Starting With Chaos Physique

Chapter 4 Thirty Million Catties, a New Limit to the Physical Body

Within the palace, immortal mist covered more than half the knees, resembling liquid in its density.

Gu Changsheng’s expression remained as calm as still water, while a scripture automatically surfaced in his mind.

The Primordial Furnace Sutra, Body Refinement Chapter.

This was a derivative chapter of the Gu Family’s clan-securing technique, the ‘Primordial Sutra’.

Over the past three years, he had fully integrated his cultivation into his body, transforming the vast essence energy he had absorbed at birth into a fulcrum to break through the shackles of the flesh.

At this moment, that fulcrum shattered.

“Using the body as a furnace, blood and qi* as the fire, nourishing the meridians with myriad furnaces…” Gu Changsheng grasped the essence of the text, experiencing an epiphany as if a stream of enlightenment had poured into his soul.

[*Qi refers to refined spiritual energy]

A chapter filled with infinite mysteries imprinted itself deep within his mind, each word embodying the ultimate truths of heaven and earth, as though formed by the condensation of countless stars.

Terrifying energy began to permeate his body.

The sound of primordial chaos echoed beneath his skin.

Blood boiled, and his bones underwent transformation.

In this world, the first realm of cultivation was the Body Realm, divided into three stages: Blood Refinement, Bone Tempering, and Body Forging.

Each stage required the opening of thirty-six Heavenly Meridians within the body. In the most perfected state, one could possess a total of 108 Heavenly Meridians.

Each Heavenly Meridian contained the strength of one star (equal to 1,000 catties* of force).

[*1000 catties = 600 Kg]

For ordinary cultivators, reaching the peak of the Body Realm granted a force of 108,000 catties*.

[*108,00 catties = 64,800 Kg]

For geniuses with special physiques such as Spirit Body or King Body, the energy contained within each Heavenly Meridian could vary greatly. Not to mention, the number of Heavenly Meridians they could open at perfection was also vastly different.

The extreme record of the Body Realm was set in ancient times by a body cultivator.

With a casual swing of one arm, they could unleash 1.08 million catties of force, and at full strength, nearly a billion catties of immense power.

One strength breaks ten thousand laws; under a single punch, all creation collapses.

This record had remained unbroken to this day.

“The Body Realm extreme in the Three Thousand Dao Realms is 80 million catties. The Ancestor only reached 50 million catties at the time, a significant gap.”

“I wonder how far Changsheng can go?”

Their eyes fixated on Gu Changsheng’s figure.

Although he was only three years old, his young face already exuded composure and indifference.

Endless and vast energy poured forth wildly.

Unable to suppress it any longer, Gu Changsheng released a torrent of crystalline, fire-jade-like blood energy that soared into the sky, breaking through the clouds and transforming into a majestic dragon of qi and blood!

Boom!

His entire body trembled violently, and a Heavenly Meridian was instantly pierced through.

Within the blood-red Heavenly Meridian, a faint cyan light resembling primordial chaos began to emerge.

This Heavenly Meridian was crystal-clear and flawless, exuding a jade-like brilliance with a faint, heavy aura of primordial energy.

The Chaos Heavenly Meridian!

Even so, it’s merely imbued with a trace of chaotic energy.

In an instant, a vast and boundless power surged into every corner of his body.

“So this is the power of the Body Realm?” Gu Changsheng opened his eyes and murmured.

Slightly clenching his fist, he felt the void shatter with explosive sounds.

“1.08 million catties!”

And this was just the power of one Heavenly Meridian.

Soon, rumbling sounds resembling thunder erupted within Gu Changsheng’s body once again.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The second, third, fourth, and fifth Heavenly Meridians…

For an entire day, the Gu Family was filled with these terrifying sounds.

Every clan member stopped what they were doing and looked toward the palace where Gu Changsheng resided, their faces full of shock.

“This is our child!” Gu Changsheng’s parents exclaimed excitedly.

Because of Gu Changsheng, their status within the Gu Family had risen as well.

“The power at the Body Realm is already so astonishing. When the Young Master continues his cultivation, who knows what heights he will reach?”

Other Gu Family members spoke in reverence.

Finally, Gu Changsheng ceased his cultivation, his eyes gleaming with vitality.

After breaking through his limits, he felt the potential of his body to be nearly infinite.

The number of Heavenly Meridians had already reached perfection and could not increase further.

For this, he was quite satisfied.

“365 Heavenly Meridians! A total of 365!”

“108 is perfection, and every additional Heavenly Meridian multiplies the difficulty exponentially. It’s said that even the Ancestors only had a little over 200!”

Many elders exclaimed excitedly. Such a number of Heavenly Meridians had shattered a terrifying record.

Not to mention the sheer, nearly horrifying strength he possessed.

At this moment, all the senior members of the Gu Family were in a state of shock.

“So I now possess 30 million catties of force? But if I unleash it in a burst, the power I release will probably be even greater.” Gu Changsheng pondered.

He couldn’t even fathom the true extent of 300 million catties of force.

An ordinary Body Realm cultivator struck by such a punch would surely be reduced to ash, leaving nothing behind.

As Gu Changsheng shattered the extreme limits of the Body Realm, an ancient, unadorned, crystal-clear mirror suddenly appeared in the void.

It bore no mysterious markings and appeared without warning.

“The Heavenly Dao Mirror!”

Many members of the Gu Family cried out in alarm.

The Heavenly Dao Mirror was a unique existence in the Three Thousand Dao Realms, but it hadn’t appeared for tens of thousands of years.

“What is this?” Gu Changsheng asked in surprise.@@novelbin@@

A hazy light emanated from the mirror’s surface, enveloping him.

“Do not worry. This is the manifestation of the Heavenly Dao’s rules.” A man in gray robes suddenly appeared, smiling faintly.

“Greetings, Ancestor!”

“Greetings, Ancestor!”

All the members of the Gu Family greeted him in unison.

The gray-robed man was not the founder of the Gu Family but was his direct descendant, having lived countless years.
