique, there are Medicinal Pills like Pure Origin Pill and Nirvana Pill, which are pure Origin Qi Medicinal Pills. Combined with a Formation, they can immediately activate a grand Formation to help me refine the blood essences, and it wouldn't take much time.]
[However, on the Dou Qi Continent, using Medicinal Pills to activate a Formation is too wasteful. I don't have Heaven And Earth Treasure for now. Fortunately, I have the Thunder Gang Emperor Flame, which can accelerate the absorption of Heaven and Earth energy, enough to activate the grand Formation.]
[It just needs more time.]
"No wonder he wants to go into seclusion." The girls suddenly realized.
Without resources, time itself becomes the resource.
Afterward, Chu Xiao didn't update his notebook, so all the girls began to get busy with their own matters.
"Let's begin!"
As the master of the Small World, Chu Xiao could control the changes in weather and terrain within the range of his Soul Power with a single thought.
Several fire veins changed their flow under his control, and then he released the Thunder Gang Emperor Flame to act as the Formation's core.
A "natural" Spiritual Qi grand Formation, controlled by the Strange Fire , took shape, resembling a five-pointed star.
"Go!"
Chu Xiao sat cross-legged beneath the Thunder Gang Emperor Flame, beginning to activate the five masses of Demonic Beast blood essence.
The five masses of sixth-tier Demonic Beast blood formed a small Formation, soaring into the very center of the grand Formation.
"Buzz buzz!"
As if inanimate objects had been infused with a Soul, the entire grand Formation emitted light, appearing to come alive.
Countless rays of light shot out from the fire veins, interweaving under the guidance of the Thunder Gang Emperor Flame to envelop the five masses of Demonic Beast blood essence.
The surface of the five blood essences began to show a special glow, but only a faint one, yet Chu Xiao's mindset was extremely steady.
[Day 1: Sitting in the grand Formation, accumulating.]
[Day 2: Sitting…]
[Day 3]
[…].
[Day 63: The Heaven and Earth energy in the grand Formation has already liquefied, and the five Demonic Beast blood essences are all close to the verge of atomization.]
Chu Xiao sat in that grand Formation for a full sixty-three days.
For these sixty-three days, he did nothing but use the grand Formation to accumulate Heaven and Earth energy, for the purpose of refining and fusing the five masses of Demonic Beast blood essence.
After all, once he fused all these blood essences, his Great Sun Thunder Body would reach Major Achievement, and his body could rival experts of the first few layers of the Nirvana Realm, which means being comparable to an Early Stage Dou Zong expert.
It's no exaggeration to say that if Yao Lao were to use his identity to cast the Imperial Rank Fighting Skill Ghost Possession, he could unleash the strength of a Late Stage Dou Zong expert!
Sharpening the knife doesn't delay chopping wood; he had plenty of patience.
As for the girls holding the notebook copies… their days were also quite fulfilling.
Xun Er returned to her clan, dedicating herself wholeheartedly to Cultivation, spending all her time in seclusion.
Medusa cultivated on the Green Lotus in the Small World, coming to Chu Xiao's side every three days to undergo the Thunder Gang Emperor Flame's burning. Although the two had no dialogue, their actions became increasingly harmonious, and she was now on the verge of Bloodline transformation.
Qing Lin broke through to Dou Zhe a few days ago, naturally "Awakening" the Bi Snake Three Flower Pupils, and immediately contracted the Twin-Headed Spirit Snake, with her strength beginning to soar.
Ya Fei, along with some direct descendants of the Xiao Family and some direct descendants of the Mittel Clan, converged. With Hai Bodong's support, they headed to the central point designated by Chu Xiao near Stone Desert City to begin constructing Lingxiao City.
Yun Yun had already entered seclusion within the Gate of Life and Death, her aura growing stronger and stronger, preparing to give Chu Xiao a surprise.
Little Fairy Doctor lived her days as usual, but was actually constantly searching for the Immortal Cave entrance, though she hadn't found anything yet.
Mu Qingluan and Feng Qing'er were working hard to become stronger, while Han Yue and Han Xue journeyed together to train in the Black-Corner Region.
Everyone was striving to improve themselves, but in their leisure time, they never forgot to read the notebook.
They were all looking forward to Chu Xiao continuing to reveal the future and bring Opportunities.
[Day 64 (Day 113 of Rebirth): Grand Formation completed, refining blood essence.]
Seeing this entry.
Medusa opened her eyes, her snake tail gently swaying, her body moving directly through the Void Realm, arriving in a blink of an eye at the place where Qing Lin was cultivating.
Looking down from this location, it was precisely the special valley where Chu Xiao was in seclusion.
"Boom!"
Under the catalysis of the extremely dense Heaven and Earth energy, the five masses of sixth-tier Demonic Beast blood essence seemed to boil, beginning to surge violently.
About half an hour later, these blood essences suddenly trembled, and internal flames surged out, turning into pillars of light that converged towards the very center.
