How can I have a heart of a demonic god in my body?!-Chapter 175 - 0172 Improvement in Multiple Domains

Chapter 175: Chapter 0172: Improvement in Multiple Domains Chapter 175 -0172: Improvement in Multiple Domains Chen Yu was not surprised at all by the smooth progression to the Late Stage of Organ Refining.

After taking the Blood Soul Bud, he still possessed immense potential, and his foundational realm was solid.

However, advancing to the Late Stage of Organ Refining did not significantly increase Chen Yu’s combat strength; it mainly compensated for his cultivation’s weaknesses, improving his overall strength and foundation.

After all,

Chen Yu had mastered the Cloud Evil Fist to its peak, and the Cloud Evil Inner Breath was very close to Postnatal True Qi, with Cloud Evil True Qi also being condensed within his body.

Under normal circumstances, he could fight evenly with an average Postnatal Qi Transformation foe.

And if one were to add the Black Emperor Bloodline and the storage of power in his heart, a typical Postnatal Qi Transformation opponent might not necessarily be a match for him.

“If I diligently cultivate for two or three months, advancing to Postnatal Qi Transformation shouldn’t be difficult…”

Chen Yu’s gaze flickered as he slowly finished his cultivation session.

But now,

the war among the sects of Chu Country was far from over, leaving Chen Yu only a month to recuperate.

He didn’t have the time, nor did he plan to rush the advancement to Postnatal Qi Transformation.

Moreover,

Advancing to the Qi Transformation Realm might be more detrimental than beneficial for Chen Yu.

For one, Chen Yu already possessed the combat strength of the Postnatal Stage; advancing to Postnatal Qi Transformation would not increase his strength as much as one would imagine.

Secondly, once he advanced to the Postnatal Phase, his potential and threat would alert strong enemies like Lv Tiezu and the Bone Demon Palace, leading them to increase their threat assessments.

Remaining in the Organ Refining Stage meant he would still be considered a lowly creature in the eyes of enemies, which would result in much less pressure.

In martial arts cultivation, it was not suitable to advance.

However,

In the area of Body Cultivation, it would be feasible to attempt to advance the Copper Statue Technique.

Nowadays,

Chen Yu’s Copper Statue Technique had reached the peak of the Copper Bone level, practically the limit of the introductory level.

The next step,

Would be to advance to the Copper Statue Gang Body and the True Copper Statue.

If the Copper Statue Technique could advance to the “Copper Statue Gang Body,” the increase in overall combat strength and self-preservation ability would be quite considerable.

…

Over the following days,

Chen Yu focused on cultivating the Copper Statue Technique, but progress was quite ordinary, facing a significant bottleneck of a major realm.

Because,

Advancing to the “Copper Statue Gang Body” represented a leap across a significant boundary, corresponding at least to the martial cultivation of the Postnatal Stage.

Faced with this great bottleneck,

The effects of Chen Yu’s previous “Snake Gallbladder Spirit Ginseng” prescription were negligible.

Three days later,

“With this pace, it would be difficult to break through to the ‘Copper Statue Gang Body’ without at least half a year.”

Chen Yu’s brow furrowed slightly.

The difficulty of advancing in Body Cultivation Techniques was much more difficult and arduous than traditional martial arts, and it became more apparent the further one progressed.

And this was with Chen Yu being blessed with a talent for Body Techniques.

For ordinary people, what might take half a year could require more than ten times as long.

Chen Yu finally understood why the path of Body Cultivation declined in historical trends and was even phased out.

Fortunately,

Chen Yu was already collecting materials for the fourth Body Refining prescription and had placed a large amount of Primordial Stones and contribution points in the Sect Affairs Hall for purchase.

The value of the various materials required for the fourth Body Refining prescription had shot up several times.

The three main ingredients: Two Hundred Years Fire Spirit Ginseng, Two Hundred Years Ice Snow Lotus, and Moon Spirit Ore.

Among these, the most difficult to find was the Moon Spirit Ore.

Chen Yu already possessed it.

The next hardest to find was the Two Hundred Years Ice Snow Lotus, which was relatively scarce in the lands of Chu Country, especially a two hundred-year-old specimen.

He had brought out a few Fire Spirit Ginsengs from the Blood Burial Garden, all between two and three hundred years old.

The other auxiliary materials were also quite rare and valuable.

