Chapter 1735 (Raw 1745): Powerful Technique Reborn







The Divine Dragon Body Tempering Art!

It had a total of nine layers, which did not purely cultivate Vital Qi but also reconstructed the physical body into one like that of the ancient Dragon Race . This allowed the physical body to reach similar levels of strength as the ancient Dragon Race, possessing its strong bloodline, a terrifying defense, and an extremely resilient physique .

The first layer cultivated dragon veins, making the blood veins as strong as true dragon veins, so that they could endure a greater volume of Vital Qi .

Otherwise, even if one had strong Vital Qi, one would not dare to use it all .

Xiao Chen knew about Vital Qi injuring the body . Back in the Kunlun Realm, this was how he had damaged his body, resulting in considerable hidden damage later .

The body of a cultivator would always be their base . One could do one’s utmost to temper it . However, one absolutely could not leave behind aftereffects and hidden damage .

The second layer cultivated dragon bones, making all the bones in the body like dragon bones .

The bones were the framework of the physical body and the most important protective layer of the internal organs . One could injure the internal organs only after injuring the bones .

Although one’s body was no longer ordinary after reaching the Veritable Personage Realm, gaining a remarkable recovery ability, to the point of regrowing limbs, if the heart were instantly shattered, it could still be fatal to cultivators .

After all, it was impossible to regrow a heart without a few months . Of course, while some special techniques could quickly regenerate the heart, these were very rare and precious, beyond the reach of ordinary cultivators .

The Divine Dragon Body Tempering Art’s second layer could reconstruct the bones, making them as strong as the ancient Dragon Race’s .

This allowed a cultivator to endure more damage and protect their internal organs, preventing fatal damage .

The third layer cultivated dragon blood . Only at this layer could one be considered to be inducted into the Cultivation Technique and formally start cultivating Vital Qi .

As the saying went, “Qi and blood surge together . Qi and blood are inseparable . Qi is born in blood . ” Blood was the source of Vital Qi . This was especially so after awakening the Azure Dragon bloodline . Xiao Chen could make use of this aspect .

To any cultivator of the Great Desolate Eon bloodline, their bloodline would forever be an inexhaustible treasure trove . Any means to improve the bloodline would be an immense help, so no one could give up on these .

Any natural treasure that could dig out the potential of the bloodline would sell for sky-high prices .

This was the reason why the Life Juice Source was so revered .

After these three layers were still six more . They were all in Xiao Chen’s mind . The Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor personally imparted them to him .

With just one thought, the various details of the Divine Dragon Body Tempering Art would appear in Xiao Chen’s mind .

If one wanted to cultivate the Divine Dragon Body Tempering Art, one needed a cauldron . To be specific, an ancient cauldron .





Since ancient times, cauldrons were revered as supreme . The sayings “asking the cauldron for the world” and “support the earth and hold up the heavens with a cauldron” came from this philosophy .

[TL Note: Asking the cauldron for the world means to aspire to rule the world . Support the earth and hold up the heavens with a cauldron means to have an indomitable spirit . ]

One needed to observe the cauldron’s form, sensing the meaning behind it, and comprehend its spirit .

Xiao Chen sat down cross-legged, and a light appeared in his eyes as he spiritedly looked at the Dragon Pattern Cauldron .

The Dragon Pattern Cauldron was a four-legged square cauldron with sharp and defined corners . Every angle revealed sharpness .

Its surface had dragon patterns that looked very lifelike . When observing these, one would discover that they depicted dragons swimming about the cauldron .

Indeed, the Dragon Pattern Cauldron that came from the Dragon Race was quite suitable for Xiao Chen . Soon, he sensed the meaning of the True Dragon within the cauldron .

The image of an ancient True Dragon appeared in Xiao Chen’s mind . It soared among the clouds, churning them and causing rain to fall . As it breathed, lightning flashed and thunder roared .

The might of the Divine Dragon imprinted in his mind, inspiring his heart to worship and not profane it .

Xiao Chen remained calm and comprehended its spirit and nature .