Chu Xiao opened his eyes at this moment, his figure flashing to the center where the light converged, allowing the pillars of light to assault his body.
"Sizzle sizzle sizzle!"
Under the pouring light, Chu Xiao's clothes instantly disintegrated, revealing his perfect, muscular physique. The surface of his skin began to melt as if steel had encountered sulfuric acid, emitting a horrifying sound.
But as the Thunder Gang Emperor Flame descended from the sky, transforming into a layer of light curtain on Chu Xiao's surface, this situation instantly ended. The light from the pillars began to dissipate more quickly, even causing him to breathe heavily and his body to tremble.
Medusa and Qing Lin noticed that the red light was being absorbed by Chu Xiao at a visible rate, and his jade-like skin actually began to stir like flowing water.
"Ah, this feels good!"
Chu Xiao could feel a special ability appearing within his Dou Crystal; it was the Great Sun Thunder Origin, different from the Cultivation system of this world, leaning towards Body Refining and Origin Qi effects.
He felt his limbs, bones, and all his cells being transformed by a fierce power, becoming increasingly solid at a noticeable speed, with faint flashes of lightning appearing in between.
"Boom!"
Above the valley, the grand Formation floated.
Five fiery red pillars of light enveloped Chu Xiao, now fully operational.
The Heaven and Earth energy, which seemed about to liquefy into a small river, began to dissipate to catalyze the power of the blood essence, but a very small portion also fused into Chu Xiao's body, converging in his Dantian.
"Hiss~ Roar!"
As time passed, a layer of purple luster began to appear on Chu Xiao's body within the grand Formation.
Along with this luster, his Physical Body emitted an aura no weaker than that of an ordinary seventh-tier Demonic Beast, causing the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King and other Demonic Beasts to be greatly alarmed.
Were they Demonic Beasts, or was Chu Xiao a Demonic Beast?
How could someone whose Cultivation was only Dou Ling have a Physical Body comparable to a seventh-tier Demonic Beast?
"Crack."
Several hours later, the purple light became even more dazzling.
Almost in the blink of an eye, another seven days passed.
The lightning-like color on Chu Xiao's body also grew stronger and stronger, eventually condensing into a tangible substance, finally appearing to transform into a layer of purple crystal, yet beneath the crystal, lightning still faintly flickered, like the shell of a Purple Crystal Thunder Body.
"Crack!"
Under Medusa's gaze, a faint, crisp sound rang out.
The shell on the purple crystal figure's body suddenly cracked into numerous fissures, which were swallowed by the Thunder Gang Emperor Flame in an instant.
As these crystals dissipated, an extremely brilliant light burst forth, like the moment the scorching sun rises from the horizon.
[The Great Sun rises in the East, the Thunder Body achieves Major Achievement!]
A bolt of lightning flashed in Chu Xiao's eyes. In an instant, he appeared a hundred zhang away, pulverizing a huge mountain Peak.
His body was like a blazing sun slowly rising, and with every move, he actually stirred space, carrying a terrifying power capable of shaking mountains.
"Boom!"
Chu Xiao threw a punch to one side.
The powerful force transformed into a shockwave, stirring up ripples in space.
The shockwave landed on a hundred-zhang-tall mountaintop, easily grinding it into dust.
"Tsk, am I refining myself into a Heavenly Demon Puppet?"
With a thought, a Thunder Gang Emperor Flame pattern appeared between Chu Xiao's eyebrows.
Immediately after, the Dou Qi in his Dantian received some feedback, increasing at a visible rate to the Peak Dou Ling level.
After more than two months of seclusion, gaining a little over two stars at the Dou Ling level was quite fast.
After all, his goal this time was the transformation of his physique, and the accumulated Heaven and Earth energy was used for setting up the Formation rather than for absorption.
This increase of two stars could be said to have exceeded his expectations.
Moreover, in the past two months, he had not stopped contemplating the notebook, and his Soul Realm had also taken a solid step towards the Late Stage.
"But since I've reached Peak Dou Ling, why not take that final step?"
Feeling the power of his physique and Soul, Chu Xiao felt no pressure or barrier to Breaking Through to Dou Wang.
However, he lacked Heaven and Earth energy to convert into Dou Qi.
"Just in time, someone can help me."
Chu Xiao used his Soul Power to augment his Physical Body, waving it in front of him.
Space was torn open by the extreme force, and an area of one li was within Chu Xiao's perception.
He entered it, appearing directly before Medusa.
"Cai Lin, you've been preparing for so long, do you want to evolve?" Chu Xiao asked.
Medusa's heart pounded, and she nodded: "Let's do it."
Chu Xiao didn't hesitate, embracing Cai Lin's waist and taking her outside the Small World.
Bloodline transformation and evolution are Heaven-Defying acts, requiring endurance of the Lightning Tribulation's test.
However, a test is also an Opportunity.
"Cai Lin, I'm coming in."
