95: An incredible surprise

Feng Keqiang did not know how much trouble his words had brought to Long Aotian.

In the third-level spatial world of the Treasure Pagoda.

After continuously consuming a thousand drops of Dragon Essence Blood, diluted ten thousand times, a majestic and violent energy, like a tsunami fifty to sixty meters high, forcefully broke through the shackles of the First Stage Immortal Body Realm.

Accompanied by a crisp “crack” sound, it also announced that Long Aotian's Physical Body had finally achieved Immortal Ascension at this moment.

He, who had been tempered by the violent energy into a bloody mess within a few breaths, instantly recovered from his injuries upon breaking through to the First Stage Immortal Body Realm, and an unknown amount of Impurities were expelled from his body.

If Long Aotian were to introspect his Physical Body at this moment, he would be astonished to find that when his Physical Body had previously broken through from the First Stage Mortal Vessel Body Realm to the Tenth Stage Mortal Vessel Body Realm, his bones had continuously evolved from a light silver to a deep silver.

After breaking through to the First Stage Immortal Body Realm, the bones in his body transformed from deep silver to a light gold. Long Aotian's entire demeanor also underwent a tremendous change, unconsciously exuding an ethereal, Immortal-like aura that naturally inspired awe.

This aura did not require Long Aotian to deliberately do anything; it emanated from him naturally... Long Aotian, whose Physical Body strength had broken through to the First Stage Immortal Body Realm, achieved Immortal Ascension of the Physical Body. At this moment, he could be called a:

Half-Immortal!

Feeling the immense power contained within his Physical Body, capable of World-Destroying force and a single punch strong enough to shatter a small mountain, Long Aotian became increasingly confident in his ability to traverse the endless Void Realm.

However, it was clear that he did not yet have time to ponder these things. Consuming a thousand drops of diluted Dragon Essence Blood in a short period not only allowed his Physical Body strength to break through to the First Stage Immortal Body Realm, but also, due to the frantic refining and absorption of energy from the Essence Blood by the Chaos Dao Art, his Cultivation, which had already reached the Ninth Revolution Peak Stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, also broke through the Bottleneck of the Out-of-Body Realm under the impact of this violent energy.

The “crack” sounds of the Physical Body Realm Breakthrough and the Cultivation Realm Breakthrough occurred almost simultaneously, a double blessing that greatly delighted Long Aotian.

The Chaos Dao Art continued to operate frantically, but having broken through both Physical Body Realm and Cultivation Realm, he did not absorb energy to further elevate his Cultivation Realm; instead, he continued to temper his Physical Body.

The fact that his Physical Body strength could break through to the First Stage Immortal Body Realm in the Lower Realm meant that it could continue to break through to the Second, Third, Fourth, and Fifth Immortal Body Realm. The greatest use of Dragon Essence Blood was to temper the Physical Body; using it to enhance Cultivation Realm would be a waste of a Heavenly Treasure.

Ao Zhan had not given him much Dragon Essence Blood, and Long Aotian did not know to what extent his Physical Body strength could be enhanced.

In short, it could not be wasted!

The Chaos Dao Art frantically operated, guiding this majestic and violent energy to continuously temper his Physical Body until the Physical Body completely absorbed all of this majestic and violent energy.

However, after absorbing this majestic and violent energy, Long Aotian was completely stunned.

“I... I actually muddled through and broke through to the Fifth Immortal Body Realm? And I even vaguely touched the Bottleneck of the Six Immortal Body Realm?”

Utterly shocked!

It was terrifying!

Long Aotian was truly stunned by the fact that after his Physical Body broke through to the First Stage Immortal Body Realm, the speed of his Physical Body Realm advancement not only did not slow down but suddenly surged forward, continuously advancing several Realms.

At the same time, he was completely bewildered!

What exactly was going on?

Why did it feel like breaking through the Physical Body Realm to the Immortal Treasure Body Realm was even more intense than breaking through in the Mortal Vessel Body Realm?

