90: Dragon Blood Body Refining, Ten Ordinary Body

In Special Cultivation Room No. 28.

After setting up the Divine Sense Isolation Formation and Defensive Formation, Long Aotian entered the third-level spatial world of the Treasure Pagoda with a thought to Cultivate.

With Senior Sister Long Jing Tian present, Long Aotian was not too worried about the safety of his secluded Cultivation in the Eastern Wilderness Cloud Emperor Cultivation Tower.

Especially since Long Jing Tian's strength had reached the seventh stage of the Mahayana Realm, comparable to Shi Rufeng, the great Clan God of the Shi family.

Unlike Shi Rufeng, Long Jing Tian was taught by his Revered Master Ao Zhan, so she should also possess a certain level of ability to fight beyond her Realm; perhaps his convenient Senior Sister would even be able to contend with Shi Rufeng, Shi Ruhuo, and Wan Chuan if the three of them joined forces.

It is worth mentioning that Long Aotian expressed doubt about Long Jing Tian's claim that she had been alone since childhood; in a land with scarce Cultivation resources like the Eastern Wilderness, how could someone who was alone from childhood achieve such profound Cultivation?

Before Long Jing Tian met Ao Zhan, she was a Heaven-Defying Prodigy who broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm before the age of fifty; after Long Jing Tian met Ao Zhan, she said that ten years later, she would still break through to the Mahayana Realm before the age of fifty.

What does this imply?

Long Jing Tian broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm before the age of forty.

Long Aotian found it hard to imagine breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm in her teens, but in her twenties or thirties, it was very possible.

Long Aotian even had some doubts about whether Long Jing Tian was fifty years old now.

For someone who was alone from childhood to possess such Heaven-Defying Cultivation, it speaks volumes.

Long Jing Tian's background is definitely not simple!

Or perhaps, his Revered Master Ao Zhan wanted to adopt Long Jing Tian as his goddaughter, and it's even possible that Long Jing Tian's identity as being alone was arranged by his Revered Master Ao Zhan.

Long Aotian still held great respect for this Senior Sister; she was the first Disciple taken by his Revered Master Ao Zhan, so it wouldn't be wrong to say she was his Revered Master's daughter... Upon entering the Treasure Pagoda, Long Aotian first took out several high-grade Medicinal Pills from his storage ring to treat his injuries, and only then did he consider the matter of Cultivation.

“The reason I was able to survive this great calamity was thanks to my physical strength. After consuming Dragon Essence Blood and fusing with Dragon Bone Essence, and with the improvement of my Cultivation, my physical strength has already reached that of an Early Stage Spirit Division Realm Cultivator...

Physical strength also has Realm divisions. The Lower Realm has ten major Realms of physical strength, which are the Tenth Stage Mortal Vessel Body Realm.

The so-called Tenth Stage Mortal Vessel Body Realm means that the body's strength is equivalent to that of a first to tenth-tier Magical Artifact, or it can be said to be the physical strength of Vein Opening Realm to Tribulation Transcendence Realm Cultivators.

Of course, saying that it's the physical strength of Vein Opening Realm to Tribulation Transcendence Realm Cultivators is incorrect, because some Cultivators' physical strength cannot keep up with the speed of their Cultivation Breakthrough, while some Cultivators' physical strength far exceeds the physical strength that their Cultivation Realm should possess.

For example, my current Cultivation is Early Stage Nascent Soul Realm, but my physical strength is equivalent to that of an Early Stage Spirit Division Realm Cultivator, which is the Eighth Stage Mortal Vessel Body Realm!

It is difficult for an Eighth Stage Mortal Vessel Body Realm to remain unharmed under the attack of a Mahayana Realm Cultivator.

Unless one breaks through to the Ninth Stage Mortal Vessel Body Realm, attacks from Mahayana Realm Cultivators and ninth-tier Magical Artifacts will basically find it very hard to cause injury.

If one reaches the Tenth Stage Mortal Vessel Body Realm, unless it's an Immortal-grade Magic Treasure attack, otherwise, the powerful physical body will make it difficult for Lower Realm Magical Artifacts to harm it in the slightest...”

After being injured by Shi Ruhuo's slap and narrowly escaping death, Long Aotian suddenly began to prioritize physical strength.

Especially as his Cultivation Realm improved, he had no choice but to pay attention to physical strength.

Why?

Naturally, to Undergo Tribulation!

