20: Chapter 20: The Crystal Body, in Seclusion!

Without overthinking, Lin Feng returned to his bed and sat cross-legged, facing his palms and feet toward the sky to begin meditating, carefully savoring the gains brought to him by the gold of life.

The gold of life was even more powerful than he had imagined; with the current strength of his Physical Body, if he were to encounter a Heavenly Tribulation again, he would absolutely not be as wretched as last time.

As he channeled the Soul Power within his body, the sense of restriction became increasingly distinct.

This made Lin Feng even more certain that his current physical strength had indeed encountered a Bottleneck; only by breaking through it could he step into a higher Realm.

Thinking of this, he put on his clothes and immediately opened the door, preparing to go find Sect Master Du Busi to seek clarification.

However, Lin Feng hadn't walked many steps before he encountered Jin Peng in the corridor.

"Elder Jin, are you here to see me?"

Lin Feng looked at Jin Peng, who was walking toward his room, raised an eyebrow, and said.

After seeing Lin Feng, Jin Peng stood frozen in place, his eyes filled with immense astonishment. This vital energy...

At this moment, in his vision, the vital energy within Lin Feng was like a Dragon, almost completely impossible to suppress, gushing out like a fountain, painting the sky with a thousand miles of crimson clouds.

"Your aura?!"

Jin Peng's feet slid, and he arrived at Lin Feng's side in an instant, grabbing his arm and rolling up his sleeve, revealing an arm that was white with a reddish tinge, crystalline and jade-like.

Lin Feng's expression was stunned; he didn't quite understand why Elder Jin was reacting so strongly...

"That's right, it really is like this!"

Jin Peng laughed excitedly, his eyes brimming with tears; his excited appearance was as if he had witnessed a miracle.

"Elder Jin, what's wrong with you?" Lin Feng asked in astonishment.

However, Jin Peng did not answer him; instead, he pulled his arm and rushed toward the side corridor, heading for the inner hall.

How powerful was Jin Peng's strength? He didn't even need a minute to carry someone across the entire Body Sect.

After a few breaths, Jin Peng brought Lin Feng to the inner hall and found Sect Master Du Busi.

The moment he saw him, Jin Peng pulled Lin Feng forward and said excitedly to Sect Master Du Busi, "Sect Master!"

Sect Master Du Busi watched the two of them looking flustered and couldn't help but ask, "Old Jin, why are you in such a panic?"

Jin Peng didn't speak, his old face beaming with joy, "Sect Master, haven't you noticed anything different about Xiao Feng?"

Hearing this, Sect Master Du Busi looked at Lin Feng seriously, but with just this one glance, his expression changed instantly.

His figure flashed, appearing before the two of them. With the same movement as Jin Peng, an arm crystalline like jade was exposed to the air, with vital energy gushing forth.

Even through his clothes, the feeling of gushing vital energy dissipated into the air like a tide.

"Xiao Feng, what exactly happened in the middle of this?"

Lin Feng looked blank and shook his head gently, "I'm not very sure. Ever since I returned to my room after lifting the cauldron, I felt my eyelids drooping, and before long, I fell asleep."

"When I woke up again, my body had become like this. Moreover, when I try to mobilize my vital energy, I can always feel a strong sense of restriction, just like a drowning person falling into the ocean..."

After Lin Feng finished speaking, he stared at Sect Master Du Busi with curious eyes, "Sect Master, what exactly is happening to my body?"

After listening to Lin Feng's description, an impossible answer formed in Sect Master Du Busi's mind.

His expression was very serious, "Xiao Feng, do you really feel a strong sense of restriction in your body?"

Lin Feng nodded with great certainty.

Sect Master Du Busi took a deep breath and looked at Jin Peng; from the other's eyes, he saw the same trepidation and excitement as his own.

"If I'm not mistaken, your body is showing signs of a second Awakening!"

Lin Feng was very shocked, his palms trembling slightly, "Sect Master, isn't it said that only Body Martial Soul can undergo a second Awakening? Why..."

Sect Master Du Busi shook his head, "I'm not very clear about this situation either, but your body is indeed transforming in this direction; perhaps it is related to certain traits you possess."

"Think carefully, what have you done during this period?" Sect Master Du Busi stared at him intensely, his eyes shining.

Lin Feng lowered his gaze, his expression lost in thought, but then he shook his head.

He looked at Sect Master Du Busi, his voice filled with doubt, "I don't know, it's just... how is this possible? I don't have a Body Martial Soul!"

"Sect Master, will this situation affect my future path of Cultivate?" Lin Feng took a deep breath and said with a serious expression.

Sect Master Du Busi and Jin Peng exchanged a glance, then withdrew their gaze and said slowly to Lin Feng:

"It will have an effect." Lin Feng's expression changed instantly.

But immediately after, Sect Master Du Busi's expression turned thoughtful, and he continued, "But as long as you break through this layer of restriction and complete the second Awakening, it will be fine!"

"May I ask, Sect Master, what should I do?" Lin Feng's face lit up with joy, and he asked hurriedly.

