The Birth of Sword God-Chapter 251 - 218: Celestial Level Treasure Chest, Body Refining Divine Techniques!
Body Refining Cultivators are like the advanced version of Mortal Martial Artists.
The only difference is that many Mortal Martial Artists focus solely on strengthening their physique and cannot carry spiritual power within.
Body Refining Cultivators follow the path of hiding spirit within the shell and often have a low development of the Spiritual Embryo Secret Collection.
Because of this, Spiritual Embryo Divine Techniques are not within the grasp of Body Cultivators.
To be precise, the Spiritual Embryo Secret Collection within Body Cultivators only contains a very small amount of spiritual power, which cannot possibly trigger divine techniques.
Unless your body refining reaches the Eighth Realm or even the Ninth Realm. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
In that case, even if the Spiritual Embryo Secret Collection only holds a small portion of the total spiritual power in the body, by then the cultivation would be through the heavens, and this small portion might be enough to trigger divine techniques.
However, as far as Chu Huaixu knows, there has never been a Body Cultivator in this world who reached the Ninth Realm!
"Oh, wait, the Dao Ancestor might count as one."
"It’s just that he seems very well hidden." He criticized internally.
Body Cultivators develop their physical bodies and, once their cultivation reaches a certain level, there is a chance to trigger Body Refining Divine Techniques.
Moreover, triggering Body Refining Divine Techniques is several times harder than triggering Spiritual Embryo Divine Techniques!
There’s no way around it; the path of body refining is inherently the hardest and most grueling cultivation path.
Body Cultivators possessing divine techniques are extremely rare.
There are barely any documented Body Refining Divine Techniques.
"Furthermore, the grade of Body Refining Divine Techniques often tends to be lower, lacking the mystery of Spiritual Embryo Divine Techniques."
"There’s no help for it; the Spiritual Embryo is, after all, the most magical aspect of the human body."
"Crude Body Cultivators are inferior even in this regard."
However, Chu Huaixu did not expect that the "Dao Scripture" could balance both ends when it came to divine techniques.
As a "Swordman," he had always wanted to possess two Sword Hearts, and he hadn’t previously considered this direction.
"I feel my thinking is getting more ’swordified.’" He sarcastically thought to himself.
He seemed to have a stronger obsession with things related to swords.
Just then, a system notification sounded in his ear.
"[Ding! Would you like to claim your Body Refining Divine Technique?]"
Chu Huaixu listened to the notification sound and didn’t claim it immediately but fell into contemplation.
"Back then, I took a perfectly crafted Profound Celestial Fetal Breath Pill made by the Pill King and paired it with that black Little Sword, and somehow came to comprehend a Spiritual Embryo Divine Technique."
"But now, I’m opening a Celestial Level Treasure Chest!"
"Its preciousness must surely surpass that of the Profound Celestial Fetal Breath Pill."
"And funnily enough, Body Refining Divine Techniques always tend to be a bit lacking..."
"Unless..." Chu Huaixu had some guesses form in his mind.
He chanted in his heart: Claim!
In the next moment, another system notification sounded in his ear.
"[Ding! You have obtained the Body Refining Divine Technique—Body Ascension!]"
...
...
"Body Ascension?" Chu Huaixu naturally understood what these four words signified.
This matched his earlier speculation.
Since it was drawn from a Celestial Level Treasure Chest, the grade would definitely not be low.
But now it seemed the grade was not just high, it was maxed out!
However, he no longer had time to think.
Because the power of the Body Refining Divine Technique had already begun to activate within him!
Body Refiners, hiding spirit within the shell.
Every part of his physical body contained a trace of spiritual power.
Now, this spiritual power was beginning to become incredibly hyperactive.
Moreover, it seemed as if Chu Huaixu’s entire skin was coated with a golden glow!
An extremely domineering aura spread outward from his body.
This immediately captured the attention of everyone within the Junzi Temple.
"Hmm? Something’s off!" Jiang Zhi, who was lying on a rattan chair, suddenly vanished and instantly appeared in the Training Room.
In these fifty days, he came by every day at a fixed time like clocking in for work to check on Chu Huaixu’s condition and force-fed him a Grain Avoidance Pill.
Two hours ago, he had just been here.
At that time, there was nothing unusual about this young man.
But now he was unusual indeed.
He was actually glowing....
Jiang Zhi stood in front of Chu Huaixu, watching as he emitted light all over.
The golden glow was not dazzling, but rather soft.
But the power contained within was incredibly domineering and fierce.
This anomaly was immediately sensed by Xiang Yan and others.
The senior members of the Daoist Sect rushed over here and stood in front of Chu Huaixu, not daring to speak out loud, communicating instead through transmission.
Array Grandmaster Lu Pan immediately set up another layer of restriction inside the room to prevent interference.
"What’s going on? Why is he still glowing?" Li Chunsong was bewildered.
He transmitted to Zhao Shuqi, "Quick, use your Pupil Technique to check his condition!"
"Alright."
Fifth Elder, with squinting eyes, slowly opened his own eyes.
They were eyes with slightly dark golden pupils!
Immediately, the dark golden color grew increasingly intense, until the pupils completely transformed into gold pupils!
At this moment, Chu Huaixu appeared almost translucent in front of Zhao Shuqi.
He could see the blood flowing through his veins, see his bones, see his internal organs, see his Spiritual Embryo...
Everything, all in plain sight!
