H. Chapter 06
"He really broke into the Body tempering realm!" Qin Jia was greatly surprised. He didn't think about when Liu Ye would start his Qi cultivation. Yet, just two hours after he entered soul cultivation, Liu Ye also embarked on Qi cultivation.
If this news was passed to Liu Ye family, they would be overjoyed and extremely happy for him. It's been nearly six months since Liu Ye left his parents and their sect disbanded. Now, Liu Ye managed to become a Qi cultivator, which he failed to become in the past twenty years.
.
.
Even after the breakthrough to Body tempering realm, 1st layer, Liu Ye's body didn't stop
absorbing Qi. His eyes were blood-red, and veins protruded on his forehead. Tears uncontrollably fell from his eyes.
After reaching 1st layer, he changed the cultivation technique from his sect's basic body tempering cultivation technique to the cultivation technique he inherited from activating pure jade body. He named this nameless Qi art after his unique physique, "Pure Jade Art". Evergreen Essence Scripture is used in combination with Pure Jade Art.
The complete Pure Jade art is sealed, and with advancement in his realm, a new layer of Pure Jade art is unsealed. In his previous life he unsealed many layers and now with the activation of Pure Jade body he could cultivate those layers which he managed to unseal.
He circulated the flow of qi according to the first layer of Pure Jade art.
His hands continuously absorbed Qi from the high grade spirit crystal and the small Qi, gathering information. With the continuous absorption of Qi, his body strength grew constantly.
Liu Ye's body is undergoing constant development with the Qi strengthening his flesh, bones, and meridians.
As he is absorbing the Qi from the high-grade spirit crystals, the Qi flowed through his meridian, it tempered his meridians. Then Liu Ye tempered his flesh, muscles, and organs with it. The impurities in Liu Ye's body are slowly getting expelled through the pores of his skin.
In the Body tempering realm, a cultivators body can be strengthened with either spirit energy or through physical training. The Qi flows through a cultivators body and strengthens his meridians and bones. Many choose to strengthen their body through extreme physical activities in the Body Tempering Realm, few choose to use Qi to strengthen their body in the Body Tempering Realm. It's because picking Qi to transform their body is a harsh method. It's faster, but strains a person's body and mind.
The soothing Qi turn harsh when forcibly used to temper an ordinary person's body. The body of a person who followed physical training also slowly gets tempered by spirit, but it is not enough and takes a long time to improve their strength and realm. They can improve through resources that are useful for body tempering.
But absorbing Qi, to temper the body, mainly cleanses the impurities from the body of a cultivator. It doesn't improve his physical strength by much but makes a cultivators body more suitable to cultivating qi. And the cultivator has to bear sharp pain that affects his senses throughout the process. The domineering amounts of Qi needed to temper a cultivator's body and the agonising pain suffered throughout the process is unappealing to many cultivators.
A strong body helps a cultivator to establish a strong foundation. And a Body Tempering Realm tempered with spirit energy is even more domineering for Qi cultivation. It also helps heavily with Pure Jade Body.
A cultivator reaches the next layer after his body is tempered with Qi to a certain extent. As the cultivator reaches his peak condition, he will endure stronger sharp pain all over his body from Qi tempering his body. Many cultivators can't endure the pain and, after reaching their peak tolerance, breaks through the layer and steps into the next layer.
And every cultivator tries to endure as much as they could so they can build a strong foundation for their future. But if they overexerted themselves, there's a certain risk of damaging their foundation.
As the body tempering layer improves, the quantity of Qi required for tempering and the harshness of tempering increases.
Large amounts of Qi entered Liu Ye's body through the acupoints. Liu Ye felt excruciating, prickling pain coursing throughout his entire body. Because of Pure Jade Arts, his body is absorbing the Qi more smoothly and it entered faster. Liu Ye can build a stronger foundation than others if he can resist the pain during body tempering realm.
Liu Ye gritted his teeth, sweat dripping from his forehead, his clothes wet. His face was contorted with pain. He continued to concentrate on absorbing and tempering his body with Qi.
Liu Ye's will was already tempered to extreme heights when his soul had to endure tremendous pain while he merged with his system. He endured that pain for an unknown amount of time when he was fusing with the system.
As his body is tempered, cleansed and strengthened, crackling sounds emanated from his bones and a black murky substance was being expelled from his pores.
Body Tempering Realm, 2nd Layer!
With his body being tempered continuously, he reached the 2nd Layer in the Body Tempering Realm in a short amount of time after just entering into the Body Tempering Realm. This is because of his cultivation technique as well as him continuing the momentum of his body constitution transforming into Pure Jade body.
"Huh! He broke into the 2nd layer ?" Qin Jia was genuinely shocked when Liu Ye's cultivation layer increased moments after breaking through into the Body Tempering Realm. He knew the pain a person has to go through in order to reach the next layer in the Body Tempering Realm with using Qi to temper their bodies. But Liu Ye, he just broke through to the 2nd layer moments after entering into Body Tempering Realm. It was as if he didn't experience the pain others would experience in tempering their body.
"With his weak body, his body endurance might not be good, and he reached the second layer with less effort?" Qin Jia thought and came to a conclusion. Because Liu Ye is suffering from the corrosion of Death Qi in his body, making his body weak, he thought his limit might be lower than others.
Just as he was contemplating and observing his cultivation, he saw the weird scene again.
Body Tempering Realm, 3rd Layer!
While gritting his teeth and suffering extreme agony, Liu Ye broke into the third layer of Body Tempering Realm.
He didn't cease tempering his body, despite being covered in murky substances and sweat, he persisted in his cultivation.
With his hands absorbing the Qi at an increased speed and under increased pressure, he continued to cultivate.
Body Tempering Realm, 4th Layer!
After a long period of time, he once again broke into another layer.
His body was in extreme pain. He stopped tempering his body and used Qi to relieve the numbness of his body. The Qi that made him feel extreme agony just moments ago, gave him a warm feeling and the pain gradually subsided. He stopped cultivating after some time and opened his eyes. He slowly fell flat on the ground, spreading his hands. This is his limit after just activating Pure Jade body. In the next periods of cultivation, the speed of his breakthroughs won't be as fast as now. Using the momentum of his body transforming into Pure Jade body, he managed to reach the 4th layer in the Body tempering realm.
As he breathed out, black gas with impure substances exhaled out of his mouth. His body was also covered in an extreme thin layer of black stinky substance. Drenched in sweat, he exuded a nasty, unpleasant smell from his body that gave him the feeling of vomiting with every breath he took. But he couldn't move.
He felt a gaze on him and turned his head towards Qin Jia, who was looking at him with a shocked expression.
"Brother Qin, help me. I don't have any strength to stand." Liu Ye requested.