But Chen Yu believed that since he had obtained the most difficult to acquire, the Moon Spirit Ore, the rest of the materials should not be too hard to gather with ample Primordial Stones and some extra time.

…

In the following days,

Chen Yu slightly relaxed his cultivation of the Copper Statue Technique and devoted some of his energy to familiarizing himself with puppets.

Swoosh!

He retrieved a small metal sphere from the Light Silver Crystal Space.

Quickly,

A figure about three meters tall, a sword and shield puppet, stepped out of the bright mist.

Chen Yu used the mental technique passed down by Tong Yuling to control the sword and shield puppet, hoping to quickly coordinate with his combat style.

This sword and shield puppet could be considered one of Chen Yu’s trump cards.

But to skillfully control the puppet and unleash its strongest power required a high level of proficiency in the mental techniques and his own spiritual power.

At the time in the Blood Burial Garden,

Lu Zhuo’s spiritual power was not enough to fully utilize this puppet’s power, especially when coordinating in battle.

Chen Yu’s spiritual power, after reaching the peak of the Cloud Evil Fist and being nourished by the Blood Soul Bud, slightly surpassed that of an average Postnatal Qi Transformation level, much stronger than Lu Zhuo’s at that time.

After two or three days of repeated intense practice,

Chen Yu became gradually proficient in controlling the puppet.

While not as effortless as moving an arm, he had already surpassed the previous Lu Zhuo.

After getting familiar with the puppet,

Chen Yu began to explore the beast skin armor on his body.

This beast skin armor, also from Lu Zhuo, was the highest-grade treasure on Chen Yu’s body!

The protection of the high-grade treasure armor seemed to be some ancient artifact, its defensive capability enough to entice those at the Qi Transformation Innate level.

That day in Lu Yun City, when dividing the loot,

It was only after much persuasion that Chen Yu reluctantly kept the beast skin armor.

Half a day later.

Chen Yu figured out how to utilise the beast skin armor.

If one were to use only a small amount of Postnatal True Qi, it would be far from sufficient to form a protective energy layer over the entire body.

He estimated

That the armor would require the power of someone at the Postnatal Peak or Qi Transformation Innate to fully unleash its defensive potential.

Besides,

The addition of the Black Emperor Bloodline could also activate it beyond its level.

“Activate!”

Chen Yu channeled his Cloud Evil True Qi and the Black Emperor Bloodline, merging them into the beast skin armor on his body.

Buzz!

A layer of purple-green light film emerged from the beast skin and enveloped Chen Yu’s entire body, offering robust protection.

When both forces were driven to the limit,

Hmm~

Chen Yu’s body overlaid with the phantom of an ancient beast, resembling a black iron giant pig, exuding a violent and savage aura.

That instant,

Chen Yu felt his Cloud Evil True Qi and Hei Emperor bloodline swiftly depleting.

The Cloud Evil True Qi was bearable, as it could be slowly replenished within his Qi Sea, but the Hei Emperor bloodline was different and needed to be conserved.

“Retract!”

Chen Yu immediately withdrew the Cloud Evil True Qi and Hei Emperor bloodline, the ancient beast’s shadow and the protective layer vanishing in the blink of an eye.

Afterward,

His treasured armor turned lifeless, resembling a provincial leather armor with no distinguishing features.

“Not bad.”

A faint smile appeared on Chen Yu’s face.

If he were to fully activate this leather armor, attacks below the Qi Transformation Innate would hardly be a concern.

However,

Compared to the strength of the leather armor, Chen Yu’s other two weapons were somewhat lacking.

The Xuan Heavy Sword, as his main weapon, was still a low-grade treasure at its best.

The Dark Snake Sword, a lethal weapon for close combat, was a mid-grade treasure.

As for the pair of dark teal boots and three spears Elder Mao had given him, they had all been claimed by the Blood Burial Garden.

“It seems I need to make a trip.”

Chen Yu exhaled deeply.

…

The next day,

Having prepared himself, Chen Yu set out from the Yunyue Sect’s gates.

With his status as a True Disciple and the Spirit Sword Seal left by Lv Tiezu, the Sect Affairs Hall posed no difficulties and approved his departure.

This time leaving the mountain,

Chen Yu had two matters to attend to.

First, to visit the Chu Family for weapon forging and refining.