This completely overturned his understanding and his habitual logical thinking.

After a while, Long Aotian finally came back to his senses and analyzed carefully: “I have already used five thousand drops of Dragon Essence Blood, diluted ten thousand times. In fact, when I previously used four thousand drops to break through to the Peak of the Tenth Stage Mortal Vessel Body Realm, my Physical Body did not completely absorb the energy contained within those four thousand drops of Dragon Essence Blood.

The main reason is that Revered Master's Dragon Essence Blood is truly too Advanced, and my Mortal Vessel Body is truly too weak. The ability to refine and absorb it is only because my Chaos Dao Art is too domineering; it is a Heaven-Defying Cultivation Technique that originated and continuously grew with the birth of the Universe. No matter what kind of Dragon Essence Blood it is, it can all be refined and tamed.

But refining and taming is one thing; the fact that my Mortal Vessel Body is too weak, its foundation too poor, and it cannot effectively digest and absorb is another.

This is like a very weak ordinary person suddenly eating a pile of ten-thousand-year-old ginseng for a massive tonic. The result is that without a strong enough Physical Body foundation to absorb the medicinal effects, they bleed from the nose while supplementing and eventually die from the tonic... My situation is somewhat unique. The Chaos Dao Body and Chaos Dao Art stabilized the basic foundation of my Mortal Vessel Body. After that very Advanced energy was refined and tamed by the Chaos Dao Art, only a small part of the surface energy was actually absorbed by me. Most of the deeper energy circulated within my body.

Now that my Physical Body has broken through to the Immortal Treasure Body Realm, I finally have a strong basic foundation that can truly absorb them, thereby activating them and giving them a final outlet to continuously impact the Immortal Treasure Body Realm.

This time, it truly counts as absorbing them!

I can vaguely feel that very mysterious Law of Rule. Perhaps this is also why I couldn't truly absorb the Dragon Essence Blood when I was in the Mortal Vessel Body Realm?”

Long Aotian felt as if he had comprehended something again.

He had refined and absorbed the Dragon Essence Blood, but that was only superficial absorption.

Why?

Because Cultivators in the Lower Realm only barely began to comprehend the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth when their Cultivation broke through to the Tribulation Transcendence Realm, and what they comprehended was basically the Laws, the superficial aspects of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

However, what did the Dragon Essence Blood contain?

Void Rule!

Rule is more profound than Law!

Especially since this Rule had been elevated to an unknown degree by Ao Zhan!

The truly terrifying energy in the Dragon Essence Blood was not the energy of the Essence Blood itself, but the Void Rule power within the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth that it contained. This energy was so Advanced that Long Aotian, when in the Mortal Vessel Body Realm, could only refine it with the domineering Chaos Dao Art, but could not absorb it.

But now, with his Physical Body having achieved Immortal Ascension, he finally had a basic foundation capable of barely containing this profound energy. The Immortal Treasure Body Realm was continuously tempered by this profound energy, ultimately breaking through to a Realm that even Long Aotian found astonishing.

“This truly is an incredible, unexpected surprise!”

Long Aotian's heart was overflowing with joy.

Now, was he still afraid of the Void Realm wind blades when traversing the endless Void Realm?

With such a powerful Physical Body, if not for his Cultivation Realm not being high enough and his Tai Xu Divine Steps not being perfected, he estimated that he could now traverse the endless Void Realm and Ascend to the Immortal Realm.

Thinking of Tai Xu Divine Steps, Long Aotian's heart stirred: “With my Physical Body achieving Immortal Ascension, I can already initially come into contact with the profound and mysterious Rules of Heaven and Earth, especially the Void Rule.

And the advancement of Tai Xu Divine Steps is built upon the foundation of the Void Rule.

The stronger the Void Rule, the faster the advancement speed of Tai Xu Divine Steps.

That is to say, if I practice Tai Xu Divine Steps after coming out of seclusion this time, it will be very easy to advance to the fifth stage, or even higher stages...”
