152: Five Elements Holy Body!

“Hmm?”

The young man was stunned by the old man's words.

“Blood Qi Limit? He broke it?”

A look of horror appeared on the young man’s face.

The Blood Qi Limit had never been heard of being broken in ancient times.

Even the Ten Saints of Great Xia couldn't do it.

Yet, this Lu Sheng did it?

This was a bit too unbelievable.

“Mo Qing, although your talent in forging is good, this kid’s Martial Arts Talent... is top-notch in this era!”

The old man looked at the cave, murmuring softly.

“This...”

The horror on Mo Qing’s face was extremely intense.

“But... even Wang Mu took more than twenty days to successfully undergo flame Body Tempering. I don’t think anyone can surpass Wang Mu!”

Mo Qing seemed to have thought of something, suddenly lowering his head and murmuring.

Of course, the old man could hear his murmuring.

A look of recollection appeared in the old man’s eyes.

“Wang Mu, that kid... some things shouldn’t be held onto too stubbornly.”

“Let go of what should be let go!”

Mo Qing’s body trembled slightly, and even his fists clenched at this moment. He said softly, “I will find him one day. I will make him pay the price!”

The old man took a deep look at Mo Qing, and a hint of complex emotion appeared in his eyes.

Then, he shifted his gaze back to the cave and smiled.

“As for whether this little guy can do it, let’s wait and see!”

With that, the old man disappeared from the spot.

Only Mo Qing remained, standing there. He looked at the cave, saw Lu Sheng’s figure inside, and finally shook his head.

“But teacher... no one can surpass Wang Mu in talent anymore!”

Mo Qing took a deep look at Lu Sheng, then sighed, and likewise disappeared from the spot... into the cave.

The scorching temperature continuously enveloped Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng was already drenched in sweat.

He walked with some difficulty towards the bronze gate. However, the further he went inside, the hotter the temperature became.

Before, with the blue crystal present, Lu Sheng didn't feel much when walking through the cave passage.

But now, without the blue crystal, when Lu Sheng stepped in again, this scorching temperature seemed to become the biggest obstacle, hindering Lu Sheng’s progress.

So much so that... under such scorching temperatures, Lu Sheng could only manage to walk with difficulty.

So much so that every step seemed to expend a great deal of Qi, requiring constant deep breaths to recover his physical strength.

A full hour passed, but Lu Sheng had only walked a little over ten meters since entering the cave.

The cave passage was not very long, only about a kilometer, but precisely... under such scorching temperatures, every step required immense effort, and one also had to endure the erosion of the scorching temperature.

Constantly wearing down one’s willpower.

This was the most unbearable part.

Even though he had only walked a little over ten meters, the scorching temperature had already made Lu Sheng’s skin somewhat red.

It was as if he had been scalded by boiling water.

“This temperature... it’s terrifying!”

Lu Sheng gasped for the extremely dry air around him, causing his lips to turn slightly white, even cracking.

“Flame Body Tempering...”

Lu Sheng fell into contemplation.

“Could it be like the Nine Stars Body Refining Art, where the latter absorbs the power of the stars between Heaven And Earth for Body Tempering, while the former requires me to absorb the power of flames between Heaven And Earth to refine my Physical Body?”

A thought quietly emerged in Lu Sheng’s mind.

Looking at the path before him, which seemed close but was actually like a chasm, Lu Sheng gritted his teeth and immediately sat down cross-legged.

Following the method of the Nine Stars Body Refining Art, he sensed the power of flames between Heaven And Earth.

However, that scorching feeling made it very difficult for Lu Sheng to calm down.

This made it even more difficult to comprehend the power of flames between Heaven And Earth.

It was only after Lu Sheng’s Body Refining Rank had risen to the Early Stage of the fifth level, and he had adapted for ten minutes, that he was finally able to calm down in this scorching world.

At the same time, he began to comprehend the power of flames between Heaven And Earth.

Closing his eyes, his willpower surged out.

Between the black Heaven And Earth, there was chaos.

After an unknown period, suddenly, Lu Sheng seemed to see a red flickering light spot in this dark Heaven And Earth.

Within this red light spot, an intense heat was brewing.

“Indeed, there is the power of flames between Heaven And Earth. By using the power of flames for Body Tempering, I can increase my Physical Body’s resistance to flames, thus allowing me to approach the purple fire and eventually achieve purple fire Body Tempering!”

The moment he sensed the power of flames between Heaven And Earth, Lu Sheng immediately became excited, as if someone had poured a basin of cold water over Lu Sheng’s head at that moment.

This feeling was incredibly refreshing.

With a direction in mind, Lu Sheng quickly guided the power of flames between Heaven And Earth into his body.

Lu Sheng only felt a scorching sensation throughout his flesh and blood, as if his body was being roasted over a fire.

It was fortunate that his Physical Body, at the Early Stage of the fifth level of Body Refining, was extremely powerful; otherwise, he would have easily suffered severe injuries.

However, as more and more power of flames between Heaven And Earth entered, and his flesh and blood were continuously tempered by the power of flames, this feeling of pain gradually disappeared.

