426: Chapter 426 Body Refinement Division!!

Qin Yan calmed his mind and began reviewing the common knowledge regarding the Fourth-Rank Body Tempering Realm.

Similar to the Qi Refining Realm, the Body Tempering Realm also has clear stage divisions and cultivation objectives.

And the fourth realm of Body Tempering is precisely named the 'Body Tempering Realm'.

The name is simple and unadorned, but its function is crucial—laying the foundation.

At this realm, what a martial artist needs to do is to temper their entire body day and night using Body Tempering techniques.

This is a tedious and lengthy process with no shortcuts.

But once the Body Tempering Realm is cultivated to its extreme, tempering the whole body to a 'limit' state, the martial artist's physical body strength will undergo a qualitative transformation—

At that point, bare-handed, one could contend with spirit weapons!

Wherever fists and feet strike, metal and stone shall part!

A true 'humanoid ferocious beast'!

Above the Body Tempering Realm is the fifth realm—the Meridian Opening Realm.

The core of this realm lies in unblocking the thirty-six major meridians throughout the body, making them unobstructed.

Once the meridians are opened, the speed and efficiency of Qi and blood circulation will increase manifold; a martial artist's explosive power, endurance, and recovery will all step onto a brand-new level.

The sixth realm is called the Aperture Awakening Realm.

Within the human body, besides the well-known meridians, there are also countless hidden 'apertures'.

These apertures are like energy nodes. If one can awaken and open them, they can store even more immense Qi and blood.

Erupt with even more terrifying power, and can even give rise to all sorts of incredible special abilities.

And the seventh realm of Body Tempering corresponds to the Qi Refining seventh-rank 'Grandmaster Realm'—

The 'Golden Body Realm'!

Upon reaching that realm, the physical body will undergo a qualitative leap, initially condensing an 'Indestructible Golden Body'.

Every move and gesture carries the force of ten thousand jun; ordinary attacks may not even break through its defense!

Once the Golden Body manifests, it is impervious to all techniques, and combat power surges!

That is the hallmark of seventh-rank powerhouses and the lifelong pursuit of countless Body Tempering martial artists.

"Unfortunately, this breakthrough didn't bring any other unexpected gains."

Qin Yan carefully examined the panel before him, unconsciously shaking his head slightly.

The state of the Indestructible Blood Demon Body remained at the initial achievement level.

It hadn't evolved as expected with the realm advancement, nor had he gained any other mysterious abilities.

What made him even more disappointed was that this breakthrough didn't come with any powerful martial techniques passed down like when he cultivated the 'Five Elements Primordial Scripture' before.

However, upon second thought, Qin Yan quickly came to terms with it.

After all, the 'Five Elements Primordial Scripture' was a mature technique painstakingly created by predecessors.

Having been perfected and supplemented by countless generations, it contained a complete martial arts system.

When he received the inheritance back then, it was perfectly normal to also acquire some accompanying martial technique inheritances.

Those martial techniques were the crystallization of the wisdom of predecessors, combat skills refined through countless trials.

But the 'Indestructible Blood Demon Scripture' was completely different.

This technique did not come from any predecessor.

Rather, it evolved spontaneously from his innate origin, based on the process of him opening his body's secret treasures!

This was a path unique to him, a cultivation method tailored for him by the heavens.

Since it was an innate evolution, naturally it couldn't be as comprehensive as a mature technique, prepared for everything.

But such a technique was the most compatible with him.

For example, by cultivating the 'Indestructible Blood Demon Scripture', he obtained a unique constitution like the Indestructible Blood Demon Body.

Yet, despite cultivating the 'Five Elements Primordial Scripture' for so long, although his combat power soared and his cultivation advanced, he hadn't gained any special constitution bonuses.

Lost in thought, Qin Yan speculated that unless one day he could cultivate this technique to its ultimate peak,

touching that legendary realm, perhaps then he could also rely on the power of the five elements to evolve a unique Five Elements Constitution of his own.

Of course, all of this was still far too distant for him now.

Even a Seventh-Grade Grandmaster was an existence he needed to look up to, let alone those higher-level realms?

Qin Yan gathered his wandering thoughts, sat cross-legged again, closed his eyes, and calmly focused on carefully comprehending the detailed information contained within the 'Indestructible Blood Demon Scripture'.

Although this technique was cultivated by himself, there were still too many mysteries within it waiting for him to discover and understand.

Time quietly passed in the silent cultivation.

August 26th.

Early in the morning, as the sky was just beginning to lighten with the first hint of dawn, Qin Yan pushed open the stone door of the Alchemy Room and walked out to meet the cool morning breeze.

Yesterday, he had formally applied to Dean Xiao Shan to go to the peripheral frontlines for practical combat training.

Xiao Shan didn't ask too many questions and immediately agreed, only advising him to be careful.

Presumably, the Dean also understood that true powerhouses cannot be raised in a greenhouse.

Only amidst blood and fire can the sharpest blade be forged.

At this moment, Qin Yan was draped in a loose black robe, the hood covering his face, revealing only his sharply defined jawline.

He walked with firm steps towards the direction of the peripheral battlefield.

The reason for wearing this black robe was simple—

After that night's martial contest where three spears defeated three geniuses, his name and appearance had likely already spread throughout the entire Zhenhai Battlefield.

Whether human or sea race, many would recognize this face.

Especially on the sea race side, there were probably countless eyes wishing they could devour him alive.

To avoid unnecessary trouble and for his own safety, keeping a low profile was truly necessary.

As for why he insisted on going to the peripheral battlefield, the reason was even more direct—he wanted to hunt alien races and obtain blood Qi!

Cultivating the 'Indestructible Blood Demon Scripture' required an enormous amount of blood Qi.

This technique was divided into two major parts, the 'Blood Canon' and the 'Demon Canon', complementing each other yet also mutually restraining.

For him to make breakthroughs in his realm, he must advance both blood Qi and demon Qi simultaneously, with both progressing together.

And the method of obtaining blood Qi, for him who cultivated the 'Indestructible Blood Demon Scripture', couldn't be simpler—by devouring the blood Qi of living beings, he could directly increase his own blood Qi reserves.

This was an extremely domineering, even cruel, cultivation method, but its effects were also immediate.

Similarly, he could also devour the entire essence of living beings to nourish his and Little Black's demon Qi.

The life essence contained within living beings, refined through the 'Indestructible Blood Demon Scripture', could be transformed into pure demon Qi for them to absorb.

However, regarding demon Qi cultivation, he didn't need to worry at all.
