Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation

Chapter 851: Chapter 627: 20 Years Later_2

The improvement in his control over his own physical body also made He Song realize that he had certain expectations for the Golden Core Body Refining Skill he would need to seek in the future.

He Song had attempted the practice of body refining formulas quite early on.

The Divine Profound Body Refining Skill he currently cultivated was found in the Book Collection Pavilion of the Thick Earth Sect and he had been practicing it ever since.

Although the upper limit of the Divine Profound Body Refining Skill was not high, being at the Foundation Establishment level,

for He Song at that time, it was already the best body refining formula available.

However, He Song’s cultivation level had long since reached the Golden Core Realm, and the Divine Profound Body Refining Skill was no longer the best body refining formula within his reach.

Regrettably,

for a long time after stepping into the Golden Core Realm, He Song had never found even one Golden Core Body Refining Skill in the outside world.

Under such circumstances, He Song had no choice but to continue practicing this Foundation Establishment body refining formula until now.

Now, after twenty years of seclusive cultivation, He Song’s cultivation of the Divine Profound Body Refining Skill seemed to have touched upon some mysterious and profound realm.

He Song had an epiphany about the body refining formula he would need to practice in the future.

Body refining formulas.

What is most important?

If asked before, He Song would definitely have thought it was the ultimate physical defense capability.

After all, to resist various Artifacts, skills, and even spirit artifacts with the strength of one’s body, to break all laws with sheer force, was the ultimate pursuit of a body cultivator.

If one could truly reach such a level, one would not be far from being invincible in the world.

But now,

after twenty years of cultivation, He Song’s own physical strength had not improved much.

Yet it felt as though his body had touched upon some mysterious and profound realm.

He Song had some new insights.

The strength of the body does not lie in its unparalleled defensive capabilities.

It lies in the ability to control one’s own body.

Once someone can fully control their own body, the increase in strength they can obtain is incomparable.

Cultivators cast spells, control objects with divine sense, even forming Arrays and hand seals—these all require the body as a basis.

If these aspects could be improved by even a small fraction, the increase in one’s own strength would be immeasurable.

Under these circumstances,

once someone truly can control their own body, their own strength will undoubtedly surpass that of most cultivators of the same level.

When fighting against others, the time needed to cast spells is less than that of the opponent.

When fighting against others, the manipulation of spirit artifacts is more agile and powerful.

When fighting against others, the speed of forming Arrays and hand seals is faster.

All of these can bring a huge increase in a person’s abilities in duels, as well as their own strength.

Under such an increase, their strength will certainly far exceed that of cultivators of the same rank.

And this,

is the terrifying advancement that comes with a complete control over one’s physical body.

Everything that He Song had deduced about the changes in his physical body during his twenty years of seclusive cultivation is within this understanding.

In He Song’s view, as long as one can fully control their own body, their strength can far surpass that of other cultivators at the same level.

Such an improvement is not something that cultivators who focus only on increasing their physical strength can compare with.

Of course, to fully control one’s own body is not so easy.

Even for He Song.

His physical strength can now compete with ordinary Early Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

Moreover, after twenty years of cultivation, his control over his body has greatly increased.

But if ordinary people can hardly control their own bodies completely, what about someone like him, a Golden Elixir Master?

The physical strength of a Golden Elixir Master is already extremely strong.

Furthermore, as He Song has practiced body refining formulas for many years, his physical strength will naturally be much stronger than that of an ordinary Golden Elixir Master.

Under these circumstances, to gain complete control of oneself is likely to be a long process.

Even,

He Song felt that even if he really found such a Golden Core Body Refining Skill that could help him control his body,

he would need to practice it for a long time to achieve what he has in mind.

To gain complete control of oneself and achieve a great increase in strength will inevitably take a considerable amount of time.

Moreover, as He Song’s corporeal strength continued to increase,

his ability to control his body would decrease accordingly.

In turn, every time He Song’s physical strength became more formidable, he would need to spend time mastering his own power.

In this repetitive cycle, He Song even felt that it would be an endless task.

Unless he had cultivated to the uppermost limit, with no further progress to be made.

But by that time, He Song’s own strength would have likely become terrifyingly powerful.

Full control over his own body would hardly count for anything then.

With such thoughts in mind, another idea began to emerge within He Song.

It seems

He would indeed need to pay more attention to the art of body refining in the future.

If he could truly find a Golden Core Body Refining Skill that could help him control his physical body, it would be best to secure it.

Currently, the Divine Profound Body Refining Skill that He Song practiced could no longer keep up with his progress.

He needed a genuine Golden Core Body Refining Skill to replace the old one.

Only by doing so would He Song’s progress in the body refining dao face a dramatic transformation.

And also allow his physical strength to grow rapidly.

In these twenty years, He Song’s physical strength had not increased significantly compared to before.

Although this also allowed He Song to become aware about controlling his body,

who would be willing to let their strength stagnate?

Unsatisfied with the slow growth of his physical strength, He Song held these thoughts in his heart.

With such thinking,

He Song also had a slight epiphany regarding the key elements of body refining formulas he would need afterward.

Besides progress in mana cultivation, as well as in body refinement,

He Song had not been entirely idle in these twenty years.

Apart from daily cultivation, He Song continually delved into various skills he had learned.

In this span of twenty years,

He Song’s skills had improved tremendously.

Whether it was Amulet Tao, Elixir Tao, Array Tao, or Artifact Tao,

after twenty years of continuous study, He Song was much more proficient in each domain than he had been twenty years prior.

Especially in array tao,

Initially,

He Song had comprehensively understood a Demonic Array Method in Luo Feng Province’s treasure land and subsequently transformed it into the Yin Yang Rebirth Array.

Such an array had a profound impact on He Song’s understanding of array tao.

Whether it was the Technic of laying arrays, the perception of array tao, or even mastery of the principles of array tao, all had improved immensely.

Now, after twenty years of assimilation, He Song’s understanding of array tao had undergone a revolutionary change.

Demonic Array Method is vastly different from the Righteous Tao’s arrays.

By combining the strengths of both, He Song’s comprehension of array tao naturally far exceeded that of ordinary people.

The experience from others can be the key to unlocking one’s own potential. The Yin Yang Rebirth Array that He Song previously transformed allowed him to traverse a great distance in the world of array tao.

The current He Song, if faced with a Nascent Soul Grand Array, might even have the chance to thoroughly grasp it.

Even the most complex Golden Elixir Array, given He Song’s current understanding,

could probably be unraveled within a few years.@@novelbin@@

His improvements in array tao were extremely significant.

And in other areas,

His progress was not small, either.

However, regarding Elixir Tao and Amulet Tao, although He Song had made some improvements in these twenty years, they were not particularly significant.

The main reason was that even though He Song spent every day cultivating and researching skills,

a considerable amount of time was devoted to refining Golden Elixirs and Spirit Elixirs, and drawing Golden Core Talismans.

The main purpose of refining Golden Elixirs and Spirit Elixirs, and drawing Golden Core Talismans, was that He Song needed these items to exchange for spirit stones.