"It's very simple; just break through this layer of restriction, and the key to breaking this restriction is to complete the second Awakening!"

Sect Master Du Busi clenched his hand into a fist and said with a firm tone.

"Old Jin, you explain the secret of the Body to Xiao Feng; perhaps even the Heavens do not wish to see our Body Sect decline like this."

He looked at Jin Peng and said in a low voice.

"The so-called secret of the Body lies in the method of our Body Sect's second Awakening; the core is hidden in the two keywords: near-death pressure and resource accumulation!"

"Only on the edge of life and death will the body burst forth with its greatest potential in order to survive."

Jin Peng looked at Lin Feng, "After Awakening, you can determine your Rank based on the color of the light and shadow behind you; the difference in strength is immense."

"Black Iron Rank can increase by thirty percent, Bronze Rank by sixty percent, and Silver Rank can increase by one hundred percent."

"So, after a Silver Rank Awakening, one can double their own strength?"

Jin Peng nodded, "However, Silver Rank Awakening is not the end. Above Silver, there is the even more formidable Gold Rank Awakening, which can increase one's strength by a full three times!"

"And this Realm is basically only reachable by the Sect Master of the Body Sect throughout the generations, its power is extremely Heaven-Defying!"

"So, the Sect Master has a Gold Rank Awakening?"

Lin Feng suddenly realized.

So that was it, the second Awakening... I never thought that I would really embark on the path of the second Awakening!

After Jin Peng finished speaking, Sect Master Du Busi added, "You just entered the Blood Spring not long ago; your resource accumulation is already sufficient."

"Next, it is to linger on the edge of life and death, using your survival instinct to trigger the mystery of the Body and complete the second Awakening."

"I understand. I ask the Sect Master to assist me in my Breakthrough."

Lin Feng immediately understood Sect Master Du Busi's intention, his tone very firm.

However, Sect Master Du Busi shook his head.

Lin Feng was surprised, "How come? Am I not capable?"

"That's not it." Sect Master Du Busi's expression was strange, and he looked at him with a peculiar gaze.

"The main thing is... completing the second Awakening is not an overnight process; it is a very long process. Are you sure you are ready?"

Lin Feng's voice stalled. A long time? Could it take one or two months to complete the second Awakening?

Sect Master Du Busi seemed to know what he was thinking and nodded:

"You guessed correctly. Your current body is crystalline like jade and has reached the Glazed Body Realm recorded by the Ancestral Masters of the Body Sect throughout the generations. And the next step for the Glazed Body is the legendary Invincible Golden Body."

Speaking of this, his tone could not help but sigh:

"I really didn't expect that when the Physical Body reaches a certain limit, it can truly be cultivated into a Glazed Body. I used to treat it as a legend; I didn't expect it to actually be true..."

Lin Feng's expression was somewhat silent. He pinched his arm gently and murmured to himself in his heart, "So, is this the Glazed Body?"

"Sect Master, has no one been able to reach this Realm since the Body Sect began keeping records?"

Sect Master Du Busi smiled bitterly, his voice somewhat melancholy, "No. The conditions to reach this Realm are too harsh. Just the most important point alone—to Cultivate the Glazed Body, one must have a flawless Physical Body—is enough to stump countless people!"

"Not to mention that after achieving a flawless Physical Body, one must also raise their own vital energy to the limit to be able to Cultivate the Glazed Body."

After listening to Sect Master Du Busi's words, Lin Feng realized in hindsight.

It turned out that he had inadvertently fulfilled all the conditions to achieve the Glazed Body, and by some stroke of luck, had cultivated the Glazed Body.

"Then, what Realm does the Glazed Body correspond to?" Lin Feng asked.

He was very sure that this was definitely not a second Awakening of his Spirit, because he did not feel any unusual movement from his two Spirits.

And that sense of restriction was acting directly on his Physical Body, so he guessed that this should be the sensation after his Physical Body Breakthrough.

"The Glazed Body corresponds to a Silver Rank Awakening, while the legendary Invincible Golden Body is equivalent to a Gold Rank Awakening... or even stronger!"

After saying the second half of the sentence, Sect Master Du Busi paused for a moment, then said.

No one has ever seen the legendary Realm, but if it is truly a Physical Body Breakthrough, according to the Body Sect's experiments throughout the generations, the power must be higher than a Gold Rank second Awakening!

"I understand, Sect Master."

Lin Feng took a deep breath, his gaze resolute, "I request to go into seclusion. After I break through, take me to complete the second Awakening of my Spirit!"

"Good, haha, I really didn't misjudge you!" Sect Master Du Busi laughed heartily, his eyes filled with excitement. Invincible Golden Body, really...

He suppressed the restless emotions in his heart and tried his best to keep his expression steady.

"Old Jin, take Xiao Feng to seclusion. Having just broken through to the Glazed Body, he needs to let his body and Spirit completely complete their Fusion."

"Yes, Sect Master."

Jin Peng said respectfully, and after speaking, he took Lin Feng and left the inner hall.