He still remembered that Master Gu owed him a weapon forging session.

Second, to return to the Chen Family to dispel the mysteries of that bizarre dream.

With Chen Yu’s current light-body technique, it took only a day to reach the Chu Family’s territory.

After announcing his name,

Chen Yu was swiftly led by a steward to the back mountain of the Chu Family.

This time,

Chen Yu didn’t see the Chu Ancestor but met with Master Gu, who had a goat beard.

“Chen Yu, it hasn’t been long since we’ve met, and you’re already back seeking my weapon refining skills?” Master Gu said with a note of surprise.

He scrutinized Chen Yu, eyeing him as one might regard a figure from the rumors.

Clatter!

Chen Yu got straight to the point, pulling out a bunch of Artifact Refining materials, including Black Mysterious Crystal, Golden Cloud Stone, Five Hundred Years of Yin Corrosion Bamboo, Moon Spirit Ore, meteoric iron, and others, totaling over a dozen different kinds.

These rare and precious minerals caused Master Gu’s mouth to drop open in amazement.

What’s more,

From his Light Silver Crystal Space, Chen Yu produced a piece of Dark Silver Crystal Stone and a bloodstained jade, shimmering with a faintly dim iridescence.

“The legendary Xuan Yin Crystal Stone.

And this…

Mutated Peacock Stone!” Master Gu exclaimed as he grabbed the two items, his face gleaming with excitement.

Right now, these items were from Lu Zhuo’s storage bag, later identified by Tong Yuling.

Without Tong Yuling,

Chen Yu himself probably would not have recognized their significance, especially the Mutated Peacock Stone.

Both items could at least be used to refine top-notch treasures; the Peacock Stone might even be suitable for materials beyond treasures.

Regrettably,

The quantities of these two items were quite small, no bigger than the size of a fingertip.

“It seems the rumors are true; you truly gained immense fortune at the Blood Burial Garden,” Master Gu remarked thoughtfully.

Then,

Staring at this array of precious Spiritual Ores, he asked in a trance, “With such a variety of ores, how many weapons do you intend to forge?”

Chen Yu let out a slight smile, extending three fingers.

He then presented both the Xuan Heavy Sword and the Dark Snake Sword.

In addition, he wanted to forge three spears.

Chen Yu had brought out so many ores at once primarily to see what Master Gu’s scheme would be.

“Three pieces of weaponry, to what level do you wish to refine each?” Master Gu asked gravely.

“The three spears should preferably be of mid-grade, the Xuan Heavy Sword should reach a refined mid-grade, and the Dark Snake Sword I hope for a high-grade treasure,” Chen Yu answered.

“A high-grade treasure?

These materials should be sufficient, but your cultivation is only…”

Master Gu rolled his eyes.

But he abruptly halted his speech.

Hm!

Chen Yu’s palm opened, revealing a ring of Postnatal True Qi tinged with a dark green hue.

“Alright, forget my idle talk,” Master Gu said, giving Chen Yu a deep look.

Before Chen Yu arrived,

The Chu Family Ancestor had sought out Master Gu, advising him not to get too entangled with Chen Yu.

“With the Xuan Yin Crystal Stone and Mutated Peacock Stone you have in hand, there’s not much of them.

To be frank, with my level of Artifact Refining skill, it’s not enough to unleash their true value,” Master Gu emphasized before starting the refining process.

Clearly, if the weapons produced didn’t meet expectations, it shouldn’t be blamed on him.

“Master, do your best,” Chen Yu nodded in agreement.

For Master Gu, crafting a high-grade treasure was already pushing his limits.

In Chu Country, Master Gu was among the very top Artifact Refiners; there might be better Refiners out there, but Chen Yu didn’t know them nor could he roam freely outside the Three Sects Camp.

Over the subsequent days,

Chen Yu stayed atop Master Gu’s mountain, assisting in Artifact Refining with his Cloud Evil True Qi.

The entire process was exceedingly monotonous.

The first weapon to be forged were the three spears; Chen Yu only asked for a mid-grade treasure, which put no pressure on Master Gu.

According to him, this was merely preparation for the following two weapons, warming up first.

Three days later,

Three brand-new, black metallic spears appeared before Chen Yu.

With a smile on his face, and seemingly in good form, Master Gu gesture for Chen Yu to try them out.