Soon, he entered a trance, forgetting everything around him . The meaning of the ancient True Dragon, imprinted deep in his mind, roamed about unfettered as if its spirit was fusing with him .

Without Xiao Chen noticing, the Dragon Pattern Cauldron merged into his body .

The heavens were above, and the earth was below . Between the heavens and the earth, there was an uncrossable chasm .

Xiao Chen used his body as the cauldron and the dragon spirit as his intent to connect to the heavens above and the earth below . He supported the earth and held up the heavens with a cauldron, creating a connection between them, the universe merging into one .

The power of the heavens and the power of the earth mingled in the Dragon Pattern Cauldron, where they turned into Dragon Energy that swam around his body .

At this moment, the Divine Dragon Body Tempering Art’s first layer started circulating automatically . Under the influence of the Dragon Energy, the veins in his body slowly changed .

Xiao Chen had already achieved the Azure Dragon War Body . However, due to the lack of a Cultivation Technique to continue cultivating, its development stagnated .

Now that he formally started to cultivate the Divine Dragon Body Tempering Art, it went very smoothly without any obstructions at all .

In merely four hours, the pure Dragon Energy formed by the vast power of the world completed a minor cycle in Xiao Chen’s body .

After half a day, the Dragon Energy completed eighteen minor cycles . Three days later, the Dragon Energy completed a major cycle .

Xiao Chen breathed out and slowly opened his eyes . His entire body felt comfortable, and his veins, full of strength . When he stretched out his hand and clenched his fist, the four Cauldron Force in his body gathered more easily than before .

With a flick of his finger, the four Cauldron Force instantly focused on his fingertip .





“Buzz!”

Space trembled, and dust fell off all the surfaces in the entire courtyard .

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!” It looked like fine snow falling, spreading everywhere .

Spiraling ripples spread out from where Xiao Chen’s fingertip tapped, scattering wave after wave .

Xiao Chen’s veins hurt a little . Bursting out with four Cauldron Force from his fingertip still somewhat of a strain .

However, this was already a huge improvement . Previously, he would not dare to instantly burst out four Cauldron Force so crazily .

Still sitting cross-legged, Xiao Chen closed his eyes and resumed cultivating .

------

One month later, Xiao Chen opened his eyes again . Now, he could be considered to have successfully cultivated the Divine Dragon Body Tempering Art’s first layer .

Next up was continuous accumulation . As Xiao Chen’s cultivation increased, his dragon veins would strengthen as well .


Now, the veins in his body had undergone a complete transformation, turning into dragon veins . Surprisingly, his strength had also increased by one Cauldron Force .

Now, his Vital Qi reached five Cauldron Force . With a gentle flick, he could instantly burst out with five Cauldron Force .

Suddenly, Xiao Chen shouted, “Explode!” He extended his finger, tapping the air . Five ancient cauldrons appeared overhead, and the energy at his fingertip erupted in an instant .

“Boom!” The Vital Qi shot out, and a pile of things in front turned into dust, scattered with the wind, and completely disappeared .

Not only did Xiao Chen not feel any pain in his veins, but there was also scope for more; that had been far from his limit .

He pondered this, feeling that it was somewhat wasteful if he used only five Cauldron Force .

Perhaps he could infuse his Veritable Essence Energy into his Vital Qi as he had with the Sharp Spirit Finger in the Kunlun Realm .

The Primordial Energy of the Kunlun Realm was far from comparable to the Veritable Essence Energy from balancing Yin and Yang, which formed the Primal Core .

Furthermore, Xiao Chen had condensed a 9-Star Primal Core . His Veritable Essence Energy was even vaster and purer .

“When lighting up five stars on the 9-Star Primal Core, my Veritable Essence Energy already rivals a peak Major Primal Core cultivator’s . If I gather all my Veritable Essence Energy and focus it on one point, the offensive power created would not be weaker than five Cauldron Force . ”

Xiao Chen felt somewhat worried that his newly transformed dragon veins would not be able to endure it .





More importantly, executing the Sharp Spirit Finger would drain all the Vital Qi and Veritable Essence Energy in his body, leaving nothing behind .

However, the resultant energy would not simply have an additive effect but a multiplicative one .  

