Chapter 102: Chapter 101: Divine Body Classification! Stone Axe!
Chang Qing understood for the first time why resources are so important to a cultivator.
Before consuming the beast blood, his vital energy and blood could only sustain three axe strikes before running out, forcing him to withdraw from the Heaven-opening training state.
But now, with the blessing of the demon beast’s blood, his body was full of vital energy and blood, and the axe light was even more intense.
The chaotic heaven and earth before him, the separation of heaven and earth was clearly visible, and his body and spirit rapidly strengthened!
"Slash!"
Chang Qing was completely immersed in the pleasure of continuously becoming stronger, with every axe he wielded, every cell in his body cheered excitedly.
Whenever he felt his vital energy and blood depleting, he would consume a few drops of beast blood and continue cultivating.
In the blink of an hour.
The chaotic world had just begun to separate, but all around was still a vast expanse of white, and the heavens and earth were still very close.
It still required a lot of time to fully develop this chaotic world into heaven and earth.
But at this moment, Chang Qing stopped.
Not because he didn’t want to cultivate, but because the demon beast blood had been exhausted.
With his own vital energy and blood, he could not even sustain a few axe strikes.
"Resources!"
A gleam of longing flashed in Chang Qing’s eyes.
He now needed a large amount of cultivation resources, as long as his vital energy and blood were continuously replenished, he could quickly become stronger.
Even with just a small vial of demon beast blood, his body became several times stronger than before.
So what if he had more?
"It seems I need to venture into the resource towers."
Chang Qing thoroughly understood the value of these resource towers now.
A significant increase in cultivation speed was an opportunity no cultivator would pass up.
"But before that, I need to master those two axe techniques."
"Otherwise, the speed of developing heaven and earth is still too slow."
Chang Qing pondered, looking at the Heaven-Opening Axe diagram in his sea of consciousness.
The vital energy and blood could maintain the Heaven-Opening Axe within him, but his strength and skills were still lacking, making the speed of opening heaven slow.
If he could master those two axe techniques and combine them with cultivation resources, the speed of opening heaven would increase significantly.
"The mentor should have experience, I should consult the mentor."
A spark of brightness flashed in Chang Qing’s eyes as he turned and walked out of the Purple Tower.
...
Outside the Purple Tower.
Wu Jiuling still wore a look of excitement.
The Heaven-Opening Axe, the Companion Dao Soldiers of the Heaven and Earth Divine Body!
Probably, besides the Martial Ancestor, no one else in the world has achieved such an accomplishment.
And his Dao source was the same as Chang Qing’s, though he couldn’t birth the Heaven-Opening Axe, he could observe and cultivate.
He couldn’t surpass the ’root’ that is Chang Qing, but he could branch out ’branches and leaves’.
Just as Wu Jiuling was full of excitement, sudden severe pain came from within him, and he hurriedly took out a wine pot, taking a big gulp.
"Pity..."
His expression dimmed slightly, "With such a broken body, even if I could master the technique, so what."
"If only a hundred years earlier..."
Just when Wu Jiuling was feeling a bit despondent, the light from the Purple Tower flashed, and Chang Qing’s figure appeared.
"Thankfully, though I myself cannot achieve it, my disciple will certainly be able to in the future!"
Seeing Chang Qing, a smile appeared on Wu Jiuling’s once gloomy face.
He asked with a smile, "Chang Qing, how did it feel on your first training?"
Hearing this, Chang Qing clenched his powerful fist, smiling brightly, "Very strong."
"I feel like I could punch through a giant rock!"
Saying this, he looked at Wu Jiuling and curiously asked, "Mentor, in the Divine Body realm, is there only the Heaven and Earth technique?"
"Of course not."
Wu Jiuling chuckled at this, "There are many Foundation Establishment methods for the Divine Body in the world, with no unified naming, so they are simply divided into minor completion, major completion, and peak."
"The Heaven and Earth Divine Body you’re cultivating, once heaven and earth are fully developed, that is minor completion."
"When heaven and earth first manifest, channeling the mysteries of mountains and rivers, igniting the fire of life, washing the marrow and forging the bones, that’s the major completion of the Divine Body."