Lu Sheng adapted even faster than when he underwent star power Body Tempering before!

In fact, Lu Sheng’s Body Refining Talent was not very strong; it could be said that the improvement of his Body Refining cultivation mainly relied on the feedback from the "Slaughter".

However... even so.

The existence of the Hundredfold Amplification meant that even if Lu Sheng’s Body Refining Talent was extremely ordinary, after being amplified a hundredfold, while it couldn't be said to be unmatched throughout Great Xia.

It was still enough to be considered a first-rate Body Refining Talent.

Therefore, he was able to sense the power of flames between Heaven And Earth so quickly and adapt to the flame Body Tempering method so swiftly.

However... after sensing the efficiency of his Physical Body’s strengthening, Lu Sheng frowned slightly.

At this rate, although he could gradually adapt to the heat of the flames, the time it would take would be enormous!

Could he really reach the inside of the cave and successfully undergo purple fire Body Tempering in half a month?

A hint of hesitation appeared in Lu Sheng’s heart.

However, this hesitation was quickly cast aside by Lu Sheng after only a moment.

To think of retreating just as he was starting was not his character.

He would go all out!

Regardless of whether he could succeed, he would first do his best!

Lu Sheng’s resolve gradually firmed. While absorbing the power of flames between Heaven And Earth, he slowly moved towards the inside of the cave... “He found a way so quickly? It seems his brain isn’t that dull after all!”

In a room, the old man lay on a rattan chair, with a light screen in front of him.

The scene on the light screen was precisely Lu Sheng’s figure.

“It’s just that this efficiency isn’t very good. At most, it can barely be considered a first-rate Body Refining Talent. Compared to those top-tier Body Refining Prodigies, this speed is still a bit slow.”

“How did he achieve the fifth level of Body Refining at this age? Or... is this little guy hiding his true abilities?”

The old man looked at the scene on the light screen, his eyes slightly narrowed, and a curious expression appeared...

Time passed bit by bit.

Ten days later.

Inside the cave.

Lu Sheng’s figure had already arrived at a position five hundred meters from the bronze gate.

In ten days, Lu Sheng had successfully traversed half the distance of the cave.

However, the closer he got to the bronze gate, the hotter the temperature became.

From an initial forty to fifty degrees, the temperature had now soared to nearly one hundred degrees Celsius.

At this temperature, an ordinary person would have already been thoroughly cooked.

It was thanks to Lu Sheng’s cultivation and Physical Body, coupled with these many days of continuously refining his Physical Body with the power of flames.

His resistance to temperature had greatly increased.

Only then could he remain safe and sound under such temperatures.

But even so, it was still extremely uncomfortable; his mouth was dry, and his brain was somewhat hazy due to the significant drop in moisture.

Lu Sheng laboriously lifted his eyelids, looking at the bronze gate in the distance.

The power of the flames in the cave was not overwhelming, but it still made Lu Sheng extremely uncomfortable.

"It's been ten days, and I've only covered half the distance. At this rate, by the time I reach the brazier, half a month will probably have already passed."

Lu Sheng's expression was slightly grim.

He hadn't expected the difficulty to be so great.

However, after a moment of contemplation, a glint of light slowly flashed in Lu Sheng's eyes.

"It seems I can only rely on Good Luck!"

Lu Sheng murmured softly, then his mind stirred slightly.

Immediately after, a virtual page, visible only to Lu Sheng, slowly appeared before him.

"Host: Lu Sheng!"

"Cultivation: Bone Forging Fourth Layer (10000) Body Refining Fifth Layer Early Stage!"

"Martial Arts: Luohan Fist (Perfection), Nine Stars Body Refining Art (Beginner), Hidden Dragon Formless Sword (Hidden Dragon Realm Late Stage), Barren Sword (Perfection), Thousand Flows (Beginner)"

"Martial Arts Talent: Level Up! (Purple) Fist Technique Master (Blue) Strong Strike (White) Tenacity (Green) Ronin (White) "Slaughter" (Purple) Good Luck (Green) Sword Dao Divinity (Red) Hundredfold Amplification (Red)"

"Refresh Chances: 10"

The Refresh Chances had already reached ten!

Just right... to exchange for Red Talent.

However, this Red Talent was ultimately random. If he could exchange for a Body Refining Talent, he would definitely be able to successfully temper his Physical Body with the flames in the remaining few days, relying on the terrifying power of the Red Talent.

But if he couldn't exchange for a Red Talent... of course, he could also refresh randomly again and again, which might increase the probability.

However, ordinary Blue and Purple Talents didn't offer much improvement to Lu Sheng anymore; Red Talent was the best.

Even if he couldn't complete the trial, having a Red Talent would still allow him to improve his strength.

Therefore... after a moment of contemplation, Lu Sheng ultimately chose to expend ten Refresh Chances to exchange for a Red Talent.

"System, exchange for Red Talent!"

"Ding, ten Refresh Chances deducted. Randomly refreshing Red Talent for the Host. Please wait..."

The familiar, cold voice of the System rang in Lu Sheng's ears.