He couldn’t help but use transmission to inform everyone: "All the Spiritual Power contained within his shell is unusually active right now, even somewhat chaotic!"
"But the strength of his physical body seems to be continuously increasing."
"In addition, the golden light emanating from his body gives me a feeling somewhat reminiscent of the Buddhist Sect’s secret Technique [Vajra Realm], but there’s a clear difference."
"Yet, it seems to possess the effect of Vajra Invulnerability." Zhao Shuqi continued to transmit.
"More astonishing is that not only is his physical body’s defensive strength increasing, but the power within his body is also surging."
Just as he was about to say more, Chu Huaixu’s body began to... crack open again!
This scene was somewhat similar to his consecutive breakthroughs in the "Dao Scripture", but also different.
"Previously, it felt like he was doing Body Refining, with the Cultivation Technique tempering his body, continuously injuring his physical body, and then recovering." Zhao Shuqi said.
"But now it feels more like... remolding?" His tone carried a bit of uncertainty.
Jiang Zhi squinted his eyes, nodded, and said with certainty, "This kid is indeed remolding his physical body now!"
He continued using transmission to inform everyone: "Some of the top-tier Heavenly and Earthly Treasures in the world can achieve similar effects."
"They can allow one to be reborn!"
"But this only exists in legends."
"Yet, isn’t Chu Huaixu’s current state precisely a rebirth?"
As soon as Jiang Zhi finished transmitting, sure enough, this kid’s body began to crackle with sounds, all originating from his bones.
Immediately afterward, Chu Huaixu’s body became extremely hot, even starting to emit white steam.
His blood began to boil, and a blood-colored airflow started to form around his body.
"This is... the Power of Qi and Blood!" Zhao Shuqi made a judgment.
Could it be that even his blood was undergoing changes, generating new power?
Xiang Yan couldn’t help but use transmission to inquire: "Junior Martial Uncle, this doesn’t look like refining an Origin Fragment."
Jiang Zhi gave a precise answer, saying: "This kid has already completed the refinement! His body already contains a trace of the Power of Origin, and I can clearly perceive its existence!"
"Furthermore, his Power of Origin is actually residing within the Sea of Consciousness."
"His current situation has nothing to do with refining an Origin Fragment."
"Instead, it’s more like..."
Zhao Shuqi interjected: "Body Refining Divine Techniques!"
Everyone was immediately even more astonished.
"Most Body Refining Divine Techniques are quite ordinary, how could they have such formidable effects?" Lu Pan voiced through transmission.
Chu Yinyin had not spoken all along because her scope of vision was narrow, and her knowledge limited...
But at this moment, she immediately said: "Whatever happens to Chu Huaixu, I don’t find it surprising!"
Zhao Shuqi nodded, saying: "If this truly is a Body Refining Divine Technique, it’s indeed mysterious."
"Not only has he increased the Power of Qi and Blood throughout his body, but the toughness of his physical body has also been greatly enhanced, by at least forty to fifty percent, and is still increasing!"
"The increase in Qi Force on his body is similar in magnitude!"
"Moreover, haven’t you all noticed that his body’s self-healing ability seems to have been further enhanced?"
"Since he is currently remolding his physical body, doesn’t that mean he could potentially regrow an arm even if it were severed?"
Chu Huaixu’s wound recovery speed is now twice as fast as before, and the entire remolding process is considerably extravagant.
Actually, this isn’t surprising at all.
Because the so-called true Body Ascension is claimed to be able to——rebirth from a drop of blood!
Even if only a single drop of blood remains, one can recreate their body!
At this time, Xiang Yan clicked his tongue in wonder: "Both Spiritual Embryo Divine Techniques and Body Refining Divine Techniques, Chu Huaixu has become a dual supernatural abilities person, something unheard of."
"Is this the wonder of the "Dao Scripture", or is it his personal uniqueness?" He couldn’t come to a conclusion either.
Because only the Dao Ancestor and this kid in front of them have cultivated the "Dao Scripture".
The Dao Ancestor was extraordinarily powerful, to the extent that no one could completely unravel his mysteries.
While everyone was enthusiastically chatting, Jiang Zhi’s expression suddenly changed.
He surprisedly transmitted: "His physical body remolding is about to complete, and unexpectedly, the power of his physical body spontaneously started to attract that wisp of Power of Origin!"
"It seems to be absorbing a part of it into the physical body."
The development of events was exactly as Jiang Zhi said.
This wisp of Power of Origin initially traversed Chu Huaixu’s limbs and bones, visiting every place where a Shell Spirit could reside, but it did not linger.
It appeared quite choosy, seemingly disdainful of these places, unwilling to settle there.
Even his Sixth Level Middle Grade Spiritual Embryo failed to retain it.
Eventually, this wisp of Power of Origin hovered over the Sword Heart’s blade.
At this moment, however, half of it was forcibly dispersed and absorbed.
This half-wisp of Power of Origin was essentially divided into countless parts, melding into every place where a Shell Spirit could reside.
The next instant, Heaven and Earth Phenomena arose!
Above the Junzi Temple, there appeared a golden apparition!
The apparition was as tall as ten thousand feet, seemingly connecting heaven and earth.
Chu Huaixu suddenly opened his eyes, golden light surging within them.
And this golden apparition of ten thousand feet also opened its eyes, emanating a terrifying aura in all directions!
——Body Ascension, Heaven and Earth!
