Chapter 592 - 240: Fourth Realm of Body Cultivation, Life and Death Tribulation
As the river of blood merged into his body, Shen Wenxing’s consciousness submerged into endless darkness, faintly seeing a mysterious figure appear.
The figure wore a gray, loose long robe, with hair gray as frost, striding forward with hands behind his back.
"Father?"
Shen Wenxing’s consciousness struggled and called out.
But the figure’s face remained blurred, and it did not respond.
"Father, this time I fear there’s no way back."
Looking at the figure standing not far ahead, Shen Wenxing muttered bitterly in his heart.
Yet as his words fell, the figure before him suddenly erupted with intense blood-red light!
The next moment, Shen Wenxing felt as if his consciousness was plucked by an invisible hand. When he came to, his consciousness returned to his body.
The intense pain of the secret treasury’s power washing over his Five Viscera made his barely returned consciousness blur again.
But the pain subsided considerably thereafter.
Focusing, Shen Wenxing was startled to find the figure suspected to be his father, Shen Yuan, was now glowing with endless blood light, standing guard between his Five Viscera.
The blood light formed a barrier resembling a coiled azure dragon, firmly protecting the Five Viscera, making the secret treasury’s invading power much more benign.
Azure dragon...
In that instant, a sudden realization dawned on Shen Wenxing.
Enduring the tearing pain within his Five Viscera, he began to utilize the erupting Blood Qi Power from the secret treasury’s force, imitating the figure to form a phantom azure dragon around his Five Viscera.
Seeing this, the figure, seemingly Shen Yuan, nodded in satisfaction and gradually dissipated.
As the most violent stage of the secret treasury’s force passed, the following power flowed gently like a meandering stream towards the Five Viscera.
He finally overcame the second hurdle of the Life and Death Realm.
His constantly refined Five Viscera, carried substantial Qi Blood Power, rapidly nourishing his body.
In the cave, Shen Wenxing, who originally resembled a mummy, now looked like a balloon being filled up; his shriveled flesh rose, and his straw-like hair gradually regained some sheen.
A powerful heartbeat echoed within the cave, the aura around him growing stronger.
In the Black Water Pavilion.
Blood trickled from the corner of Shen Yuan’s mouth, his aura somewhat unsteady.
Fortunately, the injury wasn’t too severe.
He gradually opened his eyes, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and got up to the window’s edge, gazing silently in the direction of the cave at the rear mountain.
Feeling the intense Blood Qi emanating from there, a smile crept onto his face.
"Troublesome boy, even at a hundred years old, you still won’t let your father rest easy."
The cave at the rear mountain, filled with Blood Qi.
Shen Wenxing, now fully restored in appearance, had Blood Qi enveloping him, forming a terrifying pillar of Blood Qi that pierced through the stone ceiling, appearing in the void.
The Blood Qi pillar, majestic and over a hundred feet tall, exuded immense pressure.
The many cultivators in the city, seeing this, were all puzzled.
"It’s the Elder Patriarch!"
"The Elder Patriarch must have broken through!"
The Immortal Dao cultivators didn’t know what this Blood Qi pillar represented, but the body cultivators in the city understood that such a dense Blood Qi phenomenon was caused by Shen Wenxing, who was in seclusion, breaking through to the Fourth Realm of Body Cultivation in Yunshui City!
At Yunshui City’s South City Gate, by Laishui River.
Bare-chested, Xu Zhan was seated cross-legged on a massive rock, cultivating, while beside him, Shen You rested her chin in her hands, gazing at the shimmering river surface, lost in thought.
When the Blood Qi phenomenon appeared in the city, Xu Zhan immediately sensed this terrifying Blood Qi Power.
He suddenly stood and looked toward Yunshui City.
Curious, Shen You stood up, glanced at him, and asked, "What’s wrong?"
Xu Zhan smiled faintly, then looked at Shen You and said, "It must be Master breaking through!"
"Senior Sister, let’s go take a look."
"Ah Die broke through?!" Shen You, upon hearing this, was full of joy, and immediately soared towards Yunshui City using Wind Manipulation.
When the two arrived at the rear mountain, the cave front was already crowded with cultivators from the Shen Family.
Most of them were body cultivators from Yunshui City.
Shen Wenxing was still the foremost body cultivator of the Shen Family, and these body cultivators in the city were all his disciples and descendants.
"Young Miss."
"Lord Xu."
Upon seeing Shen You and Xu Zhan arrive, the cultivators respectfully cupped their hands and made way.
When the two reached the cave entrance, the hundred-foot Blood Qi pillar in the void had already dissipated.
In no time, the stone door of the cave, sealed for several years, slowly opened.
Wearing a brown, loose long robe, with hair tied in a bun and adorned with a Goose Crown, Shen Wenxing emerged, beaming.
"Father!"
Seeing him, Shen You ran over excitedly at once!
Xu Zhan also walked up with a joyful expression, respectfully clasping his hands, saying, "Congratulations Master, on successfully breaking through to the Fourth Realm!"
As soon as he finished, the Shen Family’s cultivators behind them also respectfully cupped their hands, "Congratulations, Elder Patriarch!"
Shen Wenxing nodded with a smile, saying, "You all may return; I will organize insights from breaking through to the Fourth Realm and guidelines for what to heed before breaking through."
"For us body cultivators, reaching the First Realm is a matter of life and death. The best I can do is prepare you well and reduce casualties."
Hearing this, many body cultivators beamed with joy.
Body cultivation is perilous; having the valuable experience left by predecessors can truly save lives at critical moments.
After the crowd dispersed, Shen Wenxing looked at his disciple Xu Zhan in front of him.
"Good boy, we haven’t met in years, and you’re nearly at the peak of the Third Realm."
"If I had been slower breaking through, you would have caught up to me."
Xu Zhan gently smiled, cupping his hands, "Master Lu once compiled the auxiliary cultivation technique ’Self-Examination Book’ for the ’Nine Fiends Gathering Body Technique,’ which I have comprehended thoroughly."