Cultivating Immortality is an act against the Dao, and after breaking through to the Tribulation Transcendence Realm, one must Undergo Tribulation, and many Cultivators perish during the process of Undergoing Tribulation.

The main reason is that their physical strength is too weak to withstand the baptism of the Lightning Tribulation.

Why is it said that only Cultivators who have been struck by lightning and can still jump around are considered true Cultivators?

One of the main reasons is that Cultivators who can usually survive the Lightning Tribulation, if their physical strength does not exceed their own Cultivation Realm, it will at least be at the same level as their own Cultivation Realm.

“During this secluded Cultivation, my physical strength must at least reach the Tenth Stage Mortal Vessel Body Realm, even if it cannot break through to the First Stage Immortal Body Realm.”

The Lower Realm has the Tenth Stage Mortal Vessel Body Realm, and the Upper Realm also has the Ten Immortal Treasure Body Realm. If his physical strength can break through to the First Stage Immortal Body Realm, then Long Aotian's physical strength would be equivalent to that of an Immortal in the Immortal Realm with the lowest Cultivation Realm, and Lower Realm Magical Artifacts would be completely unable to harm his physical body in the slightest.

“Body Tempering is a very mentally taxing matter, and most Cultivators don't know how to Temper their bodies. And Cultivators who generally Temper their bodies basically choose to use Spirit Medicine herbs for Tempering, which means taking Spirit Medicine baths. This is very expensive in Spirit Stones, and Cultivators who are not exceptionally wealthy would not use Spirit Medicine herbs for Body Tempering.

The rest are bitter Cultivators who self-abuse to Temper their bodies... It's actually very simple for me to Temper my body; I just need to continuously consume Dragon Essence Blood.

Among the Yao Beasts with the strongest physical bodies in the world, Dragons are one of them. Using Dragon Essence Blood to Temper the body can achieve astonishing results.

Revered Master gave me ten drops of Dragon Essence Blood, one of which was diluted into ten thousand parts, and I've only consumed a few ten-thousandths of it.

With just half a drop of Dragon Essence Blood, perhaps my physical strength can be Tempered to the Immortal level?!

As for Cultivation?

Although the energy contained in Dragon Essence Blood is terrifying, its main function is to Temper the body. A large portion of the terrifying energy is used to enhance physical strength during the Body Tempering process, absorbed by the body, rather than to improve Cultivation Realm.

Ten drops of Dragon Essence Blood can elevate my physical strength to a terrifying height, even potentially breaking through the limits of Immortal Realm physical strength, but it may not necessarily allow my Cultivation to break through to the Realm of Ascension...”

Taking out a drop of Dragon Essence Blood that had been diluted into ten thousand parts, Long Aotian directly swallowed it.

The next second, a violent energy surged through his body. Long Aotian simultaneously circulated the Chaos Dao Art to continuously guide this violent energy to Temper his body, refined and absorbed the energy within it, and simultaneously used two minds to study Void Formation.

“Previously, one ten-thousandth of a drop of Dragon Essence Blood, diluted into ten thousand parts, contained terrifying energy that almost made me explode. Now, I can at least swallow at least five drops of the diluted Dragon Essence Blood at once to achieve that effect.”

As his Cultivation Realm improved, Long Aotian also felt that his ability to digest one ten-thousandth of a drop of Dragon Essence Blood had become stronger.

Over the next period, Long Aotian continuously consumed Dragon Essence Blood to Temper his body in the third-level spatial world of the Treasure Pagoda. After Tempering his body, he then circulated the Chaos Dao Art to refine and absorb the remaining energy after the Dragon Essence Blood had Tempered his body, completely refining and absorbing the entire drop of Dragon Essence Blood. Thus, his Cultivation Realm also continuously broke through as his physical body continuously grew stronger.

Long Aotian started by consuming one drop at a time, then five drops at a time, and later six, seven, eight, nine, ten... twenty drops.

When Long Aotian began consuming twenty drops at a time, he had already consumed nearly a thousand drops of the diluted Dragon Essence Blood. His physical strength had also increased from the Eighth Stage Mortal Vessel Body Realm to the Tenth Stage Mortal Vessel Body Realm, and his Cultivation had broken through from the first stage of the Nascent Soul Realm to the sixth stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.

At this point, half a year had passed in the third-level spatial world of the Treasure Pagoda.

“I can still continue to improve. Let's see if I can break through to the First Stage Immortal Body Realm...”