Xiao Chen weighed the pros and cons .

He felt that it was somewhat too risky . Recovering from an injury to his dragon veins would be very hard . The losses would not be worth it .

Actually, using the Sharp Spirit Finger was also risky .

Once executed, Xiao Chen would be drained of Veritable Essence Energy and Vital Qi for a period . This was a killing move to be used at the last moment . If the enemy did not die, Xiao Chen would .

Hence, since learning the Sharp Spirit Finger, he rarely used it .

This was because Xiao Chen did not like putting himself in dead ends .

Even executing the Mahāmāyā Abstinence Violation Saber Technique’s Breaking the Mundane and Resolving the Mundane would not leave him in such a sorry state .

The Sharp Spirit Finger’s efficiency was too low, of dubious value .

Since learning it, Xiao Chen had used it only a few times, because it meant gambling his life, as it would leave his body in dire straits .

Yet, giving it up was a pity . After all, it was a killing move that could buy his survival in a desperate situation .

Xiao Chen wanted to see if he could alter it into a regular move with higher efficiency .

After this thought popped up, Xiao Chen could not stop thinking about it .

In the end, all his thousands of attempts failed .

“I keep thinking of using the Sharp Spirit Finger for offense . Why have I not considered using it for defense?”

With the change in direction, all sorts of ideas immediately appeared, exciting Xiao Chen, who was already somewhat numb from failure .

I do not have many defensive moves in the first place . My strongest defensive Martial Technique, the Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram, currently isn’t useful .

Indeed, I need a defensive Martial Technique that I can use normally .

How should I alter this?

Xiao Chen thought about it, rejecting the various ideas .

Just when he was running out of ideas, his gaze wandered and landed on the Dragon Pattern Cauldron in front of him .

The square, four-legged cauldron stood tall and firm, unmoving in the face of the wind that came from all directions .

It was just a simple cauldron, but there seemed to be a certain charm to it . Amid the ordinariness, it inspired deep thoughts .

Xiao Chen revealed a trace of a smile on his face . “A cauldron reigns supreme . The cauldron is noble . Ask the cauldron for the world . Support the earth and hold up the heavens with a cauldron . The wisdom of the ancients were all focused on the seemingly simple cauldron . There was such a good reference before me, yet I actually ignored it . I am really foolish . ”

No matter how strong the wind was or where it came from, the cauldron did not budge .

It towered like a mountain but was even more imposing, vivider, and simpler .

The Great Dao points to simplicity; so, this was what that meant .

Why can I not be like a cauldron, supporting the heavens with my head and the earth with my feet? When the sky and ground change color and wind blows everywhere, I will not move at all .

Even with the churning clouds, the howling winds, or the surging waves, the cauldron remains unchanging .

After finding his direction, Xiao Chen resumed closed-door cultivation . This time, his line of thought turned clearer and lively .

In a mere seven days, he figured out how to alter the Sharp Spirit Finger .

Xiao Chen stood up . With a thought, he silently circulated his energy for the Sharp Spirit Finger .

His Vital Qi surged, and five ancient cauldrons appeared above his head . Five stars lit up on his 9-Star Primal Core, and he drove all of his Veritable Essence Energy .

He merged his Vital Qi and Veritable Essence Energy . Instantly, a strong aura burst out of his body, something greater than a peak Major Primal Core cultivator’s, and infinitely close to a Star Venerate’s .

However, the energy did not flow to Xiao Chen’s fingertip . Instead, it filled his entire body, turning it as hard as a cauldron .

Every single part of Xiao Chen’s body, including his blood, froze .

As his aura spread out, it even influenced the surrounding space, freezing it completely .

Time seemed to stop flowing . At this moment, not a single strand of his hair moved .

Xiao Chen’s appearance in the courtyard looked very silly . However, even if a Star Venerate arrived now, the Star Venerate would not be able to knock him back .

Dismiss! 

Xiao Chen could not maintain such a state for long . He held two fingers together and swung them gently . The frozen space immediately broke, and cracks appeared in the ground . In the next moment, dirt shot up from the countless cracks .