"Ding, System refresh successful! Congratulations to the Host for acquiring Red Quality Talent — Five Elements Saint Body!"

"Five Elements Saint Body: Naturally possesses an extremely high affinity for the Five Elements power between Heaven And Earth. Body Tempering with the power of the Five Elements increases efficiency a Hundredfold!"

The moment the System's text appeared before Lu Sheng, a brilliant radiance instantly burst forth from his eyes.

Five Elements Saint Body!

Body Refining Talent!!

Lu Sheng had never imagined his Good Luck would be so terrifying.

However, after glancing at his Good Luck Talent, which was only Green Rank, Lu Sheng felt relieved.

"Although this Good Luck Talent is only Green Quality, its uniqueness is truly somewhat unbelievable!"

Lu Sheng didn't think this Good Luck was his own, nor did he think the System had sensed his inner thoughts.

The only explanation... could only lie with this Green Rank Good Luck Talent.

Only then could he exchange for the Martial Arts Talent he wanted, one suitable for him.

"With the Red Quality Five Elements Saint Body..."

Lu Sheng slowly closed his eyes. He felt as if an extremely subtle power was surging into his Physical Body from between Heaven And Earth, as if it were transforming his entire Physical Body.

And under this transformation, different powers seemed to constantly float around him between Heaven And Earth, emitting colorful glows.

The power of the flames, which had been difficult to draw upon before, now rushed towards his Physical Body.

"Is this... the Five Elements Saint Body?"

Feeling the changes in his Physical Body and the Five Elements power constantly floating around him.

Lu Sheng's lips curved slightly. With just a thought, the extremely rich power of the flames from between Heaven And Earth instantly surged into his Physical Body.

However, the scorching sensation from before did not return. These extremely violent flame powers had, at this moment, become much gentler.

If the previous flame power was like a pack of violent wolves, then the current flame power within Lu Sheng's Physical Body was as docile as a lamb.

Extremely gentle.

As the power of the flames gradually became gentle, Lu Sheng's tolerance for flames also increased significantly.

Furthermore, his entire Physical Body was constantly strengthening its resistance to flames under the tempering of these flame powers.

The surrounding temperature, at this moment, could no longer bother Lu Sheng.

This feeling... was like walking on flat ground.

Lu Sheng slowly opened his eyes, stood up, and slowly walked towards the location of the bronze gate.

One step, two steps... until Lu Sheng had walked dozens of steps, the surrounding temperature continuously increased, but under the warm power of the flames, these temperatures seemed to no longer be able to trap Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng's lips curved slightly, forming an arc.

He then continued to walk towards the location of the bronze gate. This time, even without the blue crystal, Lu Sheng did not feel the slightest heat.

Five hundred meters!

Four hundred meters!

Three hundred meters!

Lu Sheng's distance from the bronze gate was continuously closing.

"Impossible!"

At the same time, in a room, the white-haired, burly old man lay on a rattan chair, his gaze fixed on the image of Lu Sheng on the light screen.

In an instant, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he actually leaped directly from the rattan chair, staring intently at the scene on the screen.

He saw that Lu Sheng, who had been extremely uncomfortable just moments before, suddenly seemed to adapt to the scorching temperature between Heaven And Earth after only a few seconds of closing his eyes.

He quickly walked towards the bronze gate.

In just a few minutes, he was already less than a hundred meters from the bronze gate!

Such a scene, even with the old man's extensive experience, couldn't help but shock him.

What's going on?

He was struggling to move forward ten days ago, so why can he suddenly walk as if on flat ground today?

"Did the power of the flames decrease?"

The old man frowned deeply. In an instant, his figure appeared beside the brazier in the deepest part of the cave. He stretched out his hand and probed into the purple flames.

But after feeling the temperature of the flames, the old man's frown deepened.

The power of the flames had not decreased!

Then why... The old man fell into deep thought.

At this moment, he could already vaguely see Lu Sheng's figure through the bronze gate.

"Could it be that this little fellow was truly hiding his strength before?"

The old man was somewhat perplexed; he really couldn't think of any other reason to explain the scene he had just witnessed.

There was no Heaven And Earth Treasure in this world that could suddenly make a person adapt to the power of flames.

Could he have suddenly had an Epiphany?

Therefore, in the end, the old man attributed all of this to Lu Sheng hiding his strength before, and only now, seeing that time was running out, did he decide to expose his Talent and walk towards the brazier.

However, this reason still made the old man grimace slightly.

Hiding his strength... but what was Lu Sheng hiding?

The old man stood rooted, lost in thought.

Soon, the bronze gate vibrated slightly, and then, the bronze gate was seen slowly being pushed open.

Lu Sheng's figure also appeared before the bronze gate.

Only then did the old man raise his head and look at Lu Sheng, his eyes filled with suspicion.

Lu Sheng was also startled when he saw the old man, clearly not expecting the old man to still be in the cave.

Suddenly, Lu Sheng felt his eyes blur, and then the old man appeared before him. Before Lu Sheng could react,

The old man had already extended a finger and placed it on his wrist.
