Chapter 477: Chapter 35: Entering the Grade Strength, Refining Viscera Realm

The main hall of the Lingxiao Martial Arts Academy.

This time, Lin Chen did not celebrate with Meng Xing and the others but was directly called away by Hou Zhantian.

Inside the great hall.

Lin Chen recounted his experiences in the Lingxiao Great Hall, while Hou Zhantian and several vice-deans listened with complex expressions.

Two and a half months.

After Lin Chen had been in the Lingxiao Great Hall for over a month, Hou Zhantian and the others became aware that Lin Chen likely had significant achievements there.

Yet now, hearing Lin Chen speak of it in person, they felt both shocked and somewhat regretful.

The regret was that Lin Chen was not a disciple of their Lingxiao Martial Arts Academy.

Clearly, the power of Lingxiao greatly acknowledged Lin Chen, allowing him to refine his five internal organs at once.

"I understand, do my fellow brothers have any other matters?"

After Lin Chen finished his account, Hou Zhantian looked at the other vice-deans, who then understood that the dean wanted to speak privately with Lin Chen.

Consequently, these vice-deans took their leave one by one.

"Lin Chen, being able to refine your five internal organs through the power of Lingxiao was something even I did not foresee, nor would your dean or Lord Kong have imagined."

Hou Zhantian looked intently at Lin Chen: "I must ask you, how many transformations have you undergone now?"

Upon hearing the dean mention transformations, Lin Chen was somewhat surprised.

"You’ve been in the Lingxiao Great Hall for so long, Hua Qianwu was a bit concerned about your situation and wrote to inform me, but matter is known only to me at the academy."

Lin Chen realized and replied, "The disciple has reached the Fifth Transformation."

"Achieved the Fifth Transformation with the power of Lingxiao?"

"Yes."

Hearing this response, Hou Zhantian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

When Lin Chen had spent half a month in the Lingxiao Great Hall, he wrote to Hua Qianwu in hopes that Hua Qianwu might compensate the disciples of Lingxiao Martial Arts Academy with some treasures from Canglan Martial Arts Academy.

However, Hua Qianwu’s reply contained a shocking message.

Lin Chen was cultivating the Nine Revolutions True Blood Viscera Cultivation Method!

To an ordinary martial artist or even some talented youths, Nine Revolutions True Blood Viscera Cultivation Method might seem unfamiliar, yet no Upper-Grade Martial Artists are unaware of it.

It was the cultivation technique of the Grand Ancestor Emperor during the Refining Viscera Realm, and it was also the foundation of the Grand Ancestor Emperor’s rise. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Unfortunately, since the Grand Ancestor Emperor, no one in Liang has been able to successfully cultivate the Nine Revolutions True Blood Viscera Cultivation Method, not even the descendants of the Grand Ancestor Emperor.

Upon first hearing that Lin Chen was cultivating the Nine Revolutions True Blood Viscera Cultivation Array, his initial reaction was to rage at Hua Qianwu, thinking this old fellow was ruining Lin Chen, a genius of Liang.

But as the letter continued, mentioning even Lord Kong’s agreement, he decided to let it go.

The Nine Revolutions True Blood Viscera Cultivation has two main challenges, the first being cultivation resources. Even from the perspective of an Upper-Grade Martial Artist, the resources required are terrifying. But the hardest part is enduring the pain of the nine transformations.

Each transformation is exponentially more painful than the previous.

The further it goes, the harder it is to endure.

While it’s joyful that Lin Chen has refined his five organs, there’s a fear that Lin Chen might have refined them directly without the true blood conversion.

In Nine Revolutions True Blood Viscera Cultivation, the reason the pain increases after the Fifth Transformation is that the five organs have completed their refinement, and the Qi Blood within the body is maximized. The more Qi Blood there is, the deeper the pain with each transformation.

If Lin Chen were still in the Second Transformation and had already refined his five organs, not to mention achieving the Ninth Transformation, even reaching the Fifth Transformation would be challenging.

"It seems that bringing you to the Lingxiao Martial Arts Academy was the right decision, and the Sihe Martial Arts Academy and the Pilgrim Martial Arts Academy have done a good deed."

Hou Zhantian wore a smile, recalling Hua Qianwu’s plan for Lin Chen’s cultivation in his letter, originally intending for Lin Chen to complete the Third Transformation at the Canglan Martial Arts Academy before coming to the Lingxiao Martial Arts Academy.

Lin Chen also laughed; indeed, that seemed to be the case.

"As for the Martial Path Will you mentioned... this is the unique feature of martial artists like you walking the Extreme Martial Arts Path."

Seeing Lin Chen’s puzzled expression, Hou Zhantian explained: "Ordinary martial artists follow the Spiritual Soldier Grade path. To condense the Martial Path Will, they must forge a suitable spiritual weapon first, and then continuously temper it, allowing it to fuse with their own divine soul."

"Dean, I still don’t quite understand. I saw that the three Beichen brothers summoned their spiritual weapons suddenly at the time. Can spiritual weapons be hidden within the body?"

"Yes!"

Hou Zhantian extended his right hand, his palm turned, and a golden mace appeared in his palm.

"Although your Nine Revolutions True Blood Viscera Cultivation Method cannot fully enter the grade without nine revolutions, since you have already condensed the Martial Path Will, I shall offer you some insight into Martial Path Will today."

"Thank you, Dean."

Lin Chen was full of gratitude, understanding that having an Upper-Grade Martial Artist like Dean Hou explain the Martial Path Will would naturally offer deeper insights than consulting books on his own.

"First, let me ask you, what is the Martial Path Will?"

"Divine Soul?"

"You’ve only answered half correctly."

Hou Zhantian stroked his beard and said, "Senior Brother Hua should have mentioned the nurturing of will within the five organs."

"Yes, the teacher has mentioned nurturing the will within the five organs to me."

Lin Chen nodded, referring to Hua as a teacher in front of Dean Hou.

"Every person has their divine soul from birth, but the divine soul is fragile and needs the body for nourishment. However, the divine soul is not the same as the Martial Path Will; there’s a distinction."

"Martial Path Will is born from the divine soul, follow me!"

Hou Zhantian led Lin Chen towards the back of the great hall, arriving at a courtyard where stood a bare old tree.