"And when the body is flawless and the vital energy and blood are abundant, one can establish the Dao Foundation of blood and flesh, at this point, the peak of the Divine Body."
As he spoke, Wu Jiuling looked at Chang Qing and smiled:
"There are those with rapid-speed Divine Bodies, skilled in speed, who can swiftly travel like the wind."
"There are those with era-defining Divine Bodies, with abundant vital energy and blood, capable of prolonged battle."
"And your Heaven and Earth Divine Body, it excels in strength! Breaking ten thousand techniques with a single force!"
"Remember your advantage, face them head-on, no matter what kind of Divine Body your opponent cultivates, just smash them with a punch!"
Wu Jiuling’s tone was full of pride.
The Foundation Establishment method of the Heaven and Earth Divine Body was a Supreme Body Refining Divine Skill, in terms of strength, he had never been afraid of anyone.
Moreover, the world Chang Qing was developing was chaotic, and the strength was exaggeratedly strong.
Not to mention in the same realm, even in cross-realm combat, in terms of strength, Chang Qing would have an overwhelming advantage.
"Our legacy is so powerful?"
Upon hearing this, Chang Qing’s eyes shone brightly.
"Uh..."
Thinking of Su Nan’s advice, Wu Jiuling’s tone paused, hesitantly saying:
"Well... it’s okay... there are many kinds of Divine Bodies in the world, and there are also those that naturally counteract each other."
"Though the Heaven and Earth Divine Body is very strong in strength, don’t be too... flamboyant."
Chang Qing nodded seriously, "Rest assured, mentor, I will be more cautious."
Wu Jiuling’s mouth twitched slightly, he opened his mouth and then swallowed his words.
"Mentor, about the two techniques of the Heaven-Opening Axe..."
Chang Qing was about to ask for advice, but before he could finish, Wu Jiuling waved his sleeve, and a distant mountain peak collapsed with a rumble.
As if carved by divine craftsmanship, a rustic stone axe over a meter long emerged in the world.
That stone axe had a wide axe blade and a sturdy axe handle, also inscribed with mysterious runes.
Its appearance was indistinguishable from the Heaven-Opening Axe.
Wu Jiuling pinched a seal with his fingertips, inscribing it with multiple seals, and soon there were nine circle seals on the stone axe.
He casually tossed the stone axe to Chang Qing and said:
"I can’t teach you that; it requires you to comprehend and practice on your own."
"This stone axe weighs one hundred thousand catties, most of its weight has been sealed by me."
"You can practice with this axe, if you feel the weight isn’t suitable, then unseal one of the seals."
"When you can freely wield the one hundred thousand catties stone axe after unsealing all the seals, that will be your peak Divine Body moment!"
Chang Qing gripped the axe handle and struggled to lift the stone axe.
Feeling the weight of the stone axe, he couldn’t help but click his tongue, the stone axe with even one seal unresolved weighed nearly a thousand catties.
If it weren’t for consuming a vial of demon beast blood and developing a wide expanse of heaven and earth, he probably wouldn’t be able to lift it.
After giving Chang Qing a training weapon, Wu Jiuling also handed out three bottles of glowing misty essence blood.
"These resources can help you achieve minor completion of the Divine Body, consider it your startup resources for cultivation."
"However, after minor completion of the Divine Body, if you want to acquire more resources for cultivation..."
Wu Jiuling paused in his speech, pointed to the towering resource towers in the distance, and chuckled:
"That will depend on your own abilities."
The flowers nurtured in a greenhouse cannot withstand the wind and rain.
Chang Qing is now like a peerless jade embryo, requiring proper tempering to bloom brilliantly.
"Understood, mentor!"
Chang Qing earnestly nodded.
Since embarking on cultivation, he certainly could not afford to slack off.
His innate talent was not as good as others, he could only rely on hard work!
With this in mind, Chang Qing turned around to proceed with cultivation, striving for early minor completion of the Divine Body.
At this moment, two footsteps sounded from the foot of the mountain.
"Disciple Wu Yong, here to seek mentorship!"
ps: Chapter 99 has some adjustments to the Heaven-Opening Axe setting, changing Companion Divine Techniques to Companion Dao Soldiers, others remain unchanged.
